COOLIDGE LUCK
! WORRIES DEMOCRATS
Pennsylvania Democrat Sends in
Slogan for Party Keep Cool

BY HARRY B. HUNT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.--That
intangible, mystical something that

that eerie influence which seems to
rive him all the breaks and Tor

designated as Coolidge Luck, is

other day up at Democratic head
quarters. What could be done
about it? Wasn't there some way
nv which the freaks of fate which
seem always to play into Cool
rdge's hands could be blocked?
After these speculations had pro
ceeded fruitlessly for half an hour,
one of the leaders, accepting as
futile any effort to identify and
waylay or gidnay the Coolidge
good luck charm, exclaimed:
"Aw-What's the use chewing
over Coolidge's luck? That doesn't
get us anywhere. What we've got
TO do is to find out what can hep
Davis. What does he need most?"
"Ill tell you," came the quick
answer. "He needs rabbits
foot"
Well, it's finally found. Not the
rabbits foot, but perhaps the best
available substitute for it; the Dem
ocratic answer to the G. O. ?. slo-
gan to keep Cool and Keep Cool
ldge."
Submitted by diligent Democrat
from the Republican stronghold Of
Pennsylvania the new Democratic
slogan seems so simple it's wonder
everyone hadn't thought of it be-
fore. But, as always, it's the clm-
pie things that are most overlooked.

NOT MERE DEMAGOGUEs
Eneland's Labor Ministers On Whole
, Are Well Educated

Strange as it may seem, the members
of this Labor government, even those
who came from the working ranks are,
not mere ignorant demagogues VINO
broke their way through by loud
Tnouthed violence and street-corner ora
torv but are on the whole quite as well
educated as their conservative oppo,
nents and, in many cases, more entitleu
N the term of intellectual than those
who speak with the Oxford accent,
writes Sir Philip Gibbs in the Worlds
Work.
~ Ramsay Macdonald himself has been
n lifelong student. Philip Snowden Is
book-worm. John X. Clynes carries
pocket Shakespeare with him on every
railway journey. And the sons OF theSe
men, or some of them, are actually at
Oxford "swatting" i'll way that is
rather distressing to their friends VINO
belong to the old tradition. This social
revolution will not seem so strange to
American readers who do not realize the
strength and endurance of the artistic
cratic structure of English life, but
truly it is amazing to. all English folk,
and to the die-hards of the old regime 1t
seems the beginning of bolshevism. 1t
is certainly the beginning OF new era,
not without danger ahead because of the
extreme forces pressing behind the
present leaders. / happen to know some
of those leaders like Ramsay Macdonald
and Philip Snowden and / know them
TO be men of moderation who believe in
constitutional reform and not at all in
revolution by force, but they are also
men who will adopt new methods OF
work and governance and are impatient
of the slow and cautious and formal
WAYS of the conservative tradition. The
rapidity with which they have recog-
nized Russia, cut down the budget, and
attacked the subject of unemployment at
home and policy abroad has taken the
breath away from the permanent Off
Gals and made Whitehall feel like Wall
street in time of financial crisis.
Meanwhile the humorists in high
places are waiting with a mingled sense
of agony and amusement for the next
state ceremony, when Tom GriffithS Of
the steel smelters' union directs the
peers and peeresses to their places with
a white wand, when Jack Davidson of
the iron founders union orders the state
trumpeters to SQUAD the fanfare, and
when Johnny Parkinson of Wigan, now
comptroller of the kings household is
confronted by strike of royal servants
because he calls the mistress of the
robes my DEAR" shakes hands with the
flunkeys and cuts down the wine allow
ance of the kings coachmen. At pri-
waite dinner parties the old regime is
inventing gossip of that kind and laugh
