REPRESENTATIVES IN Ua, Powers and Stone, Inc., New York and Chicago, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1928 A PRESIDENT IS ELECTED = Today the United States of America has a new president--Herbert Hoover, with fifty three years behind him, is the man who was yesterday elected to guide the destinies of his country until March 1933, His victory over the picturesque governor of New York, Al Smith, shows that Uniteg States electors went to the polls yesterday to vote, not only for the man who they thought best fitted for the high office of president, but also for one who was pledged to continue the policies of Calvin Coolidge, which have brought prosperity to the coun- try over the border, and prestige among the nations of the world, The man who is virtually, now, the presi- dent of the United States, awaiting only the official endowment of power in March next, has a record of achievement both in peace and war, his work as chairman of the Com- mission for Relief in Belgium, winning him the homage of the world, and a leading place in the history of this generation, It- was this relief work that brought him prominently before the eyes of the nations of the world and the people of his own coun- try. In the course of this work he maintained, over a period of four years the life of ten million people and was responsible for the expenditure of approximately a billion dol- lars; for the operation of a fleet of 200 ships and for the distribution of food and supplies on a scale never dreamed of before, In all these vast operations no one has ever heard a hint or suggestion regarding the accounting' of the smallest item, and upon the signing of the armistice the Ger- man government placed unreservedly in Mr. Hoover's hands the sum of two hundred and fifty millions of dollars in gold, with the request that he use it at his discretion to buy food for the starving German children, This, in itself, was one of the greatest tri- butes ever paid to any man. To the people of Canada, Hoover is best known as the United States food adminis- trator--a position which he occupied tollow- ing the entry of the United States into the war, Holding this post he was responsible for mobilizing the food resources of America in order to supply the allies with the food, to maintain armies to win battles at the front and maintain morale among the civil- ian populations behind the lines, Again Hoover's conspicious and efficient leadership made a place for him among the noteworthy men of the world, When the war ended Mr, Hoover's work was not done-- he was immediately appointed chairman of the Supreme Economic Council of the allies charged with restoring war-torn Europe to a state of stability. In this work his officials, stationed in twenty countries and directed by Hoover from Paris, carried on the work of reconstruction. Under his direction they rebuilt and op- erated railways, restored telegraphs, or- ganized food warehouses and distributing stations and worked consistently. as an agency of peace, a bulwark against chaos in ail Central and Eastern Europe which was tottering on the brink of Bolshevism. A hundred million people, at that time, felt the direct effect of his will for order, system, humanity and work. Millions of people, Poles, Lithuanians, Finns, Czechs, Serbs, Germans and Aus- trians owe to him their lives and the preser- vation «of their children. Aczin in 1920-21, Bussia, ostracized by the | world for her political doctrines, turned to this man, when famine laid its grizzly hand upon the land--and it found Hoover ready. Mobilizing the latent sympathy and re- sources of the American people Hoover, by organization and direction, secured the ne- cessary money and distributed the food which saved the lives of 150 million people from starvation. Again, too, this gigantic operation of mercy, uninque in the history of the world, stamped Hoover as an illustrious figure in the annals of American history. It was not to be wondered at, then, that this man was selected for a position in tne United States cabinet, going to the post of Secretary of Commerce in 1921, and in seven years transforming that department from a comparatively unimportant governmental agency into, perhaps, the most important and the most efficient department of the United States government. Here, this man of destiny, gave hia best effort to the stabilizing of American busi ness and employment. Following the policy of President Coolidge, he eliminated waste in American business methods and is credit- ed with saving his country a billion dollars a year, by effecting economies, This saving was reflected to consumers through a reduc- tion in prices, Foreign markets were open- ed for American goods and American work- men felt the throbbing of prosperity through steady employment, a higher standard of liv. ing and a liveable wage, It was soon seen that under President Coolidge was a directing hand and an en- gineer of genius, possessed of tireless energy and of great constructive imagination, Hoover did not always "stick to his job"-- he performed a multitude of extra depart- mental tasks, he handled the unemployment problem and settled labour disputes and gave willingly of his experience and judgment in many situations, Among his latest ministrations may be mentioned encouragement of aviation, con. trol of radio, development of the inland waterways, flood relief work in the Mississ- ippi Valley and New England, Hoover has often been called the Secre- tary of Commerce and undersecretary of every other department and "The Man of Emergencies," Bill Rogers, the philosopher mayor of Beverley Hills, and America's fore- most humorist rightly said that when any odd jobs were lying around in Washington, the American people "chose" to confer them on Mr, Hoover, When Mr, Coolidge with- drew from the presidential race the presi- dency itself was "Lying around" and the American people, this time at the polls and in no unmistakable fashion, have again con- ferred the job on Mr, Hoover, To the presidency Mr, Hoover brings an intimate personal knowledge of all countries of the earth and of their governments and leaders, such as few other living men pos- Sess, He brings to the presidency, too, an un- rivalled understanding of American com- merce and industry and the economic forces which underlie prosperity, There is a distinguished man at the head of the United States government today in the person of Herbert Hoover, and Canada, her nearest neighbour, depending, in a great measure for its own prosperity, upon the prosperity of its neighbour across the bor- der, will feel a certain elation today in the fact that such a man has received the high est gift in the power of the people of the United States, EDITORIAL NOTES The only thing wrong with any country is thie people, The crux of the parking problem seems to be that thus far science has succeeded in discovering only three dimensions, | Lit of Verse Friend, though thy soul should burn thee, yet be still Thoughts were not meant for strife, nor tongues for swords, He that sees clear, is gentlest of his words, And that's not truth that hath the heart to kill, The whole world's thought shall not one truth fulfill, Dull in our age and passionate in youth, No mind of man hath found the perfect truth, Nor shalt thou find it; therefore friend be still. Watch and be still, nor hearken to the fool, The babbler of consistency and rule; Wisest is he, who never quite secure Changes his thought for better day by day; Tomorrow some new light will shine; be sure; And thou shalt see thy thoughts another way. --Archibald Lampman {COMMANDMENTS FOR HEALTH GIVEN BY COMMISSIONER Chamber of Commerce Members Hear Righ Mode of Living New York, N.

"On the brink of the tomb and hefore the whole world, I swear that Conchita (Concepcion) had no responsibility in this crime," cried the young assassin as he reached the climax of his story, in defence of the nun, who is accused of being the "intellectual instigator' of the crime.

"In a few months." predicted Dr. W. L. Callie, "we will see changes in results from treatment here which would bave been considered miracles before." Internally, he continued, the building was a triumph of science. The site was superb. The hospital combined efficiency with a mini- mum of cost. The wards were un- equalled in any other children's hospital. They were small, consis- ting of eight beds each, and were in the nature of verandahs so that pa- tients could spend most of the year out of doors. "It is the greatest advance in the treatment of child: ren's disease in my time," he ai- firmed.

Countess told the maid them away but the girl thought they were too heautiful and kept them in her room. The next day the maid was found dead in bed. The roses had disap- peared. A doctor declared death had been due to apoplexy. Here was mystery enough.
