Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON head tects tert acs H Calvin Coolidge Ex-President Calvin Coolidge was a typical American. He was a Yankee | through and through. Vermont has! given the nation some of its most conservative citizens and meticulous- ly regular politicians. Mr. Coolidge was the personification of conserva- tism and regularity. He was a great stickler for prece- dent. Reading deeply his American history, he was guided by the precepts of his forefathers. He shunned the | new, the progressive and always kept his feet firmly on paths which were charted as safe and not too tortuous, But withal he was a most useful citizen. His was not a magnetic per- sonality. He appeared almost diffi- dent. Sparing of words, he could be- come stubborn and stand firm and im- movable. Governmental experiments were abhorrent to him. He was al- ways harking back to the fathers. In government he was a strict funda- mentalist. He stood for the principles of the party as handed down at its birth. They ‘were to him as sacred as the law of Moses. Mr. Coolidge’s idiosyncrasies, how- ever, gave him the public's confidence in great measure. His administration Was regarded as safe and conservative and history doubtless will judge him for what he did not do rather than for what he initiated. Mr. Coolidge believed that his party should recom- mend policies, He never drove the Congress but he got along with its mentbers very well and accomplished in a quiet way much more than some Presidents have by breaking through Precedent and forcing legislation. His famous utterance to the news- Paper men that he “did not choose to run,” was probably the tersest statement for a momentous decision in all American political history. His, associates knew that when he said “no” or “yes”, he meant just that and he disliked to amplify and explain the obvious. His state papers were not erudite. He had an easy style but not a bril- Mant one. He could not turn phrases as neatly as Woodrow Wilson nor ‘were his utterances as virile as Theo- dore Roosevelt's, but there was no escaping what he meant. There was mo sophistry about his public utter- ances. He was usually blunt and of- ten platitudinous. His motto was: “Do the day's work and be brief.” entered public life early in his career and party regularity and a modicum of political luck carried him to the highest office within the gift of the People. He served his nation faith-; fully and honestly, if not always bril- ‘ Mantly. | ‘Some critics felt that he allowed} ‘because he fought against extending governmental functions for this and that kind of relief.

The public sup- ported Mr. Coolidge because, what- ver the reason, it enjoyed good times! iin his administration. ' | It is unfortunate that he did not live to see a definite return to the con- ditions which prevailed when he re- tired to private life. His remarks un-; der such circumstances might not/ have been brilliant but they would; have contained a lot of hard common | sense. It May Promote War | Acting under the stress of eco- | nomic conditions, congress has made} |the first move toward making the Philippines an independent nation. In 10 years, if President Hoover signs the bill and all goes well, the American flag will be hauled down at Manila and elsewhere in the islands and a new flag will be added to the galaxy of nations. We shall, have gotten out of the Philippines. There should be no misunderstand- | ing of the reasons for passing this bill. They are inescapably bound up} with the agricultural surplus ques- tion. The demand for Philippine ; freedom, in this country, comes from the farm. The dairy farmer wants| {no competition from the “cocoanut cow"; the sugar producer sees a menace in imports from the islands; the tobacco raiser feels he is getting the worst of the competition with Filipino tobacco, and so on through a long list. From this standpoint there is no question but we would be better off if the Filipinos were freed and left to sell their products on the world market. Their production costs are immeasurably cheaper than our own and items brought here from the islands do hurt the native producer. But there is another, if not quite 80 apparent, angle to be considered. That is the possibility of war with Signed letters pertaining to personal self-addressed envelope is enclosed. in ink. tions.

HOW TO COPE WITH IMAGINARY PERILS Japan. We feel that ours is a peace-loving deodorant wash. Benedict's Solution nation, yet history shows that we have engaged in at least one major war during every generation since we became a nation. It is now a lit- tle more than 14 years since the close of the World war. If history repeats} itself we shall see, within the next 20 years, another generation of American boys marching off to vic- tory—or to slaughter. If the Philippines are left to their own devices they will be at the mercy of a strong world power lying within a short distance. From a Japanese point of view, the Philippines would be a much more desirable acquisition than Manchuria or other parts of the Asiatic mainland. Many Japa- nese already live there and the num- ber is increasing. Complications be- tween a new and weak nation and Japan would be easily possible; might be inevitable. There could be only one result, especially after the Japanese have “absorbed” Manchuria | with its huge industrial possibilities. | Possession by the United States of | naval bases in the Philippines would | mean nothing. No competent mili- tary or naval man believes we could defend the Philippines against Ja-| pan even now. Japan is too close and we are too far away. If the proposition seems fantastic, it is not as much so as would have been the thought, in 1907, that we should send two million soldiers to Europe in 1917 and 1918. It may be well enough to get out There are a lot of people who have| the temperament of the old hermit) who complained that his life had been a long series of misfortunes and calamities, most of which, he admit-| ted, had never happened. People who| are always taking precautions against | exposure to cold are like that. i Here is a mother who is worried | about the imaginary perils to which her daughter is exposed. Let us see whether we can't dispel a bit of the gloom. Dear Dr. Brady: «+. She is just nineteen, work- ing as a technician for physicians whose practice is largely the treatment of victims of syphillis. Positions are hard to obtain nowadays and for that reason I have hesitated . . . the salary is small but she needs the money badly. She has to draw the blood into the test tube with her mouth when they are taking a specimen of blood for the Wassermann test. The risk seems out of all pro- portion to the benefit she gains in simply making enough for food and shelter. The doctors are Jewish and she is Christian. I am not quite sure in my mind why I mention this fact. Should she give up the posi- tion? (Mis. 8. A. H.) The universal method of drawing a specimen of blood for analysis or for a blood count or for a test or culture is by means of a pipette into which the blood is drawn by suction. But the doctor, nurse or technician al- ways watches the level of the blood as it rises in the pipette (of glass) and stops drawing when it reaches the precise height needed. The long History will not record Coolidge as | °F: , One of the greatest presidents. He of the Philippines, but if we do we should get completely out. And we should be prepared to say and do nothing if Japan decides that the islands would make a splendid col- flexible rubber tube and the doctor's or technician's mouthpiece can never be reached by the blood, so there is no conceivable risk of infection in that way. If the technician or nurse doing such work for a physician is intelli- gent enough to follow the simple principles of aseptic technic, or the instructions of the physciian, the work is perfectly safe. Even if the doctors were Republi- cans and the girl a Socialist, it wouldn't make any great difference. Health and sickness are the same in all branches of the so-called human Tace. Indeed, nurses and physicians are daily exposed to far graver actual dangers, in the course of their work. Once in a while some nurse or phy- sician falls victim to infection, or to} the attack of an insane or delirious | Patient, or—and this is the most de- | Plorable of all—becomes the prey of a criminal who entices his victim by appealing for professional aid. This | is one of several minor crimes which should be punished with death. | In everyday routine the physician, knowing and following the principles of aseptic (not antiseptic) technique, | is actually less exposed to the risk, of infection or contracting communi- | cable disease than is the layman who} is ignorant of asepsis. Antisepsis or | antiseptic technique means relying! on chemical or other agents which prevent the multiplication or growth of germs; asepsis or aseptic teach- nique means relying on such rigid cleanliness that the germs do not gain entrance to the field at all. There is a world of difference, im- Possible’ to explain to the uninitiated layman in a few minutes, but any well educated nurse or tec! knows, employs and relies for securi- ty upon asepsis. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, Taxes in the Farm Problem (Kansas City Star) ‘The way in which heavy taxes are contributing to the severity and con- tinuance of the depression is indi- cated in the figures on the farm sit- uation. Before the war, farm taxes, according to the information col- lected by the department of agricul- ture, absorbed about 4 per cent of the gross farm income. Last year they absorbed 11 per cent. This last figure, it may be noted, is about the percentage of farm in- come required to meet interest charges on farm indebtednss. So these two fixed charges, taxes and interest, are absorbing more than one-fifth of the gross income from the farms. Before the war they ab- sorbed less than one-twelfth of the farm income. 4 Evidently when the farmer is able to make the grade with these charges he has almost nothing left to spend for the things he ordinarily would buy. -So factories are closed or run- ning part time, and men are out of work, who under normal conditions would be busy making the things the farmer needs. What is required to help the situa- tion is, first, higher prices for farm —9 Products; second, a lowering of farm QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS charges.
