Many Words From Hoover

DRESIDENT HOOVER not only
l. calls a special session of the
senate but writes a long, dry, de-
tailed message explaining why he
thinks the naval treaty should be
adopted.
This was necessary, ne says, DE
cause of the nisinformation and
Misrepresentation which has been
widespread by those who in reality
are opposed to all limitation and
reduction in naval arms"
Excluding the fifty eight sena-
tors who could not help themselves,
how many read that message from
beginning to end? Including the
f1fty-eight senator's, how many
changed their minds because of it?
We like to think we are getting
something of value out of all the
talk, and especially when the Presi-
dent speaks. We like to think SO
because discussion is the basis of
democracy. But to what extent are
we interested, in an honest, wide
awake way?
Most every one has formed an
opinion with regard to the naval
treaty. In how many cases is that
opinion based on thorough study of
the subject? On the other hand,
in how many cases is it based on
an emotional attitude toward war?

TOHN D. ROCKEFELLER pre-
j pares to celebrate his ninety
first birthday anniversary with a
little game of golf and a family
dinner. He thinks golf had much to
do with the extension of his life.
One would be more impressed
with the idea, but for the 156-year-
old Turk who is about to visit this
country, and who never heard OF
golf. Rockefeller merely has been
lucky.
Admitting that he has a wonder
full constitution and that he has
taken good care Of himself, he
might have been run OYER by a fiiy-
YER, or struck by lightning. No
doubt some of the 404 persons who
died in this country as the result
of accidents during the triple holi-
day would have reached the century
mark but for their unhappy fate.

she took the articles, worth
altogether Jess than a dollar, and
had no previous record, Mullen
said.
"There was no deliberate
malice here, nor thought Of out
right theft. She had no use Tor
these articles" Mullen told the

for mercy, and the people OF
