OPPOSING CAL
USELES. SAYS
COAST LEADER
Continued from page y

Continued from page /
His attitude of complete cense-
Grafton to service, coupled with a
great and sincere humility which no
one mistakes for timidity or lack of
confidence, is the outstanding char
acteristic of the new President, as
developed in his first three weeks
in office.
Consecrated To Service
There are many things about
which Mr. Coolidge is not sure.
There is one thing of which he is
sure-that no matter what sort OF
President he may make he will give
everything he has of ability and
energy and good sense to the service
of the country.
Mr.. Coolidge has conveyed these
Things to his associates and to
others here without any words. He
has an inner Selling about the pres
ideney which simply makes it self
apparent in his whole method of
fitting himself into his work. The
keenest observers in Washington,
who has watched Presidents come
and go and who are expert in gaug-
ing actions and uncovering motives,
have developed deep respect for
Mr.. Coolidge, because he has made
it quite apparent to everyone that
the idea uppermost i'll his mind, and
the motive which inspires whatever
he does, is the single idea and mo-
tive of service, regardless of self.
Has Simple Program
His program today consists of
but two items. These are:
To learn the business of being
President.
To keep the country stable, con-
fident and safe.
There is strong strain III Mr..
Coolidge of that New England
quality of devotion and consecra-
tion to duty which, carried to its
limit, makes martyrs of men. Mr..
Coolidge has shown that he couples
with this the saving grace of
humaness and Il sense of humOr.
But one can see the fire burning
within him.e
The fact that his attitude is ex-
tremely good politics is giving joy
to Mr.. Coolidge's friends and sup
porters for 1924. Mr.. Coolidge is
politician, rot q demigod; and
he is, therefore, not insensible to
the fact that his attitude is good
politics. The point about it all is,
whether that is good or bad politics,
Mr.. Coolidge's way of being Presi-
dent is something he cannot help
and politics has nothing to do with
it.
Not A Candidate
Senator Johnson told reporters
that he was not a candidate at this
time and that he would not make
up his mind until he returned to
Washington for the congressional
session. Nevertheiess he made it
clear that he considers he is sit
ting pretty.
am not worrying about the
California insurgents, he said
when asked regarding reports that
he was returning home to start wal
on the insurgents.
Senator Johnson said that he was
never more confident of the correct
ness of his position on the world
court subject than at present. His
trip through Europe convinced him
that America should keep out OF
the muddle over there, he said. as
the European leaders were filled
with hatred of each other and this
country could do nothing to bring
about peace.
He refused to discuss prospects
of third party in 1924.

Mission Home Will
Be Established
BY Lutherans

Arrangements have been made
by the Lutheran churches of the
city, through their cooperative
organization. the Lutheran Al
lance, to establish a mission in
the vicinity of the National
Lutheran Home for the Aged.
The old homestead on Brent
wood road, near Seventeenth
street and Rhode Island avenue
northeast, has been rented and
will be used as a temporary
place of worship as soon as the
work of remodeling the build
ing so as to adapt it for church
and Sunday school purposes is
completed.
The church extension commit.
tee of the alliance, which has
been working on this project
since last summer, finds many
Lutherans scattered through the
several subdivisions in this To-
cality, and selected the building
to be, occupied because of its
convenient and central location
to the several groups.
In the past few years the al
lance has established the
Church Of the Incarnation at
Fourteenth and Gallatin streets
northwest and st. Johns Luth-
eran Church at East Riverdale,

Dr.. Goddard, Ohio Professor,

Hampered in Physical.
By InternatlonaI News service.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June g.
Every human being born into the
world has the potentiality to de-
velop to, a certain degree and no

former head of, the Ohio Bureau of
Juvenile Research. now a member
of the Ohio State University fac
ulty, addressing a local audience.
This is just as true Of his intelli-
gence as it is OF his stature" con-
tinued DIR. Goddard.
Some people say such a state.
ment is too discouTa ging to spread
abroad, but that is. absurd. We
must recognize the facts and act
accordingly. individuals of lower
intelligence are just as important
to the group as we are. The man
who digs ditch is worth as much
as any other citizen. Don't get the
impression 80 per cent of the popu-
lation are worth having and 20 per
cent are not.
Where the mentality is below
seven years, it is a different mat.
ter, and 1t is right to make an
effort to prevent such persons be-
ing born into the world. Where the
mentality is developed to that of
an eight-year-old or over, however
we have good citizens. While it is
true our penal institutions are
filled with men and women whose
mentality is between eight and
twelve, the mistake is in our
method Of educating them with
children of superior intelligence.
"Our problem lies in recognizing
the different grades of intelligence
and doing for each. grade what can
be done. A few years ago pupils in
public schools who could not get
their lessons were punished, but we
are learning differently now. II
children are sick mentally. it is as
unwise and unkind to punish them
as If they are sick physically. Par.
ents are learning to accept the
facts"

Church Blamed for
Mems Fondness
for Clubs

MONTREAL, June 2. -
Churches place too much en-
phasis on the duty of attend
ing church and pay too little at
tention to providing companion
ship for their memberships ex-
plains why there are so many
mems clubs at the present
time, said the Rev. H. S! Laws,
chaplain to the Montreal Kins-
mems Club.
"There's something in men"
he said, (which demands COM
partnership and service, and the.
churches have been lax in
the past in providing these
requisites.
"The result is seen in the
number of mems clubs; this is
the day of these organizations
because the churches have
not fulfilled their duty in the

Hospital inmate Gives Names
to U. s. Agents, Who Arrest
Leaders Of Ring.
BY international News Service.

formation supplied by a World War
veteran now confined in hospital
here may lead to the breaking up
OF a narcotic ring, with headquarters
here, whose operations reached
every city. OF size in the Northwest
] and as far East as Pittsburgh. Two
members of the alleged ring--a man
| and a Woman-are now in Jail here
charged with narcotic law violations.
The former soldier, whose identity
was not revealed by the Federal
agents, is said to have admitted
| former association with Dennis
Baker, the man held for alleged IL
Iicit sale of narcotics, and Louis
Becker. Superior (Wisconsin) man,
now serving time at Fort Leaven-
worth for violation of the narcotics
regulations.
He is said to have furnished Fed
eral authorities with information re-
vealing the operations of one OF the
most highly organized drug snug
Cling rings vet uncovered in this
region.
Baker, Federal agents charge,
furnished their Investigators with
narcotics. Letters were mailed him,
it is charged, at his headquarters
requesting that he send IS worth OF
Mabel" and the same amount OF
code" for
morphine and cocaine, respectively.
The drugs were sent. to them at
Minneapolis, the agents charge. They
were paid for with marked bills:
When Baker was arrested in hfs
shanty home, near the Canadian
border, no drugs We're found on
his person or premises. A number
of letters, in which reference was
made to shipments OF Mabel"

ming with "H" when talking about
heroin and with &C" when discuss

full of banknotes.
Woman Is Arrested.
The arrest, at st. Paul, of a wo-
man who gave her name as Mrs.

prove an important factor in fer.
reting out the other members of
the alleged ring. This woman, was
said to have had a considerable
quantity Of dope" in her posses

agent for the alleged ring.
The smugglers, it is believed by
Federal investigators, operated
across the international border at
international Falls. Drugs are al

by them across the border at that
point in vast quantities. 1t is also
believed that the ring has made
use of Lake Superior and Rainy
Lake. Small motor boats are used
extensively, the agents claim, by the
drug runners who operate on the

Operations of the ring are said
to have reached Chicago the Twin
