President Coolidge, serving the balance * the term of the late President Harding, properly announ- ced his intention of carrying out the general policies which sit Harding to the White House and for which the people Now, he becomes President in his own right, and he will be expected to be a leader on his own responsibility. In the next full Congress, the Republican Party will have ar majority. excluding those Senators and Represent- | atives elected Republicans but adhering to the leader-| ship of Senator LaFollette. The clear Republican majority will give President Coolidge and the Republican party the full responsibility for the government of the nation. The Republican party and the President will be held to a strict accounting by the nation. President Harding did not have a complete Republican majority with which to work in Congress nor has Coolidge since he has been at the helm. Compromise legislation ung to the fore as a result. The Coolidge landslide pro- \ dod the necessary change in the national Congress. A bold, sound, clear policy by the Republican party in Congress will be expected. AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK Among the various “weeks” designated during the year, American Education Week, which opens today, is one of th» most worth while. Patriotism and education are spon- soved during this week by the American Legion, National Association of Education and other agencies. It is observed *in North Dakota by proclamation. During this week, emphasis is asked on an appreciation of the American Constitution, Patrotism, relation of pupils, teacher nd the community; the campaign against illiter- acy: physical education, development of the community, and ideal: of government, o democracy can continue to function successfully without an inte.ligent citizenry to rule it. The increasing complexity of the economic and social problems in the United States emphasizes the need for a broad and sound education of mind and body, fully appreciative of the underlying prin- ciples of the Republic. Teaching of the manner of the founding of the nation, its government and its ideals, may well be done in the schools of the state, and a sound educa- tion along this line should yield benefit to the nation when the school children of today become the citizens of tomor- row. BIBLE Russia has issued regulations, refusing to allow Bibles to be sent across her frontiers, according to the British and Foreign Bible Society. This is stupendous stupidity, aside from the religious phase. The Bible is fur away the world’s greatest piece of literature. The entire philosophy of Socrates wasn’t worth many an individual paragraph of the Bible. However, the Bible still will exi increasingly power- ful, when future scientific diggers will be wondering if the Soviet was an insect or a custom. SOUTHERN EXPOSURE It’s traditional, that a room with southern exposure — fronting the maximum of sunlight—is healthiest. A professor at lowa State College tracks down this be- lief and gives more details. He finds a room facing south gets 45 times as much sunlight as a room looking north. Sunlight has marvelous curative powers, killing germs and invigorating the body. But these powers are lost if the rays come through glass, which insulates, Sunlight | through an open window is the thing. CHINESE MIND The ways of the subterranean Chinese mind are quite beyond Caucasian comprehension. We learn, from warring tong:. that the height of insult is for one tong to demand -a roast pig and 3000 packets of firecrackers from the enemy. Still, this is about as sensible as demanding an apology that neither frank nor sincere. The compelling of an apology gratifies the vanity, but it doesn’t mean anything =in-the way of atonement. WHEAT CROP | Countries north of the equator this year have combined | wheat crops 291 million bushels smaller than a year ago. =The total is, however, 181 million bushels larger than the “five-vear everage, 1909-1913. But population probably has incre>sed considerably since then, despite the war, so more “wheat is needed. As far as the world supply is concerned, a lot will depend “on the crop south of the equator, particularly Australia and ¢ Argentina. BIRD-MAN The flying machine was invented by Americans. But = Europeans are leaving us far behind, in putting it to use. Baby airplanes—flying flivvers—are proving so successful ¢ that plans are being made for air trips from England to - France at 50 cents a passenger. 3 The airplane is destined to be man’s commonest and cheapest form of passenger transportation. ae TONGS A New York newspaper claims that the tongs, which recently sent a lot of American-resident’ Chinese to the un- + dertakers, are unknown in China. This isn’t so. The Hip Sing tong invaded America only about 65 years * ago. But in China, where its membership runs into the mil- + lions, the Hip Sings were at war with the On Leongs several ’ thousand years ago.

HY COUN Dee twice as common ng any other shade among English people, ; GREATEST SPORT OF ALL { By Albert Apple | Why are people visited with so many troubles jn life? Why is it difficult to reach success? Why does nature curse us with disease, sorrow, handicaps, obstacles, disappoint- ments? There’s a reason, and a very plain one. in fact. : i First of all: Life is a spiritual gymnasuim. It is only ‘by encountering difficult and disagreeable tasks and situa- tions that we can develop intellect, character, wisdom. We ‘are like athletes training and exercising to develop strength. ' One sometimes ‘wonders why “fine characters” have had so many troubles, obstacles and disappointments. In many cases their “fine characters” and kindly ways and tolerance ihave been developed by the ordeals they have gone through. Many reasons, | Enjoyment of life is largely a matter of contrasts. A ‘steady diet of candy and rich foods becomes sickening. ‘T'o ‘enjoy tasty things one must have eaten long of the coarser and less attractive foods, for contrast. i Nine-tenths of the joy of success is in having fought jhard for it. Success is sweetest when it is. the reward of i privation and effort, far sweeter than inherited wealth. The view from the mountain top is grandest when the climbing has been difficult. If one did not have sorrow and trouble for contrast, he could not appreciate joy and pleasure. A movie thrills us | if we see only a few shows a week. To theater employes, who have the movie pictures before them many hours every day, the shows are monotonous. All is contrast. Man pays the full price for everything in the long run. | Whatever he enjoys he must struggle for. Without the | struggle, the enjoyment is faint. Yes, and nature rewards ;us for effort. Maybe we do not attain the success we strive ‘for, but we have the pleasure of anticipation, the thrill of | the contest, the satisfaction of having done our best. Quite naturally, the man who looks on life in general ;and his job in particular as a game is the man who gets the |most pleasure out of life. i Good health is not appreciated unless we have undergone |miserable illness, for contrast. So with all else. Why be discouraged by troubles, handicaps or obtacles? They are |merely part of the game. upon the crosses that reach toward Heaven; symbols of man’s spiritual yearning.

A block or two up Fifth avenue stands St. Thomas And there are several other churchly edifices in the neighborhood, Of a Sunday morning one can lie in bed at 117 West: Forty-ninth street and hear the chimes. ‘There ! is at times something exalting, soul- lifting in’ the pealing of those bells, at times something disquieting, m ancholy. “Te Deum!” “Hosannah!” And on Saturday night one may look out upon the fiery lights of Proadway that blot out the heavens like a blast from Hades. In that seene there is something insidiously ing, something symbolic of s shuffling about aimlessly, restlessly under the incandescent ceriopy above. 'Yired Broadway.” There are thousands of young girls and young men who come to New York, as Madeline came, hope beat- ing high, sure of the strength that is within them. They envisage themselves’ in fine clothes, magnificent homes and clever society. They count their nickels for lunch, They do their own mending and pressing. ‘hey brew tea over a gas jet. They jive from hand-to-mouth. Some plod along, never getting out of the rut, becoming just angther in- finitesimal cog in this gigantic ma- chine, grinding on to the end. Some few climb to greater heights than they would have reached in their heme towns. And some end it all in the gesture of despair that almost concluded Madeline's troubles. This town is full of rooming hous? tragedies, tragedies of thwarted am- bitions, of heart-eating loneliness, You cannot quite explain this lone- liness of being isolated in a city of six million-souls. You cannot fec! it unless you have lived as Madeline lived -in West Forty-ninth street, just off “False-Alarm Broadway.” —JAMES W. DEAN. Madeline Heath, 20, has lived at 117 West Forty-ninth street for five months. She came from Toronto, as- piring to be a singer. She worked in a cloak room of a restaurant on upper Broadway and used part of her meager wage for singing les- sons. Last Sunday she heard the ring- ing of the chimes.
