E. ROBERTS III PIJR PURI! •tea Owen D. Voting On rnlth's Cove For The Common Peo ple And Their Welfare. tne Editor 01 rne star: to many things have been said tag this campaign that some of good people have found it dif ilt to decide what they ought to and it is not my purpose to icise them for it. However, to mind there are many reasons y we should support Governor ith and the entire Democratic cet. I am quoting some extracts m a statement made by Mr. en D. Young who is one of the gest mein in our country and is fectly familiar with Gov. Smith's :ord. Mr. Young says: "I am •porting Governor Smith because is a Democrat and a liberal in > truest sense. He believes in the elligencc and honesty of the sses of the people, so much so leed, that they are always his trt of last resort, not only when I election is on and he is a can late for office, but every time a ;at issue arises hf naturally goes the people themselves for guid •ce and support. He never appeals their passions or unworthy am lons. He goes straight to their r| and heart. He is one of the leaders of masses in all history 10 does not stoop to the tactics the demagogue. He has the ca city to make them understand d to move them to action wtt.h t unfair appeal. No political ider in the world today so far as know, and I know most of them s. such capacity for mass leader ip as he.” Again Mr. Young ys: "Both candidates believe in the npllficatlon of government ad inistration and as that is a pol cal question, and success depends rgely upon capacity for political adership. my own impression is at governor Smith is likely to get more quickly and more effective than Mr. Hoover. Mr. Hoover lows what ought to. be done, as sll as Governor Smith, but he has 5t had opportunity to demon fate his political capacity to get done. » Governor Smith has made his •monstration as governor of New ork in the face of a recalcitrant gislature.” I think we should give the entire emocratic ticket the largest vote •er given in Cleveland county on tcount of our own candidate for foernor, O. Max Gardner, both as tribute to his worth and as a latter of county pride. MRS. J. F. ROBERTS. $ount Sinai News Of Community Items (Special to The Star.) Shelby.

Babe Ruth AndAlSmith Talk Over World Series And Smith’s Home Run Kins: Says Yankee Team Is Behind New York Gov ernor Now. New York World. A collarless man in his shirt sleeves stood In the open doorway of No. 1427 and surveyed the burly figure before him. “By gosh." he exclaimed, extend ing his hand, "you're the champion of them all!" "No, I ain't; you are!" replied the other. "Come on in till I put on my col lar," said the first. Thus did A1 Smith welcome back to New York the hero of the 1928 World’s Series and thus did Babe Ruth receive the greeting. Following his host into the living room of the governor's suite in the Biltmore. the Yankee slugger found himself in a whirl of introductions; "This is my daughter. Mrs. Warn er; Emily, this is Babe Ruth. This is Mrs. Smith; this Is Mrs. Pros kauer; my other daughter, Mrs Quillinan; Mrs. Moskowitz. These are my sons. Al and Walter—come on in I oiks: Frank, where's my col lar?" Col. Jacob J; Ruppert, owner of the Yanks; Manager Miller Hug gins, Lou Gehrig. Benny Bengough and other members of the team en tered the room, each to receive a cordial greeting from the governor. Governor Envies The Babe. "By gosh." said the governor to the Babe, "I wish the kids were hollering for me the way they hol ler for you! I d be sure to be elect ed " "Everybody, young end old. is' hol lering for you," replied the home run king, “and you will be.” “I see,” said the governor, as he struggled with his back collar but ton with his son. Al. jr„ seeking credit for an assist on the play, “that some tellow somewhere in voked the blue laws to put a stop to the radio broadcast of Sunday's game. Did you see that?" "I haven't been reading the pa pers,” said the young man who knocked out three home runs Tues day: "It was in Altoona," some one put in. “I’d like to get a look at that bird,” remarked Al. He must be a hot tamale for fair. Well, what are you going to do now’—take a vaca tion?" "Yes, for one day.’.’ boomed Ruth huskily. "Then we’re going barn I -:---■ storming; you know—one-night stands." "Yes. I know," said the governor. "I'm going barnstorming my.-,elf, on ly instead of hitting the ball 1 11 be hitting the candidates, Frank where's my coat?” "Frank" having produced the coat, the governor and the Babe and his mates repaired to another room, where a battalion of photographers lay in wait for them. For ince the camera men were allowed their fill. Half an hour later Ruth retired to his hotel to. make up the sleep he lost, Monday night while the Yanks i were celebrating their four-straight victory over the SS Louis Cardi nals. County Youth Is Sent TY> Hawaii (Special to The Star t New York. N, Y.. Oct. 16'.— Fri • vote Rupert, R. Holland, son of Mr •i. E Holland of Shelby, who re cently enlisted for service with the infantry bramg of the regular army, has heen assigned to duty with troops in Hawaii, and left New York city to board the United States Transport “Chateau Thier ry" for Honolulu. Upon his arrival at Honolulu, Pri vate Holland and the young men who sailed today with him will he assigned to units in the Hawaiian Islands, located at posts which gen erally lie adjacent to international ly famous resorts and tourist, shrines Soldiers on Hawaiian duty enjoy unusual recreational privileges, there being provided for them sum mer rest ramps where all! may go. for a two-week period during vaca tion time.

Negro In Letter To Hoover Says Says Colored Race Is Grateful (Greensboro News Bureau.) Washington.—Herbert Hoover’s abolition of negro segregation in the department of commerce, which threw a large number of negro em ployes among the white women clerks of various divisions in the census bureau, has had a new air ing in Washington. Kelly Miller, negro of the faculty of Howard uni versity, made public a letter to Mr. Hoover in which he thanked the Republican presidential nominee for “abolishing segregation in the department over which you presid ed.” In his letter to Mr. Hoover, Mil ler wrote: “The colored race is grateful to you, Mr. Hoover, for abolishing seg regation in the department over which you presided, it was welcome, even though it did come at the end of your administration. Great pres sure is being brought to bear by your lily-white proselytes to have you deny, disavow or explain away this noble, manly, American and Republican act. This is but a sug gestion of the price you will be called upon to pay for your lily white re-enforcements.” Negro Republican committeemen who delivered Hoover delegations in the Republican national convention at Kansas City have claimed credit for having the order put through. Negro employes of the census bu reau before the promulgation of the order had a place to themselves on the ground floor of section seven of the building, and say that they did not ask for it, and would have been happier to stay where they were. To Let Thpm Vote. The following editorial in thn At Lanta Journal credits a Republican congressman with saying Hoover will give thousands of negroes vot ing privileges and other privileges of equal citizenship. “At last the cat is out of the bag, and the Hoovercrats have their re ward. No less a figure in Republi c->n councils than Leonidas Car rtr.rphcn Dyer, congressman of the Twelfth Missouri district and au thor of the notorious, bill bearing his name, a bill confessedly design ed to humiliate the south, predicts as follows:. “On November the sixth, that great engineer-politician. Hoover, with the votes of the prohibitionists and those swayed because of the re ligions question in the south, w’H ' drive such a thick wedge through the heart of the ‘Solid (Snuth’ and I their ‘White Sunrrmary' slogan that it will Mow up their whole un constitutional program. After the ; Solid South has been blown to P'prps by Fngineer Hoover, our next president, that will be the finish of the nullifieationists of the souih, Who have for sixty years violated and prevented the enforcement of the fourteenth end fifteen amend- j mmls. it’-n congress will enact : enforcement laws that give mil hens of nearer* their constitutional rights as riti/ens, and place thc-n on equality with all other rare*. Tlv anti-lynehihg hill, intended to en force the fourteenth amendment. was passed by the Republicans of the house of representatives by a vote of two to one. In the senate it had the subport of the Republican members, hut Southern Democra■ ! tie senators took advantage of the despotic senate ru'es to strtge a fill- ; buster that prevented its cornin'; to ; a vote. Had these rules been ehang- I ed, as advocated by Viep Ptesidrnt j Dawes, the Dyer anti-lynching bill would now be a law. The passage | of my bill would have been followed ; by the passage ef still another law , designed to enforce the fifteenth amendment also, and thus the ne- I gro in the south wou'd have come ! into the full rights guaranteed him by the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments.” “The Hoovercrats arc to be con gratulated. At least, those who are hot, so hopelessly deceived by slan ders upon Governor Smith and not so utterly obsessed by “religious" hate as to lock their minds against all truth, arc to be congratulated. For the character of the political cause they are suppirting and the kind of political company they are keeping has been revealed tc them thank heaven, before it is too late! The author of the Dyer bill is to be commended for putting them so fairly on notice. Their Democratic friends and neighbors from time to time have suggested the dangers of rendering the Solid South, but only to be scorned as alarmists and de nounced as allies of Tammany. What a mere layman of the old fashioned Jeffersonian school that he should be counseling the Politi cal Saints or remonstrating with the "Political Pulpiteers?” What was a mere Democrat that he should talk of duty and peril, of Southern rights and Southern loy alty to a Hoovcrcrat? But when Congressman Dyer himself speaks as he has done our friends needs must listen. And if they reflect they can but tremble at thought of the precipice on which they have been blindly swaying.’’ MOTORISTS OFTEN "GW OVER CIS Snmfl Filling Station Operators Short-Sell Anywhere From Pint To Six Qaarts. Washington—Urging the impor tance of administrative machinery in all states for the enforcement of weights and measures laws, the American Automobile association declared today that the loss to car owners of the country at the hands of “gip" operators jf gasoline pumps is conservatively estimated at a $20, 000.0C0 a year. The statement of the national mo toring body, it was said, is based on ah analysis of a check-up made by affiliated A. A A. motor clubs and by civic authorities at widely sepa rated points throughout the coun try. “This estimate of loss to the car owners through dishonest venders of motor fuel," said the statement, “is in all probability am under-rstimate rather than an over-estimate. The inadequacy enforcement machinery is at the root of the evil and in order that this may be corrected, we have prepared as the basis of action by ! our clubs, an analysis of the situa tion as regards veights and meas ures laws and the enforcement thereof in all states," Not All Companies. The national motoring body point ed out, however, ,hat the existing i conditions should not be attributed to the responsible oil companies or station owners, as it has been found that they are as anxious as the pub lic to eliminate the dishonest opera tors and the petty thieves who flourish in the ranks of pump at tendants. The statement continues: "In me middle western city, a check-up of gasoline stations, dis closed that out of 91 stations, 15 or one out of every six was short selling the motorists. This short age ranged all the way from one pint to six quarts out Of every five gallons sold. This occurred in one of the states where a weights and measures law is in effect and actively enforced. Loss Estimated Heavy. “There were 11.500,000.000 gallons of gas sold in the United atates in 1927. It is safe to assume that at least one-sixth of this total, or ap proximately 200,000,000 gallons, was subjected to short sales and that the shortage averaged one quart in every five gallons. “This simply means that the mo torists were 'giped' out of some 100, 000,000 gallons of gasoline in 192* and that at the current cost of gaso line, their money loss was at leas $20,000,000. “Not long ago the weights anr measures Inspector of an easterr city with a car population of les; than 100,CJ0, declared that the mo torists of the city were losing $400, 000 a year through sales. It wll readily be seen if this average helc true for the country as a whole, the total annual loss would be mor* than three times the minimum es timate of loss we have made. in an important southern city t check-up of 100 purchases ot gaso line resulted in 25 prosecutions with 23 convictions, the evidence provin: shortages ranged from one quart tc two gallon, tn a five-gallon sale. “The method employed in con ducting periodical check-ups pro vides that men acting in co-opera tion with A. A A. clubs authoritie! have cars equipped with dummv gasoline tanks, which are in theii usual place cn the car, and a sec ond tank, with which to operate the car, is usually concealed undci the seat or in some other location where it is not noticeable. Those men visit gas stations of question able reputation and make five gallon purchases. The gasoline is thee taken out of sight and measured for- - accurate volume.” Fashionable Fall Footwear For The Entire Family We invite you to in spect the largest and most complete line of reliable footwear in this entire section comprising all the new shapes, styles and col ors.
