Mr.. COOLIDGE SEES 1T THROUGH.

More than any other of our public
men living Calvin Coolidge has been
called upon to face major political
emergencies, and not once has he fail
ed to come through clean. The Senate
resolution calling for Denby's resigna-
ton constituted, under the circum-
stances, as great a challenge to his
manhood and principles as the Boston
police strike, and he met it as PROMPT
ly and as un%equiyocally. We predict
that when the public hysteria pro
duced by the oil scandal has had a
chance to subside this fresh demon
stration of the sterling character of
this man will nominate, and possibly
elect, him President.
Ii was Calvin Coolidge's duty first
OF all to defend the prerogatiyes of his
Office from the ~encroachment of legis-
latiye pressure backed by public clam
or. He did il, and in doing 81 he de-
fined the principles at stake as clearly
and forcefully as when he laid down
the law 10 the police strikers. We
We're superlatively lucky as a nation
to have in the Presidency at the mo-
mant a man who could meet the Sen
ate's impertinence with a None of
your damn businessi" Up where he
comes from they call that "spunk."
II was his duty in the second place
TO stand between his colleague and the
political l%ynching party from the Cap
ifol. He did that, too, though DENLY
is not his appointee and he shares no
responsibility for Denby's part in leas-
ing the oil reserves. He simply acted
the part Of a man who would see JUS
tice done. No one, even in the Senate,
has imputed dishonest motives to
DENLY, whatever may have been his
mistakes of judgment. DENLY beliey-
ed the oil reserves were being drained
by contiguous wells. He believed that
the business Of exploiting these re-
serves would fare no better from the
Wasteful methods of bureaucratic ope-
ration than the railroad business or
the merchant marine business. In
handing over the naval oil reserves to
the Interior Department to be leased,
therefore, we firmly believe that he
simply did his duty as he saw it, and,
incidentally, as the great majority of
his present critics saw it-then.
Very likely the President could pick
a better Secretary of the Navy than
the unfortunate DENLY. But to aban-
don him because the mob thirsts for
his blood-that was never the way of
e Green Mountain boy.-Judge.

ought to know that by freely applying
Emerald Oil daily the gland a be
brought to a head and all the germs
and poisonous secretions discharged

desire this treatment should secure a
two-ounce original bottle of Emerald
Oil (full s~trength) and use as directed.
1t is a very concentrated preparation
and a small quantity lasts a long time.
It is also used to reduce swollen veins

HEART THRILLS AND HEART
ACHES"
By Jack SmOthers

Many people were disappointed over
the nomination on Tuesday and many
also were elated. Chicago was in full
dress all over the city, making known
their favorite Office holders by the un-
ceasing yelling and screaming Of .'let's
get our man in" Here's a good man
for good place" etc, till the day
had passed.
Now that the great event that has
been looked forward to for some time
has come and gone, will we settle down
to peace or will there be more unrest
and confusion than ever7 Why are we
so anxious for this man and that man
to hold office? Are men selected for
their merit or are they selected be-
cause they have money, or because
they viii be able to put others in
better light-mostly financial light?
These are questions that cannot be
answered without some thought, and
more than likely, some more
thought" But what can say is we
need men who will take the interest
Of the public at heart. Who will do
the things that will be for the better
ment and the development Of this great
city of ours in all the various ways
that can possibly de done? We have
such men-and we had them on the
Republican and Democratic tickets
Tuesday But only one man can oc-
cupy a seat at time. Some of the
good ones were elected-and some Of
the good ones were defeated. We will
have to take time about and devise a
way that "all the good men will not
be allowed to occupy all the good
places-all the time"
