And in this case as in all similiar emergencies the important thing is to give quickly A BETLESS CAMPAIGN. Late New York newspapers comment on the lack of betting on the results of the Presidential The New York Times of September 5 Wall Street that had campaign discloses less than that far been rt of that due, of course, the circumstance that the New York Stock Exchange has forbid betting and put the old betting commis- sioners as an Exchange adjunct out of business. A report comes from Chicago that $300,000 was put up with betting eommissioner there to be placed at odds of two to one that Hoover would win. It was quickly taken. Another| individual had placed with the same commissioner $16,000 to bet $10,000 that Gov. Smith would carry Chicago and 000 to bet at even| money that Gov. Smith would carry Cook County Neither offer had been taken. The ) York Times of September 5 contain-| ed the following in a box on its front page, under g, “Election Bets at Low Mark": This probably wiil go down in politi says a canvass of in $10,000 actual bets made is to a against ew story the headin cal history as the “betless election.” So far anvass of Wall Street discloses, less than $10,000 in actual bets have been made, most of them, it is said, on the basis of 2 to 1 on Mr. Hoover's chances. All of the bets thus made are between individuals and are private, since the Exchanges will not permit member firms to ma change floors or ke wagers on the Ex- become stakeholders, Probab most of the bets to be made this year will be freak wagers, and should Governor Smith lose, any num- ber of brown derbies will be worn for the next few months in the financial district The high mark in election betting was reached in the Wilson-Hughes cam- paign, when it was estimated that no less than $10,000,000 changed hands, most of it through Wall Street comm sioners. They were aided by daily “odds™ which they quoted and which were printed in the newspapers. These so- called odds are no longer printed. Prac- tically all the commissioners are now out of business, however, and there organized betting on the outcome. is no BASEBALL BECOMING THRILLING. Contrary to the indications early in the season it has been evident for that we are in for sensational the pennants in the major baseball leagues this month. In both the American and National Leagues the leading teams are so close together that almost any day| is likely to see the standing changed In the American League, where it 80 long that the New York Yanke would have another one of their walk-away seasons, the Phila-| delphia Athletics came up from behind and have been hanging right on the heels of the Yankees for days. Last night the Yankees were just one game ahead of the Athletics in the riting race. Their lead has been as low as half a game. Unlike the where the is between just sometime now races for looked for American League, two teams race are three close there contesants with a fouth within reach in the Na- tional League. The St. Louis Cardinals are two games ahead of the New York Giants and the latter are one half game ahead of the Chicago Cubs. The Pittsburgh Pirates half games behind the Cubs are three and a There is nothing like close pennant races to make baseball thrilling and to stir up active interest in the World Series.

Any informed person is aware that there are thousands of so-called ‘‘speakeasies” in Iowa There is scarcely am incorporated town in the State which does not have one or more places in which illicit liquor can be purchased at ‘‘boot- leg” prices Des Moines has its share of such places and so has Sioux City. It could not be far wrong, just on a rough guess, to state that the principal of Towa in proportion to popu- lation ‘have about as many illicit liquor joints as New York City. These lowa conditions are not matters for pride or boasting, manifestly, but they should est a certain amount of humility as to eriti- the Nation's metropolis on this particular There is little disposition, here in Iowa, the State’s Governor responsible for the conditions commonly known to exist. It is as- sumed that he expects the duly constituted authorities to perform their duties and may even believe that they are doing so. It is not humanly possible for the Governor of any State to give personal attention to such details, even if his office involved police jurisdictiom over the various municipalities. Taking it cities sug cising subject to hold granted that Cartoonist “Ding” has average knowlecgs as to conditions in Iowa, it is rather surprising to see him treat the “speakeasy” as peculiar to New York City, and as reflecting on New York’s Governor. Do the ‘speakeasies” in Des Moines reflect on Iowa's Governor? Do the “speakeasies’” in Chicago re- flect on the Republican Governor of Illinois? Do the “speakeasies” in Omaha reflect on the Repub- lican Governor of Nebraska? These illicit liquor joints exist in all of the Middle Western States. Informal testimony during the Republican Na- tional Convention reported hundreds of them in Kansas City. Those who have a desire to be either prac- tical or honest toward the problem of illict liquor in this country make no pretense that the problem is confined to New York City or New York State. As a believer in the ultimate benefits of prohibition, if properly administered, | this newspaper is firmly convinced that the friends of the cause need to be both practical and honest. Nothing is to be gained, certainly, from deliberate blindness toward actual condi- tions or through trying to localize abuses which plainly are nationl in scope. There is not as much liquor consumed in the United States now as before prohibition, as we view it, but there is considerable doubt about New York City or New York State doing any more flouting or prohibitory regulations in pro- portion to population than California, the District of Columbia or States and cities of the Middle West, Neither the submarine nor the dirigible has appealed to the popular imagination as anything more than a wonderful piece of machinery—if it works. —(Washington Star.) It isn’t so much what the Democrats and the Republicans get off their chest as what they get into it that counts this year. (Des Moines Register.)
