The Nations Listening Post.

President Coolidge, according to the
callers at the temporary White House.
is master listener. He hears all
they have to say, and says little him.
self, unless it is on some subject to
which he has already given considera.
ton and on which he has made up
his mind. He has the faculty of avoid
ing loose talk about affairs upon
which his judgment has not matured.
He does not make leading statements.
The training of the President since
March 4, 1921, has in a measure quail
nation. Until he succeeded to the
presidency, by virtue OF his Office as
Vice President, he presided over the
Senate, where conversation is free
and long, except for the presiding Of
ficer. who is the official audience of
all that occurs. Former Vice Presi-
dent Marshall in an address. one of
the few he made to the Senate, before
he retired after serving eight years
as President of the Senate, described
himself as the greatest listener since
the Sphinx sat itself down in the
Lybian desert
But the fact that President Coolidge
IS a good listener does not mean that
he cannot act quickly and effectively.
He IS a lawyer by profession. In the
White House he sits not only DIS a
Judge between conflicting forces. but
also as an administrator. And of
course it is as an administrator that
he must rise or fall in the estimation
of the American people. All the lis
tening in the world cannot meet some
of the problems that must be met by
the government IN this country. The
new President will rely, as he must,
to a considerable extent upon the ad-
vice given him by men in whom he
has confidence. But in matters of
public policy he may be counted on to
reach a decision himself once all the
evidence is in. He is an assiduous
worker. He has worked hard all his
life.
While the President is proving him
self a listener in the brief time he has
occupied office, he has also thrown off
some of the reputation which he has
had for taciturnity. He can and does
make himself agreeable to callers.

Edwin M. Hood.

Few newspaper men have served in
Washington with as wide an ac-
quaintance and as high a prestige as
writers, long in the service of the
Associated Press, who died in this city
Wednesday night. Eddie Hood, as
he was affectionately known by all
his associates, and even by those in
high station with whom he worked
In the gathering and writing of news,
had become a veritable institution in
the uptown field" the region of the
White House and it's adjacent depart
ments of the government. In latter
years the State Department was his
particular assignment. In that he
rendered the most valuable service.
His long acquaintance with affairs,
his intimate knowledge of the cur
rents of news, his close association
with public men and particularly the
representatives of foreign govern
ments, all of whom trusted him i'm
plicitly, enabled him to write with au-
thority and precision about interna-
tional matters. 1t was this confidence
that Mr.. Hood had gained that en-
abled him to attain and to maintain
his position as one of the most eff
ficient news men ever serving at the
capital. In personal qualities Eddie"
Hood was richly endowed. He was
beloved by all his associates. He
coached many a Junior reporter who
had the good fortune to be thrown
into association with him. He even
guided and advised the elder members
of the craft. who recognized the value
Of his experience and his judgment
His kindly manner, his warmly affec-
tomato nature, his always temperate
judgment of men and matters, his
disposition to say no i'll of any, gave
him high place in the hearts of all
who We're favored with his friendship.
The long and faithful service closed
appropriately with a valuable contri-
button to the report of last Wednesday
Of the funeral of President Harding.

Americas Musical Victory.

We have believed that Americans
are a musical nation, though the Ger
mans and Italians have disagreed
with us. Many persons in France and
even in Russia have scorned our pro-
testationS that we are musically in
clined, even though most foreign
musicians have to come here to make
money. There are a few Of our own
people who with unreason akin to
treason hold that good music can
come to us only through Ellis Island,
and that song to touch the heart
must have a name and words that
Americans cannot understand unless
they are good pretenders. Some of
cur fair songbirds have had to cast
off their homemade names and adopt
alien names in order to get on in the
world.
But in spite of this we are musical
people. There is the Marine Band for
an example, and many of it's great
players were born on 1.-THE navy yard"
which the uniformed persons who
have recently come to the Capital
should know is the Eastern Branch
section of Southeast Washington.
There is also the Army Band. Even
a. man who would not bet a five.cent
cigar against one that will smoke that
it will rain within the next six months
would be willing to wager that every
fine fellow who plays horn or drum in
the Army Band is 100 per cent Amer
lean, even though here and there one
of them once owed allegiance or
something of that kind to a king. Our
municipal sings show that thousands
of Washingtonians have voices" In
the altogether singing at clubs and
theaters everybody sings, whether he
knows how or not.

choir from Cleveland. Ohio, has won

there is a means of reaching the evil

Prophetic Warning
By Woodrow Wilson

Lecturing at Columbia University
on Constitutional Government in the
United States" in 1908, fifteen years
ago, woodrow Wilson, then president
of Princeton University, spoke as fol-
lows:
an view of the makers Of the Con-
stitution, the President was to be the
loyal executive; perhaps the leader
of the nation; certainly not the leader
of the party, at any rate, while in Of
flee. But by the operation of forces
inherent in the very nature of gov
eminent, he has become all three, and
by inevitable consequence the most
heavily burdened officer in the world.
mo other mans day is SO full as
his, so full of the responsibilities
which tax mind and conscience alike
and demand an inexhaustible vitality.
The mere task of making appoint
ments to office, which the Constitu-
ton imposes upon the President, has
come near to breaking some of our
Presidents down, because 1t is a
never ending task in a civil service
not yet put upon a professional foot
ing, confused with short terms of Of
fee, always forming and dissolving.
And in proportion as the President
ventures to Use his opportunity to
lead opinion and act as spokesman of
the people in affairs, the people stand
ready to overwhelm him by running
to him with every question, great and
small. They are as eager to have him
settle a. literary question as a politi-
cal; hear him as acquiescently with
regard to matters Of expert knowl-
edge as with regard to public affairs.
and call upon him to quiet all troubles
by his personal Intervention. Men Of
ordinary physique and discretion can
not be Presidents ana live. II the

A Brazen Defiance of Law.

A certain place was raided in this
city again yesterday by the police as
a handbook headquarters and thirty
four were arrested. When the police
entered the premises betting slips and
other evidences of horse race gam
bling were scattered about, The place
has been VIGOROUSLY a veritable gam
bling room for a long time and has
been raided before. Every time, how
ever, the case has resulted in either
a nature to prosecute or a virtual
escape from justice and the estab-
1ishment has continued conspicuously
open for business. 1t is impossible
to pass it without knowing what is
proceeding. The windows are plas-
tered with tips" and odds" The
least initiated person can tell that
it is maintained as a place where bets
can be laid on distant races.

BY THE MARaUIsE DE FoNTENOY,

OF all the members of the now de-
funct Lloyd George administration
there is probably no one who enjoyed
then. and still retains, such universal
popularity and who has SO many
friends as the Right Hon. Frederick
g. Guest, who has just arrived from
England. and who was minister in
charge Of the royal air department,
and, as SUCH had the military and the
naval and the civilian aviation of
Great Britain under his direction and
control.
There is no one in English public
life who is so well known on this side
Of the Atlantic. and until he went
out Of Office last year he could boast
of being the only minister OF the
British crown who maintained home
in the United States, namely at Ros-
lyn, Long Island where his wife, the
former Amy Phipps. daughter of Henry
Phipps of New York. purchased some
years ago the beautiful du Pont place
for d sum Of about half million dol
lars. Indeed, he Is so familiar Il fig
ure in and around New York that his
coming and going no longer attracts
attention, save among those in polo
circles, where his presence is always
welcomed with enthusiasm, since he
is one Of the most enthusiastic and
adept polo players in England.
While everybody on this side of the
Atlantic is familiar with the name of
Guest in connection with politics and
aviation and polo and other forms of
sport, few connect it with that trans
lation of Mabinoginon. that wonder
