Suppose it were within your power
to confer absolute contentment on
each and every person in America;
would you do it?
Sometimes, when the going is hard
and life offers a few more bumps than
it ordinarvily does, it seems as if
contentment is more desirable of at
tainment than any other condition
possible.
To be content; to be satisfied with
things as they are; to be happy in
one's lot, whatever it may be; to be
able to accept hardship and sorrow
and injustice with philosophic calm
doesn't it almost seem as if it
would be the greatest boon one could
grant ?
And yet there is another quality, J
the direct opposite to all this, which!
has been called "the divine discon-j
tent."
Poets have had it, and artists, and
rebels and liberators and wild proph
ets since time began.
It has been blazoned on the sream
ing banners of all the- great hosts that
have stormed the heights of injustice
and wrong. It has driven men to
Drisons and jrallows. even to mad
houses as witness Nietsche and
Dean Swift and our life is richer
because of it.
The spark of discontent burned in
the breasts of the men who freed
human slaves. It inspired the ragged
throngs that knocked down France's
Bastile, and the frontiersmen who
once tossed a cargo of tea into Bos
ton Harbor. It animated Martin Lu
ther, and Washington, and Garibaldi,
and Bolivar, and the Apostle Jaul,
and Lincoln, and Wilson.
No. The highest boon the human
race can have is not to be content;
not just now.
Rather let us hope that all of ua
can be divinely discontented, at time;
that we can be made so dissatisfied
that we will take no rest from the
farth: that we will never endue that
a lie shall prosper or that a truth
shall fall; that we will not be quiet
so long as any of our number are con
demned to lives of poverty and sor
row. The time will come when we may
all aspire to contentment.
1$ will come, perhaps, when a hun
dred thousand American children no
longer toil their youth away in dreary
factories; when the squalid miles of
tenenments that make mock of our
great cities have given way to clean
decent homes; when places of honor
and power are given to our thinkers
and artists instead of to our ex-ward
heelers, professional athletes and sim
pering screen actors and actresses;
when freedom and truth are words
that command respect, instead of be
ing mere words.
But right now, if it were within
your power to confer absolute con
tentment on each and every person in
America, would you do it?

something of the sort.
President Coolidge has pardoned
Gerald Chapman and thereby lifted a
25-year sentence to the federal pen
itentiary, but Chapman says in effect
that although he is much obliged to
the president for extending clemency,
he believes he will not accept same.
He doesn't want to impose upon the
president's good nature; besides, par
don in Atlanta means a neck break
ing in Connecticut, in the peculiar. r
circumstances of this case.
The president acted promptly to
remove all ofstacles in the way of
Chapman's execution for murder in
Connecticut, it appearing that the
penitentiary sentence had priority
over the death penalty.
The lay public had assumed that
this action by the president practical

percent of his income during the year.
