Born of Revolution

Texas is neither excited, nor
alarmed. Time has hardened it to
the experience of Mexican revolu-
ton.
Texas has not only lived with
Mexican revolution, but was born
of it.
1t was in March, 1886, that Texas
declared her INDEPENDENTLY, 900
against 1O,0OO,0O0; a handful of
frontiersmen defying an empire.
Five days ago came the anniver-
sary of the Alamo in which 1873
Texans were massacred. In less
than three weeks will come the an
niversary of Goliad, in which 349
were slain after surrendering as
prisoners of war.
In less than six weeks will come
that of San Jacinto, where Houston
won his smashing victory and cap
tured Santa Ana.

Bonding as Habit

BONDING has become a habit in
- this country Like other hab-
its it is dangerous for that if no
other reason.
The increase of debt not only for
public but private enterprises is all
out of proportion. It's effect will be
to debate money values. since the
easiest way to pay off a given
amount is to make dollars cheaper.
Excellent as such a proposition
may be for debtors, it is tough on
creditors. Unless we all are going
into debt and stay there we should
be careful. Every one knows how
the war affected European money
values. What most of us forget is
that war wouldn't have done it
but for the debts,
Debts can be piled up in time of
peace, if people become excited, or
foolish enough, and they will have
the same effect.

Federal Patronage

President Hoover has issued two warnings to the
pecounter boys who control Republican organizations
in many states, particularly in the SOUTH
The first warning is that there will be few federal
jobs to distribute at this time. The second is they
must recognize the Hoover partisans who hitherto
have not figured politically
Otherwise, the President has indicated, he will
not devote much time to Strengthening out the federal
patronage question for the present.
To those who want to see the patronage situation
cleaned up, Hoover gives the that present
procedure is to continue only temporarily. To those
who feared that Hoover would turn his back the
old Republican organization, the President gives the
assurance that he will not attempt drastic interior
ence as long they behave themselves.
The arrangement is satisfactory. 1t will give the
senate patronage investigating committee oppor-
tunity to report 1t will give Hoover time to study
the situation and to build his own improved organi
zation
Patronage evils not be cleaned up in day,
but they be by long, careful study and effort.
Hoover apparently is headed in that direction.

TN all presidential messages I find
l. one important public problem
somewhat neglected. I speak of
happiness
To be sure, Herbert Hoover has
had a great deal to say at various
times about prosperity. But pros
perity is not quite synonymous with
happiness.
The United States of our own day
is, 1 suppose, the most prosperous
land the world has ever known. Still.
I am by no means sure that it is the
happiest AS yet. the distribution of
wealth is imperfect and even so it
might easily be maintained that the
average American worker lives upon
a scale OF comfort unknown to the
feudal baron who was without motor
transportation, the radio or modern
plumbing. But probably the feudal
baron had a better time. Comfor4

Hoover Starts Well

Political writer's are busy weighing Hoover's first
week in Office Why not? 1t is all too short a time
in which to judge man. but even week can reveal
a Presidents capabilities and methods, especially
critical week such as this has been.
Usually when there is change of administration
one of two things happens: Either the new President
founders around for several weeks finding himself,
or else he permits the Washington bureaucrats Inherit
ed from the previous administration to make IN
portant policy decisions for him. Hoover has done
neither.
His first week in Office has been characterized by
an extraordinary sureness of touch. He has con-
Quoted himself and government affairs as though he
had been in the White House for many years instead
of only few days.
All of that of course not be attributed to orig
inal genius. After all, he has been in and out OF
the White House daily as cabinet officer for eight
years. AID as cabinet officer whose advice was sought
on many problems unrelated to the commerce de-
partment.
This first week has substantiated the advance pre-
dictons that Hoover is to be the STRONG man. type
of President one who knows his own mind and who
acts with professionals Roosevelt and Wilson did,
Take the Mexican case. Here was an unexpected
revolution in neighboring country, vitality affecting
American interests It was the largest revolt in Mexico
Ill
revoutionsts the very day of Che change of adj
ministration in Washington. But Hoover understood
the Mexican situation without having to depend en-
trey on either the secretary of state or the American
ambassador.
He acted quickly without buster, but effectively
He threw the full weight of American prestige and
resources on the side of the Mexican government to
which he sold war supplies while tightening the
American arms and supply embargo against the
rebels He ordered Brigadier General Mccoy, as
great diplomat as soldier to the border. He acted
more quickly and surely than other Presidents have
done in similar circumstances
In the midst of the Mexican crisis, Hoover
Strengthening out the tangled press relations which
he inherited BY increasing the number of quotable
press statements and by obtaining representative
press committee to help in reforming the White House
conferences Hoover struck at the vicious system
der which some of his predecessors have propagan-
died the country without taking responsibility for
their propaganda.
In the same week the President made Roadway in
his plan for non-partisan commission to study law
enforcement and general legal reform; got the
greSsonal leaders together farm relief legislation
and arranged for special session of congress; with
stood attacks of the strong Republican industrial
group demanding general tariff revision upward saw
the beginning of negotiations at Geneva for American
adherence to the World court.
All this is gratifying. It does not mean that Hoover
has settled any of the many problems before him
It does not mean that he has made no mistakes and
viii make no others.
It does mean that he has made pretty good start
on long hard road

Struggle to Pay Debts

THO measurable extent, the rise
4 in wages and prices over which
we rejoice is due to cheaper money.
The carpenter who gets $40 day
now is getting more than the car
penter who worked for $3.50 a day
three generations ago. But not four
times as much, or anywhere near it.
The farmer who gets 81 a bushel
for wheat these days actually is
getting less than the farmer who
sold it for so cents fifty years ago.
Debts and the struggle to find an
easy way of paying them, with the
result of cheaper money, furnish a
large part of the explanation.
It would be just as well if we gave
this factor of economy progress
some consideration in arguing about
bonds.
It would be just as well, also, to
ask ourselves whether money can
be spent as wisely and efficiently in
big intermittent gobs as it can in
steady flow. Road building, for
instance, is not a business that can
be completed and laid aside. That
being so, why go at it with spasms
