New-York tribune., 1919-03-16

Hoover was destined to exhibit his will
power and determination early. A differ
ence resulting between him and his guar
dians as to the sort of education he
should have, Hoover stated firmly that
he was going to one of the big universi-
ties for a scientific education. He was
not going to a Quaker college. His rela-
tives appear to have been equally firm
in their refusal to allow the fund left by
Hoover's parents for his schooling to be
diverted to such worldly purpose
SO we see Hoover next in Portland,
Ore, where "he earned his living and
nights and Sundays he worried by him
self through the studies he would have
had at preparatory school," Then in
1891 he successfully passed his examina-
tions for Stanford University--the first
boy to enter Stanford University and
sleep in the big dormitory.
Almost coincident with his arrival at
the university Hoover again exhibited
a little Of his determined character.
Though he had passed enough of his
entrance examinations he deemed it ad-
visable to pass one more. He had day
to- prepare in a subject, and reviewing
the possibilities he decided on physiology,
with which he was entirely unfamiliar
He passed it-with twenty-four hours
preparation. Though he had only few
hundred dollars on@ entering the uni
versity and was consequently obliged to
work his way through college, he took
part in the student activities, and did his
first piece of organizing as treasurer of
the student body in putting the student
funds on a stable basis.
His desire was to be a mining en-
gineer and he took the requisite courses.
Then, having completed his college career,
he went to Grass Valley and took a lob
as an ordinary miner, which he kept
until he felt he had gained sufficient
experience. Next, he picked Louis Janin
IN California as one of the best mining
men in the state, and applied to him for
a job
Just because Janin did not have a lob
for him in his Office Hoover was not dis
couraged He said he was willing to
take position without salary for the
experience. When he was told that Job
as typist at $45 month was the only
position open Hoover replied that it was
just what he wanted SO he ended on
the engineers staff.
From then on Hoover began to see the
far corners of the world. The Western
States were first. An offer from an Aus

the streets Of the town with the calf in
tow. Before a building occupied by Ger
man troops the calf uttered a pathetic
moo, which was answered by its mother
within. Hoover explained to the sentry
at the gate that his cow was inside, as
the calf had demonstrated When the
sentry became fully cognizant of the
situation he took the calf also. 1t might
be added that Hoover recovered damages.
Zinc in Australia, prehistoric lead
mines in Burma, iron in Russia, all
claimed Hoover's attention, until he
became connected with a London COM
pany and finally went into business
for himself. And then the world war
arrived and on the edges of the whirlpool

fact is that it was successfully terminated
under the leadership of the President.
Petty criticisms of individual defects and
OF individual officials may attract attention
for awhile, but ultimately the big things
are the ones that count The Republican

ing any alternative programme which will

away their time and energies in futile crit
1clsm of things other men have done, and

Will demonstrate their inability to carry
on any reconstruction policies in compre-
henslve and satisfactory sense"
Concerning the Democratic defeat last
November, he expressed no alarm, say
ing:
"No friend Of the Administration Ia at
all disturbed by the results of the last
election 1t is a commonplace observation
that it any progressive programme has
been steadfastly maintained for certain
period of time there is likely to be q mo-
ment of reaction. You cannot effect re-
form without changing conditions, and you
cannot change conditions without produc-
ing some irritation, and, if continued long
enough, the irritation will make itself felt
before the readjustment is completed"

tralian concern brought him to the island
continent, where his ability in organizing
mining work brought him quick recog-
milton, so rapid that in 1899-four years
after his graduation from college - he
started via the United States as Director
of Mines in China. A year later he stood
the siege in Tientsin, where he organ
lied his workers to lcok after the civic
routine of the city.
During this siege Hoover had his first
passage with German authority One day

beyond recovery, until he thought of

Hoover has gone further since then
as "The New York Globe" indicates in
summing up his achievements:

post of Food Administrator for the Tinted

he would held hic ofEao ~,y-

However, his forebodings proved uniusti-
fed. He made good so emphatically that the
whole country promptly recognized his fair
ness. his keen intelligence, his driving power
of initiative, and gave him the wholehearted
support which rendered comparatively easy
the herculean task of saving food upon
which he caused the nation to embark"

Neither the country nor the world is
organized to hold Hoover in the public
service. Somehow, he is too expensive a

to keep themselves fed. OF course, he NAV

In the future, not only for the citizens of
this country, but for all peoples every
where"
To turn again to the interview accord
ed The New York Times" by Mr.. Cum
mings, the Democratic chairman believes
1T is entirely up to the Republicans
whether the league Of nations becomes
an issue in the next election. AS far as
he was concerned personally, he would
have the league Of nations treated "as a
bipartisan question, as non-political {"
ut is largely up to the Republican
party to determine whether it is big
enough to treat the question in the same
way" he added
In the event that the league is adopted
before the next campaign, he gave the
following estimate Of the future situa-
ton:
"Our country must work out an adjust
ment between labor and capital which shall
be so equitable and so effective that it will
prevent recurring widespread labor disturb
ances. That is most difficult and intricate
problem; the best brains of the country
must be used to find solution. We may
be sure that such attempts will be made,
and it is highly probable that each party

ton. If so, that issue will be a crucial one.
"But in my opinion it will be around the
record Of the Democratic party that the
active issues of the 1920 campaign will col
lect. That record, think, will be our
strongest asset. We have record of do
mestic progress unparalleled in a like
period of time. The mere statement of
what was done shows an extraordinary ad-
vance. We have endeavored to interpret
and make effective the best sentiment of
the people. But for the leadership of Will
son we would have been without proper
currency system in the gravest crisis we
have ever gone through In other words.
but for the President and the Democratic
party we could never have gone through
the war and financed ourselves and supplied
Y
the money needs of our allies without a
great and devastating panic. The Repub-
lican party showed itself impotent to revise
the currency system. The Federal Reserve
act is wonderful achievement.
"Other important constructive legislation
to our credit is the Farm Loan act, the Gre
alton of the War Finance Corporation, the
establishment of department under the
Alien Property Custodian. the creation Of
the War Finance Board the War Risk In
surance system for our soldiers and sail

be SOCIALISM against Americanis,n.
Speaking at St. Paul, at the North
west Republican rally last week. Will H.
Hays, chairman Of the Republican Ma
tlonal Committee, has already voiced Re-
publican sentiments on such a stand.
"The st. Paul Pioneer Press" quotes him
as saying:
with all our power we will strive to
prevent the further spread of socialism. and
set this nations feet once more firmly on
the path of progress and along ways which
liberty and order must ever guard and nrc-
serve"
Kemarking that there is in this coun-
try religious faith which believes in
the divinity of the Constitution of the
United States, Mr.. Hays continued:
we do not accept this tenet, but | an
prove Of the direction Of the thought and
recommend the appreciation. There is q
time not far distant when our heel must
be in the ground. Law and order shall

Proficiency in Saving

CTILL another tribute to woman's in.

up-to-date fields of labor J. P. Murphy,
in "The New York Central Magazine"
tells of the useful work accomplished by
women as savers of scrap metal in the
yards Of the General Storehouse at
Collinwood, Ohio. Like so many other
Industries during the war, this branch
of labor had been severely handicapped
until women stepped into the breach and
showed conclusively just what they
could do.
"The employment of women in this SER
vice has passed the experimental stage. 1t
has been found that women are we'll adapted

"The women spy and pick out good nuts.

celaneous pile of track scrap and put them
into coal buckets which are placed handy
and which are later relayed to the work bin
by the crane"
Practical dress has come into its
own:
"The women have taken kindly to ovcr'

around, and as matter of safety prevents
the catching Of skirts or other garments
on projecting pieces of iron. They are very

There is no doubt where Mr.. Hoover
will betake himself now that his work
Is done. He will return to the career of
mining engineering, where he had risen

Whose posters have had their place in
every housekeeper's kitchen and whose
name itself has become verb in our

the Belgians were known to ask:

learned who he is there are still many
people who are asking, "Who was
