A Courageous Candidate
Columbus State Journal

At Montello, New, the other day a
proud mother held up her baby for
Mr.. Hoover to kiss. He refused to do
it, declaring fatty that he would
kiss no baby for publication. If
candidate has the courage to declare
himself thus on the baby-kissing is
sue, he has the courage for any
thing. He does not wish to kiss
strange babies, he knows that they
do not wish to kiss him and he puts
human rights above mere political
expediency. After this exhibition of
moral courage we are very sure that
Mr.. Hoover will not dodge a single

Edison Knows
Buffalo NezvS

There are very few people in the
United States who do not look upon
Thomas A. Edison as one of the
greatest men living in the world to-
day. Moreover, all would say that
his greatness rests on his brains
alone. He has not done things by
luck or inspiration. He has thought
them out. When a man with such
a mind speaks on any subject, the
wise listen.
Here is what Mr.. Edison says:
"In my opinion Hoover will be elect
ed. Smith is too much loaded with
associations which people do not
like"
The opinion of Mr.. Edison should
weigh much with those who do not
hold their own judgment superior
to any advice.

paramount issue on Nov. II.
Farmers Support Hoover

Afdmedd (Idt.J DAT
There will be no drift of middle
west farmers from the Republican
party in November. The farm revolt
never existed except in the fertile
imaginations of a few politicians
who had to promise their agricul-
tural constituents something and
could think of no better vote-getter
than high-sounding schemes for
making the farmer rich without
working.
Senator McNary has announced
his whole-hearted support of the
Republican ticket and predicts vic
tory for Hoover and Curtis in every
state of the Corn Belt.
Another farm bloc leader who has
climbed aboard the Hoover-Curtis
bandwagon is Representative Nor
ton D. Hall of Illinois, who was a
Lowden man and a McNary- -Haugen
last ditcher. This significant state
ment comes from his lips:
"The farmers throughout the Cen
trail West have no reason for leaving
the Republican for the Democratic
party. There is nothing in the
Democratic platform that would
give them any advantage over the
Republican platform. The farmer
realizes his difficulties in legislation
and will not take the chances that
go with changing horses in mid |
stream and then be carted off in a
chariot drawn by the Tammany
Tiger"
The farmers did not march on
City but they will march on
he polls in November to vote the
straight Republican ticket.

For Human Welfare
GloOersQiHe Nv. " Herald


Mr.. Hoover is a man of action. He
is not interested in theories. AS
chief executive, he would get re-
suits, or he would cease to be Hoo
yer.
1t is said that he is not a polite
ian, although he probably under
stand organization better than the
most successful politician. 1t is to
his credit that he does not play the
game of the average type of polite
ian. The cause of good government
has staunch and understanding
friend in the person and candidacy
of Herbert Hoover.
From almost every standpoint
Herbert Hoover is an ideal candi-
date for the presidency of the Uni
ted States. No man ever sought the
high office of chief executive of the
nation who had a keener interest in
hte welfare of the home and of
childhood than Mr.. Hoover.

After this we shall believe what
ever Herbert Hoover tells us. He
says he had no luck on his fishing
trip.-Harrisburg (Pa) Telegraph.
President Coolidge is sure that
Secretary Hoover will win in No

one of our shrewdest political OBJ

The fact that Hoover went fishing,
had typical fisherman's luck and
took the good natured jibes about
his poor catch with smile will
probably get a lot of anglers votes
for him.-Meadville (Pa) Tribune

Wisconsin is normally a pro-
nOunced Republican state, and can
be reckoned in the Republican col

has been carried by the Democrats
twice in the last forty years, in 1892
and 1912, and went Progressive for
La Follette's third party in 1924,
but in all other years since 1888 it
has been Republican. And it is go

Labor this year will vote Repub-

The fact that Hoover has en-

Assessment and enrolment Of the
large army of men and women who
have never before participated in
politics is to be actively undertaken
in Pennsylvania by party leaders
who are supporting the Hoover
Curtis ticket. From all sections of
the State reports have reached
that men and women
who have never voted are now anx-
lous to cast their ballots for the
ticket. The large per-
centage of women who are actively
taking part in the campaign sug-
sests the largest registration of the
female vote since suffrage was

No Grandstander


Hoover talks very little about him
self. He was so modest that Elt.
rope, which saw one of his great
jobs done, had to tell America how
much of man he was. Compliment
is said to make the man most un-
easy. He is at his best when actual
ly on the job He never prefaces
performance with any guarantee,
and when the job is done he doesn't
lie back and bask in a glow of self
satisfaction while his secretary
rings for the press agent. He is the
type that would vastly prefer to be
thought wrong than to below any
body into the conviction that he was
right. He is wise enough to con-
tent himself with approved accept
ance of his finished products.
He tersely summed up his own
philosophy in a single superbly
worded sentence. "Wisdom consists
in knowing what to do next rather
than in debate upon perfection"
And if any sage, ancient or modern,
ever unburdened himself of a choic-
er gem of speech than that it's too
bad school teachers don't refer to it.
He hasn't a grandstand play in
his entire repertoire. In these days
Of tabloids and turmoil Hoover's
personal bearing is like good news
from far country. He won't kiss
babies. He doesn't flute his sympa-
thies around in sloppy profusion. He
Is for the underdog without making
4 virtue of it.
The man may have a whole basket
Sull of faults like all the rest of us,
1ut as men go and as presidents go,
he looks like well-seasoned white
'ak timber, strong enough to bear
my load, and clean grained wood
rom the bark to the heart.

Comments of the Week
WHY He's for Hoover
Prof. IrVing Fisher of Yale


Mr.. Hoover is a practical econo-
mist and one to whom is due more
largely than to any other man i'm
provement in our prosperity. Under
him we may expect that improve
ment to be increased and extended
to all classes, including the farmer
now suffering from the after effects
of the defiation of 1920. Mr.. Hoover
knows, as few men do, the terrible
evils of deflation and imitation and
the need of avoiding both, if busi-
ness and agriculture are to be sta
bilized.
Through Mr.. Hoover, the depart
ment of commerce has been convert
ed into a tremendous force for saw
ing waste, for revolutionizing in
dustry and for the development of
the foreign markets of the American
business man and the farmer.

ers, or its railway lines or even its
military resources, but through the
fiber of its collective spirit. By what
they understood and felt and de-
sired rather than by what they
possessed, great civilizations of the
past rose or fell. What the Ameri-
ca of the future will know and feel
and desire are being determined in
the schools today.
The educational system of the
country, therefore, has a mans size
task to contend with. Sometimes it
seems necessary to wonder whether
it is equal to what it has to do. A
great many people are coming to
feel that the public schools and the
colleges are alike too ready to teach
worship of material success alone.
Other critics of the public schools
insist that their system of training
is sketchy, superficial and quite I'M
related to the unacceptable and
pressing realities of politics, busi-
ness, international affairs or every
day life itself. Certainly the old
and pleasant legends, and the old
romantic delusions of our untroub-
led past, seem largely to dominate
the thinking of the schools and to
obscure a good many unpleasant
truths, with which the country must
deal realistically now and in the fu-
ture.
You hear little in modern class
rooms of the hidden causes of wars,
Of the actualities of the struggle for
survival or triumph, of
he unpleasant facts of contempor-
Try politics or Of the meaning of
social cross-currents now felt, but
lot understood in many parts of the
world. The schools for their part
re up against the habitual unwil-
ingness Of people to face unhappy
ruths. Even the children nova
ays demand to be amused rather =
han enlightened. Life in America S
5 much easier for everybody than '
used to be. There is no great
eneral incentive to set generation
fter generation to toiling for know n
edge. There is instead a great h
endency to coddle and fatter the :
Oung in every sort of school, and h
lere are times when every road fl
lat leads to knowledge seems barri- o
lded by faddish and hampering de- ?,
ces of one sort or another. High Il,
hools, for example, must be glor- te
us in architecture and spacious nj
Id generally reminiscent of the II, Il,
gendary romanticism of college cI
e. Even in the junior grades the
lblic school children exhibit a
rong tendency to ape the manners
the universities, when instead -,
ey should be learning to spell. M
le most difficult thing that teach it,
S have to do, it seems, is to con- XII
ice many of the spoiled children Si t'
these times, that the public edu- SUI
tional system has a serious pur- tn
Sc, and that the knowledge which stl
seeks to impart to the Americans bU bT,
tomorrow, is not only necessary ex
a full and happy life, but may mt
ove in a crisis to be the best MI
ans of national defense.
It is often argued that public ~
lools and colleges will have to

their inspiration. The forces
