HITLER TAKES THE WHEEL.
Adolph Hitler, the former Austrian
house painter, has become the head of
the German government. His ascen
dancy has not brought the crash in the
world’s securities markets which would
have been inevitable a year ago. Wall
Street took but a passing interest in
the affair and the following day on the
stock exchange was the quietest of the
year.
More than one reason has been as
signed for this. It is said that the
world has had so many shocks it can
now contemplate almost anything with
out getting excited. It is declared
that the Hitler bogey is not so fearful
as it was a year ago and that he will
be more conservative than was expect
ed, because of his acession to power.
Then the optimists assert that our
financial markets have steadied so
much during the year that they are
almost shock proof. Let us hope
there is at least a little truth in this
last contention.
Anyhow Hitler now has his chance
to demonstrate. He may become an
other Mussolini and then again he may
not. If he is successful he will get
the plandits of the world, and if he
fails he will soon be forgotten. He
will now find his roud much more
difficult than it has been heretofore.
As a leader of the minority he could
criticize without stunt and promise
everything. But now the time of
promising has passed and he must be
gin to perform. Can he make good
on the extravagant promises and satis
fy the people who have elevated him
to power? If so, all well and good; if
not he will have the sad experience of
many politicians who have gone on
before.
COOLIDGE COINED
MANY EPIGRAMS.
The following are a few of the epi
grams that studded the public utter
ances of Calvin Coolidge, as compiled
by the Associated Press:
We need a faith that is broad enough
to let the people make their own mis
takes. i
No great question has ever been
decided by the people of this nation
on the sole basis of dollars and cents.
When the times have called for a
good man someone has stood forth.
That state is most fortunate in its
form of government which has the
aptest instruments for the discovery of
laws.
Men do not make laws. They do
but discover them. Laws must be
justified by something more than the
will of the majority. They must rest
on the eternal foundation of righteous
ness.
Little progress can be made by
merely attempting to repress what is
evil; our great hops lies in develop
ing what is good.
The school is not an ending but only
the beginning of an education.
I sometimes wish that people would
put a little more emphasis upon the
observance of the law than they do
upon its enforcement.
i am a repuoncan, dui i ca on
that account shield any one ase
he is a republican. I am a rep .ican
but I cannot on that account prose
cute any one because he is a democrat.
Promises and good intentions are
not enough. We cannot afford rash
experiments.
I am all through looking for ideal
candidates for public office. They
don’t exist. We have to make the best
of what we have, for it is only in
that way we are able to make any
progress.
The resources of our country are
sufficient if we use them to help each
other.
There is only one form of political
strategy in which I have any confi
dence, and that is to try to do the
right thing.
I do not choose to run.
We draw our presidents from the
people. It is a wholesome thing for
them to return to the people. I came
from them. I wish to be one of them.
Traffic Policeman: Hey ,you! Did
n’t you hear me yelling for you to
stop?
Motor Fiend: Oh! was that you
yelling? I thought that was just
somebody I hand run over.
“So when you wus on yer holidays
where did you stop at?”
"Nothin’, dearie, notin.”

Abraham Lincoln
February 12, 1809 to April 14, 1865
UNFLINCHINGLY he kept the helm
while those he trusted best failed him.
Farseeing, looked beyond the issues of the
day; when others cried for conquest and sub
jection, he labored for the day that would
see North and South united again. His goal
achieved, he died on the threshold of his
glory. But the lessons he taught us guide us
today, and Abraham Lincoln belongs to all
mankind. He was one of the worlds immortals.
