J OLD SEPTEMBER
(By Edgar A. Guest

(By Edgar A. Guest
Old September pleases me,
Like the way he tints tree.
Like the way he comes to call
With some trinket for us all,
in the pockets of his vest.
Bringin' things we like the best,
Apples, peaches, pears an plums
Load the table when he comes
An for something extra fine
Grapes are ready on the vine.
Old September doesn't show
Wrinkled face or hair of snow,
He is like some men who hide
Age beneath glad outside,
Coverin' up his lines O. care
With a smile that's always fair.
Ioinin every song that's sunng,
Just as youthful as the young,
Ready for a round o fun
Or the task that's to be done.
Old September never grieves
Bout the fallin' of the leaves,
Never grumbles or complains
Bout his numerous aches an pains
Just goes traipsin' round the place
With bright an smilin' face
Splashin' colors here an there
Till there's beauty everywhere,
Scatterin' happiness an cheer
Till the whole worlds glad he's here
When old age gets hold O. me,
like September would be.
Want to keep up with the throng,
An go marchin' right along,
Want to putter round the place
With smile upon my face
Sharin' in the work an fun
Just as young as anyone.
When old age gifts hold O. me.
Like September I would be.

the motion picture, because Of its al
legged suggestion of criminal practices
to the mind Of the spectator. The way
of the trangressor may be hard, but
its pretty interesting to follow in a
story or on the screen, and its going
to be hard to keep youth from study
ing it. Perhaps the best way to neu-
tralize the effect of such stories or pic
lures is to provide them with an end
ing conveying an unmistakable moral.
A lady tried to get an apartment
ever in St. Petersburg, but was turned
down everywhere because Of her two
children. AS she didn't feel like
dropping the children in the bay, she
left for her home at Chicago, telling
Mayor Mitchell, You can have your
sunshine. and | will keep my children. "
There ought to be some way, however,
that visiting children could get the ben
eft of Florida sunshine. IF crowded
tourist resorts like St. Petersburg will
not provide for them, there are hum
dreds of smaller places in the state
where they might be received. and
where the sunshine is just as good. In
the tourist towns some apartments con-
structed of battle-ship steel might be
built to provide for the children. 1t
would require quarters of this type to
withstand the usage that many young
sters give to rented property, to say
nothing of the annoyance to other oc-
cupants of the premises. Parents
themselves are responsible for the OBJ
lection to renting houses or apartments

trouble; but, honestly, would you want

Coolidge as a Politician.

ical career has been. it is no more re-
markable than Calvin COOlidge's per.
lsonality. Anecdotes are an indigenous
growth from his rich individuality
and while his unreflecting neighbors
ascribc his success to Coolidge luck,
the stories they tell to point their sage
reflections indicate rather a capacity
for hard work and an uncanny sense
Of the psychological moment. -
| Some one once asked Coolidge how
he came to be elected to office with
such unfailing regularity. What do
you do to get the votes!'
Nothing: just let nature take its
course
That's good enough to hand out to
the public" said. the questioner with
the frank familiarity of an old friend,
but we know that nature doesn't work
that way
"Wcll,' said Coolidge, after a mem
cnt's reflection. perhaps / nudge ma
ture occasionally"
When he nudges, he does it most
effectively.
For instance: In 1913 the president
of the state senate failed OF reelection.
Northampton learned the sad news a
little after midnight. Calvin Coolidge,
then a member of the senate, took the
first train next morning for Boston,
and three days later came home with
the assurance that he would get the
position, which was one OF the most
eagerly sought in the commonwealth.
How did he do it: Perhaps nobody
but himself knows the details, but i'll
a general way by getting to the Sen
ators first and asking them for their
support. 1t took him only three days
to secure the pledges OF the majority
and they kept. their pledges.
Coolidge's political sagacity is many
sided. He was appointed chairman Of
the Massachusetts commission to the
Panama Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco. \ friend. H. congratulate
ing him, said: You will have q
splendid chance to see the Pacific
coast after the Massachusetts building
is dedicated and the fOrmalities are
over. OF course you will run down to
Los Angeles, and it would be fine to
come home by way of Seattle"
I'm not going" said Coolidge.
But Won must go. You are the head
Of the whole works.
Don't care. I'm not going"
why not:''
See Massachusetts, first
The rest of the commission made the
trip, had good time and spent the
next six months after their return eX-
planning their expense accounts! Cool
idse, having stayed at home, had no
explanations to make.
Coolidge. succeeded in local politics
because he. went TO the voters quietly
and individually and asked them for
their support He made no promises.
INDUCED in no Oratory. practiced none
of the tricks of conventional politics,
and yet Democratic Northampton eject
ed him to office in 1S99-as a member
of the city council-and with the help
of the surrounding country has kept
him in office most of the time since.
His first candidacy for a place on the
school board was unsuccessful. Since
then he has been candidate Twelve
times without defeat, and he usually
runs far ahead of his ticket.
