Coleman dupont
By Thomas l. Cannon, Of Birnningham, Ala.

In a recent issue of The Journal.
there was an editorial commenting
favorably on the appointment Of
General Coleman DUPONT TO the
United States Senate by Governor
Denney, Of Delaware.
General dupont does not accept
my estimate of his value to the
American people. as a builder in
world affairs. Senator dupont likely
will not agree with my assessment Of
his ability as a lawmaker in the flu
ture.
My opinion has little concern with
the General or the Senator but with
Coleman DUPONT, the superman.
When Coleman DUPONT was a
youth, working in a coal mine at
Central City, KY, was a young cd
itor at Henderson, Ky. not far away.
He developed into a stalwart Re-
publican, l a Bourbon Democrat.
Periodically we met; occasionally we
exchanged letters. There has never
been the least intimacy between us.
The youth of then attracted my
attention. awoke a liking, aroused
an admiration and respect. There
were elements of character apparent
In him that excited the student SEN
timent interested in developing man
power and character building, emf
nent in his human endeavors.
The few connecting twigs that
dropped during the years fed the
flame of friendship. Ever and anon,
some deed called to mind the young
coal miner Of Kentucky.
Those twigs of intervening years
grew to branches. and those branches

the world the essential quintessence
Of democracy - safe, sane, sound.
one tap-root was along the south At
lantic Coast, another in Valley Forge.
Studying submerged history of
men, women aid deeds, a student
seeking scholarship in unobtrusive
statesmanship, as it is woven from
web, woof and warp, It became more
and more apparent that the young
Kentucky coal miner was peer to
any; superior, in fact, in attributes
Of manliness needed in each recur-
ring epoch OF history; a test Of 'the
survival of the flttest"; a struggle for
supremacy in world affairs.
The character OF the youth had
been built to the proportions Of a
giant; the stride swung into the ster
OF a superior among fnanciers, cap
tains of industry, diplomats, citizens
OF all standards.
In 1912 a crisis was apparent &c

From her corner by the fireplace
Vesta eyed her father nervously, as
she stroked the fur Of Nebuchadnez-
Ear, Nora's pet cat. How changed he
was, and what had brought it all
about? There was no real reason that
she could see, except her fathers
stubbornness. Don was not bad sort,
and he had made Nora a good hus-
band, providing well for her and the
children. Then there was John Den
ton. It was just such a night as this
that he had driven him from the
house.
The young man had made some
laughing remark about their differ
ences in politics to which the colonel
had taken exception. Hot Of temper
and bitter Of tongue, he had disposed
of the matter promptly. John had
asked Vesta to decide whether she
would be ruled by<love or fear. She
was but twenty, and to her filial duty
was fetish. There was no a1terna-
tive, she told him. She had never
answered one IF his letters, and in
time they had ceased to come. he
had forgotten, Of course, and it was
as well for both, as her duty lay to
her parents, now entirely alone.
Vesta's fingers trembled as she en-
broidered the last dainty forget-me-
not on the little pink flannel for No
ra's newest baby, the one they had
never seen.
The fire was getting low, and she
rose and poked the Goals until they
9lowed with new life, then heaped the
andirons with hickory logs. In few
moments the faint odor Of pungent
wood began to filter through the room,
| and as it did so Vesta's courage rose.
