The standards Of American boys and girls do not
originate mystsriously or by accident. and are not ere.
ated by original thinking. Experience and observation
each young people what are the actual standards OF
their elders, and they initiate men and women they
most admire. If they see cynieisa accepted by lead
ers in public and private life. no preaching will con-
vince them that honesty is the best policy. Our youth
is a mirror in which the older generation sees itself
truly reflected.
In the recent political campsign there we're many
conflicting issues. But the American public had one
dominant concern-integrity in public affairs. Each
party was compelled to nominate its best man. The
strength of each candidate was public confidence in
his integrity. and the weakness Of each was his prox-
unity to sinister influences.
The people sought a leader who could be implicitly
trusted. Political organizations fought for votes. but
seem to have changed very few. To an unusual degree,
votes for both candidates we're votes Of confidence in
personal qualities and abilities.
Now that the campaign is over. many professional
politicians are seeking rewards for their party services.
Many Of these men never have been and are not now
personal admirers Of the successful candidate. They
took him on compulsion. and worked for him in order
to maintain their political positions.
The friends of Herbert Hoover are not those poll
ticians who opposed kim as long as they dared, and
then rode with him to victory. His friends are the
American people who crsved dependable leadership,
and who compelled his acceptance BY the party organ
ization.
One large fact stands out clearly. The nomina-
ton and election Of Herbert Hoover were due, not
chiefly to the a~stuteness of professional politicians in
winning him votes, but to the confidence Of the Amer
lean public in his integrity and capacity. Mr.. Hoover
owes his loyalty TO the American people, and not 10
political organizations.

with homicide death rate more than
six times as high as the average for all
the cities combined"
The combined homicide rate TOR six
cities of 100000 population or more
was only 10 per 100000, against an av-
erage of 1876 per 100000 for the III
Southern cities.
THE fact that Detroit has the high
est homicide death rate OF the SIX
largest cities is, of course, largely at
tributable to the increasing colored pop
ulation of that CITY," Hoffman states.
Killings in Chicago increased from
14.l in 1927 to 1873 In 1928, Mr.. Hoff =
man says. and are therefore about so
per cent in excess of the average for
the country as whole.
Among cities with low homicide rates
or no homicides at all in 1923 are
Allentown, Pa, 20; Altoona, Pa. IA;
Broketon. Mass. Is; Concord, N. H.,
none; Grand Rapids. Mich, IL Hart
ford, Conn, III Jackson. Mich, none;

Of the application of the death pen
atty for murder, Hoffman asserts it is
doubtful if the total executions reach
200 against a total estimated murder
death roll of possibly 10000 for the
Nation.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Spec

Based on figures from local boards

Prudential Insurance Co, reports that
among the 100000 residents of these
cities the homicide death rate for 1928
was 1912 per 100000, against l0.5 for the
preceding year.
Forty-nine cities showed an increase,
while the remainder showed either de-
