Whatever changes four years un

about in our national life, it is vir
tually certain that when the 1932
campaign rolls around men will still

was something about Governor
Smith, a certain quality about his
appeal encouraging the hope that
an administration of his would purge
men's styles of the vanities and
came nearest to the principles and fripperties that crept in under the

of issues incidental to the contest
which may more or less influence the
voters.
Take the Smith-Hoover campaign,
for instance. Gov. Smith raised sev
eral issues that of prohibition, that
of government control of water-
power, that of farm relief and that
of honesty in government. We sup
ported him as other liberals did on
his declarations with regard to these
issues. We liked his program and
pledges better than we did Mr. Hoo
ver's.
We do not doubt that a large ma
jority of the people agreed with us
in favoring government control of
water-power and opposing the con
trol of water-power by the Power
Trust. But a large part of that ma
jority disagreed with us on prohi
bition, or farm relief or some other
issue. So each issue had its counter
issue which drew away numbers.
There was no agreement on all of
them. Then there was party loy
alty and habit which influenced the
votes of many. Finally there was
religious prejudice, which undoubt
edly exerted a very great influence.

JAILED AND CHIVALRY
Chivilry is not yet dead in this
land; and because it is not, Fred
erick Brown, of New York City, had
to spend the night in jail recently
Brown .wa walking - along the
street when he saw a woman strug
gling to free herself from a man. He
did what any chivalrous man would
have done; he ran over to help her
grappling with her assailant so that
she could get away. She promptly
vanished down a side street.
Then Brown was arrested and tak
en to jail. The woman, it developed,
had just robbed a clothing store and
the man grappling with her was the
proprietor, trying to hold her until
One team of horses was trying to the police came Brown had to stay
pull the load over a mountain,' while
other horses were pulling in the op
posite direction.
We do not believe the election set
tled any particular issue, but the
aggregate of votes on all issues and
influences was on the side of Mr.
Hoover and the Republican party.
This decision at the polls, however.
does not mean the defeat of the
sound liberal causes which the Post-
Dispatch supported. The debate en
lightened many millions of Amer
in jail over night, and was not re
leased until he could explain things
to the judge the next morning.

Mr. Hoover has a great opportunity
to demonstrate that he is what he
professed to be and which many of
his advocates said he was a pro
gressive. We hope he will.
We are merely pointing out now

this kind or any politican contest Is
