In his excellent book, “Alfred E. Smith, Critical Study,” Harry E. Pringle, discussing the close and bitter fight in the Madison Square Con- vention over the Ku Klux Klan plank, the climax of a tempestuous graphically nar- rates: convention, The Madison Square Garden that night was an ominous place. So thin was the veneer of civilization, so black the thoughts in the minds of the dele- gates that it was a terrifying thing for onlookers' to behold. The City Po- lice were on hand in added numbers. It was, in fact, only the presence of husky Trish patrolmen, who would as cheer- fully have knocked in the head of a pugnacious Catholic as of a Protestant Klansman, that prevented rioting. * * * Intolerance won, assisted by many dele- gafes who felt that religious liberty and political freedom were less vital than yotes in the Klan section of the coun- try, and who therefore cast their ballots for the milder of the two planks. The opponents of the Kian made a gallant fight, however, and for hours the result was in doubt. When votes * * * were counted the tally stood 546.15 for the plank which straddled the issue and 542.85 for the one that had been writ- ten with courage. The printed record of the 1924 Democratic A’“'iNnkmal Convention, while contradictory, shows the vote to be even closer than the figures given by Mr. Pringle. The record quotes the chair- | of the convemtion: - The Chair anuoynces the result of 1.

Men and women, who through no| other force than conscience, serupulously respect| every other law, scoff openly, boastfully and jok-| ingly at the prohibition law. Ten years ago| men would have been ashamed to confess such| a disregard of any law.” | Discussing local option, Mrs. Walker made it clear that she advocated temperance, but she said [she Dbelieved that persons should be able to| drink temperately without becoming criminals. “Some sections have populations whose ori-| s, temperament and conditions of living make tain amount of alcohol a help and a hap- ? she said. “Others are satisfied without anything stronger than tea. * Prohibition should be a matter of local decision. Those persons who want prohibition should have it, and those| who do not want it should not be afflicted with it. A reasonable amount of ‘percentage liquor’ should be available for those who like it, with- out breaking the law.” stop over- thing, as hee is not gi a ¢ pine Work for the Scientists. (Kansas City Post.) It is a pity that scientists have not already done something for the suckers of the country. Surely there is some way of curing the disease that makes people invest millions of dollars an- nually in worthless stocks and in other things promising big returns. J The sucker must have a mental trouble or he would know that everything isn't exactly right when enormous returns are promised. He could reason that wealthy men are just as smart as he is and that if the investments were safe these wealthy men would take advantage of them. But he doesn’t reason this out. He just invests, loges his money, and then goes to work to earn more to invest in something worthless. The scientist should strive to isolate the sucker germ and find a means of destroying it. A cure for the sucker disease would keep many honest, hard-working men from giving away the fruits of their labor. Really the question isn't whether the man chosen to do Wayne B.
