A Story of Heart Sobs.
The Herald always wants to give
the news that happens and do jus
tice to all{concerred. The unfor
tunate incident of last Sunday- the‘
breaking of windows and entering
a half dczen stores, which was tra
ced to two youth who were in
quest of money more than plunder
is one of those things that must be
handled with good judgment for
the @ood of the future of not only
the boys themselves, but others
susseptible to temptation of getting
something for nothing. Some one!
near and dear pays with heartaches
and pangs of sorrow, things that
bovs with wordly vision realize lit
tie of. The trouble is in getting
next ton and understanding the
peculiarities of. such boys, nnud the
proper application of the remedy.
A prayerful thought and nghiful
judgment is hoped to save {hem

The Farmer Finds
A Real Champion
Governor Smith’s speech on the
farm question at Omaha, has set the
western prairies on fire with enthu.
slasm for she Democratic candidate.
That in Governor Smith the farmers
have at last found a champion who is
jumping into the fight for agricultural
Justice on their side is the keynote of
all unbiased comment coming from
the Western states.
Governor Smith went to Omaha, in
the heart of America’s great, farming
empire, to tell the farmers that he is
prepared immediately on electien to
take the leadership in getting the kind
of agricultural legislation they have
been vainly demanding from the Re
publicans for the past eight years.
The response to this offer of friend
ship and actiomn has been electric.
The people who till the soil and
supply the nation with its food are
now assured that if Governor Smith
18 elected they will see the standard
of “Equality for Agriculture” hoisted
to the flagstaff of the White House.
They are expressing their enthusiasm
in no uncertain terms.
Especially telling has been the con
trast drawn between Governor Smith's
pledges for the farmer and Herbert
Hoover's policy of evasion. Hoover's
hostility to Agriculture has heen well
known ever since his days as war-time
Food Administrator. Now as Repub
lean candidate he is trying desperate-
Iy hard to cover up his bad past rec
ord, but his heart remains the same as
before, and his only plan to solve the
problem of the #urplus crop is to
starve the farmers out until there is
no more surplus,
