V Mr. Coolidge did not choose to
be brief in his message.
:o:
Lessons are learned from adversity,
but it ie not a favorite text book.
:o:
Former Senator Poindexter of
Washington is to stage a comeback.
:o:
. Did you know that Shylock was
only making a play for human in
terest? :o:
Yes, President Coolidge really
means he will not run. He urges etill
further economy.
:o:
Every night count your blessing.
Every morning count yesterday's mis
takes and be careful.
When a man gives his satanical I
-:o
majesty his due it is usually at the '
expense of his other creditors.
:o:
The Maine woman who knits 70
pairs of mittens every year must be
an adept at handing out the mitten.
:o:
Farthest north in confidence .is
that shown by a dog when it goes
into a field with an amateur hunter.
:o:
For every successful man you meet
you will meet a dozen unsuccessful
ones who claim to have given him a
start.
:o:
The manicure girl declares that
married men are fine and dandy as
long as you are not the one married
to them.
:o:
The first straw vote of the 1928
elections has been announced, and
soon we shall get into the full swing
of the thing.
:c:
The man who boasts he will have
nothing to do with politics is the
loudest kicker when he receives his
tax statement.
:o:
:Men who have always worn shoes
big enough for them have got along
in life Just as well as if their feet
had looked prettier.
:o:
Presidential candidates are now
wearing a more cheerful look, a3 if
there was not some one around the
corner watching them.
:o:
Verbose orators on the radio are ,
found servicable by
stenographic
students. This is a case where speed
counts for more than a matter.
:o:
A school whose walls will be of
transDarent glass is
to be
erected
in Berlin, it is said. There may be
an idea here for architects of future
city halls,
:o:
A nice Christmas present for
yourself will be the purchase of a
1928 auto license tag. Also, there's
no use waiting, for they won't be
cheaper after Christmas.
:o:
Shakespeare is credited with hav
ing written thirty-four plays, says a
floating news item. The author of
the Item appears to be one of those
old-fashioned chaps. A critic of the
new school would say that Shakes
peare is charged with having writ
ten thirty-four Ellzabethlan plays.

THE TENDENCY TOWARD PEACE
I The advances made of late years
in settling disputes between nations,
or international differences, have'
been witnessed in the negotiations
between this country and France.
The trouble arose through the course I
of Prance in materially increasing
the tariff rates against American
products, with our government pro
testing politely, of course, but vigor
ously. The diplomats kept busy with
us explaining we could not give
I France any favors not given to other
! countries, with this being so strong
j ly stated that France came down
jscme and agreed to wait while pend-
inS negotiations, but agreeing tnat
! until definite terms were reached, the
fold tariff rates should govern. Now
this was a concession that some
years ago would hardly have been
made. It well illustrates the tend-jmost
er.Cy of modern times to adjust
peacefully, rather than by unfriendly
'proceedings, what in the past might
'easily lead to an open rupture, if
ne t even worse. This episode proves
the value of judicious diplomacy, and
so far this has been in evidence on
both sides. Good judgment has been
used.
There is no question of the right
of every nation to impose a pro
tective tariff against the products
of other nations, but in this there
should be the same equality of treat
ment. Our tariff imposes the same
rates against one country as against
another, but if we give a favored na-
i tion treatment to one it is obligatory
! on our part to give the same to an-
ments may be made not exactly in
accord with the facts. We do not
know how it is with foreign coun
tries as to how they operate in spec
ial cases, but presume there must
be some understanding or there
would be trouble all around.
1 fr t a. lU i . s- i - Vin
I have gone by . our protective rates
, have sensibly lowered and it must
be admitted the tendency is to get
nearer and nearer to the line of dif
ference that exists between costs here
' and costs abroad. In short, every
; country must protect its own inter-
ests

Because every legit l-mate business

Because in so doing we encour
age our merchants to carry the large

Because statistics show that, di
rectly or indirectly, we lose a worth

GOOD ADVICE
In hi3 Thanksgiving proclamation
Gov. Smith, of New York, advised
the people "to pray for wisdom in
using the gifts of Providence," and
that is the best Thanksgiving ad
vice for a long time. It is easy in
thi3 prosperous country to acquire
weath, not so easy to use it wisely,
for the good of others, and the good
of your soul Arthur Brishbane.
Most state" executives offer more t
or less good advice in their annual I
proclamations, but so far this year '
none better than Gov. Smith's sug
gestions appear on the surface any
where. :o:

GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS
President Coolidge has again
frowned upon the practice of govern
ment engaging in business. Through
a White House spokesman, he has in
formed the country that the govern
ment should withdraw from such
ventures as soon as possible.
Excellent. That is, in sentiment.
But before we present the President
with too many bouquets for these
commendable old-fashioned senti
ments, we had better consider just
what sort of government activity
provoked his condemnation.
Was it, for instance, the Shipping
Board, that famous white elephant of
our l-ederai estaDiisnnient, mai re
markable affair which seems able to
gobble up all the appropriations an
indulgent Congress grants it, and
still show a handsome deficit?
Or was it, to name another case.
the Cape Cod Canal, that notorious
dead horse, which lost so much
money for private parties that the
last Congress kindly purchased it at
a fancy ngure, ana so assurea mai
its future deficits should come out of
the public purse?
Nay! Ift is neither of these ex
pensive projects which has provoked
the President to this condemnation
of government in business. What is
it, then, do you ask? Ah, here is the
rub! It is the Mississippi barge line
and Western irrigation projects. In
other words, the government should
net engage in business that is likely
to be of benefit to any section except
that little seaboard strip which fur
nishes republican slush funds and
blesses the country with high tar
iffs. Perhaps we should thank Presi
dent Coolidge for enlightening us in
this matter. But after the behavior
of the Administration in the Missis-
sippi fiocd disaster, his notion about
government in business is anything
but news.

TEST IS COMING
This country is suffering from the
vices which go with opulence. It is
charitable in a money sense, but it
is not charitable in the sense of self
denial an dself-sacrifice.
Wives and husbands are learning
how to give up less and less for the
sake of permanent marriages. Not
only that, but they are learning how
to live in childlessness for the sake
of physical pleasure.
Much of our crime wave is attrib
uttable to this changed attitude, and
we represent no exception in this
respect.
It has been the misfortune of the
people to grow prudish and vicious
as they grow rich.
One hopes that human intelligence
will some day overcome the obvious :
handicaps of prosperity. Thus far, !
human history reveals wealth and
luxury as signals of decay. It re-.
mains to be seen whether 20th cen- j
tury civilization is superior 10 mai
of Rome, or Louis XIV, in resisting
the demoralizing effects of ease and
refinement.
-:o:-
The experience in this country is
that under average conditions the
work of removing snow and keeping
the roads open is not as costly as
some opponents of the service have
claimed. It can be done and is be
ing done at comparatively small ex
pense. To spend money to keep the
highways clear in winter is good
business and economy in the end.
