WRITER SAYS COOLIDGE DID
NOT PUSH HOOVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. ls.-Did

Up to that juncture not a peep
from Mr.. Coolidge had indicated
that he even knew who was nom
mated in June at Kansas City.
But now" said everybody. "he'll
give Hoover a grand send-off."
A microphone had been set up in
front Of the executive mansion for
Calvin to make his speech into, and
to transmit Mr.. Hoover's response
to waiting millions. Everything
was fixed-the republican campaign
managers were Just that certain that
an occasion had arrived when the
president couldn't get out of giving
a big boost to the party's choice as
his successor.

Timely Views
CHANGES ADVOCATED IN DEPARTMENT
OF STATE
By STEPHEN PORTER

~tStephen Geyer Porter was born near Salem, O..
May Is, 1859. He attended high school at Allie
gheny, Pa studied medicine two years, and read
law with his brother. He was admitted to the bar
in 1893 and since then has practiced Law in Pitts
burgh, Pa. He was elected to the house of repre-
sentatives in 1911 and has served continuously, his
last term expiring in 1929. He is chairman of the
house committee on foreign affairs and Is a re-
publican. His home is in Pittsburgh.
The growth of population, industry, and trade in the
United States and the increase in the number OF Amer
leans interested in foreign trade, together with i'm
proved means Of international transportation and COM
munication have thrown large additional duties and
responsibilities on the secretary Of state, his assistants
and their subordinates. constituting the home service.
The assistants to the secretary and the home service at
Washington prepare and issue instructions dealing with
the foreign policy Of the country, to be received and
carried on by the foreign-service Officers abroad.
The compensation Of these home-service officers Is
grossly inadequate in comparison with compensation
paid to officers Of the foreign service who receive and
carry out instructions from the department., as witness
the recent preparation ard delivery Of the international
peace documents exchanged between the United States
and France in the past year.
1t is not consistent with good administrative prac-
tice to pay smaller sala ries to officials Of the depart
ment Of state who prepare and issue instructions than
to officials in its foreign service who receive the in
structions. In view of the greatly increased duties at
the seat Of government, there should be enc additional
undersecretary of state and two additional assistant
secretaries OF state.
1t has been the custom Of presidents to choose the
heads Of the executive department and their assistants
from citizens who have distinguished themselves in
civil life. rather than from persons holding offices IN
those departments, thus avoiding the creation of an Of.
ficialdom. To prevent dissatisfaction and promote con
fidence, appointments and other personnel changes in
the foreign and home services should be entirely re-
moved from control Of officials who can obtain per-
sonal advancement through such c~atrol.

Berah and Several others who op-
posed the amendment had been antag-

as due to the pledge given by the United

assist the little republic. They said that
the national honor required that this
pledge be kept.

brave the horrors of war and risk
their lives on the battlefields so that
this nation might stand. True, this
nation did stand and will stand for
ever, But at what price it stood, and
how dearly this price was paid by our
boys in khaki
Those who did not return from that
great conflict now rest peacefully
where once a terrible war ragged on.
Now in Flanders field they lie with
poppies to cover them and little white
crosses to mark their resting places.
We say, "gone, but not forgotten"
There are many, however, who did
not secure peaceful resting place
in the battlefields of France. They
are the doughboys that were brought
back sick and disabled. They are
spending the rest of their lives in
sanitariums and hospitals. Day after
day in years to come they will con-
tinue to sacrifice for their country.
To keep themselves busy and to help
support themselves, those who are able
make little blue forget-me-nots which
will be sold in the streets of our city
on Nov. 6. If you have not forgotten
their heroism, their suffering, the
great price they paid so that our coun-
try might not "perish from the
earth, /" you will buy one of their little
blue flowers on that day, wear it close
to your heart, and forever hear its
plea, "Forget-Me-Not."

for the seventh grade.
Forget-Me-Not Day
The forget-me-not is a symbol of
loyalty and patriotism. 1t signifies
the many thousands of American boys
who were wounded and badly crippled
in the World war SO day has been
set aside that we may show our graft
tude to them for what they sacrificed
for us.
If our boys had not volunteered to
fight for our country, think what this
great democracy might be today.
Think of the many American boys
who suffered the loss Of their minds,
broken limbs and many other physi-
cal disabilities. Many Of the disabled
who have only the use of their arms
make these small flowers out OF felt
and wire for the forget-me-not drive.
The American Legion auxiliary will
sell them for as much or as little as
you feel that you can give.
Forget-me-not day is observed

that were disabled as a result OF the
war;
