Economy, pr vation of American institutions fe-guarding the rights of the individual. These constituted the broad planks in President Cool- idge’s platform as laid down in his Washington speech, bly his last of the present campaign. The President, king like a statesman rather than an offi eker, laid na sound philosophy of government. He no dema- r He is not appealing to passion or prejudice. He nppeals to the sanity of the American people, proud of their heritage and determined to maintain the ideals upon which the Republic was founded. Mr. Coolidge pointed out that unne ary taxation is but an undeserved burden, which cheats the average indi- vidual cut of joy and privileges of life. He pointedly showed tivti all taxes come from the people, and that the principle of soxking a few for heavy taxes only means a higher cost of living or other added expense to the average man. The president sounded a stern American note when he declared the United States would continue to promote the peece and stability of the world, but would not join in a | san table where our own democratic questions are to scussed and decided. lhe protective tari by practical experience—pros- pevity with it and adversity without it—has proved a bene- twist principle to the nation. The president is committed to the Republican doctrine of protection in order to keep up the American standard of living. The Constitution and judiciary are safeguards of Amer- individual rights and liberties. The Constitution and the courts are provided to protect the weak. They guar- antee inalienable rights. The President does not hesitate to oppose those seeking to break down the fundamental law. Public ownership, he pointed out, is futile. It has proved ineffeci:ve. It is opposed to the American principle of indi- vidual freedom. Prosperity has come with the Republican administration in th. icst three years. Reduction of the public debt and . the result of successful business administration, is a can achievement. It is committed to a stern Amer- iean foreign polic The President has made a strong case before the country, and the country is likely to heed his last Message on November 4. OPPORTUNITY An unattractive horse sold for $34, and was used between the shafts of a delivery wagon. Joe Bijo, the owner, discov- ered that his nag had the makings of a race-horse. He puts the horse on the track under the name of Billy White—and Billy paces a mile in 2:20. The case reminds us of human opportunity. Many a man is, figuratively. in a delivery wagon job though capable of fast work on the racetrack. Opportunity is simply the chance to demonstrate abilitv. But the opportunity is worthless unless the man, like the horse, can make good. Success is nine-tenths made before so-called opportunity comes, DISARMING Denmark's plan to abolish conscription and its army and = navy and lock up its war office and admiralty is the dream of pacifists the world over. It could be done if all countries = fet on line. Possibly it would “end wa more effectively. Armies = and navies conduct wars. Politicians known as “diplomats” crerte wars. Semetime in the late German Empire, the *m s control the state department also. 110,000 BLIND You don’t often see a blind person. But there are 110,- 000 of them in America. And about 15,000 lost their eye- sight by industrial accidents. i If you work around dangerous machinery or inflamma- : blé-or explosive materials, it’d be a good idea to cut this out and paste it where you'll see it every hour. Caution is a very cheap price to pay for the privilege of remaining out- side the City of Dreadful Night. “TIGHTENS UP” Prohibition “tightens up.” Here’s = wouldn’t have seemed possible a year ag A man and his wife of Metuchen, N. J., are fined 50 cents : in U. S, District Court for making a gallon of grape wine, | though the man’s defense was that he fermented the wine : for his ill wife. The fine is small, inconsequential. The emphatic thing is the enforcement of the law. The trial still | leads into the desert instead of wetward. DESTRUCTIVE POISON A poison 10,000 times as powerful as calcium arsenate is! being sought by army chemists. They will find it, no doubt, | in their laboratories at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland. This terrifically destructive poison will be used in the battle against the boll weevil which is gradually eliminating America as a cotton grower. Ponder such a poison and what might be done with it in the next war, poisoning the drinking water of great cities. INJUNS Indians in the U. S. total about 347,000 now, Uncle Sam; reports. Nearly half of them live in Oklahoma. F > Our red population has gained over 16,000 in 11 years. There are more Indians on this continent now than when Columbus discovered America. It’s a myth that they are a something that i tree tops.

R PERMA- ENT BEN DAKOTA (Jamestown Alert) The success of the Dawes pl: has now assured a recovery ol business and a restoration of con- | fidence in Europe. This revival of | business is proved by the increa fn the pi of wheat, and many | Taw mate! needed by Germany | er European countries for | 1B . purposes. These | ishing available | to large populations in other | of the world. ‘The farmers | ‘orth Dakota have felt the good } effects of the Dawes settlement in the increased prices of grain, and the benefits are not of a temporary nature as some persons take pains | to_ predict. One of the most marked results is the wide spread benefit which the settlement has had on Ger- many itself. It is giving new hope ana confidence to the people of that country who sce that their! foreign trade will he directly bene- fitted. Germany, with the\capa ily of her people for skillful labor expects to again become a_pros- erous nation. The workability of the Dawes plan has been passed upon, and accepted by the financial ‘interests of the world, which is manifest in the successful launching of the German Joan of 200 million dol- Jar: The amount alloted to the United States, $110 million dollars, was oversubscribed many times and the subscription books re- mained open only 15 minutes. The ish share of the loan some 12 million pounds, closed in a few hours, and was oversubscribed. This investment indicates a confidence in the permanent re-| vival of industry in Europe which | means much in the future for the} farmers of the United States in the sale of our surplus goods. In fact, the era of refilling empty shelves is about to dawn in| many parts of the world, and the} trade losses which have been grow- ing since the war, will soon be changed to gains. The volume of trade in the next two years will exceed all previous statistics, ac- | cording to correspondents now in European countries. This increased foreign trade will be a decisive factor, in keeping the present stage of American prosper- ity up to the level which the peo- ple demand. And it must not be overlooked, that the cause of eile) is largely due to the foresight and the practical efforts of President Cooljdge and Mr. Dawes in the set- tlement of the European repara- tions question that has been so long delayed. THE REPUBLIC POLI N FOREIGN Y arton Pepper Yale Review) The Republican pa . under the leadership of President Coolidge, stands squarely against isolation and for unorganized co-ope! The party regards the Washington conference as a type of conference which may usefully be reproduced. It regara’s the service rendered by the Dawe: ommission as the sort nal action most. likely to be effect It regards the American relief given in the Near East and to Russian sufferers anu ‘to our Japanese neighbors in the hour of necessity as a type of re- lief to be encouraged but not over- organized. The Republican party believes that doing things in obe- dience to covenants and in virtue of membership in a league of na- i is ing, entangling, and, | nkable. The party, y, feaffirms that tude of opposition to Americ: membership which was so ove whelmingly indorsed by the people four years ago. in the ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON MISTER FUZZ WUZZ BECKONS “Oh, I know what we'll do!” cried Nancy as the Twins sailed along through the air on Daddy Gander’s magic dust-pan. “We'll go and ask) the Green Wizard who lives in the} He has a magic gazing ball.

She was sit- ting just where I had left her, and tad the same look of indecision upon her face. “Here are the jewels, Alice,” I exclaimed as I dropped them into her lup. “Now I hope, as you nave gotten your wish, you will not make me any more trouble over them.

Such is the report of the Russell Sage Founda- tion. (It doesn’t include the economic parasites who live *; the life of ease without contributing anything to production | or progress.) | _ The estimate of “several millions” as the total of people ‘out of work is an average for good and bad years combined. i During hard times, as many as six millions are jobless. | Even in booms, as‘many as a million are out of work for ; Weeks and sometimes for months at a time. A considerable art of this unemployment during prosperity is due to | “floaters” who drift from one town to another or work a ; while and then loaf until their money runs short. | Striking an average, at least a tenth of the workers of jour country are out of work, year in and year out. One man may be jobless only a month in a year. Twelve like him are equivalent to one man idle the year-round. In this situation is a tremendous economic waste, from the national viewpoint. For men consume whether they are producing or not. When a man isn’t doing a tap of work, j he must eat, wear clothes and have heat and shelter. And these, naturally, have to be produced by someone, It stands to reason that the prosperity or standard of living of the American people could be raised a tenth if ways could be devised to keep the chronically-idle-tenth busy all the time. The most sensible suggestion ever made has not been adopted, though it is so old that it’s beginning to get gray whiskers. This suggestion is that the national government, states and municipalities should embark on big engineering projects when times are dull. Thus hundreds of thousands or millions of men could be utilized at such needed construc- tion work as the building of roads, bridges, public buildings and parks. Such a system would have to be elastic. Government construction work would expand when a lot of men were jobless, and shrink to next to nothing when labor was at a premium in private industry. Eventually such a system will come into use—probably not overnight by legislative reform, but by evolution. It would stop the economic or national loss. And it would solve the jobless man’s personal problem — enabling him to produce continuously, a better way than taking care of him by charity, unemployment insurance or by eating up his meager and hard-earned savings. i New York, Oct. 25.—A little old woman, frail and gray-haired, was killed by a heavy auto at Fifth ave- nue and Sixteenth street the other because the ordinary diner on Third avenue doesn't know enough Latin to know that aqua is water. Poverty stalks through = rich Gotham, but seldom does it rear its head to bring discomfort to day. The body lay there, covered with old sacks, for an hour and a half while the morbid looked on. Then it was taken to a station house. This gruesome incident is due to red tape in municipal government. those wha keep to their own paths. For three days I've passed furni- ture piled on the curb on Thirty- third street. It was thrown out of a flat while policeman stood quard. Dispossess, probably. . The furniture is old and marred, but bears evidence of having been oneg new and pretty and of fair quality. Now the owner evidently ig too poor even to have it hauled away. What is the story behind this mute tragedy? Where are the peo- ple who built their homes around the chairs, the bed, the stove stand- ing there like skeletons on the curb? Life, especially in New York, is full of untold stories. —JAMES W. DEAN. Over in Third avenue there is a restaurant where the appetite may \be whetted and wetted by libations not countentanced under the. eigh- teenth amendment. The drinks are served in coffee cups. Girls who wait on the table usual- ly invite the patron to invite them to a drink, They get a commission or the drinks sold. Usually the waitress, invited to have a drink, casually turns to the head waiter and says, “Make mine aqua.” ‘And usually they get away with it FABLES ON HEALTH. MALNUTRITION Some time ago a report was print- ed that malnutrition was found as frequently in the children of the well-to-do as in the children of the poor. This may or may not have been accurate, but it is a fact that many children of families in good financial circumstances are underweight and undernourished. Here are some signs to observe in a child: Paleness of skin, lines appearing CLOTHING IS SENT RUSSIA Ashley, N, D,, Oct. 25.—Recently 1120 pounds of used and brand new clothing were shipped to Russia for the suffering German population in that country. The Baptist congre- gations of Ashley, Jewell and Jo- hannesthal responded generously to an appeal of Rev. Fuellbrandt of the Southern Baptist Relief, to pro- vide some clothing for the poorly clad population of that country and to protect them from. freezing in the coming long and hard winter. Tt was estimated that the clothing shipped to Brooklyn, N. Y., from here has a value of over. $1,600.00. Was the under eyes, rounding shoulders, flab- biness, weak feet, stooping posture, laxness. Look, too, for irritability, nervous- ness, timidity, forgetfulness and poor resistance to disease. Most of these are signs of under- nourishment and need of a better regulated diet and more exercise. It is well to consult a doctor concerning the child, for such signs occur in troubles other than manutrition and it is well to find out. Rev. Fuellbrandt lives in and also was in Ashley three y ago, relating about the sufferings of. the German people ii i He will supervise the distrib of the clothing between the needy personally “and we are sure that many people will be saved from freezing the coming winter ‘in Rus-\ sia and hope that all the congrega- tions may contribute as freely as the above-mentioned congregations have done.
