SITH AND HOOVER Galls Democrat Humanitarian ad Repabican Poitician @pecial te the Herald) N.r':chq Oct. 20.—Alfred EI Smith was described as a great hu-! mantarian and Herbert Hoover as a | politician by Gov. Albert C. mmhwi of Maryland at a democratic rully; in this city last night. Gov. Ritchie| traced the carcers of the candi- dates for president and said that it Smith is elected he will carry into the White House the great human impulses that have rharked his rise from the “Sidewalks of New York." Gov. Ritchic's speech follows: *I hear the people profess to dis- trust Smith because he came up to| high position by the Tammany Hall route. They se:m to think thal‘ Hoover descended upon us from | high Olympus fully accoutcred as a great political warrior and leader. It is true that Hoover tries to create| the impression that he is above | practical politics, and that he moves n the rarefied atmosphere of higher | statesmanship and in the realm of pure economic law. Well, lets see about that. “Fourteen years ago, When the dark war clouds descended upon us, Hoover was unknown. By his skill | and shrewdness as a mining exper(! he had accumulated a great fortune. | He had lived nearly all his adult life abroad and was by way of b!comlng; a good Englishman. The war broke. Hoover came to be the American| resident abroad who was emrusteJl with the disposition of the great ar-: elief which we sent to un- ; hauled hardwood over G0 miles of | »'.Z}lf,; Blgz*:gium. Millions of suffer- |corduroy roads to build this parish | ing people came to look upon him as the world's great almoner and as the symbel of American sympathy | and charity. He was his own boss| in this great work Lim deserved glory. | “Then we entered the war. Hoov- er was made food administrator, | and we put behind him all our pa- | triotism and all our zeal to win the, war, His powers were unprecedent- | ed, and anyone who might have| thought of criticizing his exercise of these powers would have been re- rded as a traitor to his country. x-ll this made Hoover a familiar| pame in every houschold. He came | out of the war as the one great| civilian hero. I do not question that| he deserved all the glory he gotand | #¢ he made mistakes, I am not com- | petent to pass on them. Up to this point, T doubt whether he ever cast an American vote. Capitalizes Position “Having now tasted the fruits of popular acclaim, Mr. Hnover decided | he would like to be President, was his right. He determined to capitalize all this war enthusiasm and patriotism for his cwn advan- tage. He went about it like a good engineer. He got out his compasses and his scale rule and laid out a plgn. He began to study practical politics. First, he must decide whether he was to he & Democrat or a Republican. He had some trouble on that point. In 1920 we find him saying that he could not yet tell which It was to be. He was sure of only one thing and that is that he wouldn’t belong to the party that wasn't for the League of Nations and thag wouldn't undertake to play & great part in Europe. He saw him- welf a great world political figure. Then he got a job in the Harding @abinet; that definitely made him a Republican. “He now began to develop his first political policy—that is, the| poliey of silence. He sat silent while | Fall and Daugherty and Forbes and | the forces of corruption were at| work. Political expediency, he thought, demanded silence then, he thinks it does now on so many things about which we should like to hear from him. “But while Hoover was converting sllence into a political cult, he was, at the same time developing his own eylt of practical politics. He set up | a political organization all his own. With ample funds he lined up men, and kept the country flooded with adroit Hoover publicity and propa- #anda. He had a marvellous staff of first class writers all singing his praise,—some singing for love and some for lucre and some for the hope of benefi:s to come. Then he quietly annexed the Southern dele- gates in th old orthodox Republican way, played the ends against the middle, and went down the middl: where a middle road exist:d, until finally the trick was turned, and the richest man cver active in Amer- fcan politics and the biggest political bess Philadelphia ever had, united to endorse his work and call it §ood. “And still they tell you that Hoover is not a product and an ex- ponent of practical politics, and that Smith is! | “Hoover reached his position by the new twentieth century methods of the aristocrat, and if he goes into the White House, he will take with him ail his statis nd charts and blueprints and engineering efficiencies; b are not the political cfficic make a good President, with the direction and control of the great human facto which produce our probl. ernment. Smith Rises On Democratic Route “Smith reached his position by the step by step route of the demo- crat, and this has given him some- thing that, after all, is required to solve popular needs and to initiate sound governmental policies. It has glven him human understanding and a heart. “Smith can hire all the engineers the country needs, and all the stati tles and charts and blueprints; Lut he has the heart. Neither Hoover nor‘anyone else who doesn't that already can ever hire it has it, and because h people trust him just o trusted Lincoln. In him the 1 inspired champion and ional leader come to equalize the bleesings of this rich land “Thers has never be American public life tributed more to those things whieh the average man and are vitally Interested 1 Covarath 8mith has contributed.

Nashua, Jowa, Oct. 20 UP—"The Little Brown Church in the Vale” made famous by a seng from the pen of a traveler who admired it 50 vears ago, has added to its distinc- tion as a matrimonial shrine. the same hand-h>wn altar where Congregational pioneers from | New England first worshipped in [ mer the youthful pastor, Rev.

On the frame walls of this pil- and it brought | grimage, still lighted by the eriginal | kerosene bracket lamps, hangs & yellow manuscript which unveils t! secret of the church frame. 1t is a tattercd copy of the song, “The Lit- tle Brown Church in the Vale,” as composed by the auther, Dr. W. 8 Pitts, ers the welfare of all the peeple to be the high purpose of government. He puts the health of the people, theie safety, their education, their employment and their care before everything else, and that is the exact thing that I believe the people of the country stand for and want to see done. To Smith's mind, the first business of the state is to make life better and happier for the crip- ple, the sick, the feeble-minded, the insane, the disabled service men and everyhody else who has a just claim to the protection and the care of the government. Record in New York State “He once made a speech which became famous everywhere. He sald that the poorest home presided over by a loving mother was better than the best insiitution in the land, and, as a result of that, the law was d in New York providing pen- ons for widowed mothers which wonld enable them to keep thelr children in their homes. “Nothing has been more notable in Governor Smith's entire career than the amazing improvement he has brought about in the public school system in New York. His in- terest and achievements in public health service has been remarkable too, He is principally responsible for as humanitarian a labor code as is to be found in any state in the union and he is justly entitled to the credit for as progressive a work- men’s compensation law as exists anywhere. “Perhaps it is true that few, if any, other men in the country have ever had the opportunity to do as much for the human welfare of the people as Governor Smith has done. Certainly it is true that no one in the country has cver done more, and if the average man and woman of | America are not for Gevernor Smith then they are missing a golden op- portunity to socure for the country all those things which are closest to their he and which Governor Smith's accomplishments show are closest to his heart too. 'hen you once really get the | truc Al Smith conception of demo- cratic government, you will sce poli- i very much more than the art of putting the ins out and the outs in. You will see it as the art of dcaling with real and human things |in a real and human way; of free- | ing and shaping the soclal forces that work for progress; of building a better township, a better county; a better state and a better union. That is the Al Smith way,—to do the sane, sound, human thing that makes for better government and for better life.” (‘hoose—l;eath Rather Than Live More Cheaply Vienna, Oct. 19 (A—Rear Admiral Paron Arthur Von Bouruignonbaum- Lerg and his wife have chosen dcath rather than attempt longer to eke out an existence on a meagre gov- ernment pension.

But the toll of wedding bells in the secluded shrine tells only half the story.

The American educational system has spent its best cfforts in the cul- tivation of *“middle class virtues” and “pedestrian” qualities in minds unfit for anything better, he told & &chool teachers’ copvention here. “One of the greatest necds of this country today is the establishment of two club colleges as near New York as possible which will help to free the regular colleges of the un- desirable materials now clogging them up,” he shid. “These club colleges, as a matter of course will have no libraries and no class rooms. They will offer cloro contact with bootleggers, lots-of ash trays and easy chairs, all the ad- vantages of fraternities and sorori- ties and plenty of opportunity for social recreation. “Thus would our present univer- sities be rid of that type of student who, not interested in scholarship, {13 there for social repsons and feels | that it is the duty of the faculty to get him through the examinations.” Infected Barley From U.
