sued a statement today in which he re-
ouested he be not further embarrassed
hy suggestions of some Independents
that his name be placed before any 9th
er party. as "a primary sense of team
work in any party organization would
preclude such possibility"
Mr.. Hoover said in his statement he
had no great record of partisan activ-
ity and admitted" that his political ac
tivity was confined to membership in
prominent republican club and allie
glance to the party over period OF
years. He added that because of his
profession of a mining engineer, con
tinual shift of residence had prevented
him from exercising as much as he
desired the privilege of every citizen Il:
the polls
Asserting that his administrative
duties in various relief organizations
would prevent him from making a
personal canvass for the nomination,

organizations throughout the country
would have to expend certain amoun.s
for printing and other expenses, but
that he hoped they would confine
themselves to minor subscriptions and
expenditures and would be prepared

tion.
Mr.. Hoover requested that men and
women advocating his nominatioh
bear in mind that personal criticism
of the other names before the party is
chiefly of service to the opposition"
IAN these men," he said, "are pa
triotic, honorable Americans. They
have all served the country well and
are entitled to respect"
Because he had refused to allow his
name put into the primaries, Mr. Hoo
Yer declared there was little organiza-
tion" on his behalf and at this late
date no organization is possible that
could compete with other organiza
tions. He urged that his supporters
confine their energies to promotion of
their views to the country and the dele
gates already named, with full respect
to their prior pledges"
Mr.. Hoover said that he had no ex-
pectation that his entrance into the
presidential race would be welcomed
by the type of person who conceives
that fitness for office, patriotism and
citizenship, depend upon placing sheer
partisanship above national interest o,
who requires years Of demonstrated
participation in work with mechanical
politicians"

We are living In q day and age

there are those who live to learn
and profit: there are those, sadly
disappointed with their station in
life, who struggle on to make them
selves worthy citizens; there are
those denied the pleasures OF the
better-t -to-do" class and who are
some day going to find themselves
classed with the highest because OF
their ability to acquire merit and to
work diligently toward some goal
When all is said the one who Is de-
MED so many opportunities is the
one who, in the end makes the best

something in life for her to do; she
realizes that she must get a good
education and let no chance go by

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A letter published in your col

A peculiar letter, indeed. in COM
parison to the letters usually ap-

quite interesting. 1 have for some
time been reading the letters and
find them all more or less interest
ing, but have never felt inclined to
defend or argue against them. This
one however, especially interested
me, and even caused me to wonder
just trifie.
The writer seemed quite disgust
ed with the present-day girl. Per-
haps he has a right to be with some
of them, but 1t seems to me he
hasn't had patience and endurance
sufficient to look far enough to find
the right kind of a girl. One, of
course, cannot find girls made to
order-no more than can girls find
boys made to order. The majority
OF girls in Washington. Of course,
Will not come up to the gentle
mans strict ideas, but It seems that
the few there are ought to have
some credit for perseverence-for
II certainly requires no little
amount of this to live in, and work
with girls of, Washington, who care
for nothing more than fine clothes
and a stylish gentleman friend, who
wants to spend every cent he makes
in showing them what they term
a good time"
Again this gentleman Is getting
old enough that he should begin to
acquire some education with all the
advantages and opportunities Of to-
day and of his bygone days. Did he
not we should put him down as we
do all the other boys who do not
take advantage of the wonderful
opportunities of this day and age.

A PROBLEM FOR LAWYERS.

From Il. l.. TOTTEN:
A citizens association protested to
the Public Utilities Commission
against the practice of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany. exacting payment of bills in
advance. The commission deciled
that the practice was reasonable.
1t has always been my understand
ing that although a telephone con-
tract expressly stated that payment
for service Is required In advance
that legally payment cannot be ex-
acted until service has been rendered
for a period of a month.
A tenant may sign a lease for
premises and agree to pay the rental
for same in advance, but ! do not
believe that thr landlord could exact
payment until the tenant had received
value in rental for q thirty day
period.
The commission did not advance an
opinion as to whether the c. and p.
could legally demand payment in ad-
vance for monthly bills. Can you
throw any light upon the subject?
