Nothing to Offer

THIS Hoover has nothing to offer
Il an agonized country but truck
loads of statistics, proving how well
off bankrupt farmers, busted bust
ness men and unemployed laborers
will be when the big plans he has
made and the big institutions he is
assisting get around to them.
This Hoover can't see any virtue
in a beer tax, though the federal
government is running behind to
the tune of $125, 100000 a month,
and though bootlegging has devel-
cped a form of lawIessness and
racketeering which is causing the
people untold losses In money and
morals.
What a contrast to Wilson, who,
in one of his first speeches after be-
ing inaugurated, said: "I see the
woman with the shawl and mar
ket basket on her arm"

Blind Birds

pletely had stopped bobbing their
heads, but walked with the head
held straight out in front Of them
and with the neck stretched" he
says. They also had stopped blink
ing the third eyelid, except oc-
casional movements.
Then specimens Of both blind
and seeing birds were held in the
hand and their heads artificially
jerked forward and backward.
In each case, it was found, the
nictitating membrane was ficked.
There was a correlation of this
movement with head motion, but it
apparently had nothing to do with
vision.
From these experiments it APP
pears that the blinking Of the mys-
ferrous third eyelid is primarily a
type of reflex protection to the eye
during jerky movements and. that
its visual shutter function, if exist

them to keep the eyes open.
owls are known often to sit with
the nictitating membranes drawn
across the eyes when exposed to
bright sunlight during the day.
But even the true eyelids of birds
are fairly translucent, and there is
probably no interference with the
luminous sense and light direction

Hoover's Addresses Have
Proved That He Is 100 Per
Cent ReGctiOndry.
Says =

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Undoubt-
IN edly, President Hoover has
gained some votes by appealing to
fear. Whether he has gained as
many as he has lost. is another
question. You just can't attempt to
scare people without creating re-
sentiment.
Be that as it may, the Presidents
style Of campaigning, as illustrated
by his more recent addresses, is
strictly in line with old guard Re-
publican doctrine. If anything were
needed to identify him as a 100 per
cent reactionary, those addresses
have supplied it.
Herbert Hoover is not the toler-
ant, minded liberal that mil
lions of people took him to be four
years ago.
1t is more logical to suppose that
he has changed to some extent, than
that they were wholly wrong
His public career began as sub
ordinate of Woodrow Wilson, as an
organizer of food sources and dis
penser of relief.

Wasn't Waiter This Time

MOST of the tales Of his proves
WI concerned his playing the part
of a clumsy waiter, and if some
body had stumbled over my feet I
might have realized that was be-
ing victimized
NO, possibly not. That would have
seemed plausible enough. Walters
frequently stumble over my feet and
fail to end up by saying, Surprise!
Luke Barnett!"
But if anybody had poured hot
tomato soup down the back Of my
neck I feel confident that I might
have tumbled to the fact that the
episode was merely an indication
that my kindly hosts wanted me to
feel at home and have a good time.
Mr.. Barnett was more subtle than
that. He attended the luncheon in
the guise of a local political leader
from a Polish district, and as far
as I could tell his Polish was per-
feet. At the end of the luncheon
he rose and said, without any great
amount Of heat, that he wished to
voice protest.
He said that he understood that
at the dinner which was scheduled
in the evening there were to be
three Speakers Republican, a
Democrat and a Socialist.
He had heard the names Of Sem

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Mr. Hoover, in his
speech at Cincinnati stated that the
gun booms, factory whistles and
cheers that greeted him there and
on his tour, were indicative as to
where the would stand on Nov. 3.
Mr.. Hoover's above statement with
his present depression is sufficient
evidence for any average 'compos
mentis" to know that all the many
excuses offered for this, the saddest
period in all human history, is
complete admission from Mr.. Hoo
yer that he and his cohorts have
"consummated," in the manner set
forth in the prediction of President
Lincoln, in 1865, when he made the
following statement:
Il see in the near future a crisis
approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety
of my country. AS result of the
war, corporations have been en-
throned and an era of corruption in
high places will follow and the
money power Of the country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by
working upon the prejudices of the
people, until all wealth is aggregated
in few hands and the republic is
destroyed.
Il feel at this moment more anx-
iety for the safety Of the country
than ever before, even in the midst
of the war"
The fact is Mr.. Hoover has
spurned the policies and warnings
Of Lincoln, whom he-Hoover-pre-
tends to claim as his political god
father" and has adopted the policies
of Alexander Hamilton, which are
the direct cause Of this present de-
preston, and have taken jobs from
12,000,000 workers and bread and
meat from millions Of women and
children.
Notwithstanding these facts, and
more, Henry Ford and the favored
class, are threatening those who are
working, only part time, with star
walton, unless they surrender their
rights of American citizenship, by
voting contrary to their choice.

The Indispensable Man.

Now that President Hoover has warned that his
defeat would destroy the American system, and has
compared himself with Lincoln it is rather difficult
to discuss him as a mere human being.
But great many business and others will
understand that the answer made by Owen D. Young
who compares Hoover with the familiar fellow in the
business world who thinks he is absolutely indspen-

VERY now and then something
T. comes up which makes me
wish that I had read the papers
more carefully and remembered
better what I read.
For instance, I went to Pittsburgh
last weekend to make a speech,
and at an informal luncheon they
turned Luke Barnett loose upon me.
I fell for the joke 102 per cent.
Perhaps you don't need to be re-
minded of the identity of Mr.. Bar
nett and his curious occupation. He
is professional annoyer. His ex-
PLOTS were chronicled at some
length in the World Telegram a
year or so ago.
I have heard of him and his
stunts a score of times. And though
I never saw him until my Waterloo
in Pittsburgh, his picture has smiled
out at me from score of special
newspaper articles.
Until I met the enemy and be-
came his I had no conception Of
the subtlety and extraordinary skill
of the man.

Not a Real Cue for Oil

A ND there I was trying to act
N the role of tub of oil and i'm
ploring people not to hit each
other. At that point Luke Barnett
walked over to me. I have never
seen more realistic portrayal Of an
angry, excited man.
The tears were pouring down his
cheeks. He seemed more friendly
now, but he bristled when the toast
master insisted that he must apollo
gize to me.
"Oh, to hell with apologiesl" I
said. and the Polish Barnett blazed
up all over again and squared off in
front of me. At this point a police
man entered the dining room and
seized Barnett.
I pleaded earnestly for no arrests,
and I think the first in,sling I got
that anything was wrong came in
the cops broad grin, as I insisted
that he let his prisoner go.
And then they told me. 1t was
all right by me. The only trouble
is that at meeting some day when
Communist heckler gets after me
may fall into the error Of assum-
ing that it's only Luke Barnett's lit
tie brother.
