Newspapers called it a split with Secretary of State, Hull, but the Professor denied this and claimed that his love for journalism had forced him to accept editorship of a weekly for Mr. Astor. Whatever the reasons the administration has lost a good man.


Missouri rejected the 18th Amendment and became the twenty-second state to pull that act. Only fourteen more are needed to complete the repealing three-fourths. Fifteen are scheduled to vote before Nov. 8. Looks like we may have a "liquid" Thanksgiving.
