SMITH AND SECRETARY HOOVER. W. W. Jermane, an associate editor of the Seattle Times, who every day by telegraph sends that paper an exclusive article, has picked Gov. Smith for the Democratic Presidential nomina- tion and Secretary Hoover for the Republican. It might be well to ‘consider this in connection with the ecircumstance that Mr. Jermane Is probably as widely quoted as any other Wash- ington correspondent or political writer of any kind. Under the circumstances we have no apology to make for producing in this column Mr. Jer- mane's comment upon Gov. Smith and Mr. Hoover their Presidential chances and fitness. GOV. SMITH Smith is wet, a Catholic and a leader of Tammany Hall. Such a handicap never before has been car- ried by any man seeking a Presidential nomination. It would overcome any- body of less ability and fitness the office and it may overcome GOy Smith. But before it does, everybody will know that there has been a fight. . . * Gov. The dries are giving too little thought to the tenacity of purpose the Smith delegates will show. The dries think they are tenacious, and they are; but in this respect they probably will have no advantage over their opponents, who also will be tanding for what they belleve is a great principle. . . . No better evidence of Gov. Smith's strength could be given than the con- centration of dry attack upon him. Na- tional conventions representing various of the important dry elements have this year devoted much of their time to telling why he should not, and must not, be nominated. Their task was im- passioned, and behind it was a feeling of opposition that at times expressed itselt as malignant hatred. It Gov. Smith were not the leading candidate, there would have been little or none of this. Meanwhile, he is saying and doing nothing to further his candidacy. He told the people of New York State, dur- ing the 1926 campaign, that, if re- elected Governor, he would stay at home and devote all his time to the duties of that office. This he has done, and this he seems likely to continue to do. His campaign is well in hand, however, his supporters feel encouraged more and more as it progresses, and they are con- fident he will win next summer. That is the proper attitude of mind for them to take. His case would be in weak hands if any element of doubt entered into what his managers say. . . . 1 believe Gov. Smith’s nomination would have a clarifying effect on our politics. It would bring out into the open, and subject to an acid test, some- thing that unless checked will work great harm to the country. As to whether he were elected or not, 1 should care far less than T should care for a decision at the polls be- tween him and his opponents. If defeated, it would be many a year ‘efore anybody carrying a similar handi- cap aspired to the Presidency; if el- etted, his Administration of the affairs of that great office would thoroughly dit those who have been attack- n. 1 say this without any sense thip. 1 do mnot claim to be at, - and my Protestant an- w ‘back into Colonial times. ge American citizen, Yeligious feel- Treadwell and | the | up to a white heat over something that is mot going to happen.

They are guided by such light as they have, as is true of all of us.

HOOVER paper and also the| dras-| rea- | strong | ulation. | evils | The most formidable candidate, with Mr. Coolidge out of the way, is Hoover, who is one of the really important men of the country, and is admirably fitted for the Presidency. He would make a | shining record in that office. I weigh my words as I say these things. He isn’t popular with the poli- tiei but that is in his favor, pro- vided it does not defeat him in the convention. His grasp on the big econ- omic questions—foreign and domestic-— around which our politics will group itself for the years that are just ahead, is more secure than that of any other American whom I can recall. He is a walking encyclopedia of ac- curate knowledge respecting all these things, and has gathered that knowledge at first hand as the result of study covering many In this resp he towers above the other possibil ties—excepting Coolidge —like a giant among pigmies And he has a mind is #o ordered as to permit him to his knowledge understanding- and apply it wisely to the solution rican problems. These are sweep- they are merely the all Mr. statements, but truth Hoover's point-—is his politics, which often disgusts him.' training makes him impatient with insincerities and hypocricies, and with the superficialities of so many of the men who make their living out of it. From another standpoint, weakness of that kind is an element of strength. The moment such a man gets before the voters, they turn to him with a rush, weakness—from one stand- ineptitude for practical His its with him in patronage matters and the other petty things of give and take which occupy so much of a President's They could on a time.

Nullification committee on the Roosevelt Medal Herbert Hoover a boost. Even the award has given Detective Stories. (Hastings, Neb., Tribune.) It is safe to say that the majority of the male readers are interested, more or less, in detective stories, and this is specially true of literary workers. Conan Doyle is the greatest writer of de- tective stories known to the world. His famous character, Sherlock Holmes, is known in every country on the globe. Conan Doyle has killed offt Sherlock Holmes twice, but the reading public will not stand for it, they forced him to put the famous fiction detective back on the job. Almost every day one can find plenty of material in the average newspaper for story writ- ing that will sound like fiction. For instance, here is one: The key to the mystery of the Sis- kiyou tunnel murder was found by a chemistry professor who deduced his clue from a rag, a stone, and a strand of hair. According to the newspaper story the rag was a pair of soiled, tar-smeared overalls, the stone was a pebble of rock salt which was found clinging to the over- alls, and the hair a single chance strand which had fallen from the head of the murderer and lodged in the shoulder seam of the garmen. That reads like the starting of a Sherlock Holmes story yet, it was through such slight clues that three murderers were traced and brought back from the ends of the earth.

Of course, it is her own affair but those who take an interest in world affairs and particularly in British affairs are bound to interest themselves in the affairs of Ireland.
