STOP PRODUCTION TO
STOP TRADE in Drugs

Berlin-(A. P.)-The trade in bane-
full narcotics can be controlled only
through limiting the production of
the raw drugs, in the opinion of Rep
resentatives Stephen G. Porter, of
Plttsburg, Pa, who was the American
delegate to the League of Nations
Narcotic Commission last summer.
Mr.. Porter passed through Berlin re-
Gently on his way to Geneva to Wash
ington. All men who have studied
the opium question, he says, realize
control must be at the source of pro-
duction, for no nation can protect it.
self against the bringing in of drugs
by smugglers, a practice that is con-
stantly increasing.
Worldwide publicity, Mr.. Porter
believes, the foundation for which has
been laid at Geneva by the anit-opium
conference, is the principal thing now
necessary to force a limitation of the
production of the opiates which are
such menace to civilization. Women
are the most effective workers in the
campaign, and Mr.. Porter is warm in
his praise of Mrs. Hamilton Wright,
of Washington. and her associates in
various lands in their battle against
habit drugs.
All the European nations which
have possessions in the Far East
where opium is grown face stubborn
financial problem in forwarding the
anti-drug campaign, as their colonies
derive large portion of their reve-
nues from opium, Mr.. Porter says.

LIFE STORY OF CALVIN COOLIDGE,
ME-PRESDENT, WHO SUCCEEDS
T0PRESlDENCY OF UNITED STATES

Calvin Coolidge, vice president OF
the United States, was born in Ply
mouth Village, VT, July 4, 1872.
He came from a long line of Yam
kee ancestors, who had engaged prin-
cipally in farming. His father was
John c. Coolidge and his mother Vic
toria Moor Coolidge.
John Calvin Coolidge Gas he was
christened) attended the public
schools of the village, and then went
to Amherst College!
In his college days Coolidge was
known to his fellow students prin-
cipally for his prolonged silences
and his scholastic ability. He was
raw country lad, with his trousers
tucked into his boot tops and the
| marks of rural Vermont still plainly
on him.
In these days, Coolidge dropped
the John" from his name.
He was graduated from Amherst
in 1896 with an A. B. degree and high
est honors.
He then studied law in the offices
of Hammond and Field, Northamp-
ton, Mass, was admitted to the bar
within 20 months and entered the
practice of law in his own office.
Gets First Office
Coolidge's entry into politics came
when the county clerk died. He was
appointed to serve the balance of
the term. When this expired, the
Republicans wished to nominate
him for the office, but Coolidge re-
fused.
In 1899 he was elected member
OF the city council and for the fol-
lowing two years was city solicitor.
He then returned to the practice of
law.
Coolidge married Miss Grace Good
hue of Burlington, VT, Oct. 4, 1906.
Miss Goodhue was then a teacher in
the deaf and dumb school at North
ampton.
Coolidge's upward climb in the po-
litical world was steady and certain.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1923-08-03

owing to his sure decision and, the
mastery his quiet manner exertee
over men. He held various offices
including the mayorship of North
ampton. In 1911, he was elected
state senator. Here he remained
four years, holding the position OF
Senate president during the latter
two.
In 1915, Coolidge was elected lieu.
tenant governor, an office which he
held until he was chosen governor
in 1918.
Wins on Strike Issue
He ran for reelection as governor
in 1919, on platform Of perform
ance, including reduction of work
ing hours for women and minors,
increase in the compensation law
allowance, anti-high cost of living
legislation, and provision of $50.
100000 for compensation for World
War veterans.
His opponent, Richard H. Long,
made the issue the Boston police
strike of 1919 by promising to re-
store the strikers to duty and to
GUST the police commissioner.
$50 be it," said Coolidge. "Our
case shall be law and order" On
this platform Coolidge polled ma
jority of 100000 votes. His firm
handling of the strike situation,
which brought it to a rapid conclu-
sion, made him nationally famous.
Coolidge was nominated for the
vice presidency of the United States
at the 1920 Republican national con-
vention, and was elected to the office
at the Nov. elections.
Coolidge throughout his career
maintained the simple habits which
he formed in his early lawyer days.
When elected to the vice presidency
he still lived with his family in the
half of the two-story frame building
where he had taken his bride in
1906. His rent was $32 a month.
The Coolidges have two sons, John
and Calvin, Jr, both still in their
teens.

| The first news of the Presidents
| death in San Francisco was received
! in Bismarck by radio, just few min
utes after it happened. Some of the
calls were direct from San Francisco
and others were relayed through
Kansas City. Among those who heard
the news by the new method of COM
munication were Arthur Bauer and
o. E. Anderson, who Immediately
notified The Tribune, and Clar-
cnce Larson and John Larson Jr.
The radio broadcasting stations i'm
mcdiately closed.
Tension Heightened
Almost Immediately after the radio
flash the telegraph and telephone
was bringing to The Tribune the
flash and the details of the Pres
ident's death, remarkable speed being
made by the Associated Press in de-
livering the accurate and detailed
story.
Great concern had been felt here two
days ago over the illness of the Pres
ident. but with more encouraging re.
ports showing he had conquered one
phase of his battle with illness the
tension lessened. The fact that his
physicians had believed him. on the
way to recovery heightened the ten
sion.
Bismarck had anticipated visit
from President Harding when his
Alaskan trip was first proposed. He
had never been in North Dakota, it is
believed. The original plans for his
trip called for him to come through
the Northwest. either over the North
ern Pacific or Great Northern rail-
roads, but later the plans were
changed and no made his way west

Denver, Salt Lake City, thence to
Butte, Montana, and to Seattle, where
he embarked for Alaska. I
What Supcrstitloss Thought
Not since the death of President
William Mckinley, President from
1897 to 1901, has President died in
office, although Woodrow Viii was
stricken seriously i'll. A. few days ego
E. J. Taylor of this city remarked
that the supcrstitious had believed
that President Harding would die in
office, because since 1910 the Pres
ident elected each twenty years
thereafter had died in office. Pres
ident Abraham Lincoln, elected in
$780, was assassinated: President
James A. Garfield, elected in 1880 and
William Mckinley elected in 1900.
both were, victims of assassins.
President Harding was elected in No
yember, 1920.
RuIe Of Succession
The law Of Presidential succession
in the United States is % follows:
I'm case Of the removal, death,
resignation or disability Of both the
President and Vice President, then
the Secretary Of State shall act o.
President until the disability Of the
President or Vice. President is re-
moved or President Is elected. The |
rest Of the order Of succession is:

Of War, Attorney General, Postmas-
