A marine hospital service with hos pitals at important ports was cs- tablished by the government and 10 help finance the project each sea man was taxed c0 cents q month which wac collected by the treasury As a matter Of convenience the hos pital service which later became the Public Health Service. was put under the treasury department.

GROOMING HOOVER FOR THE WHITE. HOUSE. RUN

Some time ago, while in q pro phctic mood, we made bold to say that the grand old party candidate for the presidency would be Her bert Hoover. and that the Demo cratic candidate would be Governor Aired r.. smith Of New York. Of course. Nc know no moro about it than anyone else. but there is no telling what th" spirit of prophecy will do. This is free country and 70 venture guess is as free as breathing.
 our belief that Hoover and smith would be the candidates has in creased m momentum lately. pf Smith there scarcely Is i doubt left, despite tho dct"rminarion Of senator Rccd of Missouri 10 head for the Democratic convention with a bat ,orinS ram. Smith at. least has inc inside track in the affections of most Of his fellow pomocratr in tho north, those in the south are inclined 10 ho reasonably disposed and those in tho west are turning for him.
 The growing strength Of Hoover among Republicans has been not able and if proof were needed the broadside of the New York World against his candidacy on the score 0. ineligiblity can be cited, The World would not go gUnning for anyone not likely 10 justify such an effort. Hoover, so inc World says. may be ineligible because il is cal Culat"d ne has not been resident within the United States for 14 years. Hoover. born an American, has been in many parts of the world as professional duties dictated, and the calculators on the World haNe come 10 the conclusion he has miss ed ont on fl years residence in this country,
 Of course. the idea is foolish. Hoovors hirthplace was the United States, and it matters little whether he was active in China, Siberia, England and other places so long as i lie retained his American citizenship and had his business headquarters in America, as was the case.
 The Boston Herald has been un- kind enough to call the attention of the World to the attitude of the latter newspaper toward Hoover in 1920. on January 21. 1920. there | appeared an article which filled the entire editorial space for that day and in this article the World favor 1 cd Hoover for president irrespective l Of party. Hoover was declared to 1 have been the best qualified man tc succeed Woodrow Wilson, Coudi- 1 tions have changed since that time [ and the World need not in 1928 stick by anything it printed in 1927 any more than any other newspaper does, nor any individual need holt
 10 tn" same opinion for seven years
 But the fact remains that Hoover
 was regarded as having been resi- dent Of the country long enough tC be president.
 4 political battle for the prcsi d"ncy between Hoover and Smitl
 will be the genuine article. and vii bc no landslide for either Of them In these days when much alarm i!
 felt over the growing tendency o
 voters 10 remain away from th,
 polls, nothing could happen to in
 sure q larger attendance at tn,
 booths on election day. Smith woul,
 as Hoover, and Hoover as good tChanCc as smith.

It draws current from the high
