HOOVER
What Kind of Man.
Sursum Corda.
It Meant "I Do Not
Choose."
Rigid Nothing.
(Copyright, 1SS7, by Now Tork
y Evening Journal. Inc.)
A country with war for it a
principal business needs ii man
understandinR war.
This country with business,
commerce and enptincerins for
principal occupations needs a
man that understands those
things.
Herbert Hoover is a trained
engineer and thorough business
man. Kvery business man who
has conic in contact with the
Department of Commerce, un
der Hoover, can testify to its
efficiency. It touches every
business interest in the United
States.
In New York, VTcdnctflay,
' I.essinK Ilosenwald, vice-president
of Sears, Koebuck & Com
pany, said : "I went to the Ar
gentine, to sec about establish
ing brunches there. It was nec
essary to have detailed infor
mation as to business condi
tions, credits, methods' of do
ing business, etc.
"I called at the Department
of Commerce, in charge of Sec
retary Hoover, and was amazed
at the completeness of informa
tion open to every American
. business man."
Hoover understands business
and the country" and,' as' Mr.
Ilosenwald said, "he has earned
by actual accomplishment the
chance to show what he can dp
as President."
Wednesday Wall Si reel, de
cided to take the "Sursum cor
da" advice and lifted up its
heart and its prices.
A Chicago man named Cut
ten, said to have eclipsed all
stock operation records in his
tory, has for his motto, "You
must know when to leave the
corpse." And lie says the time
"to leave" has not yet come.
Some of the 'stocks that
seemed to have folded their
tents like the Arabs, to silently
steal away, came 'biiek With a
bang. Dent lemon that sold
lialdwin Locomotive short and
saw it jump back from to
2fl, going as high as 275, de
cided to wait until it is a little
deader.
A visitor to the White House
feeling important said to Presi
dent Coolidge: "Mr. Coolidge,
I must tell you I did not vote
lor you."
"Well," replied the Presi
dent, "some did."
Today, some know the mean
ing of the expression, "I do not
choose." The "draft. Coolidge"
(Mthusiasts feel like the wed
ding guest in "The Khyinc of
the Ancient Mariner," who
"sat on a stone, ho could not
choose but hear." .
Will lingers, born out west,
does not understand New Kng
Jiinrt speech, and that cost him
:noo.
The Republican platform ac
cepted Senator Horah'a proposal,
"ri-'tld dry enforcement," which
means exactly nothing. We nre
supposed to have strict enforcement
now. Actually "rigid dry enforce
ment" means rigid collecting of
bribe money.
Westminster Abbey Britisher
were on their knceB yesterday it
ins; for acceptance or rejection of
the new prayer hook.
They might give Omnlsccnce, to
whom the prayers nre addressed,
credit for knowing what is In the
hearts of those that pray.
Hut men still attach importance
to words.
