That is the only stand the convention could have taken and keep in line with the Democratic Party's traditions. It is right and proper that it should at this time dge itself to restore to the States the power which was stripped from them when the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect more than 12 years ago. If any State desires to manufacture and sale of liquor, it ought to do so without hindrance from permit the to have the rigl any other te that desires to prohibit the manu- facture and sale. And the same is true of the States that desire to prohibit it. That is what the plank adopted by the convention pledges the party to bring abi And it demands that the Federal Government effectively protect the Dry States against importation of contraband liquors across its borders from their Wet The convention went wise in declaring for the “enactment of such meas- ures by the several States as will actually promote temperance and effectively prevent the return of the neighbors. one step further. It was saloon, and bring the liquor traffic into the open under a complete supervision and control by the States.” There is nothing in this like the shine” hokum incorporated into the Republican plat- form about preserving the gains already made under Prohibition. If any State wants to restore the salcon, declares the Democratic platform in effect, that is its own business and not any concern of the Federal Government. As a national entity, the Democratic Party pledges itself to endeavor to induce the several States to legislate against the return of the saloon, but if any decide to license saloons, the party recognizes their right to do so without Federal interference. This is the plank that Dr. Nicholas Murray | Butler and Senator Hiram Bingham fought so val- iantly to have incorporated by the Republican Con- vention in its platform, and which was defeated by @ narrow margin out of party loyalty to President Hoover who rejected it in favor of the looking-both- ways abomination that was finally adopted and has been unqualifiedly condemned by thousands of members of that party, both Wet and Dry, as a political expedient to trap the votes of both sides.

A Breathless Moment. (New York Herald Tribune.) Senator Borah crawled away out on the end of the limb yesterday and, to the horror of his admir- ing audience, started to saw right through it. As a dauntless dry he damned the Chicago platform up and down and announced that could not and would not support Mr. Hoover. Mean- time, the battling Democrats have already made it | clear that they intend to adopt a plank at least as wet as the Republican plank and maybe wetter. At the end of his speech, Mr. Borah seemed certain may be said to those loyal Borahite ering their eyes who are cov- they see the limb break and their hero crash into a third party. to be a man without a party within a few short| days. | There is one cheering thought, however, which | | lest He has never crashed yet.

P. doings at Chicago might have inspired anybody. Nevertheless, we think there have been two or three “sparkles” in the comment specially worthy to go on sparkling. For instance: The Republican Herald Tribune's editorial query about Senator Dickinson’s keynote speech: “Is it a wreath of eloquence surrounding a great silence?” The Hoover Prohibition plank aestheticized by Edwin C. Hill of the Sun: “A lily, gemmed with dew.” And Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler’s superb, defini- tive studbook placing of the same critter: “Sired by Muddlehead out of Cowardice.” These are but few of many, but they are good.
