GOVERNOR SMITH When Governor Alfred E. Smith goes out of office Jan. 1, the state of New York and the nation will lose one of the groat. He is great in heart and mind. He is great in fidelity to the common people. His greatness will grow In the estimate of the country as campaign pas sions cool. Those who have hated him for his church will come to respect him for simple loyalty to his re lig : Ur ' Mi. which has strengthened him in long public service. The Catholic church cannot give too many such sons to the nation. Nor can that church have a better missionary for the civic virtue of its creed. His service Is sufficient answer to those who question the Americanism of his fellow believers. He has given himself to public labor for a quarter century. In all those years as a municipal official, leg islator and state executive, he has been almost without exception a leader of the people and champion of their rights. His reward is the richest that can come to any man— the confidence and affection of the people. That confidence and affection is not dimmed by his election defeat in New York

and in the nation. Smith received the largest, popular | vote ever given a candidate of hisj party. In the percentage of popular j votis with the exception of 1916, his, defeat was by the narrowest margin j in twenty-years. This was despite the fact that his handicaps as a candidate were perhaps more powerful than any presidential candidate ever has hint. He had a minority party and that divided against itself; he had a min-I ority issue in prohibition modiflea-1 tion; he had an opponent of almost | unique popularity, riding a wave of I national prosperity; he had the mark of a church which ha.- helped build America under a Constitution ot j religious equality, but which Is pro-1 scribed by millions of voters. When 14,000,000 Americans rotej for such a man for President, it is an : earnest of the tolerance of the nation and of the power of that man. We record this as among those who 1 chose Hoover us even better fitted for the presidency, but who never have; doubted that Smith would have servj ed the nation with distinction and | honor. As Lincoln represented an earlier rural American so Smith in a sense is a symbol of the newer coming Amer j ica of the immigrant and of the city. ! American public life will be poorer without the gallantry, the color, the j wisdom and the lonely honesty which j have been the secret of his power. We wish for Alfred E. Smith long! life and happiness when he takes his j post as a high private in the ranks of American democracy,— Indiana- j polis Times.

GRANADA “The Big Killing” With Berry and Hatton Supporting Wallace Berry and Raymond Hatton in “The Big Killing” now showing at the Granada is Mary Brian as the daughter of the Beagles, a mountain family, who have been engaged in feud wars with the Hicks family. Mary Brian falls in | love with the son of the Hicks fami ily, which renews the feud wars, when she is discovered kissing her lover. Berry and Hatton as Powderhorn Pete and Dead-eye Dan, are hired to kill the Beagles. They think the Beagles are dogs but when they find that they are seven husky mountaineers, it’s time to escape. Through a ruse, Dan and Pete get the Beagles and the Hicks into the Hicks’ cellar and lock them in. Then the boys send for the parson and, standing on the trap door leading to the cellar, while the imprisoned feudists battle to free themselves, they witness the marriage of the youthful lovers. The wedding ends the feud but Dan and Pete have to make a break for their lives.

VONCASTLE Buster Keaton in u , ir . ,Thc t'ameraman’’ Buster Keaton is to be seen today and tomorrow at the Voncastle in “The Cameraman,” in which is staged a sensational tong war, with more than five hundred actors as pearing as high binders in a battle on a China-town and their tong war is up-to-date in Chicago style, with machine guns introduced. Keaton is seen as an apprentice cameraman in a series of wild and comical a<1\en. tures and troubles in New York. Ha falls in love with a pretty stenographer, Marceline Day, who accompanies another cameraman, and decides he’ll make good and win the girl. She tips him to a scoop. He reaches the scene, cranks on the fight and returns to the newsreel office to find that he has no film in his camera and is thrown out in disgrace. Next time he tries his luck at a boat race a girl who has fallen overboard, and also films a smash-up of two boats—and then finds he has the Chinatown film too. This wins for him a job and also the girl.

ARTICLE No. 21

Good “Card Manners" should lie ■ cultivated by every card player, not I only because they make the game more pleasant but also bri ause thev are a winning proposition. A player has a much better cnanre to win with a partner l who is satisfied and happy than with ! one who is upset by constant and un1 pleasant criticism. Try it out and you I will hr surprised at the good results, i One player in particular oi the writer’s acquaintance has perfect card niamirrs: He makes every bid in the i same even tone of woice (how often players iinproi<crly convey a meaning t by making a bid emphatically or he*iI tatinglv!) He never hesitates in playing a card with the object of making the t opponents think that be has something 1 in his hand which actually is not there; i ami if he has a bad partner, he seeks | every opportunity of congratulating 1 him on a correct piece of play and 1 never refers to errors. Thereby he gets I the best out of the bad partner Cultivate good card manners and you will 1 automaticadly increase your winnings. In the preceding article twelve probI lem hands that appeared in an English competition were given for the reader i to decide upon the proper bids. The

hands were sis follows:

The decision of the English judges, all e\|*-rts as to the proper bid m each

hand is as follows:

1. “Three No-Tnimps.“ 2. "One No-Trump’ .

3. "No Bid".

4. "One No-Trump”,

5. "No Bid". 6. "No bid".

7. "Five Spades”.

8. "No Bid".

9. "Fou,flubs".

10. "Double". 11. "No Bid".

12. " Three Hearts”.

The majority vote of the English contestants as to the proper bid with tho foregoing hands, is as folkiws:

B : d i’ererntage 1 "Three No-Trumps. ,r

2. "Three Clubs.”

3. "No Bid."

4. "One No-Trump." 5. “One No-Trump." 6. “Two Spades."

7. “No Bid." 8. "No Bid.”

9. "Three Clubs.”

10. "Double."

11. “Two Clubs.” 12 "Tlirec Hearts.”

Th • writer agrees with the vote of the English Judges in all tltc hands except three. In Hand No. 3, the writer would bid five clubs over four hearts. Y's hand is liopeless as a triek taker except with clubs as trumjis and it looks like a sure loss of game and nib!x-r at the four heart bid. If A B should bid five hearts and Z should double, Y should jiass and hope that

Z ran take three tricks.

With Hand No. 8, the writer would bid one heart. The hand contains so many top cards that there is a danger of it living passed out by the other threw

players if Z passes.

With Hand No. 12, the writer would pass. There is sure to be a bid on this hand and therefore a second rluince t(* Z to -how his heart suit. It is a verw dangr rous hand with which to Inc thiee hearts. The opjrments arc almost sure to hid and, if the |>artnrr helps tbs heart bid, Y Z may lose a l»g penalty.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 9.— Lottie Pickford, sister of Mary, the film star, reported to police that she had been robbed by four men early today who took her valuables after knocking down her escort. The robbers acosted the actress while she and Jack Daugherty, a friend, were tn route to Miss Pickford’s home in an automobile. Miss Pickford said she was carried to a lonely spot by the four men after they had felled and robbed Daugherty. She prevailed upon them to release her after they had taken her valuables.
