WET AND DRY— Though the elections of last week were in no sense decisive on the wet and dry question, each side having met with victory, and each with defeat, they do pent to the probability of a nation-wide struggle over that question as the issue. Indeed, it Is hard to see how such a contest can be avoided. Even now both sides are. in the militant language of the dispatches, "girding themselves for the fray." Lines, where weak, are being strengthened, and reserves are being brought up. Indeed the wet and dry issue may, as Bryan used to say, be "paramount.” Politicians may not be pleased with the outlook, for from now on they twill find side-stepping less easy than it has heretofore been. If developments are such as they seem likely to be, it will be impossible for a man to be both wet and dry, or neither wet nor dry, for it will be necessary to take sides, and that is sometimes extremely embarrassing to candidates. Thus much may at least be said, and that is that the issue will be a real one, very much alive, one in which the people are interested, and on which they would vote in large numbers. That would be a great gain. There may be some difficulty in framing the issue, and political leaders. with a presidency at stake, will be disposed to be as careful as possible. Os course, the real controversy is between those who favor and those who oppose national prohibition—that is. it is over the Eighteenth amend- I ment. However, we are not now concerned with what may be in the ' future, hot wi'h what now is—that is • —-■—testing on. Both sides profess to be encouraged by the results of last i week's elections. If that is so both will be heartened for the struggle It looks as though in the days ahead there would be plenty of good fight ing. One thing is fairly clear, and that is that many people do not regard present arrangements as definitely fixed and established. — Indianapolis News. Seventeen years ago Orville Wright sold his first airplane to' the United State government. Last year the American aircraft industry turned out" products to a tolal value of 312,277,000. This growth is significant, according to the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for Promotion of Aeronautics, which points out that present activity in the construction of aircraft repre seats peace time development without the abnormal stimulus of war activity. Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge have compromised by agreeing to tax reduction but not retro active. That won't be so bad if they make the reduction what it ought to be so that the fellow who works his head off tp get a few dollars won t h 'vc to pay it out immediately. Os t .i e the war debt has to be paid but it may be better for the future if we don't try to get rid of it too suddenly. Congress will try to pass a bill limiting campaign expenditures in primaries Wonder just how they will arrft-e at what that ought to be in the various states. In some the I andtdates spent less than a thousand dollars while in others they spent railljons in each case the claim is that the amount expended was

i absolutely necessary. ; No question is more important these ( days than that of roads and this com munity, particularly those people living along the route between here and Monroe should be awake to the oppor-, tunity to now secure the first permanent improvement. The road is a (state and federal highway and is sure to become a leading artery for traffic tin the years to com*. The latest feature in New Y’ork is a mirror floor In the new milllon-dol-lar club and surprising as it may seem It was patronized on the opening night by the reckless 400 and more who apparently did not object to exhibiting right side and up side-down at the same time. Candidates in the recent election should remember that they must file their expense accounts before December 2nd. Local candidates must file with the clerk of the court and this should not be overlooked. This is a fine time to start your Christmas shopping. A few gifts put aside each week will make your task lighter and you have the advantage of the early selection. Don’t wait until the last week or two. ~i. •••-e Kain end sleet and snow, regular November weather forecasting the fact that winter is near. —o »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ OF RADIO ♦ * BIG FEATURES * >♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Wednesday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1926 by The U.
