If i ' APPRO VA L ""PDR'iHOO VEIf j , If there is anything especially significant about the first few weeks of President Hoover's term of office it is the al- most universal approval that has been given his maiden cf- j foi-ts in the new job. Democratic newspapers as well as re- publican and independent' have expressed commendation, j "Ihey sec this as a businesslike administration and seem to 1 have forgotten party differences. I In the New York Times recently, for example, Hoover's I iirst month in office was reviewed with outspoken com- I mendation and The Times is a democratic newspaper and j former supporter of Alfred E. Smith. Other papers have i done likewise. They like his frank treatment of newsmen; they admire his prompt, clean-cut decisions; they approve . his fearlessness in discarding foolish precedents; they com-. :. mend ins refusal to play politics when politics will not serve the cause of efficiency. : ( And no small part of the general enthusiasm over Hoo- ver's start is occasioned by the little measures of economy 5 and modern business efficiency that have already lcen put ; in effect..

OreM April 9 (AIM Georffc Melnffer. G7. was fatally Injured late yesterday when an automobile driven by H. 1 Itapncx struck his bicycle.

He .x y ; . , t, v- ; j calls his cabinet members, saves the time formerly required ior meir journeys 10 uie White House to discuss various mat ters. , He is stin ting in to handle the job of president as the capable, experienced head of a great corporation would handle his. And it's a new experience for this country tin ex perience that its people seem to like. As pointed out in a New York Times editorial Ix-fore the inauguration, Hoover's greatest danger is Uie tendency on the part of many people to consider tne new president a super-man lo expect more thnn is humanly possible from his administration. The same opinion was expressed by Judge Butler, here la.st night on his way buck to Washington for the coming special session. Hut expecting too much of Hoover indicates the existence of utmost confidence in his ability and. public conlidence will be of great assistance sgiving any prooiem. Hoover will not eliminate poverty, nor cause unemploy ment to vanish, nor bring about universal prosperity, lie cannot, "as president, make up for the inefficiency and in competency of the individual citizen. Hut he will, we believe, direct his activities in auch a way that government obsta cles will bo removed from the path of the private individual and private, business, that efficient enterprise and ability will be aided and protected. No chief executive could do more ; many have done less. TRY W. K. GILBERT CO.
