Hoover's Keynote.

While the occasion of the welcome to
San Francisco accorded to Secretary
Hoover yesterday on his arrival there
frcm Palo Alto was not of a partisan
political character. being participated
in by Democrats as well as Republicans.
the speech in which he acknowledged
the honors paid to him will be studied
with view to determining his general
line of campaign as candidate for the
presidency. An immense crowd had
gathered to do honor to the ''favorite
SON of California who has just been
chosen as the standard bearer of his
party The mayor of San Francisco, in
expressing the greetings of his fellow
citizens, sounded keynote" when he
said that commercial expansion on a
scale hitherto unknown is before the
American people. with prosperity be-
yond the vision of the wisest," and
proceeded;

that will stand out unique in the story
bear a great name, the name of him
whom we welcome home to San
Francisco and California, TO whom /
present all of you now. 1t is to be the
Hoover era.
III acknowledgment of this sugges
ton Mr. Hoover in his reply carried on
in terms of American commercial
development, saying:
Our foreign trade has grown greatly
since the war. until today, If we allow
for the deprecated dollar, it is fifty
per cent greater than Ii was before the
war. In the meantime the other great
nations engaged in the war are only
Just recovering to the level of their
pre-war trade. The outlook of
the world today is for the greatest era
of commercial expansion in history
The rest of the world will become
better customers. They will have larger
demands, but they viii also become
stronger competitors for the markets
Of the Orient.
1t is evident that in his campaign
Mr. Hoover will stress the business
opportunities and obligations OF this
country, that he will preach trade ex-
pansion and the cultivation of friendly
trade relations with other nations. He
is qualified by his unofficial and for
the past seven and half years his
official observations and activities to
treat authoritatively OF these matters
He has probably in his San Francisco
speech. while carefully avoiding parti-
sansiip as inappropriate to such an
occasion, sounded his own keynote in
his appeal to the country for votes for

Fines That Should Bring Reform

Possibly the penalty meted out TO
q defendant in the Police Court yester-
day who pleaded guilty to three specific
trafic offenses amounting to a fine Of
$4,000 with the alternative OF 100 days
in jail may have some effect upon
motorists who look lightly upon the
regulations. These three charges all
grew out OF one incident, collision be-
tween truck and a passenger car
The driver of the truck. who was
caught, was accused of driving without
a permit leaving the scene OF the acct
dent and reckless driving. This was his
second offenSe for leaving after coll
lision. and he had only recently been
released from jail after serving a term
for the first offense. Evidently that
first sentence taught him nothing. This
present one should at least persuade
him, II it does not convince others, that
there are teeth in the law.
Undoubtedly there are many motor
drivers in this city, as elsewhere, who
prefer to take chances on evading
penalties 10 observing the rules. Per-
haps they figure. If they reason at all,
that the risk of identification and cap
ture is comparatively slight, and that
If caught they will be ieniently treated
by the court. There should be no
ground for this belief The courts
should deal as severely with one first
offender as with another, and should
apply the maximum of penalty to all
second offenders. The imposition OF
trthing fines upon those who fiout the
rules will not effect reform OF the habit
Of recklessness In driving.
