THE PRESIDENT

The Presidency has fallen into safe
and capable hands in the lamented
event which deprives us Of President
Harding. Calvin Coolidge gave evil
dence Of This by the promptness Of
his announcement that he would
maintain the policies of his predeces-
sor and keep about him the same as
sistants and co-workers.
He had shown in his past career
the same reliable quality that this
announcement reveals. de can be re-
lied on to realize that a country be-
reft of its cherished leader needs
freedom from disturbing change of
policy. The outcome vindicates the
wisdom of picking a firm and steady
man for Nice-President in 1920.
AS to our new Presidents other
outstanding traits. he is d New Eng
lander, strong in the love Of law and
justice.
