THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY LABOR OPPORTUNITIES RESULT OF PARTY POLICIES LABOR OPPORTUNITIES RESULT OF PARTY POLICIES VOL. XXIX. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—President Coolidge, gravely receiving the mantle of his beloved chief, is facing many perplexities, but he will not encounter the nation-wide industrial depression with which the Harding administration was forced to grapple. Mr. Harding began his term beset by involuntary unemployment in the number of 5,000,000 and upward, which was emphasized by general industrial stagnation bequeathed by the Wilson administration. In less than two years this condition was effaced and supplanted by the greatest revival of production the country has ever witnessed. Wages are so high that the old dream of "a full dinner pail," has been realized, surpassed and forgotten to be superseded by fat savings accounts, homes free of mortgages and advanced educational opportunities for the children of wage earners. The tariff stimulated home production for domestic and South American consumption, which in turn affords permanent stability to wages, whereby workers may live comfortably, acquire something and make calculations for the future. Economy in governmental administration took the place of devastating waste, and the confidence of business was restored. The administration did not mark time, waiting upon European settlements, but began in true Republican fashion to develop its home and neighbor markets, which are an empire of production in themselves. This policy has yielded wonderful benefits to labor—not jerky, uncertain benefits, as were manifest during the war, but sound, lasting benefits, upon President Coolidge May Back Federal Action Against the Mob. Administration May Support Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in Next Congress Recent outbreaks of mobbism throughout the United States have caused President Calvin Coolidge and other government officials seriously to consider the advisability of backing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the next Congress and of taking federal action against the mob, according to a correspondent in a Washington newspaper. Representative Dyer has assured the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that he will introduce his bill on the opening day of the new session of the Congress and information reaching the N. A. A. C. P. confirms the impression that it will be one of the main issues before the national legislature. Washington reports state that President Coolidge is considering not only the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, but also an extension of its provisions whereby it would apply to all organizations of masked men who take the law "into their own hands." Representative Dyer is quoted as follows: "I have talked to President Coolidge State Hist & Nat Miss Society State House FOR THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA ITIES OF PARTY POLICIES which labor can depend for years to come. Every class of labor is drawing big dividends from this wise policy, but none more than colored labor. In this remarkable revival avenue for employment were opened to colored workers that have never been known before. Cotton pickers are transformed into steel workers with their consequent rewards in the highest scale of wages, Government statistics prove that 312,463 colored men and women, chafing under low wages and discrimination in the South, have found good wages and steady jobs in the North since November 30, 1922. Undoubtedly there is no instance in history wherein the colored people have found such immediate and permanent benefits from governmental administration since their emancipation. The dream of Abraham Lincoln has become a reality. Better living conditions, full measure of the privileges of citizenship, equal educational advantages and the opportunities of American manhood and womanhood are acquired for the colored people. The laws restricting immigration, whereby the leaks in the melting-pot are stopped up, give continued and enlarged opportunities for colored labor to enter into national industry in a manner commensurate with the worth of this labor. This is a fundamental principle of the Republican party, and this great industrial revival that affects every class of laboring people and every color is not an accident, but a skillful application of this principle. about my bill and I am preparing a memorandum for his consideration. Because of the plank in the Republican platform which pledged this legislation, I expect the President will support its enactment. "I will reintroduce my bill in practically the same form as it passed the House last year. It will apply to all mobs, consisting of three or more men, but in its present form would provide punishment only when the victim is killed. It applies to the Ku Klux Klan as well as any other body of men." Resolution Is Slap at South's Legion Policy Resolution Is Slap at South's Legion Policy New York, Aug. 24.—At the recent convention of the New York County American Legion held in the Waldorf-Astoria a resolution was adopted that should have a big effect on the status of our group in the Legion. The resolution, adopted unanimously, is to be presented at the coming national convention in San Francisco, provides that posts of our ex-service men which are refused charters in their own states may be chartered by the national organization. This resolution is to be presented at the national convention by the New York delegation, all members of which are pledged to work for its passage. It was presented at the convention at the request of Col. Charles Young post. South Being Aroused Against Ill-Treatment of Negro Says Moorfield Storey. American Bar Association's Ex-President Sends Greeting to N. A. A. C. P. Kansas City Conference Kansas City, Kan.—Moorfield Storey of Boston, ex-president of the American Bar Association, and now president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has sent a message of greeting to the Advancement Association in its Fourteenth Annual Conference here, which was publicly read at the opening Mass Meeting, Wednesday night, August 29. In his message, Mr. Storey said the inter-racial committees throughout the South showed that the consciences of white people were being roused against the ill-treatment of Negroes. The defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the last Congress by the filibuster of Southern senators, was an admission, said Mr. Storey, that the crime of lynching was a Southern one. Mr. Storey's message in full is as follows: "I am sorry that I cannot meet you face to face and in person offer you my congratulations on the successful year that has passed since our last meeting, and the prospects of assured and complete success that awaits us. "It is true that the Anti-Lynching Bill was defeated in the Senate by the refusal of Southern senators to allow it even to be considered. This was an admission that lynching was a Southern crime which they could not defend, and would not even discuss, but the vote in the House of Representatives, the strong backing from powerful influences all over the country, the signatures of Governors and leading citizens, and the vote of conventions and legislatures were in themselves success, for they showed what our agitation had accomplished in creating public opinion. "The results of the election in Northern States showed what our votes can accomplish, and made us a recognized power which can not be trifled with. Our success in the last election points the way for our future action. "The inter-racial organizations in the Southern States show that the consciences of people, who have probably long felt that the colored people in their various neighborhoods were ill-treated but have been silent, are at last aroused to action, and this is most important for till the people's conscience is aroused, nothing is really accomplished. "The Ku Klux Klan, calling itself a purely American society and organized to use lawless methods for accomplishing its ends is on the defensive, and in the nature of things cannot endure. "Our various branches have accomplished brilliant results in various cases which they have undertaken and the association as a whole is recognized and respected as a force which is working for good. "The road before us is long and difficult, but look backward for a moment and see how much longer and harder is the road which has been travelled in the last sixty years. Then look forward again with fresh courage and pledge yourselves never to admit defeat but to press on till every vestige of race discrimination has disappeared, and the Negro citizens of this great country are in fact, as they are now in law, the unquestioned equals of every other American citizen." New $80,000 Dormitory for Boys at Tuskegee Is Being Erected. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 31. Excavation for the erection of the new $80,000 dormitory for boys at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute has begun and the laying of the foundation will begin early this week. The erection of this building will serve to facilitate greatly the housing and handling of the increasing number of boys seeking training at the institute. Work on the building will be pushed as rapidly as possible with the aim of having it ready for occupancy during the incoming year. In accord with the policy of Booker T. Washington, the founder, the building will be erected by students under the supervision of instructors. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, announced today that judging from the large number of applications which have been received during the summer the enrollment for the ensuing scholastic year will be a record breaker. The records of the registrar showed that on July 10 the number of applicants exceeded that of the previous year by several hundred and there has been no abatement whatever in this direction since that time. No single feature has been more responsible for this increase than has the advanced Teacher-Training course which was added at the April meeting of the board of trustees. This course, which is equivalent to a junior college course is open to graduates of standard high schools and is designed to prepare young men and women as teachers. A large number of applicants from all sections of the country has been received and all indications point to a very successful and significant initial year. It is also significant to note the large number of applicants from northern states and foreign countries. The former in the main are high school graduates desiring vocational training along mechanical lines, while the latter are enrolling for the most part in the agricultural department. A large number of students have already arrived and are anxious to get to work. R. R. Moton Rescues Two From Bayou R. R. Moton Rescues Two From Bayou Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 24. Quick action on the part of Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute, probably saved the lives of John L. Webb, prominent in fraternal circles, and his daughter, both of whom came near drowning while swimming in one of the bayous near the city with a group of picnic bathers. Dr. Moton with other members of the party was seated on the embankment watching the bathers when suddenly they heard distress screams coming from Miss Webb, who was swimming in a deep part of the bayou. She had lost control of herself. Her father, who was near her, hurried to her rescue, but the frightened girl frantically seized both of his arms, thus making it impossible for him to stay above water. Dr. Moton saw the predicament of the two struggling figures and being an expert swimmer plunged into the water in his street clothing and brought the girl safely to the bank, where she was soon resuscitated. Mr. Webb is secretary of the Woodmen of Union, one of the leading Race fraternal organizations, and is treasurer of the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. Moton is president. DENVER GAILY DECORATED FOR GRAND LODGE SESSION OF MASONS With the Five Points district turned into a scene of beauty by the most gorgeous decorations ever known to that section, and with hundreds of strangers passing With the Five Points district turned into a scene of beauty by the most gorgeous decorations ever known to that section, and with hundreds of strangers passing to and frq the Grand Lodge session of the Fifty-sixth Annual Convention of the King Solomon Craft and Grand Courts of Free and Accepted York Masons of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado and Minnesota Jurisdiction, opened in Fern Hall, Monday. With the King Solomon Lodge convened Sunset Lodge No. 98; Silver Cord Lodge No. 104; Golden Star No. 103; Risen Sun No. 102; Queen of Sheba Court No. 98, and Naomi No. 99. Grand Master J. A. Broadnax of Kansas City presided over the session of the Grand Lodge, and Sister D. F. Cummings, most ancient grand matron of Kansas City, presided over the Grand Temple. From the standpoint of numbers and enthusiasm Denver has never entertained a more prominent gathering. To the same extent that the Elks are invading Chicago and the N. A. A. C. P. Kansas City this week, the York Rite Masons swept down upon Denver and were at once given the keys of the city by Mayor B. F. Stapleton. A royal welcome was extended them on every hand and many high class entertainments have been given in their honor. We are proud to see such a distinctive recognition officially given one of our grand lodge affairs. It definitely marks our citizenship and right to the full participation in the affairs of local government. We hope and believe much good will come from the meeting of the Masonic brethren in Denver. They will come to know us better and we can the better gauge the influence for good that may accrue from their purpose and principles. 500 Delegates Expected at N. A. A. C. P. Kansas City Conference. 500 Delegates Expected at N. A. A. C. P. Kansas City Conference. Special Train Carrying Members from Chicago Conference to Visit Men of 24th Infantry in Leavenworth Prison One of the largest conferences on race relations ever held in the United States, was expected to begin with the opening Mass Meeting, on Wednesday, August 29, of the Fourteenth Annual Conference in Kansas City of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. A special train had been arranged for to carry delegates and visitors from Chicago to Kansas City, and large delegations were appointed from middle and far western and southern, as well as eastern territories. The Grand Lodge of Masons for Oklahoma elected a delegation of 25 NO. 46. of the best men to go to the N. A. A. C. P. Conference, and special cars were engaged to carry them together with delegates from other Oklahoma branches. On Saturday, September 1st, the entire conference is to visit the members of the 24th Infantry, imprisoned in Leavenworth prison, Kansas, as an aftermath of the Houston race riot of 1917. The members of the conference are to be shown through the prison and will be given opportunity to talk with the prisoners. The Hon. C. B. Griffith, Attorney General of Kansas, who fought the Ku Klux Klan uncompromisingly in his state, is to present the Spingarn Medal to Professor G. W. Carver of Tuskegee. Mr. Griffith takes the place of Governor Davis of Kansas, who had rearranged his schedule in order to be able to attend the conference but whose illness, typhoid fever, has confined him to his bed. Governor Davis wrote expressing his regret at being unable to speak. Messages of greeting to the conference were received from President Calvin Coolidge and Moorfield Storey, president of the N. A. A. C. P., and were to be read at the opening Mass Meeting of the conference. 3 Articles on Race Relations in Current History Magazine. Three articles on race relations are published in the September Current History Magazine (Times Square, New York City). One of them is an analysis of the Negro migration northward by Eric D. Walrond, who reports the estimate that the present movement will bring 250,000 colored people out of the South. The second article is by Marcus Garvey, who blames his enemies for his downfall. The third is by Robert Watson Winston, a white lawyer and former judge of North Carolina, who admits most of the charges levelled against the white South, but asserts that the Negro will never be given his rights there and should emigrate to Africa. An eleven-piece orchestra composed of local young men, musicians of exceptional ability, proved to be the main attraction and a big drawing card at Grauman's Metropolitan theater, recently, with their eight minutes musical act. Mr. Herbert Atwell Rose, well known and highly favored violinist, is concert master with this aggregation. The act opened with an ensemble number. Mr. Rose played a violin solo which was vociferously applauded and Mr. Bert Johnson was the vocal soloist. They appeared four times daily. The act as a whole was good and well received by the audiences.—New Age Dispatch. (Los Angeles).

Le Souef, director of the Taronga zoo (Sydney), saw plenty of elephants, which were destructive to the crops put in by the natives of the Uganda country. He also observed the body of a small antelope about 14 feet up a tree. The carcass of the antelope had been put in this position for safe keeping, by leopards. "These members of the cat family are hand-roune, and extremely active," says Mr. Le Souef. "They play about in clear places in the forest, tear up the ground, and spring far up the trees. They are most active, but they do not readily attack humanity, unless it be a child at evening, and they are hungry. The beauty of their fur makes them desirable for a zoo and for rugs, but the number that may be killed is limited. I saw the beautiful Colobus monkey, which, in spite of its striking black-and-white coloring, was difficult to observe among the juniper trees from whose branches hung long pieces of lichen."

An official report has now been issued on the exploits of the British war dogs at the front. Hitherto nothing has been known about them except the occasional appearance in the war films of some shaggy dog rushing desperately across a piece of shell-scarred country. The corps of messenger dogs was the creation of Col. Richardson, the widely-known advocate of the use of dogs in war and police work. The dogs were trained at a war office school of instruction. Men with a knowledge of dogs, such as gamekeepers, shepherds and hunt servants, were selected as instructors. The first dog recruits came from various homes for lost dogs, and many a soldier owes his life to a stray dog saved from the lethal chamber by the war. Unclaimed dogs were sent to the camp by the police and many people sent their pets as war volunteers. The best breeds for the purpose proved to be collies, sheep dogs, lurchers, Welsh and Irish terriers, Alredales and mixtures of these varieties. The dogs were splendid. They would make their way through a tremendous barrage where no human being could go, and would take a vitally-needed message back in ten minutes over ground which would take a runner hours to cross. They were wounded sometimes, but went on just the same. During the great German push in March a Highland sheep dog ran about two and a half miles in ten minutes with an appeal for reinforcements, and by so doing prevented a very serious disaster. Part of our line was isolated by the barrage, and, thanks to the dog, a division of French colonials came up in time and saved the situation. Dogs did good service in following up the assaulting troops and taking back essential information about the condition of the line and the reinforcements needed. Out in the Balkans dogs were used as sentries, and one of them barked the news of the approach of a Bulgar scout when he was hundreds of yards away. How Mean of Her.

Kissing the policeman instead of the Bible, Mrs. Amelia Thompson, who was called as a witness for the defense in an assault case, at London, Eng., by her evidence got the accused acquitted. In the witness-box she took the Bible in her right hand, "Kiss it," said Sergt. Mason. "Must I?" inquired the lady. "By all means," responded the sergeant. "Well then, here goes; if it must be done, it must be, but it's a curious thing this law, as much kissing and hugging as if one was christening a baby," and she put her arms around the sergeant's neck, and gave him such a violent kiss that it resounded throughout the court. The magistrate called her a "stupid little thing" for misunderstanding what she was to do. How Much Is Enough to Eat? Science is speaking up for the 12-year-old who is always hungry. "Age, size and activity," have all to do with the matter. A boy may need more to eat than a girl because he exercises more rather than because he is larger. A small, bookish father tied to a desk may need much less to eat than his romping, growing 12-year-old progeny. It is safe to say that a growing child needs all the bread and butter and milk and fruit that it will eat; when the appetite must be coaxed with sweets it is not to be trusted. If you have stopped running and growing, don't gauge Bobble's needs by your relative sizes. Growing is strenuous business. Be sure that the children have both building material for this important occupation and energy fuel for their ceaseless activity. Watching the child's weight will give you a key to the situation. Center of Sponge Industry Nassan, the capital of the Bahama islands, is a town which seems to exist for the sponge business. Its coral streets all lead to "the sponge market." Carts, slatted on the sides like square bird cages and filled with sponges, are always in progress along Bay street. A fleet of sponge boats is always passing in and out of harbor or riding at anchor head out along the sponge wharf. Men of business hang out their signs as "Sponge Brokers." Entire yards are filled with sponges, and the constant chatter and song of hundreds of negresses at work clipping and pounding, assorting and drying sponges, are among the familiar street sounds. --- $3.85 Broken Sizes.

JOSEPH CARTER Express, Moving and Storage Coal and Wood 2415 WASHINGTON STREET Many years ago I attended a wedding in Cripple Creek, Colo., writes a correspondent of Chicago Tribune. All was progressing gayly until the bridegroom was called upon to produce the ring. In vain he felt in his trousers pocket; nothing could be found except a hole through which the ring had evidently fallen into his boot. He glared helplessly around the assembled guests. "Take off your boot," ordered his prospective mother-in-law. The young miner hesitated, the suspense and silence was painful. "Take off your boot," again came in strident tones, as the old lady crowded forward in a threatening manner. The young fellow reluctantly pulled off his boot, the ring was found—also a huge hole in the stocking through which five toes protruded. A painful silence ensued—but again the efficient old lady saved the day by remarking: "Sam, it's high time you were married."

While the fire that destroyed the four-story Stillman department store in Muncie recently was at its height an excited woman called police headquarters, saying that her husband, a workman, was supposed to be repairing the roof on the Stillman building and she feared he might have perished in the flames. A policeman who investigated found that the man in question not only had escaped but had helped to save a woman clerk who was in danger. The officer informed the wife of this, thinking she would not only be relieved but proud of the husband. Instead she snapped back: "What was my husband doing on the roof with a woman?"—Indianapolis News. W. K.

OPENING OF FALL SCHOOL TERM QUAL in importance and influence to the joyous enthusiasm so apparent in the closing days of a school term with its graduation and commencement exercises, is the opening of the fall term in school or college. Each of them are suggestive of a larger outlook upon life and as an opportunity for proper equipment to meet and battle the problems crowding into our social and economic life. There is a thrill closely interwoven with both events that extends from the little tot who for the first time enters the school room, to the near graduate who looks upon this as the last year in school. Education is never a finished product and the struggle for higher learning and for more knowledge closes only with life. Next Tuesday all of Denver's public schools will throw open their doors. Thousands of children, young boys and girls are awaiting the signal that bids them enter upon a period of mental and moral preparation. The public free school systems is undoubtedly America's most cherished institution. Education is placed within the reach of all poor, as well as rich, with no restraint upon race or nationality. We proclaim this without stint here in Colorado. With knowledge of this fact potent to all we naturally wonder to what extent those of our group are making ready to take advantage of the opportunities thus offered. We do not always like to think and act in group terms but since education is so essentially a part of that higher citizenship to which we strive, the importance of fitting ourselves for the responsibility causes us to take a personal interest in our own. When the doors of Denver's schools are opened next Tuesday, there should not be a child of school age outside the walls, health permitting. This is the age of preparedness. There is an incessant call for the man or woman ready to take up a given task with brain and ability. Life's obstacles are many and sometimes huge, and while as was well said by a public speaker here a few nights ago, education will not enable one to overcome all of them, still it removes numerous handicaps and unlocks many forbidden doors. The processes of education surrounds us at all times and may be for weal or woe. A boy or girl approaches maturity from knowledge gained either upon the streets or in the school room. The first spells tragedy, the second victory. The hard school of experience was a valued institution before the call for the artist, the scholar and the master mind grew so imperative. This we hope fond parents of Negro children will send or lead to school those to whom we look to as our hope and strength of the coming generation. Let us take a more direct interest in their school life, let us know and talk with their teachers, and daily note the unfolding of their minds in the eager grasp for culture and finish. If a child possesses a special aptitude for some particular line of study, let us not only be cognizant of the fact but offer every encouragement. The opening of our schools then becomes a great hour of responsibility and all of us will be richer in material advancement and the security of our future the more definitely fixed if we take full advantage of the opportunity. Send your child to school. "THE MOB AND THE STATE" UNDER the above caption the Rocky Mountain News of Wednesday, August 22, deals in generous fashion on menacing rise of the mob spirit that has manifested itself so vigorously of late. No doubt the renewed agitation for the enactment of a law giving power to the federal authorities to deal with mob violence may be suggestive of the thought contained in the editorial mentioned. It is not at all strange that the fury of the present outbreak should show itself more threatening in Southern states. It will be recalled, and not with a great deal of relish, that a bill against lynching passed the House of Representatives in the last Congress, only to be defeated in the Senate by Southern members on the plea of state's rights. It was the contention of those sponsoring the bill that Southern states could not or would seek to curb mob violence. Many well intentioned citizens felt that the indictment was overdrawn, but events of today amply justify the contention. Anarchy is abroad in the land and not philosophic anarchy, either. The South has brought the nation to its feet. State's rights, or would state's wrongs be the better terminology, have gone the limit in mob rule. It is but the natural offspring of a demon parentage. None but the most wilful and purposely blind could see anything other than the present outcome of a system steeped in sin and born in iniquity. There is no further need for either hypocrisy or weakness in dealing with the mob spirit. The constituted legal authorities must direct affairs in the individual states or else submit to the larger powers of centralized government. The United States cannot permit a wave of anarchy to go unchecked in any part of the country without being subjected to the danger of general disintegration. Sometimes the "horrible example" must be help up to the gaze of a nation, no less forcibly than before an individual in order to bring about a full realization of responsibility. And while the South has mainly offered this example, its early spread to the North can only be averted by stopping it now. The agitation over the Dyer bill was not in vain. It furnishes much food for reflection these days. The whole situation is admirably summed up in the News as follows: "Mob law in the states is signal to the United States that there is something wrong at the heart of things. It means that numbers of people have no reliance in the constituted government and in its laws. These people pretend to enforce the 'law.' What law? The unwritten law? Some law of the mob's making? Then abolish all written laws and courts—that is the logical sequence and consequence." Many innocent Negroes have gone to an untimely grave through rule of the mob, but theirs will be a martyrdom surmounting acheing hearts, if in the end a spirit of law enforcement and justice prevails. Mere Economic Considerations Cannot Determine Recognition of Russia By CHARLES E. HUGHES, U. S. Secretary of State. WE ARE not concerned with the question of the legitimacy of a government as judged by former European standards. We recognize the right of revolution and we do not attempt to determine the internal concerns of other states. The persons of our citizens in Russia are for the moment free from harm. No assurance exists, however, against a repetition of the arbitrary detentions which some of them have suffered in the past. The situation with respect to property is even more palpable. The obligations of Russia to the taxpayers of the United States remain repudiated. The many American citizens who have suffered directly or indirectly by the confiscation of American property in Russia remain without the prospect of indemnification. What is most serious is that there is conclusive evidence that those in control at Moscow have not given up their original purpose of destroying existing governments wherever they can do so throughout the world. Last November Zinoviev said: "The eternal in the Russian revolution is the fact that it is the beginning of the world revolution." Lenin, before the last congress of the Third Internationale last fall, said that "the revolutionists of all countries must learn the organization, the planning, the method and the substance of revolutionary work. Then, I am convinced, the outlook of the world revolution will not be good, but excellent." While this spirit of destruction at home and abroad remains unaltered the question of recognition by our government of the authorities at Moscow cannot be determined by mere economic considerations. There cannot be intercourse among nations any more than among individuals except upon a general assumption of good faith. The sentiment of our people is not deemed to be favorable to the acceptance into political fellowship of this regime so long as it denies the essential bases of intercourse and cherishes, as an ultimate and definite aim, the destruction of the free institutions which we have laboriously built up, containing as they do the necessary assurances of the freedom of labor upon which our prosperity must depend. "However, I Do Not Think the American Youth Is Dead, Only Asleep" By HANS TIESLER, Student, University of Berlin. I have visited some of the fraternity houses at your universities and have seen the stupidest and most terrible pictures upon the walls. That kind of art one does not see in European colleges. Another instance of your disregard for the beautiful was evidenced at the University of Michigan. The day we were there a football game and a symphony concert were both scheduled to take place. The entire student body, with the exception of one fellow, swarmed through the gates of the football field. This one young man went to the concert and for days later he was called "crazy" and a "Bolshevik" by the rest of the students. He was a social outcast. I don't know if it is fair to blame them, for your civilization is comparatively young. You, who are not even 500 years old, have all the riches of the world, but to gain that wealth you have not found time, perhaps, to develop a love for culture. Because of your fraternities there can be no individual thought. If twenty-four members of the society think one way, the twenty-fifth must think the same way. However, I do not think the American youth is dead, despite the fact that there is no youth movement here such as exists in Europe. American youth is only asleep and the sooner it awakes from its lethargy the better for the entire country. World Has Not Learned Much Wisdom From Ghastly Years of 1914-1918 By SIR JOHN FOSTER FRASER, British Writer. Where are these militarists leading the world? The country with the biggest battleship power is the United States. France is the greatest military power, with the strongest standing army in the world. Germany is supposed to be unarmed. * * * But that Germany intends to strike at the first opportunity there is no shadow of doubt. * * * Russia is an enigma. * * * A large army congregated on its European and Asiatic borders. What for? All the world is talking about the necessity for peace, and none of us has any stomach for another war. But if patriotic passion were again aroused, as it was nine years ago, I suppose we should all rush, hot-blooded, into the conflict. It is enough to make the angels weep that after the greatest tragedy the world has ever known the nations should be showing their teeth more in 1923 than even they did in 1913. Anyhow, the world does not seem to have learnt much wisdom from the ghastly years of 1914-1918. Some canker seems to be eating at the heart of mankind. The conditions of peace are more threatening today than they have been since the conclusion of the armistice nearly five years ago. Wild Flowers in Areas Frequented by Tourists and by Picnickers By B. O. LONGYEAR, Colorado Agricultural College. If a proposal to exterminate wild flowers were put to vote it would undoubtedly be unanimously defeated. Yet that is just what we are practicing on an extensive scale in this country. In most of the eastern woodland the choicer wild flowers have long ago disappeared, due to the craze for picking them, and in the more accessible places of our own state they are becoming scarcer each year. This is particularly true of areas frequented by tourists and picnickers (the latter title probably coming from the tendency to pick things). The picking in moderation of the flowers alone or even with a small amount of foliage would not be so bad, but the fact that when a person once gets the habit he (usually she, in this case) readily loses the sense of moderation and becomes intemperate. Moreover, the plants are usually pulled up or broken off at the ground and in such cases extermination is the common result. But why should the wild flowers be picked? The real naturalist loves them none the less because he (or she) leaves them to deck the rocky glen or gleam like jewels rare beside the mountain stream and quiet pool. This is where they belong, that all who pass that way may see and enjoy. Sixteenth and Stout Streets Store Hours: 9 A.M. to 5:30 P.M.

THE MERRY MATRONS AT FERN HALL ‘A card party for one hundred and twenty-five ladies featured a very swell affair at Fern hall Saturday af- ternoon from 2 to 5 p. m., given by the Merry Matrons as their summer social offering, Included in the large number of guests were a number of ‘visiting tourists for which Denver is so noted at this season of the year. kina TUT DANCING PARTY SUC- CESSFUL EVENT. Despite the heavy rain of last Tues: day night, the King Tut dancing party at Fern hall given by St. Katherine Guild, was largely attended and high- ly successful, both artistically and fi- nancially. For many weeks Denver s0- clety has been in a flutter over the ap- proach of the rejuvenated Egyptian Monarch and his royal court, and the many beautiful, strange costumes, sug- gestive of the weird garb of the an- cients, bore testimony of the wide- spread interest and keen rivalry of the social set. Naturally enough, Al Green- way was crowned Old King Tut him- self and his royal court attachees con- sisted of Ralph Motley, George W. Gross and “Lige” Jackson, the official secretary. Hon, James Weldon John- son of New York, was given a crown of honor as was his wife and both grace- fully carried out the parts assigned them. Prof. George Morrison (himself) be- ing on hand, gave the merry dancers just the needed musical “pep” for such an oceasion and thus Denver's first in- terpretation of Old King Tut will go down as a great big success.

One of the most interesting and pleasant smokers during the mid-sum- mer season was held in honor of Dr, James Weldon Johnson by the Denver Colored Civic Association on last Mon- day evening at Odd Fellows’ Hall. The hall was crowded to capacity by the visiting friends and members of the association who were anxious to ex- tend a hearty greeting to the distin: guished visitor and get a “close up” view of the man who has attracted the attention of the nation to the horrors of lynching and burning of human be- ings and who has endeared himself to the hearts of his people by the states- manlike manner in which he directed the fight for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill before the last Con- gress. Dr. Johnson entertained the associa- tion in a most pleasing manner and gave the members much food for thought. He is a most interesting and forceful speaker. It was an event of great benefit to everyone present and all felt highly re- paid for haying had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Johnson at this smoker and hear from the lips of one of our distinguished race leaders his sincere approval and endorsement of the great work being accomplished in our com- munity by the Denver Colored Civic Association. Especially did Dr. Johnson impress upon his audience the importance and necessity of race co-operation, and at the same time he applauded individual effort and success, But the keynote of his address was economic co-opera- tion among the leaders and business men and women of our group. In that connection he was most highly pleased to see that our men were striv- Ing to erect such a beautiful and com- modious Colored Civic Community building here in Denver that would give our people added prestige, power and influence. ‘Thus ended one more notable event in the history and activities of the Denver Colored Civie Association, ©, M.

Antonito.—Scott E. Land, superintendent of the state fish hatcheries, dropped dead in front of one of the cabins at the Conejos fish hatchery, near Antonito. Death is believed to have been caused by apoplexy. Pueblo.—The deal for the purchase of Woodcroft Sanitarium as an addition to the Colorado State Hospital was completed at Pueblo at a conference between Frank Hoag of the Colorado Board of Corrections and Dr. C. W. Thompson, owner of the institution. Denver.—The Denver Stage Employees' union has reached an agreement with the Denver Theatrical Managers' Association providing for a wage increase of $7\frac{1}{2}$ per cent on the present scale, putting to an end a wage dispute that for a time threatened to develop into a strike. Boulder.—At the annual commencement exercises Sept. 1 at the University of Colorado twenty-four persons received master of arts degrees. Of the twenty-four, ten are holders of bachelor of arts degrees from the State University, while the others are graduates of Denver, Tennessee, Chicago, Iowa, Brown, Bethel, Pittsburgh, Friends and Indiana universities and West Texas Normal, Bradley Polytechnic, Rice Institute, St. Xavier, Texas Presbyterian and Drury colleges. Denver.—A new angle of investigation in connection with the looting of the Hibernia Bank and Trust Company developed recently when the authorities started checking up an alleged statement of Maurice Mandell, boy broker, accused of a hand in the wrecking of the bank, to the effect that part of the $465,000 in loot was removed from the bank vaults three days before the crash, and, in his opinion, was hidden by Leo P. Floyd, former secretary of the bank, and John Harrington, former teller. Durango.—Lafayette Current, 60, a widely known lawyer of Aztec, met instant death when his shotgun was accidentally discharged as he was attempting to shoot a skunk which had been bothering his family for several nights. The entire charge of shot entered his left side in the region of the heart. Denver.—When P. R. Dease of 1329 East Twenty-sixth avenue took to his heels as two bandits commanded him to throw up his hands, one of the hold-ups fired three shots after him. The holdup occurred at an alley on East Twenty-sixth avenue near Downing street. Dease ran three blocks and fell exhausted. All three bullets went wide of their mark. Denver.—Important clews indicating that the run on the Home Savings and Trust Company was caused by a Denver woman who wished to revenge herself for a personal grievance against certain directors of the bank were being followed by operatives from the district attorney's office, according to Kenneth W. Robinson, and it was believed that an arrest will be made soon. Durango.—A record in the number of high school graduates making decisions to attend higher schools of learning has been established by the class of 1923 of the Durango high school. Forty per cent of the class, which represents twenty-four of the graduates, will leave the city this fall to enter colleges or universities. Pueblo.—Arthur Baggisti, 10 years old and son of Bert Baggisti, a miner in the Rockvale district, west of Pueblo, lost his left leg when he was caught in a cable while playing around the mouth of the mine. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Boulder.—The powers of the State Tax Commission are to be tested this fall when the state body will be called upon to equalize valuations. The abstracts of Boulder and Weld county, for example, show great discrepancies and there is a possibility that Boulder civic interests will demand that Weld county's valuation be increased or that Boulder county make a corresponding decrease. The two counties border each other. In Weld county automobiles are appraised on an average of $186.67, a decrease of nearly $100 over last year. In Boulder county the valuation on autos averages $266.50. Irrigated land in Weld county is assessed $101.17; in Boulder, $112.32; dry farming, $11.32 in Weld, $34.92 in Boulder; horses, $45.23 in Weld, $54.75 in Boulder; mules, $46.64 compared to $73.67 in Boulder; range cattle, $23.47 in Weld, $25.31 in Boulder; milch cows, $41.78 in Weld; $43.28 in Boulder. Denver.—Bolstered by the backing of the Denver Clearing House Association and large deposits of a score or more of prominent business men, the Home Savings and Trust Company kept its doors wide open. This assurance was given by Frank L. Bishop and Michael A. McLaughlin, president and vice president, respectively, of the bank. They are of the opinion, as is most of the rest of the banking fraternity, that the hysteria and apprehension that attended the assignment of the Interstate Trust Company and the failure of the Hibernia Bank and Trust Company is passing rapidly. The peak of the excitement, based solely on the promiscuous spreading of unfounded rumors, was believed reached. Denver.—Work was begun recently to convert the fifty-four mile Farmington, N. M., branch of the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad from standard to narrow gauge, according to announcement by Frank A. Wadleigh, general passenger agent of the Denver & Rio Grande. A report from Durango incorrectly stated that the road was to be converted into a standard gauge. It is now standard gauge, according to Mr. Wadleigh, and the change to narrow gauge is being made to afford a uniform gauge road from Alamosa to Farmington, thereby eliminating transfer of live stock and other freight from one gauge to another. Denver.—Cool production for the state of Colorado during the month of July was 689,254 tons, bringing the total for the year to 5,716,658 tons, according to the monthly report of James Dalrymple, state coal mine inspector. The report shows that there has been an increase of 637,761 tons of coal mined this year, compared with a similar period last year. There were 11,472 men employed in the mines of the state during the month. Colorado Springs.—Following the resignation of Sheriff Sam Berkley from the Elsie Suttle murder investigation, and his charge of a lack of cooperation on the part of police and the district attorney's office, District Attorney Willis Stracham declared that it was and is the duty of the sheriff to continue to aid the district attorney's office in the probe of the murder which occurred recently and that he knew of no lack of co-operation. Fort Collins.—Fifteen students received their degrees from the Colorado State Agricultural College here, Wednesday, at the first regular commencement and conferring of degrees ever held in Fort Collins, at the close of a summer session. The students' petitions for degrees were approved last spring by the State Board of Agriculture, with the condition that they fulfill certain requirements during the summer session. Fort Collins.—S. B. Nuckols, agronomist with the United States Department of Agriculture, stationed at Fort Collins for several years in charge of sugar beet investigation work, has been ordered to Washington, where he will be connected with the tariff commission for the purpose of determining the cost of growing sugar beets. Colorado Springs—Friction between Sheriff Berkley on the one side and the police department and District Attorney Willis L. Strachan on the other, was the outstanding development of the fifth day of the Elste Jorgenson Suttle murder mystery. As a result of their differences, the sheriff is understood to have withdrawn in a large measure from the case, and left the task of hunting down the perpetrator of the crime to Chief Hugh D. Harper and the district attorney's office. Sheriff Berkley let it be known that his theory was that the crime was an "inside job." Denver.—Maltenance crews of the State Highway Department will begin the erection of 1,500 new road signs in the near future, according to an announcement made by officials of the department. The signs, giving direction and distances of the nearest towns, have been delivered by the Rocky Mountain Motorists, an organization formed to encourage highway travel in the state. The signs have been paid for by this organization and the State Highway Department will defray the cost of erection. Pueblo.—While the Great Western Sugar Company had earned an average of 20 per cent a year on its capital stock since 1905, sugar beet growers have earned less than 7 per cent, Gov. William E. Sweet said in an address to 3,000 farmers at the Farmers' Union plncic at Pueblo. Sweet charges that in many cases "banks would not lend a farmer money unless he also raises sugar beets." The governor urged farmers to resort to co-operative marketing to enforce their demands for a contract giving them 50 per cent of the value of their beet crop.

President Millerand received the entire American Legion delegation headed by Col. Alvin M. Owsley, national commander, at the presidential summer chateau at Rambouillet, France. A branch of the Ku Klux Klan has been formed at Auckland, New Zealand, to combat Aslatic labor and traders, according to reports. It is asserted that the branch has a membership of nearly 1,000. The oldest surviving nurse of the American Civil war is living in an English workhouse in London. She is Mrs. Janet Newbury, 101 years old. She was an associate of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern Red Cross nursing. According to the London Star the salvage ship which has recovered $30,000,000 in gold bars from the sunken liner Laurentic off the Irish coast is under guard of a destroyer to prevent a raid by Irish republicans. The salvage vessel is a real treasure ship with the decks literally covered with recovered gold. Fire gutted the Cosmopolitan cafe, the largest restaurant in Nogales, Sonora, a few days ago. The Nogales, Ariz, fire department crossed the international line and assisted in efforts to control the blaze. Damage is estimated at $60,000. The Cosmopolitan cafe was a popular gathering place for visitors from the United States. The press is excited over disciplinary measures taken against one newspaper which violated the release date on Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood's annual report to the secretary of war. The report was for release at midnight Saturday, Aug. 25, but one paper printed the most important excerpt on Saturday afternoon. In consequence the governor general has excluded reporters of that newspaper from his executive offices for one month. Eberbach, Germany, Aug. 28.—I am certain that the gold discovered in the hills near Hagerstown, Md., is part of the money I buried there before leaving the United States," said Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, wealthy American draft dodger. He continued: "I could not describe just where I secreted my money but I could go to the place. It was in the mountainous region around Hagerstown. I planted more than $100-000. I renounce all claim to the money. The lucky finder can have it. I congratulate him. I hope he needed it. I also buried some money in West Virginia but I will not say just where. Maybe I will get it back myself some day." Bergdoll is living in secrecy in Eberbach, Germany, owing to the recent attempt to kidnap him. GENERAL The first step in the laying of the eighteenth cable across the Atlantic was begun a few days ago. Miss Emile Bullow of New York was re-elected president of the National Association of Women Lawyers. Directors of the Coca Cola Company declared a quarterly dividend of $1.75 on common stock payable October 1 to stockholders of record September 15. Robbers who had piled $75,000 worth of furs outside the establishment of Pannock & Hallbach, Omaha furriers, made their escape when surprised by police. A mother, Mrs. Ross Zimiz, shot and seriously wounded her son, Dezzo, 19, because, she told the police, she would rather kill him than have him pursue a career of crime. At the closing session of the International Photoengravers' union convention at Milwaukee, Los Angeles was chosen over New York as the meeting place for the 1924 convention. Aside from the anthracite situation, President Coolidge is understood to be giving as much study these days to the merchant marine problem as to any other governmental question. A national negro organization, with a membership of 250,000 voters, is the aim of the National Negro Democratic League in Chicago. Plans for launching the new nonpartisan association were made at a meeting recently. A violent hall storm which struck the section around Norfolk, Neb., resulted disastrously to corn crops, live stock and poultry, corn being stripped of its ears and foliage and many head of live stock and flocks being killed. Members of a score of New York unions have bought the stock of the New York Call, for fifteen years New York's leading labor publication, it was announced by the newspaper. The Call was founded and published for fifteen years by the Workingmen's Co-operative Publishing Company. The new owners have organized the Labor Press Association, Inc., which is capitalized at $500,000. Norman Thomas, formerly associate editor of the Nation, has been appointed editor-in-chief. The casket containing the body of the late President Harding was placed in an asphalt sarcophagus, weighing 2,600 pounds, a few days ago. After the sarcophagus was sealed it was placed in the vault in the Marion cemetery, where the body was entombed several weeks ago. Later it will be placed in a mausoleum which is to be constructed. The select cattle from the Ken-Caryl ranch at Littleton, Colo., owned by John C. Shaffer, won many prizes at the fair being held in Des Moines, Iowa.

Olive Norris, 28, and Augusta Fredenburg, 10, were drowned at Reedsport, Oregon, when a rowboat in which they were riding capsized in a swirling current. D. L. Chapman, 30, and his daughter, Jean, 2, of Roseburg, were also drowned in the accident. San Francisco, famed from coast to coast for its cool, invigorating weather, encountered weather recently which caused her population to seek the beaches and the city parks. The weather bureau reported that the highest temperature was 82 and the lowest was 55 degrees. Highest honors in the international, first aid and mine rescue meet, held in Salt Lake City under the auspices of the United States bureau of mines, were won by the teams from the Benton district, Benton, Ill., and the Anaconda Copper Mining Company from Great Falls, Mont. The original of "The Entombment of Christ," painted early in the seventeenth century by Gulo Reni, a recognized master of the Bolognese school, and considered by critics as almost priceless, was stolen from E.

The announcement was made simultaneously at Washington and Mexico City, giving the date of the formal resumption of diplomatic relations as early in September, and also fixing the date for the signing of claims conventions a few days after the recognition. Department, of Justice agents will endeavor to determine whether gold coin reported to have been dug up recently near Hagerstown, Md., by a road worker is the property of Grover C. Bergdoll, Philadelphia draft evader, low in Germany. Announcement that arrangements have been made with William J. Burns, chief of the department's bureau of investigation for agents "well versed and experienced in the Bergdoll case to investigate the whole occurrence in the vicinity of Hagerstown." Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian, declared the United States government, "through this office will be interested if the money proves to be Bergdoll's." Restoration of a monarchy in Germany within a year was predicted by Representative Aswell, Democrat, Louisiana, who presented to President Coolidge some observations gained on a recent European trip. Baseball bids fair to become the national sport of Latin-American countries, displacing bullfights as a form of recreation and entertainment, according to reports from consuls in Latin countries to the Department of Commerce. Baseball at the present time is the most popular sport in Cuba. A uniformed team has been organized in practically every community. Communism in Russia is dead, and Russia is on the road to recovery, Col. William N. Haskell, who was in charge of American relief administration activities there, said in a final report to Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce and chairman of the relief administration. Not only did American aid, amounting to $60,000,000, during the last two years, save millions of lives in Russia, said Colonel Haskell, but more valuable than all, spread a lasting inheritance for America in good will of the Slav races. Divers went to the bottom of the ocean a few hundred yards off from Avalon, Calif., in search of a small, black bag which holds some $30,000 worth of precious jewels belonging to Mrs. Florence Dowling of New York and Boston, accidentally dropped overboard from the yacht of J. Black, when a chair on which the bag of jewels had been laid was tipped over. Sixty missionaries on their way to China for the foreign missionary board of the Southern Baptist convention arrived in Seattle recently. Most of them came from Richmond, Va. "WHITE HOUSE" IS MADE IN A HOTEL NEW PRESIDENT FOUND EVERY ARRANGEMENT PERFECT WHEN KE ARRIVED. PARTY CHIEFTAINS GATHER Eager to Learn Mr. Coolidge's Intentions Concerning World Court and Other Matters—New England's Influence Supreme in Administration, By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—Recently a suite of twenty rooms in a Washington hotel was turned in a twinkling into a substitute for a White House. It is said that the two most alertly efficient government working staffs are those of the White House and of the secret service. Together these two organizations did the work. When Calvin Coolidge, having left Washington as vice president of the United States, came back to it as President, he went direct from the station to the rooms in the New Willard hotel which he had occupied ever since he arrived in the capital for the first time. There had been only twenty-four hour's notice of his elevation to the presidency and of his immediate coming to Washington. He found a substitute White House ready for him, with reception rooms and working rooms prepared, and a staff of clerks ready to transact the necessary public business. Already Republican chieftains have gathered around the party council table. One writes facts as they suggest themselves. It is believed that President Coolidge meant definitely what he said when he declared his intention to carry out the Harding policies. The Harding policies include a plan for American membership in the International Court of Justice. As the country knows, the Republican party, and to an extent also the Democratic party, is divided on the wisdom of such membership. President Coolidge, it is believed, at this writing, intends to stand by the Harding world court plan. Seemingly there are many of the leaders of his political party who are determined that, if the President can be made to yield to persuasion to take a counter course, attempts at persuasion shall not be lacking. Party Chiefs Flocked About Hlm. For days in the temporary White House in the hotel there were present members of the Republican party who supposedly have high influence in directing its ways. The first word was that attempts were made to sway the new President from his world court intention, and this before the funeral of the great advocate of the world court had been held. Everything pointed to the conclusion that the forces of opposition were at work from the instant that President Coolidge arrived in Washington. Later denials came from Republican chieftains that they had discussed anything with the President, except matters of immediate moment, largely having to do with the preparations for the ceremonies attending President Harding's funeral. It was evident, however, from what was said by the incoming party chieftains, that the world court policy of President Coolidge was uppermost in their minds. Until it definitely is known whether the matter again is to be pressed on the senate of the United States, the chances of party official endorsement for any possible ambition of President Coolidge to succeed himself must remain unde- cided. New England in the Saddle. In the present government of the United States, New England is all influential, if not all powerful. The President is a New Englander; the leader of the senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, is a New Englander; the speaker of the house of representatives is a New Englander. Senator McLean, chairman of the powerful committee on banking and currency, is a New Englander; Senator Colt, chairman of the immigration committee, is a New Englander; Representative Winslow, chairman of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, a committee that largely controls railroad legislation, and Secretary of War Weeks are New Englanders. There are indications that in some matters legislative New England may be divided against itself during the next eighteen months. If President Coolidge shall stay by his seeming determination to attempt to secure endorsement for the Harding plan for world court membership, it is believed he will not be given the support of most of the national legislators who come from his section of the United States. New England is the seat of great opposition to any American attempt to straighten out the affairs of Europe, unless such attempt shall be made in a way which in no wise will commit this country to any participation in the activities of European organizations, leagues, or anything else. There never was an American newly elected to the office of President who managed to escape the anecdote retailer and the story teller generally. Tales of the boyhood of our presidents, of their early manhood and of their lives later have been as plentiful as stars. Some of the stories have been manufactured. espe clally those about Abraham Lincoln, and some others may have only a vestige of truth, but some of them are true and their character essence shows the youth as the man. President Coolidge has not escaped the fate of his predecessors in his office. Some of the stories about Mr. Coolidge would make it appear that he has been one that we will call "near" or close in money matters. It is not at all true. President Coolidge has that frugal mind which we are told in the poem that Mrs. Gilpin possessed, but frugality and nearness are not by any means the same thing. The New England farmer must be frugal just as the Scotch farmer must be. A man who makes his living out of a rocky farm in New England must be saving if he is to lead a debtless life. All New Englanders cannot be manufacturers. Learned Simple Life as a Boy. When he was a boy Calvin Coolidge did not have much spending money. Later he found that he must live upon a small salary. Now generosity is, so to speak, a proportionate thing. The man who has a dollar and gives ten cents to a poverty-stricken neighbor is more generous than the man who has fifty dollars and gives two of them to the distressed. With the parable of the widow's mite in mind, it seems curious that anyone should speak of stinginess on the part of a man who gives all out of proportion to his income but who cannot give 'large sums because he hasn't them. As the boy, so the man. Mr. Coolidge as a boy learned to like and to live on simple food and to dress simply. He still eats simply and dresses simply. As far as the former is concerned, it is probable that in part he owes his rugged health to the fact that he retained his farm-time habits. In letters from Washington it has been said that Calvin Coolidge knows how to say "no," and that he knows how to stick to his negative when it has been given. A New Englander who was a law school mate of Mr. Coolidge told the writer that in the early days of 1920 some of Mr. Coolidge's friends thought he had more than a possible chance to be nominated by the Republicans for the presidency. His chief political adviser wrote him a letter containing some advice on a specific subject, telling him, "Here is the thing that you ought to do to strengthen your cause." This letter was sent to Mr. Coolidge at the statehouse in Boston. In an hour the sender received the letter back with these words written across its face; "I shall do nothing of the kind." The thing which Mr. Coolidge had been asked to do was in itself harmless enough, but he had the thought that an affirmative statement on it might be regarded as lacking in sincerity, and so he sent the "no" which a good many Washington politicians today fear is going to be heard again in the near future. Overwork Killed Mr. Harding. President Harding's body has been given back to earth in the community where he lived, toiled and made his way upward. In less than three years from the day on which the Americans, of which the majority of the voters honored him with support, chose him as President, the end came. The country speaks of three presidents as martyrs—Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley—and it well might add the name of Harding to the list. He died a martyr to work. Prior to the mournful journey to Marion, the President's body lay in state in the capitol, the Front Porch of the nation. It is probable that the crowds thronging about the great building realize what it was that killed their President? Is it possible that the masses of the people will echo Warren G. Harding's words on the World war for another purpose and say, "It must not be again"? From the date that this man received notice of his nomination for the presidency he had no rest until death gave it to him. It will be said that he had vacations on several occasions. He went away seeking rest, but he never found it. The nation's business and the troubling politicians always were with him. In Washington, with the burdens of office upon him doubled, tripled and quadrupled by the grave complications, domestic and foreign, that followed the war, he was compelled to take away from the hours of rest rightly belonging to him to give them over to consideration of the petty and personal importunities of his party men and to those of his thoughtless fellow citizens generally. Coolidge May Have Courage to Resist. Under the rule of a "willing" president there is no possible rest in the White House. The people seemingly expect certain things, and they must be given what they expect even if the giving wears the giver to the breaking point. Reforms in government constantly are demanded. A chief reform well might begin in a field which is not strictly governmental in its activities. Every day of the year the White House is besieged by insistent seekers after something or nothing. As a rule, presidents yield to the personal clamorlings rather than to confront the charge of coldness or of indifference to precedents which others have set. President Coolidge comes into office confronted with the unfinished work of President Harding. It makes a mountain. It may be that the nontemperamental Coolidge may save himself from many of the avocations of the temperamental Harding. If he makes the saving he may lose in popularity, but he will safeguard his life. It takes a high courage to do the unpopular thing. It is said that President Coolidge has this courage. He needs it.
