rrrIe NEW YORK WORLD AND HOOVER.

The New york World, for seven years the
recognized mouthplece OF tho wilson ndminis-
traton, rudely shocked tho political
brethren ias, week hy declaring for Herbert
Hoover for president Beginning with the declara-
ton that the world would support Hoover as
democrat would support him as an independent
and would accept him even as a republican. the
Wilson official gazette embelished three full col
umns with beautiful English but atrocious logic
concluding In those words:
In point OF ability, in point OF experience.
In point Of capacity to deal comprehensNe-
" with the new problems OF roconatrucuon,
Mr.. Hoover towers above all the candidates
who have been brought into the contest
There arc arguments against him except
the arguments that are spawned out OF tho
staEnant waters OF professional politics.
For itself tho world does not care whether
Mr. Hoover calls hmpelr democrat or re-
publican or u progressive or an independent
lie Is the kind OF man that ought to bc presi-
dent OF the United States ana he is the man
the World intends TO support for president
OF tho United States regardless OF all tho
artificial barriers OF n debased and dscredit-
cd partisanship.
Il is inevitable that these rather intompcr-
ate statementa will be controyerted, not once
but many times For they are Incapable of being
sustained either In logic or fact. It viii be In
terestng to watch the esteemed world trying
to prove that It's candidate Is superior in point
OF ability, In pout OF experience and In point OF
capacity" or to defend him against the rather
cruel thruss that are certain To be his
II the ability to make good in doing certain
nutocrutic thing after being invested with au-
thority answerahlc to man or law, is an
indication OF Superior ability" then Mr. Hoover
may properly lay claim to excellence. And II
superior capacity" is evidenced by agreeing 70
a general advance In food prices suggested by
those Interested In an advance and purely boz
cause Il Is considered tho proper thing to de-
mand greater profits during war than in peace
time. then the Worlds candidate can again score
and score big.
But II these clements OF superiority are to DO
determined only by constructive patriotic effort
amid circumstances such as the average states
man of our country has had to contend with
then the argument falls and falls fatly. Mr.
Hoover is not known as even American Ills
record proves conclusvely that his attachment
for his country was Incapable Of holding him to
active citizenship In his country.
The esteemed Worlds contempt for political
arguments spawned out OF the stagnnnt waters
OF professional politics. Is heroic, to hc sure
But even the broadcst charity Is incapable OF
agreeing that g. Is consistent since OF all pub
iishcd American Journals the world is tho most

not accept his Que from The New Nor, world
Those who 1o however are iunaaulpte- -states-

The confession ot our contemporary chat &c
viii support Hoover rur prcsicu, on amy ticket
and that "he ia tho kind OF a man that ought 20
be president or ,ho uuitod Sta.cs' can mean
but one thing. That Hoover, ot an offerings
comes nearer UpinE he who Is scheduled TO
retire from the chief maglslracy iu March 1891
For the World, just prior TO breaking into It's
peroration for Hoover ana lts oNcorauuu VI
politicians confesses that "Woodrow Wilson is
the greatest president that ever occupied The
white house" what is sought, Of course is an
other OF his kind,
Animated by such purpose, Il must be con
fessed that the world is on consistent ground
at least on Herbert lie is an nlornauonaItst
not only In theory but In prarJice lie wants the
league even as his preoeptor wants g. He has
no patience with the sccshncss ot national
patriotism. but lonss 10 soar on the wings Of
