OPPOSITION 10 DRY LAW GROWS. Coincident with a Presidential candidate straw vote recently conducted on a nationwide scale by the Pathfinder, Washington, D. C., magazine, a poll on various issues was also taken. Included was a vote on Prohibition. The dquestion asked by the magazine was: “Is Prohibition a Suc- cess?” While the majority answering the query said “yes,” it was not so pronounced as was the case when an identical query was propounded on a former occasion sometime ago by the same publication in a similar straw vote. The tabula- tion showed 71,176 voting yes, 45,846 answered no and in addition there were 16,668 favoring modification. The magazine’s report of the result said: “If this straw vote is any criterion, the number of people opposed to the draw law'is growing. In poll taken by the Pathfinder several years ‘ago, the ratio was one wet to every three drys. The new poll shows six wets to every seyen or no its It and that 'MEAT ANIMALS FEWER AS POPULA- TION GROWS. Although therc are 35,000,000 more the United States now than 25 years ago, “ ing to Dr. J.

Smith's sup- porters is not how . to obtain the nomination at any price but how to obtain it under conditions which will permit him to make good use of it.| The first thing to do, in our opinion, is to dispel the impression “created by Gov. Smith's silence that he will take the nomination at any price. The way to dispel that impression is for the G¢ ernor to break his silence and speak out clearly on the larger domestic and international ques- tions. His record in New York and his person- ality are enormous assets. But they are not a platform. They have made him nationally known But they have not made him a national leader. Continued silence may help him toward the nom- ination, But if persisted in it will make a bad political situation and a bad impression. It will be interpreted as shrewd politics. And politics which is too shrewd is no longer good politics. And it is not statesmanship. AP T ST The Red Cross in 1927. (New York Times.) In time of peace as well as war the Red Cross is a strong and active force. A suryey of its work during 1927, in The World’s Health, is evidence of its growing power for international velief work. Fifty-two national societies were represented at the last meeting of its Board of Governors. . To demonstrate its usefulness and to increase its prestige ity has been one of the chief aims of the past year. The Oriental Red Cross gocieties, meeting Jast month, reported the meeting of a real need in the ordinary life of the people they serve. In Czechoslovakia a celebration was held to jdentity the Red Cross with the cause of peace The League of Natioms authorized the asocin tion of the Red Cross socleties with govern mental activities, thereby establishing a perman- ent international relief organization in peace or war. an and divided trong to ent The grow {in considerable | virtues, in some his opponents, in feeling that and hi is due of | are | measure to sue nd |ers in | might poor are start cvery least Serious disasters in many countries have been speedily -mitigated.
