MIR. HOOVER'S ssCIEAR THINKING"

Ever since Herbert Hoover got his wounds healeo up after 1882 and came out of hiding to agah lace the political world he has been stewng about person. al liberty and viewing everything Democratic With the traditional degree of alarm His latest outburst was that the New Deal has corrupted clear thinking. Of course he didn't clear thinking at all. lie meant Hoover thinking The sort of thinking which left millions of our people destitute and MT Hoover and his special interest crowd in command
 The fact MT. Hoover overlooked is that the New Deal just started the people thinking again They had been lued into mental inaction by the Hoover stock market prosperity his promise of two in every garage and two chickens in each pot; which culm- mated in no jobs where grew before But the eyes of the American people have been opened and they are thinking again which may be unfortunate for the Sage of Palo Alto and his money baron crowd
 MT Hoover chortles about economic freedom and the advance of civilization How far pray tell us, did civilization advance in those four hectic years o Hoover control which brought about the closing ol every bank in the land; the formation ot bread lines q mile long and spirit of revolt into the heart of every genuine American under the flag? Perhaps, the former President who has the doubtful honor with Coolidge and Harding of having served under Andrew Mellon who did the clear thinking in those days will never realize just how close he came to throwing civilization in this country entirely overheard and making every man law unto hlmSe1 II that was
 sample of economic freedom, we venture the people of this country don't want any more of 1t.
 But then we shouldn't be too hard on MT. Hoovf We also note that Henry Fletcher, Chief of the Re- publican high command reports the G. O. P. is out of the red and has quarter of million dollars avail able to pour into the campaign Could be that situa- ton in any way effects MT Hoovers clear thinking?

ODD TURNINGS

It is too soon to answer these questions, and whatever the po- litical managers may say for pub lication, they are making no at tempt in their own minds to for mulate final judgment now Much remains to be disclosed
 The strange twist of current po- litical groupings and the impossi- bility of measuring voting strength by the old standards, was aptly il- lustrated by one incident at Phila- delphia.
 On the same day two Pennsyl- vania welcoming addresses were de- livered to the convention.
 One was spoken by a Democratic Governor of a Republican State, who until recently had been a Re- publican and whose forebears con- stituted a famous Republican fam fly for many years back.
 The other came from a Repub- lican Mayor, who had been a Democrat and who had been el- ected to his office on the Re- publican ticket while still enrolled as a Democrat.

N w YO R K, July '. = Mrs. James Roosevelt, mother of the President, finds it a simple matter to reply when asked if she is proud of her son, Franklin.
 I've always been proud of him, ' is her invariable answer.
 And that goes back many years -long before her only child became the nations Chief Executive or stood for reelection.
 As boy he used to make things for her = brackets to put on the wall, and pictures which he painted himself. He had a great deal of boyish skill in his hands" she once said.
 Rode Alcng On His Pony
 Courage and strength of charac- ter were displayed early by the President, his mother has told. He was about seven years old when the men folk left on a hunt. Frank lin had pony and went along. He was expected to turn back shortly, but it was hours before he arrived home.
 Aren't you awfully tired?" his mother asked when he cane back
 Well, little" he admitted.
 Why did you take such a long ride the:9"
 Why mother" he replied. T couldn't turn back and let the rest of them go on"
 His father, James Roosevelt, was a lawyer with financial and rail- road interests He numbered among his friends many famous men of his time, including Grover Cleve- land. The older Roosevelt, a keen student of public affairs, often en- tertained distinguished guests, and young Roosevelt, listening to dis cussions at his Hyde Park, N. Y., home, first found his interest in politics awakened during this per- iod. His father died in 1900.
 Two Generations Use Nursery
 The Presidents mother also re- calls how young Franklin, at the age of four, trundled his cousin. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, on his back when she was brought on a visit. She was two. Nineteen years later she saw them married. The Hyde Park nursery where Frank lin's enthusiastic hospitality was displayed later became the play room of his own children
 Mrs. Sara Roosevelt, now 81, was her sons own childhood nurse, di- recJed his early education and saw his political beginnings as State Senator. March 4, 1883, may have marked the proudeSt moment of her life when, after the inaugural ceremonies at w a h ing t on, she lunched with her son and daughter inlaw in the White House. In her book, My Boy Franklin" she told the story of his babyhood and boy hood.
 Sometimes, when speaking before women's groups, she has referred to Franklin as my son, the Presi dent"
