The nation is one hundred forty-eight years of age and the president is fifty-two years old. It is entirely fitting that the birth of the na- tion and the birth of the president should fall upon the same day, for the ancestors of the presi- dent contributed of their means and their blood aringly that the vation could be born, like- they contributed to the growth and pres- ion ‘of the nation in every struggle and ~ crisis that confronted it in all the years that » followed. The race of Coolidge is interwoven with the history of the country always in an honorable and loyal manner, as patriots and supporters of the American government as faithful and law- abiding citizens, as devoted friends and good neighbors, The race characteristics of the Reyoluntionary = Coolidges are still to be found in the president, * there has been no extinguishment in the years. "The same plain, every ¢ wholesome habits and outlook, that made the Coolidges respected and are as pronounced in the president as they were in the distant ancestor who committed his wife and children to the Almighty and joined the em- . battled farmers at Lexington and fired the shot that was heard ‘round the world. We congratulate Calvin Coolidge upon his fifty-second birthday. We congratuate him upon being the president of a nation which his own people helped to build. A nation, though young i 1s nations go, yet the richest and most stian in all the world. Menrhing this distinction in the brief span of a hundred and forty-eight years. For the good of the nation and its hundred aud twelve millions of people, for the good of , the world, we trust that this humble Vermont : farmer boy, who has so faithfully discharged eyery public duty laid upon him, be spared to re- ecive the further trust of his countrymen as = the chief executive of our beloved country in his own right and not as an inheritance from an * illustrious predecessor laid low by death. Business Wants Stability Politics is an inevitable factor in our national life. There must be government, and to have it there must be elections and along with elections rival parties and candidates, and all the strife, recrimination and competitive promises that characterize our campaigns. “It is these conditions that tend to make pol- °..| ities disturbing to business. Business desires stability and natural progress by growth and . development. It looks for improvement in social conditions by research, inyention, industry, sav- ings, accumulations of wealth which increase the productive powers of the population, realiz- ing that every gain along these lines quickly disseminates benefits throughout all groups and classes. Its faith and policies are based upon the proposition laid down by General Francis A. Walker, one of the most sane and eminent t economists this country ever produced, to-wit: that undgr the competitive system the common man is the residuary legatee of all of the achieve- ‘ments of industry and science. The political program, however, is inevitably different. Its faith is not so much in growth or " development, as in change. The program of the "* business world would afford scant opportunity for political and governmental activities. It would afford small scope for political speeches . or campaign promises. How could the “outs” ever oust the “ins” by simply preaching industry and evolution? How could an ambitious individual ever make a public career if there were not some- body or something to be immediately over- turned? Politics is naturally dynamic. It must promise to do something. It works by artifi means. There is constant criticism of the things that are and the temptation to competitive prom- ises, the most appealing of which are promises of benefits by changing the flow of wealth in some manner—-redistribution, taxation, restraint ‘or seizure—by interfering in some way with , the natural trend or development of affairs, There is never ending pressure for new actiy- ities by the government in the field of business, and political conyentions which meet under con- ditions highly unfavorable to native action, vir- tually commit the law-making bodies to policies ~which should not be entered upon without the most careful consideration. - Pijioncal Parallel The furious war that broke out in the Demo- cratic national convention in New York oyer the | Ku Klux Klan has happily subsided.

It is instructive to take a leaf out of the The Know Nothings deemed themselves the only hundred per cent Americans of their day. They were in an oath bound organization and when questioned about it or its membership they were instructed to deny any knowledge of it, just as the members of the Klan do in this day. The practices of the Know Nothings and the Klan are identical. Both “bore from within.” By this. method the Know Nothings. elected, the mayor of New York and six members of congress like their successors made the error of capitalizing racial and religious ani- ical organization. A brief as the result and then oblivion. § the Know Nothings carried the state elec- tion in Maryland. In 1854 the party carried husetts and Delaware, Maryland return- ng at that election to her old political moorings, After that year the party virtually disappeared. It is interesting to note also that the two big parties in the decade before the Civil War were much like those of today in that they tried to pussyfoot and straddle all the really important questions of the time, and any organized block of voters could intimidate the politicians. It is the Whig that flirted most amorously with the Know Nothings, while -the Democrats -put -a plank in their platform against religious preju- dice and hatred, and that it was the Whig party which disappeared, while the other survived and swept the county in 1856 burying the newly- formed Republican party which in turn arose from its defeat and carried the country in 1860, Those who shudder at the present klan should consider also how much less menacing or im- portant it is than its predecessor of the last cen- tury. Who, for instance, can imagine any con- siderable number of Americans of this day ap”: plauding hysterically the burning of a convent, as was done in Boston or the destruction of two Catholic churches, as was done in Philadelphia? The danger from Klanism now is almost wholly to politicians and is caused by the cowardice and lack of principle of politicians and parties. Out- isolated communities but The Democratic party dignified a joke when it entered into a grand row about the Klan. So long as Klansmen merely parade with fiery erosses in nities which cost them ten dollars each, they are quite within their constitutional rights and should not be molested.

Of course it is necessary that in some lines we haye capacity of our own consumption, in order that we may have exports to pay for the goods which either of necessity or choice we are accustomed After allowing for this, however, if we make more goods than we can consume it is either because we have oyer-developed some industries and under-developed others, or be- cause the terms of exchange are out of adjust- We can consume all that the labor of this country can produce, and a great deal more, if things are produced in the right’ proportions and are valued to each other in the right re- It is simply a problem of arranging Our wants are ample enough.

It is rather the. fashion for Americans to al- critical humor to some of the European-nations a8 hotbeds of internal wars, revolts and rebel: lions.. We tell how often the pnblic arises and throws its sitting dynasty into the ash-can, and we raise our eyebrows like a superior sort of people. But we do not pause to count up the re- betions and ‘insurrections that have places in our own national life-story. When anybody mentions the (RebeNion{. we think of the Ciyil war of 1860-5. But that was only one of seyeral internal wars we have en- joyed in this country.
