"Haietls record right up to the pres
ent time is one confirming his early
reputation for courtesy and kindli
ness," says Joseph H. Albert, president
of the Capital National bank. Mr. Al
bert had very little opportunity to
meet Hoover, during his boyhood here
as the bank president was getting Into
the banking game at the bottom rung
ox the ladder, and Hoover was work
ing over time in the office of the Ore
gon Land company.
However, Mr. Albert has pleasant
recollections of a visit to Stanford uni
versity with Hoover in 1983, two years
after the future food administrator
had entered the California coliem.
"Despite the limited chance for pre
vious acquaintance, Bert, met me at
Manlo Park and showed himself to be
a genuine good fellow, escorting me
through the grounds and doing every
thing to make my first visit to tho
school enjoyable," recalls the banker.
"Our impression of him Is that he Is
most thoughtful, courteous and unself
ish."
Prominence and prosperity. These
are two of the causes of "exaggerated
ego and common "onery class bump
tiousness." "None of that In Bert's
case, w-hen you come to know him."
says another of Herbert Hoover's old-
rer Salem acquaintances. Perhaps
many of the Journal readers have
heard of Hoover's action in making
an allowance for his grandmother,
Mrs. Mary Mlnthorn, during her last
years. ,
When Hoover returned In 1900 from
China, he was already known as one
of the highest salaried mining engl
neers on the Taclflc coast. There is
no sign that this recognition of his
successful fight for advancement had
turned the head of the former Salem
lad. Immediately after arriving In the
United States, Hoover came to Salem
for a visit to "Grandma Mlnthorn,
Although "grandma" was well pro
vided for, so far as her Immediate
needs were concerned, Sort's auemiwn
was drawn to the fact that "grandma"
liked to have a lltlte extra money for
charity and for the aid of the strug
gling Quaker church, And so, Bert set
aside a certain sum for her.' When
"grandma," expostulated with him for
doing this, said is said to have received
this reply: "Grandma, it la that I have
plenty. What is to hinder my placing
a sum at thy credit and thou need to
worry thyself no more concerning tnu
matter." This Incident Is vouched for
by Mrs. Phoebe Hammer of Salem, an
aunt and sister of Herbert Hoover.

manner is reflective of his mother. I

venom and contempt on the flight of
Emperor William, which they char
acterized as a desertion of the colors,
although that flight was accomplish
ed In circumstances justifying less
severe condemnation. That same gov
ernment now has forsaken Us duty
and left Berlin without so much as
an attempt to defend Itself, as It had
every possibility of doing.
'The. statement that the " troops,
were unreliable was uttered solely In
order to cause its own flight to b
more favorably regarded. A govern
