In No Sense Essential

Some folks devoted to agriculture have ex.
pressed the opinion also the hope that the next
president of the United States must be a farm
err. They probably believe that the election of a
farmer president would be of greater advant-
age to the farming population. This may we'll
be doubted. 1t is too narrow a view to take
of a person who is to be a chief executive of
more than a hundred million people devoted to a
multitude of interests. The selection of a cap
able and suitable man, regardless of his bust
ness or profession would be of vastly greater
benefit to agriculture than the choosing of a
man merely because he happened to be a farmer.
This is simply an expression of the class idea.
Carried to its logical conclusion it would mean
a number of candidates, each representing a par
ticular class. The manufacturers would have a
candidate, the labor unions would have a candi-
date, the professional men a candidate and so on
down the line until every group and bloc was
nicely fitted out with a candidate representing
their particular interest. 1t il supposed that
the winning class would expect to reap some spe-
cial benefit as the result of the election of their
candidate-an idea that is just about as UNI
American as anything could well be.
We have imported this class notion from Eu-
rope of recent years, and it is one of the least
valuable of our importations. The American
ideal has been equal opportunity for all, and
special privilege for none. The class idea is ex-
actly opposed to this. 1t contemplates an unequal
opportunity for some, a special privilege for n
few, and it makes no particular difference who
advocates 1.-THE injury to America is just the
same whether it is advocated in behalf of the
farmers, the lawyers, the manufacturers, the la.
Dor unions or any other group.
What the American people want in the White
House. and everywhere else under the Amer
lean government, are men whose first thought is
to fulfill the American tradition of a square
deal for everybody. 1t makes no difference from
what walk in life they come. What they be-
lieve and what they do are the important con
Germs.
All things considered. the United States has
not Jared so badly in the hundred and f~orty.odd
years of its existence. 1t has had but one farmer
first-although many. of its pres.
ldents have been born on farms, Mr.. Coolidge
included. Most of them have been lawyers. But
their occupations have not been important. They
are judged, not as lawyers or farmers, but by
what they did. That is the only standard to
apply to the president of the future. There is
no good reason why a farmer should not be pres.
ident of the United States nor is there any good
reason why a farmer should be.

and Wilson, Mr.. Coolidge has advantaged by the
son, Roosevelt and Wilson, but like Madison,
Monroe, Lincoln and Cleveland, Calvin Coolidge
is a lawyer by practice as well as by profession.
is Mr.. Coolidge as n president, bothered with a
legal mind?"
The legal mind clamors for the rule, the great
LAWYERS insists upon solving the perplexing
problems by reason.
Lincoln was perhaps the greatest lawyers ever
in the White House, but Lincoln was not "both-
cred" with n legal mind.
Had he been, he would have let the hayward
sisters go in peace. He would not have issued
the proclamation of emancipation. His illegal
mind" would have restrained him from waging
the war to keep the nation intact. 1t would
have stayed the hand that freed the slave.

Unencumbered and
UnbOught

In his address to the American
Red Cross on a recent occasion Pres.
ident Coolidge gave utterance to this
fine American sentiment.
The constant need of civilization
is for a practical ideallsm. It does
not attempt Il perform the impos-
sible. it does not seek to reform
merely by an act of legislation. think
ing hat 1t can unload its burden on
the government and be relieved rom
further effort. 1t does not under
take to assume responsibility for all
humanity. But 1t realizes that re-
demption comes only through sac
rifice. When a crisis arises, II does
not hesitate to go out and make
whatever sacrifice is necessary to
master the occasion.
1T Is this kind OF practical ideal
ism that Is represented In the his
tory OF u country. a deep faith
in spiritual things. tempered by a
hard common sense adapted TO the
needs OF this world. 1t has been
illustrated in the character of the
men who planted colonies in the will
derness and raised up great states
around the church and the school
house, who bought their indepen-
dence with their blood and cast out
slavery by the sacrifice OF their
bravest sons. who offered their lives
to give more freedom to oppressed
peoples and who went to the rescue
Of Europe with their treasure and
their men when their own liberty
and the liberty of the world was in
peril. But when the victory was
secure, retired from the field unen-
numbered by spoils. independent, un.
attached and unbought. still contin-
uing to contribute lavishly to the
relief of the stricken and destitute of
the Old World. and who. but recently

The ex-Kaiser has been told that

1t Is Fate

A calamity if it be remote, and those most
affected unknown to us, does not concern u.s.
like one at our very door in which our fridnds
and acquaintances are involved.
The bridge disaster on the Burlington fifteen
miles east of the city is the worst thing of its
kind to occur in the railroad history of this
part of the state, whatever the loss of life may
ultimately prove TO be.
Within the half hour those who went to their
death. by no fault of their own or the transpor-
tation company carrying them, were bidding rel
atives and friends good bye on the station plat.
form with no thought of the fate that was so
quickly to overtake them. Then came the dread
full announcement.
Realization comes slowly in such circum-
stances. We cannot grasp the occurrence in its
many aspects. Our mind constantly reverts TO
some precaution that should have been taken
to save our friends and acquaintance from such
doom.
We are shocked because of the suddeness of
the occurrence and saddened by the loss of those
near to us. 1t is no comfort to know that SIM
liar and worse incidents are happening the world
over every day. Somehow, someway, our own
should be spared.

spect nor shield persons nor localities. In the
