But her latest report, en- couraging in the reiteration of the fact that present prosperity work for practieally all and financial help is not asked for as fre- quently as in the past, is a real hu- man document in its statement some of the matters that @ stantly coming up for consideration by the organization. People who live on In comfortable surroundings, with sufficient income to satisfy their modest demands, and who possess enough of the wise philosophy of life to be able to understand that there are little, vexatious things which have to be wisely met and dismissed, do not realize that some of these “little” problems are the causes of terrible distress to others who have not that philosophy, that under- standing, so necessary to peace. Few people realize the mountains that are made out of molehills as well as those who have.done and are doing welfare work. Some trifling dispute with a neighbor is but a trifiing dispute. A certain coldness arises and neighbor passes neighbor with merely a slightly cool bow. This situation ohtains along the main streets and the roads leading into them.

And on those side streets and those lanes the welfare people work. They know! One paragraph of Miss Beale's re- port is worthy of repetition, indicat- ing some of the things that have to be done even when prosperity brings plenty of work for the bread-winner of a family. The paragraph indi- cates some of th¢ things which, to many, would be but “little unpleas- antnesses” while, to others, they are the causes of tremendous grief or perplexity, ending, sometimes, in tragedy. Miss Beale reports: ‘With the curtailing of expend- itures the actual family welfare work does not decrease in pro- portion. The need of friendly council is almost unending. There is a constant call for someone when neighboring tenants are tangled in misunderstandings, avhen disagreeing couples don't ‘know how to make up; when sound advice and timely warn- ings may save the wayward girls; when disheartened and discour- aged mothers need encourage- ment; when the lazy father has to be steadily prodded to keep him working; when patients at hospitals or convalescing in their homes are too weak to plan for the future; when families are warned out home and rent hunting is such a problem; when household furnishings have gone up in flames and the children are without clothes; when juv nile delinquents “play hook from school and home, run away and do not respeet others' rights or property.

Its safeguards should be kept. And, similarly, every attempt to mod- ify those safeguards, through action of agztemporary majority, influenced for the moment, should be de- mourfeed. Thus the important of maintaining those safeguards, those rights it cherishes, transcends every tempo- rary question upon which men differ.

It is o simple creed, and one the clearness It's a hard world, and on days when you wish to relieve your grouch on somebody, not a book agent will appear. The reason life is quiet and peace- ful in rural sections is because coun- try doctors don’t tell all they know. When Adam found he was naked he probably felt no more conspicuous than a modern in his first pair of knickers. The only thing that bafiled the old- fashioned detective was the need of making the atory a few chapters longer.

George B. Lockwood of Towa, secre- tary of the republican national com- | mittee assured Robert T. Brady of the Boston ‘“Post that Vice-President Calvin Coolidge would be renominat- ed at the national convention. There has been some talk to the effect that Mr. Coolidge wonld be forced to step aside for Theodore Roosevelt or some- one else who covets the place. *In my opinion,” T.ockwood said, is no doubt whatever that Vice-Presi- dent Coolidge will be unanimously re- nominated. x x x T do not know of a member of the party anywhere in the country who does not regard the vice- president as a distinct asset to the party.”” Tt is harely possible that Lockwood was &peaking to please the ers. Mr. Coolidge is not the hero he was when he was first nominated. Time is the great enemy of heroes be- cause they must make way for new heroes whose names are popping out on the front pages every day. Among those present at the con- ference was J.

It follows that he [helieves dwellers in suburban com- munities observe the law to a greater extent than their urban brothers. We question the soundness of his reasoning. The manufacture of {intoxicating beverages in the coun- try does not present the same complex problem that it does in the cities.
