A VICTORY
For Law and Order.

The reelection of Governor Calvin
Coolidge, of Massachusetts, Republi-
can, on Tuesday, in one of the great
est landslides in the history of the
state. is Of no small national impor-
lance.
Yesterday President Wilson took
the rnusual step. in a telegram to
Governor Coolidge, of congratulating
a Governor Of the opposite party on
his reelection. The Presidents tele-
gram reads
Il congratulate you upon your
election as victory for law and or
der. When that is the issue all Amer
leans stand together"
In reply Governor Coolidge said :
IL deeply appreciate your telegram
Of congratulation. trust the cleo
ton will MD in the upholding of the
laws of America in particular, and
strengthen the hand Of righteous
authority everywhere"
The fact that Governor Coolidge
was the leader in this victory for
law and order in Massachusetts I'M
questionably makes him national
figure, for the reason that there is
every evidence that the question of
law and order will be one of the is
sues of the next Presidential cam
paign.
Indeed there is already talk of the
possibility that the Governor will
figure prominently as a candidate for
the Presidency, or at least for the
Vice Presidency.

CHINESE IN
ARMY OF SALVATION

NEW YORK. July 13.-Yeh szu
Ling. of the Chou Shih chun, arrived
in New York the etterday.,
He is not a Chinese mandarin nor
Iother outlandish potentate. His real
name is Charles Henry Jetfries. The
foregoing strange procession of sounds
is the nesfest-the Chinese can get to
expressing his title Of commissioner
for China of the Salvation Army.
"Chiou Shin Chun" means, literally.
Save World Army" there being no
symbol in Chinese to translate our
word salvation" "Yeh" means
leaf OF tree"-Mr. Jefries is at a
loss to understand why they call him,
that-and 'iSzu Ling" is the Chinese
for commissioner.
Commissioner Jeffries is just back
after two years in China, during
which he has had the satisfaction of
enrolling 1000 native converts. His
labors have been almost entirely
among the poor.
Seated the other day in the Saliva
ton Army headquarters in New York,
Yeh Szu Ling told of his work for the
"Chiou Shih Chun.''
1t is just two and a half years
ago, ne SAID, that the Salvation
Army sent its pioneer band of officers
to China. There were forty in the
party. Their knowledge of Chinese
was nil but they had the spirit
which. among Salvationists, means
that they could plug along. meeting
disCoUra cement and Indifference, even
downright opposition, with a calm
assurance that some day all would
change TO respect"
