HOOVER MAKES A GOOD
START

Political writer's are busy weigh
ing Hoover's first week in office Why
not? 1t is all too short time in
which to judge a man, but even a
week can reveal Presidents capaci-
ties and methods, especially critical
week such as this has been.
Usually when there is change of
administration one of two things hap
pen; either the new President found
ers around for several weeks finding
himself or else he permits the Wash
ington bureaucrats inherited from the
previous administration to make i'm
portant policy decisions for him. Mr..
Hoover has done neither.
His first week in office has been
characterized by an extraordinary
sureness of touch. He has conducted
himself and government affairs as
though he has been in the White
House for many years instead Of only
a few days. All of that, of course,
cannot be attributed to original gen
ius. After ali, he has been in and out
of the White House daily as a Cab
met officer, and as Cabinet officer
whose advice was sought on many
problems unrelated to the Commerce
Department.
This first week has substantiated
the advance predictions that Mr..
Hoover is to be the "strong man"
type of President, one who knows his
own mind and who acts with pre-
cision.
Take the Mexican case. Here was
an unexpected revolution in neigh
boring country vitality affecting
gest revolt in Mexico in years, and
apparently was timed exactly by the
revolutionists for the very day of the
change of administration in Wash
ington. But Hoover understood the
Mexican situation without having to
depend entirely on either the Secre-
tray of State or the American Am
bassador. 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 Ameri-
can 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 cir
cumstances.
In the midst Of the Mexican crisis
Hoover was Strengthening out the
tangled press relations which he in
herited By increasing the number
Of quotable press statements and by
obtaining a representative press COM
mittee to help in reforming the White
House conferences.
In the same week the President
made Roadway in his plan for non
partisan commission to study law en-
forcement and general legal reform;
got the Congressional leaders to-
gether on farm relief legislation and
arranged for special session of
Congress; withstood attacks of the
strong Republican industrial group
demanding general tariff revision up
ward; saw the beginning of nego-
tiations at Geneva for American adj
herence to the World Court.
All of this is gratifying. 1t does
not mean that Hoover has yet settled
any Of the many problems before
him. 1t does not mean that he has
made no mistakes and will make no
others.
1t does mean that he has made
good start on long, hard road.

MT. LAKE PARK.
The Future

The Future
The future of Mt. Lake Park should
be the primary consideration of all
property owners and citizens. What
is being done and what can be done to
promote its future welfare is a vital
matter. No activity of life stands
still. 1t either progresses or retro
crosses. 1t is a fact within the
knowledge of all that the summer
population has decreased rather than
increased. Nothing has been accom-
plished, or attempted as far as we
can see, to add value to the large in
vestment in property. 1t would seem
as though from the end of the short
season of activity until the begin
ming of the next, say from the middle
of September until the first of the
next June, all activities and thought
of Improvement ceases. The only hope
seems to be during this time is that
an All-wise Providence will, in some
mysterious manner, take the matter
in charge and do for US what we
ought to do for ourselves. This is a
vain hope, for it is an old truism, as
old as our civilization, that the Lord
helps those that help themselves.
We cannot afford to depend solely
on the few short weeks of activity
of the Mt. Lake Park Association.
1t, no doubt, has it's own fixed poll
cies and its own problems. At the
same time we can not get along with
out cooperation, and we believe a
closer contact between it and the indi-
vidual interests of the Park, with a
common purpose having for its object
the rehabilitation of this community,
will be beneficial to it and it's objects,
as we'll as us.
In view of the present condition, the
question arises: "What are we 60
ing to do about it,"
In the first place, it is of para
mount Importance that we do those
things which will make this resort
source of pride to it's residents, and
an attraction to the outsider. Money
and time spent in this direction will
have the same beneficial effect for US
as a community as the good appear
ance of the individual has upon his
fellow associates.
In making any suggestions, we have
in mind the limited sources of finances
and the limitations thereby imposed
upon the officers of the Park. No
criticism of them can be legitimately
made.
At the same time nothing can be
accomplished unless there is a begin
ming. Even castles in the air are use
full as an incentive to work for an
ideal.
The natural beauty of the place can
be enhanced by the judicious planting
of shrubs and flowers; by making ana
keeping the streets and sidewalks in
good repair and state of cleanliness;
by a cleanup campaign of alleys and
other unsightly and unsanitary places;
by keeping the grass and weeds cut
along the main walks and driveways,
