Senator Moses wet himself and believes that the Bast is wet—and he is a wise politician that is not easily fooled. He recently said that the East is the “Flanders of the campaign” and that there the 1928 battle will be won or lost.

Bryan during his three campaigns for the Presidency, announced that will support Gov. Smith for President and contribute his campaign. He sg Prohibition failure and is unenforceable where public is not be- hind it, and, he declares it is wrong in principle and un-Christian. It violates, he says, the Jef- fersonian principles ¢f democratic government that form the foundation of the United States.

(Portland Oregonian.) newspaper neighbor expresses that “the little red schoolhouse of memory . is more honored than it deserves.” We do not agree with this view, notwithstanding the speci- fication of the indictment. Its equipment was meager, it is true. Its teacher was often untrained and sometimes no farther advanced, scholastically; than her eldest pupils were. But it embodied-the spirit of com- munity organization in the interests of education, and it bridged the gap between no education and the comparatively excellent facilitise of the present. It merits a memorial thing of its conditions earnestness A the opinfon because, kind that of its time, and sincerity. representing was possible it was the the best under the symbol of (Seattle Business Chronicle.) During era of American saloon, the country cross-roads tavern and the low groggery of the city formed the rocks on which the liquor ship finally split and sank. But the “corner saloon,” with all its faults, was not so insidious as to- day's “round-the-corner bootlegger.” In brief, such is the conclusion of Dr.) Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, who not only reports a mounting death- rate, but declares that Prohibition has yet to brove its effectiveness in advaneing the health of adult male population. Admittedly, less liquor is now used, but it is so deadly as to more than make up for the smaller quantity coneumed. In 1920 alcoholic mortality reached its minfmum rate; teday it is six times as high. The figures are a harsh indictment of Volsteadism. Too Much Money Taxed from People. (Aberdeen, Wash., World.) There surplus of 398 millions in the United State sury at the close of the fiscal year. Fine, many will say. ‘Mellon is very clever to save that. But this surplus is not saved. It is not an accident. It is not an amount of money surprisingly and gratifyingly left over after all bills have been paid. It is mot the result of care- ful, shrewd pruning and pinching here and there. It is a calculated, designed thing and tax rates are arranged so as to produce it. It comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers who are assessed to raise it. It represents the difference between the amount the Government actually ‘needs to conduct its operations and the amount it arbi- trarily took from the taxpayers. In other words, the taxpayers have paid 398 millions more than they should have been asked to pay. “America is the master of the world,” says the former German Kaiser.
