70 the pfe0king point, AerpeEb spoke the words but Charley thought them up.
 Some Wheat
 Tn the heap of political chaff which Mir. Hoover piled up before the assembled grass-rooters there is Q grain or two os wheat Co be found. While he took A bow on the farm credit machinery cstAb- lIshed by Republican administra- tions, Mir. Hoover admitted that it had been improved by the New Deal and conceded that beyond these measures this farm situation is now one where still further emergency measures pending gene eral economic recovery are Eleces- Bary." President Roosevelt should be grateful for any good word, however grudgingly said, about the New Deal, especially when it Is spoken by MT. Hoover, pardon me, by Mir. Allen of Kansas. The President should also welcome tho concession made by his most in- sistent attacker that on emergen- cy still exists in the agricultural situation even though the eus preme Court refused to ndEnit it. Whats This?
 But Mfr. Roosevelt should Do tickled pink to hear from Mir. Hoover'S Mfr. Allen that we shall need to open our minds to fur. ther experiement." This coin- fnentator was under tho impress sion that in tho eyes of Republic cans and Ropublicrats the dead- Hest sin committed by the Demo- cratic administration is that it performed experiments. MT. Hoover doubtloss meant that the further experiments" should Do placed in tho hands of himself or his party because it makes ell the difference in the world whose experiment it is and who does tho experimenting. It is regrets table but true that the great mass of the American people res momhoring Herberts idea os nos bility in experimentation still prefer Mir. RooseveitS kind. Not nll of the admlnistrati0n's OK. periinents turned out as oxpect- cd and hoped for. But they were truly noble in character and con. ception and given an honest chance ell of them would have worked. The essential difference between the President and Mfr. Hoover as experimentalists TO. mains as it always has been. MT. Roosevelt had the courage of hiG convictions and his critic did not possess tho pluck of his lack of them. The ono succeeded in most of his "oxperiments." The other failed in oil and tho electorate res members the failure.
 Time Out.
 Colonel Frank Knox took R night 0R last week from assault- Ing tho Roosevelt administration to attempt to slap down Edward A. Fiiene Of Boston for saying that tour newspapers are usually owned and controlled by tho spec cial interests. The colonel is the publisher of the Chicago Daily News. He is also by way Of being . candidate for tho Republican presidential nomination. ft was in his capacity as newspaper pub- liBher rather than as potential nominee that Colonel Knox took Mir. FilonO across his knee and got out tho hairbruBh. Tho Dos- ton drygoods store operator had taken tho press to task because h0 expressed the conviction that tho national administration work. ing for . better distribution Of wealth was being pasted from pillar to post by tho great news. papers of the nation for that very roason. Tn its policies the admin. istration had "somehow como into conflict with the great financial and business interests" and be- cause of that conflict was being pilloriod by tho newspapers at tho mitigation of said interests.
