His home state is big for him. Nothing can beat him but fraud and money. One sweetly solemn thought is that unless we begin now to line the highways with trees, It will be im possible to line them with bill boards later. :o: The only difficult attendant on some explanations of the involved question is that they last so long the listeners lose interest in the original question. :o: A whispering campaign is hard to break up.'

Just tell that to the fellow who swings out of line and tries to crawl back in front cf you when a truck looms up over the hill. Bigotry has no head and cannct think, no heart and cannot fee! When she moves it is in wrath; when she pauses it is amid ruin. Her pray ers are curses, her god is demon, he communion is death, her vengence 33 eternity, her decalogue written in the blood of her victims, and if she stops for a moment in her ir.fernf.l flight it is upon a kindred rock t) whet her vulture fang for a more canguinary desolation. :o: Ray Standard Baker, tie biograph er of Woodrow Wilson, Is a non partisan in politics. He kept the pictures of Hoover and Smith side by side on the way of his study un til both acceptance speeches had been delivered. After he heard the Governor's acceptance on the radio, he tore down Hoover's picture and came out for Smith. He is not in terested in the liquor question and was waiting to compare the two docu ments from the standpoint of liberal vision. The Governor's address he called "candid, progressive, humane," marked by "vigorous idealism, strong humanity, sincerity." In his Oklahoma City speech Gov. Smith challenged the candor and honesty of his opponents who have raised the cry of "Tammany" against him and bluntly declared the real animus of his hostility was "noth ing more or less than my religion." He specifically charged former Sen ator Owen of Oklahoma the loudest anli-Tammanyite of them, all, per haps with camouflaging the motive of his hostility. Senator Owen has de nied religious prejudice and reiter ated the Tammany attack, saying that he is opposed to Gov. Smith as the product of a corrupt system." The Post-Dispatch has already pointed out that Tammany has not exerted any malign influence on Gov. Smith during the governorship of New York. The truth of that state ment is evidenced in the fact that none of his Republican critics has charged him with subserviency to Tammany as Governor, an accusation which certainly would have been made in the bitter political battles waged in that State if there were any ground for it. And if Tammany could not and did not control Mr. Smith in Albany it seemed preposterous to this paper to assume that it could control him in Washington. But what about the public career of Alfred E. Smith before he became Governor? William Allen White has spoken on that subject and retired in a moral rout. The Rev. Dr. Strat- on rants on and on in vituperation. which waxes moie violent and, to the spiritually generous, ever move abominable. Is there a non-partisan witness to testify for Mr. Smith be fore he was Governor and while he was a member of the New York Leg islature as a "Tammany man"? Such a witness has been summoned by John W. Davis, Democratic candi date for President in 1924. Review ing the present nominee's career Mr. Davis quotes the New York Tribune, now the Herald-Tribune, "then-and now the strongest Repubican paper in New York or the East," when Mr. Smith was leaving the Legislature to become Sheriff of New York County. That paper said this: The City of New York could afford to pay Alfred E. Smith all the prospective emoluments of the Sheriff's office as a consid eration for his continuing to rep resent a local assembly district at Albany. In the past 10 years there has been no Republican, Progressive or Democrat in the State Legislature who has rend ered as effective, useful, down right service to this town as ex Speaker Smith. There is Republican testimony as to, the character and quality of the man while yet a minor political fig ure, before he had come into the "light and grace" conceded by Wil liam Allen White, before he had be come Governor and "bigger than Tammany." That is the answer to the Owens, Whites, Stratons, Wille brandts, not forgetting Senator Borah. 'FORGIVENESS" Although not vitally concerned, the public in general will feel some slight sense of gratification over the reported reconciliation of Clarence H. Mackay, the millionaire capital ist, to the marriage of his daughter, Ellin, and the former . Bowery song plugger, Irving Berlin. Perhaps it is because all the world loves a lover; and perhaps It is because parental wrath over a romance, if long drawn out and implacable, is not a pretty thing. Enough time has elapsed since the marriage to prove fairly well that Ellin Mackay knew what she was doing when she married Berlin. To all appearances, they are a congen ial pair and blissfuly happy over the birth of their child. The bugaboo of poverty has not entered the case, for Berlin is comfortably wealthy. Further, he has risen above his hum ble origin, just as did his proud father-in-law who was born the son of a dollar-a-day miner. A lucky strike in the silver fields was open sesame for Mackay and a lucky strike with a popular song served Berlin in the same handsome manner. So much for social barriers swept away. . Parents cannot always be pleased with the choice of mates made by their children. Parental objection often is well placed and its conten tions proved. - On the other hand, parents sometimes set up imaginary barriers that are leaped lightly by young people in love. In either case, the prolongation of parental wrath, the harboring of resentment and the withholding of whole-hearted bless ing often works greater harm to the happiness of the newslylweds than all the other obstacles combined. :o: The sixty home runs that Babe Ruth hit during the 1927 season, and the two in the world series, brought the total number of home runs made by Ruth in his major league career to 426.

LEMONADE SUPPLANTS BEER Lemonade is rapidly supplanting beer as a thirst quencher in Germany, according to news reports from that country -which state that during the recent hot we'kther the consumption of lemonade and mineral and soda water increased 200 per cent while the consumption of beer rose only slightly. Even that of milk increased some 25 per cent. If the report be true it fneans a very important development in a country where beer has been the traditional beverage for decades. Be fore the war almost everyone in Ger many drank beer. The father of a family, out on a Sunday excursion, upon arriving at a restaurant, would order beer, the mother would do like wise, and the children encouraged by their parents woud 'have their sip of the drink. A' young man ordering lemonade would have been looked upon with scorn and ridicule, and a girl refus ing to Join in the beer drinking would be considered a poor sport. Before the war, 'few places in Ber lin cared to handle soft drinks for the reason that the demand did not justify the expense. When the Berg liner wanter refreshment he went to a saloon or the beer restaurant. Re cently, however, ice cream parlors have been opened all over- the city, the news report states. The cream served is not good as compared with that made here, yet scores of young persons are frequenting the new re sorts. If the news report reveals the true situation it is significant that the population of a country in which beer has been almost the sole drink for so long should begin to turn an alco holic beverage without the aid of the law-making body.
