PICTURE OF HOOVER
Friends and Former ScllOOllnAtcs Insists He is Far From Being AlOof, Impassiye Man.

Stanford University, Cal, Aug. IS who have known Herbert Hoover since his school days find it difficult to understand how the public generally has gained a picture of the republican presi dential candidate as an aloof, inn passive man. They concede that he is somewhat different when on parade, and that he has an uncon- scious dignity or manner and bear ing, but they insist that he has a straightforward and unaffected sim plcity that must make one alto gether forget his official prom thence.
 Looking into his friendly, inter ested face, that smiles all over, with turned up wrinkles at the eye cor ners, one feels suddenly. surprising ly at ease. Even to children there is nothing of the awesome about him. On first acquaintance they feel inn mediately sure of sympathetic hear ing.
 When guests assemble on the back terrace of his home here, he moves about from one group to an- others. a big, comfortable figure 1T sack suit. Invariably friendly and approacha ble.

 MT. Simpson, who writes under the nom -de-plume of Putnam Weale," describes himself as an ad- wiser to the late war lord. His state ment includes allegations concern ing Japanese designs on Manchuria, declaring that the controversy be- tween Mukden and Japan centers on the railway question and masks struggle over the railways which the Chinese have built and are building in Manchuria.

HOOVER WATCHING
 THE SOLID SOUTH
Not Entirely Absorbed by East
 and Farm Issues

Stanford University, Cal, Aug. IS P-While there is general notion that Herbert Hoover is devoting most of his thought and attention at this stage of his campaign to the cast and agricultural middlewest, such is not entirely the case
 Developments in the ''solid south" :" lated start, probably hold as much interest for the republican nominee as those in any other section of the country. This is due in a measure to reports which were brought to him here at notification time. and also from that section as to the recep- tion of his acceptance speech.
 While it is still too early for him to formulate his plans for the two and half months remaining before election time, it is fairly certain ing at least at Memphis, Tenn, which was his headquarters during the first phase of his Mississippi flood relief work last year. Whether he will extend his itinerary to take in other cities further southward probably will depend upon condi- tions six weeks or two months from 1 now. It may be that he will go into Alabama and one or two other states from which have come re- ports of growing sentiment in fa- vor of his candidacy.
 | There will also be speaking en- agreements in the east, where lead. CTS are urging that he not only de- liver a series of addresses but also make special trips for conferences with state and district managers o1 the decentralized organization which he has insisted from the first would be set up for the purpose of carry ing the campaign into every cross road hamlet. These matters he no" 1 has under advisement.
 Setting out to strike a new note in his acceptance address. that of a call to the people to give their pa triotic impulses play in the relation ship with their government, Hoover has succeeded. in the judgment ol his advisers, who base their con- clusions on the tenor both of per sonai messages and editorial ex' pressions. These advisers predict that the candidates future speeche. will be pitched upon much the same plane; that they will express the abiding belief he holds that tho American people want to build 1T this nation a human society, not ar economic system.
 Hoover today was bending ever, effort to put the finishing touche: upon his second political utteranct of the campaign, to be delivered a his West Branch. la, birthplace next Tuesday. The speech is now 1T type and is receiving the final re vision. The nominee hopes to hav' 1t ready for distribution before h. leaves here Thursday night on tn return trip to Washington.
 While all the details of the home ward journey have not yet beer worked out, it is likely that thu itinerary for Southern California will include Long Beach and Pasa dena, after visits to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. If it does the nom inee will have a busy day Frida! from the time he reaches Santi Barbara at a. m. until his trail moves out from Pasadena for Arl zona early that night.

Criminal Investigation Commission Issues State ment Tapping Police for Two Years Alleged In- activity.

Chicago, Aug. Is R-The Chica- go crime commission poured another broadside against the police today.
 A report prepared by special in- vestigators for the commission charged that more than 60,000 crim- inal complaints made to the Chicago police in the past two years have been suppressed.
 Bombings have been written on the police record as malicious mis- chief" said the report, and attacks on women have been classified as "accidents.". Complaints of pocket picking have not gotten into the rec ord at all in some instances, the in- vestigators said.
 Although the report criticized practices alleged to have been pre- valent during the police commission crship of Michael Hughes, it was pointed out that Hughes himself had been of great assistance to the in- vestigators in uncovering the facts. It was made clear that neither Hughes nor his predecessor at the head of the police department Nor gan Collins, were responsible for the

 "Self-preservation meant then. as it always does. response to the call of duty" he said. Adequate de- fense meant the proper functioning of the entire organic life of the nation. That lesson. carried over into our peacetime activities. has been one of the chief factors in the enormous progress which the last 10 years have seen. It is a pro- cess that is yet only in its begin nings .. The foundation of it all rests on the determination of waste and the waster, and of slackness and the stacker"
 Praises War Veterans
 The chief executive paid tribute not only to the men who served in the United States army but to those "who contributed to the wartime charities, to the purchase of liberty bonds and to the payment of taxes. thereby contributing their prop erty."
 Those who possessed very large incomes paid into the national treasury 80 per cent of 1t. which, with their state and local taxes. came very close to taking over by the government of their entire property for use during the war; he told the legionnaires.
 We have had great deal o1 dscssion concerning the injustice of one person going into the service at very small remuneration while another remained at home in the enjoyment of very high wages. Blu, I wonder how many of you who put on the uniform and went into action overseas would now be willing tt exchange that experience for the few dollars of extra compensation that someone else was able to carr at home during the latter months I of the war"

WORTH REMEMBERING

Another Fourth of July Is here, marking the 152nd
anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of nde-
pendence.
Does it mean any more to US than the other ho
days in the year? Do any time during the day,
allow our thought to drift back to that mOmentous
July L. 1776?
1t indeed momentous. Modern historians may
bring to light this that fact connected with the
struggle for American Independence which may
change IN minor way, the story it has down
to US through the years, but the most important facts
connected with that struggle cannot be changed by
mere hair-spitting.
In such material atmosphere as we live in today,
how many of acquaintance would be willing
pledge their lives, fortunes and sacred honor for
an ideal? How many would be willing to defy consti-
tuted authority not for any hope OF benelttng them
selves, but for an ideal? How many would commit
treason. for ideal?
The sgners of the Declaration of independence
not afraid to cast everything that they had or
hoped to be- into the cause in which they engaged 1t
not bombast braggadocio that led John Han
cock to sign his large that the King of Eng
land may read it without putting his spectaces.
1t was not bravado that made Charles Carroll write
'of Carrollton after his name so the King of Eng
land may know which of the CAROLS to look for
These men had deep appreciation of the import
ance of their action They were influenced by the sub
lime desire to aid not only those of their time but count
less thousands who would come after them. They
sought not power for themselves, but freedom for
mankind. They were willing to die, If need be- for the
goal they sought.
Does it really matter whether they signed the Dec
laration the second fourth of July? Does it mat
ter whether Franklin really said this, Adams
Hancock did or did not do something which tradition
has attributed to them?
We think it does not. We believe the only thing
that matters is that this little group of real patriots
had sufficient and faith IN the righteousness
of their to defy the world and set up govern
of their and that in doing this they builded
far better than they ever dreamed. We believe the
American who let July Fourth pass without eX-
perencng deep of gratitude to those founders
the nation for the work they did, is not worthy the
name Of American.
