but he was seldom ION the bench"
while in the White House. His tenn
permanent was more that of the edi-
tor Harding.
President Coolidge will not at
tempt to assemble the old Harding
cabinet before Tuesday, August Ii.
He expects to be back from Marion
on Saturday next, but will make no
moves until the beginning of the
following week. At least eight of
the ten members Of the cabinet will
be in Washington by the 14th. The
new President Is not exactly ad-
vised as yet as to when Secretaries
Mellon of the Treasury and Davis of
the Labor Department will be back
from Europe There will be nothing
about this first meeting of the cab
has sat with the members of the Of
ficial family ever since Mr.. Harding
entered the White House. He has
not said much at the meetings of
the past, but he has known all that
has gone on.
Talk of cabinet changes at this
time is entirely premature. That
there will be changes is inevitable,
but as yet the President has given
no thought to them. He will be
guided largely by the wishes of the
members of the cabinet as they may
express them to him when the wheels
of government begin to turn at full
speed once more.
Today government stands all but
at a halt Only few slow motions
show that the great machine is
alive The loving memory of the
dead still is with us.

Governors Island, Fuller and Nc
Gee had been in Ludlow street Jail

 The British are a practical people They do not shrink frem compromise concession minor points, when involving considerable disappointment or sacrifice, If some larger later benefit is assured Such evidence of international good sense is the British acceptance of the American debt settlement terms
 The die hards'' were loath to submit to the bur dens involved in the interest terms and the dollar medium of payment. These did comport with either pride or comfort. But Chancellor Baldwin, frank toward both peoples made 1t bluntly plain that this was the best possible bargain And the British cabinet has had vision enough to look to the gains behind the settlement
 In world landscape shadowed by clouds in both Western and Eastern Europe, this flash of sunsh ne that stretches broadly the Atlantic and is an augury for other after-war settlements Since the armiStice there has been little in the world but friction and suspicion and dsputing among nations II is edffying and encouraging have the two great remained woarsome contention

 If a married man wants his wife to agree with him all he has to do is to call himself a fool.
 When a girl drops man hint she expects him to have sense enough to grab it.
 A girl may be ashamed of her dad and ashamed of the way he has made his money but you can bet your last cent she isn't ashamed to spend his dough
 Our idea of a hopeless dunbbell is the bird who thinks he can judge the kind of a life man lived by read ing the epitaph on his tombstone.
