The Nominat0r.
(New York Times)


 Senator Brookhart is sensitive Just as the faintest ghost of alcoholic fragrance is registered by his nostrls so his can catch from every quar- ter of the air the winged sound of Progressive ser aphs moving simultaneously against the demons of reaction Eastward, Westward, all around the land "the people" strongly feel that Progressive Republican candidate should be named for Presi- dent by the next Republican National Convention. The movement has begun. It cannot be stopped. Speaking with all that maturity of judgment which gives so much weight to his opinions, MT. Brookhart declares that the Progressves carry Presidential primaries enough to control the convention | He then returns to his ingenious method of naming the to wear the Progressive laurels. Again he trots out Governor Pinchot the perennial, Senator Norris the non partisan, MT. Borah the not to- drafted, the quadrennial regular Once more the crown is dangled before Senator LaFollette no friend of prematurity. The hero of Iowa unkind'y drags from gray seclusion Hiram Johnson of the broken heart. Which of you Progressive patriots will come forth and us? But will come, with the exception of Governor Pinchot political forester who has way of getting lost in the woods
 Colonel Brookhart knows that well any body ese His nomination tactics are exactly the reverse of Colonel Bryan's It the latters habit to select obscurties that the public might contrast them with his own shining capabilities. With unsming lips he would murmur such names las Glove Huggins of Sleepy Eye Pickle Baggleby of Beans Corner and invite the brethren to con- template and choose. The device was too ingenious
 
 of eligbles of genius. He knows that of them except Governor Pinchot can possibly bite; and what is Governor Pnchot in Pennsylvania but good deed in naughty world? Progressive Republi- icanism is an ardor of some parts of the West Western it's candidate for President must be. The elimination contest is over. The Progress lsive candidates home postoffice is Washington Iowa. He is the truest of Progressives He will raise thunder with banking transportation, patent lcorporation laws. He will abolish Wall Street He will deport international bankers He will rescue the farmers by means of the export debenture He will keep soldiers in the Canal Zone from wander ing into wet territory. He will smell out the vo- lators of the Volstead act in the deepest fast ness where they hide their gin Our only reproach ito him is that he didn't stick to his purpose of little while ago and unite the South and West in support of prohibition.
 To do that he would have to be yoked with the Democrats That too much. Besides, it would be nconvenient After all, MT Brookhart's ears may have deceived him. If MT. Hoover is renomi- mated as nothing but faith in MT. Brookharts clairaudience keeps us from regarding as certain our prime Progressive may have to sneak back into the reservation

SOME BAD GUESSING.

The other day President Hoover frankly con- fessed that the United States is in the midst of another Valley Forge short time before, when refusing to summon Congress in extraordinary ses- sion he had sagely and wisely declared that the depression cannot be legslated away or cured with political panaceas
 This position of the President is not in har- mony with his idea of things when he said that with Gods help he would banish poverty from the land nor with his assurance many occasions that action had been taken that would speedily lead to the return of good times. In March, 1880, he de- clared that within sixty days industry and business would be on an even keel and satisfactory as ever that no one would know there had been a crash.
 We'll has right to change his mind If his information and judgment approves, and all of us make bad guesses in while. The Pres- dent has been forced to change his mind oftener than most statesmen and his guessing has been worse than the average, but the topsy-turvy world has not been conducive to consistent thinking or to prophecy.
 However it may not be amss to call attention to the fact that thousands of business men and most economists believe that if the outrageous flaw Shoot tariff could be repealed foundation would be laid for extending markets and improving trade

FAMOUS HOUDON BUST TO BE OPTIC
 IAL WASHINGTON PORTRAIT.

The Houdon Bust of George Washington at Mount Vernon has been chosen by the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission as the subject for the official Washington portrait which it will distribute the country in its plans for organizing the nations celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of Washingtons Birth in 1882
 Tn circulating this portrait of Washington, the United States George Washington Bicentennial work of great Frenchman recognized as one of the foremost portrait sculptors of all time. Thus a further contribution will be made toward payment of the debt which George Washington owed to Lafayette and to the French for timely aid during the struggle for Independence
 Jean Antoine Houdon lived from 1741 to 1928. Born the son of domestic in the employ of a courtier he rose hke Moliere to be an outstanding figure of the Eighteenth Century and of the glories of French culture. While Houdon is known for imaginative sculpture, his fame rests chiefly on a series of 200 busts, a collection forming one of the monuments of world art. Besides his bust of Washington, he also made likenesses of Benja- min Franklin, John Marshall Rosseau Moere, and Voltare.
 The circumstances of Houdon's selection to execute a likeness of Washington themselves an interesting page in American history On June 22 l784 the year after the successful close of the Revolution, the Legislature of Virginia resolved that measures be taken for procuring statute of General Washington, of the finest marble and best workmanship" After much consultation, in which Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin took an active part Houdon, already at the height of his fame, selected incomparably the most re- liable and proficient artist.
 Washington himself has left a record of Hou- dons stay at Mount Vernon for the purpose of modelling this bust from close observation and meas urement of Washngtons features and figure. He also made life-mask of Washington, for correc- tion of the bust. Both mask and bust served as models for the statue of Washington by Houdor ordered by the State of Virginia and later erected in Richmond The original bust presented by Houdon to Washington and has been by every visitor to Mount Vernon
 One especially interesting circumstance ac- counts for the life which Houdon imparted tt Washngtons head. During the artists visit a Mount Vernon, Washington had occasion to de cline with indignation a shady bargain offered him by horse dealer. The passing mood impress ed Houdon characteristic of the man that h. immortalized it in his bust. The result in thu opinion of critics. is to give the likeness strikin vgor and power

Immigrants and Emigrants.
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Although a great stir was made in the last Congress over the proposal to bar immigration into the United States until unemployment was reme- died the figures for recent months indicate that this was wholly unnecessary alarm. Tn March, HOO more aliens left the country than ad- mitted. More departed by law than were ad- mitted under quota regulations.
 Tn large measures the smaller arrivals are due to the more stringent enforcement of immigration laws by consular officers abroad Checking carefully the applicants for immigration vises, these officials have been able to cut greatly the num- bers coming here to live. This has been done under existing law without invoking any emergency measures.
 Perhaps even larger numbers have been de- tered from coming merely because they know there lis work for them here. Potential immigrants to America, whether they read and write not have astonishingly accurate information of the ditions here, through mysterious grapevine telegraph of their own and their applications for vses reflect closely the economic conditions of this country.
 With the net increase of population by mmi- grafton reduced to minus figure, be grate- full that this aspect of the unemployment problem has been cared for without any legislation which would merely antagonize foreign countries without getting any better results than we have now.

HOOVER LAUDED
BY MRS. GANN

After years of listening to
speeches, Dolly Gam, sister Of
Vice President Curtis, has entered
the list as a platform artist her
self and hereafter will be heard
as well as seen in the political
arena.
Mrs. Gam made her debut yes
terday at the League Of Repub-
lican Women luncheon at the
Kennedy-Warren Apartments and
will repeat today with political
talk to her sisters of the faith
in Columbus, Ohio.
Yesterday Mrs. Gam told her
audience that Herbert Hoover Is
to be the most prominent issue
in the campaign. She paid trlb-
ute for nearly Is minutes to the
President as the one and only
leader in the world fit to cope
with international problems.
She mentioned in passing the
other issues of more or less i'm
portance which would be apt to
crop up during the turmoil-such
as the tariff, strong" currency
and law enforcement-but she
rested her case on Hoover the
man. And she told the ladies Of
the league that the Republican
party would have to do the SAME.
