With his brain i alert, he will advance more quickly, It was brain training that made Abe Lincoln, the rail-splitter, into President Lincoln, the man who makes his living with his hands needs all the brain training he can get. He needs it not only in his work, but for individual im- provement in spare time. With a trained brain he will not submit ignorantly to industrial slavery, And he will recognize the wisdom of giving his children “a better start in life.” Study Her Tears Well HEN some 200,000 yelling people, with brass bands enough to supply a 10-ring circus, “notified” Ma Ferguson, she was overcome, but managed to call it “an hour of too much honor for any woman to bear without crying.” Whereupon, the political bosses declare that she is going to be weak and will lack courage and stamina as governor of Texas. But we say, beware a woman in tears! Don’t get any idea that she is sobbing away her determination, or bravery, or power to run things. her way. When she gets her tears dried away, she is going to do one of two things, as is proved by millions of demonstrations. She is going to use all “her lovable wiles and make sym- pathy so boil that she gets her way; or, she is going to resort to magnificent fierceness and get her way. The result is the same from either process. Ma Ferguson is evidently a woman of strong character. She may be in tears now, since woman's tears may ex- press triumph and joy as well as sorrow or rage. But, wait until she feels the reins of government actually in her hands. The heretofore political bosses are likely to need the undertaker, if they then attempt to take advantage of her lack of stamina and supposed willing- ness to let them run things. He Wiped His Fcet 66 R. COOLIDGE paused for a moment at the door and meticulously wiped his shoes on the old rug on the front porch before entering the house.” The newspaper is telling the simple story of the presi- dent’s arrival at the Plymouth home. He paused for a moment and he wiped his feet on the old rug, and, perhaps, his eyes looked not at the doorway, but back down the long-gone years. Perhaps he was a boy again, just for the moment, and unmindful of the stretching future that entompassed place and power and burdens heavy—just a boy with mud on his feet at the threshold of mother’s tidy kitchen. Perhaps he saw a gentle face and heard a soft voice admonish- ing: “Calvin, be sure to wipe the mud off your boots, so that you won't track up my clean floor.” Those of us who have, on occasion, gone back to homes of memories, where she once reigned and taught with kindly force the need of clean boots and clean kitchens and clean souls, find no reason for speculating on the character of the visions that may have come thru the old doorway. We know. One Way to Cut Taxes NICHOLSON, the well-known author, { aspires to the Indiana legislature on a no-more-laws platform. In the Johnstown (Pa.) district, Editor War- ren W: Bailey is a democratic candidate for congress with much the same sort of slogan. “If you agree with me that a reduction of taxes is de- sirable,” says Bailey in his announcement of his candi- dacy, “and if you believe with me that the cost of gov- ernment is beyond all reason, I shall expect your sup- port. I do not expect the support of those who want to get more laws, and more bureaus, and more commissions and more job-holders.” It takes courage as well as common sense to speak out in public as do these men. They are pioneers, in a way, and are breaking new ground. They are right, too. We have more laws than we need now. They are burdens rather than contributions to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Every new law that is placed on the statute books calls for enforcement, enforcement calls for job-holders, job-holders call for money, and money is secured only by taxation. There you have it as plain as the light of day. Every law—all law—is part and parcel of the stu- pendous and grinding tax structure we have built upyand always will be so. The necessary law exacts from us the price we should pay for stable government. The unnecessary law exacts graft from us and, at the same time, tribute to blood-sucking bureaus, commissions, pap- suckers, pie-eaters and crib-huggers. But the leaven of common sense in legislation is work- ing. The aspirations of such men as Nicholson and Bai- . ley promise it. | E CH year brings the time when the straw lid’s passe, and father turns| back to his felt.

There's one thing that’s queer (and it’s true every year) about straw hats you purchase in May. Folks hang onto felts till they're worn out of gear, but they always throw straw lids away.
