MR. HOOVER'S COMING
"Snrinfffield is fortunate in the Drospect of hearing Her
bert Hoover deliver next week in person his message of appeal
for the starvation-threatened children of Europe, ihe audi
torium will doubtless be crowded by those who wish to hear Cfla'f;
and see this vigorous and remarkable man.
"But for Mr. Hoover's couraee. resourcefulness, genius
for organization and sheer audacity when menaced again and
again by the red tape of European officialdom, the-population
of the world would today be smaller by millions. Nor does
any American love him less because of the terse message, sim
ilar to that attributed to Col. Whittlesey. of the 'Lost Battal-
ion, which he sent two German emissaries on their way to beg
food indulgences of him after the war. He was not unmindful
of German sufferings, but he could not forget that this same
precious pair in other days had thwarted and balked his ef
forts to feed the starving people of Belgium.' Germany might
send other envoys, but as for these two he told them, in plain
English tranlatable into plain German, where they could go.
"fThis American engineer, whose great accomplishment
lay in building almost overnight a vast machine of mercy com
posed of jnen and women devoted to their work and to him,
has stirred the imagination of the world perhaps more than
any military commander of the war. Sometimes m the past
this nation has concerned itself as to what should become of I
its ex-Presidents. As for defeated' candidates for presidential
nominations, these have very frequently sunk from public
sight. But Mr. Hoover, reluctantly entering the contest for
the Republican nomination as the representative of a cause
rather than as one politically ambitious, is today more and not
less of a figure than before the Chicago convention. There
are 'great tasks to which he may be called. But first is the
task to which he calls the people of this rich country: The
saving from starvation of the children of Europe who shall be
the friends of our own children and of this nation in the days
to come." - . .
, ' The above is copied from the Springfield, Mass., Republi
can of last Tuesday, partly to show in what esteem our former
Salem boy, Herbert Hoover, is held in this country
J And partly to express the wish that Salem's $7000 share
" of this relief fund may be oversubscribed this week
'And Marion county's share, too; sand Oregon's share
Partly as a testimonial to our own Herbert Hoover
.j But more for the cause he represents. .
; t "For he would hot wish that anyjbf: the honor should be
given to him, unless it would help in' securing the funds for
the, starving children whose lives he pleads for at the hands
of the American people, the only people who can save those
lives., - ;!,;,- ' U h
