Today The President's Sad Death. 7lie ISeiv President. Problems of 1924. Mr. Coolidf’e's Task. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ President Harding’s sudden death conies at a moment when the whole nation had been com forted by news of his improved condition and almost certain re covery. The first thought is one of sym pathy for 'the president’s widow, the devoted wife by whose side and with whose help he found life’s success and his happiness. Next comes thought of the na tional loss. President Harding was a typical, conscientious American citizen, devoted to his duty, anx ious for the public welfare and un selfish in seeking it. He goes to his grave with the respect and affection of the whole people. Those that opposed some of his policies will be first to recognize the sincerity of those policies, and the president’s single mindedness. 1 Mr. Coolidge, who succeeds President Harding as chief magis trate, is known to the nation as a soundly conservative man. He is best known, nationally, through his handling, as governor, of a policeman’s strike in Boston. The new president is credited with having shown courage, promptness and vigor on that oc casion, disposing without hesita tion of a menace that could not for a moment be tolerated. As between the so-called “right" of policemen to organize in a union and go on strike, and the right of the citizens to protection, Mr. Coolidge evidently did not hesitate. The quality that enabled him to act promptly and vigorously on ihat occasion, he will tind useful in the work that lies ahead in the White House. President Harding's death has cast into utter confusion all poli tical plans and predictions for the fluture, and for the contest of 1924. Had President Harding lived, there was no doubt or question as to his renomination. The only uncertainty dealt with the name and chances of the demo crat to be named against him, and of any possible independent, in cluding Henry Ford. Now, everything is completely changed. The republican conven tion, apparently, will be a free-for all struggle, with Mr. Coolidge, the new president, starting out with the advantage of the administra tion machine, which is powerful, and may be well put into good working order between now and the date of the convention, Conspicuous among those whose names suggest themselves for the republican nomination are Hiram Johnson, Senators Borah and I.a Follette. Those three the people know. Mr. Hoover and Medill McCor- j mick will also probably be includ ed among candidates, and there will be a great herd of dark horses, known and unknown to the public —chiefly unknown, although those dark horses do not suspect it. As regards the immediate course of the new administration, it is safe to predict that like the late Theodore Roosevelt, succeed ing McKinley, Mr. Coolidge will announce a determination to carry on his predecessor’s policies prac tically unchanged. It may be that Mr. Coolidge will find, as did Theodore Roosevelt, conditions make it necessary to modify that announcement. Mr. Coolidge has played a mod est, retiring part as vice president, attending to his duties in the sen ate, making little effort to pro nounce judgment or influence pub lic opinion on the oustanding na tional and international problems. The public is not well acquaint ed with his views, but will know 'more undoubtedly before many days shall have passed. The interesting question is whom will the republican party select as its candidate to succeed Mr. Coolidge? Available and able candidates can be found in President Hard ing’s administrative family. In Attorney General Daugherty the people would find a fighter who has made enemies enough to prove his strength. In Mr. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, the republicans and the people at large would fmd the man who understands, as well as any American living, the business, in dustrial and financial problems of the United States. Those problems make up 90 per cent of United States problems now. For the moment, interest is con centrated, naturally, on Mr. Cool idge, his character, purposes, and ability. The people know already that he has good qualities. His favorite motives being "do the day's work,” and "be brief.” That he himself knows how to he brief he proved when he was re-elected president of the Massa chusetts senate, and accepted the honor in a speech 42 words long. Farmers arc interested in the fact that, Mr. Coolidge, born on a farm, is the son of a Vermont farmer, described as stern, re ligious. known throughout Ver mont for his sagacity and strength of character. Mrf-. Coolidge graduated at Am heist. Already his former school teachers are relating anectodes of hi* boyhood. It seems he was never more than 2 or minute- ahead «>f lime, at school and never late. That seems to show balance. (Copyright 192") , American Legion Fun Festival W ill Close Saturday _____ i * Special Mights Mamed for Counties and Organizations —Whole Affair a Suc cess, Says Chairman.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 6.—Strikes, high-salaried officers, overtime and bonded indebtedness are worries the Ferdinand Railroad company does not have. But the company, declared to he the smallest independent railroad company In the United States, has other worries such as: "Suppose the locomotive should break down,” or "suppose the en gineer should get sick.” The company, which operate* a steam railroad from Ferdinand, Ind., to Hunttngburg, Ind.. a distance of 6.48 miles, has submitted a report to the Indiana public service commis sion showing a profitable s oar. It lias one locomotive, one combination pas senger and freight car, one engineer, one conductor, one fireman and one brakeman. Its operating revenue for 1322 was *23,63* 83; Its gross In comp. *6,825.71, and Its nei income, *1.115.71. kor economical operation the 1IU1 railroad can compete with any of the great systems of the country judg ing from its report. Such evidence of economy as this appear on the report: Salaries for geneal officers, including one gang foreman, one station agent and three section hands, $960; con ductor's salary, $906 50; engineer's salary, $906-50: brakeman * salary, $546 10, and fireman's salary, $602.GS. No overtime was paid during the year. The railroad owns it right-of-way. except in lluntlngburg, where it runs for nine tenths of a mile on track of the Southern railroad, paying $123 a month for trade rental and station facilities. Freight originating on the road is way-billed Jo lluntlngburg and rebilled to the Southern railroad. The road did a thriving passenger business In 1 922, the overage number of passengers per trip being while the seating capacity of the car is only 54. The reports of the Ferdinand rail road have not always shown a bal ance on the profit side. Jt was or ganized in 1903. under the name of the Ferdinand Railroad company, by a number of Ferdinand citizens who wished to give the town trnnsporiu tlon facilities In 1911 the bondhold ers bought the road af a receiver's sale and reorganized as the Ferdi nand Railroad company.
