Hoover to Be Reckoned With.

Herbert Hoover is going to be big figure
in the presidential campaign. That goes
whether he is adopted by the Republicans or
the Democrats, or by neither. He has not Sc
riously committed himself in favor Of the for
mer. Rather he has invited the party to come
to his views. If it does not and II the Demo-
Gratis pass him up there is very apt to be
third party which will be just as truly Hoov-
er party as the Progressive Republicans were
q Roosevelt party. 1t is conceivable that the
former food dictator would prefer to head
new political movement rather than place him
self under obligations to either Of the old
parties.
Strength of the Hoover sentiment is not
underestimate by old party leaders In the
vernacular he has them all guessing and if he
were out of the way a number OF gentlemen
with campaigns for the nomination already
we'll advanced would breathe deep signs Of re-
lief. That they all stand ready to discreetiy
support any movement which promises to elm
mate him admits of little doubt And if he
should be nominated in spite of everything they
probably would wish they had their money
back
And why do the people want Hoover? Be-
cause they are heartily sick of the strictly par
tisan game as it is always played in Washing
ton. Disclosures arising in connection with
the war have awakened them to the utter lack
of system of government organized on 100
per cent political basis. The manner in which
scoundrelly contractors and other varieties Of
human vultures. without regard to political
affiliation, were able to evade the safeguards
for the protection of public funds, to outwit
the guardians of the exchequer and literally
to fatten upon the peoples blood was reve-
lation. The regular army and navy were able
to furnish nuclei for our vastly augmented
fighting forces and the technical skill to train
them There was nothing, however, around
which to build a competent organization to
handle the business end of the war. There is
a strong demand for a reorganization of gov
ernment on business basis to stop the leaks
and lessen the difficulties OF paying off our
heavy obligations
The manner in which the legislative and
administrative branches of the government
have failed to meet their responsibilities in
connection with peace terms has been another
powerful factor in creating Q demand for q
new deal The people want the treaty ratified
on some terms There is not the slightest doubt
about that. Arranging the minor details is a
business in which the vast majority have no
wish to take part. They are willing to leave
the forms to their accredited representatives
who are supposed to have been elected with a
view of their fitness to do such things. Inas-
much as the foundation Of the difficulty lay in

How Does 1t Work?

"The proof OF the pudding is in the eat-lg."
The proof of any device, mechanical or other
wise. consists in finding out whether it will
work That is the test that DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills, the celebrated clergyman. applies to
pure socialism to prove it's fallacy.
The doctor tells of a time years ago when
an aged inventor came to him with a perpetual
motion device. He had spent years perfecting
it and all he wanted was SIS to add one or
two essential details. He did not know, appar-
entity the simple fact that so many thousands
CT this kind have lived and died without find
ing out-namely that perpetual motion is con-
trary to the laws of nature. He did not get
his s25 and the device never was perfected.
No less visionary than the old inventor are
those who believe that men and women will
work for the love of working when necessity
no longer drives them-that the incentive OF
persona! gain sought through the initiative of
the individual is not necessary-that socialism
will work out as its ardent champions say it
will.
The New York clergyman cites numerous
instances where the theory has been put to
the test. invariably without success. One of
the most conspicuous of these was the New
Australia" established by William Lane an
Australian, in Paraguay. Lane obtained a
grant CT rich land, 100000 acres in extent, of
the very best soil in an ideal climate He was
amply supplied with money and selected for
his colony only perfect physical specimens

Odd and Interesting

New York wastes as much water
every day as would supply a city
of 100000 population.
The time-honored bullseye Ian
tern carried by the London police
has been replaced by a neat electric
lamp.
About 100000 worth of gold
has been mined in Wales, Scotland

years.
There is a shortage of celluloid
buttons, since Japan has refused to
export camphor, of which the Gel
luloid is largely made.
A bicycle which receives motive
power by the movement of the

ness of the road has been invented.
A New York hotel has the larp-
est private telephone switchboard

twenty people are required to look
after it
In a ton OF water from the At
lantic there is 81 pounds OF salt as
against 1877 pounds in the same

primarily because political considerations
we're placed uppermost both parties are blamed
and . good many voters are looking for >
chance to show their disapproval in some con-
crete way.
Mr.. Hoover seems to be the logical man to
take charge Of the housecleaning. He must
not expect to get much help from politicians SO

getting the nomination. II he should secure

there was a marvellous change. Industry re-
vived. People who had been idle. dissatisfied.

Commenting on the result OF the experiment,
DR.. Hills says:
Under ideal conditions, having absolutely
everything that the Socialists have demanded.
this experiment has demonstrated certain
facts. 1t shows that socialism is not the
Trustworthy peruna it was advertised to be.
1t hasn't worked while man slept. 1t hasn't
saved money. 1t has not lessened strikes. 1t
was not democratic. The whole story came
out the other day in hearing in London be-
Hughes, for eight years prime minister Of
Australia, gave his testimony. desperate at
tempt was made by the socialistic papers Of
England to discredit the facts But the truth
leaked out. Hughes took the committee into
the back yard and exposed the socialistic
clothes line covered with soiled. dirty. dis
agreeable facts. Among the capitalistic crowd
are certain get-rich-quick artists who bank on
the facts that there is a fool born every
minute.
And among the working people there are
also the get-rich-easy quack, Marks and Shaw
and Wells and Bellamy. who are telling the la
boring classes that just around the corner in
the dawn of a near tomorrow there is a golden
age OF socialism where the worker is no long
er robbed by capital of two-thirds of the fruit
age Of his work. And now, laboratory demon
stration. under ideal conditions in Paraguay,
has once more proved that this perpetual mo-
ton machine is delusion. The whole beauti-
full balloon of socialism-the greatest gas bag
of all dream Zeppelins bursts like bubble
when you prick it with that plain common
everyday pin named human frailty. 1t seems,
therefore. an unavoidable conclusion, that the
old inventor Of Schermerhorn street, with his
perpetual motion machine having failed to ex-
tract s25 from the pocket of an unbelieving
and hard-hearted individualist, finally decided
not to irrigate but also fertilize the vegetable
beard that lay upon his chest and convert his
| mechanism into terms of economics, thus be-
slowing upon the world Of deluded working
men. will O. the wisp experiment known as
socialism. concerning which it must be said
that the sunsets and dawns of 5000 years have
never seen one such experiment that proved

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
C0UOuflage for Scar.

When l was 6 years old 1 was
operated on for harelip. The op-
Grafton was a perfect success ex-
cept that there has always been .
white scar at the line of the lip,
which is very noticeable, as my
complexion is rather rudy. Can
anything be done to improve that?
S. o. S.
Answer-The scar may be tattoo
ed with pink to blend with the ad-
jacent skin. OF course that would
be procedure only for a surgeon
or skin specialist.
Hopeless Case of Chronic Health.
When exert myself, for instance
to run up a fight or two of stairs
or do few gymnastic exercises,
my heart beats or thumps forcibly
against my ribs and my pulse rate
increases considerably for two or
three minutes afterward. Can one
have heart disease without know
ing it? G. E. X.
Answer-One can scarcely have
heart disease without being aware
that the health and endurance have
diminished. If your heart is sound
it should heave hard against your
ribs after such eyertion. and beat
faster for a minute or two after
ward. If it continues beating fast
er than your normal pulse rate
more than three minutes after run
ming up a flight Of stairs or taking
IS deep knee f1exions. then you
should at least let your doctor look
you over.

Cabinet Changes Under Roosevelt
and Wilson.

Cabinet changes under President Wilson
tave been numerous enough. but not so numer-
Gus, comparatively speaking, as anti-adminis-
tration propagandists would have us believe
In the seven years since he announced his or
ignal cabinet he has made nine changes in q
total OF six positions. Only two members.
Burleson and Daniels, have survived.
Under Roosevelt in a similar period there
were no fewer than Is changes in the original
cabinet and Wilson, Of the department Of agri-
culture, was the only man to finish with the
administration. One change was made in the
interior department and the number ranged up
to Eve in the navy department.
The various members Of the Roosevelt cab
met were:
Secretary OF state-Hay. Root and Bacon.
Secretary of the treasury-Gage, Shaw and
Cortelyou.
Secretary Of war-Root. Taft and Wright
Secretary of the navy-Long. Moody. Nor
ton, Bonaparte. Metcalf and Moody.
Attorney general-kpox, Moody, Bonaparte.
Postmaster general-Smith, Payne. Wynne,
Cortelyou and Won Meyer.
Secretary of the Observation-Disclosures and

Secretary Of agriculture Wilson.
Members Of the Wilson cabinet to date have
been:
Secretary Of state-Bryan, Lansing and
