-:o:
THE LATEST COOLIDGE QUIP.
Mr. Coolidge's latest witicism is
the talk of Washington. It occurred,
at a White House breakfast. Vice
President Dawes had been chaffing
Senator Watson of Indiana for ap
pearing in a Prince Albert coat and
a straw hat. The Hoosier statesman
was wincing under the badinage
when suddenly, the president cut in:
"Well it's just as proper to wear
a straw hat with a Prince Albert as
it is to smoke a pipe when you're
wearing a Prince Albert.'
A momentary silence, then gales of
laughter that shook the District of
Columbia. The erstwhile em
barrassed Watson beamed, while the
bantering Dawes flushed and uneasy,
probed around for a crushing re
Joinder, reconsidered and wisely re
frained. But where is the sparkling humor
in this Coolidge repartee? you may
ask.
Why, there's nothing funnier in
Tolstoy, Dostoversky or the Consti
tution of Oklahoma.
POWDER
AL SMITH'S CREED
On the eve of the Democratic con
vention there are thousands of per
sons, well-meaning, perhaps, but sad
ly misguided, engaged in denounc
ing Governor Al Smith as a presi
dential possibility when they do not
know a blessed thing about the New
York executive, or the things for
which he stands. They know only
that he is a Catholic, that he did
not favor the eighteenth amendment,
and that seems to be about the limit
of their knowledge.
In all fairness, we submit it is
not a crime to be a Catholic, neither
is it a violation of any statute to
hold the belief that prohibition is a
mistake.
These critics, however, do not seem
to know just what kind of a Catholic
Governor Smith is, nor have thty
ever heard the real reason why he
does not believe in the eighteenth
amendment.
There are good Catholics and there
are poor Catholics, just as there are
good Protestants and poor Protest
ants. There are broad-minded Pro
testants and narrow Catholics, just
as there are broad-minded Protest
ants and narrow Protestants. In both
creeds you will fine a very large
number of weak, inefficient, and
nominal members. And pastor or
priest will verify this statement.
Governor Al Smith, to our way of
thinking, is a Cahtolie very much
after the type of the late Charles P.
J. Mooney, editor of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal a man true to
his faith, yet broad and tolerant in
his views, and friendly to all relig
ious faiths.
But apropos of Governor Al Smith's
religious and political creed, it is
best to let him speak for himself,
and he speaks in such a frank and
straight-forward manner that none
can doubt his sincerity. Here is
what he ha3 to say on the subject:
"I believe in the worship of God
according to the faith and practice of
the Roman Catholic Church. I re
cognize no power in the institutions
of my church to interfere with the
operations of the constitution of the
United States or the enforcement of
the law of the land.
"I believe in absolute freedom of
conscience for ell men, and equality
of all churches, all sects, and all be
lifes before the law as a matter of
right, and not as a matter of favor.
"I believe in the absolute sepa
ration of church an state and in the
strict enforcement of the provisions
of the constitution, that Congress
shall pass no law respecting an es
tablisliment of religion or prohibit
ing the free exercise thereof.
I believe that no tribunal of any
church has any power to make any
decree of any force in the law of the
land other than to establish the
status of its own communicants with
in its own church.
"I believe in the support of the
public school as one of the corner
stones of American liberty. I believe
in the right of every parent to choose
whether his child shall be educated
by those of his own faith.
"I believe in the principle of. non
interference by this country in the
international affairs of other nations.
and that we should stand steadfastly
against any such interference by
whomsoever it may be urged.
"And I believe in the common
brotherhood of man under the com
mon fatherhood of God.
"In this spirit I join with fellow
Americans of all creeds in a fervent
prayer that never again in this land
will any public servant be challenged
because of the faith in which he has
tried to walk humbly with his God."
"I believe in the strict enforce
ment of the provisions of the con
stitution," says the man who is des
tined to head the Democratic ticket
this year.
That ought to be sufficient assur
ance for any sincere prohibitionist,
for no man has ever accused Gover
nor Smith of being a liar, a deceiver
or a demagogue.
"I believe in the common broth
erhood of man under the common
fatherhood of God," says the New
York executive.
And that's enough religion for
any man.
:o:
The farmers need aid, mere is no
question about that, but will a march
upon the convention at Kansas City
get it for them. " The east will con
trol that convention. The farmers
will get more sympathy from the
Democratic convention than the re
publican. :o:
One thing about a jury it's about
the only proof we have left that
there still is sympathy and admir
ation for the truly beautiful things
of life.

MIGHT EASILY EEEN DEATH
It was about half past ten in the
evening and an auto was coming
south on College avenue at a moder
ate rate of speed. Some drivers would
have been hustling along at about
30 miles an hour as there was prac
tically no traffic.
Suddenly without the least warn
ing a little boy dashed out from the
sidewalk on the west side of the
street and headed for the Red Cross
drug store on the opposite corner.
A woman and child had preceded
the little fellow a couple of moments
before, but they had reached the cor
ner several seconds before the strag
fler started his dash across the
thoroughfare.
The driver of the aforementioned
car luckily happened to see the boy
rush into the street and brought
his auto to a stop before any acci
dent could happen. But the situ
ation had all the possibilities of a
fatality. If the car had been going
very much faster, or if the boy had
darted out about ten feet further to
the north, he would have surely
been run over.
The terrible aspect about the
whole affair was that any mother
could start across the street at that
time of the night, realizing that one
of her children had to cross alone;
evidently she hadn't a thought of
any harm coming to him. We hope
that she leads this editorial, because
in our opinion, she was criminally
careless, and never should have left
the child to cross a street at that
time of the night.
Would any driver expect a little
child to emerge out of the darkness,
100 feet from ,the street crossing?
Imagine your own feelings in avert
ing an accident, and then svm? the
mother and another child calmly
walking away.
:o;
Nine hundred persons are suing
for slices of the estate founded by
John Jacob Astor. A man of humble
origin, he passed away in 1S4 8, and
since then his estate seems to have
been putting on Heirs.

A new method of treating rub
ber makes it last thirty-five years.
We are wondering whether it's to be
applied to tires or steaks.
