Politics Freedom
Is Hoover Strength

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
With men who think only in terms
of politics, especially peanut politics,
the President has not got along any
too well, for their thinking and his are
in different spheres. With all other
sorts OF men, he gets along more than
well. The conferences with business
leaders which he instituted as head of
the Department of Commerce extended
our exports and thereby provided a
living for hundreds of thousands Of
American families. The conference
which he had with Ramsay Macdonald,
OH the Rapidan, issued in the London
naval treaty. The conferences which
he held with business and labor chiefs
after the stock market collapse OF last
Fall minimized the shock to the Ma
tons industrial structure and still OPP
crate as a constructive force. The pub
lie addresses which from time to time
he delivers show real comprehension
of popular psychology, an ability to call
forth a responsive chord from the I'M
DERIVING idealism of the American char
acter.
The latest development in the inter-
national field, as glimpsed in the visit
of the President-elect of Colombia and
the projected visit of the President
elect of Brazil, is gratifying, and while
it may not be surprising to Herbert
Hoover, it is to the rest of us. The
country took 1t for granted that he
toured the Latin Americas for a rest
from campaign labors and to acquaint
himself with their problems at first
hand. 1t seems that he left broad
and friendly trail behind him, over
which distinguished and responsible
men from the Southern continent are
glad to travel on kindred missions OF
understanding.

mark. He Is one OF those provoking
players who are capable of great per-
formances and of poor ones, according
to temperament. He can hit ball very
far and very hard and but for a dis
position to slump now and then would
clouting. Just why a ball player slumps
In hitting is one of the mysteries OF the
game. Last year Goslin was in an all
season slump. This year q stimulus was
offered in the form of bonus in case
his record at the bat was satisfactory.
But even that inducement has not thus
far brought him out of the doldrums
into the three hundred class" In st.
Louis he may snap out of his lapses
at the bat and fail the bali Sensa-
tionally. That is the way with base
ball trades. 1t is one Of the CANDLES
that worry managers and make them
gray-haired before their time.
This trade is evidence of determine
ton on the part of Manager johnson
to build up the team to championship
capacity by any possible method. Just
at present the American League race is
in a very interesting state. Washing
ton, after leading for time with con-
siderable margin, has slipped a bit and
is now in third place, but only seven
points behind the leader and three
points behind the second team. A mere
Senators from the top, while close be-
hind, two and half games away, come
the Yankees, making q flrSt-division
huddle that has rarely been eQualed in
the history of the sport. In these con-
ditions every base hit, and especially
every home run, counts heavily for
success.

Opportunity for Mediation.

In answer to q question at the White
the President expressed the opinion
that he anticipates some solution of the
District bill difficulties that will not
disable the District. AS far as known,
Whatever he might do would probably
be confined to suggesting to the con-
gressional leaders that they reconcile
their differences and pass the bill be-
fore the end of the session and not re-
sort to the drastic and dangerous ex-
pedient of continuing the current ap-
preparations. This last would put the
District full year behind In eonstruc-
ton work. The District is far enough
behind as it is.
1t so happens that the President of
the United States is about the only one
whose friendly intervention might offer
any hope of ending the impaSse be-
tween the House and the Senate. And
conditions certainly demand that the
differences be mediated.
The only sensible way of bringing the
District bill out of the deadlock is a
compromise between the conflicting
views of the House and the Senate. The
position of the House conferees is I'M
tenable from every reasonable stand
point. The Senate has offered two
methods of compromise. The House
has turned them both down and is will
ing to jeopardize the bill by stubbornly
holding out for its own contention in
its fullness.
The Presidents well established views
as to the efficacy of fact finding COM
missions, to investigate controversial
subjects and suggest formulas for their
settlement are well known.
Here is q condition, pleasing to no
one, that invites the inquiry of q fact
finding commission. The only objection
to such commission lies with those
same men who now refuse to talk COM
promise on the District bill.
The reasonable way out of this dead
lock, however, is compromise for the
time being, leaving the fundamental
issues that divide House and Senate to
settlement based on facts that will
be accepted as facts by everybody.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

This column as long as four years ago
predicted the return of the cheap book,
cheap in price, not in quality or printing.
Today that prophecy stands an ac-
complished fact, as publishers every
where turn to the dollar book as their
hope of salvation in a highly competi-
tive world
Many a purchaser of a certain
popular detective story by well known
writer paid 50, or $3.50, we forget which,
to find it available to later purchasers
at 81,
The writer here only a few months
ago paid IS for a certain biography, to
have the pleasure of watching other
readers purchase exactly the same book

ProprietorS of bookstores declared
that the book-buying public no longer
went in for sets of Dickens, or Scott,
or Conrad, or Voltaire, or Thackeray.
The consequence was that sets quietly
disappeared from the shelves of many
of the book stores. They still were to
be found, of course. in Second-h
places, as later generations disposed of
them.
The readers of one age do not al
ways produce the readers of the next.
Many young man or woman, on grow
ing up, has found himself possessed Of
some remarkably fine sets which he
never read.
These were promptly sent to the
secondhand book store for what they
would bring, which usually was precious
little. The end of families, too, brought
many set into other hands.

After all, what is more pleaSurable
than good set of some good author?
We would go as far as to say that
one can scarcely claim to be a full
fiedged booklover until he has several
sets in his home.

Old Friend Policeman.

Old Friend Policeman.
Old Friend Policeman used to say
In days that are agone
When groups of lads would idly stay,
Move on, me b'ys; move ont"
They'd even call themselves a gang
In dime novel style.
They jested some and maybe sang
And only brought a smile.
That Old Policeman Is no more.
His gentle sway is done.
Where he just said Move on" Of yore
The copper grabs gun.
He wears a look exceeding grim.
His smile is very small,
And If you mention gang to him,
