HARDING'S DEATH
AND THE NATION.

President Harding is dead, but
the nation still lives. The most dis
tinguished among American citizens
has passed away, and the govern
ment continues to function. The
American people mourn the death
of Harding while they acclaim Mr..
Coolidge as his successor in office.
No tremor of uncertainty shakes
the political fabric of the country
as a change IN executive govern
ment is accomplished. In the
twinkling of an eye one president
is dead and another takes up the
reins Of government, yet the peo-
pie are undisturbed. The founda-
tons upon which our fathers build
ed this republic are secure, and the
passing of president is but an in
cident in the history Of the nation.
The bedrock upon which the fed
eral union is founded is confidence
in its high officials and this conf
dence, in its essential elements, has
yet to be violated
Few Georgians voted for Mr..
Harding and Mr. Coolidge. These
distinguished Americans were ele-
waited to their high stations by the
votes Of other sections. The poll
teal policies of these gentlemen are
not supported by Georgians in gen
eral. Mr.. Harding is dead and
Mr.. Coolidge is president Ct the
United States. AS such his duty is
toward the whole people. The ma
ton in its indissoluble unity looks
to Calvin Coolidge to discharge the
duties Of the office to which he
has been called by the death of his
distinguished predecessor with fair
ness and impartiality. The preei.
dent Of the United States is, aft
er all, but a servant Of the people,
and as such should carry into exc
cution their will. Mr.. Coolidge is,
I'd. Judge by his past record, a
strong man. He viii select his
course deliberately and once having
chosen this will not deviate there
from. Let US hope that he viii be
guided by the best minds in find
ing his course, and that his exc
cptive actions viii be for the good
of the nation as a whole.

PRIDE
You're proud of your city, its commerce and trade,
Its palaces splendid, its avenues wide,
The traffic that moves in an endless parade,
The skyscrapers rising in arrogant pride;
The shops and the theaters brilliant and gay
But have you place for the children to play?
-
You're proud Of your city. you justly acclaim
Its wealth and its beauty its power and might
You boast Of its progress, yo3 speak of its fame
You view it with wonder ana speubound delight;
Its magic enfolds you wherever you stray
Butts there place Tor the children to play?
The children-tomorrow YOUR city is THEIRS,
And how shall it be in the days still to come,
II these, who must manage a city's affairs
Grow up in the mean Shiny streets of slum?
On, put all your pride in your city away,
Unless you have place for the children to play

THE WRONG ATTITUDE
OF The NEW GENERATION.

Vt TIE NE W GEN r Ea iJN.
Roger W. Babson was recently
asked why it is that he is not SO
optimistic on the general business
situation when so many Of the
barometers Of business indicate
great prosperity. The optimistic
forecasts of prominent bankers,
manufacturers and financial az
visitors were called to Mr.. Babson'
attention and he was frankly asked
why a warning was needed under
present stable conditions. His reply
was as follows:
My reason for sounding a
warning is two-fold. First. the
Babsonchart Of business condi-
tions shows clearly that the per
iod Of readjustment is only
about so per cent completed.
and that further reimbursement Is
inevitable. Second, that the at
titude Of the younger genera
ton is distinctly harmful TO the
present situation. That is 20 say
my warning is based both on sta
tistics and on a study Of the
spiritual forces underlying bust
ness. Of course, in reality, the
spiritual or moral forces are BIZ
far the more important as they
really determine what staff tics
and the chart will later show.
Il am not fearful for Amari-
ca in the long run; but rather
am great optimist on this
country and the people Of this
country. My love Of America
causes me to issue this warning
that the attitude Of the average
young person today is not right
toward his or her work. A doctor
is not. friendly to his patient if
he blindly shuts his eyes to MS
patients disease. One cannot be
true friend Of the United
States by blindly shutting his
eyes to the wrong attitude Of the
new generation toward industry,
service and thrift. 1t is this
this wrong attitude which has al
ready caused business-as indi-
Gated by ehh Babsonchart-to
decline. The chart today stands
at 3 per cent below normal com
pared with / per cent below nor
nal at the beginning of the
year"

THE GREAT
CHICKLEBONE.

John Chicklebone died the other
day, and one hundred and fifty
autos followed him to the Gene
terry.
We first knew John Chicklebone
twenty-five years ago. Re was
then in his thirties and making six
dollars a week. No one would
have picked him for a thorough
bred. He was tall, awkward, ang-
ular and raw-boneed. His hair was
stiff and naturally pompadour.
Once in a while he cut it. He had
a stiff, bushy mustache that stood
out at right angles. This appen-
dage partly obscured the fact that
he had lost all his teeth. He had
a way of rubbing his gums togeth-
err when in thought.
He was faithful and took the
keenest delight and interest in his
work. This work consisted Of
packing stick candy in barrels. he
made a constant study Of each OPP
eration-the proper placing of each
package-the amount of excelsior
that went between the package and
the side Of the barrel-the putting
down on the outside of the barrel
the number of pounds in each layer
as he progressed. His highest am
bition was to be the best stick
candy packer in the factory.
On his six dollars a week he
married a tall, awkward, angular,
raw-boned spinster She had hair
the color of wheat straw and pulled
straight from her face into hard
knot at the back. She had a face
like a mans and was built like a
man. She would have received no
votes in a beauty contest.
Everybody laughed at John and
his funny old-maid wife.
When John Chicklebone died he
left his wife seven thousand dol
lars life insurance. He left her a
neat little home all paid for. He
left her four devoted children
orphans whom they had adopted
and educated.
At no time in his life did he
make more than eighteen dollars
a week.
So earnestly had he migrated
himself with the business and re-
ligious life of his little world that
when he passed away his fellow
workers in the factory and fellow
members in his church realized that
his going meant loss that they
all would feel.
That is why one hundred and
fifty autos held up traffic while
they followed him to the ceme-
terry. That is Why simple John
Chicklebone was great. But then.
great people are always simple.
