HOOVER'S SPEECH

Hoover's speech of accept
ance strikes a high key. It is
pitched in a tone vibrant with
a higher idealism than is Gus
tomary in similar pronounce
ments. There is a frankness in
discussing issues which must
commend it to those who like
plain forthspeaking and detest
indirectness and camouflaging.
His utterances on the family,
equality of opportunity and
the spiritual values of citizen
ship as against the exaltation
of purely material progress are
noteworthy. His stand for the
enforcement of the Eighteenth
amendment is straightforward
and unequivocal, but one point
of weakness is evasion of any
reference to the equally i'm
portant enforcement of the
18th and 18th amendments
In its high governmental ideal
ism the speech is praiseworthy

And by the way, have you ever
