While it has taken two campaigns to accomplish it, North Carolina is wet at last. Two years ago the Democrats of that State defeated the veteran Senator F. M. Simmons for renomination because he had refused to support Alfred E. Smith in 1928, declaring that Smith was too wet. His oppon- Senator Bailey, got the support of the wets, though he declared that he was a dry. This year Robert Reynolds, an outright wet, has defeated Senator Cameron Morrison, stanch dry, for renom- ination. Reynolds favors the repeal of the Eigh- teenth Amendment. Now Republican leaders declare that the Re- publican National platform will contain a resubmis- sion plank—according to dry standards, a wet plank. Prohibition is on the rocks. ent, GOVERNOR AND FORMER GOVERNOR NOT SO FAR APART. President Hoover declared “in angry tone” that the Garner relief bill is a “pork barrel” measure. Speaker Garner retorted that the “pork barrel” charge came from President Hoover with poor grace after he had demanded that Congress co-operate | with him in passing the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act. The Speaker continued to say that it is just as logical to refer to that act as a “pork barrel” for banks, insurance companies and others | as to refer to the Garner relief bill as a ‘“pork barrel.” The Speaker seems to endorse the contention of | Gov. Roosevelt that the President’s relief proposals were in the direct interest of big fellows rather than the common people—a contention that roused the ire of Al Smith. And that suggests, the Garner relief measure follows closely suggestions of the redoubtable Al. It is possible that the difference between the Governor of New York and his pre- decessor is not so great after all. The fact is that neither Gov. Roosevelt nor Speaker Garner condemned the Reconstruction Finance Corporation legislation. It was necessary legislation, no doubt, but they both belive that it was not enough. The banks had be allowed to thaw out frozen assets to prevent them from going further in the mire and to enable them to be use- ful to the public. However, immediate help is nezded at the bottom to put the “forgotten men” to work at once. That is why Gov. Roosevelt, Al Smith and Speaker Garner want more direct help for the unemployment situation. HARD TIMES CAUSE CHANGE OF ATTITUDE. The need for revenue is causing many politicians to have a changed attitude toward Prohibition. In 1920, 1924 and 1928 the country was prosperous and the income increasing at a such a rate that one of the perplexities of Congress was to figure out equitable tax reduction. In those days the country could afford to indulge whims and prejudices of | that if people wished to avoid their anathema. The poli- ticians with impunity appropriated money out of the plethoric treasury to keep the Prohibition unit in the field, notwithstanding its lack of effective- ness, just to satisfy the conceit of the fanatics who hugged the delusion that they were fighting the devil alcohol. Now, however, the situation is changed. The budget must be balanced. That necessitates both curtailment of appropriations and an increase of revenues. Naturally, business sense suggests reliev- ing the Government of Prohibition unit, police, court, prison and other costs, in the impossible effort to enforce the dry laws, and to increase revenues by taxing a legalized liquor traffic under protective regulations. We have the liquor traffic it is, and without safeguards, under circumstances count for lawlessness, crime, immorality, etc., and the profits go to bootleggers and illicit distillers. A leading authority says a war would terminate the depression and bring prosperity. Why? Be- cause it would put peopls to work. Why not put the people to work without the war? Let them| do something beneficial that we could use in time of peace and do away with the wounded, shell| shocked, pensions and other after-war impedimenta. The Republican Senate made short shrift of the Republican President’s personally delivered urge that it pass a manufacturers’.sales tax measure. It was defeated without debate in Senator Smoot’s Finance Committee. However, the Democratic House had similarly treated a similar measure earlier in the s With His Comrades. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The remains of Colonel Robert Green Ingersoll just have been borne to a fitting place in beautiful Arlington, to lie with his comrades of other days in the National necropolis. There may be those who will take issue with Colonel Ingersoll's “Mistakes of Moses,” but none will deny his distinction as a soldier, as a lawyer, his elogquence generally, his wit—caustic or kindly— or the force, beauty and idealism of what, perhaps, is entitled to be known as the greatest speech of its kind ever delivered. It was Colonel Ingersoll's Cincinnati speech at the Republican National Convention held in this city in 1876, nominating James G. Blaine for Presi- dent, that much extended the orator's fame, mak-; ing him instantly the idol of millions. It was a| matchless effort. It will outlive his “Mistakes of Moses"—will be recalled so long as Presidents are to be nominated in America. Idealist to the core, the great orator here in Cincinnati christentd his hero as the “plumed knight.” On Ingersoll's golden tongue, Blaine rode down the lists of a great political tourney “wear- ing the whole flower of a blameless life.” In his day Ingersoll was anathema to orthodox| multitudes, but today he perhaps would be wel- comed in many pulpits, where many other men now exploit views as critical and revolutionary as those of the soldier-orator. In any event, Cincinnati can well afford to drop a flower of memory for one who immutably identified this city with one of his outstanding achievements in the way of speech portrayal. A Dangerous Situation. (Manchester Guardian.) At a time when a seasonal rise in employment should be shownig itself, it is very disappointing to find from the latest returns of the Ministry of Labor that in the month ending April 25 the num- ber of unemployed increased by 84,849. The disap- pointment is perhaps felt most keen ly by those sanguine Protectionists who have been telling us that tariffs at their very advent had stimulated trade and industry. In Germany during the same period the number of the unemployed slightly de- clined. There are no signs of any alleviation of the position in the United States. Mr. E. F. Mc- Grady, of the American Federation of Labor, has just warned the Senate Commission that if some- thing is not done to check the advance of starva- tion, “the doors of revolution are going to be thrown wide open.” The dangers of the situation which exists in almost every country of the world are illustrated this week by a small uprising in Yugo-Slavia. Two thousand hungry peasants from the villages of Bosnia raided wheat and maize stores in the town of Brijedor. The police had to repulse them with fixed bayonets.

She intends to work while he re- covers from an accident, and has persuaded her cousin Jen- ny to pretend to be Eddie’s wife, because her employer, ' weuld discharge Georgie if he knew she was married. CHAPTER 31. HAGGLING OVER MARRIAGE “I do love you,”,Georgie mut- tered. Tt was as though she. were protesting them both, by saying it “Jenny was sure you did,” agreed Eddie. He seemed to accept Jen- ny as an authority on the matter, and for once Georgie felt to twinge of jealousy. She was relieved to find him so—so simple. No half- truths ever with Eddie. Black or white, yes or no; take it or leave it. “It's simply and solely a matter of money,” she blurted out. “You may say that we shan't have very much less, even if you can’t fly any more. But supposing that lit- tle bit less just turns being hard up into being downright poor? Suppose it means that we can never take any risk or meet any adventure? We wouldn’t go on loving, Ed. T've seen big money at close quanters and T know what it can do.” “It cant buy happiness.” “No, but it can buy freedom.” “Of a kind.” “It’s the kind T mean then.” “What are you trying to tell me, girl?” “That I love you. That T'll give up my job to make a home for you, bnt not yet.” “When?” “When my savings are enough to make the difference between slavery and freedom. I mean a| reasonable freedom, Ed. I'm not thinking any more of dinners and dances. I swear I'm not. I'm net thinking of the kind of life that will keep us in love wtih each other, I—I want to be kept in love with you, always.” Eddie was lookiing anxiously at her. For all his simplicity, for all his take-it-or-leave-it direct- ness, he was looking at her as though he understood her better than she dared to understand her- self. “What—what is it, Ed dear?” He roused himself and turned abruptly away. “It's nothing—I was just think- ing about what you've said. About what I suppose you'd call your point of view. T'd better be getting started along, I think.” “Back to the crazy little room of yours?” Georgie laughed *shak- ily. “I don't see why! Jenny can lodge there, if she doesn't want to stay at a hotel, and you can have your room here, as we had planned at first. T've squared Gill and— if people think you married the other Miss Revell, well, Jenny doesn’t really mind. It's a very convenient thing for them to think.” She came close to him as he stood with one hand on the door; she slipped her white strong arms up his shoulders. “Don’t go,” she whispered. His arms went around her and I—" She had been going to say that that was why she had bought clothes and furniture, in her wild extravagance. She changed it to “That's why we got married on Saturday, surely! And we can have longer than a week, now. We can have as long as we like—the whole year!” “You don't know me very well, do you Georgie?"” “Seems not!” (He was really going, apparently; he was staring back at her from the threshold.) “I—I honestly can't grasp why you should object to staying here—you needn't be my guest—oh, Eddie, aren’t each other for a year?” “Not unless you send me word that you've given up your job. Jenny will know where to find me —I'l keep in touch with little Jen. You can't have everything you door of the apartment. It was not until the sound of his footsteps had quite died away that she remembered that he had said—“Jenny comes for me every morning and returns with me ev- ery night.” The little battered clock was nearing tén, but thers was as yet no Jenny and Eddie had gone back to his ridiculous room alone. Georgie's hot deep color drained her face at her own forgetfulness. Someone ought to have gone with him—she herself ought to have gone with him. She started for- ward and ran to the door of the apartment, then out to the land- ing. well, hecause he might be stop- ping to talk for a few moments with Gill. But there was no sound of Ed- die's voice and she could just glimpse Gill lounging in the door- way of the building. She went back into the kitchen and tidied and washed up and took off Jenny's overall and went back to her own bedroom. The trusseau in the cupboard, she real- ly“ought to try it on, see if alter- ations were needed. It was ab- surd to own @ cupboard full of heavenly clothes and not even know them by sight! She pulled open the wardrobe door and began to draw the lovely, scented things up and down the rail on which they hung. How costly they looked! The check she had given for them appeared small when she remembered the sum still to be paid. And she had noth- ing at all to her credit in the ‘bank; it would be months before she could have anything. As for savings she had sopken of so em- phatically— Standing there, fingering the beautiful clothes her vanity had craved she began to suspect that she had been a fool with her mon- ey. Perhaps now she was being a fool about Eddie as well. Per- he held her for & moment in the embrace she loved; roughly keep- ing her against him when she would have moved away, roughly kissing her lips and her closed eyes. She was deaf to the hurry- ing stammer of the lttle clock; time was efernity, anyway, and all the old thrill and the old longing were flooding back into her heart. Then [Eddie pushed her aws,y] and she saw again the strange, considering look that wasn't a bit like Eddie. haps he was right and in the end she would get nothing.... She slammed the wardrobe shut and made for the living room. If Jen- ny, didn’t come in soon, she would ring up Vale and see whether he would not take her somewhere and dance. Jenny, sitting very straight in Grafton Matching’s great black car saw Eddie at the corner of Eyle Street. < The car had slowed at the cor- “I'm going,” he said, “and never you mind where. Let’s call it Mexico, and let's say I shall be there for a year. At the end of the year, I'll be back from where- ever it is—say, Mexico—and we'll see what all this saving and work- ing of yours has led to. It's what we should have done if I hadn't gone through that windshield and it's what we'll do now.” She had won, all aiong the line! Or—or hadn't she? “No, but Eddie, we were to have been together here for a week be- fore you went away; That's why GETTING ALONG ner and waited the policeman’s permission to turn into Eyle street; the policeman, a friend of Jenny's and’ Eddie’s, was trying to induce Bddie to cross. “Come on now, sir,” he called persuasively. “Here’s a clear little bit of road and all you go to do is to hop across it.” But Eddie’s nerves had hopelessly -departed. He leaned against a building and Jen- ny could see him shake his head, trying to grin. She had half-opened the door of the car before she remembered the speaking tube. Then—'T will we actually going to see, want you know, girl, even if you| She leaned far out over the; get out here, please,” she directed hurriedly and, while the astonished chauffeur descended and moved to herself out of the opposite one and in a twinkling had Edde’ RITIILS bt & Wi Blomgren Building | g .
