Unmistakably for Coolidge The final touch of disaster has been applied to Hiram Johnson’s ambition to be the Repub- Niean ‘candidate for the presidency, by his own State of California, in the primary election Tuesday. Senator Johnson lost the endorse- ment of the Republican voters by a large ma- jority. ! Hiram Johnson conducted a campaign Mone upon the criticism of the administration. oO President Coolidge and got nowhere. Just 35 the Democratic sewer explorers have Wy tempted to wreck the cabinet by o series o investigations. The people of the country have E idence in C athe hin. Nothing of a trumped-up nature is going to disturb the faith of the people in Mr. Coolidge. They want him for their Presl- dent and they will have their way. Pee ! may plan and scheme, and scoundrels may p) of» but the people have taken the matter in hand and will see the nomination and election ugh. sneer position cant up Al Smith, the wet, or McAdoo, the dry.

Indiana has come in with her thirty-three convention votes by a large ma- jority. Wyoming will show her loyalty next ‘eek at Lander, and so the procession move; he nomination is long since secure. The elec- { on as the nomination. The people are out’of patience with radicals nd bolsheviks. They want a return, to sanity n government and to the safety of the consti- tution, and a recall from theory and experi- . mentation. This is evident wherever an elec- “ition is held in the United States and an oppor- > tunity given to express convictions. Let the * good work proceed. Totally Unfair News despatches have told about the arrival of a large consignment of rare old wines and liquors for delivery to the several foreign em- bassies at, Washington. Customs officials plac- ed government seals upon the goods and it was sent on to Washington from Baltimore under special guard. This may be hospitable and all that—it may be the comity of nations and all that—but is it fair? Does it not violate the spirit of prohibi- tion under which this country is conducted at the present time? Why should this constant inflow of liquor be permitted? Is it reasonable to suppose that gnly the persons who haye a right to these intoxicating beverages receive them? This traffic, under the guise of ambassadorial courtesy, is bad news. A law ought to be enacted to meet the extremely disturbing situation. We eannot indefinitely continue half wet, and half dry. Anything that tends to make violation of the ibition law easier is to be discouraged. The ed States in spots is as wet as it ever was. One of these spots is in Washington. Conscien - ion, in November will be as overwhelmingly | that receivers cannot operate roads as economi- cally,as their owners. “My anxiety to ‘do something’ for the produc- ers of hogs in Iowa is as keen as is yours to ‘do something’ for the consumers of hams in New York. But may I suggest that both you and I must address ourselves to propositions that will yield more than an eighth of a cent in return if we would do something really worth while for either? For my part I shall attempt nothing for my constituents as inadequite as this, especially when it is fraught with disaster to our transpor- tation system upon which my constituents are so dependent.” The whole story of the clamor for lower freight rates that shippers and consumers may profit at the expense of the carriers, is told in the fore- going letter by Congressman Cole. In the aggre- gate the freight charge constitutes a vast sum, but per pound of produce bought at retail it is a trifling part of the price. Whatever of profit- eering there may be in hams*or other products freight charges are a negligible factor. A farmer grows a pig and gets the market price for it. Thereafter the main part of the spread in that price that it finally brings, when it is sold at retail, goes to ethers besides the packers and the railroads. And yet the packers 90 | and the railroads are the two factors, in the pro- cess of creating ‘a ham and putting it tnto the hands of the man who buys it to eat, which comes in for the major part of the blame for its high price. Big business is justified by the record it makes but what are facts to a j)plitician bent upon making people think he is their sayior from de- youring dragons. Fs Leader in Fact On the night of the presidential election in 1904, Colonel Roosevelt sought out his wife, after the returns had shown that he was triumphant- ly elected, and’ said: “Well my dear, I have ceased to be a political accident.” A transition somewhat similar appears to have been worked out in the conscionsness of President Coolidge. He is reported as now conyinced that he is able of good right to assume the leadership of the’ Re- publican party. He could not do this during the first few months after Mr. Harding’s death. Mr. Coolidge could not then feel that he had a alyin Coolidge and are standing} free hand. It was his duty to take up the work which another had dropped. He was, indeed, en- | titled to exercise the full power of his office, | and, in fact, lost no time in letting the country | know that he intended to be every inch a presi- | dent. But his relations with his party were not | then defined. He had to feel his way. No one | knew whether he would be nominated for the | presidency.But that doubt has now been dissi- | pated. Action of the Republican organization and |the ballots of Republican voters in many states have made it certain that Mr. Coolidge will be jmamed by the Cleveland convention virtually | by acclamation. | From the party point of view, this means a | great change since the day when Mr. Coolidge succeeded to the presidency, He is now able to point not merely to endorsement by the Repub- |lican party but to what is in effect a mandate | from it. He is today its selected and acknowl- edged leader. There is no one to contest the po- sition with him or to challenge his authority. And if it is true that from this time on the | president intends more openly and postively to | assert his leadership, there is no doubt that he is entitled to do it by every principle and prac- tice of party government. Overwhelming Repub- lican sentiment has indicated him as chosen } leader, he will show it by hereafter leading. | An exaggerated importance has been given to | the president’s action in selecting a temporary chairman for the Cleveland convention, There about this. In such matters tlie wishes of the predestined candidate especially, when {he is |already president, are always followed. A slight- ly comic touch was added to the stories about this action by Mr. Coolidge in the report that it was not made known in advance to the presi- |dent’s Massachusetts manager and ‘Boston bosom friend. These gentlemen were reported to be unaware of the choice of ex-Senator Burton as chief speaker at the Republican national | convention. Probably too much was made of the | incident. Yet it may have been only a way adopt- ed by the president to convey to Messrs. Butler and Stearns that he intended to be so truly a leader in his own that he did not need to con- sult them. All this business of guiding the party machine will doubtless more and more be taken into the president's hands. was nothing unusual, certainly nothing startling |. The following excerpt from Prest- dent Coolidge’s address to the As- soclated Press is worthy the persual by every tax payer and voter in the country: % Another phase of lingering ex- travagance, from which the country has not fully recovered, is revealed by a consideration of the bills which are pending before the congress, calling for an expenditure of public money. Exceedingly great efforts have ben put forth to reduce the cost of government. Hundreds of thousands of public employes have been released, and every department hasbeen thoroughly deflated and placed under most competent fin- ancial supervision. The country as a whole is demanding with. great vigor every possible relfef from tho burden of every unnecessary public expenditure. Yet notwithstanding this, minority groups of one kind or another, and organizations, sometimes almost na- tion-wide in their ramifications, are making the most. determined as- saul@s upon the public Treasury. I am advised by the director of the Bureau of the Budget that careful computation discloses that there are bills pending that are seriously pres- sed for passage, not including the bonus, which would increase the ex- penditures of the ‘federal govern: ment for next year by about $3,000,- 000,000. : This would mean that outside of the Postoffice department, which is practically selfsustaining, the pres- ent rate of expenditure would be more than doubled. Each one of these items taken by itself is not large, and its supporters argue that certainly the government can afford “Uncle Sam’’ and “Jonathan” By ELDEN SMALL There 1s no intentional disrespect in the informal cartooning and nick- naming of great nations by writers, artists and public. ‘There fs rather loyal love in references to ‘John Bull,” “Johnny Crpaud” and “Uncle Sam” or “Brother Jonathan.” eee Our official national {nitlals, “U. 8.” printed or stamped on all gov- ernme: property, first became familia used for “Uncle Sam” at Troy, Y., in 1812, A great vol- ume of goods so marked were of. ficially inspected *~ Samuel Wilson, familiarly known cally as “Uncle Sam." The coinc, «nee nickname and initiais was first a local Joke, and grew to national proportions. The nicknme, “Brother Jonahan,” is traced back to George Washington who on assuming command of the Revoutionary army was jn dire reed of arms and war material. Jonathan Trumbull, governor of Connecticut, was a patriot of rare judgment and much esteemed by Washington, who often declared in an emergency. “We must consult Brother . Jona- than. The expression and phrase found quick popularity from fre- quent use, and came to represent the whole people. ; to make this small additional pay- ment. But taken in the aggregate they, make the stupendous sum I have mentioned, and their assump- tion by the government would mean nothing less than financial disaster to the nation. é The law of service must be ap- plied to this situation. Our country is-very rich, but were its possessions : many fold, it, would not be Warranted in paying out money ex- cept for value received. ‘Value re- ceived on the part of the govern- ment 1s estimated by a general con- sideration of all the attending con- ditions. At present 9ur country does ‘not nee a greater outlay of expense. but a greater application of construc- tive economy. The same state of mind is revéaled ain in the determined resistance which is made to the adoption of a sound method of taxation, The main argument of the opposition can all be reduced to the supposition that the general public can be relieved of taxation and a greater proportion of taxes laid on the rich. I shall not examine the soundness of this pro- posal, the economic injury which it would inflict, or its impossibility as a working principle. I mention it as another example of an attempt to minister to a supposed. desire to evade the law of service. It seems as though the public is assumed to desire to have the ad- vantages of a government without paying its part of the cost of main- taining it. Besides being convinced that such a result is utterly dmpos- sible of accomplishment, I am even more-firmly of the belief that it mis- represents the general attitude of the public mind. Moreover, the success of the gov- ernment does not Me tn wringing all the, revenue it can from the people | but in making their burden as light and fairly distributed as possible, consistent with the proper main- tenance of the necessary public functions. The government itself. in order to be successful, and all those connected with it, must put all of thelr energy upon what they can do for the people, not upon what they can get out of them. These are some of the reasons which reveal to us why, in our domestic affairs, we must be posses- sed of accurate information of the doings and needs of others, in order that we may best serve ourselves by serving them through appropriate action, We are all a part of one common country. To be in a healthy and successful condition beonomical ly, means a free interplay of com- petition in service, based upon that mutual ‘faith in each other which we term public confidence. Notwithstanding the disturbing charater of recent revelations, not- withstanding the enormous pressure for the passage of legislation which would greatly increase the cost of maintaining the government of the United States, notwithstanding the failure of a majority of the Con. gress up to the present time ac- curately to comprehend and ex- Peditiously to minister to the need of taxation reform, I believe that the requirements of economy and reduc- ed taxes will be met in a way not In- consistent with the great resources of our country.
