REAL MR. HOOVER COMING TO LIGHT. "Whether Mr. Herbert Hoover, by his ch;m:;r of front on tho T.apue of Nations Issue, is mm U a reincarnation of the typiral old Ttno.-e- Iti.iu liar, f'1sin up to th antithf-U cf former attitu'h s by denying them, hopinc thu; to onhar.ee hi.s ttandintr with the- republicans on tho one hand, and Col. V. J. Pryan. on the oth r, in his Fuprr-modest bi-partisan canjaiqn for the prfsiJency, ore mut draw his own conclU5ions. "We have hem practically the onlj', even yemi-demorratlc newspaper we f-av "srml-dcniocratlc" out of deference to the local democratic machine, in Indiana, to countenance ?dr. Hoover as in any senye deserving of d moratic consideration, and wo know of no republican newspaper that lias thought hin worthy of republican regard. We arc beinriln to iriiess tluit we sjx.ke too poor; that the New York World, the Saturday livening Tost, and a whole. 1 t cf papers, wlio have thought of Mr. Hoover as above political edge-wis-'.nir, spoke too soon. If he keeps on Kh'in out interview, he will have himself down before many day?, proven the cheapest .ort of v.ard-healin siuVftepper. who stanls for nothintr. or rather for anything which the tlme-boin'C miprht develop to his personal advantage; who. word of yesterday is quite worthless today or tomorrow. Particular reference Is made in this connection to the publicity belnpr jriven .Mr. Hoover's latest attitude toward the Icaue of Nation, plainly, it would j--eem for political effect, and belying pretty much everythinf: that he has said on the subject heretofore. That he hould burst out. with this new line of thought of Iiis, so close on the heels of Mr. I'.ryan's iippearance in Washington, to support the Hodi;o reservation?, out-llryanin--? I'.ryan. and in somo ro-i-pects out-Lodj.inS' loilire, oven poini over to the almost irrecor.cilibllity of noise Penrose, miht lead one to suspect that he lias come to think better of both Trryan ard Penrose t;ince his recent stab at them. aserti'as that their opposition to him was t;ivinK him so much pleasure. Indeed, this is so apparent, that one can quite understand now the recent article of Mark Sullivan, ilenictinp Mr. Hoover as one of the cheapest kind of renegade politician?, h or his backe rs. b In, after the republican nomination for him tirst. because the republican convention com. first, then bavin-, a later eye on the democratic- nomination if the republican's refue, hoping to snake his republican followr.'X over into the other fold with him. The question i- can Mr. Hoover make it? Very doubtfu'. He was i oo;ted by the press in the early days of his ap.;ear.inee on the presidential horizon, as a sort of ronpolitical. public service oracle, who would attend to thrt public husir.cfv; in a businesslike way, but theso '.ateyt maneuvers are beginning to take the planiour tf from his non-politicalism, and off of his oniclism, '.'lofsomlns: him forth as the cheapest kind of a politician, and an oracle with whom sophistry is his pruicst virtue. Mr. Hoover is out-Hoo crim; liinisdf. w e fear. As frequently happens when a man r;et? into politics It l-rinirs his real self to the surface. We wouldn't bn surprised if it were to transpire that even Sen. Itce.l. vith all Ms "copperheadlsm," has been at Vast half visht In his characterizations of the former food administrator. Possibly he Is just one of those picturesque personalities whom Tiichard Harding Pavis elenominated "soldiers of fortune." and one who has oe n fortunate enough to come to tho front in tht midst of n. world war accumulating a halo about his head in th?t connection, more brilliant than could I r possible if H were only a South American revolution.
DEFEATING AN EXPLOITER. Tho case 'f a New Yorker who w nt into court to resist an exorbitant ch.-.ro for a cooked ham that lie had ordered Is an illustration of b votion to principle that mlsht sae mor.ey fir most people did they hav tlie couraire to adopt sucli a course. When lie was rendered a bill for S-j he refused to ray it as -xc, ssivo and fix-l $1 a pound as a reasonable ard su.'Jicicnt pri.c. He was sued for the difference cf J 11. The court held that the buyer s judgment was sound and th.it the seller had no right to collect mere than his ,-i.,is were worth. Ioubtles tli" eair and che.ip.r way for the customer to hae settled the t.iatter would hno bee-n to pay the bill and then cense to patronize tlv proritcerir. m-rchant, b;:t Mich a course would havbep. compromL-in? with prin. iplc The rieht way was taken.

COULD THE WORLD AFFORD IT "The Four-Hour Pay" 1? the name of a new publication which Is issued in th Interests of brincmc about a radical reduction In the hours of labor. Realization of the agitated reform, it is claimed, would polve the problem of unemployment because "the four-hour e!ay will sive everybody a. job, since? It will take twice as many persons to do the work." Anient socialists are apt to denounce the r-Uhl!sh-ers for their extreme conservatism. The traditional socialist theory is that two hours should be sufficient for any man to work dally if the work were fairly distributed. The trouble , of course, that in-ronside-rate persons like Thomas A. IMison and Charles' M. Schwab, from their earliest days when thev were lired with ambition to qet ahead in tho world down to the precept time, when they have achieve d an extraordinary Jejrree of material ?uc- ('., insist on working 14 instead of four hours a day. And when asked for tho secret of their success they have an uncomfortable habit of replying that it iH hard work and plenty of it. Thorough scan h through the biographies and autobiotrraphies c-f other great men also fails to disclose that they varo cither theoretical or practical believers in thvirtues of the shortened work-day. Of course, if the four-hour day should arrive we would have to pay for it in some way or other, obviously th four-hour day would send the prices of everything scootirg sky-high. Many a business or professional man would shorten his own present working day if he could afford It. The question is. could the world a fiord a four-hour work day? It could only on the 'Ivory, which might be difficult of proof, that shorter hours mean Increased production. Por increased production of the necessaries of life is tho great need of every country in the. world todav.
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. Hoi Fellow husbands 1 Here's good news. Th national designers league announces formally and otticially that it will be perfectly proper for women to wear last summer's dresses again during the coming warm months. Tho material situation is such as to make any radical changes Impossible, it is explained, so this year's styles will be little different from those of 1019. That's tho "dope" from headquarters. But will it work? Ay, there's the rub. Will any woman bent on a new gown swallow any such stuff? We doubt it. All women agree that to bring prices clown we should consume less. They admit that being fashionable is foolish. They confess they paid more than they could afford for the last gown and then they o down town, pick out the smartest, most stylish and costliest dress their purse will stand and buy it. So chortle, fellow husbands! Chortle while you may. Our wives will laugh last.

Tili: YK)I IlAPdlllb WHKNCi: AM) wirv? (lrt Ynnc Tnuriinl-Gnzettc.) In view of the bitterness with which Sen. Johnton. Poindexter and even Harding are denouncing Wood and Lowrien for what is termed the "bank roll campaign" it might not be amiss for the American people to take cognizance of the situation and the charge. Gen. Wood says that he Is not a rich man. Few regular army otticers are wealthy. Then whence comes the enormous campaign fund which has attracted national attention ami impelled other less favored candidates to protest that nothing like it ha been seen in American history? Who is furnishing the money and why? Of one thing we may be quite sure the people who are putting up the money expect to get returns or. the investment. That is notoriously tho way of politics. Who are the men w ho are expecting to bene tit by "Wood's election? Not the work'.ngman surely. Not the middle classes. Certainly the vry wealthy. The fact that Wood's fund comes from the very wealthy is not within itself a condemnation. There are perfectly good men who are very wealthy, put suppose these particular men of wealth represent some special interests with something especial in mind that the government can throw their way? That is a different matter. Is George W. Perkins financing the fUht" Or some great corporation like the U. S. Steel? These questions are justified by Wood's silence on vital questions of policy. He says much about 'Americanism." and every profiteer In America sings "My Country 'Tis of Thee;" much about a strong foreign policy which may mean the conquest of Mexico for the benefit of the American owners of concession; but on the day by day issues in which the people are interested he has nothing to say. Why? Po?s the big tlush fund explain? As for l.owden it Is not difficult to understand where the barrel is located which ho taps. He is the son-in-law of the Pullman company. His candidacy is no doubt 'personally conducted" by the family. It's nice to have a president in the household. But whence this enormous Wood sliiih fund? And whv?

WANTITT) SI:HVI( i: HLi: STOUn;s. Jimmy Welch has luring his lifetime told us 4.S32 stori of a humorous nature. Tho first printable one he related to us the other day at a luncheon, as follows: A revenue officer climbed off a slow train down in Kentucky and approached a yokel lounging in front of the depot. "I'll give you $30 if you will conduct me to a private still," hissed the revenue sleuth to the Kentuckian. "You're on," said the Kentuckian. "follow me." The revenuer did. They toiled for two days over the mountains until they finally came to a lonely cabin. "There." said the Kentuckian. pointing to a man standing in front of the cabin, "that's my brother, he's been in the army 2ö years and he's a private still."
The other day The News-Times printed a story about this pair of shoe but neglected to ue Mr. riimd'." name. Flmply Ftating that they were "on display In the window of a Michigan st. ?toro." Since then, Geerge has made complaint because his r.nmc was omitted. We apologize for the oversight.

The Horoscope
SAT VR PAY, MARCH, 20. While affairs may move along at a lively pace, according tc the stellar operations for this day yet there are certain adverse influences that call for precaution. This applies particularly to the matter of curbing the tongue and temper, as Mars, inimical and active, incites to quarrels, litigation and turbulenco generally a condition that is aggravated by the Lunar conjunction of Mercury, tending to make one liighty, excitable, voluable and Irresponsible. Some balance may be found from the slow-moving Saturn, operating to delay, obstruct and disappoint. In social, domestic and affectlonal matters, conditions will be found more favorable, with strong developments in the latter channel. Those whose birthday It is should have a prosperious year, but they should avoid speculation. litigation and quarrels. Other affairs than business will thrive also. A child born on this day wdll be clever, quick and enterprising.
Facts about your name; its history; Its meaning: whenec It was derived; Its significance; our lucky day ami lucky tewcl. BY MILDRFD MARSHALL.
VIVIAN. The charming name of Vivian is almost thr equivalent of the ad jectlve 'vivacious. It means lively, having been derived from the Latin vita signifying life, and was used by the Roman Christians to express their hopes of eternity. The lirst feminine name formed from vita is Vivia, a name made famous by Vivia Perpetua, the noble young matron of Carthage, whose martyrdom is one of the most touching histories of the early church. Her many votaresses gave vogue to her name. In later Roman days Viviana came to be popular through a Christian maiden of that name who was put to death by a Roman governor on the charge that she had destroyed the sight of one of his ey.i by magic. Much later a church was e-rected over her remains. Her fame and name lingered, and appears prominently again In "Morte d'Arthur" when Vivianna is the enchantress of King Arthur's court. Scotland took over the name of Vivian, applying it as both a. mas rullne and feminine name. Franco adopted the masculine form as Vivien and straightway formed tho r.ew popular feminine Yiviennc. Kngland has always favored Vivian and America received and popular ized the name under that spelling. Vivlana is the favored form in Spain and Italy, the latter country still employing the early Roman Vivia. Vivian's talismanic gem is the lifegiving ruby. Its inextinguishable flame promises her dauntless couratre. bodily health and strength, and dispeds evil spirits. To dream of it signifies unexpected guests. Fri day is her lucky day and three her lucky number. The lily, signifying purity, is her flower.
