Secretary Mellon says, refer ring Jo the president1' : "Mr. Hoover seems to come ' closest to the standard that we have set for this high office." Those few words have caused political talk to boil over. Mr. Mellon controls the Pennsylva- j r.oa delegation that could make ; Hoover 'h nomination practical-' lv certain. Mr. Mellon, one of tllC men j bent suited for the presidency, j mm that would have had on-1 r i thllsiastlC support, seems to j ..;h,l..o..r l,;u nn,.IA r,.n, : consideration. .Millions will re gret this. No man has a following greater than Mr. Mellon's, among serious American busi ness men. His Hoover endorse ment will kill off much hostil ity to Hoover among certain Wall Street men. Their stand ard is money, Mellon has it ten and a hundred times what tlie average "rich Mellon crit ic" has. They will conclude that Hoo ver is good enough for them, if good enough for Mellon. Some, that do not know Mr. Mellon, will call his statement the first step toward a scat in ; the Hoover blind wagon. Mr. Mellon needs no mini's gooil v ill, or assistance. Close friends that know how pnniostly Mellon hoped for t'oolitlge's acceptance of a sec ond election, will ' conclude that he hass abandoned that hope. President Coolidge would l ave been his first choice. Ilepublienn victory Mr. Mel lon takes for granted and iov- have let that moment slip by It is hard to turn an avalanche, a.

M This is Joan of Arc's day and representatives of those most active in burning her alive will make the prcatcst fuss over her, r,ow that she is a memory. 4 With only 2",0(M1,000,000 ears in use and only 5,00(1,1X10 new enrs a year, each would have to run five years.

Talent, under cross-examination testified that he ordered Wilkle to leave town, after a conference with District Attorney Chaney, "because of the trouble he was getting Into." The "trouble," he said, was "representing himself as a fede ral agent, nnd because he was known - to the bootleggers who had threatened to kill him." "We did it for hla own good," testified Talent. Talent testified that he first met Wilkle in 1920, and waa present when he was hired, at the rate of $0 per day each, for both him self and wife.

He testified, he received the check May 16, 192fi when his work ceased, and that he signed receipts for the money and receipts In blank. Four receipts were Introduced as exhibits and Identified bis signatures thereon, the defendant official retaining them. The transaction occurred in C'haney's office, the witness said. The receipts were read to the Jury by Beclal Prosecutor Johnson. Wilkle testified that he did nn work for District Attorney Chaney after May 15, 1926, and that he did not work for him at any other pe riod, other than from May 6 to May 15, 1926.- The witness said he moved te the Herben apartment after May 15. He sought under cover work in Klamath Falls and Salem, and agaltt went to Salem when he was "ordered out of town by Chaney and Talent." with the words, "Don't bite the hand that's feeding you." The witness said In June he received a telegram from Chaney. "Come anl set your fam ily.". Al the closing feature of his testimony, Wllkie was handed a check, made, payable to him for 6J10. and signed by District Attor ney Chaney.
