Mr. Hoover inherits a sound organization. He will not be confronted with outrageous scandals as. was Coolidge when he first became president. He will find, with the ex cention of prohibition enforcement, a wholesome state of af " fairs. This will give the new president a flying start toward a successful administration. If he can supply the dynamic which Mr. Coolidge lacked and can keep a working alliance with congress and with public opinion, he can accomplish much during his term in off ice. r ' ; ' : - . New York riTHE Atlantic Monthly reprints the most interesting per- JL sooal letters and diaries on occasion. This remark does not apply to the recent Lincoln "Love Letters" which the At lantic offered to an unreceotive and skeptical public The j current issue has some charming letters from Ellen Randolph Coolidge, favorite granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson, de- rrlhimr her weddincr lournev home in Boston. In New York Mr. and Mrs. Fayette who had arrived in America on his final visit. Her description of the great New York of 1825 which had a pop ulation of about 130,000 is worth reading: "I have seen some of the sights of the place, walked on the famous battery, I . and driven the length of the city which is so immense in comparison with anything I ever saw, of such magnitude and such population with such an appear ance of life and activity that I can scarcely recover from jny surprise. The streets iiterally swarm, the noise is incessant, and overpowering, arid I car never look out of the windowj without fancying there must be some extraordinary occasion! for such rapid and hurried nxvements; such throngs of peo ple; such ringing of bells and hurrying to and fro of men, horses, carriages, eta, etc., but it is always the same." One day they went by the recently invented steamboat to Staten Island ; again she wrote : "This evening I am going to see the ascent of an aeronaut in a balloon at Castle Gar den." They finally reached Boston in the stage-coach. What if dear Ellen could trin todav from Monticello to could almost repeat her language about New York, but what a transformation in aeronautics and transportation she would encounter.

Starr in the senate Saturday night -which prevented his con 1 flrmation to a post on the newly created educational board i of the state. Starr was named by the governor from among i the regents of normal schools, having served as regent for 16 years under three governors. Because Starr is a personal j friend of the governor and his political adviser Senator Klep !.per led a bitter fight against him. ik Starr was endorsed by senators from each of the three counties where there are normal schools: Elliott of Polk, 1 Kiddle of Union, Dunn of Jackson county. Fortunately sen 's ators thought better after a Sunday's reflection and en s dorsed Mr. Starr by avote of 25 to 8. - ( Governor Patterson was given a difficult Job with scant , itime in which, to do it. There will be criticism for this se lection or for that; but a fuller study will show that the board is a well balanced organization.

Parades, fireworks, grandstands and aerial displays are expensive. Yet the only ceremony that is legally required la the actual tak ing of the oath by the incoming president. This, by itself, would take only a minute or so and would not cost a penny. However, we have a love of cer emony, it is impossible for us to feel that any event is really im portant unless it is dressed up. When a peace treaty is signed the signatures must be affixed with flourishes. When a great new building is to be built there must be fuss and feathers in connec tion with the cornerstone. And when a new president Is sworn in the thing must be made as im pressive as possible. Perhaps this is because the race ,1s secretly aware that it makes a great many blunders. Any event that can be made to look use a fresh start of any kind is dressed up accordingly. When we Inaugur ate a president it is as if we were telling ourselves: "Well, now things are going to be different. We'll begin things over again and do better than we have In the Lpast so we'd better have a par ade, and few bands, and set off some sky rockets." Klamath Palls-Herald!.

The maraschino bunch claim in their brief that we cannot rrow enough Royal Ann cherries, and mat we cannot crow a aualitv good as they can get from. Italy ana Spain. s v s Those are snrelr "whtmnmr." The fact is that we rrow a rweet cherry-too good for the maras- cnina monopolists; too large.

On the sixth day Doctor Xlark came to remove the cast. He cnt through the thick plaster, and then almost torn away the cotton and the bandage In his haste to get at the incision. Turning to the nurse he said: "Look at those stitches! That's the best Job of ins X ever did! I'm going to darn my own socks! Young lady, look at that leg! Ton proud of myself. Betty looked at the long cut on her knee In horror. It was semi circle at least six inches long on the inside of her knee cap. Oh, Doctor! Will It leave a scar?" she asked, anxiously. Sure it will, but not a bad one. Just a white streak, wnat do you think of my sewing? Oh. it Is all right. I suppose. Will my limp be cured? Bet your life! You will be dancing In a month, and playing tennis in two of them." Did yon know I u?ed to dance for a living?" asked Betty. "Ne, but I am glad to hear It. As soon as we can we will begin to exercise this knee. I will have one of my nurses massage It for you; then you can resume your dancing practice to limber it no again. But did you ever see such rernlar stitches?" "The stitches aTe wonderful!" lauehed Betty. "But not so won derful as the news that I can dance again if I want to." "How women do love to show their legs!" scoffed the doctor. "I love to dance!" "That's whot I juet said!" pro tested the doctor. "But that isn't the reason I like to dance. "Oh. well, have it your way. With skirts as short as they are now I don't see why you bother to dance." "You are hopeless! When yon eet an idea you hang on to it, don't yon?" "TJmhuh! We need a light bondage on this now. but I nre bate to cover up such a good-look-ng Job!" - In a couple of days Doctor Clark was back to remove the stitches. That sounded ai though it was going to be a terrible per formance, and Betty was sur prised because she wasn't hurt. The doctor was'so absorbed In ad miring his work that Betty, with -Mfflcultv. induced him to tell her the condition of her leg. "Why. It's all right of course. I knew It would be. You can go home tomorrow if you like. Come o mv offic three times a week for the next month. We will bake and massage this knee. Then roo will be an right, but use it as much as you can." George Harris came for her the following day and took her back o Mrs. Hogan's. where she reted for a week before going bacV to her work as cashier at Oeorre'n restaurant.
