More often than not, how-

victed by a jury in order to ac-
quit those who are on trial.
In case after case, the char-

been shredded in order to lay a
predicate for turning murderers
free. That is not due process of
law. No jury has a right to say
bootleggers are bootleggers un-
less they are on trial, or have
been convicted. No jury has the
right to acquit men of crimes
because It "believes” that their

HEYWOOD BROUN, the columnist, once re-
Ll marked that he never could see 'he trag-

"Romeo and Juliet,” in which the hero and
heroine merely die," ,
His comment was that if he wore to write
the play to suit his idea of tragedy he would
show Romeo and Juliet in-their classic balcony
love moments. And then, in the last act, he
would show them a couple of dozen years
later. Romen would be no longer young and
handsome, and Juliet would be getting fat, and
her hair -would be graying.
Romeo would be making his love plea
again, his voice wekening a hit. And, in the
midst of it, Juliet,would yawn.
And that, said Broun, would be tragedy.

The Idea that we can get an
accurate referendum on prohi-

issue, by voting for candidates,
is absurd. In the first place,
there are other questions to be '
considered, and in the second,
there are the candidates them-

Even fanatical wets and drys

for a weak candidate simply
because he agrees with them on

Needs Be an Also-Ran
"Le Temps” of Paris said Hoover is "an
example of the American realist and organ- -
izer, with profound knowledge of the world's
needs and a very definite feeling of the eco-
nomic solidarity of all nations.” "Le Matin”
of Paris similarly praises him.
The "Frankfurter Zeitung" finds Hoover
•>'a man of superior qualities” and demon-
strated ability. "Hoover has proved his worth,”
comments the “Neu Freic Presse" of Vienna.
The "Journal de Geneve" finds cause for grati-
fication that a man whoknows Europe and-
Understands her needs may enter the White
House.
We are inclined to doubt the'view of- Will-
cox that the opinion of Europe may have an
appreciable effect on the election here. Never-
theless, it speaks well for Hoover that he en-
joys the respect and confidence of our former
allies and enemies alike.

there is nothing but praise for
