President Hoover Pays
AL Smith Splendid Tribute
In Letter He Refers to Former Po-
litical Opponent as "Distin-
guiShed American"

New York, May president
Hoover regards Alfred e. Smith,
his Democratic opponent in the re-
cent national campaign, as a dis
tinguished American and a great
public servant.
The Presidents estimate of Mr..
Smith was expressed in a letter
read last night at the presentation
of the Laetare medal, the annual
award of the University of Notre
Dame to the American lay Catholic
who in his particular field of en-
deavor has achieved such distinc-
ton as reflects glory upon the
Catholic faith"
The letter addressed to the Rev.
DR.. Charles L. O'Donnell, presi-
dent of Notre Dame, said:
Il am glad you have given
me the opportunity to join in
congratulations to Governor
Smith for the honor which
you confer upon so distin-
guished an American and to
the university for it's public
spirit in honoring so great
a public servant"
The letter was read by Angus
Mcdonald, vice president of the
Southern Pacific railway, and form
er head of Notre Dame alumni as
sociations.
The tribute paid by the President
to the man over whom he won the
presidency is the first paid by Mr.
Hoover since he entered the White
House. During the campaign Mr..
Hoover avoided any mention of
Mr.. Smith. They have met but
once since the election. That was
while both were on a holiday in
Florida before Mr.. Hoover's inaug-
uration.
Cardinal Hayes, who presided at
the presentation ceremonies in the
Hotel Plaza before a distinguished
gathering, pinned the medal on Mr..
Smiths lapel.
In his speech of acceptance, Mr..
Smith referred to the Presidents
letter, saying:
Il am very thankful to the Pres
ident of the United States for his
kind note of greeting"
DR.. O'Donnell in his presentation
speech said the soundness and sin
certify Of Mr. Smiths Catholic faith
stood out as the moving force and
inspiration of what the former gov
ernor had accomplished.

The SeadTomes.

The dream of Edward r. Armstrong
for series of airplane landing fields
across the Atlantic seems we'll on its
way to fulfillment with the announce
ment that the first of these floating
islands would have its test of Cape
May. N. j., by August 1880. When
the inventor made known his plans sew
eral years ago, he encountered little but
skepticism. Since that time, however,
with the construction of models and
other experiments, Mr.. Armstrong has
convinced engineers that his scheme is
eminently practical, and three Of the
best known companies in this country
are cooperating to build the various
parts of the first seadrome.
Each island is to have displacement
of fifteen thousand tons. Four hundred
feet wide by twelve hundred feet long,
the landing deck will be seventy feet
above normal sea level. The islands will
be anchored by steel and masonry, even
where the water is three miles deep.

placement will be below the maximum

Good Government Victory Seen
In Cleveland Election Results

Cleveland's decision by a majority of
5000 votes to retain the city-manager
form Of government is hailed by the
press Of the country as a decisive VIC
tory of good government. 1t was the
third time in two years that the at
tempt has been made in the Ohio city
to return to the old form of govern
ment, and again the civic organizations
won. with notable support from woman
voters.
Remarkable" is the term employed
by the Dayton Daily News in describing
the result, as 1t remarks that nowhere
not even in 'boss-ridden Cincinnati
have the political niddlenen died sc
hard" The Daily News finds lesson
in the election: Fighting off success
fully its political parasites, Cleveland
sets an example to the other cities OF
the country Its fight is~ of course, OILY
half a victory. Cleveland has made
some serious mistakes in selecting Its
councilmen. No form Of government
automatically produces good results: a
good form only opens the way. The

"While politicians desiring to get con-

Capital. while the Buffalo Evening
News comments: That the new oroer

pected of it is attested by the scandals
that, have developed under 1t. How
ever there must be much more to its
credit than to its discredit. Other
wise the people would not again have
voted to retain it. They will have op-
portunity in November to correct con-
eitions. for there Is to be another cleo

Mackey, noM> mayor Of the City Of
Brotherly Love, is kicking over the
traces, 1t appears, and is inclined to
have slate of his own and to pass UP
the so-called Ware slate when 1t shall
have been perfected. Mayor Mackey,
when reproached for deserving "a sick
man." replied that Ware was well
again. Mr.. Ware will have to decide
whether he Is well or sick. If he de-
cides he Is well, he must face action by
the Senate on his senatorial contest
and q revolt. possibly. in his own ma
chine In Philadelphia. II he decides he
is Ill and likely to remain i'll for some
time to come. his political troubles may
be held in allegiance still longer. How
ever, II the reports emanating from
Philadelphia are true, the Republican
boss has by no means lost his grip and
will deal with any insurgents in his or
ganization promptly and forcibly.
Mr.. Ware and his machine have
functioned successfully for years. His
first real setback, setback which
threatened to wipe him of the map,
politically. came when in 1925 former
Senator Jim" Reed of Missouri, as
chairman Of the Senate committee ap-
pointed to investigate charges of cor
ruption and excessive expenditures in
senatorial primaries in Pennsylvania
and Illinois, revealed to the public the
manner in which politics is played in
Philadelphia and other parts OF the
Keystone State. Supporters of both Mr.
Ware and Of Col. Frank L. Smith, who
won the senatorial nomination and
election in Illinois in that year, insisted
they would eventually be seated by the
Senate. But the Senate has not seat
ed them. Col. Smith, when he was
denied the right to take the oath of
Office. resigned and sought vindication
at the hands Of the voters Of his State.
He was defeated in his effort for an
other senatorial nomination. Mr.. Ware
has held on. The hands Of the Senate
have been tied by his illness. If he
decides now that he is well, and his
case Is submitted to the Senate finally
for decision, 1t will be surprise to a
number of politicians. But whatever he
determines to do his case is not likely
to be taken up in the Senate until the
regular session in December. BY that
time the city elections in Philadelphia
will be out Of the way.
If Mr.. Ware feels that his health is
not such as to permit him to face the
Senate, he may come to the conclusion
that it Is due his State to step aside
and permit another man to go to the
Senate as its representative. There is
nothing to prevent his taking the same
course as that followed a year and a
half ago by Col. Smith, when the lat
ter resigned. II Mr.. Ware should adopt
such a course, the Governor Of Penn
sylvania would be empowered to APP
point a Senator in his place to serve
until after the elections are held IN
1880. It is true that a contest against
Mr.. Ware still hangs fire before the
Senate privileges and elections commit
tee, brought by William B. Wilson, his
Democratic opponent, but there seems
little doubt that contest would be
disposed Of promptly If Mr.. Ware should
indicate his determination to resign.
