Coolidge Now Organized
For Own Administration

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2S.-
President C~oolidge's first thirty days
in office ends this week. During that
brief time the nation has witnessed
a most unexpected and complete
change in the national political stu,
alton.
Commencing next Tuesday, Sept.
4, the real Coolidge administration
swings into action. Geo. B. Christian,
secretary to the late President Hard
ing, will be succeeded by President
COOlidge's new secretary, Campbell
Bascom Slemp, of Virginia.
The appointment of Slemp by Cool
idge is till a source Of astonishment
to official Washington. However, il
has now been accepted as a virtua.
announcement by Coolidge that he Is
out in full force for the Republican
nomination in 1924.

ers. This development is a bit sur
prising in the fact that some politi-
cal prophets have accepted as almost
certain that VIM. H. Butler, Boston
lawyer, and a Coolidge man who sue
ceeded Secretary Weeks as a member
Of the Republican national committee,
would be the presidents choice for
chairman.
This is not the first time Will Hays
has been approached regarding a re-
turn TO the Craftsmanship which he
gave up to become postmaster gen.
eral in the Harding cabinet. 1t is a
well known fact that the late presi-
dent had him in mind for the 1924
Craftsmanship before starting on his
Inflated trip to Alaska.
One group of Republicans are urg-
ing Charles D. HiIles, who managed
the Taft campaign in 1912. Hays
however, is the favorite of the ma
jority at this time, if he can be pre-
vailed upon to again become active
in Republican affairs.

C. Bascom Slemp, of Big Stone Gap,
Va, former congressman and Repub-
lican state chairman since 1905, is
known as the Republican patronage
boss of the south. The appointment
of Slemp, the first made by Cool
idge, has been termed a magnificent
political stroke to capture southern
Republican support and delegates to
the next G.. o. P. convention.
The establishment at the appoint
ment of Slemp is in the fact that
pages in the Record of the last ses-
sion of congress are filled by de-
bate in which Thomas w. Harrison,
of Virginia, Democrat, charged and
backed up his charges by producing
signed letters and checks that Slemp
had sold G. o. P. postoffice patronage
for sums ranging from $50 to 800.
Slemp claimed the money represented
only campaign contributions.
When it, anne to 2 vote, the Repub-
licans ousted Harrison and seated
Slemp's man, John Paul, but Harri-
son had his revenge by being re-elect-
bed to the next congress. The last
congress was the first time Slemp had
failed to return, after succeeding hi;
father at the latter's death in 1907

MANAGE AGAIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 29-
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear ON Will H. Hays to have him
give up his place as director-general
of the movies and get back into the
political game.
Leaders in various groups are urg-
ing him TO indicate a willingness to
serve again as chairman of the Re-
publican national committee for the
1924 campaign, the same job he had
in the 1920 election Of Harding.
Definite overtures have been made
to Hays by a number of Coolidge
boosters as well as other party lead.

THE DEATH OF A PRESIDENT

The death of President Harding
must set the country to thinking
whether the bunden that they place
on a president is not almost more
than man can bear Mr.. Wilson
was broken in health by the cares
and responsibilities that came on
him with crushing weight, and now
his successor crumbles under the
same strain.
1t may be said that Mr.. Harding's
death was due primarily to the at
tack of Indigestion that he suffered
on his return from Alaska. Yet the
chances are that such an attack
would never have proved serious
had his physique not been weakened
by the intense and unremitting
strain to which the holder of this
high Office is subjected.
| 1t sometimes seems as if the prob
lens from which the world is suf.
fering are almost insoluble, for
many years at least, so great has
been the loss and arrangement
created by the great war. Yet VIC
lexpect our public men to meet ali
these difficulties, restore normal
business and social welfare to a
country that is torn by fractional
controversy and selfish grasping,
and when a president fails to solve
the insoluble, we tear him to pieces
and rend him with criticism and
sarcasm, The life of a president
must be one of incessant strain due
to unjust criticism and ridicule. A
man would need to be almost super
human not to suffer wear and tear
from this experience, and thereby
become somewhat prediposcd to
weaken under the attack of disease
1t will always be said for Warren
Harding that he tookthc difficulties
of his office with as much serenity
and good nature as any man could
possibly show. His quite, resolute
effort to bring back his country and
the world to a better day has &C
lcomphished much in one of the most
trying periods of world history, and
his memory will be the subject of
atfectionate regard from every
American heart. Also the country
will congratulate itself that his sue
cesSor is likewise man of serene
temper and democratic sympathies,
who will do his best for American
progress

HASTY MARRIAGES

Not all divorces are the result of
sudden and hasty marriages, but q
lot of them follow from that cause.
A fellow and girl will meet each
other at some dance or other occa-
sion. They at once become infat-
uated with each other, and the de-
sire for immediate marriage comes
over them. They haven't the sense
to wait little, see what kind of
character their new flame develops,
make some inquiry as to the person
they are selecting for lifelong
partner.
With precipitate haste they agree
to love and cherish each other until
death shall them part. In many
cases these words are said lightly
and thoughtlessly, with the feeling
that it is merely an experiment, and
they can separate and try it again if
they do not like it, Although prac-
tically strangers to each other they
enter on what is intended to be a
permanent relation.
After the first rush of sexual feel
ing has gone, and after the shams
and illusions have vanished, then
they wake up with start Of disil-
fusion. They discover that one or
both of them have serious faults
what make welded happiness impos-
sible. The closeness of the relation
makes them jar bitterly, harsh words
pass, and soon they hate instead of
love each other, and the divorce
court is the result.
If people only had q little more
sense they would enter into the mar
riage relation with some caution,
and realize what a calamity an I'M
fortunate marriage is. The man who
makes the mistake may be saddled
for life with the support of a wo-
man whom he detests, while many
women have found that the expert
cnce left lifelong bitter taste.
Young people will promote their
own welfare and happiness by max
ing their choices in calm delibera-
ton, and as the result only of
considerable period of acquaintance.
