Those Who Tried To Trap AlWitti
Questions Got Replies Right
Were Confounded When He Shot
Bark Answers And Told Them
To Ask Hoover Also.
When Gov. Smith spoke in Omaha
Tuesday night he was presented
with a page advertisement in a
newspaper signed by ten Nebrask
ans, who claimed to be for both,
parties. “Ail right.' said the Gover
nor. "Ill answer the questions, and
if the gentlenpn who asked them
are acting from patriotic motives,
and not mere partisan ones, they
should ask Mr. Hoover to answer
the same questions.'1
The text of th# questions as read
and the governor s replies follow:
Q.—“What specific federal legisla
tion do you propose for farm re
lief?"
A.—“If these gentlemen had wed
my speech of acceptance there
would be no occasion for that ques
tion. I made that clear in Omaha
tonight, that the legislation work
ing out the principle of lifting the
surplus is to be handed to a com
mission to be worked out during
the winter.”
Q.—"Do you believe the country
will be more prosperous with or
without liquor? Why?”
A.—- Well, i assume that this is
an intelligent group of men that
have an understanding of what is
going on around the country. No
body, no living person, no matter
how wise, no matter how well in
formed, no matter how far-seeing
could make any answer to that ques
tion, because theie has never been
liquor out of this country.”
Q—“Do you believe that liquor is
the great issue in this campaign?”
A.—"I certainly do not.”
Q.—"How can you square your
support of Democratic candidates
for congress pledged against liquor
with what you say you will do for
liquor?”
A.—‘ Why, I don't know what idea
these men must have of the debates,
the platform and the speeches of ac
ceptance. If they paid the slightest
attention to anyone they could not
ask that kind of a question, because
there is nothing that the president
can do about liquor. All he can do
is recommend to the congress, and
he can assume the leadership of
the Americm people In an effort
to show them that his recommen
dation is right. That is what I pro
pose to do, and let the American
people make the decision as they
will have to do.”
Q —“How can i support a dry
Democratic candidate for congress?”
A.—"That question came up in the
national convention, and the nation
al convention deliberately, through
the report of the committee on cre
dential, left every Democrat in the
United States free to express his
own individual op.nion of what he
thought on that subject.”
“Now, you have an admirable,
scholarly gentleman running for
United States senator here, Mr. Met
calf. I understand Nebraska is dry,
but I would never ask Mr. Metcalf
to turn his back on the people of
his state until suen time as he can
come out here and convince them
that they are not tackling the pro
blem the right way.”
Q.—"How will your proposal for
the sale of liquor in a few states
meet your issue of personal liberty
in other states? ’
A.—“The pre- cation of the sale
of liquor is in the exercise of police
power, and I nave clearly showed
that H a majority oi the people of a
given state voted tor the exercise of
that police power in that direction
they should get H to the limit.
“On ihe other hard, following
the well-defined Jeffersonian prin
ciple of state's rights, the stale that
does not want the exercise of that
police power ought to be in a posi
tion, through a majority of the peo- i
pie to say so." . .j
Q.—“Are you still personally op-,
posed to the St. Lawrence water- j
way?”
A.—“Why, if tne gentlemen had j
just looked at my speech of accept- j
ance, they would have seen that 11
made as clear a declaration on that
as any man could make. I frankly j
said to the American people that,
while I was the governor of the j
state of New York. I favored the 1
all-American rout?, because it wentj
through the state, but inasmuch as I
the figures affecting the .St. Law-1
rence canal, as well as the all- ;
American route, are disputed by i
some eminent engineers, I am wall
ing to leave it to congress after a
study of the matter.”
"Now number seven is something
of a tricky ques ion. It says:
“You have stated that the Under
wood tariff law fulfills the pledges of
this year's Democratic platform.”
My answer to these distinguish
ed gentlemen is that I never said
that and I challange them to find
it in any public paper of mine.”
The last one, number eight, is
this:
‘“Are you in favor of higher food
prices in the rity or lower food
prices on the farm?”
“My answer to that is that the
farmer can get the full benefit of
the value of nis crop without in
creasing the price in the city.”
Repot House Plants
For Winter Months
Raleigh.—Before cold weather,
the house plants used to add a note
of color and cheer to the home dur
ing the winter should be repotted
and so shaped that they may be
brought into their winter quarters.
"The first step m repotting plants
is to prepare the right kind of soil,"
says Glenn O. Randall, assistant
horticulturist at f.tate college. "A
mixture containing from one-half
to one-third of fine, well decayed
manure with an equal part of rich
garden soil, with probably a little
sand should pioduce vigorous
plants. If a quart of. superphosphate
is added to each bushel of such soil
and well mixed with it, better re
sults will be had."
In repotting the house plants, Mr.
Randall advises ample drainage in
each pot. Cinders:, gravel or broken
pieces of pot placed ui the bottom
of the pot should, with the sand and
organic matter, provide this drain
age. After potting, the house plants
should be carefully watered. While
the soil needs to be kept moist, the
plants do not require as much
moisture in winter as they do in
winter as they do in the hot sum
mer months. To keep the best soil
condition, waterings should be less
frequent but more thorough.
The plants also need a supply of
food. There are some materials such
as "Vigpro" that ere readily avail
able and may De applied at the rate
of one teaspoonfnl to each six-inch
pot at six to eight-week intervals.
Such materials should be applied
just before the plants are watered
and when the m< isture is applied,
it will soak the soluble plant food
into the soil where the plants may
use it immediate'v state Mr, Ran
dall.

School Child Needs
Well Balanced Lunch
Raleigh—Folks are learning in
North Carolina that the progress a
child makes at school depends on
his general health and that his
health is greatly affected by the
kind of food eaten.
“This makes the school lunch of
great importance,” says Miss Mary
Thomas, .nutrition Specialist at
State college. "About one-fourth of
the food for a day should be in the
lunch box and to balance this food
so that the chil i will be well nour
ished, some planning is necessary.
The well planned It.nch will contain
milk in some form, a substantial
food, usually in the form of sand
wiches, some fruit or vegetables, a
fat, preferably in the form of but
ter, and a sweet in the form of
simple cakes or fruits,''
Then when suc.t a luncheon has
been prepared, pack it well, sug
gests Miss Thomas. Often, she
states, the best lunch is spoiled by
careless packing. A metal box or
bucket with holes for ventilation or
a good substantial basket makes the
most desirable container. Oil paper
for wrapping the food, paper nap
kins, a spoon, a bettie for the milk,
a cup and a jelly glass with a tight
fitting lid or a screw top jar for
cooked fruits, salads or desserts
will go far towards making the
luncheon more attractive.
In packing the lunch, the heavier
roods should be placed at the bot
tom of the container and as com
pactly as possible to prevent spill
ing. Those foods which are to be
eaten first should be placed on top
where possible.
Miss Thomas has prepared a
number of very attractive menus to
use for the school lunch. Just a few
cold things left over from the
breakfast table is trot sufficient, she
states, and she -v:U be glad to mail
a copy of these menus to those
parents who wish to have this in
formation. V,
