men who have been candidates for
the big prize, but Jimmie" Rey-
nolds had an idea that it would be
a good thing for his man to take
Isecond place on the ticket. He urg
ed that idea to such good effect that
the leaders who were controlling
the convention acquiesced readily
enough, and the thing was done.
So far as is known, President
Coolidge has not spoken on the sub
ject but there are those among his
close friends who say that if it had
not been for Reynolds he would
never have been Vice President, and
Of course If he had not been Vice
President he would not now be in
the White House, and he would be
long shot in any book that was be-
ling made on presidential prospects.
Logical Manager Next Year
All this gives Reynolds friends
their grounds for insisting that he
is the loIical man to direct the
Coolidge campaign in the fight now
at hand and to become chairman
of the Republican National Commit
tee in event of the Presidents nom
ination. They say that the same
experience and ability that qualified
him for the Craftsmanship of the
Coolidge organization three years
Iago make him eminently eligible for
the 1920 responsibility, and some
of them are even brash enough to
predict that President Coolidge will
so decide.
However that may be, 1t is not to
| be gainsaid that there is a deal of
! interest being manifested in the
question by Republican leaders and
workers. Senator Moses, of New
Hampshire, was one of the very first
to climb on the Coolidge band wag-
on, and he has been suspected of
aspiring to occupy the drivers seat.
He, too, was in the 1920 fight as the
manager of a losing presidential can
didate, General Leonard Wood. It
! is said that Wood is not likely to
be a candidate next year, but IL he
should be he will have to worry
along without a Moses, for the New
Hampshire statesman is definitely
committed to Coolidge.
| William M. Butles, of Massachu-
setts, and Charles D. Hilles, of New
York are others who have been

the new job Of king-maker, and Wal
I ter F. Brown, of Ohio, is still an
other. Mr.. Brown is said to have
been the late President Harding's
choice for the national chairman
ship next year, but it is scarcely
probable that President Coolidge
will go far N the matter of carry
/ ing out his predecessors policies
as to be governed thereby in naming
his campaign manager.
Former Representative Bascom
Slemp, of Virginia, whose appoint
ment as Secretary to the President
occasioned no little surprise, is not
overlooked when the political prem.
iership Is being discussed, but 1t Is
recognized that he will have his
hands full in the Job to which he
has been named. It is more likely
that he will serve as liaison officer
between the President and the head
or heads of the Coolidge politica
organization.
Meanwhile John T. Adams, O.
Iowa, is still national chairman, anC
he is a factor to be reckoned will
in all this forecasting for he has no
permitted the grass to grew under
his feet since the momentous chang,
at the White House and as has beer
said before, there Is still Jimmie
Reynolds, when all the possibilitie
have been canVassed.

are more than a musician. You are a
poet and there is poetry in your fin
gers"
Well, that is the way-fguratively
Speaking-that Paderewski and the
American public met.
Nevertheless, for long time there
was every indication that the Polish
pianist was lost to the world of mu-
sic. He quit in 1915 to devote him
self, body. soul and fortune, to his
native land. He came to America as
plenipotentiary from the National
Polish committee and labored like q
giant. He raised large sum through
many benefit concerts. He delivered
many addresses to recruit Poles in the
United States. He spent his private
fortune in organizing the struggle for
Polish freedom.
In January of 1919, working with
General PilSudSki, the military dicta-
tor of Poland. Paderewski became
prime minister of the reconstructed
Polish state. He was slightly wounded
at Warsaw by a wOuld-be assassin. AS
premier, Paderewski did as well as
anyone could in those distracted days.
He kept things going He represented
his country ably at the peace con-
ference.
Paderewski returned to- this country,
war-worn ana with his fortune gone.
And he said at that time:
Il shall never play in public again.
That is closed chapter. l shall COM
pose music from time to time, but l
shall never play again. And there
upon he went into retirement in Cali
fornia.
But Old Mother Nature is a jolly
good nurse-the very best there is. She
offers rest and quiet and peace to the
weary. She has cures of her own for
the sick at heart. And the Pole was
patient worth her best efforts. He is a
big man physically. Any man who can
play at public performance for three
hours, with only brief intermission,
is a strong man. And he Is strong
man mentally.
Anyway, Old Mother Nature had her
way with this strong man. Those who
know him well say that in the depths
of his own being he found strength and
philosophy TO regain his pOise; that his
present physical and artistic well-being
is but the reflection of the man within;
that Paderewski is master of himself
as well as of his instrument.
Yet Paderewski is temperamental,
like most artists. He is a man of in
tense emotions. At the time the late
president of Poland was assassinated
the news was kept from him until after
he had finished his recital. When he
was told he collapsed in chair-rage,
grief and anxiety overcoming him.
The thinking reader will not have
to he told that there are other features
in the situation which make the "come-
back" of Paderewski remarkable. 1t
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1923-07-06

staged during the past winter most
remarkable comeback. His Amer
lean tour has been the most wonderful
triumph ever won by musician. He
has surpassed even his triumphs of
the Nineties.
And Paderewski is siXty-two!
When the tour was in preparation
insurance was sought. Not an insur-
ance company in all the world would
listen to him. Even LlOyd's, which will
take chance on almost anything, re-
fused him.
1t is to laugh. Paderewski at sixty
two gave 10 recitals. He Travelled
$4,000 miles in private car. He dis
likes to be entertained" but there
were social invitations pressed upon
him which he could not ignore. His
principal trouble was to find halls big
enough to hold his audiences. His big
gest audience was one of 1000 in San
rancisco-receipts $24,500. In three
recitals in New York the receipts were
$4,000; for two in Chicago, 81 1000;
for two in Los Angeles, $1S,494; for
three in Boston, $4,000 and for one
in Cleveland, $15,341.
The gross receipts of the tour which
no company would insure were
100000!
When Clemenceau was in New York
at the Gibson home, Paderewski APP
peared and begged to see the great
Frenchman. 1t was late and the I'll
ger'' was in bed.
Just the same, the Tiger was de-
lighted. "Of course. AT once. Why,
l would see this great man in bed"
They met in the center of Clemen-
ceau's chamber, embraced and put lip
to cheek, after the continental custom.
After their chat the Frenchman said:
"Before go home l want to hear you
play. When shall have that pleas
ure?"
Master" said the pianist. 81 will
play for you now"
Clemenceau was delighted. Leading
the Pole by the hand he almost danced
downstairs to the music room, shout
ing like a boy and summoning the
household to come and hear; come
and hear"
Paderewski seated himself, looked
at the Tiger moment as if for in
spiration, then leaned back, closed his
eyes and played-four times. And
through it all Clemenceau sat erect in
his chair. his features kaleidoscope
OF the passion and pathos of the
music.
As Paderewski finished Clemenceau
caressed him again.
"Oh, my friend; my heart is full of
happiness. What man you are! You

While the phrase in this sense has the
sanction of good usage, it is probable
that originally the expression was tc
the better end" This latter form is
used properly to designate a crisis, or
the moment of an extremity. When,
for instance, vessel has paid out all
her cable, it has run out 20 the "bet-
ter end"-the end which is secured
within the vessel and little used. Rob,
inson Crusoe, in describing a terrible
storm, says: 1--WE rode with two an
chors ahead and the cables veeyed out
to the better end" =,
