POINTED EPlGRAMS COINED BY
CALVIN COOLIDGE.

Calvin Coolidge, now president OF
the United States, is credited with
saying that silence and discretion"
comprise the duties of vice president
and no one can deny that he lived up
to that conception of the high Office.
II was not difficult for him to do so,
for he is described by those who know
him personally as a man of taciturn
disposition. But even if he is averse
to talking. it is not because he is shy
on material to talk about or lacking
in ability for clear and concise ex-
preston. As evidence of this some
one has collected a long list of cpl
grams from the addresses and papers
of President Coolidge. of which the
following are typical;
Don't hesitate to be as revolu-
tionary as science nor as reac-
3 tionary as the multiplication table
Government does not rest on the
opinions of men. It's results rest
on their actions.
Men do not make laws; they do
but discover them
We must eternally smite the
rock of public conscience if the
waters of patriotism are TO pour
forth.
There is no right to strike
against the public safety by any
body, anywhere, any time.
Sovereignty it is our belief, is
vested in the individual and we
are going to protect the rights of
the individual
Industry can not flourish if Ia
Dor anguish.
Self-government means self
support

MANY DEMOCRATS EMULATlNG
Mr.. BARkIS.

Senator Underwood says he is will
ing to become the standard bearer of
democracy. That is courtesy such as
becomes a true southern gentleman,
which Mr. Underwood is. But there
are several other members of the par
ty who are willing: McAdoo. Cox. Da-
Wis Glass. Al Smith, Senator Edwards
and possibly former President Wilson,
not to mention Henry Ford who is
said to be willing to accept nomina-
ton from either party. The willing
ness of these individuals to sacrifice
themselves for their party's welfare
does them great credit The demo-
cratic party is an old and respected
organization and it ought never to
lack for candidates. even though GER
tain defeat may stare them in the
face.

Destiny found Calvin Coolidge on
the farm where he was born. By the
light of an oil lamp on the family
Bible in that Vermont farmhouse. his
father-a farmer, the son and the
grandson of farmers-read to him the
oath of Office and received his solemn
pledge to keep it. The scene goes
down in history as typical of plain
living and high thinking" and of the
spirit which the sober Judgment OF
the people of America most willingly
summons to its government.
For Calvin Coolidge has brought to
politics the practical idealism of a
man who thinks out his creed before
he enacts his program and gives to
silence itself a commanding eloquence.
He has been his own man; he has
owned his own mind. The people may
be sure that in the vast responsibility
he now assumes his faith in God. his
confidence in his country; anu his
proper and desirable self-reliance will
not be stampeded to partisan ends
nor to any interests that are smaller
He brings to his great task a most
impressive equipment 1t is almost as
though he had schooled himself for
the presidency from the very start of
his career The first outstanding
event that focused nation wide atten-
ton upon him was the abandonment
of their duty by the Boston police
while he was governor of Massachu-
sets. The police had struck because
they were not permitted to affiliate
with the American Federation of La
Dor. Against their dereliction Cool
idge stood with marble frmness,"
and he broke the strike. SO that when
he was renominated for governor
against a democratic opponent who
had appealed to the mob by propos-
ing the reinstatement of the police
men-the people of Massachusetts, re-
elected him in a vindication not mere
ly of his own attitude but of their
own sovereignty; and President Will |
son, forgetting partisanship for pa
triotism, congratulated him on a VIC /
tory for law and order.
But it was not that single act of
frmness that established Coolidge's
fitness to be a national figure. His |
whole career has prepared him, in
theory and practice, for the highest
public Office. His boyhood taught him
The meaning of hard work His father
has said that Calvin could get more

q. Harding;
Remember there are two sides to
every question Get both.
BE truthful
Get the facts Mistakes are inev-

rather have one story exactly right
than a hundred half wrong.
"Be decent. Be fair. BE generous.
"BOost-don't knock. There's good
in everybody. Bring out the good in
everybody and never needlessly hurt
the feelings of anybody.
I'm reporting a political gathering,
get the facts, tell the story as It is, not
as you would like to have it.
Treat all parties alike. If there's
any politics to be played, we will play
it in our editorial columns.
Treat all religious matters rever-
emily.
IF it can possibly be avoided never
bring ignomiDy into comment on a
woman or child in telling of the mis-
deeds or misfortune of a relative.
Don't wait to be asked, but do it
without the asking.
And. above all. be clean. Never let
a dirty word or suggestive story get
into type.

CUT MOONLIGHT VEIN.
Twenty Feet Wide and Contains
Little Scattering Ore.

Twenty Feet Wide and Contains +
Little Scattering Ore.
From the time the Ajax crosscut
which passes through the Moonlight
ground was started. much interest has
been conferred on the Moonlight vein
and there We're many buyers of Moon
light stock on the chance that the
crosscut would disclose a body of ore.
And it was a good gamble even though
the outcome has been disappointing
The vein was cut last week and prov
ed to be 20 feet wide, badly broken up
and made up mainly of soft vein ma
terial and containing a little scatter
ing lead-silVer ore. The vein was
encountered just about where it was
expected. about $500 feet from the
portal of the tunnel. The Ajax cross
cut is about ZOO feet below the main
Moonlight tnnnel level. from which a
crosscut was run north to develop the
Ajax VEIN After exploring the Ajax
vein on that level, showing up con-
siderable ore, a shaft was sunk 200
feet from the bottom Of which the
vein was again explored with more
results. From this shaft
level a Wine was sunk on the vein
100 feet from which drifts both east
and west disclosed the best showing
IF ore The long crosscut now being
'un will cut the Ajax vein about 400

Tessive improvement as depth was |

THIS NATION is NOT GOING TO
THE BAD.

Those who are inclined to be dubi-
GUS over the continued existence of
this republic should review its history
for the past century and a half. They
will find a score of occasions when the
outlook was far more menacing than
it is today, yet the United States lived
through them all and continued its
rapid rise to wealth and prosperity
We have had foreign wars the terri
BILE Civil war. and numerous bloody
outbreaks of organized citizens
against constituted government. Some
of orr political campaigns have been
bitter in the extreme and threatened
to disrupt society and dismember the
Union. but the younger generation
knows little of them. Events loom
large to the participants, but histor-
ians will record the outbursts of our
present day radicals as a mere Incl
dental hindrance to the progress of
the United States under it's constitu-

Calvin Coolidge, President
philadelphia Public Ledger

sap out of a maple tree than any
other boy he ever knew" His recre-
alton has always been the study of
books on law, history economics, the
theory of government. In every stra-
tum of city and state politics as an
officeholder he has illustrated this be-
lief in the use of party government
for public ends. He has on all occa-
sions emphasized the plain path of
law and order With singularly pithy
and pregnant apothegms he has driv-
en- home the undecorative virtues,
placing the emphasis forever on doing
the days work with as few words as
possible and letting the credit take
care of itself
The most striking feature of his pc
culiar training for the presidency is
that, beyond any other vice president
we have had. he has taken part in the
councils of the president and cabinet.
His advice has had weight, his views
have been consulted. But he never
used his Office either to communicate
executive condolences to the senate or
to bring to the presidents attention
the requests of those who sought to
use Mr.. Coolidge as a go-between.
Thoroughly a right-hand functionary
in the administration, he has been
close to the mind of Mr.. Harding; and
while he will be serenely independent
of tradition or precedent, should the
need arise, he will never act in ignor-
ance of any policy that has hitherto
obtained
The people may be sure that all he
has and is he will give to their ser
vice and that he will justify their con-
fidence reposed in his high sense of
duty, his integrity of character, his
executive capacity He will know one
master only, and that master is Amer
lea.
And is the oath of fealty simply one
for the man on that night bound New
England farm to take? No; all the
people of the nation under God are
answerable with him. The country
has bowed it's head as one while the
solemn funeral cortege brings Hard
ing home. 1t has seen the new presi-
dent, heavy with care, speeding to
take from the honored dead increased
devotion, as Lincoln said that we must
do. And if we do not stand with
President Coolidge as those who are
with him to a sacred trust.
we shall as a people be recreant to
duty.

PRESIDENT HARDING AND HIS
NEWSPAPER RULES.

Naturally every man connected with
the newspaper business in all its de-
partments had warm feeling of per-
sonal friendship for President Hard
ing. and this applies to the obscure
country weekly as we'll as to the
metropolitan daily. President Hard
ing's career started as an apprentice
in a weekly newspaper Office in Ohio
and through the slow processes of
change and advancement, and in the
face of many discouragements. he
served as printer, pressman. foreman,
reporter, editor, managing editor and
publisher Success came to him
hard and continuous effort.
and he had fondness for the news
paper business and the men who were
engaged in it in all departments
which was an outstanding feature of
his brief term as the nations chief
executive. The fairness and forbear-
ance that characterized his life are re-

ANNIVERSARY OF THE FALL OF
MANILA.

! Twenty five years ago last Monday,
August 49, the American flag was
raised over the city of Manila. the
citadel of Spanish dominion in the
Philippine islands, and as the stars
and stripes went up. the flag of Spain
was lowered never to be raised again
as "a symbol of authority in the is
lands which for more than three cen
turtles had been cursed by the cruelties
of Spanish rule. As Admiral Dewey's
little fleet moved majestically in
front of the city and bombarded the
fortress guarding the southern land
approach, American soldiers opened
fire on the Spanish trenches encir-
cling the city and quickly swept away
all resistance. and before night fell
the Americans occupied Manila and
ten thousand Spanish soldiers laid
down their arms as prisoners of war
1t is impossible to realize that quar-
ter of century has passed since that
momentous day. All of those com
handing figures in the army and navy
who participated in that historic event
have passed away, and death has
made great inroads into the host of
soldiers and sailors who in the en-
thusiasm of youth and the inspiration

The Builder
THE BUILDER.
(AnOnymous)


An old man going a lone highway
Came in the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide,
The old man crossed at the twilight
dim.
The sullen stream had no fear for him.
But he turned when safe on the other
side
And built a bridge to span the tide
"Old Man." said fellow pilgrim near.
''You are wasting your strength with
building here;
Your journey will end with the ending
day.
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm deep and
wide:
Why build this bridge at eventide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head,
Good friend. in the path I've come"
he said.
There followed after me today
youth whose feet must pass this
way;
This chasm that has been as naughr
to me
To that fair-haired youth may pit
fall be:
He too, must cross in the twilight
dim,
Good friend. I'm building this bridge
for him."
