(Boston News Bureau.) Logic and sentiment made the first place nominaticn at Kan City inevitable, and the name of Hoover irresistible. More typical party strategy and sifting of possibilities dictated the selection of h running mate. There was no sudden happy “accident” as at Chicago eight ago. The sweep of practical consideration culminated in the virtual stampede of the dele- | gations to Curtis The addition of Curtis is obviously the sequel to desire in the convention to secure the most effective balancing of forces, geographical and otherwi to round out the initial selection and the platform of principles. It is not simply a Westerner from Kansas, as an exponent of the great cereal States, but also the leader of the counc in the Senate, who is chosen. In that sense there may be calculated a supplement- strength added to the appeal of Hoover. appeal may confidently be expected to campaign clarifies, and as person- iples are delineated for the vot- victory was the final blossoming had been long in growth. It was large measure in idealism,—itself the appreciation of the engineer in such roles as those which have admiringly cited by Edison. It was captured first; head he more slowly hat ities and pri er. The Hoover forth cf what rooted in a linked with and economist, just been heart he captured. The non-professionals among ers achieved their great and perhaps surprising (to professionals) success in the cultivation of the latent Hoover sentiment in the country into ways of practical manifestation. They had a wide and deep background to work with and from, the chief task being to focus it and make it visible and vocal. That has now been done, in apitalizing in terms of votes the romance that dates back to Belgium and the proved capacity in office harking back to 1921. The one most distinguished thing about Hoov- er—himself so often superficially thought of as lacking in magnetism—has been the loyalty he has unfailingly inspired among his subordinate co-workers in every venture, from the first relief Iventure down to the cheers which greeted his nomination among the Department of Com- merce staff. The task now is to spread that appreciation and enthusiasm. A good beginning has been made in Hoover's own enunciation, to the convention, of principles that shall guide him. He makes it clear that he regards himself as the heir to Coolidge. The country is now to learn that exposition. political work- A Report on Tariff Flexibility. (New York World.) The Senate committee appointed at the last Congre to investigate the' Tariff Commission has finally submitted its report. It is signed by Senators Robinson. of Arkansas, Bruce and La while Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, the only regular Republican on the committee since the retirement of Senator Wadsworth, filed a brief report dissenting from the conclusions of the majority. The committee favors the repeal of the flexi- ble provisions of the Tariff Law. No special in- vestigation was needed to demonstrate the fail- ure of flexibility, but the evidence obtained by the committees helps to clinch the case against. it. ot only has flexibility been distorted into up- ward revision, but its administration has led to bitter disputes within the commission and to suspicions among its members of the good faith of their colleagues. Many important cases have dragged on for four or five years with no final |action, | The committee recommends that the President be relieved of the embarrassment of acting on the commission’s reports and that tariff-making be restored to the legislative branch of the Gov- ernment. The commission should assist Congress in framing legislation by submitting data and recommendations at the beginning of each ses- sion, and the secrecy mendations should be abandoned. It is urged that ‘appointments to the commis- sion of former representatives of organizations or interests concerned directly with the work of the commission should be discontinued. This is evidently aimed at the first three Harding ap- pointees, Messrs, Marvin, Burgess and Glassie, each of whom had had some previous interest with business affected by the tariff, A rider to the Appropriation Bill for 1925 was aimed to correct this sort of situation, but it applied only to that year.
