It is really a testimonial to the strength of the position of Gov. Smith that his opponents in attempting to find a base for their opposition assume so many things for facts that not facts at all. They are making a mistake, for it is not likely that the people will regard as authentic arguments whick are based on un- truths, and befcre the campaign over most if not all of the untruths will be exposed. It is sign of weakness that fabrications, when once expressed, are grabbed with avidity * by the whole Prohibition outfit. Even the usually careful Chri Monitor is among those that are circulating as facts things that are not true. For instance, on the editorial page of its igsue of August 2 appears the following: Gov. Smith flatly repudiated the plank dealing with Prohibition, which was the chief subject of controversy in the Committee on Resolutions and stands as the matured expression of the wish of the convention. * * * Both Smith and Raskob stand opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment, which the Houston platform upheld. * * * That is not true in any particular, as all the members of the Resolutions Committee and all who followed closely the of the Convention know. The American Review of Revi ment the political situation similar statement. Senator of the Committee on are is a ian Science proceedings Houston ¥s in its com- contained a Pittman, Chairman Resolutions at Houston, wrote a letter to Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of the magazin in which he quoted the tran- seribed stemographic record of the proceedings of the Committee on Resolutions and the Convention itself to prove that it was not true. Senator Pittman showed that Senator G author of the plank which referred to the Eighteenth Amend- ment, explained to the committee and particu- larly to Gov. Moody, a member of the Committee, in plain words that the plank did not “uphold” the Eighteenth Amendment, and bound no Demo- crat, candidate for office or otherwise, to any- thing except to the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment and all other constitutional pro- visions and laws enacted pursuant thereto as long as they were the law It left them free, Senator Glass said, to take such position on the amendment of the Constitution and laws as their conscience and judgment might dictate. Senator Glass said practically the same thing in his speech to the convention prier to the vote on the plat- form, and the platform was adopted with that matter thoroughly understood. Dr. Shaw, after reading letter and the excerpts of the with it, replied that he was prepared to retract the statement that Gov. Smith had repudiated the Houston platform, because,.he admitted, he had not done so. To be exactly just the Christian Science Monitor ought also to .retract its state- men{, No one expects the Anti-Saloon League or the K| K. K. publications or even Bishop Cannon or the Methodist Episcopal Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals to retract, for they seem to count on deception as a part of their business.

The German ~New Freedom. (Boston News Bureau.) the most reassuring signs from the today is the recognition of present realities, in a sible resignation to after-war conditions, which seems to be evinced by oc- casional utterances or occurrences in the Father- land. The dream of an imperial greatness found- ed on force seems now to be quite extinguished. Which is a wise mood for Germany, and also a good omen for a world quite interested these times in plans or pact for peace-preserving. The recent German election appeared to re- *ct this disillusioned and chastened mood. So, its way, the prompt and unconditional accept- ance of the American peace treaty proposal, even though such acceptance might be good diplomatic strategy So, earlier, the attitude toward the League and Locarno. It all along the line of abrupt cleavage from what the exile in Doorn typified and im- posed. Quite significant lately, though but little commented upon, was the falling from popular favor in Germany of the Bremen aviators after or because of their tactless visit to pay silly homage at Doorn, Now comes another indication of the new atmosphere in the explicit declaration by the new Chancellor, Mueller, as head of the Govern- ment that modern Germany has divested herself of colonial ambitions. He puts the case on very practical grounds,—that a Germany so short of needed capital at home simply could not afford the unprofitable expense of investment in colon- ies, or even of mandates, were it otherwise feasible. The former German eolonies—for which Germany never showed anything like the British aptitude—were in themselvs a costly burden. This declaration, although only according with the plain factors and necessities of the international situation, marks in spirit a final breach with the aspirations of the old militarstic regime. The ‘place in the sun,” as then con- ceived and threatened, fis frankly relinquished as an ambition. It is another repudiation of the Kaiser who with dream of world intrusion sent the Panther to Agadir in 1911 and fostered the profitless adventures in the far or near Rast and in Africa. Historically Germany came on the scene too late for colonial success of the old type. There is not much scope for it under modern world conditions, even if the map were not already so well partitioned. And Germany's purse today could not stand assuming any “white man’s bur. dens” of dubious profit possibility. An enforced freedom from large army and navy spendings is one of the largest aids to German ability to meet the Dawes Plan require- ments, soon to reach their maximum. German capacity Is left free to do its best—whatever the other handicaps—in trade and merchant ship- ping. And Germany is wholly and doubtless per- manently free from the incubus of colonies, One Germany of of is Prince Rupert Looking Like a City. (Prince Rupert News.) 3 “I was pleaser to be able to pay the extra tax for a new sidewalk opposite my property,” remarked a visitor to the city recently, referring to the section mear Sixth Street on Third Avenue. The extension of the sidewalk work is improving the general appearance of the city. Every day there is a change taking place. Tourists no longer view the streets and walks with amuse- ment and they no longer write to their friends and tell of the curious little fishing town on stilts and plank streets and wooden walks as they did a few years ago. Today we are taking our place as a modern city with modern streets and mod- ern buildings. — Changes Idea on Smith, (New York Times,) Albert. Shaw, editor of the American Review of Reviews, yesterday offered to withdraw his t:(“!m'lu] charge that Gov. Smith, in his modi- fication message to the Houston Convention, had repudiated his party’s Prohibition plank. y The offer wag made to Senator Pittman of Nevada. Chairman of the Committee on Resolu- tions at Houston, who, in a letter to Dr. Shaw, said that the facts did mot support the vharge' and that the platform did not commit the pur(): against attempted modification. —— e The rumor is probably untrue that when Lieutenant Ulysses S.

If father insists the plates be served froms the kitchen when it is a company dinner, it means itl makes him nervous to have every- body watching while he is serving. The more a man boasts out in about the perfect cook and housekeeper his wife is, the safer the bet that he always is finding fault with her around home. Some men are game and to others having their wives suggest a picnic lunch out in the woods instead of Sunday dinner at home is almost pleasant as having the dentist suggest the tooth be pulled instead of trying to save it.
