REPUBLICANS MUST BE DOWN TO BRASS TACKS H. HOOVER

Herbert C. Hoover has given out,through his campaign cpmmittee, a detailed statement of his views of the issues of the campaign. In his statement he says: ' 1 "The Republican platform will doubtless be constructed around two general themes, first, the party view as to the many measures before the country; second, the less tangible but of even greater importance, the ideals that the party will represent. "Never before has it been bo important that the party should convey its position in these matters to the public through-definite and positive proposals, in order that conviction may be given not only of sincerity but in demonstration of the vital necessity of the party itself to the nation. Aim of All Platforms. "All the different party platforms will urge some form of a league of nations, a business reorganization of

federal administration, an economy in government, a national budget, readjustment of taxation, reduction of cost of living, suppression of profiteering, betterment of agricultural industy, improved relations between capital and labor, better distribution of wealth, an American merchant marine, maintenance of civil liberty, extension of education, improvement of waterways, and many other items. "I am for all of these things, but I wish to call attention to the tact that they will be put forward in every party. Therefore, the Republican party must do something more than enumerate issue it favors. This is not only ital to the party, but it is fundamental for the working of our democracy to give confidence to the values of party government. Must Expose Whole Hand. "It is not enough to denounce profiteering: a statement of the specific economic steps by which the m in prices roust be checked ani uilibrium restored . is-required. " in volve such dull things a i . jo of inflation, readjustment , of nation, better distribution th::;,! otKanization of the agricullu v.! industry, better transportation.

PROBLEM OF SOUTH

E STREET PAVING IS WORRYING BOARD

Paving of South E streets presents many difficulties, the boarl of works found at its meeting Monday morn

ing.

Resolutions for the improvement of

the street have already been confirmed by the board and the county officials have agreed to postpone the letting of bids for the paving of the portion of the street that comes under the three-mile road law. Placing gas and water mains along the course of the proposed improvement is the problem. The plans call for the paving of South E street from Eighth street to Twenty-third street.

Gas and water mains are already in place, however, as far east as Sixteenth street. The board thinks the Wouldn't Pay For Years mains should be laid at this time. Comparatively few houses are located along the line of E street east of Sixteenth and it is a mooted question whether or not the installation would provide revenue for the gas and water companies for many years. Four hydrants would be necessary for adequate fire protection. As the city pays the wateV works $55 for each

hydrant, the revenue from the city would be only $220. The placing of the water mains along the course of South E street, it is estimated, would cost more than $12,000 without the gas mains. Since the sidewalks are not yet laid, it may be that the mains can be laid under the strip that will be between the sidewalk and curbing. It is feared that property owners would

object to this. Even in that case, the board believes that the lateral connections should be placed at the time of the improvement of the street. Final action on the matter was deferred until the board meets next Thursday, at which time representatives of the gas and water companies will be asked to appear. . Favor Traction Raise The board -went on record Monday morning as favoring the relief sought by the T. H., I. & E. Traction company in abolishing all ticket fares and establishing a straight five-cent rate. A certified copy of the board's action will be Bent to the Public Serv

ice Commission, before which the hearing will be held Tuesday, May 4. The city engineer was instructed to repair holes in North Twentieth street. A resolution calling for the improvement of the north side of North E street from Eleventh to Twelfth street was confirmed.

ATLANTIC'S WAVES MEASURED The size of the waves of the Atlantic Ocean has been carefully ascertained as a result of extensive investigations made by the officers of the Hydrographic Office of the United States navy department. In height, we are assured, these waves usually average

SO feet, but In rough weather they will attain some 40 to 48 feet. During storms they are frequently from 500 an 600 feet long and endure 10 or Hf" seconds. The longest wave measured "f by the Hydrographic Office officials i was half a mile and it did not fpend : itself for 23 seconds. !

LIBRARIES DISCOURAGED j Sunday newspapers are said to have been started between 1780 and 1785. ! Circulating libraries were first set up in London in 1750, and in Birmingham I in 1751. They increased so rapidly ; that some wise man proposed to tax (

them.

promote. They crave a demonstration of the moral, social and economic ideals that are to dominate the solution of these questions. In defining what it proposes to do the party must reach into the aspirations of our people and into the social pholosophy upon which our national life is founded. Party Must Back League. "Our people have an ideal of world service. It is now a dozen years since Republican leaders including Roosevelt first proposed a league. This ideal cannot be ignored by the party. Its living force will insist upon our joining in the organization of the moral forces of the world, to reduce armament, check militarism, and relieve oppression."
