Coolidge seems to anti¢ipate the Glowing with the expressed sentiment, suspicion that Mr, Mellon was thinking he proceeds to apply it pretty literally to chiefly of his own class when he pre the farmers. “It has appeared from all the investi- gations that I have been able to make, he “that the farmers as a whole are determined to maintain the independenc oftheir business. They do not wish to have meddling on the part of the govern- ment or to be placed under the inevitable restrictions involved, in any system of direct or indirect price-fixing, which would permit the government to operate in the agricultural markets.” So much for the farmers, who in many sections of the country are having one heck of a time keeping their heads above water and in some sections are going bankrupt too rapidly to be counted Bt the water power interests. He in- sists that Muscle Shoals be sold to the highest bidder. The highest bidder is not, of course, expected to pay the full value of that great government project. The wide difference between cost and selling price will be a subsidy to the power interests. And the merchant marine. He reiter- ates his belief that the government’s ships should be sold. The price obtain- able is so far short of what it costs to build ships that the private shipping in- terests which buy will receive thereby a substantial subsidy. The tariff. He is silent this time. The tariff is pretty satisfactory to the manu- facturing in sts benefiting under it and the president does not propose to lower the protective wall. Finally, taxes. H i which has been wor Mellon and the house w: committee. the tax bill Secretary means and The reduction of the present surtaxes paid by the very wealthy as well JUSTICE ANDIT pulls a gun and threatens to shoot the 2-year-old child of Mrs. G. A. Lister of Fauntleroy unless the woman hands over her money. She gives him $70. If this man is caught, justice will not be done unless he gets a year in the peni- tentiary for every dollar he took. JUST PITCH! OVERNOR HARTLEY has some ideas that are good. And some that are bad. And some more that are just “tol’erable.” If some of his good ideas are jumped upon and steam-rollered into oblivion by the legislature, or are kicked about by the public and the press, the governor ought to take it as the fortunes of war. No need to berate the legislature, and the public and the press, as Hartley did Tuesday. For Hartley is.on the mound in the greatest national pastime of them all politics. No matter how well-intentioned his efforts or how well-delivered the ball, the hatters occasionally are going to cross him up. And every once in a while someone is going to meet the ball on the nose and smack it against the fence. Naturally, the crowd is going to holler. But it isn’t the pitcher’s job to kick to the umpire. He’s hired to pitch. Q. What are the seven wonders; of the ancient world? - A.

They are for the pur- of encouraging industry in order that employment may be plentiful. They seek to make business good in order that wages may be good.” Which brings us to the real Coolidge philosophy of life and government, one from which he does not depart, no mat- ter how carefully you examine this speech or his record as a public official. This philosophy is part of his being and he adheres to it. He has uttered it in the paragraph just quoted, but not so clearly as in the well-remembered speech made to the Massachusetts senate, nuary 7, 1914, This is it: “As the little red schoolhouse is builded in the college it may be that the fostering and protection of large aggregations of wealth are the only foundation on which to build the prosperity of the whole people.” Perhaps this newspaper seems, to some readers, unduly inclined to criticise the present occupant of the White House. But, actually, there is no purpose to with- hold from him credit for any accomplish- ments that serve the people. With his fundamental theory, which directs most of his policies, on the other hand, it is impossible to agree. We simply cannot accept the idea that the only y to pro- vide prosperity for all the people is to make a limited number very rich and then trust to luck and their good nature to see that some of their riches seep down to the rest. TRY THIS, INSTEAD ND now they're trying at Olympia to stop dentists from advertising. The dentists might put the shoe on the other foot, and urge adoption of a bill to make the senate and house advertise * what goes on in some of their back-door sessions. "Twould be mighty interesting, no doubt. The old bogey about advertising not being ethical has blown up. Everybody advertises these days. Competition makes it necessary. results are being the rich, but pose HIS POSITION S. MARKS, California bank man- M. ager charged with embezzlement, is reported to have explained: “I had to keep my position socially. I bought an automobile and gambled a little.” It is becoming rather commdn, with gents handling other people's money, to aspire to social position thru running a gaudy automobile and playing a little poker, or something equally as good, and there really is a certain social position in it. But, the position ought always to be arrived at on one’s own mone clu- sively, else one is apt to be socially fined to riding “Shank’s mare” and play- ing solitaire in a cell. Which remarks are, like enough, more of a warning to bank depositors than to bankers with ungovernable social ambitio 2 2 OUT OUR WAY , 1 Ti ER HHOH!
