When Herbert Hoover says he is
going to rest, that rest is certain to
be definite and complete. That he
needs it is apparent to anyone who
! has even elementary knowledge of
fatigue symptoms. 1t is not physi-
cal weariness. This might be speed
lily and completely removed. It is
a fatigue of nerves and brain re-
sulting from the drain and strain of
campaign unprecedented in its in
tensity and in its application of mod
ern science to the art of getting
votes.
AS the newspapermen departed for
the telegraph sending rooms in the
Hempel House next door, the door
of their erstwhile work room was
quietly and firmly closed by a SER
want. Quietly and firmly a lock
clicked.
"Try to get into the Hoover house
now until the chief has taken a COM
plete rest!" commented a scribe.
What Was Made Plain
Several matters were made per-
fectly plain by Wednesday after
moons interview and the formal
statement to the public. In the or
der of their Importance they are:
1. Herbert Hoover will make up
his own mind in his own good time
in the matter of cabinet appoint
ments. If he wants advice-and it
is likely he will not want it-he
will go so quietly about obtaining it
that no one will know outside of the
adviser. The recent semi-oficial in !
timation from Washington that An
drew w. Mellon will be invited to |
retain the treasury portfolio may
dispose of that place. Deputy At
torney General William Donovan
may or may not be made Attorney
General, as official Washington be-
lieves. These names and those of
Borah, DR.. Work, Secretary of Labor
Davis, Franklin Fort, of New Jersey,
and number of others will be dis
cussed pro and con, while Mr.. Hoov-
er smiles and says no word. Those
who theorize will be welcome to
heir theories. The facts will, as he
said, in due course speak for them
selves. ,
2. America will see in the cere-
Monies surrounding the Inaugural ]
ion of President Hoover an example
# simplicity and economy which he
incerely believes is a true interpre-
alton of the real American spirit.
hat example will be an incentive to
new simplicity in living, a new
incerity of thought and action. It
yill not imply undue thrift nor such
tark baroness as will rob life of
Olor and richness. 1t will, upon the
ther hand, be a visible and eloquent
rotest against needless and waste
IL luxury, against such greedy ex-
'avagance as that which from the
avn Of time has marked the sordid-
selfish newly rich of all ma
ons.
The Hoover home in California, in
s exquisite simplicity, is a forecast
what that example will be, trans
ted to the White House. Every
ling is the best, but not a dollar
Is been wasted in the beautifully
AIMED and comfortably furnished
)me. Usefulness has been so
ended with exquisite taste and
ct that the effect is one of COM -
eteness and perfect simplicity. Il
