HOOVER IN THE CABINET.

The appointment of Herbert Hoover to a place in the Cabinet and his acceptance of the post that the Harding Administration will begin func toning with of the greatest real progressive of the Nation at the counsel table. There is no pairing .the progressiyeness of Mr. Hoover witt that of the noisy Professional Progressives. Mr Hoover lis not impractical agitator nor is he | demagogue He does not believe in tearing down our institutions, political, industrial social He is ar even tempered, well balanced thoroughly practical consructiye man of great ability, who possesse. vision and passion for moving forward and buildin up-for constructive progress He is the opposite 0 a Bourbon on the hand the opposite of Robe spere on the other. There is none of the sham re former about him He abhors the loud-voicee maker Of yote-catehing phrases, the selfish office seeker who tries to advance himself by promotne ends through practical means He organizes am advances in orderly manner with heart and brair co-ordinating.
 It is the most natural thing in the world tha MT Hoovers appointment opposed by the ''Bi Interests on the hand and the Professional Pro gressive on the other. He is broad for thos: al either extreme Mir. Hoover has the vision an, broad concepts and the scientific and trained minl Of President Wilson plus wide practical experience in organizing and in business and plus an under standlng Of human nature that has made him a gooC mixer He is one of the valuable of American citizens, and his presence in the Cabinet gives the people assurance that the new Administration vii lot be smothered by Bourbonism. The absence O any of the Professional Progressiyes in the Cabine had already given the people assurance against thu dangers Of demagogues and discontent promoters

The Importance of Roads.
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 There perhaps short-sighted people who tinue in opposition to road building and road improv because of the cost involved The cost oi improvement of any of the nations of transportation will be negligible in proportion to the value to the public of such improvements
 However it is possible that these short-v -visioned people might be reached by argument brought out during the recent meeting at Chicago of the American Good Roads Congress.
 lteracy adds nothing to the tax duplicate Prof. Tiden of Washington National Director of High ways and Highway Transport Education, brought out the significant fact illustrative of the relation be- tween bad roads and illiteracy, that in Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina and Mississippi where less than per cent of the roads improved, there 374 788 native white illiterates population of 7,S0o,000 On the other hand, in ssachusetts. Connecticut and Rhode Island where more than 30 native white illiterates in total population of G,025,OO0.
 Here are facts and figures which should engage the prayerful consideration those who consider road improvement in terms of dollars
 Uniform laws throughout the nation for the construction, regulation and maintenance of highways, urged by the Chicago Congress should be enacted.
 President-elect Hardings message to the Con sress indicates his sympathy with this movement and fereshadows his hearty cooperation in the work ot broad and extensive development And it is grati- fying to note that in years there has been developed nationwide realization of what Imperial Rome eXemplifed centuries ago-the essential value to nations security and prosperity of good roads

the eyes of the people of the North if they could witness the reunions of negroes who have been away from home and their white friends in the old home towns contrasts the attitude of the best people of the South and those of the North toward the negro by quoting Booker Washington, who said the South hated the negroes but loved negroes as individuals while the North loved them as a race and hated them individuals He is quoted further as saying that never in all his experience did he know a Southern white who did not place absolute confidence and give absolute and unselhsh friendship to at least negro, and he knew a Southern negro who did not have the greatest love for at least white man, and who would not serve him aud his interests to the point of laying down his life for him.
 However, this may be, and whether the Southern white man will let the negroes vote not, teLre is questioning the welcome the returning negroes are ceiving in the South, and the pains the white people going to for the prodigals notwithstanding they have very little work fer them at this time of the year.
