Education Is Not All

LIE was good and straight and respected for 40 years
and then
Arthur w. Kent old and broken was taken TO the Jail
az Ann Arbor, Michigan
He had been Schoomaster teacher of history leader of
Sunday school class general helper and adviser TO young
ideas. Now he is at the end of things. for in brief two
years he wrecked a lifetime of honor.
Wife became sick His salary never had been large, as
the sad lot of the school teacher and grave need
faced him. He fell.
A bogus check was passed. 1t did not save the wife
and il destroyed him. His conscience picked and he fled
from his crime, fled from himself Into the far places
of the country he Sped always with the hand of the law
reaching for him.
But he wrote other worthless checklist easy TO
defaudbut they only relieved the body but not the soul
His flight became desperate. Always, always the
law was but a few steps behind him.
e" never knew happiness in those two years OF flight
he says. 81 never knew what it TO live blssfuy or
sleep soundly. Always fearing always fleeing"
Now the law has caught him-caught him. an old,
broken helpless wreck, body and soul II have learned
the lesson | have taught many of my students, he
tearfully says. Education is nothing without moral
stability"
Yes he has learned the truth too late for himself but
in time TO point moral for others.
Education is ALL Character must be its companion,
for brains that know not the leash of morality only make
crime more hideous.
Poor wrecked. old Kent knows this and the best
he do with what is left of him is TO offer himself as
terrible example.

tour That decision rests upon the
Presidents belief, in an idiom at
tributed to him, that there's nothing
to worry about" He is very old
hand at campaigns. This years must
be his fourteenth or fifteenth, for one
office or another. If he thought 1t
necessary to throw his personality
into the fight Coolidge's political
judgment would INDUCE him to do so.
His judgment tells him 1t is un-
necessary. He believes that what the
Democrats term the Coolidge myth
is puncture- -proof-that his grip on
popular confidence is a strange hold
The Democrats are frankly nettled
by Coolidge's unwillingness to take
the stump in his own behalf. They
would consider it a first-class Strate-
gic victory if they could get him to
say something" They seem conf
dent that he would SAY something
they could shoot at" They concede
that the Presidents invincibfe silence,
therefore, is disconcerting. In the
meantime the Democrats are gradu
ally going TO go after the President
in more forceful fashion than hither-
to. They appear to be on the verge
of forgetting that he is Chief Magis-
trate of the Republic and to be pre-
pairing to treat him as political op-
ponent, pure and simple.
