(Official City, State and County Newspaper) A DIFFERENT COOLIDGE ‘The American people have learned to look upon President Coolidge as an unemotiona]l man, not to say @ cold-blooded one. His silence and austerity have become proverbial. We have never imagined that any ‘warmth of feeling could crack the cold marble of his reserve. ‘But the president gave us a new glimpse of himself * the other day when his special train stopped at Ben- | nington, Vt. A large crowd surrounded the rear plat-} form and clamored for a speech; and the president, #3) for the first time, yielded. He spoke of matters near- | , est his heart. His voice was husky with emotion. “Vermont is a e I love,” he said. “I could not | Jook upon the peaks of Ascutney, Whittier or Mans- | field without being moved in the way that no other | omen AP ne who slumps down in his seat, inert and motionless as | possible, cannot keep his senses alert. Consequently he fails to concentrate on the sermon, and goes to sleep. We don’t know just what the remedy should be. Apparently, however, the moral is that the body, as well as the mind, must be kept alert and responsive while in church. Otherwise some of the pastor's gems of wisdom are apt to go unheard. THE REFORMING BUSINESS There are more than 2,000,000 persons in the United States affiliated with reform movements bearing on human conduct. One-sixtieth of the population is inter- esting itself in the behavior, habits and tastes of the other fifty-nine. More than 2,000,000 Americans have generously volunteered to be their “brother’s keeper.” This vast army of “reformers” is charged with carrying forward those companion banners of purifi- cation, “Thou shalt not” and “Anti-everything.” They are the self-appointed guardians of the public morals. They are inspired with the thought of pvutic service, although they are often accused of the le:s noble pur- pose of striving to take from others those things for which they themselves have no particular use or fancy. The vicious and startling thing about this census of reformers is not that the reformers number two mil- lions but that, although they represent only one-six- tieth of the whole population, they frequently force their commandments upon the other fifty-nine sixtieths of the population. Organization has giveg these re- form minorities sufficient power to rule vast majorities not in sumpathy with them. The reforming business in the United States has become a highly profitable one for those who make it their life-work and as long as the missionary instinct resides in the human mind the reforming urge will furnish pleasant and exciting Teereation for those who have no business of their own | to mind. PASS THE CIGARETTES { The war on Demon Nicotine is no new thing, although | it is true the move for prohibition of fhe use of tobacco by constitutional amendment is a relatively.young idea of the reformers.

It was here I first saw the light Sof day; here I received my bride; here my dead lie Pillowed upon the everlasting hills. “I love Vermont because of her hills and valley: her scenery and invigorating climate. But, most of all, | because of her indomitable people. They are a race of | pioneers who almost beggared thmselves for others. | If the spirit of liberty should vanish in the Union and our institutions should languish, it all could be re stored by the generous store held by the people in this | brave little state.” | These are not the words of an unemotional man. They do not sound like the President Coolidge we know ‘The impenetrable curtain of reserved silence has fallen away, and for the moment we get a new glimpse of him; a glimpse of a man who has trod on the high places of the earth and been one of the kings of his time, returning to profess his love for the simple, | homely scenes of his youth. | The light that beats upon the White House ig blind- ing in its brilliance. But it has not revealed the real Calvin Coolidge to us. It has shown us a mask; behind that mask moves a man capable of deep feeling and true poetry. “Here my dead lie pillowed upon the everlasting hills.” There is beauty in that remark, beauty as moving and elemental as the beauty of the Vermont mountains.. The man who voiced it is not the phleg- matic Coolidge of tradition. We can never pretend again that Calvin Coolidge is cold and dour. All the honors a nation can bestow have been his. He has been, and is, the most- powerful ruler on earth. The gray battleships of a mighty fleet dip their flags to him 2s leader; the army of the United States is his to command; 120,000,000 people look uf to him for | guidance. Yet it seems there is something in him that this canno* satisfy; something that must return to the eternal peace of the rolling Vermont uplands for nourishment. It is almost as if he had told us that all the prizes of the earth are outweighed by a moment's communion with the elemental forces of nature. We will always understand and like him a little bit better for those words he said at Bennington, SYMPATHY With all the free hospitals, public clinics, charity ¢ampaigns and relief organizations, which have given the United States a world-wide reputation for compas- sion, there is too little mutual sympathy among men. Children thoughtlessly, and adults deliberately, mock the afflicted. Few ara really touched by the pitiable condition of the human derelicts that are constantly ‘Heountered on the highways and byways of life. On ‘the contrary, the disfigured and crippled are more apt to excite the selfish to derision than to pity. Heinrich Heine, the German poet and satirist, who; ‘Was an invalid during the last seven years of his life, written of this same subject: ~ “Alas! one ought in truth to write against no one fi this world. Each of us is sick enough in this great Jagaretto, and many a polemical writing reminds me in- Son, of of a revolting quarrel, in a little hospital in S , of which I chanced to be a witness, and where was horrible to hear how the patients mockingly | each other with their infirmities; how one bloated by dropsy; how one laughed at another's in the nose, and this one again at his neighbor’ -jaw or squint, until at last the delirious fever- sprang out of bed and tore away the coverings the wounded bodies of his companions, and noth- was to be seen but hideous misery and mutilation.” AUTOS, BUSSES, RAILROADS ¥f you don’t think that the automobile and the bus consider these figures contained in the 1928 ook of Railroad Information, just issued. During 1927 class one railroads carried 829,845,522 ‘ ws—fewer than were carried away back in Furthermore, during each of the last four years has been a shrinkage in the total. The country is prosperous and more populous than it was 16 ago; but the railway passenger business is falling ‘Obviously, there is only one answer—the automobile. ee etresting however, to note that the bulk of declirle comes in the day coach business. Railway D from Pullman car passengers continue to rise. ‘whereas day coach receipts for 1921 were $796,402,- in 1927 they had fallen to $534,222,334. ‘was wasted by consumption jeered at another who | better or for worse. re given the railroad executives! something to think | The vogue of tobacco and its persistence for cen- turies is not easy to understand e who take |life with deep seriousness and would ban everything in which others find pleasure. There is Biblical authority for taking a little wine “for the stomach’s sake,” but nobody would claim that tobacco is a thera- peutic agent. It shortens the breath, causes tobacco heart, stains the fingers, litters the parlor and office, is an expensive habit and gives an unpleasant odor to the clothing, breath and surroundings. In the face of all these evil effects, why does it number its devotees by the tens ef millions? Perhaps the explanation lies in the oft-quoted sentiment of the candid addict: Tobacco is a dirty weed. I like it. It satisfies no normal need. 1 like it. It makes you thin, it makes you lean, It takes the hair right off your bean, It's the worst darn stuff I've ever seen.

The restoration of capital punishment in North Dakota will be among the law changes recommended by the state bar association when it holds its meet- ing in Minot next week. It is understood that the bar which are designed to put more teeth in the criminal laws of the state, will be introduced at the next session of the legislature. This is a move in the right direction. North Daketa bas been dealing aaa too gently with its crim- 1 populstién. Those who have committed crimes nities tesa te ce easily.
