T oday W v Hare If ith Us To day— Mr. Coolidpe, President. And. the Grand Cham pion. And Unreasonable “BUT' Curley. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. •— Chicago, Dec. 4.—First, a word shout unreasonable "Young Bill” Curley. He is the editor of the Chicago American. Born on the island of Manhattan, he is growing up with Chicago. It is well known that with one possible exception, he ,is the ablest evening newspaper edi tor in America. His very unrea sonableness proves his ability. "How’s the paper going?” “Oh, not satisfactorily,” said he. “We haven’t put it over yet.” “What do you mean you haven’t put it over?” “Well, the figures for last month show that, the Daily News had 401, 000 circulation, and our paper, the .Chicago American, liad 470,000, only 69,000 ahead of the News. When we have 500.00(1 circulation, and a clear load of 100,000 ahead ^ of the Daily News, I shall consider that we have made a start.” When you consider, reader, that the Daily News sells at 2 cents a copy, and “Young Bill” Curley’s Chicago American at 3 cents a copy, you realize that eternal dis satisfaction is the mainspring of success. President Coolidge has spent this day in Chicago, working hard. -Newspapers, laying out his day, in serted numerous items euch as “Drake Hotel, 9 to 12. resting.” And “Stock Yards Inn, 5 to 6, resting." The “resting” consisted in shak ing hands with long lines of com mittees. “Male and female cre ated he them,” like the animals in the ark. They wanted to see the president and tell him that they liked his speech saying that the United States should manage its own af fairs without the help of F.urope. They wanted to brag about the big plurality, 881,116, that Illinois gave him. Coolidge was glad to see them. And, having seen them, he knew how to move them along that he might have time to see the next lot. The speeches that President Cool idge during the day made you will find in other columns. Being president isn’t all beer and skittles. In fact, in Coolidge's ! case, there is no beer, anti there jure no skittles. Today he worked hard from his arrival at 9:15 in the morning to '> :45 at night, when he left for Washington with 20-odd photog ! raphe rs shooting off flashlights in | his face, incidentally not c ausing him to change his expression. The most interesting thing to this reporter, who saw and talked with Coolidge for the first time at the Drake Hotel this morning, is the impression that, his high sloping forehead and his general manner make upon the observer. You feel that when he is refusing to talk, as he refused in the last campaign, there is a good deal going on back of that forehead. And he has a kind heart. IIis first words in quired concerning the health of a boy, recently dangerously ill, son of a friend of his, in the west. Time will locate President Cool idge’s place in history. He is one of our few thin presidents. Ex cepting Woodrow Wilson, he is the only thin president we hgve had for a long while. We seemed to have lost the lean Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln type. Whatever history may decide concerning him, the people that elected him, with 7,000,000 votes to spare, may rely upon it that they have in their service a man really anxious to set a good example, to earn public approval and leave a good name. Chicago approves his coming here on an ordinary train in an ordinary Pullman, no special car—although government appropriation would have paid for a special car. He has been preaching economy 7 Attractive Gift Prices Handkerchiefs ...,19c to 59c Fancy Garters . . ,75c to 1.25 Hoad Bands.1.25 to 2.00 Fancy Tiaras ... 1.25 to 3.25 F. W.

He ate the regular $1.25 dinner on the train with the other pttssen eers. Chicago likes that. They 'are democratic in this city. The president came to see the International Live Stork exposition. That interests him. He says it shows what the farmprs are doing, as the light in the electric hulb in the Drake hotel shows the hard work that men are doing in a big power plant far away. President Coolidge knows* the life of the farmers. lie has seen his own father wading out through barnyard mud in the morning, long before sunrise, in the New Eng land winter cold, wind, rain and snow, to look after the stock. Farmers that helped to elect him can rely on it that he will be useful to them if he can find a way to do it. The president saw a good deal of Chicago, wonderful city, on his way to the stock yards from the North Side, where money lives, all along Michigan avenue, out through the regions where hard work* lives. All the streets were lined with peo ple cheering him. Sometimes, for blocks at a time, the sidewalks were covered with colored men and wo men; they cheered ai d President I ' Cool id ire’s smile was the -sum* for I .ill different crowds. At the livestock show the pres ident made the acquaintance of the grand champion steer for 1924. The grand champion, up to his knee* in straw, wa* a wonderfully and pitifully perfect little Here ford. He was born on the .Id of last January, and will he knocked on the head and eaten before the 1st of next January. He ha* been sold at $1.40 a pound. Only an 11-month-old baby, he weighs over 900 pounds, and comes from Editor Shaffer’s 19,000 acres, “Ken Caryl Ranch,” in Colorado. The father of the grand champion is Deacon Domino, Hi* mother's name is "Miss Perfection 139.” Big as he is, the 900-pound baby still has a nursing cow with him. She is a grade Holstein, giving n prodigious quantity milk, and lives off in an obscure stall in a corner. That's the fate of mothers and nurses. The Book-Cadillac Hotel in De troit, that bought the gland cham pion, bought hi* nursing cow also. She will go to Michigan with him, where he will be shown once more. Then he will leave his nursing row and appear in small pieces in the Book-Cadillac dining room. Such is life and glory among steers. It isn’t so much better among men. Men will eat him. Worm? cat u-. and take loo long about it. You lead President Uoolidge’s message, of course, and are aware that he has reversed the Woodrow Wilson theory. President Coolidge does not believe that the United States needs the guidance of for eign countries or should be made responsible for the troubles of for eign countries. The president does not think it necessary to ask permission of Japan or of any other country if we want to send our boats cruising in the Pacific ocean. He doesn’t claim that the Pacific ocean is an American lake, but he doesn’t ad mit that it is an Asiatic lake either. The average American citizen I talking to F’i'ident t olidge yes j I terdny would have got the impres Ision that there is a mnn at the head I of this government with rounder- j aide resnert for the Amerirnn wn lion and for the ability of the United States to take rare of itself {^©pyri^l’ * lt?4.)

Schools in Italy Italian children do not have the school advantages to be found in most modern European countries. Italy, you know, has been a republic-like country with a king who rules in name only since 1877. Much has been done since then to better school condi tions; laws were passed to make education free and compulsory between ages six and nine, but these laws have qot been enforced. In northern Italy there are bettter schools; nearly all the people taking advantage of them, but in the south fully three quarters of the people arc illiterate.
