With Americas resources and con-
sequent opportunities, many we'll
to-do people profess to wonder why
everybody can't amass fortune, or
at least a competency. There are
probably two outstanding reasons.
Many people are interested to a
greater extent in other matters than
they are in acquiring property and
money so long as they have enough
to get along with, think nothing about
accommodating. Others, and perhaps
they are the greater number among
those who do not accumulate, have
plenty of characteristic American en-
ergy, but are impatient of the slow
and steady processes by which re-
suits usually have to be achieved.

There is much being written just
now about President Coolidge, as IS
entirely natural under the conditions,
and from these numerous articles we
learn lot of things about the man
who was so suddenly boosted into the
highest position which the world has
to offer. Among other things we
learn that he is "shy, canny, honest,
simple, rigid, precise, close-mouthed,
assiduous, taciturn, strict, strong,
studious, sedate, steady, silent, sim
cere, solemn, safe, quiet and DELHI
crate" That all sounds as though the
president is as trustworthy as any
old Dobbin that ever pulled a buggy
in the days before the flivver and 1t
may be that providence picked him
out as the right type of man to be at
the head of the government in jazzy
frivolous and noisy age.

DR.. Stienmetz, the great electrician
whose death a few days ago was the
occasion for publishing columns OF
articles about the man
and his works, left virtually no es-
tate. He owned his books and pa
pers, an electric automobile made in
1912 and a $500 insurance policy, the
policy being provided by the General
Electric company. All he wanted
was place to work and the very ordi-
nary comforts of life. He had done
much for humanity, however, and on
Sunday his body lay in state for pub
lie homage. He might have made
millions out of his great genius, but
t would have meant nothing to him |
ind would have detracted from his
anne.

Moscow and the University of Ida ,
10 have reason to be appreciative of
he wonderful support given by Lew
stof- and other nearby towns in Sc
uring the Gonzaga game on the Ida
% field. With Lewiston selling 1900
Ickets, and other towns taking tickets
" the hundreds to, say nothing of the
rowds who will come from Spokane,
, is evident that the crowd will be
be- largest that has ever attended a
anne at this place, or probably on
ny Inland Empire field.

so SOON, GENTLEMEN?
The Association Against the Pro-
ton Amendment is confronted by
split in its ranks. The New York
vision has seeded and organized a
cup by itself which will wage war !
/ the Volstead act solely and leave c
Q constitutional amendment alone.
A realization that the eighteenth
nendment is here to stay is said to
we prompted the decision. Many
rsons who were moderately in fav- !,
of light wines and beer, it was re- n
rted, refused to loosen their purse e
rings for a campaign of repeal t
itch would pave the way for re- :
IN of the old abuses. W
So the New York group, under the D
me of the Moderation league, is go D
, ahead on light wines and beer
INSTRUMENTATION pro-
I'M which it believes will meet with
Ter public favor. W
he league will have to do better L
n that, however. 1t might start :,
effective crusade against beer run 4.
