MAN OF HOUR
By George Horace Lorimer


Editor, Saturday Evening Post
Herbert Hoover is essentially tn,
same man he was eight years ago
But like a tree, he has grown, thu
roots strike deeper, the trunk il
taller and the branches have {
wider spread. He is the same mar
with much more experience.
The manner of man nominated by
the Republican Party stands clearly
! revealed in his personal history and
in the record of his practical
achievements. Few men in public
life stand so clearly delineated. The
man in the street is able to Judge
how Hoover would act in dealing
with a problem of his life. A
prominent publicist once remarked
that Hoover is just a superbly eff
cient machine. This is untrue,
since Hoover is a man of deep heart
and broad culture. But so far as
the functions of public office are
concerned, to be called an efficient
machine would not frighten the
common man, because this is a ma
chine age and executives must un-
derstand it and know how to direct
it wisely.
The particular genius of Hoover
lies in the discernment and appro-
pirate application of practical meth
DDS, whereby workabilities are con-
verted into actualities. The needs
of the situation are first measured,
the human and material factors are
classified and appraised, then the
most effective mode of solution is
applied
The method of approach must be
suited to the circumstances of the
problem. To use a military anal
Ogy, some of the problems of mod
ern society need to be faced by a
frontal attack, others must be- out
flanked, still others must be reduced
by attritiOn. With a particular
problem, one form of attack might
fail while another would succeed,
just as in war.
In his manifold experiences in
and with business Hoover has prov
ed himself an exceptional judge of
the choice of attack. Hoover is a
man not of theory, but of practice.
Most of the problems of our age do
not need new mathematics or eco
they need the intelligent
of known laws and IA
miliar experiences. Also, they re-
quire unremitting effort, and quail
ties of leadership which Hoover has.
In knowledge of administration of
executive functions, of world-prob-
lens, of the problems of internal
administration connected with all
sections of the United States, floods,
agriculture, commerce, transporta-
lion, mining, shipping, manufacture,
lydro-electrical power problems,
vast engineering problems, con
lected with the development of
America and also in foreign prob
ems, Secretary Hoover seems to
be the appointed man of the hour.

. Your parents never knew much
about those cement, and hard-sur-
faced roads, until a few years ago.
Some of the principal streets of cit
les were paved, but there were
very few people who ever thought
the country would ever be rich
enough to spend millions of dollars
for such roads as we now have for
our automobiles. The Government
did not start to give the States half
the amount of money that new
roads cost until 1916. Most of the
hard-surfaced roads have been built
since that time
Only about twenty years ago peo-
pie thought that nobody except the
very rich could ever afford to buy
automobiles. In 1905 there were
$4,000 automobiles in the United
| States; in 1910, 100000. Now
there are between twenty and twen-
ty-five millions. In one of our great
factories a car is made in a day, and
given several coats of duco, as this
material dries quickly, whereas it
used to take several weeks when
paint was used. And there you are,
with a pretty car.
THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT
When approaching Washington by
train or automobile two of the out
standing sights the travellers first
behold are the Capitol Building and
the Washington Monument.
The Washington Monument is an
obelisk. 1t is 555 feet high and SIS
feet square at the base, tapering to
"a feet at the top. 1t has a pyra-
mid shaped section above, and ter
inmates in pyramid of pure alumni
NUN. The walls are Is feet in
thickness at the bottom and taper
to 1S inches at the top.
The WoOlwOrth Building in New
York has go stories and is 1872 feet
high. The Metropolitan Life Build
ing is 700 feet high; the Singer
Building is 612 feet high. They are
often compared with the Washing
ton Monument because they reach
higher to the skies. Those who
make these comparisons should stop
to consider that the high buildings
of New York are structures of steel,
cement and stone. But the Wash
ington Monument is wholly a work
of masOnry-the highest structure in
which stone sits upon stone that
there is in the world.
Soon after Washington's death,
John Marshall, afterwards Chief
Justice of the United States, caused
Congress to pass a resolution pro-
v1ding for marble monument to his
memory. 1t wa sninety years later,
in 1888, that this monument was
opened to the public, though it had
been dedicated five years earlier.
The cornerstone was laid July 4.
l84S, and in the next few years the
sum OF 100000 was raised by pub
lc subscription. The shaft obtained :
height of 152 feet by 1855; then
he funds having been exhausted the
was suspended, and it
vas not resumed until 1878, a laDse :
Y p years. The Government COM :
'leted the Monument, and it's total :
'ost was $1,3OO,OOO :
Visitors to Washington usually =
lotice that the stone in the lower
81 feet is of different quality than o
hat in tAe upper portion of the i
lonument. This is due to the fact a
hat the first stone came from the c
uarries of Quincy, Massachusetts. a

NATIONAL NEWS OF INTEREST
TO EVERYBODY WHO READS
Written for this Paper by
FRANK p. LITSCHERIT

There was one paragraph in Nh

spaces of the country or in the vii.
lage and small city which were
closely interviewer with the life oil
the surrounding country; commune
ties which a great many city dwell
lers still like to designate as ."out in
the bushes" although these towns
and small cities have developed un-
til they have the comforts and many
of the advantages of the metropolis
itself.
This paragraph from Mr.. Hoover's
address is as follows:
There is no imprint upon our
minds so deep as those of early boy
hood-mine are the joys of Iowa
the giories of snowy winter, the
wonder at the growing crops, the
joining of the neighbors to harvest,
the gathering of apples, the Pilgrim
age to the river woods for the an
nual fuel and nuts, the going to
school, the interludes from work, in
the swimming hole, fishing in creeks,
the hunting for prairie chickens and
rabbits in the hedges and woods
it is the entry to life which L could
wish for every American boy and
girl. Again today l have had re-
freshment of spirit in return to
these scenes. The swimming hole
is still in use. 1t has the same mud
bank. 1t is still impossible to dress
without carrying mud home in ones
inner garments. AS an engineer l
could devise improvements for that
swimming hole. But l doubt if the
in mothers grief at the
of muddy boys would
compensate the inherent joys of get
ting muddy"
There are few men who grew up
in the country who have read the
above without sensing a real thrill
coming up from the forgotten days
What person who has partaken of
the joys of the old swimming hole
and the fishing hole in the summer
of the blossoms in the spring, the
bon fires, the gorgeous woods, with
the nutting and hunting in the fall
and the great bob sleds in the win
ter, can ever forget the simple but |
thrilling joys which the open coun-
try afforded him?
1t is of course true that the city |
thirty or forty years ago held the |
greater advantages in the way of |
streets, better schools and |
more comfortable homes, but there
was nothing quite like the broad !
open spaces whether it was in the
spring time or the more
autumn. Somehow or
other the simple pleasures of the
country made up for the busy city /
streets with their bright lights and
he rush and roar of traffic. And al
hough the schools were simpler and
ess pretending, it was possible even
,asy to learn, and there were fewer
diversions at night to take youthful
minds off the studies, although there
vas plenty of fun for all of that.
That it was possible to learn is
by the number of our great
nd successful men who were in the
mall town and country schools of
lirty and forty years ago. A great

Extension on Great Northern
to Circle to Be Resumed

1t is reported on good authority that
the laying of steel rails will be re-
sumed on the Redwater branch, at the
divide, or rather Rimroad, by the 25th
of this month.
This is about week earlier than at
first planned, but work at divide on
both cuts and bridges has been max
ing good Roadway.
1t is planned to lay rails from the
present terminal at Rimroad, to the
divide, and then build a spur of about
a quarter of mile to a gravel pit
so as to get gravel for ballast work
with a closer haul.
By the time this is done all of the
road bed from the divide to Circle
will be completed, and laying of rails
will be pushed forward with all posi-
bic speed, and certain to reach Circle
not later than May 25, possibly con-
siderably earlier.
Inc dirt movers along the line are
on the "home stretch" now and MANY
OF the sub-contractors will finish up
IN another week or ten days.
The bridge crew has been making
good Roadway at divide this spring.
All of the bridges are now completed
with the exception of one, through the
bad lands at divide. Last Sunday the
crew moved onto the last big bridge
which is being built south of the Goff
ranch, near the Carl Wittkopp place.
With tie completion of this bridge the
line Will be ready for rails clear thru
to Circle.

CANADIAN MINERS TO
STRIKE ON MAY Isl

Lethbridge, Alberta, April a.
Members of the Mineworkers Union of
Canada, in the southern Alberta coal
fields, have voted Overwhelmingly to
strike unless their demands are met
by the coal operators. The vote was 8
to l to lay down tools on May 1.
The principal demand of the miners
is recognition of the all-Canadian
union formed following the breaking
away from the United Mine Workers
of America two years ago. The new
union claims about 1000 members in
Alberta and is now organizing on
Vancouver island.
There seems to be little dissatisfac-
ton over wages and if recognition is
granted by the operators the miners
are expected to continue working.
