Johnson's Lost Opportunity

But for a streak Of peevishness at being unable
to convince the Republican National Convention in
June of 1920, that has was the right man to name
for the presidency, Hiram johnson, and not Calvin
Coolidge would be president of the United States
today. ,
johnson, of course, is not talking about what
might have been, but some of his close friends have
been making remarks to the effect that the irony
of fate has made a deep impression on his mind
in the last few days.
If he had looked into the stern possibilities Of
the future that night in the Blackstone Hotel when
he had the vice presidency laid in his lap, and
tempered with a dash Of cool reason the huff that
was in his heart, he would be realizing now his life
long ambition to steer the ship of state from the
White House.
The stormy events attending the elimination of
the candidates at Chicago, the trades and combina-
lions and the shadows of dark horses that fitted
across the convention hall as it became more ap.
parent that the leaders in the first balloting could
not compose their differences, are being recalled.
From one and all johnson had the assurance that
if he would give them his support he could have
the vice presidency, but to one and all went firm
rejection.
Wood, who was leading, and Lowden, who was
next, undertook to cinch the nomination by extract
ing an agreement from the California progressive
leader.
And finally Harding, when his name had swept
the convention, was reported to have rendered the
offer. A word of one syllable was all that was
necessary.
Harding and his friends-the leaders who nut
him over-were ready to balance the ticket with a
Progressive. They preferred johnson to Coolidge,
feeling that the latter would subject the party to
dangerous criticism as being too much of a reac-
tionary.
johnson and Borah said they could not see it,
and that decision cost johnson what fate has de-
livered to Coolidge.
Running as second man on a presidential ticket
would not have been a new experience. He was
Roosevelts team mate in 1912 when the Bull Moose
sought to carry the country. Roosevelt himself owed
the presidency to accepting the nomination for
vice president with Mckinley in 1900, having failed
to land the presidential nomination.
Hiram johnson now, instead of having to cog
itate from the outset on plans for 1924, would be on
the inside track with all the advantages of the
field.

Funeral Trains Message

Among the many letters from the public written
20 the newspapers, respecting the death OF Presi-
dent Harding, the following is selected as contain
ing an important public message all may ponder
over:
Surely there is something more than an empty
symbol in the passing of the death train from coast
10 coast, the breadth of the continent, bearing the
mortal remains of the chief executive who SO late
ly spoke to us in person, through the press, by
wireless and from the screen.
'The crowds who a few days since gave him pass
ing applause stand now in silence with bowed,
barred heads. There is an intimate personal sorrow
in the unexpected passing of the great, gentle char
acter. But is it enough just to feel our sense of per
sonal grief?
throughout the land there is a growing feeling
of unrest. This is not an unrest stirred by the ig-
norant, the anarchist and the idle, but it ferments
equally among those who have benefited by nat
ional policies and education. 1t is the unreason-
ing unrest of immediate selfdesire whether it be in
the heart of the laborer, the farmer, the merchant
or the banker. 1t is the species Of unrest that
threatens to strike something down that will strike
back to kill.
e Especial laws for special classes will not stem
this rising tide of discomfort. 1t is n thing beyond
the scope of an individual statute. Nothing short
of a reversal of the mental attitude of the nation
can stop the drift.
"Twice during a short range of years the presi.
Dental train has gone westward with the purpose
of arousing national thought to the truth that no
man prospers by himself alone, but that public
policies are individual responsibilities. One spokes
man came back stricken, the other returns in the
shrouded train of death.
"Tn broad terms, the same message to the PEG
pie was voiced by both stricken presidents. Both
appealed for n greater national consciousness of
the interdependence of mankind-and both fell at
She task. Our present sorrow cannot be sincere
unless it is tinctured with a sense of shame for the
part that nationwide indifference played in these
tragedies.
"If our tears arc permeated with resolution for
more valiant citizenship, if our prayers are pledges
of renewed love for our ~fellowmen, then are we fit
TO mourn such a citizen as Warren G.. Harding
Then shall his works have not been In vain-he
would ask nothing more from his life than that it
might arouse the people to their full responsible
tiles to fellow-creatures."

Ready for Business

ROCK SPRINGS-The new tipple
started by the Megeath Coal company
about three months ago has been
completed and coal will soon be rush
ing through the screens and into the
cars. The new equipment added to
this mine is of the most approved
type and is electrically operated
throughout. affording the largest ton.
mage consistent with its capacity. The
expenditures made in the way of new
improvements will aggregate over
500, 900 and makes this property one
of the most modern and up-to-date
in the district. The work was super
vised by Superintendent r. S. Rob
bins. a mining engineer well.known
in the western coal industry.

ton up to the present moment, we are Of the opin-
ion that it has been Calvin Coolidge.
His life has been a succession of victories. he
has always succeeded in securing good big major
tiles for every office for which he became a can
didate. And what is more after he landed the Of
flee he filled it and had his way in the admins
~tration of it.
He really don't need much of a chance. The
chance has generally presented itself, all he had
to do was to take advantage of it
When it is recalled that he has risen from a town
councilman to president of the United States in
about twenty-five years, why all the uneasiness
about giving him his chance?
He has the very best chance, at this moment of
his whole life, and rest assured the chance will be
seized upon and the results will be to the benefit
of the nation and to the Qualification OF Calvin
Coolidge.

The First Mother-in-Law

Tho picture services supplying the newspapers
Of the country have dug up one of Mrs. Lamira
Goodhue, the mother of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, which
they have labeled the "First Mother.inLaw of the
land" We have no other way of judging the quail.
iy of the lady except by the picture. Up to date
she has not figured at all in the public prints.
Viewing her dimensions and the firmness of her
chin we would say at once that she is a very cap
able person. Boss of her own household and all
therein contained, including the respected father
inlaw of the president, IL any such there be.
We are not informed, and the star interviewers
as yet have not touched upon the presidents court
ship of the lady's daughter. One of two things is
certain, the mother-in-law either thought highly OF
Calvin Coolidge or else he had a very rocky time
stealing the young lady out on excursions to pruy.
er meetings and other places Of amusement.
The picture gives every evidence Of a person able
and even willing TO make the course OF true love
run rough
She also looks Ike a person who could step into
the family kitchen and in short time send out to
the company for Sunday dinner fried chicken, hot
biscuits, Boston baked beans and other things fit
TO eat TINT the company would enjoy. W. will
wager, even on the limited knowledge at hand, that
tho preacher OF the church where Calvin and the
young lady did their worshipping was always glad
OF IN invitation to Sunday dinner at the Goodhue
home
We would not wrong the lady for a million bucks
or any other sum, but Judging from the formid-
able appearance Of the First Mother-in-Law of
the Land In the picture presented to the public, we
have a better understanding Of why Calvin Cool.

below zero, meat deliveries to your retailer
go steadily on, so that you may be assured
of Just the kind and quality of meat that
you desire.
No city Is so far removed from live stock
production that it cannot receive its regular
supply of fresh meats.
Compare this with the meat supply of
thirty or forty years ago. Summer weather
then meant salt or picked meats IA the
country, and a limited variety of fresh meats
in most cities.
Refrigeration, developed by scientists,
has made it possible for Swift & Company,
and other packers, to prepare fresh meats
and ship them long distances in refrigerator
cars, so that today, without regard to heat
or cold, meat reaches your dealer fresh,
clean, and wholesome.
In addition to the fresh meats thus avail
able, Swift & Company prepares a variety
of tempting meats for hot weather:
Swifts Premium Cooked Ham, mild and
sweet, smoked over hard wood fires, is
always delicious.
Swfrs Premium Franlfurts, from our mod

of meats and spices.

Not Much Change in
immigration Policy
(By Federated Press)

Washington-The present immigra-
ton restriction policy will not be
changed in any vital particular when
congress takes up immigration legis-
lation at it's next session, it was
stated by Rep. Albert Johnson,
Washington, chairman, house commit
tee on immigration and naturaliza-
ton.
There will be some change in the
number of immigrants who will be
admissible under the quota. Instead
of placing the number admissible at
3 per cent of those who were here
in 1910, present plans call for z per
cent of the number here in 1890, and
an additional per cent to admit rel
atives of citizens. While the total al
lowed to enter will not be substan-
TALLY reduced, it is expected that the
change will have the effect of reduc-
ing the flow of immigration from
Russia.
An effort will be made by the COM
mittee to have legislation enacted to
authorize physical examinations OF
would-be immigrants on the ships
while crossing the ocean. This is in
tended to relieve congestion at the
ports of entry.
The committee intends to revise
the Asiatic exclusion act, but it is not
known at this time whether its ef-
feet will be to let down the bars
AGAINST Aciatic innigratiOn. Organ
lied labor is watching this phase OF
immigration legislation.

naturalization laws will be recodlfled
1t was not made known whether the
committee will recommend the pro-
posal made to congress by Secretary
of Labor Davis that an alien regis
