O. Elmquist Psychological Moment “Do you mean to say that an old timer like you feels uneasy when called upon to make a political speech?” “Yes” admitted Senator Sorghum, “ though I wont say it’s exactly stage fright. You never run and tell when everything might have gone your way if you hadn’t happened to spring the wrong ---- or funny story.” It is the early edition that catches the hookworm. Column 2 COOLIDGE TO WOMEN VOTERS GOVENOR CONVEYS THAMKS FOR THE SUPPORT THEY HAVE GIVEN HIM GRATEFUL FOR THEIR FAITH In a message to Miss Laura Skinner the Vice Presidential Candidate Expresses His Feelings Concerning Women in Politics. Women voters, generally, will be interested to know the conscious appreciation of Governor Coolidge for the enthusiastic encouragement And support given his candidacy, which was successful in its aspiration. Governor Coolidge has not spoken the platitudinous effusion of a politician who attempts to say that which is pleasing to the ear and solacing to the mind; but has shown that his statesmanship is not an adulterated substance to magnetize votes in its self. To Miss Laura A skinner, member of the New York state executive Republican committee, chairman and director of speakers weekly forum, representing the entire body of women who in any way lent their influence, Governor Coolidge sent the following telegram; “So many people helped my cause that I have never been able adequately, to thank any of them. I do want to thank you especially, for all your loyal and helpful services. Were it not for the faith of people like you public service would lose its power in attracting what is best in our citizenship. Governor Coolidge sent a special Invitation to Miss Skinner to be present as his guest at the speech of acceptance. Miss Skinner is unable to attend because of her duties at the state convention at Saratoga, contemporaneous with the notification ceremony. For Representative Government We have before us a champion of diffused representative government as distinguished from one which is personal and tends to be dictatorial and autocratic. If Mr. Harding stood for no more than a determination to turn away from one-manisom. If his only issue were a protest against a deliberate effort to wreck constitutionalism, he would richly deserve success. Touching the special questions, Senator Harding is naturally tentative. He is not cocksure concerning matters where of no man can assert he is certain without indicting his intelligence or his sincerity. He does not widely promise. He would not have America stand aloof or shirk a single responsibility to world civilization, But his Internationalism has no savor of anti – nationalism. New York Tribune To Continue Broad – Minded Policy It was the duty of the candidate to insert in his speech unmistakable and definite assurances that he himself would stand unshaken on his own record and would follow as president, the wise patriotic and broad – minded policy which he so steadily supported as senator, And moreover, this is the only policy which, as Mr. Taft has argued so ably on a number of occasions can secure the ratification by America of the treaty of Versailles. Philadelphia Ledger Discharging Old Clerks Between Attorney General Palmer and Postmaster General Burleson, scores of elderly, faithful, efficient government employees with many a year of good work in them arbitrarily are being discharged when their retention is provided for by the new civil service pension and retirement law. The pitiful cause of these workers will be brought to the attention of congress. Worth Remembering The alliance between Great Britain and Japan, made July 13, 1911, has been renewed for one year. Notice that this alliance or treaty provides that “when the rights and interests of wither nation are in jeopardy both nations will communicate fully and frankly with each other and take common action.” Remember what the late Theodore Roosevelt said; “Uncle Sam’s only friend is Uncle Sam” The Opposite Party A Democrat convention is an organization of dissenters assembled to take the opposite view to what ever the Republican party indorses. Baltimore, American His Fellow Citizens Know Him A prophet is not without honor save in his own country, say the Scriptures, but if that be true the case of Senator Harding is the exception hat proves the rule. – Fairmont, (W. Va.) West Virginia Issue in a Nutshell Senator Johnson has stated the issue; It is as America tied up in an international straight – jacket almost wholly of foreign weaving. Concord (N. H.) Monitor Says “Nothing Startling Senator Harding says nothing startling- it is furthest from his desire to startle the country. His purpose is rather to soothe. He would calm those who are worried. To those who hear his words searching for challenges it will be an unexciting hunt. Boston Globe Harding’s Strength” The commanding strength of Senator Harding is that he is a modest earnest, yet intensely patriotic American citizen. Column 3 Miracle of Ingenuity The air turbine of L. T. Nedland, a North Dakota artisan Is less than one twentieth of an inch in diameter and weighs only one fifth of a gram troy. It has eight parts. The casing being of gold and the motor of steel. The motor which has six slots, has a diameter of 0.03 inch; the shaft . 0.007 inch. Mounted on a hollow pedestal the turbine is driven at a high rate of speed by a jet of compressed air entering at the bottom. This seems to be the tiniest of all motors, being smaller than the same maker’s electric motor and steam engine, each of which is reputed to be the smallest machine of the kind in the world. WAS TO BE MORE YELLING Safe to say That Father’s predictions Turned out to be Absolutely Correct The sweetly peaceful scene in the little sitting room was suddenly disturbed by a loud yell, and the honored guest sprang wildly from the chair into which he had just sunk, while the daughter of the house felt her face grow pale. She had had hopes from this visit. Alas poor girl were they to be blighted? But father took the matter- and his small son firmly in hand. With a graceful apology he removed the bent pin from the chair and the aforesaid small boy from the room. “Now, look here Charles,” he said sternly in the back yard, “why did you do it?” It, it was an experiment father!” faltered the laddie. “An experiment!” snorted father, “The only man who has visited your sister for years, and you go and drive him away!” “Well dad.” Explained the boy. “he advertises that he is a painless dentist an I wanted to find out if it was true, an it wasn’t. You should have heard him yell?” “Yes,” was the father’s grim comment. “And some one else is going to hear you yell now.” Heavy Traffic They seldom crowd the roads in northern Minnesota, but on our last tour when we headed into a tamarack swamp and had to take our top off because of the low hanging trees, we did feel a trifle uncertain about the route. “Do many cars travel this road?” we asked some children who happened along. “Oh, yes” came the proud reply “lots of em. One came last year and this year, an now you’re here too!” Statistics in the hands of a campaign orator are usually unreliable figures of speech. Column 4 A Friend in Need Mrs. Flatbush – Who is that man with the red nose you just bowed to? Mr. Flatbush – Oh, he’s a man I met out west. “He is certainly not a prohibitionist is he?” “Why I never had occasion to ask him dear” “But how did you happen to meet him?” “We;; we were traveling out of Milwaukee on the same train one night. He had a bottle and I discovered that I had a cork screw.” Yonkers Statesman Cuticure for Sore Hands Soak hands on retiring in the hot suds of Cuticure soap dry and rub in Cuticure Ointment, Remove surplus with tissue paper. This is only one of the things Cuticure will do if Soap Ointment and Talcum are used for all toilet purposes—Adv. Column 5 Earthquakes The Origin of earthquakes has been traced to two principal causes, the first of which is tectonic, and the second volcanic. The former refers to movements in the earth’s crust, know as faults, possibly caused by the shrinking of the interior of the earth by reason of cooling. Column 6 POET’S WORD GOOD ENOUGH Student Was Absolutely Satisfied Without the Necessity of Seeing any Proofs. A good story is going rounds of Princeton about Prof. Alfred Noyes, the English poet. Professor Noyes, it is well known. Likes to read his books aloud to his friends, and at Princeton, with so many young men under him he is usually able to gratify this liking to the full. The other day Professor Noyes said to a junior, who had called about an examination; “Wait a moment, Don’t go yet, I want to show you the proofs of my new book of poems.” But the junior made for the door frantically. “No, no” he said, “I don’t need proofs. Your word is enough for me professor.” Column 7
