...plan is a significant one. In contrast to Owen D. Young's tearful pleas for money to tide over the starving, here is a hard-headed measure of a man's real willingness to work. The asperities of rock-hammer and timber-axe will soon enough sort out the industrious needy from the conveniently unemployed. Any able-bodied man can keep body and soul together at the work provided without a drain upon the state, thus greatly lessening the need for downright dole...
Last year 21 Negroes were lynched in the U. S., compared with ten the year before. Disturbed by this turn in the long ebbing tide of mob murder, a group of public-spirited whites joined with a group of public-spirited blacks in a Southern Commission on the Study of Lynching.

More realistic and practical, the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment counted what looked like Wet noses in Congress, announced big gains, named names. A. A. P.

...probably could not now carry his own State. But the election was still 363 days off, in which time the whole political scene can and may change. Two major things may occur to improve President Hoover's chances of success: i) a turn for the better in the economic tide, with rising prices and increased trade, which would substantially dampen the "protest vote" now rampant; 2) Democratic blunders in managing the next House (see p. 12), followed by another Wet & Dry schism after the Democratic nomination...
