Calvin Coolidge is the only ex-presi- dent in the United States. The democrats will see to it that he will not enjoy this dis- tincti6i much longer. Phere are all kinds of newspapers in the country. Some democratic, some re- publie&h, some half and half—hybrids, in other avords. The Royal Poinciana Hotel, world famous hostelry, around which Palm Beach grew into a resort of the wealthy, will nét open for the winter season, and like the Casa Marina will be operated again as soon as business conditions warrant. Howey must have had a “lapsus memoriae” when he challenged Carlton to debate. hat would have been “comme il faut” four years ago. He should remember he is Yanning against Sholtz now, and he will do him just as Cariton did. It’s a cinch. Such a promise as that of President Hoover to save $1,500,000,000 by cutting down government expenses is one of the most absurd promises made by him. The voters,will ask why this saving not made last year or the year before, if such a President Hoover plays with fire when he makes such promises. was saving is possible. The really happy people in this world are those who are deeply absorbed in their work..Everything else seems incidental. How any person can be happy with nothing to do“gay in and day out is unthinkatle.! Even those mentally inert must have some- thing f& keep them busy, if it is only to wag their “tongues.

From Stump to Stump get quite a lot of comfort out of thejr re- | flections. The existing depression has taught us a lot of things. The whole world was traveling along} at a vate of speed which was,not to its vest interest. People were as a rule so intent on the } pusuit of wealth that many things of greater importance were »eing lost in the confusion. enjoying the things which our great Creator intended us to enjoy. We were forgetting love and friendship, the beauties aud won- ders of nature, the cultivation and im- provement of our own intellectu2’ selves. Selfishness was being developed tu a _ tre- mendous extent. The troubles we have been experienc- ing have put the brakes on much of this speed, have slowed up the hectic scramble and given us a chance to realize that there are things more important to us than the mere pursuit of wealth. The loss of mere dollars is not irreparable. The loss of love, friendship and the ability to appreciate the Leauty of our existence would have been a more serious loss. The lost dollars can be retrieved, but the loss of our better natures would,have been catastrophic. Perhaps we are being punished just a } little bit for our worship of the golden calf. ROOSEVELT FOR ROOSEVELT The attempt to invoke the memory of Theodore Roosevelt to aid the campaign of Hoover rouses a bit of indignation in the breasts of all those who believed in and followed the illustrious “Teddy” in his bat- tles against the ‘Malefactors” of great wealth” and his crusades in the interests of all of the people. The spectacle of the republican cam- paign managers inducing Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt to endorse their ticket was not a nice one. During the life-time of Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt did not mix in politics and she was probably impressed in the present campaign. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the Gover- nor-General of the Philippines, has never begun to fill the shoes of his father. Were Theodore Roosevelt alive today, he would be one of the sturdiest supporters of his namesake, Franklin D. Roosevelt, for the simple reason that Governor Roosevelt today stands for the same things for which “Teddy” fought twenty years ago. The fact that Senator Johnson, the running-mate of “Teddy” in 1912, is today: supporting the democratic ticket and the old guard of the republican organiza- tion, which “Teddy”’ fought until the end, is practically the sole support of the Hoo- ver candidacy, is eloquent testimony to this belief. And practically every veteran progres- sive of the Roosevelt days is teday opposed to the, administration. THE STRAW VOTES Straw votes everywhere seem to in- dicate little change in the expected result of the coming election. Reports printed in the newspapers seemingly indicate gains by President Hoo- ver, but when these reports are read care- fully and analyzed, they are found to have their origin in campaign headquarters and not in actual campaign developments. Fora long time, the reports from headquarters were in regard to the re- sumption of work by manufacturing plants, the resumption of business, the advance of the stock market, and other bits of optimis- lic news. Business did not improve, more work- ers were not employed and the stock mar- ket did not experience a bul] movement. So the straw votes are being used for publicity purposes. It is rather amusing to read in the reg- ular republican newspapers reports of straw votes which are headed, “Hoover leads in Bradford, Pa.” and then a perusal of the report shows that the lead is two votes in a republican stronghold. The other places polled show a strong anti-Hoover sentiment. All the stand-pat leaders predict vic- tory, but they refrain from giving statis- ties.
