More than two billion dollars'
of German marks were bought by
people outside of Germany in th
last five years. This is one fact dug
up by the Dawes committee. Put
ting it another way. Germany has
made two billion dollars profit un
loading tons of paper money on the
world and then depreciating it to
penalty later when she tries to mar
ket financial securities of real value.

After a careful diagnosis of the
address of President Coolidge before
the Associated Press meeting, we
have reached the conclusion that he
is another one of those persons who
uses words but htey don't say noth
ing. : o :
It is now a well established fact
that spring has decided to stay w ith
Qfl until summer. The sap is run
ning in the trees and wild flowers
are getting wilder. Baths are be
ing taken. A citizen who has had
his bath writes us: "Just as soon as
the coal was removed from the bath
tub. I knew what it was. I turned
to my wife and I said. 'Wife, that's
a bathtub.' "

result of his efforts to obtain free- g Jamesoni Elizabeth

years of confinement at the asy- 1 y. Kinzer et al are Defendants, I
lum for the insane. Thaw has he- JfMJ at 10 o'clock a. m., on the 31st
come a lonely figure. The world
had all but forgotten, except when
it was reminded by periodical visits
to h?s home, when his picture is
printed in the papers and thero Wtts
recounted the tragedy in which he
his life, but for his freedom.
But through the years interven
ing while the world has scorned him
and has all but forgotten him. his
aged mother has never had him out
of her thoughts, and has never ceas
ed her efforts in his behalf. On the
short vacations allowed him it is to
his mother he has gone, and now as
there is enacted another court room
scene, it is the mother who sits
nearby, that mother who has passed
the four-score mark.
We would not go into the merits
of the Thaw case. We would not
even venture to pass an opinion as
to his sanity. That is for the court
to decide. If he is considered
menace to society he should be re
tained at Mattewan. If it can be
proved he is in possession of his
right mind, and that no one. in all
probability, will be harmed by his
reelase. then perhaps the court
would be justified in terminating his
confinement. But the courts must
decide.
In the meantime, however, we can
not fail to pay a passing tribute to
his mother. With the Thaw mil
lions, it is possible for her to have
every luxury, and to gratify every
whim that money can buy. Yet this
Is nothing to her compared to hav
ing her son. No matter what the
world thinks, no matter what testi
mony may be introduced against
him. she remains his mother, loving
for him until the end. As we read
of the aged woman, sitting in the
court room day after day. we are re
minded of those lines from Kipling:
"Were I to be hanged on the highest
hill.
Mother o' mine. Oh. Muther o' mine.
I know that your love would follow
me still
Mother o' mine,

WEARING WORK
President Coolidge has discontin
ued the wearisome practice of shak
ing hands every day with the hun
dreds of visitors who assemble at
the executive office of the White
Houfo at the conclusion of the fore
noon's business. In his good nature,
however, he permits visitors to stroll
through his office and watch his
work.
The presidency of the United
States has been called very appro
priately a man-killinK job. Tho
heavy strain of its manifold duties
would wear down the health and
strength of the most robust of men.
For the president to increase that
strain by going through the fa
tiguing process of shaking hands
with long lines of visitors, every day
is both needless and undignified.
It is to he hoped that Mr. Cool
idge will not long permit streams of
vsiitors to wander through his of
fice during his working hours.
That must Me distracting and a trial
to his nerves.
The president of the United States
has the biggest and the most exact
ing job in the world. He should be
permitted to attend to it without the
interference of the handshakers and
without being stared at "hy all the
sightseers who choose to intrude
upon him while he is busy.
