The Great Hoover Mystery
New York Times)

For four days all Washington, official and un-
official has been in flutter the question
what the president could have meant in his re-
marks about Secretary Hoover last Friday. Moth
ing portentous has been seen in the attitude of
a ruler since the days when, If Napoleon turned
cold shoulder to foreign ambassador, it was
known to war. But Mr.. Coolidge has now
happily cleared up the mystery-which was never
q mystery at all except it seemed to indicate
that the president had for once failed in caution
and perfect tact
He explains that Secretary Hoover's position is
so high and assured that reference to him could
possibly be taken as slight. This time Mr.. Cool
idge does not permit his language to be quoted di
recty, but the correspondents plainly given to
understand by the white house spokesman" tina.
nobody stands higher than Mr. Hoover in the
presidents respect and affection. Although there
is no recalling Of last weeks statement that the
secretary Of commerce would not be appointed Sec
rotary Of state should Mr.. Kellogg resign, there is
the gratifying assurance that Mr.. Hoover Is fully
competent to fill any position in the cabinet which
he might desire. Certainly more than this could
Be asked Of the spokesman. He evidently took to
heart the advice Of the old revivalist hymn:
Say. what i Il makes you moan?
Say, what u it grieves you?
Speak and let the worst be known,

OF Benefit to the SlOpe

1t is good to note that the highway department
is turning its efforts toward Fastening completion
of the Little Missouri river bridge in Mckenzie
county. Opening new outlet to the southwestern
part Of the state, the bridge will serve the dual
purpose Of tying the western counties closer to-
gether and providing new link in the scenic high
way through the Bad Lands.

country, but up to the present time, it might as

the north to south highway opens up new vistas.
The most valuable scenic asset of North Dakota
will be made easier Of access. This highway with
the new bridge facilitating travel will give the
western counties a greater chance for expansion
and development of their natural resources. Mis-

New Workers have failed to learn that Mandan is
just about 1000 miles away from these flood

on its geography for once For, in the midst Of q
page Of pictures titled "Scenes from the Disastrous
Flood in the Mississippi Valley" is picture which
reads: Laying Mats of Willows to Save the

What Equality Means

It is one of the fundamental tenets of our coun-
try that all men "are created equal; and We are
proud of repeating that statement.
We might just well bear in mind though.
that this statement refers to equality of right and
opportunity, not of Unborn ability.
This is emphasized by report of Professor
NJ " OShea Of the University of Wisconsin, who
has just completed an extended survey of the pub
lie school systems of a certain state.
He found that the children, far from being
created equal mentally, were in fact created very
unequal. Only IS per cent of them fell within the
normal mental age for the grades in which they
were enrolled; % per cent were above that mental
age, and the remainder were mentally below it.
This is worth remembering. We weren't all born
alike. Some men will always be born to be leaders
and others will always be- born to be followers.
Our task is to see to it that all are given equal
opportunities to develop the talents that lie with
in them. That is the extent of it.

N. %. Bird Notes

The song Of the chipping sparrow
is to the writer one Of the outstand-
ing points in the advance Of spring.
The different periods are marked by
the arrival. OF certain birds. The
wild geese and the robins belong to
the first period, that of the disap-
pearance Of the snow and the last
Of the nights with hard frde4es. The
song sparrows and flickkds come
with the first .bX.my d(ye. The
nights are still cool and cold days
are frequent. Pussy willows are
pushing out but it is yet too early
for flowers, though we feel like look
ing for them.
The chipping sparrows greet us
on some fine morning when the mild
weather seems quite definitely to
have gained the upper hand. Field
work is in progress and gardens
begun. The days are warm, some
times intentionally so, and we ven.

for the kingbirds and the orioles to
usher in the final stage Of spring.
the arrival Of continual warm wealth
or and the end of the frosts. But
that is vet two or three weeks away
ana we may expect in the meantime
another period or two of backward
weather and impatient waiting.
The chipping sparrows were named
"socialis" 1.-THE sociable sparrow) by
the ornithologist Wilson, and very
we'll do they merit the name. There
are few birds which seem more
strongly attached to mans dwelling
place. We find them nesting in a
bush or small tree in the dooryard
or among the vines on the side Of
the house. The nest might be de-
scribed as the conventional sparrow

long hairs. The eggs are blush with

fields where there are occasional

The migration continues at about
the usual rate, though there has been
comparatively little to report since
last week. There has been a consider

rows. The juncoes and tree SPAR
rows are still quite common.
The flickers have been especially
noisy about their nest finding. No
more white-throated sparrovs have
