Hoover Knows Needs.
'Mr. Hoover knows the country from
East to West and North to South and
realizes the special needs of the various
sections, and, in addition to the very
unusual grasp of domestic problems, has
a remarkable knowledge of our foreign
commerce, which plays such an i'm
portant part in our national prosperity" "
Secretary Kellogg reviewed the achi-
evementS of the Coolidge administration,
reciting the reduction of the national
debt, tax reductions, the finding of for
eign markets for agricultural products
and numerous other national problems
which have been settled, and then de-
clared that Hoover could be depended
upon to carry on the Presidents sue
ceSsful work.
Describing Hoover as having greater
knowledge of the Nations complex prob
lens of trade and commerce than any
other man in this country, Secretary
Kellogg also said that Hoover was par

'He is an enthusiastic believer in the
development of the Mississippi River
and other rivers in the country and
also in the great project of the con-
struction of the Sa. Lawrence River
Canal to connect the Great Lakes with

Hoover Filed Report.
He added that Hoover, as president of
the American commission, filed the re-
port advising the construction of the
st. Lawrence River Canal, mot only as
an entirely feasible project but impera-
tive for the relief and development Of
the great area in the Middle West"
In event Canada will not cooperate in
the construction of the canal, Secre-
tary Kellogg said, Hoover would push
vigorously" for an All-American route
project.
Secretary Kellogg said Hoover "is a
natural leader of men, one who seems
always the most earnest co-operator of
those who work with him."
'HiS vision," the Secretary said
"takes in the needs of the whole coun-
try. He has proved what he can do
in organizing and carrying through the

Equally he has proved his power in as

The World and All
ON BEING ORDINARY
BY Charles r. Driscoli

You read 50 much in the papers about extraordinary
folk, that sometimes you may wilt a little under the
impression that you are just an ordinary person, and
in no wise notable.
| hope that thi3 consciousness does not make you
sad. There seems to be a certain glamor about being
notable and eminent, but there certainly are compen-
sations attached to the state Of being ordinary. TIE
ordinary American makes a pretty good living. has
family contacts that are steady and comforting, and
is endowed with enough brains and enterprise to carry
on his own existence without too much friction.
Now, the extraordinary fellow is often just an or
binary man who has had certain breaks that put him
in a conspicuous place on the ladder. He is quite .
mark, and there are many out with their popguns
shooting at him. His ordinary mind i dizzy with the
experience, and it's not SO easy for him to get a rea-
sonable amount Of sleep as it was before he took the
climb.
The ordinary man who has been placed By fortune
in a conspicuous place is n worried individual. Maybe
he struck oil. as an ordinary man sometimes does.
Maybe he bought heavily Of Radio or some other good
thing when il was down, and sold out when Il was
high. Now. these breaks" DO not generally result
from the exercise Of brains or judgment. And they
do impose upon the lucky fellow the responsibility ri
being quite rich. Often there are other responsible
ties. Somebody thinks that because this young man
has made a lot of money and looks serious about 4.
he ought TO be made a cabinet member. a senator. or a
diplomat. Well, can you imagine the plight OF that
oIulhaiy man
Then there is the genuinely extraordinary man. with
an extraordinary mind. He probably has a great inn
.agination and a keen sensibility. He is delicately or
gained, psychologically and spiritually. and probably
physically also. This roughly organized world hurts
him. He suffers from fears and fancied sights. He
thinks people do rot like him, or he worries lest he BE-
misunderstood. He Is like a man without any epider-
mis- trying to work in a flour mill. Everything hurts
him because his environment was made by and for or
binary folk.
Nietzsche was a man 81 giant intellect. but the
world he lived in hurt him 50 that he fled 20 a lionel,
place to escape human contacts. Beethoven suffered
spiritual torment all his life, because he could find 70
place IN this ordinary world where the could feel ".
nome. Poe was a constant mourner, and Byron's life
was tragedy. Lamb and Goldsmith lived in miserv be-
cause they could not talk the language Of their time
md place.
on there is much 70 be thankful for II one is thor
oughly ordinary. For this is an ordinary mans world.

IMMIGRANT STOCK IN PRESIDENTS
(Springfield Republican,


1t is erroneous to say that Governor Smith Is the
first candidate of a major party for the presidency
who is but one remove from foreign-born, immigrant
parents. Woodrow Wilson's mother was born and
reared in England.
But Andrew Jackson was in the fullest sense in
the same class that Governor Smith is. His father and
mother were both immigrants from Ireland. They
came here in i765 and established a home in the will
derness Of the Carolinas. The father died before the
son saw the light in the frontier cabin. President
Jackson was reared in poverty and hardship. Governor
Smith, in comparison, was reared in comfort. Jackson
had virtually no school education whatever; Smith had
the schooling Of an average New York City boy o. a
generation ago, stopping short Of the college course.
II Smith now repeats in some degree Jackson's
achievement Of reaching the presidency, the similarity
between their careers will consist largely in the fac,
that each represented the lower strata of American de-
mocracy which included the more recent immigration
of the time. Many would stress this difference, that
Jackson represented a frontier and rural democracy,
while the democracy Smith represents Is distinctively
urban. But this i a difference arising out Of the
changed conditions in the settlement OF the country.

The Cameron Memorial

Cameron county residents will learn with consid-
cradle satisfaction that a tablet honoring the memory
OF Captain Even Cameron, in whose honor the couaty
was named, will soon be placed in the county court
house. Funds for the memorial were raised BY Dr. q.
II. Thorne. pioneer resident OF Brownsville. 4 student
Of border history, who has devoted considerable time
for two years to raising the fund. Every section Of
the county contributed, ana the memorial tablet will
represent the desire Of All OF Cameron county 70 per-
'~retuatc the memory of the border hero.
Eighty-six years have elapsed since Captain Even
Cameron faced a firing squad somewhere in the
mountains between Hacienda Salado and the City Of
Mexico. His body lies in en- unknown and unmarked
grave. and what could be more fitting than that Cam
sron county should place in its court house a memo
rial to perpetuato q heroic name? His comrades Of
the frontier, the men who fought under him during
those years of border warfare which finally eulminat-
cd in the expedition against Mier, IN 1852 gave TO the
lower border country the nsme OF Cameron county II
honor OF their leader. The county at that time ex-
tended from Webb to tire mouth Of the Rio Grande,
and north 20 the Nueces. comprising most Of the ter
ritory in dispute prior 10 the Mexican war. II was
throughout this area that Even Cameron and his ran
gers fought the border bandits and it was the heroism
Of Cameron and his band of valiant followers that
opened to the lower border the first avenue for Amer
lean civilization.
The unwilling of the Cameron memorial tablet, which
will be held some time in September under the aus
pices OF the Valley Historical Society. which inaugu-
rated the movement TO raise the fund, should be male
one of the most noteworthy events in the history Of
the lower border. II is a duty Cameron county owes
the memory Of Captain Even Cameron, a tardy but
we'll deserved recognition OF the service Cameron per-
formed for the entire border country and the perpet-
nation of n name that will ever be honored wherever
brave deeds are recorded.
Cameron county is proud Of the fact Il bears the
name Of the dauntless borderman, and Cameron county
should insist that the unwilling of the memorial be
made an occasion that will be in accord with the 5cry-
ICES rendered BY Cameron in the days when the bor-
dsr " a wild and lawless land and rave hearts and
,,rong men we're needed to open the avenues for civil
cation.
