No man in public life today is better fitted to take command where the lamented Harding laid down the burden and continue the same wise policies that are restoring the country to normalcy as rapidly as it is possible for human agencies to do. Calvin Coolidge nas in truth and fact been a part of the Harding program. He has all along been one of the president’s most trusted advisers, carrying into effect an early Harding promise that the vice president would be an important part in the administration and have a voice in council along with department secretaries. ° As the successor of Mr. Harding, therefore, there will be no violent departure from the established order. It is understood that the cabinet members will be invited to retain their portfolios and the of- ficial business of the country will proceed much after its former manner. The country has large faith in Calvin Coolidge. He comes from plain, straight-thinking forebears who have been in this country since 1630. The Coolidge family through the generations, till- ed the soil, raised livestock, produced maple syrup and sugar, played a large part in the making of American history, and continued always as peo- ple‘of importance and influence in the community. “Et always seemed that ‘Cal’ could get more grup out of a maple tree than any boy I ever knew,” his father Colonel John Calvin Coolidge faid of him once. And that homely phrase sums up as well as any phrase can the essential characteristics of his boy- fhood. If a thing was to be done, it was worth do- ing well. He worked hard, and played "hard, and laid the foundations for the rugged physique that has carried him so well through the strain of later years. The upbringing of Calvin Coolidge has been dupli- ‘cated in the lives of thousands and thousands of American boys, and the really great men of the ‘nation had no different. The school at Plymouth was a single room with; a wood stove and a bucket of spring water. On Sunday father, mother and son were regularly in their places in the little village church. Colonel Coolidge was not merely farmer but rural store- keeper as well; and Calvin had a double training under his father’s care. He plowed and dug in the fields and he sold and figured behind the coun- ter. It would be difficult to imagine a practical schooling better calculated to inspire the habits of frugality and self-reliance and a capacity for sustained hard work. The mother of Calvin Coolidge died in his thir- teenth year; his step-mother who cherished him as though he had been her own son passed away a year before he became the vice president, To the influence of these two good women Calvin Coolidge owes much that is fine and tender and sympathetic in his nature. His education was obtained in the country school at Plymouth, Vermont, where he was born, at small town academies and at Amherst college. He was an industrious student, a great reader of books, a self contained, quiet and unassuming person en- joying the respect and esteem of everybody with jwhom he came in contact. He did not go to law school, he lacked the money when he came out of college. Instead he entered a law office and ab- sorbed the science in the old fashioned way, and what is more mastered it in much less than two years, and at once entered. upon the practice. His public life began almost simultaneously with his law practice, and it has been a wide and varied experience. Member of a city council, city attorney, county clerk, mayor of his heme town, state sena- tor and president of the body, Meutenant governor, governor, vice president and now president. Calvin Coolidge has covered all this ground in fifty-one years.

Don’t hesitate to be as revolution- ary as science. Don’t hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table. There you have Calvin Coolidge, your president. Just a plain but real American citizen. A per- fectly experienced and competent executive and one who will direct the affairs of this great na- tion with credit to himself and honor to the peo-) ple he serves. The country is in absolutely safe hands with Cal- yin Coolidge as president. Why Resist Investigation? There must be something wrong with the anti- saloon league of New York state. Its superintend-} ent has been indicted by a grand jury for grand) arceny, forgery and extortion. This is bad |enough. But when the directors of the league pass | |a resolution warning the state legislature that the proposal of that body to institute an inquiry into the affairs of the league will be deemed “ an overt act constituting a declaration of war against ap- proximately five thousand protestant churches in the state committed to dry enforcement in tlie state and represented by the board of_directors.” The recommendation for.a state investigation was made by the grand jury which indicted the superintendent. " The league takes a very foolish view of the mat- 5|ter after all the scandal that has been laid at its door. It would seem that it would rather court in- vestigation of its methods and practices, And in- ‘stead of proclaiming itself pure and holy inyite the opportunity to publicly establish such a condi- tion in its affairs. If, as claimed by the league, that it represents five thousand churches in*the state there will be {no withdrawal of that support if the league is all its directors claim it is, On the other hand it will not represent five thousand nor any other). number of churches, five minutes, if it has been guilty of wrongdoing as indicated by the grand jury. An honest investigation of an honestly con- ducted concern can do no possible harm; and it will forever set at rest the accusations its enemies make against it. The attitude of the directors in resisting investi-) gation simply adds to the public suspicion which exists against the league. i The league has dropped activity in states because its occupation ceased with nationwide pro- hibition and the elimination of the public saloon. In New York which is accounted the worst boot-| legging offender in the union and its people the} most diligent rum runners, the league has been) of no practical benefit in suppressing the traffic in liquor nor has it brought forth any measure of | assistance to federal enforcement officers the only} ones, since the state repealed its prohibition stat-| utes, seeking to curb the illicit dealings. If the league desires to restore its standing in New York it will e to come clean, clear its skirts of the charg ainst it, get rid of a lot of official and unofficial hangers-on and make an honest effort to be of service to the country rather than of service to the organization. Disregarded Lessons Write it down as the most discouraging of all human tasks the efforts of the well-meaning to save people from the consequences of their own carelessness, folly and neglect. The two best adver- tised dangers, nationally, that beset modern man, in all probability, are the railroad crossing and the summet swimming pool. Yet each Monday morning is like every other Monday morning in the news. Relatively and actually the number of accidents of both classes seem to increase, It cannot be said that the victims have not been duly warned. Yet they insist on finding out for them- selves at greater cost than the knowledge would seem to be worth. Recent casualties by drowning contain the ma- terial Zor another moral. Inability to swim figures less prominently than it used to in the reports. But the lesson seems to be that not every swimmer is fit under all conditions to venture into the water. People continue to eat heavily just before going in bathing. Tliey engage in spirited competi- tion regardless of physical preparedness. It is per- haps easier to overdo unconsciously at swimming than at most forms of athletics, and undoubtedly a more serious matter when realization comes too | late. What We Can Do “Europe, whatever it thinks are our sins of omis- sion, cannot reproach us that we have not sent over enough United States senators. They are flowing in and out with the tides and come home with much argument. What to do and what not to do?” Thus speaks the Ohicago Tribune. “Senator Oscar Underwood says we must do something. Senator Hiram Johnson says we must do nothing. Mr. Underwood is obscure about his something. Mr. Johnson is definite about his noth- ing. “The Tribune knows what the United States could do for Europe, and it’s about time to tell it. The United States can inform France that it will assume responsibility for German reparations, It can inform Germany that it is about to examins the German ability to pay. It can ascertain this ability by sending over a force of appraisers, ac- countants, ete, When the figure is discovered we can pay it to France on the dot and request with- drawal from the Ruhr and other occupied German territory. “Tf France refuses to accept and refuses to get out we can send over an army and put her out. The military difficulty is that we'll have to find a substitute for the French general staff which functioned for us in the war, but there ‘is the Ger- man genefal staff, which is quite as good. So it can be done, With the German reparations paid and the French put out we'll be in position to go to work. We'll have to’ give Germany a system of finance and put its money back where it belungs. Then we'll meke another survey of German resources and determine how Germany can rieet the debt which we have assumed, ascertaining how much a year and for how many years. Then collect it, us- ing American tax collectors and customs officials. “We will keep our army in between the French and Germans and, to be perfectly fair, we'll guar- antee France in perpetuity against aggression froin the reconstructed German state. There will be ceived an increased majority, What he once told the Massachusetts senate fur- gishes a key to his attitude toward public of-| tice Jo the day’s work. If it be to protect the rights of the weak, whoever objects, do it. If it pe vo help a powerful corporation better to serve! peace and prosperity and all it will require of the United States is some men and money. We can do it. We have had expe nee. We re- constructed the Philippines and did it so well that there’s a virtually unanimous request from the is lands that we get out, go home, and mind our own business. After that success we can do anything.” AG nen WHERE CVE Been s wn E PROBATE. | OLDEREPROBATEY, J * a xt Uyed AROOND “THE |BENDiTO r _) <HEREPTHEM (eePXHUSSTES TS) } oy fee \ (swWiMMiN?) aNTHEM) ONE! ‘PIECE [suits nN Lightning’s Toll WHEATLAND.—Live stock losses from the severe electrical storms of a week ago were more extensive than was at first reported, according to in- formation received later.

And at that time it was related, though never proved, that a sumptuous royal coffin was always carried on this vessel, in case of eventualities. It now appears this story was true. The Bremen is today the Constant! nople, running between Sandy Hook and the Golden Horn, Down in her hold there was found recently the coffin referred to.

The dead grasshoppers are to ba fcund on the tops of the foliage, with thelr legs gripped tight about the stalks. Polsoning operations are still in prog-| ress in the northern and eastern| parts of the flats under the direction| of County Agent Tedmon, but the numbers of the insects are reported to be considerably less in the affected areas. The green and fresh condi: tion of the ranges has protected the dry land crops, the grasshoppers still being scattered over the grass.

Some of this increase is due to the high price of beer, which forces the British workman to “let off steam” on pints of tea instead of beer. 228 E. Second St. ‘And you don’t have to do anything.
