HOOVER SUMMED UP.

“Hoover is in. and what lie nui, bo expected to do matters a whole lei at home and abroad,” says a write, from the United Stales in the “Rohm. Tabel.” “Let there bo no doubt of 1 inability. Aleu don’t discharge the re sponsi hi lilies which lie lias undertake, withoiil almost superhuman talents He lias an extraordinary grasp of facts an auia/.ing memory, an unusual pov, er of penetration and inexhaustible energy. Those are not superlative.-, they are carefully chosen descriptive adjectives,” adds tin* writer, and ho. too. is well informed, as an unbiusot reader will see who carefully reads hi conclusions. "Jf, in the first part o this article, his honours and his achievements were treated lightiy, i was with no idea of disparaging them. Someone, a few years ago, unable ti grasp the meaning of fifty billiot German marks, said that an astronomical mind was needed to understan aaslronomical figures. So Hoover’s record is staggering; and it can eitliei be treated ponderously or with a whimsical realisation that the ordinary fellow does, not, and never can. approach it or apprehend it.”
