Means To Do Right.

MT. Coolidge has shown in thess months of service a great many quail ities that should please his country- men. think they all feel that MT. Coolidge means to do right And when a. man means to do right 50 far as have observed, it is usually quite easy for him to find the way to do right.
 Some people seem distressed over the conditions which business will face during the presidential election year Of course there must be an election. But there is no reason why business should be disturbed by if, if the people by common consent agraa they will hold to good man while they have him. Public sentiment can be so formed long before the election that there need be no doubt about the election.
 Consider President Too,
 Tn addition to considering the in- terests of the people, we should con- slider the interests Of the president, as head of the American government. Coolidge has position of the high est responsibility. He should not feel NN'faf'fA'h Ap tthht dile VI HfS tlflie or strength for any sort of political cam paigning, and for tho sake of the country as well as for his own sake. nc should not have to do so"

 Is For Coolidge.
 No man has a right to SAY he never will consider public office. nor accept public office No man can predict his own acts and feelings to strongly as that.

Social Dancers
Plan to Bar Tut
Steps in Ballroom

A great influx Of Egyptian dances
will be introduced into the American
ballroom as a result of the world
wide publicity achieved by the late
King Tutankhamen when he gave up
his age-old treasures This is a
prophecy of Arthur Murray, director
of the southern division, National In
stitute of Social Dancing. who an
nounced that one of the big things
that the institute proposes to do at
the convention of the organization,
which will meet at Asheville, N. c.,
the week of July 16, would be to
check the Egyptian tendency in ball
room dancing and to accept only
those features Of Tutankhamens
terpischorean art that will be suit
able to modern social dancing.
Another aim of the convention will
be toward ruling out all unseemly
dances. More sanely standardized
dances with less steps, will be the
watchword of the convention, which
urges that the public cooperate by
sending suggestions. The week of
the convention will be designated as
dance week"
