Searching for Partisan Flyspecks

To- +ber eaoerness to defeat Hoover, some of the
professional politicians in the Republican party are
going over his history with magnifying glass ana
a fne-tooth comb, hunting for some irregularty in
his Republican orthodoxy.
Having found no fyspecks on his American
patriotism or his splendid record OF achievement as
a public servant, they have examined his Repuohcan
nose to see whether it always has worn a ring pun
there by organized partisans
But about the only serious crime they find 1ndlct-
able Ia the fact that in 1918, when he was serving
his country along with thousands OF other patrlouc
citizens of all parties appealed to the country to
stand by the President That may be crime in the
narrow ewes of hide-bound partisans but to the great
majority of patriots in the Republican as well as
Democratic party standing by the President when
the country is at is virtue rather than vice.
At that time Hoover's mind was on his job as 1000
administrator and, was the case with many other
patriots he was thinking Of his country rst-and as
a constructive engineer and not destructive poll
tican.
It Is that patriotism and willingness to see his
country as a whole that makes Herbert Hoover so
popular with the great rank and file Of the party
with which he chooses to align himself when politics
is in order for they too patriots first and partl
sans afterward.
There are partisans who wouldn't look at a gor
sunrise WlCnOuL Trying uJoPCON OA AV
There are partisans who make their living at
politics. There are partisans who prefer midnight
presidential nominations and administration that
would wink at booze and poker parties in little
green house K st.
There are partisans who believe that to the VIC
toru belong the spoils, even when the spos involve
naval oil reserves and the robbery of sick and in
jured veterans.
There are~even partisans like Frank B. Willis OF
Ohio, who will lift on high lusty voice to proclaim
that the man whose name has been given to Daugh-
ertyism is Cleaner than hounds tooth"
And it is the politicians of this type who are doing
all they to the sinister and invisible inter-
ests that don't want Hoover for President, because
they know they can't get into office under Hoover
the kind of regular" partisans who will grab and
distribute
n That's why it is of supreme Importance that the
will Of the honest rank and file should find express
sion in the selection of delegates to the Republican
national convention; for that means nomination
in the broad light of day instead Of in smoke
filled hotel bedroom at midnight, under the clever
manipulation of the political strategst who, Senator
Willis insists is cleaner than hounds TOOTH" and
who is busy again in Ohio putting up anti-Hoover
delegates.

Fit for Officer

When you contrast the eager
longings of such man as Willis
with the candid modeSty of such a
man as Hoover, you get a vivid
impression Of what constitutes the
real element of weakness and
strength in a Democracy.
Hoover has given his life to pub
lie service for the past fifteen years,
asking nothing by way of reward
except a chance to do his duty in
such places as the public might
select.
Though glad to accept the presi-
Dental nomination if it comes to
him as the voluntary judgement of
his fellow citizens, he refuses to
make an open bid or a personal
campaign to obtain it. More than
that, he refuses to engage in such
political trades and commitments
as the ordinary politicians believes
are necessary.
The people of Ohio have q chance
to show what they think of that
kind Of man as opposed to one
who is ready to Shrek his head off
for the highest place within the
grist of the country, and who does
not pause to ask himself or anyone
else whether he is fit TO occupy it.

Beings Ont of Sky
by BRUCE CATION

A woman in Cleveland the other day killed her
three WeekS-old son. She explained II love him
too much to let him grow up face the poverty and
struggles I've been through"
Every so often, just when get lulled into q
condition Of contented satisfaction with the world
as it seems something like that pops up in the
papers to jar us out of it.
That little paragraph about the woman who
killed her son tells of tragedy as poignant any
dramatist ever wrote Think of the misery, the
suffering, that must have filled that wonanS life
to turn her mother love for helpless baby into a
channel like that. And then see if you too aren't
Jared out Of your placid acceptance of this world
y-gong place where all things work to-
gether for good
1t is good for to be Jared like that once in
while For we too easily forget that life is not always
a safe and sane round of working and playing anC
eating and sleeping. There is more to it than the
encountering of uneXciting joys and the endurance
of unimportant dsappontmentS. 1t has infinite pos
sibiitieS; sometimes it is dark beyond belief and fol
some of its tragedies can find no solution, no
rational explanation.
Yet that is not the whole story.
If life can be cruel bitter, uncomfortable, it can
also be more meaningful and glowing than
dream 1t drop us into deep valleys but it also
has towering peaks, shining in the sunlight, which
we may scale. 1t holds possibilities of ecstasy as
1t was something like this no doubt that the old
time makers of fables had in mind when they peopled
the world with fantastic succession of satyrs aeg-
pans demons and witches and wove stories about
who had sold their souls to the powers of dark
ness and so had descended lower than the lowest
beast. There truth in those old fables For they
presented a world which, while filled with lurking
shadows and half-Seen shapes of horror was at the
time world of surprising beauty and majesty
If there demons hiding in the night there were
also slender gods and white-boded nymphs sunlit
slopes.
Most of us lead lives that are pretty we'll padded.
Our efficient age gives automobiles and radios
and moving pictures and similar inventions that
lul us to an easy belief that life is not so very
puzzling, after ALL
But once in a while we are Jared into realiza-
ton that we are wrong. And it is good for us. We
need to rediscover our potentialties; to learn
that we were meant for the utmost extremes
of being; to find out for ourselves that the most COM
monplace village street, lined with sleepy frame
houses is temporary stopping place for beings who
have come down out of the sky.

Rose Dreams

The pathetic part of the Ohio
situation is that Senator Willis &C
tually thinks he can be nominated,
The idea is borrowed, of course,
from what happened at Chicago in
1920, when Harding was the bene-.
ficiary of one of the most amazing
compromises ever Matched, but that
makes it no less real in his mind.
The dream of just such dead
lock as occurred on that occasion.
and Of just such denouemerl, with
himself in the title role, evidently
has given rosy tint to his path
and ambition for the last several
months.
1t requires no stretch of the i'm
agination to picture how a man of
his temperament would become in
fatuated with such q vision. Strong
for precedents, as he obviously is,
the one established by Harding
eight years ago must have appealed
to him as the grandest ever.

Young Rockefeller's Wise Words

1t was fine thing that John D. Rockefeller, Jr,
did in urging Robert w. Stewart to give the Senate
oil investigators every fact he had that they might
want. public spirited act-and also wise one
For the whole oil industry is suffering because Of
the attitude of the officials who have been called
for questioning by Senator Walsh 1t is idle for them
to protest against "condemning man before he has
had his day in court" for four years the Govern
ment has been trying vainy, to get this business
settled by the courts and the delays are, without
ception, the fault of the Oil men.
Public suspicion is aroused, and it will
brace the entire oil industry And the oil indus
try very soon will be wanting the Government to help
solve problems of production and foreign price
How sympathetic do these oil men think the
Government is going to be if the public has grown
to regard all the leaders of the industry sneared
with the slime of Teapot Dome?

TRACY
SAYS:
"The Pathetic Part of the
Ohio Situation Is That
Senator Willis Actually
Thinks He Can Be Nom
inate9."
SAYS:

With Hoover entering Ohio,
Smith demanding mo straddle" on
prohibition, Tammany ordering a
"non-hip toting" delegation for
Houston, and profits of the Con-
tinental Trading Company traced
to Republican headquarters, we may
conclude safely that the 1928 cam
paign has begun.
Not that the news Is startling or
unexpected, but that the signal
gong seldom fails to give us thrill,
no matter how sure we have been
as to the exact moment it would
go off.
Most people have felt that Mr..
Hoover would give Senator Willis a
chance to strut his stuff at the
proper moment. They have felt,
also, that Governor Smith would
insist on constructive platform
with regard to prohibition.
A "non-hip toting" delegation
from New York is too strictly in
accord with Tammany methods, as
we'll as what the situation demands,
for anyone to be shocked.
The oil scandal has presented too
many unlocked for angles and has
been discovered behind too many
unguessed doors to make the fact
that some of the ill-gotten profits
went to pay off the Republican cam
paign deficit of any particular
consequence.

The Charm of Banditrv

There died in Italy the other day 93-year-old
patriarch who rejoiced in the title of 1.-THE last
the Italian brgands." During his lifetime he had
been credited with more than thirty murders and in
his youth ne was known as "the wolf of the Sila"
1t Is rather odd when you stop to think Of It, how
much such man always hold our interest
Notorious bandits to exercise a great fascna-
ton for all of u.s. biographies of such men as Jesse
James, for instance, are selling like hot cakes all
over America.
Why is it? Is it because we are so hedged about
with rules and regulations that we have sneaking
admiration for a man who defies all -iawsP 1t
would make interesting study for a psychologist.
