HookWorn0 Politics

Representative Brand of Ohio, ex-
coriates Herbert Hoover for the
presidency because he has been too
much abroad and has voted at too
few elections.
The idea is not original. and not
altogether unpopular in hookworm
centers.
There are a good many people in
this country who believe statesman-
ship consists in never quitting the
back yard, or scratching the ticket.
Not only Representative Brand,
but Senator Frank Willis for whom
his heart bleeds owe a great debt
to such people.

Construction of a flood prevention
wall between Tenth and Twenty
First SITS. was requested in letter
to Mr.. Fixit.
Dear Mr.. FiXit: If you will only
get the proper authorities interested
in providing. us with q flood wall
from Tenth to Twenty First Sts..
you will be performing a useful task
for the property owners in the
neighborhood
Ihere is SO much money spent for
parks and recreation of all kinds,
but the people living north of the
city hospital are in constant fear
of high waters each spring. The
writer has experienced two floods.
Now there is talk of new bridges at
Tenth and Twenty First SITS. and it
seems this is the time to provide
means of taking care of spring rains.
Hoping you will help protect US on
Montcalm st.
ONE OF MANY.
Flood Prevention Engineer Har-
vey Cassidy advised Mr.. Fixit that
the flood prevention work, already
contracted for, between Raymond
and Morris Sts., along White
River and the work contemplated
between Raymond and Washing
ton SITS. should be completed be-
fore a major improvement along
Fall Greek is contemplated. AS
soon as the present program is
finished it is probable that flood
prevention improvement along
White River, north Of Washington
st. will extend into Fall Greek to
point north of Twenty-Firs ST.,
Cassidy said.

Mr., Hays Clever Scheme


Speaking of the oil scandal, VIII
II. Hays certainly devised a clever
plan for paying of the Republican
campaign deficit without acknowl-
edging subscriptions.
The plan consisted of borrowing
Liberty bonds from those who
could spare them, then borrowing
money by putting up the bonds as
security and then using that money
to pay off the deficit.
Those who loaned the bonds had
not subscribed, and neither had
those who loaned money on the
bonds. which made it possible to
pay off the deficit without report
ing receipts from any one.
The system was all right, except
that it was discovered and exposed,
leaving Mr.. Hays and several other
folks in far more embarrassing
position than they would have been
had they pursued straightforward
tactics.

Editor Times:
In my Judgment the biggest
statesman in the United States to-
day is Herbert Hoover. He has the
finest grasp of national as we'll as
international matters of any man
in America.
1t was my privilege the greater
part of last July to make quite an
extensive trip trough Kentucky,
particularly through the flooded
districts. Herbert Hoover and the
Red Cross nurses were in Kentucky
at that time. Hoover die a wonder
full work in helping the people to
get on their feet again and today his
name is a household word all over
that State.
travelled by train, by jolt wagon,
on mule back and on foot and
talked with mountaineers in log
cabins as we'll as with business men
of the cities and it is my firm be-
State of Kentucky against any man
that the Democratic party can
nominate. Democrats as we'll as Re-
publicans are so grateful to Hoover
for what he did for their State
that they will vote for him no mat
ter who the opposing candidate may
be.
The Republican party can not af-
ford to make the same mistake that
it made in 1920. The people of the
United States today want states
man instead of a machine politi-
clan. 1t seems very poor policy to
nominate a pigmy for president,
when you can nominate giant. In
other words, it seems to me the
part Of good business to nominate
a first class man rather than take
up with a man Of third or fourth
rate caliber.
In my mind there is not the
shadow of a doubt that Herbert
Hoover can carry Kentucky in the
presidential election Of 1928, The
people of this country are looking
for a man Of backbone instead Of
one with wishbone. Very truly
yours, STEPHEN V. LEWIS.

ENGLISH PR|MATE
IN FINAL SERMON
Retiring Archbishop of Can.
terbury Says Church Is
Stronger, More United.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CANTERBURY, England, November
5.-ArchbiShop Randall Thomas David
son, preaching his farewell sermon in
the Cathedral last night, said he
had qualmS concerning the forcefulness
of the church on plain moral questions
although he was convinced that it was
far stronger and more united than
when his working years began.
In his review of his lifework as
archbishop, he said that without desir-
ing to belittle the gravity of the diff
cult questions now disturbing the
church (the prayer-book iSsue) ii
would be a mistake to regard these
surface troubles as the outstanding fact
in the Church of England today. He
said he was convinced that the church
was far stronger, has truer vision of
Gods purpose and is more united in
effort and prayer than it was when his
working years began.
But" he concluded, "are you salts
fed about the forcefulneSS of the
church on plain moral questionS-the
problems of married life, the tempta-
tionS of unmarried life, straightforward
ness in industry or in civic and social
fields? Does the church adequately
count? is its witness fearless? l know
full well the difficulties but do we face
them frankly and courageouSly? I ask
myself, and my answer gives me
qualms."
More than 5000 persons, including
many notables. gathered at the Cathe-
dral to hear the farewell of the arch
bishop.
After the service the archbishop was
escorted to his home by scholars from
Kings College, which has had age
long connection with the Cathedral.

LEGINsKA's vEsPER PROGRAM.

| LEGINSkA'S VESPER PROGRAM.
Ethel Leginska, favorite as pianist
with Washington audiences, made her
local debut in the capacity of conductor
of an orchestra at the First Congrega-
ton Church yesterday afternoon in a
vesper program. Her orchestra is
unique It is the Women'S Symphony
Orchestra of Boston, with a personnel
of women, although it was noticeable
that two young men participated yes
terday in the performance, one in the
reed and one in the brass section OF
the orchestra. The audience was large
and enthusiastic.
Paul De Long Gable, organiSt of the
church, opened and closed the program
with we'll chosen organ numbers.
Miss LeginSka and her orchestra will
give the entire program tonight. 1t is
more pretentiouS and includes. as well
Beethoven, the Hungarian Fantasie for
Piano and Orchestra" by Liszt, in
which Miss Leginska will be the soloist
as we'll as conductor, an unusual feat.
There also will be Glinka overture. as
prelude; Rimsky- -Korsakoff' Dance of
the Clowns" and, as postlude, Wagner S
overture to "Rienzi."
The Boston Women's Symphony Or
chestra shows full ability to produce
swelling fortiSsimos, and also, as shown
in Won Weber'S overture to "Oberon,' .
excellent balance in delicate soft tones
with true legato style. The trumpet
soloiSt had nicely rounded tones, with
out a trace of blatant quality. and the
reeds and tympani admirably supple
mented the we'll trained string choirS.
The evenings Soloist, Irma Seydell,
concert mistress (for it is to be sup
posed that she should be so termed)
has a fine, rich tone for her violin and
sure. firm phrasing. She played the
&c Minor Concerto of Bruch delight
fully.
AS for Miss Leginska as conductor,
much could be said The orchestra
itself speaks eloquently of her abilities,
with the fine balance and teamwork"
of it's performance. Miss Leginska
always presented a striking figure with
her individually hair and her simple
black velvet frock She is even more
dramatic as conductor than as a
pianist, yet there is reason for every
gesture and instant response from her
orchestra Hers is not sheer theatrical
ism: it is purposeful conducting and
highly effective. Perhaps the best way
to sum up 1Ieginska's power as a con-
ductor is to simply say that If the
reader missed the program yesterday,
by no means miss tonight's, for it will
mean missing rare musical treat.

NATURAL BEAUTIES OF NIAGARA MAY BE SAVED
International Board Works Out Scientific Plan Which Would
 Cost S1.s50,000.

Ottawa. Ont, Jan. co.-lP-The natural beauties of Niagara Falls, now threatened by erosion. can be preserved for future generations through Construction Of remedial works at q cost of $1.750,000, the special International Niagara board has decided.
 An interim report by the board, made public by Charles Stewart, minister of the interior. said that the tendency toward erosion. or the wearing away of the rock ledge, in the bend of the Horseshoe falls can be modified by work designed to dis tribute the water over the barred Hanks of the Canadian falls and to ensure a more dependable flow over the American falls.
 The report said the board had re- iected all plans calling for elaborate construction and decided that the type of construction best suited is a combination of excavations and sub merged Weirs carried from the shores near the Hanks into the ad- lacent main currents only far enough to accomplish the desired deflection of water to the Hanks. The board found that the most serious injury to the falls is the progressive barring of the Goat is land shelf and the Canadian flank. Other defects to be remedied are the thinking out of the American falls
 and of the rapids above both fale
 and of the flow between the Three 1 Sister islands and Goat island.
