Schrock who has just return-: L ed from a several weeks business trip . through the east, brought with him a , copy of the Syracuse, N. Y. Herald I which describes at length, with, photos, the late summer Dollar Day : held in that city and which Will says was the most successful of its kind he has ever had called to his attention. Sales for one day in that city total- I ed more than two million dollars and i every store was crowded. Various stores arranged windows which were covered with curtains until 9 o'clock I on the morning of tire opening. The band paraded the streets and at the fixed hour every curtain dropped and the sale was on. Speaking of the | event, the Herald said editorially: “Syracuse has celebrated once more its late summer holiday—dollar day. It was an experiment when our retail merchants undertook to set apart a day common to most of them for clearance, for disposing of a large volume of goods at small prices, for marking at one dollar what was clearly a bargain at that figure. Dollar day is an experiment no longer. The newspapers have carried the announcement of dollar day sales for a great variety of merchandise. There is no department of retail merchandizing which has not been touched. There is no important retail store that has not made attractive offers. We need not the testimony of store managers or clerks to know the stores have been busy, altho we have that testimony. The streets and shops were so busy that downtown Syracuse streets looked as populous as on any day of state fair week, and the stores a great deal more populous and busy. It has come about that a public holiday is a dull day in town, excepting at the movie houses. Dollar day is not a holiday. It does not at all resemble a holiday. It is a continuously busy day: for those who come to buy come in vast numbers; and they come at all hours. Dollar day has been a great success. Gov. Smith's speech on the power question before an immense audience in Denver Saturday night was in his best and most effective manner. There is no question before the public of more far-reaching significance, nor one that strikes deeper into the economic interests of the people now and for generations to come. If this is not appreciated by the masses of the people, so much the worse for them. That it is appreciated by the private interests that are seeking to seize upon the nation's power sites to the end that they may make billions through the exploitation of the consumers of power is impressively demonstrated by the disclosures of the investigation now being conducted by the federal trade commission. On this subject there must be plain speaking. Mr. Hoover's failure to so much as mention the subject in his speech of* acceptance carries its reverberations. The fact that he was literally forced to attempt a correction of that strange blunder at Los Angeles a few days later is Indicative of his attitude. And the character of his comment in this brief taik Indicates that he is more concerned with the concealment of his position and purpose than In their exposition.— New York World.

— , TODAY’S CHUCKLE Mt. Clemens, Mioh., Sept 26 — (U.R>— The judges couldn't decide so they gave the State Fair baby con- , i teat prizes to both Joyce Marie .: and Gloria Ann Downing—twins. ; _____________ ______ 1 Governor Alfred E. Smith Is not ' afraid to speak out and that fact is ; winning for him many friends every ''where he speaks and throughout the 1 , i country as well. in his Helena ' speech Monday night he assailed th< ii G. O. P. record of scandal in plain language and why should he not? Mr ' Hoover who is now a candidate sal : by and watched all the proceedings of the last two administrations and tc say that the party in power is not responsible for it is a new precedent. ' Governor Smith believes that "public | office is a public trust” and his record proves it. BL-L-'i "■-! 1 -I-'-— Numerous demands are being made I that Mrs. Willebrandt resign as deputy attorney general of the United States and that she quit making republican speeches. Strange to say the complaints come from wets and drys alike. A Wisconsin leader demands that she quit the stump and Dr. Shumaker of Indiana insists she is unfit to serve as an official because of her authorization of the use of bootleg whiskey for the Florida sufferers. She will talk herself into serious 1 trouble before she gets through with it. If they let Loeb and Leopold out of the Illinois state prison on an error as now seems probable, it would be wise for those young men to hasten right on through to the coast and take a boat for some foreign land. To stay here would surely bring troubles and plenty of them and the board ,of pardons will be taking a serious chance if they thus give these men the advantage of an error or a supposed technicality. Every dollar given to the Red Cross fund at this time will go for the aid of the unfortunate people down in Florida. They have suffered greatly Just how much cannot yet be told for the waters are receding slowly but it is known that loss of life has been terrible and that thousands of survivors are suffering from influenza, pneumonia and other ailments. Give some thing to the fund. This is no time for a candidate to lose his voice and the fact that Mr. Curtis feels his slipping will be regretted by Governor Smith and others who were finding some thing in each speech the senator made to come back on. Mr. Curtis has made several "bad breaks” in the campaign. Sir Horace Darwin, 77, son of the Darwin of "monkey” fame, who spent a life time in arguing that we descended from the animals who hang on trees by their tails, is dead. Now what we want to know is whether under their logic he goes back to join the jungle tribe. Snow is not exactly unheard of foi September but is most unwelcome. II makes it too long a winter, but per haps after this a little flurry we may get some real autumu for a number of weeks. You just can't tell about it In this section any more. The cool weather is certainly slow ing up the golf business and several of the boys are complaining that their game has been ruined. They may come back however if old Sol gets friendly again. You are invited to come up to demo cratic headquarters any time. Eact evening you will find a crowd enjoy ing the radio or discussing the cam paign. Every body welcome.
