COVE COMMENTS

Cove is some progressive little
Burg, with its spacious new dock
and approach, with stout hand
rail painted white; two slipways
and plenty Of room for the autos
and rigs to navigate. Then, our
storekeeper, Petersen is not be-
hind hand with AN electrically
driven chain catch, and the feed,
etc. goes straight Chat word,
spelt that way looks anything but
strait, and prefer the latter into
the warehouse. Mr.. 'Pctersep is "a
progressive merchant and as nice
a man to do business with as you
could find anywhere and | know
that he will not feel too swelled
up when he reads this, that is not
his style. Revenons a nos Montons
as the French say, that is, back
to the subject-when the Cove
hill matches the dock we will feel
quite satisfied, at any rate for a
time-yes, for long time.
What is the difference between
My Lady and Julia O'Grady2 All
same when born but the difference
commences right then. With ell
egant surroundings for My Lady
followed by careful bringing up,
to the point of a finished educa-
ton in etiquette, department and
manners. While Julia s surround
ings are, as a rule, not very chic,
and usually manners and etiquette
are lacking in part. The differ
ence is partly due, but not alto
gether, to a lack of wealth which
gives My Lady the advantage.
Nevertheless, there is nothing to
prevent Julia being little lady
if the home surroundings are what
they should be. Wealthy folks
are terribly afraid that the com
mon folks desire to pull them
down to their level, but really all
that is desired is to remove the
special privilege of the one class
by a more even distribution of
wealth whereby the socalled com
mon folks could get away from
the ceasless grind and so have
time and means to elevate them
selves to the desirable things Of
life, which, when acquired, would
enable them to enjoy the society
of educated people without en-
barrasSment
International labor has declared
for a six hour day. Impossible
the work of the world could not
be done in that time, so some ex-
claim. Why not ? The same was
said when an eight hour day was
advocated, but it came to pass,
and thirty-fve years ago, when
dry goods clerks were working 10
to u hours, and IA hours on Sat
Iurdays. Anyone at that time who
predicted that they would only
work s hours later on would have
been deemed crazy. Even with
the s hour day in force now there
are not enough jobs to go around,
plain proofs that the s hour day
is too long, and how about the
farmer9 is he always going to
work all the hours of daylight,
with a few of the night hours
thrown in for good measure?
Sure he will, just as long as he
is contented to farm under the
present conditions. But the change
will come sooner or later, when
individual effort gives place to
collective cooperation and the
price of produce is set at the labor
cost. Even now the casual farm
laborer will not work more than
the 8 hours, and Tho amongst us

America as they knew and loved her
never was and never can be isolated
from the great human interests of
the world"
Discussing the refusal of the United
States senate to ratify the peace
treaty with the covenant of the
League of Nations as submitted by
the president, Gov. Coolidge said:
"In general the objection was the
reluctance to incur either legal or
moral obligations binding our govern.
ment to act in accordance with de-
cisions not made by itself. 1t was
the desire to retain unimpaired the
traditional policies, like the Monroe
Doctrine, and the independence OF
action Of America"
Never Opposed Principle of League
Discussing reservations adopted in
the senate, he said that the president
had rejected them and that Gov. Cox
had announced that he favored ego
ing in" The republican party, on the
contrary, he added, by its history, by
the record of its senators who twice
voted to ratify the league with reser.
vations," by the declaration of its
platform approving the conduct of its
senators, and by the statement OF
Senator Harding, was not opposed to
the principle of the League of Ma.
tions.
He contended that when Senator
Harding, in discussing on August 2S
the league and the Hague tribunal
said he would take and combine all
that is good and excise all that is bad
from both organizations, he made a
statement broad enough to include
the suggestion that if the league has
been so entwined and interviewer
into the peace of Europe that its good
must be preserved in order to stab
ilize the peace of the continent, ther
it can be amended or revised so that
we may still have remnant of world
aspirations in 1918 builded into the
worlds highest conception of helpful
cooperation in the ultimate realiza
ton"

FRANCE Will send
MORE GOLD TO j. 5,

Paris, Sept. 22.-France will con-
tinue the shipments of gold mixed
with American dollars to the United
States until the necessary $50, ,000.-
900 is in the hands of j. P. Morgan G.
Co. for the payment of Frances share
of the Anglo-French loan. it was au-
thoritatively stated here recently. In
that connection French bankers report
unusual activity in the foreign ex-
change market as it relates to dol
lars, many brokers purchasing Ameri-
can exchange, it is believed, as a re-
suit of efforts of the French govern
ment to retain gold on this side of
the Atlantic
Certain high officials here are COM
planning that those government ef
forts alone are calculated to, stimu-
late speculation and to stress de-
probation of the franc.
The Intransigeant criticises Fred
eric Francois-M -Marsal, minister of fl
nance, for his statement that there
would be extensive gold shipments
to the United States by the Bank of
France, asserting that this gold is
essential as a guarantee of our bank
notes."
Some other French newspapers ex-
press the opinion that the interest and
amortization charges on the new
French loan are too severe, even
though a gradual improvement in
French exchange rates is envisaged.

PRESIDENT WILSON
COLOSSAL failure
SAYS SEN. M'LEAN
Especial to the Tribune.) }

Hartford, Sept. 22.-To complete the
party ticket in Connecticut for which
the national convention in Chicago
provided the standard bearers. the
republican state convention began re-
Gently its session in Foot Guard
ArmoryUnited States Senator George
P. Mclean, as temporary chairman,
made the keynote address. Reviewing
the opportunities of the democratic
party, he said:
"A great crisis will make a great
man of an ordinary one, provided he
happens to be in the right place and
is willing to seek and follow unpre-
JUDGED advice. Mr.. Wilson may be
great man in many respects, but the
records show that he failed as sol
dier, as statesman and as peacemaker.
Mr. Wilson had the opportunity of a
century and threw it away. More
over, republicans were never in a
position to prevent his ultimate sue
cess had he deserved it. AS soldier,
they stood as close, if not closer, to
his sword arm than did democrats.
AS statesman, republican opposition
would have added to his glory if he
had possessed the vision and spirit
of true staesmanship. AS peacemaker,
he had the sympathy and good wishes
of all men everywhere, including the
PROSTATE enemy"
Senator Mclean discussed the peace
treaty, saying that he was one of
those who believed that wisdom and
duty lay between the extremes as
represented by the document in its
exact terms and the proposal to re-
ject it entirely. He said there was
ample room for honest difference of
opinion, and believed then, and still
believes, that "the crude and danger
GUS proposals in Mr. Wilson's league
and treaty can be so modified by
amendment and reservations that no
injury will result to the United
States"
