Quizzing Hoover on Floods.
(New York Times. )

Those who politics in everything see Presidential politics in the decision of the sen ate Commerce Committee 10 call Mir Hoover as witness in the matter of food-control policy. The idea is that he must either stand with MT. Coolidge in recommending that the flooded States shall bear than proportonate share of the cost of control must suffer the embarrassment of differing with his chief in advocating generous policy.
 Granted But what of it? To hold flood inquiry without calling MT. Hoover would be like playing Hamlet with the part of Ham let left out. Mir Hoover the floods. He went to the front-and the flooded States appre- cate his action. He is an engineer as well as a Cabinet member. He knows much more about floods than MT. Coolidge is at all likely to know. The country would value his opinion upon the proper method of control, and has right to it.
 The idea that the minute man becomes known a candidate for the Presidency he may shut up like a clam and avoid expressing him self upon important public issues for fear of dispeasing some powerful person alternating some fraction of the people or the politicians has little to commend it. In fairness to Mr. Hoover, we do not believe that it is his idea.

His record has been satisfactory to the people of the city

He is a graduate of the Juneau High School and the University of Washington, and has rendered the schools of this city panstaking and capable service.
 The candidates for the City Council, Walter P Scott C. II. MaeSpadden and Wallis S. George on the Citizens Efficiency Ticket and Dave House A. L. Lundstrom and Olaf Torkelson, on the Peoples Ticket. and q. Fagerson, independ- ent are all capable, earnest honest and patriotic citizens.

More or Less True

More or Less True
 It's almost as funny to see what women will take to get thin as it is to see what they will take to get married.
 A woman likes q man who is steadfast. but she doesn't like even him so killing much if he has no change.
 Another thing that is getting closer and closer to the vanishing point is the list of things consid- cred "unwomanly."
 One of the big mysteries of the day is where women get their scrub and window rags, how that there are no heavy undies and those other soft, white things to wear out to furnish the supply
 The bob now has reached that stage where the middle-age ladies talk about getting their hair cut again as long as man does about getting a tooth pulled.
 Sometimes we wonder if back seat driving isn't just woman's chance to get back at her hus- band for doing so much growing about her cooking and the way she keeps house.
 l. is amusing to see young folks pet in public. but when an old married couple get 10 puiiing that "lovey" and "dearie" stuff before company, your stomach begins to holler for bicarbonate of soda.
 If husband isn't much good it is sign his wife either has found other things more interest. ing to do than keeping him straight or else is a poor stick of a wife.
 We suppose a woman can feel as uncomfortable with an unpow- dered nose as man can with an unshaven face, but she has the advantage of being able to pow der her nose right in the middle of a conversation.

COOLEY rs THE MAN
FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR
AND IS CAPABLE

A. B. Cooley, republican candidate
for county surveyor, arrived home the
first of the week for a visit with his
family in Red Lodge, and was pleased
with the outlook for his election on
Nov. 6.
Mr. Cooley, in talking with a mem
Der of the News force, said: "For the
past five years I have been travelling
over the states of Montana, Wyoming
and North Dakota, also parts Of Idaho
and Colorado, and | haven't found a
place | like better than Carbn coun-
ty. In October, 1926, | moved to
Great Falls, later to Glasgow, but
could stand it only until June of the
next year, when | again moved back
to Red Lodge"
Having made his home in Red
Lodge for so long, has kept Mr..
Cooley in close touch with conditions
throughout the county, and being a
travelling man, has kept him well in
formed as to like conditions in other
places. He will be a valuable man If
elected, and as his home is here, he
will, of course, work for our best in
terests at all times.

BRILLIANT SCHOLAR
LAID TO REST ON
MONDAY AFTERNOON

The sad news reached Red Lodge
last week telling of the passing Of
William Spencer Ball in Denver Colo,
on Friday, Oct. 10.
The young man, who was almost lG
years Of age, was one of the most
popular youths in the city and his
passing was greatly mourned by ALL
He was a sunny, lovable fellow, one Of
the most popular and brilliant scholars
in the public and high school, and
counted his friends among both the
youths and the older people.
In August, 1927, William received
injuries from which he was recovering
at the time Of death He was receiv-
ing help in the Children's hospital in
Denver, having been there several
weeks, and it was thought in short
time he would be back home in the
usual condition as that prior to his
injury.
William Spencer Ball was the eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. G. Ball. He
was born Jan. 10, 1913, and was Is
years and 8 months old He went
through the grade schools in Red
Lodge, Miss Matteson being his first
teacher. Had he been able to attend
school he would have been a member
of the present junior class in the Car
bon County High school. That class
attended the services in the home on
Monday afternoon in a body, the
schools and business houses of the city
being closed in his memory.
Brief services were held in Denver
before the body was started on the
last journey home, and arrival was
made in Red Lodge Saturday evening,
the mortal remains being brought
from Bridger by car. The Rev. Frank
Durant of the Episcopal church spoke
words of comfort and beautiful song
was given by the P. e. 0. quartet,
composed of Mesdames Rowan, Nut
ting, Johnson and Foltz. The body
was laid to rest in the City mauso-
leum. All arrangements were handled
by the Martin mortuary.
William has passed on and while he
will be missed, he is leaving a memory
of winsome and cheerful youth. His
brief stay on this earth was one of
joy and courage. We all are better
for having known him.

NEW YORK PEOPLE
Do NOT WANT TO
SEE SMITH ELECTED

The Literary Digest poll for the
past week shows Hoover gaining all
over the country, the total vote fol
Hoover being 1,717,041, and Smith
971 1856. We are unable to give the
vote by state this week on account of
lack Of space.
The three largest city votes are as
follows: Chicago-Hoover, 98,363;
Smith, 7O,769. New York City-Hoo-
yer, 1O3,S47; Smith, 10000. Phila-
delphia-Hoover, 69,494; Smith, 49,
172.
The vote as given for the state of
New York is 215,548 for Hoover, 1885,
APO for Smith. Hoover is gaining in
the city of New York and in the state
of New York steadily, and according
to the Literary Digest, Smith is losing
his lead both in the city and also in
the state.
The attitude of the people of New
York state is strictly against Smith,
and as a local showing of that.feeling
we reproduce letter received last
week by Fred Lantz of the Red Lodge
police force. 1t is as follows:
Elmira, N. Y,
Oct. Is, 1928.
Mr.. Fred Lantz,
Red Lodge, Mont.
Dear brother:
One Of the main reasons / write
today was to ask you to vote for
Hoover. Please don't vote for Smith,
nor Jeff either, for we certainly don't
want Smith for president. We people
out here know we don't want him. He
isn't the man we want for president,
so please elect Hoover. Don't forget,
and convert all you can.
Your sister,
BELL.
