Coolidge The
 New Eng|ander

Calvin Coolidge has now the respect of a great number of Americans as sort of symbol of the New England spirit.
 ! He lives almost austerely. He moves slowly, deliberately as a man always conscious of his steps. Physically. he is without grace, but spiritually he has the grace of one whose dignity is a cloak never discarded. whose manner is inherited from con- temporaneous with Charles Francis Adams. whose words show ..training from childhood texts from the St. James version of the Scriptures. Calvin Cool. idge. you feel, might have preached the gospel in one of he white, severe churches under. the shadow of Holyoke if he had not followed the law, or in the old days wonld have worn a top hat on the quarter deck of China trader. He is New Eng. land of Faneuil hall. New Eng land of that self-contained. self disciplined kind that at once guarded it's pennies and threw fortune away for principal. Of his college days Coolidge once remarked: II tended to educating my head. rather than my legs."
 Not long ago he said. We need more of the office desk and less of the window in politics" His father told of him. When Cal win was a boy on the farm. if l were going away and there was anything that wanted him to do 1 would tell him: but when l came back 1 never thought 0. going to see if he had done it l knew it was done." When re- elected president of the state senate he confined his speech to, Honorable Senators: My sin cerest thanks 1 offer you. Con- serve the firm foundations of our institutions. Do your work with the spirit of soldier in the pub lie service. Be loyal to the com monwealth and to yourselves. And be brief, above all things be brief"
 The hard common sense of the man. his gift at reducing lan- guage to bare essentials. ;are ill- ustrated by this expect we take from another speech to the Massachusetts senate: Do the days work. If it be to protect the rights of the weak. whoever objects kDo 1t. If it be to help.a powerful corporation better to serve the people. whatever the opposition. do that. Expect to be called a standpatter. but don't be a standpatter. Expect to be called a demagogue. but don't be demagogue. Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don't hesitate to be as reaction. ary as multiplication table Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong Don't hurry to legislate. Give administration a chance to catch up with legislation"
 The Campaign will contain perhaps more than the usnal amount of buncombe-the season inviting it. But there will be no buncombe or rant or fanciful- ness or window oratory from Coolidge. The stuff isen't in him.

CoAL STRIKE SERIOUS.

(By International News Service. ,

Mexico. City, Mex, Nov. 1.-Fail- ure to settle the coal miners strike and clashes between workers and employ CTS in various parts of Mexico indicate that the government is not meeting with it's usual success in handling in dustrial disputes.
 Until recently the government was remarkably successful in preventing trouble. Then came the mners' strike. While efforts were being made to set- tie this the stevedores at Vera Cruz walked out and there were strikers in a number of other cities
 It is said that at present there are 75, ,000 Mexican workmen on strike, with the prospect that the number will be greatly augmented.
 There is talk of a general strike, but this has been threatened at inter- vais for months by radical organiza- tions.
 The coal miners strike has forced some industries to close and may soon tie up railroads in the northern part of the state
 The stevedores' strike has stopped traffic at Vera Cruz.

Ml[LERAND IS
 MAN OF ACTION
New President of France is Tireless Worker Who Spends Long Hours at His Desk---But Physicians
 Insisted on Some Rest.
By NEWTON C. PARKE. International News Service Staff
 CorreSpondent.

Paris, Oct. 30.--One of the hardest workers in the world had to join the Saturday half holiday crowd when Alexander Millerand retired as Prime Minister of France to become it's presi- dent.
 President Millerand's physicians pointed out that he could not risk his health, as ex-president Deschanel had done. by continuing to strain himself. After some insistence, the new presi- dent, who as premier worked from 8 a. m, to p. m, six and sometimes seven day a week agreed to rest or Saturday afternoon. Most of the im- portant cabinet ministers are follow ing his examples and closing their of flee at noon.
 The new president had to make an other concessoin in taking over his new job. For years it had been his custom to take nothing at noon but a cup of tea Now he has let himself in for a regular round of many coursed luncheons at the Elysee Pal ace.
 
 Since his election he has had one steady round of visitors. No one of them remained more than fifteen min utes, excepting in very few rare in- stances. President Millerand believes that fifteen minutes is enough to cov- CT any mans tale of woe. He makes decisions quickly, carries nothing over until the next day, and if he wants a record of an interview with visitor makes it himself on a pad of note paper.
 The new president takes few motor rides. He has a large limousine at his disposal, but he loves to walk, trailed only by two secret service men and he has been infrequently en- countered in the crowds on the Champs Elysees or along the River Seine. At the aviation field at Bour- get he also has at his disposal a presidential airplane the F-50, but thus far he has never used it.

 Paris. Oct 2S.-Kign Rama VI, of Siam, wants to get married and is looking for French English or American girl to become his queen, according to Siamese officers in Paris.
 Rama is forty years old and has never been married, an astonishing fact in his kingdom. Not one of his ancestors over a period of 2,500 years ever lived to such a ripe age without leading several wives to the altar For instance, it is told that when King Chulalongkorn died 800 of his wives attended the funeral ceremony.
 But Rama VI. was educated at Heidelberg and at Paris and has more modern ideas. His father had re- served for him 425 of the prettiest girls, in Siam and presented them to him on his return from European uni versailles. but Rama announced that he only wanted one wife and that one must be someone he really loved. For eighteen years he has been waiting for cupid to come on out to Siam and now he is thinking of taking 2 trip himself.

MEXICO NOW FEARS
 RELIGIOUS STRIFE
Feeling Is Aroused Over Proposed Protestant Campaigns Backed by Thousands of Dollars--Much
 Uneasiness Felt.
By L. P. Kirby. International News Service Staff fnrrarunn1anf


 Mexico City, Mex. Oct. 31.--Relig- ssus turmoil has taken the place of revolutionary unrest in Mexico. Fear is expressed that this turmoil may assume alaTming proportions.
 The cause of the trouble is reports from She United States that Protes- kant organizations are preparing to spend millions in an effort to make Mexico . Protestant country. These reports have caused uneasiness and excitement among the Catholic clergy anity Some of the bishops have sent worsl tn the priests in their diocese telling them to warn all Catholics to have nothing to do with Protestants- nok svesl buy at stores conducted by Protestant merchants.
 Big Protestant Campaign.
 Some of the Protestant ministers hexe have admitted they are about to embark upon a great campaign to wean Mexico from Catholicism. A Seventh Day Adventist representative announced that the Adventists have raised a fund of 100000 pesos or $i 100000, for vigorous campaign sn Mexico.
 The Young Mems Christian Asso- citation has become one of the targets of the Catholics who fear an attack anon the church. The Y. M. c. A. up s0 the present has been popular in MsxicO, particular in Mexico City, where it has a large building and has among its members and visitors some of the best of the young Mexicans. It has become a social and athletic cen tsr-
 Now the Knights of Columbus are preparing to build centers for young men, not only here but in many other parts of Mexico.
 Some of the archhishops and bish- ops of Mexico have joined in ths cam paign against the Y. M. c. A, known sn Mexico as the Asociacion Christians de Jovenes, and have warned all young Catholics not to join the organization
 As Mexico is still strongly Cath elsc country despite the governments action in taking title to all church property, 1t is feared that the re sigious controversy may take vio. lent turn in some sections in Mexico.
