CALVIN COOLIDGE.
It is not surprising that on its first ballot
the Chicago convention turned bodily to Calvin
Coolidge of Massachusetts as its candidate for
vice president. His has been a life of loyalty
to sound priciples, backed by hard work. His
clear mind has always readily discerned the es
sence of things. "Duty," said he on one oc
casion, "is not collective; it is personal," and
thereby put a vital truth in pithy form, which
every man may take to himself to his own great
advantage.
His public life has been distinguished by con
stantly increasing evidences of the esteem of
the people, especially the farmers, for whom he
accomplished much in hie home state. Nor is
it surprising that the people generally have
given him strong support in view of an utter
ance made by him in 1914, as follows:
We need a broader, firmer, deeper faith in
the people. A faith that men desire to do
right, that the commonwealth is founded upon
a righteousness which will endure, a reconse
crated faith that the final approval of the peo
ple is given, not to demagogues, slavishly
pandering to the selfishness, merchandising
with the clamor of the hour, but to states
men, ministering to their welfare, representing
their deep, silent, abiding convictions.
The selection of Governor Coolidge was not
made to gratify the pride of New England, or
primarily to catch votes, but for the funda
mental reason that he is fitted by experience,
learning, love of the people, and righteous con
victions, to fill the office of president if it
should become necessary for him to do so in
the course of events.

Mary Had a Little Ride.
Malefactors of great wealth, profiteers seek
ing an outlet for surplus incomes, garage men
and other fortunate people whose purses have
become obese, will understand the reason for
excessive grand opera prices next season when
they have read the New York Evening Sun's
rythmic explanation of Mary Garden's trip
through France:
Mary had a little trip
10 mane irom gay raree,
And when the railroad strike came on
It left her up a tree.
An auto straightway she did take
And started for Marseilles;
Three tons of luggage followed on
In five trucks so they say.
The trip it cost six thousand bones.
In good American money,
So that's why opera seats will jump
In price next year, my honey.
Oh, dearl what can the matter be? Here's
the New York World crying that the republican
convention is "dead at the top." That is "it
has no leadership."

Gloomy Days in Washington.
No note of gladness issues from the White
House as a result of the republican convention.
No wonder. About everything hoped for in the
Executive Mansion failed to happen in Chicago.
There was no split on the platform, and no bolt
following the nomination; and the ticket itself
robs the master of the democratic party of
what he expected would be his most potent
campaign material.
Instead of rent with internal dissensions and
bitter animosities, W. W. sees the Grand Old
Party united in one harmonious, puissant, cheer
ing army of patriots who "intend to move on
his works immediately," and fight it out on the
lines of Americanism laid down in its platform
until election night brings the inevitable victory.

Does it? In our convivial days we sang a
different version, in which a thick, rotund keg
took the place of the well, and an amber brew
of from 4 to 8 per cent that foamed when let
loose, and caused a cold sweat to stand out from
the mug, took the place of water. However, it
is better not to think of such things in these
latter days.
A school principal in New York, who was
charged with having kissed and fondled a pretty
13-year-old girl pupil, was found not guilty.
Hands off is the only safe rule for male teach

something else again.
Sir Thomas Lipton, over here to "lift the
cup" with his yacht, is able to stand the financial
strain. His great tea business, Lipton, Ltd.,
made net profits of more than $2,000,000 the past

steadily for the past five years from $620,000

His Fond Farewell.
A Frenchman, guest at a London hotel, had
just been presented with his billj Though he
paid it without formal protest, he was most in
dignant at its amount.
"I vish to see ze proprietor 1" he exclaimed
to the clerk.
In a moment the proprietor entered.
The Frenchman was all smiles.
"Ahl" he exlaimed, "I must embrace you!"
"But why should you wish to embrace me,
sir?" asked the astonished hotelkeeper. "I do
not understand."

"Yes, your receipted bill. What of it?"

An Honest Nomination.
A convention, as freely deliberative as a
great political assembly can be, a convention, )
numDering Dosses, Dut as nearly unoossea as a
party organization has ever been, a convention
without a steam roller and as free to express
its own judgment and what it honestly consid
ered the true will of the party and the best inter
ests of the country has nominated as republican
candidate for the presidency Warren G. Hard
ing, senator from Ohio.
The candidate is a foursquare American, who
has worked his way up from the humblest be
ginnings to the high position from which he
is, we believe, to be called to the highest office
in the land. His character is unblemished and
he has proved himself in private and public life
worthy of unhesitant confidence. His experi
ence is many sided, as that of a chief executive
of our government must be if he is to fulfill his
complicated and heavy duties with judgment
tested by real knowledge of affairs. As a journal
ist of attainment, as a successful business man,
as a lawyer, and as a public man who has proved
his worth, both as a state executive and as an
influential member of the national senate, the
party may well claim for him from American
voters the heavy responsibility of the presi
dency. As president, Mr. Harding will bring to
fovernment firmness and breadth. Chicago

Due for a Long, Long Sleep.
After its life's fitful fever, democratic con
trol of the country will sleep well. As the old
hymn says, "We never miss the music 'til the
sweet-voiced bird has flown." The country was
never so hungry for the melody of republican
policies as it is today. Amid the grand sym
phonic chorus of republican efficiency there have
been a couple of plaintive interludes of demo
cratic administration. Such was the emergence
of Cleveland from somewhere to occupy the
White House. Such was the rising of Wood
row Wilson from the bench of the pedagogue
to the presidency. The interludes of democratic
administration have been strictly in accordance
with the law of contrast The scientists recite
the well-known fact that without the thunder
storm the sunny skies of June would not be ap
preciated. So, without 'an occasional adminis
tration of the country by the democrats the
people would not have the foil against which to
place in grateful contrast the administration
given by the republicans. Baltimore- American.
"YOU know, of course, that I am not a can
didate," says Mr. McAdoo. Well, we do not j
know it from any reasoned process, but we have
intuitions; and one of these intuitions, welling
up from the sub-conscious, is that Mr. McAdoo
is not a candidate.
WE were about to offer a magnum of dande

THE Century Die. defines the noun 'intel
lectual' as a person having a capacity for the
higher forms of knowledge. It is no longer used
in that sense. An intellectual of this day is a
person holding radical ideas. Thus Morris Hill
quitt is an intellectual, while Mr. Balfour is a
mossback. When Anatole France advocated
socialism he was an intellectual; but when he
wrote The Garden of Epicurus he was some
thing else again.

DELrSIOX.
(Jonathan Swift, "Tale of a Tub.")
In the proportion that credulity is a more
peaceful possession of the mind than curiosity,
so far preferable is that wisdom which con
verses about the surface, to that pretended phil
osophy which enters into the depths of things,
and then comes gravely back, with informations
and discoveries, that in the inside they are good
for nothing. The two senses, to which all ob
jects first address themselves, are the sight and
the touch; these never examine farther than the
colour, the shape, the size, and whatever quali
ties dwell or are drawn by art upon the outward
of bodies; and then comes reason officiously with
tools for cutting, and opening, and mangling,
and piercing; offering to demonstrate that they
are not of the same consistency quite through.
Now I take all this to be the last degree of per
verting nature; one of whose eternal laws it is,
to put the best furniture forward. And there
fore, in order to save the charges of all such ex
pensive anatomy for the time to come, I do
here think fit to inform the reader, that in such
conclusions as these, reason is certainly in the
right; and that in most corporeal beings which
have fallen under my cognizance, the outside
hath been infinitely preferable to the in; where
of I have been further convinced from some late
experiments. Last week I saw a woman flayed
and you will hardly believe how much it altered
her person for the worse.

GOITER AID TO ENERGY?
This story was told me by a physi
cian who sees few cases of goiter
in fact, dies not calculate to see
any. A rather ordinary woman
married a rather ordinary man.
They had several average children.
The husband and father was an ac
countant making a fairly good liv
ing for his family. When he went
home from his work in the after
noon he always found his wife and
children about the house preparing
the evening meal. After dinner the
wOman attended to the dishes., fixed
the beds, and then sat quietly in the
family circle reading or talking un
til bedtime came the ordinary,
everyday routine.
Then the wife and mother devel
oped a moderate sized goiter and
things began to happen. She became
lestless, energetic and ambitious.
No longer was she happy when
quietly sitting at the family fireside.
About that time movie picture
houses began to spring up. She
tapped the family strong box of its
little -savings account against a
ra'ny day, borrowed some to put
with it, and opened a movie house.
Sho restlessly went to other shows,
picked out her attractions, and then
watched over the front of the house
herself. The public taste began to
demand finer houses and a more
elaborate outlay. She plunged as
recklessly as a darky shooting craps.
Other ventures were offered her.
She went into them with a restless
enthusiasm. Sometimes she lost,
sometimes she won. She is now liv
ing in California with a competence
sufficient to maintain the family in
comfort.
Whence came her drive, pep, en
thusiasm, ambition, courage, nerve,
daring? Nothing in her earlier life
had given any indication that she
possessed any of these qualities. The
rhysieian friend had an answer. It
was her goiter. People with too lit
tle thyroid are slow mentally and
physically, and without ambition.
People with too much thyroid are
quick, nervous and restless.
This little woman was content to
be a quiet housewife until she de
veloped goiter. With her Loiter came
energy, restlessness, discontent and
alj of the other new qualities al
ready alluded to. She plunged
often without judgment, but always
with vim and energy. She some
times lost. In fact, if she had not
happened on a coming business Just
at the opportune moment, she might
have lost more than she made, for
her judgment was often faulty. But,
as it is, she is fairly well fixed finan
cially. Her disease has made her thin,
nervous and a poor sleeper, but she
is now at an age where the tendency
is for small thyroid excesses to de
crease. She may become quieter,
better poised, a better sleeper, and,
if so, she will gain weight

them as beauty spots and capitalize
them as such.

The ordinary brushing does not
do away with the necessity of hav

by a dentist or a dental hygienist
once a year. Many employers have
their employes' teeth cleaned and

means of preventing neuralgia,

In some hoscitals every patient able
