WE are receiving many letters just now asking us where The Outlook stands politically, and why we don't come out for Hoover or for Smith-as the case may be.

OUR feeling in the matter is that for a journal of this sort, independent and non-partisan, the campaign hasn't developed sufficiently to make it clear that the election of either candidate is necessary to save the Republic from destruction.

WE believe-despite the manly attitude of many of our great newspapers and the efforts of prominent men in both parties that the campaign is going to be an exceedingly bitter, highly emotional one, viciously shot through with prejudice of the most unattractive, deeprooted sort. Men of both parties-with some notable exceptions-may be arguing the issue in print with intellectual clarity and sober sense. But the private discussions we hear partake more of the nature of Kilkenny riots.

IN such a situation, it seems to us that both fair play and good citizenship demand that we pause and take thought. It is true that Governor Smith has come out unequivocally on several of the important issues. But Mr. Hoover has not yet begun to discuss the campaign. And neither candidate has delivered his formal speech of acceptance.

UNDER such circumstances, for a journal of inquiry to close its mind to all further argument and come out for either candidate would be to argue that it had only made a pretense of independent thought. We do not think it wise at this juncture to place ourselves under the necessity of defending every statement a candidate may make or every action he may propose. We doubt whether there exists between the parties any difference essential enough to make it necessary, at this moment, to follow such a course.

So far, only one thing seems clear. If you regard the prohibition issue as paramount and want the Prohibition Law modified, it would be good sense to vote for Governor Smith-always granting that Mr. Hoover doesn't alter his views on the subject, and that you are not by tradition or temperament a member of the Republican Party. Vice-versa, if you want prohibition, as it is, given a better and longer tricl, it would seem reasonable to vote for Mr. Hoover.

r. White's Charges

HE whole Puritan civilization which s built a sturdy, orderly Nation is reatened by Smith."

It is not that Governor Smith is a tholic and wet," Mr. White explains, which makes him an offense to the vilgers and town dwellers, but because 8 record shows the kind of President he uld make a Tammany President. t is a man of unusual intelligence, lendid courage, and a rare political isdom, yet he has a curious record. He is risen on that record to a place of eat power, but chiefly by the aid of ammanies, big or little, in great cities." a review of that record, Mr. White id, according to the Associated Press espatch summarizing an address of his Olathe, Kansas, that Governor Smith ad voted ten times against allowing the eople to vote on any sort of restriction n the sale of liquor, four times against opping gambling and prostitution in onnection with saloons, three times

against repealing the law for keeping the saloons open on Sunday, four times in favor of removing zoning restrictions which would keep open saloons from churches and schools, and three times in favor of laws sponsored by organized gambling associations.

Governor Smith's Reply

WITH promptness and in evident anger, Governor Smith replied to these charges specifically: "Let's just take the worst thing he says: 'Four times in the Legislature Smith voted against stopping gambling and prostitution in connection with

saloons.'

"What kind of a statement is that for a sane person to make? Was there ever any law in this State to let gambling and prostitution go on in a saloon? Was it ever necessary to adopt a bill to stop it?"

The Governor read: "Three times against repealing the law keeping the saloons open on Sunday," and he replied:

"There never was such a bill introduced in this Legislature. How many of you men who have been around here for years ever knew of such a bill of that kind?

"Now he talks about a bill to remove

zoning restrictions which would keep open saloons some distance away from

churches and schools. Here is the story of that: In 1911 the Court of Appeals handed down a decision which, in effect, said that if a saloon and a hotel with a liquor license established itself before a church was built and a church afterward came within 200 feet, that liquor license could not be renewed. That was never intended by the original drafters of the Raines Law. The effect of it would have

been to close up the bar in the Hotel Astor, the Hotel Knickerbocker, and the Waldorf after the hotels had been built

and in operation, provided somebody established a school or church within 200 feet of it. The Court of Appeals in its decision said the Legislature would have to correct it, that they could not have it in any other way, and the Legislature corrected it. That is the story of that."

Governor Smith then read the following from a memorandum: "Three times he voted for laws favored by organized gambling and refused to go on record as voting for a bill against bribing laborunion leaders."

Governor Smith then commented:

"I have no record or anything on it. It must be I was absent. But I understand it was some twenty-four or twentyfive years ago that it happened, and I have no recollection of it.”

He ascribed these charges as having been disseminated by a Rev. O. R. Miller, whom he called, "a parasite living on the people of the State of New York by circularizing false information," and he called him "revered for nothing."

When reminded that these charges were made by William Allen White, the Democratic nominee answered, "He has more brains and ought to know better." Mr. White's Rejoinder

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE denied that he had ever heard of the man Miller, and declared that he had got his information from New York newspapers. Moreover, Mr. White added: "Because Al Smith is smart, because he has brains, because he hates the Volstead Act and the Eighteenth Amendment he is dangerous. He will not wait for a dry Congress. The undertakers are looking wistfully already at three members of the United States Supreme Court, and with Al Smith we should have in that Court as quickly as he could name them three of the most brilliant lawyers from the

seaboard who are big enough to satisfy the Tammany interests. These lawyers would, declare the Eighteenth Amendment unconstitutional before a cat, even such a cat as the tiger cat, could wink her eye. Dry Democrats should not feel safe in the belief that the country is protected with a dry Congress."

This rejoinder brought from Governor Smith the following comment:

"I have said what I have to say; my position is clear; and as far as I am concerned, that is all there is to it.

Reed "Supports the Ticket "

SENATOR JAMES A. REED has had breakfast with Governor Smith and has promised to support the ticket.

"No need asking me that," he told reporters afterward. "Everybody knows I am going to do that."

He was asked for his opinion of Democratic prospects.

"We hope to win," he said. "I do not think the people of this country are ready to elect as President a man who has spent his entire adult life abroad and whose investments and interests are all in Great Britain. He was so close to Great Britain that he was offered the post of Minister of Munitions before this country entered the war. He was also offered a British title. He is a man who came to this country for no other purpose than to beat down farmers' prices, and he has accomplished his purpose."

This kind of talk will make votes, but it will not put them in the Democratic column. Any more of it, and Governor Smith and his friends may rightly ask Reed which ticket he is supporting.

Deuce!

LET the friends of Al Smith be not too fearful, however, of the consequences of Jim Reed's support. The Ku Klux Klan of Alabama seems bent on turning its Republican ballyhoo into good Democratic propaganda.

We quote from a despatch to the New York "World," describing a Birmingham rally at which Governor Smith was lynched in effigy.

"As the dummy was brought in the presiding officer cried, 'What shall we do with him?' There were loud cries of 'Lynch him!'

"A Klan official then cut the dummy's throat with a knife, at the same time pouring mercurochrome down the figure's chest to simulate blood. Revolver shots were fired into the dummy and, with a rope around the neck, it was dragged about the hall, many Klansmen

Paris Divorces

THE French have decided at last to gi some attention to the methods by whic matches made in America are unmade Paris. The Ministry of Justice has a proved a request for disciplinary acti against Judge Grenet, vice-president the so-called divorce court, seven Frend attorneys, a bailiff, and two clerks.

At the same time, it is promised, records of every divorce granted duri the past two years will be investigate but while this may disclose plenty of dence of unethical practices, divor persons are told not to fear that the decrees will be declared void.

Whatever the outcome of the tri and investigations, it is believed that t divorce mill will not grind so swi again for those impetuous Americans The motive for this action is not a parent at the moment. The correspo dent of the New York "Times" says "comes to climax years of determin effort on the part of the French Minis of Justice to put an end to abus through which wealthy Americans ha been exploiting the French courts as quick and easy means of evading con quences, inconveniences, and delays divorce laws in their own country."

What Kind of Conference?

By his statement that, if elected Pr dent, he will immediately call a con ence of agricultural leaders to assist in preparing a definite program for fa relief Governor Smith has placed agricultural question practically al side the prohibition question as an iss in the campaign.
