TRIBUTE TO COOLIDGE AND
HUGHES

General Dawes welded a trenchant
blade in slashing the cloaking of
the sheer respecting the administra-
tons attitude toward the reparation
experts.
1.-THE President and the Secretary
Of State" he said, fearlessly faced
facts as>they were and the situation
as it was" He sees, and does not
hesitate to say that if this had not
succeeded the undertaking would
have been dragged into the political
mire OF demagoguery.
There is the best reason in the
world to assume that General Dawes
knows what he is talking about; he
is acquainted both with affairs at
home and abroad. He does not find
Mr.. Davis practically constructive in
his attitude toward the League of
Nations and tells why. His logic is
unanswerable. The generalities in
which the Democratic candidate is
dealing fare badly under the analysis
OF Dawes. If already he isn't aware
of it he doubtless will be before the
campaign is over.

DOING THE WORK OF THE
SHIFTLESS

Americans take pride in their
sovereign States. Once there arose
great clamor in this country over
State Rights. Claims for those
rights were carried to the extreme.
AS yet no clamor has arisen over
State Obligations. 1t is time for it,
no matter II it be carried somewhat
to the extreme. But it never will be
in the matter of performing those
obligations. States and communi-
ties are too shiftless, too Indifferent,
too willing for George or the Gov
eminent to do that which 1t Is their
duty to do themselves.
A reminder OF this mischievous
temper OF the public mind is seen
in the effort being made by a de-
department of the national govern
ment at Washington to ascertain ito
what extent traffic accidents and
violations involve illiterates and
foreign born through their inability
to read warning or directional signs;
and to what extent these violators
have had driving experience"
What have the States been doing
Have they been permitting those
unable to read to drive cars, along
with the many other ineligibles to
whom they have issued drivers
licenses.

all out of breath. My Knapsack Is
so heavy"
What you got in it?" asked his
nice tramp friend. with q wag Of
his tail.
'Lollypops." shouted the little rab-
bit.
"Lollypops, all pink and blue
Maybe a couple of hundred or

Gracious me, enough for a

How did you guess it?" oues-

beside his kind old friend. ANY

We'll, perhaps" answered the
Yellow Dog Tramp. Il know lots Of

II wanted a surprise" sighed the
little rabbit. II hoped UP early
this morning to the Big Brown
Bears Cosy Cave, but never
thought anyone saw me-"
Never mind and don't worry"
replied the old dog, soothingly. Il
was only joking. Nobody told me-"
I'm so glad" answered the bunny
boy, "'cause Mother and I have
planned such a good time for to-
morrow. We're going to give a
picnic party. Want to Gomez"
"Of course" agreed the Yellow
Dog Tramp, with a happy bark.
II haven't been to picnic
For many and many a year.
I hope that Mr.. Merry Sun
Will shine down bright and clear"
ooh he will, Tn sure" laughed
the bunny boy. Billy Breeze has
promised to keep the rain-clouds

"I'll carry your knapsack," said
the yellow Dog Tramp. placing his
tattered straw hat on his head. just
a little over his left ear. and away
they went, the little rabbit, clipperty

1.-The sweetest music I have heard
Is the song of a little forest bird.
The coolest spot I've ever seen
Is a messy couch beneath the green
Twinkling leaves of a shady tree
Oh, the woods are the place 1 love
to be "
sang the Yellow Dog Tramp, as he
laid aside his old straw hat and
stretched out his hind legs. Then,
taking out his corncob pipe, he filled
it with cabbage leaf tobacco and
smoked awhile. By and by as he
sat there, putting contentedly on his
old pipe. slight noise made him
prick up his ears. who can that
be-" he asked himself, very soe.Sy,
you know, SO that no one could hear
him.
There. it came again. "clinkerty
clink, clinkerty clink."
Rising to his feet, the Yellow
Dog Tramp looked quickly up the
Shady Forest Trail; "clinkerty
clink, clinkerty clink!" There. it
came again for the third time. The
next moment Little Jack Rabbit
came hopping down the path. his
red striped candy cane swinging
from his left paw and his knapsack
bouncing up and down on his back,
"Clinkerty clink!"
"Ha, ha," barked the Yellow Dog
Tramp. $50 it's YOU and nobody
else Glad to see YOU"

Editors Letter Box
Asks a Question

Mr. Editor:
I would like to ask a question with
YOUR permission. If the Democratic
marty are so sure of success, why are
they giving so much free advertising
to the Khan; what's the matter with
the Khan? Personally 1 know nothing
about them-only l read every day in
your paper what the D. S. committee
publishes. / am not member of the
Khan, but I do know some of its mem
bers, some of the very best citizens
of Augusta and Maine, those whom
think would be true in any place you
could put them. There is always more
or less black sheep in the fold. The
republicans probably have their share
and perhaps the D. P. may have a very
few, but if every true American citi-
zen, man or woman, will go to the
polls and vote as every American citi-
zen should vote, without prejudice and
according to the dictates of their
own conscience, not bought or sold,
not for radicals or socialists that are
trying to ruin our country and call
themselves Republicans,-but as true
honest American citizens. 1 believe our
country will be safe. whether they
wear a hood. or gloves, or masks, or
go barefaced, it matters not if they
only vote right for the free country
we live in. the best country in the
world. United We stand. divided we
fall.
1t reminds me Of little story
heard of Polly parrot. One day her cage
was hung out doors to give her air.
Accidentally the door was left open,
so Polly thought she would go out and
see the world so she lit on a fence.
Presently she espied a dog and cat,
so she thought she would have some
fun at their expense. She began to
sic en- "sic EN-" to the dog, but
instead of the dog going for the cat
he turned on Polly; the battle was
fierce while it lasted, but finally she
got away from him and made for the
perch in her cage and very detected
looking bird was Polly, minus her tail
feathers, with her head down she was
heard muttering TO herself, Polly you
talk too much"

tween Stead and the door. He
sounded strangely different.
Now, Mr.. Stead" he said, its
no use mincing matters. Quite apart
from what you've told me this
morning, all of which | can quickly
verify for my self, Mr.. Illingwortn
and l were going to call on you a 1T
tie later, as we wished to see you
on an important matter. However,
here you are, so we needn't waste
time. The fact is. MIR. Stead, we
hold n warrant for your arrest"
Stead, who had been staring at the
detective as if he were trying to
make out the sudden change in his
voice and manner, started back.
"A Warrant-for my arrest?" he
exclaimed. "But--but on what
CHARGE"
Inspector Cortelyou raped out the
answer in one word. Forgery"
A Queer Find
The two police officials watched
Marshall Stead carefully as In
spector Cortelyou uttered the word
which signified so much. Each, in his
separate fashion, was wondering how

experience, and not being over
imaginative, was full of curiosity.
seen too much of life, as 1t related to
his own profession, to attach much
Importance to the first signs shown
by man suddenly charged with a
serious crime. but on this occasion
he watched the effect of his an
nouncement with lynxlike eyes. He
was prepared to see anything.
What the two watchers did see
was first a blank stare of utter
establishment and next rapidly in
creasing look of incredulous wonder
pass across the accused mans face.
He looked from one to the other, as
if he could not comprehend the
meaning of what Inspector Cortelyou
had said. Then he smiled. as II
some joke or trick were being play
ed upon him.
you don't mean that ?" he said.
Inspector CorteIyou regarded him
steadily. That is exactly what Is
meant. Mr.. Stead" he replied. I'VE
don't deal with these things in a jok-
ing spirit"
But this is nonsense" exclaimed
tne cashier. utter nonsense.
suppose you've got some definite
charge against me?"
TT would be utter nonsense II we
hadn't" replied the detective. I'VE
not only have a definite chane, but
definite warrant-you'd better
charge him." he continued, turning
to Illingwortb, who Immediately
produced document from a drawer.
"Sit down, Mr.. Stead-there's no
need to stand"
The inspector himself sat down,
and. procuring his cigar case, began
to smoke. But. Stead, noticing
everything without seeming to do SO,
observed that the chair which his
captor dropped into was between the
door and himself. And he knew that
he was as safely trapped as IL he
were locked up in the big safe at the
office.
Illingworth, solemn and stolid,
gave the prisoner the usual warn
ing. and read over the charge. 1t
was not a lengthy one, and the terms
were plain and simple-perhaps too
much so to the man who listened
to them. Stead was charged with
forging Q check for $50 pounds, ppr.

Stesd's Revelations

IF | chose | could tell you a great
deal" replied Stead, who felt more
and more nettled. Il came to tell
you something
Then l shall be very glad to hear
it, said the inspector. Come, SIR
i am known TO be rather eccentric
in speech and manner. If YOU can
assist me, pray do SO. l shall be
obliged to YOU
We'll, inspector" said Stead, some
what Modified by this, 1T will be IN
YOUR recollection that on the night
of the murder l called 1T the castle,
and went into the library to wait.
Now, for purposes of my own, l dld
not tell all / might have done at the
magisterial inquiry
"Ah, indeed?" said Inspector Cor
telyou.
no. When ! entered the library
continued Stead, Il Immediately
noticed that one of the windows
opening on the lawn was open. They
are French windows, as you know,
onening down to the ground.
THAT on the right hand side was
cpen, and the blind. slightly drawn,
was tapping. l crossed over and
closed ii, and drew down the blind.
Inspector Cortelyou took out a
notebook.
you don't mind if I make a memo
randum of what YOU tell me he
said. 1T will, of course, be useful.
"Oh. by no means" replied Stead.
"I intend. of course, to relate all this
at the adjourned hearing, but i
wished you to know now"
Just So said the detective. who
had been writing. Pray proceed.
Mr.. stead"
We'll" continued Stead. Gin turn
ing from the window l noticed
something lying on a chair. Some
thing, you understand, unusual"
"Ah. Unusual in that place--the
library? And what was it?" asked
Inspector Cortelyou, busy with his
pencil.
TT was a deer stalker hat"
Inspector Cortelyou continued to
write for a moment or two without
looking up or betraying any undue
interest.
"a deer stalker hat? All, probably
one of Sir Roberts, he said.
No" replied Stead who scarcely
understood the detectives manner.
at was certainly not one of Sir
Roberts, 1t was an old, much
wcrn. rather greasy hat-not at all
the sort of thing that Sir Robert
would have worn. It had been a
good haiti bore the name of A
good maker-Heath, of Oxford
street"
Inspector Corte1you smiled. You
would have been a credit to my pro-
fession, Mr.. Stead" he remarked.
"You know how to notice little
things. PRAY proceed"
Well continued Stead, who
drank in compliment of any sort with
avidity, "after-after the discovery
of the dreadful event."
you mean Sir Roberts MURDER"
interrupted the detective shortly.
Yes, after that-and, of course,
when the natural furry had sub
sided-I remembered the hat" said
Stead, land 1 went back to the lib
rary and put it in my pocket and
took it home"
Mention it to anybody" asked

Honestly and bravely spoken-and

cent Of genuine trade unionists will
in their minds approve that and adj
