In signed state- Mr. Hapgood said What Woodrow Wilson thought about the present liquor situation would in- terest many persons, w it known It is, of course, a familiar fact that he vetoed the Volstead Act, and it has been confidently stated that he prepared light wine and beer plank for the con vention of 1916, which was not pre- sented. Be that it may, he wrote out carefully, in 1924, his vi of what ought to be done, in the predicament as it was then and is now; and I have just been reading his statement. It was written, he said in passing, after he had been over the matter with high judicial authority there in country. He points out that when the amend- ment gives concurrent jurisdiction it invitet both the Federal Government and the States to accept responsibility for ng out the amendment. He then raises the question of what part of it the Federal Government ought to take for itself, and argues emphatically that it ought to undertake no more than the prevention of importation from abroad and of transmission from one State to another. So much, a he points out, will call for more m y than is likely to be appropriated, if it is done well. Moreover, he gives a reason that goes turther. He declares that it is unwhole- some for the Federal Government to take away the responsibility placed on the States by the amendment, and urges that the whole health of our system of government is bound up with the sys- tm of divided responsibility., On that principle, he goes on, the only sound course is to leave the situation inside of a State to the inhabitants of that State, to carry out or neglect, as they may please, the mandate given to them by the amendment who on recently ment, a as as a as is the TAKING IN TOO MUCH TERRITORY. The leaders of Middle Western agri- culture have told the world who is the friend of the American farmer and who are his enemies. Meeting at Des Moines on August 31, the Corn Belt Committee, speaking for a milllion and a half Mid- dle Western farmers, indorsed Governor Smith, Democrat, candidate for Presi- dent, and condemned Herbert Hoover, This committee is composed of the lead- ers of 32 farm organizations in 14 Mid- dle Western States.— (News Item.) It is taking in a lot of territory to say that the Corn Belt Committee spoke for a ‘‘million and a halt” It much like those church people at Houston who spoke for millions of Methodists and millions of Baptists. It is possible they thought when they were down there in the middle of the fight. But the num- ber of Methodists and Baptis that refused to break with their party and have fallen into line behind Smith and Robinson makes it plain that they were mistaken ' It always turns out as brilliant a speaker as she is beautiful, who spoke for the mothers and Methodists of the South and who approved the sentiment of a speak- er that had preceded her andl claimed to speak for twelve million Christian mothers, is one of the leaders in oragnizing Dixie women for Smith and Robinson. s 8o it will probably be when the Corn Belt Committee gets back home. It is likely to dis- cover a lot of those millicn and a half farmers to be Republicans still and supporting Mr. Hoover. If the Corn Belt Committee were certainly correct in its estimate then there would be no need for Gov. Smith to go to Omaha. He would need only to wait at Albany for the counting of the votes. DR. VAN DYKE FOR SMITH.

Air- planes are used to transport not only mail and passengers, but also heavier kinds of freight than usually are sent by air in the United States. Much of the fur catch this year will be sent overland by plane. Much of the rough and un- explored interior has been mapped by aerial photography by airmen employed by the United States Geographical Survey. Flying sometimes is thought of as a hazardous means of travel Alaskans, familiar with the risks of the long trek through wild and rough country, laugh at that There never has been a fatal airplane accident in Alaska. (St. Paul 61 years ernment, more or When Kindliness of the Police. X (New York World.) Sometimes fiction stories come true. For ex- ample, down at Atlantic City the other day. At Headquarters there the police were having a little problem. They had locked the big safe contain- ing bail money, records and everything needed for the opening of court the next morning, and they had the bad judgment to lock up the com- bination too. That was the state of affairs when a shabbily dressed man appeared and asked for a place to sleep. Nobody paid much attention to him. But when he stepped up, after listening to the com- motion a while, and offered .to open the safe he got attention aplenty. He took a piece of sand- paper, rubbed his finger tips with it to make them sensitive to the fall of tumblers, and went to work. In a few minutes he opened the safe. It speaks volumes for the essential kindness of police, it seems to us, that they bedded this man down in the best that they had, fed him royally, went out and found him a job pushing a wheel-chair, and then—refused to give the reporters his name. ature’s Beauty.
