Secretary of
Commerce

Political harpies are croaking
a big blow-up in the Harding

point TO Herbert Hoover as a
barrel of powder, a fuse and
match. All that's needed IS
some feather Drained politician
to do the ignition stunt. thew

Hoover has a profound scorn

peaurocrats in Washington sore
at him because he is irving ~

Even his fellow-ca binet mem
pers are getting a little chilled
towards him. They seem to
fear that they will get up some
morning and find that Hoover
mas recommended the total
anolishment Of their portfolio
on the grounds that a clerk
could run the job better"
Sure, Hoover is one Of the
cabinet members who has the

but that's no reason why he

partment OF Commerce. u was

came and can see the difference
in the way things are being

wants to. He can get a bet

If Hoover has any designs on
a job bigger than running the
business Of the greatest business
nation on earth he has kept
them to himself.
Here are a few sidelights on
the Secretary of Commerce:
He ISLANDERS who says Herbert
Hoover can't smife. The other
day a newspaperman made a
slip of the tongue and called the
Secretary of Commerce Her

smile eased the awed silence
that followed.
Hoover is an easy man to talk
TO. That's it-easy TO talk, too.
He makes you feel like you had
something to say whether you
have or not. This trait never
failed TO make a man popular.
No other cabinet member gets
the publicity Hoover does. He

One of the reasons for this is
that Hoover works a novel sys-

BY THOMAS r.. MARSHALL
Former Vice President Of the
United States.
INDIANA is now convalescing
from a sixty-day epidemic OF
leeislatis. Other states are
i suffering a like sickness. In
diana found that in the last two
years she had contracted 2s0 sep
arate and distinct ailments, for
which her doctors Of law gave her
treatment.
The worst part about these
diseases of states and the remedies
prescribed is the fact that by just
passing imaginary boundaries you
become automatically cured or
stricken. You may be staid mar
ried man in one jurisdiction, a d.
yorced man in the next and BRIDE
groom in the third. and then with
in the same twenty-four hours you
may pass into the state of bigamy.
This is thrilling and makes OF life
one moving melodrama which would
be fairly satisfactory IL some TOOL
officer in some fool state didn't try
to enforce some fool law.
1 have travelled in many states
lately and have come to the conclu-
sion that If a law-abiding citizen
wishes peaceably to pursue his way
through America without danger
of being haied into city police
courts, he should take as COM
panion a legislative librarian thor
oughly up to date in all the vir-
tues, vices and vagaries of legisla-
ton to keep him Informed as to
what he may lawfully do. In some
states, Louisiana for instance, he
should employ a local guide con-
versant with parish boundaries.

Decision of the commission that the

What does civilized society get
out of all this? Are these trials
worth while, as have been told,
because they point a moral? Per-
haps they are to conscience -strick-
en- souls. but to many more, in
stead of pointing a moral, they
point the way. A distinguished
criminologist, in discussing this
question with me, stated his con-
viction that one sensational trial
inspired many hundred girls to
flock to New York in the expec-
tation that they could duplicate
the high life and yet avoid the
tragedy of their fair and frail
heroine. No one save the lawyer
knows how much crime is caused

Of salvation. Perhaps evanselis-
tic work illustrated by movie
would fill the bill. I recall the
story Of Joe Jefferson that during
a mornings walk he saved a soul,
wiped away a mothers tears and
made eight dollars. Asked to ex-
plain, he said he had met at a
church door a mother carrying a
babe and weeping bitterly. who
told him the baby was dying, and
she had no money to pay the bap-
tismal fee. He gave her a ten
dollar bill. Emerging shortly
thereafter, she gave him back
eight dollars. The bill he had
handed her was a counterfeit.
