Herbert Hoover has had his
first public test in his journey
across the continent and has
come through with flying colors.
Kindly but firmly ignoring the
efforts of certain wellwishers to
dress his journey with circus
paraphernalia, he carried on dur
ing his trip in sober, dignified
manner just as he always car
ried on since he first became a
figure and a great personality in
world affairs.
Each and every candidate for
high public Office is obliged at
the beginning to resist those anX-
ious to have him adopt some
mannerism or characteristic which
they believe will add to his pop
ularity, or to shed some one of
his personal attributes which they
fear may be misunderstood, by a
public which has only f1eeting
glimpses Of the candidate.
President Coolidge was obliged
to check those anxious to broad
cast him as a genial baby-kissing
candidate, and to declare that in
being a candidate he did not in
tend to revamp his personality.
Those who watched Mr.. Hoover
on his journey say that he has
set his course also, and he will
continue as a sober minded exec
utive, campaigning for the most
dignif1ed post of authority in the
world.

There Is Charity

There is a pretty deep streak of kindness and
generosity in most people, if you care to look for it.
Not long ago a gang of bandits staged a holdup
in Kansas City. policeman, James Smith, inter
fered They shot him dead and escaped He was
survived by widow and several small children and
the future looked pretty black for them.
Then his fellow townspeople got busy. Smith had
died in the line of duty, defending Kansas City
against thugs would Kansas City his family suffer
poverty? Kansas City would not A collection was
taken to establish trust fund for them; then another
collection was taken to build them house. Now the
house is under construction, and nearly $4,000 has
been placed in the bank for the widow and children
People are, after all, pretty generous and kind if
you appeal to them properly.

Reflects New Sentiment

We do not need to believe that the
millennium has dawned, or is about
to dawn in order to recognize the
Kellogg treaty as of stupendouS i'm
portance. The best that can be said
for it is that it presages change
in world sentiment, not only toward
war, but toward the functions of
diplomacy.
The worst that can be said for it
is that it represents a substitute for
the League of Nations which the
Republican party felt obliged to
offer after having stopped this Gov
ernment's participation in the latter.
