Hamilton, Ont, April CP-A plan for international legislation be- tween Canada and the United States to provide for the prosecution Of mo- torists wanted for breaking laws on foreign highways was announced last night by George S. Henry, provincial minister of highways.

MR.. HOOVER'S FIRST YEAR
minneapolis Tribune)

Mr.. Hoover has now rounded out a full year a $ President OF
the United States.
There is a tradition that a chief executives frstyearrecord
should he subjected to some sort of a review. In obedience TO thE
tradition. many long commentaries have been written about MI.
Hoovers first twelve months in Office. The exercise seems o us
rather gratuitous and dangerous, for it means passing judgment MOI
concluded but upon continuing performance. Few people Would
approye the idea of a dramatic critics reviewing a play after ne
had see only the first fifteen minutes of the dramatic action. And
there is a certain analogy between a political commentators review
of the first year of an administration and a dramatic critics review
of the first fifteen minutes of a dramas action.
We say of Mr.. Hoover that he wasted no time in coming to
grips with the issues he discussed in his campaign speeches He
called the special session, and outlined to the Legislators in broad
terms the type of agricultural legislation he wanted. The agricu[
brought into being. The tariff bill is still under discussion, and
there is a strong likelihood that it may be enacted into law by june
Mr.. Hoover was not unmndful of his attitude on prohibition; and
he had a commission appointed to investigate it. Mr.. Hoover too
remembered foreign affairs; and right now an American delegation
headed by MI. Stimson is in London endeayoring to hammer out
a naval reduction program that will be agreeable to Britain, France,
Japan and Italy.
Extreme craftsmanship or the heat of emotion alone would JUSTIFY
anv sweeping praise or any sweeping indictment OF a series OF IN
fiated but unfinished programs. MIR. Hoover is a departure from
the ordinary type Of president. He is an engineer. He had behind
him a great record S a executive, a limited amount OF WA IS
conventionauy referred to as political" experience, and almost no
exnerience at all in dealing with parliamentary bodies. To many
people this seemed the ideal background To- a president / hefS
IT seemed opened to objection.

Much credit is due the Won
ans club members for their eff
forts in establishing a library
and the county commissioners
for the hearty support which they
have given the project. Due &C
Acknowledgement should be made
also for the aid given by the for
mer Senator McCone who had
long dreamed of a library in the
county which bears his name; and
who gave active encouragement
and financial assistance to the IL
brary while he was yet living;
and who left in his will $4,000
to be used in erecting a building
for the county library.
In the entire state there are
only ten county libraries. 1t is a
notable achievement for a coun-
ty as young as ours to be num-
bered among the ten. We hope
that the library will become an
important factor in the life of the
county; that it will be used by
every one: and that it will prove
to be a fruitful source of educa-
ton, recreation, and pleasure to
all.
The committee in charge an
nounces that the library will be
open Wednesday evenings from
7 to 9 and Saturday afternoons
from 2 to 5. Every one is welcome
to visit the library and to borrow
books. Patrons are urged to hand
in a list of five books that they
would like to read.
The library was open Wednes-
day evening to those who wish
to borrow books. Twelve appl1-
cant's cards were filled out and
seven books were loaned.

THE MIAMI ENGAGEMENT

Those who read the story of the sharkeyScott alleged fight in
which the British champion swooned "l over the ring" and cutched
his middle with loud walls, preliminary to quitting, will enjoy the
ironical classic from the editorial page of the Minneapolis Daily
Tribune which follows:
"The sinking without a trace of Britians big offensive threat at
Miami, Thursday night may seriously complicate, we fear, the work
of establishing Anglo-American parity. Where the United States
energies with the USS. Sharkey quite intact, Great Britain seems
to have lost, IS a result of this brutal, soaring engagement, its most
formidable fighting unit This loss, of course, will necessitate dras-
tic readjustments of the parity scales at London. The tonnage and
range of HMS. Scott, certainly, yer not to be sneered at. Inc
British craft was submersible to the last degree, and could dive
with the best of them. It's only weakness, a an offensive machine
seems to have been a slight tendency to buckle in the middle, list
to port. and develop, in the heat of battle, serious palpuauons in
the forward hold. Whether Mr.. Hoovers famous parity yardstick
can evaluate this sterling fighting unit, o for that matter even
classify il, we do not know. But that Britain has suffered a serious
offensive loss cannot be doubted. The good ship Scott as a matter
of fact, could be offensive to a fault, and usually was. Now that it
has been definitely sunk in the battle of Miami this country cI
afford to scrap in the general interests of AngloAmerican parity,
an armored rowboat and a brace of slightly worn canoes.

GOLD STAR MOTHERS
MAKE PILGRIMACES

Thos. r. Forbes, clerk of court,
has just received the necessary
papers for making application for
an invitation to take part in the
Gold star mothers and widows

ril s., 1917 and July l, 1921, and
whose remains r now buried in
European cemeteries. The term
widow" in this connection shall
mean a widow of a service man,
who has not remarked, while the

stepmother, mother through adop-
ton, or any woman who stood in
place of a mother to the deceas-
ed member of the naval or mil
itary forces for the year before
the commencement Of his service
in such forces.
These pilgrimages shall be
made at such times during the
from May /, 1880 to Octo-
Der 81, 1888, as may be designat-
ed by the Secretary of War.
Transportation will be afforded
vessels owned or operated by
the United States government.

Europe.
Should there be any woman in
this community eligible to make
such pilgrimage, and who wishes
% do so, she should see Mr..
clerk of court, at the
courthouse, and make preliminary
arrangements.

THE CITY

To date city politics is quiet. With the election a month away
there seems to be no hurry on the part of candidates to get before
the public. Mayor Stennes announced publicly. at the annual meeting
of the Commercial club, that he was not a candidate to succeed
himself.
The terms of Alderman Poulson in the First ward, Heinze in
the Second ward, and Collins in the Third, and Police Magistrate
Gordon will expire this Spring.
The only nomination yet made is for {. P. Swedberg for mayor.
A long list of his friends in all wards, men and women from various
walks of life, signed a nominating petition that is now in the hands
of the city clerk. The petition was voluntary IN the part of his
friends and only after earnest persuasion was Mr.. Swedberg's consent
to be a candidate gained.
OF the board of school trustees the terms of Chris Sand and
O G Johnson expire. District school election is on Saturday, April
5 and the city election is on Monday, April T.
