The very first action of Gov. Alfred E. Smith as Democratic Presidential nominee was to not- ify the Houston convention prior to its adjourn- ment that he would carry his ideas on Prohibi- tion before the country in a nationwide speak- ing campaign during the late Summer and Fall months. And he took steps to see that the con- vention and the public at large understood him by redefining his own position in National Pro- hibition. It seems clear, also, that he believes present conditions arising from the preposterous Volstead Act have disgusted a very large elen of Americans and is not afraid to go before ment the country as the apostle of State Rights and local self-government by means of Which he is con- vinced a betterment can be obtained even under he Mayor of Casterbridge” is given first the Eighteenth Amendment. 1\‘\:!(1'\)1: :;1\01!;.: the mlnvels. an estimate in conformity % e, N oy atan e sustained popularity of that bool 3 &t dn recent weeks, during the tag-end offpys aAmerica, which has almost lorgollenk'srl‘;)l;: ghe, pre-convention campaign, there were some|may be surprised to learn that Mr. Kin thinks who doubted that Gov.

Smith’s views on that subject. Nothing could be more ecisive and to the point than his declaration: If it is the will of the people of this nation that I am to take oath as Presi- dent to protect and defend our Con- stitutfon and laws, I will execute that in- It would have been indeed a huge political joke were the New York Governor to have been named on a platform wholly suitable to the “dry” fanatics. But the prospect rather is that once again a positive word will be spoken for ‘“en- forcing” whatever the law calls for concerning prohibition. Yet that does not exclude indi- vidual belief that perhaps a better law could later be enacted. It has been calmly argued by some folks that matters like prohibition hardly belong in the Constitution and statute. Have parties and their conventions, s0 much less calm, been indiretly proving that theorem? An Estimate of Hardy. (New York Times.) The Cornhill Magazine continues to print within its quiet buff covers matter worthy of its Thackerayan youth, cussion of Thomas George King has a dis- Hardy's work. As the great old man of Dorchester fades further into the shadows, the larger grow the outlines of his sallery of English characters. Ironist and pes- mist Mr. King finds the author of “The Re- turn of the Native,” poet once (in “The Dynasts”), cynic never. Hardy seems to him the grim but sympathetic narrator of inexorable fate, preventing those made for happiness from being happy, as with Tess, and frustrating those craving education, as with Jude. Mr. King adds that what Dickens was to Lon- don folk Hardy was to the country people of England But “‘there is little of the love of the hedgerow in his books. It is of the moor- land, the woods, the fields, the sky, the wind, the rain that he writes.” They are an integral part of his narrative: what Egdon Heath was in the lives of Yeobright, Gabriel Oak and the Reddleman Mr. King repeats the story that the criticisms of his treatment of sex in “Tess” so preyed upon Hardy’'s sensitiveness that he wrote no more novels and turned to poetry. This was a mere incident in his literary life, though it lasted | for thirty years, while the poems of Hardy's con- temporary, George Meredith, form ‘“the most en- during part” of his, tained so high a level for three successive tales as Hardy did in ‘“The Mayor,” “The Woodland- The Communist candidate for President must feel slighted because the Semate Committee made no move to investigate his campaign expenses.— (Indianapolis Star.) g R ‘\v“ "fair pocket,” Gladys, is a pocket with nothing in it but air.

The pretty girl has all the luck she always can get a man and al- ¢s get acquitted for shooting him after she gets tired of him. Probably many a man dates with red hot mammas because the mam- ma in his home is such a human iceberg, 5 About the best that can be said for some girls’ faces is that they afford a parking space for their organs of smell and sight and a lot of paint. Some husbands would be pretty near ideal if their wives didn’t need so much money to keep up with the Joneses. between a career and marriage is a serious question to decide, but she’ll run up against a more ser- jous one when she reaches that time where she has to decide be- tween being hungry and fat. A man buys an umbrella to keep off the rain, but when a wo- man buys one it has to match her costumes and be more ornamental than useful—like her handker- chiefs.
