Why Hoover

In 191S when Woodrow Wilson issued his plea for
the election of Democratic congress that his in
ternatonal program might be successful Herbert
Hoover signed the call, thereby flying in the face
of the Republican campaign committee and of al
those to whom party success the beginning and
the end of politics.
In 1920 when Hoover being prominently men
toned as possibility for the Republican presidential
nomination, he suddenly announced that he would
not declare his party utilization whether Republican
or Democratic) until he was informed to what the
platform makers of the two major parties intended
to stand for.
At time when the leaders among the Repub-
lican politicians turning against the League Of
Nations, Hoover came forth with declaration in
which he characterized the league paramount
issue.
When the Jacksonville mine conference was on,
Hoover sponsored the agreement, against which
the employers had strongly set themselves.
With Dwight Morrow of the House of Morgan,
contending that the government had no right to
scrutinize loans that American bankers willing to
make to European countries whether such loans
might be for powder and poison gas or for farm
machinery and rehabilitation), Hoover contending
that loans to nonpaying foreign debtors except for
productive purposes" were dangerous opposed ap-

This newspaper has expressed the belief that Hoov-
er, of all mentioned to date having chance for
the 1928 Republican nomination. is the best in the list
The events in Hoovers public life cited above,
stitute our reason for that belief
Not that we agree with Hoover's position in each
of those events, but
because we think they typify what the Republican
party today most direly eeds-independent thinking
and courage in its leadership.
The Republican party Is a long way down the
hill from the high peak of Lncolnian Rooseveltian
idealism.
Its political philosophy has to represent one
thing and one thing only-that which is. The weeds
Of political sugpess have grown rank in the garden
of its party success Its sole slogan the status quo
To stay in the saddle and to let well enough alone
beyond that, nothing matters
Newberryism may flourish, the Falls and Dohenys
may plot Varesm may thrive, Jess Smith and
Daugherty may go far they like, and Stephen
sonism may dominate Indana-so long the party
remains in power In the conduct of convention af-
fairs, what happens in the committee resolutions
amounts to little, but what in the committee on
credentials counts for everything
Political and social progress are not bred in such
an atmosphere.
Yet that atmosphere most certainly has surrounded
the last eight years of Republcanisn1.
The reason, this newspaper believes, has been a
lack at the top of just such qualities of independent
political thought and action those demonstrated
by Hoover when he Haunted the party brand, offended
the party leaders, went against the power of the mine
operators and rritated the House Of Morgan

Job for Public Schools

We are teaching our children
how to do things, but are we
teaching them what to do-what
is right, what is important, what
is sensible?
1t takes the same kind of tech
nical skill to make safe as to
crack 1T. Something deter mines
the direction in which that tech
nical sim G4,An be used. Are we
paying enough attention to that
ASPECT of education?
Back Of the law are certain
conceptions of justice and ethics.
How can we have law abiding
people, much less people who I'M
derstand the law, if these con-
ceptions are not impaired to each
generation2

and Sunday schools, with that

MeXiCo'S MuSSoIini

The figure of Gales has grown
by leaps and bounds within the
past two weeks.
The collapse of the revolution
leaves him almost solitary in his
bignesS on the Mexican horizon.
Were he has been regarded as
a strong political leader, he is now
looked upon as a virtual dictator.
He can become a Mussolini if
he chooses.
Already a movement is on foot
to change the constitution so that
he can serve two additional years
If not an additional term.

Obregon's Candidacy

The most interesting feature of
the changed situation in Mexico
is its effect on the candidacy of
Former President Obregon.
He has been the candidate for
the Gales faction, and the full
strength of the administration has
been placed at his support.
Since he has served one term,
the constitution would have to
be amended for him to be eligible
for another, and the Gales adj
ministration has advocated such
an amendment.
If the constitution must be
amended, however, a good many
Mexicans are wondering if it
would not be more sensible to
amend it in favor of Gales rather
than Obregon.

has been eliminated and that diff
ferent sets of principals do their
stuff between feature numbers of
the orchestra. There is real must
cal quality to many of these num-
berS, such as SHADOW Song" from
'Dinorah," as done by Miss Rose
mary Pfaff, who has taken the
stage name of just Rosemary. She
is truly fine artist as to voice, be-
cause she has been not only splen-
didly trained, but has had the ex-
perience of several years engage
ment with high powered and sala-
ried entertainment. This is the
song which most people remember
Galli-Curci, because it is filled with
flute high notes. Beautifully done
by Miss Pfaff with orchestral back
ground.
The opening number has that
better quality because a group of
six men to orchestral music sing
choruseS from 1.-The Student
Prince" and "The Prince of Pilsen."
Al and Ray Samuels are tap dancers
of real class and ability. The
eccentric dancing of Paul Howard
is a gem. Here is man with real
mean feet and even "meaner"
kicks. He stops the show.
Peggy English is we'll known on
monograph records and she sings
several numbers. Charles Rozella
is an eccentric musician, who plays
musical instruments done up in
strange attire. The finale is well
done as it blends jazz and classical
music in which nearly all of the
principals take part.
Charlie Davis as master of
ceremonies is feeling more at home
each week and this is bringing a
clever smoothness to everything
that he does. The orchestra is do
ing the same thing.
Shanghai Bound" is one of those
fighting Chinese things which has
invaded stage and screen since 1.-THE
Shanghai Gesture" caught on with
such telling box office effect.
In this story we see modern
China as the movie story writer's
understand it for screen purposes.
Here we see a gang of, bad Chinese
bandits making IT mighty un-
pleasant for both good Chinese as
well as foreigners.
Here we see Richard Dix as the
supposedly captain of Chinese
freighter. He protects some Ameri-
cans from the bandit mob and the
rest of the picture shows how he
fought and outwitted the mob
while the boat was. going through
a narrow pass. Here we have some
good underwater fighting, but I got
the idea that the climax was not
long enough to warrant the length
of the proceeding action.
Much attention is given to the
way that our hero tames a bunch
of society snobs, who seek shelter
from the mob on his boat. Mary
Brian is chief in support.
Maurice shows how many in
struments a pipe organ has con-
cealed. A good novelty well played.
Bill includes other events.

Showing how easy it is to steal
does not prove that honest folk
are thieves, yet that seems to be
the sum and substance of DR..
Dorothy Logan's logic
She fakes channel swim and
says it proves what others could
have done, or might have done.
AS matter of ordinary COM
mon sense, it proves nothing of
the kind.
The fact that she climbed into
a boat two hours off the French
coast, stayed in it until she was
within half an hour Of the English
coast and then swore falsely that
she had swum the channel merely
proves what she was willing to do.

Reflection on Education

The Democrats are quite as bad
off as the Republicans when it
comes to inability to think of
more than one candidate.
Neither party admits that 1t
has more than one or two presi-
dental possibilities. 't
Perhaps, that is true, but if so,
it is sad reflection on our costly
system of education.
With all our colleges and uni
versities we ought to have pro-
duced at least score of men in
each party, and one of whom
would be worthy of the highest
Office in the land, and we ought
to have produced intelligence
enough to recognize them.

Arson by Firennen

Once more Long Island volun-
teer firemen engage in arson to
strut their stuff.
This is another reflection on
our costly system of education.
In this instance, as in several
others, the boys who set fires in
order to show what good work
they could do putting them out,
come from good families, have re-
ceived the benefits of public school
training and were regarded in
their home community as emil
nently respectable.
They failed to realize their re-
sponsibility as servants and mem
berS of society.

not a single word of commenda-
ton for even such a close asSo-

He is so far gone as to believe
that public sentiment will SIAM

in office?
6. Do you believe that hand bills
of the type that were recently dis

buys her as many bracelets as she
can lift. He is the rough, big
hearted idol of all Spain.
While not commonly presented In
the opera the cigar factory fight is
an integral part of the develop
ment OF the character OF Carmen.
In this fight the wantonness of the
girl is shown. Carmen and the girl
who worked by her side are always
quarreling and finally come to
blows. Much hair is pulled and
clothes torn to pieces. She shows
that she is wildcat and sweeps all
opposition before her. And then
the captain of the police falls be-
fore her wiles.
The vamp of today had nothing
on Carmen. In fact, she knew little
more than they do today. But the
soul Of the woman finally tri-
umphed, and when she had been
stabbed by Jose and was lying on
the promenade Of the bull ring she
bids the young man save his life
by fleeing, and she smiles, for she
knew that the bad luck signs she
had seen that morning could not
hurt Escamillo, who had now tri-
umphed over another bull.

closely the opera, Carmen" and

To the Editor of The Times:
Some philanthropic and benevo-
lent individual could, right now, do
John L. Duvall a signal favor by
rescuing him from his friends.
His voiced declaration that he will
stump" the city and convince the
voters that he is very much per-
secuted man. and that he is entitled
to their confidence, shows him suf-
fering a hallucination that is pitt
able in the extreme.
Doubtless this ill-conceived ges-
ture has been wished upon him by
friends (?) whose daily income is
dependent on contact with the city
pay roll.
There is not a voting precinct in
the city in which respectable
sized audience could be mustered
that would be in a frame of mind
to give him respectful consideration
to any plea of commiseration and
commission.
From the street urchin to the Ma
opleons of finance and industry,
people in all walks of life regard
him as man who, has been
weighed and found wanting" His
present status is aptly stated by a
well-known passage from Bobby
Burns:

To see ourselves as other see us;
