I :: . ;: COOLIDGE WANTS TO KNOW President Coolidge has stat ed that he does not “choose to run in 1928.” It is a very guarded statement. Many claim to see in it a positive dec lination to be a candidate next year. His words do not imply this. They mean nothing more than if he had his choice he would prefer not to run in 1928. Those who see in his statement a positive declina tion are placing a construction upon his words which they will not bear. As we see it, it is an adroit appeal to the country for the express purpose of ascertain ing the sentiment of the people and particularly of the Repub lican party. It will be interest ing to note the reaction. If the sentiment be strong for Calvin Coolidge, and our belief is that it will be, then of course he will run, even though his choice might be to return to private life. Calvin Coolidge is a cool headed, far-sighted, shrewd Yankee, who knows thorough ly the English language and who carefully weighs his words and when he says “I do not choose to run in 1928,” he knew exactly what he meant and meant what he said. Un til he enlarges upon this terse statement and makes it more definite and unequivocal the conclusion that he will not run in 1928 is premature. Coolidge wants to know. “Do tell; I want to know.” CHIEF DINEEN RETIRED The retirement of Fire Chief Martin Dineen will be regret ted by many friends, among whom is the editor of The Mon itor. Martin Dineen has left a record of faithful service as | a firefighter of which any man may well be proud. For 36 years he has responded to the call of duty. As fireman in the ranks, battalion chief, assis tant chief and chief he has rendered this city faithful ser vice. Fearless in the line of duty he has frequently risked his life, suffering serious injur ies on no less than four occa sions. A fearless and faithful fireman and a genial, kind hearted gentleman withal, Martin Dineen can look back upon an enviable record and rejoice in a sense of duty well performed and the esteem and affection of the friends he has made. HOLD YOUR TEMPER ________ Frequently, all too frequent ly, for the custom seems to be growing and must be checked that self-respecting, well-dress ed and well-behaved Negro cit izens are being subjected to humi bating embarrassment and discrimination in moat un looked for places. We are glad that so many have shown admirable self-restraint under these exasperating circum stances. It is indicative of strength of character to hold one’s temper under such con ditions and it will work to our advantage in the long run. Our method of procedure un der such circumstances is not that of either physical force or boisterous and threatening words. It should be the invok ing of the law wherever it ap plies, and whenever necessary, and the boycott when and where the law does not apply. Hold your temper. “He that ruleth his temper, is better than he that taketh a city.” NEGRO WORKMEN BRAVELY RISK LIVES TO RESCUE THEIR WHITE COMRADES Nashville, Tenn.—Wesley Patter son, fireman at the Neuoff packing plant, and Will Smith, helper, risked their lives to save two white fellow employees recently when the pre heating apparatus of a smoke con sumer exploded in the engine room. The explosion knocked Robert Weaver, white head engineer, and Ed Diggers, white mechanic, to the floor, and their clothing caught fire. The colored workers, who were standing nearby, miraculously es caped injury and rushed to the aid of their fellow workers. They were burned about the face and hands in carrying the men out of the blazing room. ALABAMA SENATE KILLS ANTI-MOB MEASURE Montgomery, Ala.— (Special)—In the face of an epidemic of hooded floggings that has aroused the whole state, the Alabama senate refused by a 16 to 13 vote to unmask the Ku Klux Klan. The Williams anti mask bill was sidetracked and in its place the Ware bill, drawn in the office of Attorney General Charlie C. McCall, was substituted. i i i * Qrtafclisfccd i*»)o»''“—^ 5! f 5 £ August Sales Bring Savings on :■ \ MEN’S FURNISHINGS f > Collar Attached Shirts ... \ £ Plain broadcloths and patterned madras and fine *1 f percales.
