criticisms will no longer satisfy the American people.
Problems face us which demand an immediate and not a
future solution. There is little opportunity for experiment
and none for delay.
In Herbert Hoover the nation has a man, who during
~ the past four weeks, has shown himself an inspiring, un-
~ gelfish and honest leader. Until his address in DesMoines
it might well be said that Ameica did not know its own
president. He seemed not to have any human character-
istics but rather exemplified a dynamo of human energy;
a dynamo the functions of which many Americans doub-
~ ted. With a decided trend toward the apparently more
~ human Democratic candidate and a deeply ingrained de-
sire for change in the mind of the electorate, Herbert
Hoover rose to the occasion and showed that he was a de-
cidedly human personality with a marked understanding
of the problems of the American people. :
His candid facing of issues, his courageous stan
against the soldier bonus, in the face of the possible loss
of the soldier vote, and his determination not to defend
the measures of his administration against Democratic
~ onslaughts, but rather point to his record in office as one
of achievement, have won the American people. In the
~ words of the sporting world, Herbert Hoover is winning
his own ball game in the ninth inning. That victory is de-
pendent upon Herbert Hoover alone and not upon the Re-
publican party.
~~ Contrast any one of Mr. Hoover's campaign addresses
with those of his opponent, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Whereas
Mr. Hoover has been concrete and specific, Mr. Roosevelt
has evaded issues and resorted to wordy oratory. The
Democratic candidate has studiously avoided an open and
honest stand on the soldier bonus but has rather couched
his expressions on this subject in such manner as to stir
up no antagonism from either those who approve or dis-
approve the measure. Even the least astute of political
observers knows that the lion and the lamb do not lie
down to sleep together. On other issues Mr. Roosevelt
has been likewise evasive. He has criticised the present
administration and blamed it for the depression when all
the world knows that the depression is not peculiar to the
United States. He promises improvement and reduction
of taxation but not once has he given a concrete indication
of how he expects to bring either of these about.
Mr. Hoover has grappled with the problems of depres-
sion during the past four years to the exclusion of many
measures which we had expected him to sponsor. He is
not a politician nor is he at heart a party man. There is
probably no man in high American office with a more
thorough knowledge of international problems than the

the American people for support. But his record of real
accomplishment will probably exceed that of the majority
of American presidents and these accomplishments have
been brought about during a period when he was forced to
give the major part of his time to the solution of im-
mediate problems brought about by a world wide depres-
sion. : -
It is not difficult to sit alamo slo sidelines and cri-
ticise. T+ i- vue UI the easiest occupations. Playing the
!zame, however, takes sterner stuff. This applies to the
conduct of American government. No man is better fit-
ted by business and human experience to handle the af-
(fairs of the American nation than Mr. Hoover. Any city
man can tell a farmer how to make a profit; any banker
can tell a publisher how to conduct his newspaper, but
there are any number of city men out of jobs and plenty of
bankers who have gone to the wall. Every business man
and farmer knows that he has made no money during the
more capable and better experienced to conduct his own
lems of the past four years. In like measure this applies
to the President of the United States. es
Admitting that both President Hoover and Governor
Roosevelt have the same capabilities the fact that Presi-
dent Hoover has been in close contact with the problems
of the nation and has had to cope with them gives him a
decided advantage over Governor Roosevelt.
To the charge that President Hoover is not human
enough and does not play to the grandstand we might say
that the country is ready to do away with its expensive
playboys. Jimmy Walker is human so is Huey Long. Few,
however, would pick such human personalities to assist
them in time of trouble.
Somebody is always taking the joy out of life; that is
if there is any lett. Last week members of the State high-
way patrol paid a visit to Dallas township
loading.
Officers found that some of the busses. were being
overloaded and warned drivers not to continue the practice
'under penalty of fine. Not being conversant with school
‘transportation problems in the township we cannot say
whether the overloading of busses endangered the lives of
students or not. We are, however, prone to believe that
the school directors of the township would not allow any
such condition to exist if it were dangerous and whatever
crowding there was might have meant some discomforture
ito students but in no way endangered their lives.
All of which brings us to the point of this editorial.
The very persons who were so concerned about the over-
crowding on school busses to the extent that they called
it to the attention of the highway patrol are probably the
very first persons who would shout the loudest and long-
est if taxes were raised in Dallas township. There are
the financial handicaps under which the school board is
working. To add additional busses to the school routes
will increase expense but will probably give every child a
seat in the busses. Whether it will lower the chance of
their being injured is still a question.

Meshopen, Pa.,
October 18th. 1932.
To the Base Ball Fans and Citizens
of Noxen, Pa.
It has just come to my attention
that you are blaming the management
of the Fair Association for omitting
to have your team on the fair sched-
ule,
The officers are entirely blameless.
They sent for me, offered me $150 to
take over the entire base ball exhibit.
I accepted and managed it to the best
of my judgement. I am the only one
responsible, have used my best judg-
ment, claim credit if it was a success
and if not, I am the only one to be
blamed
Yours very truly,
A. B. COLE.
