(Official City, State and County Newspaper) CS clic reat Bact aah A ; Coolidge’s Decision = Often it is difficult to determine what actuates 4 man in some of the most important actions of his dife—and it is so with President Coolidge’s an- “nouncement Tuesday that he will not be a candidate for the presidency in 1928. Unquestionably this is one of the most important Aecisions ever made by the President. One which will have a far-reaching effect. To some it doubtless Zcame as a disappointment. These felt that the coun- try needed the President for another term. His poli have been successful. He has so guided <public affairs that private industry has had ‘an op- “portunity to prosper. The only major industry of the country that has not felt the masterful touch ‘of his careful aid and administration is that of farm- ing, and here doubtless he has been of little help ‘only because he was not sure what properly might *be done to aid permanently the farmer from the _ slough into which he had fallen. His cold New England judgment could not sub- .seribe to the methods advocated by the so-called con- gressional farm bloc. His veto of the McNary- Haugen bill may or may not have been popular with ‘the country generally. It is doubtful if it was as wu sPepular even in the agricultural west as some politi- Fc'ans would have hed the nation believe. But 1 | f.ardless of its popularity or unpopularity the sin- 3 ccrity of the man was never questiched. Even his zenemies gave him credit for having strength of “character sufficient to follow the dictates of his own judgment, regardless of the pressure brought to bear upon him. = Some persons doubtless hailed the announcement with delight. This number includes not alone the tential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination of which there will be a swarm. It in- zcludes all those people who are or have been opposed to Coolidge for any reason. To some the man’s very strong points appeared .4s a weakness. His cool businesslike conduct of tpublic affairs lacked the theatrical touch which zAmericans have so often come to demand of their public men. He benefited the pocketbook but failed ito fire the imagination. To these, and many of them Swould have supported him had he elected to run :again, Coolidge was like a medicinal prescription. 4 “He was good for the body politic but unpleasant to ithe taste. * They longed for the flash and fire of a Roosevelt. | =Someone who could use picturesque language and with enough bombasticism to make the front page| interesting. This group longed for someone who| could say “nature-faker” of another public man with just the proper malicious inflection. A president | who could interest and amuse as well as concerve ithe public treasury. It just isn’t in Coolidge to do things like that. He has been careful, methodical, i *safe and sane and even those who might wish he sparkled more will not deny it. He never satisfied tthe nation’s thirst for hero worship because he never tended to be a hero and never acted like one. He simply a great business man doing his daily job as best he could just like every other sound Anferican citizen devotes most of his waking hours .to his job or his business. fi * As head of the greatest business nation in the 4 .world, he set an example which anyone could emulate twith profit. ¢ But these things did not enter into his decision *not to run for office again. He simply did not want zto run and that was a personal preference, expressed i “in the cool, calm way which is natural to him. An- wother man might have taken advantage of the ob- ‘vious opportunity to indulge in a taste for the! q wdramatic. A lesser man, and one with a greater q ‘gift for the histrionic, would not have missed the opportunity to reveal himself as the super-patriot, sacrificing his own ambitions in order to preserve " glorious national tradition—that which presumes to ‘forbid any president to run for a third term. Roose- Welt, had he been doing it, would have had more dash. | "But then Roosevelt eventually decided that he want- ged a third term. The politically. minded, Republican, Democrat, Soc- | : dalist or what not, agree that Coolidge could have ‘been renominated and reelected in 1928 without , much difficulty. Barring a political miracle or a a litical catastrophe, an announcement of his can- | fidaey would have led to a third inauguration. And the ity. With this conceded by practically everyone “in the know,” it is a real question why the president decided not to run again. * The safest guess probably is that he is tired.’ Tired of the heavy burden. Tired of the continual} Ynvasion of his privacy which a president must suf- ‘fer. Tired of the enormous pressure which is the “price every president must pay for his high distinc-; tion. ‘Tired of a situation which prevents him from the normal inclinations of the ordinary , pn observers ften feel sorry for a rn ‘inthe public eye'as a gold them.

Until recent years the country unge to serve faithfully and well make a man like the job of being president. Doubtless most of thos who have retired from that office have done so with a feeling of relief. Even the vigorous Roosevelt was glad to get away in 1908, Doubtless, the desire to adhere to a strong tradi-| tion which began when Washington refused a third | term did have something to do with Coolidge’s deci- | sion, even if he didn’t brag about it., Coolidge is a New Englander of New Englanders and these New | Tradi- tions, family and secticnal, have played a major part in Coolidge’s rise. It is not surprising then, that they should play a part in his voluntary retire- ment. Perhaps Coolidge felt that at some future | day the country might suffer if the third term tradi- tion went into the discard as it inevitably would | have done had he permitted himself to be a can- didate again. Observers, the news stories say, are careful to point cut that the president’s announcement docs not mean that he will ngt be available as a candidate if the Republican national convention chooses to ¢ him to run again. Perhaps not, but the public ill accept the announcement of his intentions as something more than a gesture. Coolidge has not been in the habit of making gestures. It is con- trary to his nature. The fact that he indulged in no flamboyant words in making the announcement qncourages a belief in his sincerity. His passing from the spotlight will be a source of regret. It may be difficult for the countrty to adjust itself to a new and perhaps a lesger mau but the country will get along as it always has. Perhaps his action Tuesday will, when the per- spective of history is applied to it, serve to rank Coolidge among the truly great patriots. One hun- dred years from now it may be the rock upon which his fame will rest. A New Career \ Miss Pattie Field, the only woman vice-consul in the world, has returned to Denver for her first since she was appointed to the position in Amsterdam about two years ago. She has returned with a vast enthusiasm for her job, with the pre- diction that diplomacy offers a splendid field for feminine talents, particularly in the routine posi- tions, where the feminine virtues of painstaking care and sympathy and courtesy count for the best. Miss Field believes that the colleges can, perhaps, be the most vital force in introducing women to this attractive field. It is her view that they could bring the proposition to the attention of students, by offering .specialized training pointing to diplo- matic service. But she hersef has put her finger on the greatest drawback to women in the diplomatic service, the urge to talk, “The state department,” she says, “frowns on foreign representatives who let slip details of its inner workings. Women in such posi- tions, obviously, are particularly bound by these restrictions, in the face of the belief that women are prone to—well, talk.” Perhaps the reputation is undeserved and it is unfortunate. But the fact that Miss Field succeed- ed in her effort to enter the consular service and that her record is a very fine one may pave the way for more of her sex'to enter what should be an attractive field for them. In the diplomatic and consular service there are certain duties which women are particularly fitted to discharge. The. routine work, unspeectacular, but essential, comes under this heading and aiding trav- elers and assisting in the examination of immigrants are other duties suited to women. Given a fair chance there is no doubt that women would be of great value in this service. A Mountrail county newspaper says:: “Clarice Janet is the name of the little arrival at the C. E.

Never hefore have the buttes and cliffs with all their grotesque and enchanting formations stood out in such majestic glory to resi- dents of western North Dakota and to the thousands of tourists who are passing. The construction of a state highway through the most scenic region of the middle Bad Lands has, without doubt, been the biggest factor in instilling their own country in the hearts of the people of western North Dakota. Not only does it follow a scenic route but thé new highway has taken away all the worry of driving over rough and winding roads and leaves motorists free to enjoy the scenery as they pass, 7 The abundant rainfall this season which has brought out every bit of vegetation on the buttes and in the gullies and ravines has also added mucl to the attractiveness of the region. 4 More people have traversed the Bad Lands be- tween Dickinson and Medora this year than ever be- fore. They have come from every part of the state. They have gone away enthusiastic in. their praise and proud that the great tracts of broken lands shining forth in all their. primitive beauty are a part and parce] of North Dakota. But with this only half the story has been told. Fer to the north, the Bad Lands along the Little Missouri are even more beautiful than near Medora, ‘% the north has not been'easily reached.
