THE PICNIC LOVERS

One of the chief attractions of the
summer for many people is that it
encourages the picnic habit This ap-
peals especially to the women folks,
possibly because there does not have
to be any dishwashing afterward.
Women picnic lovers would deny
that their love for picnics is based on
such material considerations. To them
some pretty scene in the big outdoors
adds an inspiring touch of romance,
so that even plain bread and butter
sandwiches taste like some nectarian
food fit for the gods.
The attitude of the men toward pic
MICS is less enthusiastic, particularly
when it appears that the heavy lunch
baskets have to be carried to some in
accessible spot before the correct at
mosphere is secured. However, the
men folks like it better than they will
admit, particularly as it gives them a
chance to display before the admiring
women folks their ability in the arts
of camping and woodcraft.

ANOTHER PROSPERITY MOVE

Another step toward the develop
ment of Colorado as great oil state
was taken in Washington last week
with a demonstration of the extract
ion of petroleum from shale which
was witnessed by the President, the
Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary
of the Interior, the Secretary of Com
merce, and members of the house and
senate.
The demonstration, which was sug-
gested and arranged by Senator
Lawrence C. Phipps, was also wit
messed by members of the Presidents
commission who recently inspected
naval shale oil reserve No. 1 in Gar.
field county.
From comments by the commission.
ers, including Rear Admiral Hilary P,
Jones, it is believed certain that
their report which will be submitted
to the President within a few days
will recommend the construction by
the government of plant for the ex,
traction Of oil from Colorado shale.
Construction and operation of this
plant would not only be of foremost
importance in the development of the
state and in increasing its prosper
| ity, but would be of national moment
I in that it would establish an almost
ineXhaustible oil supply for the navy
Rapid development by private capital
of shale lands not included in the nav
al reserve would be certain to follow
action by the federal government.
The demonstration at Washington
was conducted by President Victor C
Anderson and Prof. w. V. Norris OF
the Colorado School of Mines at Col
den where a small oil extraction plant
is already in operation, and by Eugene
d. Milliken of Denver. In discussing
the Importance of shale oil develop
ment Senator Phipps told his distin
guished audience of the ground in
Colorado and told of the steps which
other countries have taken toward de
veloping their shale oil resources.

A $500 EDITORIAL

Among the Pulitzer journalism prlz- es recently announced for the 1923 wear, was a $500 award made for the best editorial of the year. The win ming editorial captioned "Who made Coolidge?", was written by Frank Buxton, managing editor of the Boston Herald and it appeared Septemebr "A, 1923. a short time after President Cal win Coolidge took the oath of office. The editorial is so striking from every viewpoint that it is herewith reproduc- ed:
 Who made Calvin Coolidge?
 Margaret Foley, of course. When Lewis Greenwood was president of the Massachusetts senate he opposed wom- en suffrage. She opposed his re-elec- tion in his district and prevailed. Sen ator Coolidge became President Cool idge on Beacon Hill and the signals were set clear for the road to gover- norship.
 Who made Calvin Coolidge?
 Edwin U. Curtis, of course. Wher he was a sick man in that old brick huilding at the dead-end of Pember ton Square the needless policemen
Seward daily gateway., 1924-06-06

went on strike to the refrain, "Hail, Hail, the Gangs all Here" The Sick man showed the strength of the stall wart, until finally Governor Coolidge sent a telegram to Samuel Gompers that tapped it's way into national prominence and is today sort of a Magma Charta of the peoples rights.
 Who made Calvin Coolidge?
 James Lucey, the Northampton cobbler of course. No explanation or argument is necessary here, but mere ly a reminder. The Herald published fac-simile a few days ago of Presi- dent Coolidge's letter to him which said: If it were not for you, l would not be here"
 Who made Calvin Coolidge?
 Frank w. Stearns, of course. With as close an approximation to second sight as we may expect in these days and with an ability to see around the corner years before Finstein told us how rays of light are bent, this sub stantial, self-made, self respecting ole Boston merchant, with his quiet sense of obligation to the community, dis cerned qualities which hardly anybod! else glimpsed. To go to the republi can convention he left a governor, onl!
Seward daily gateway., 1924-06-06

to come back to pay his respects to a potential vice president.
 Who made Calvin Coolidge?
 Senator Crane, of course. He made Calvin by showing him, in precept and practice, the way of wisdom and by vouching for him in high places where his chance say-so was as good as his oath or bond. To the younger men he gave that mixture of personal attach ment and respect of which he was none too political, but always of mighty ad- vantage to the few who won it
 Who made Calvin Coolidge?
 The republican party of Massachus- etts of course, canny organization with some bourbonism, some demo- cracv. some vision, some solid tradl- tions. and no end fgenuine appre- citation of the merits of a trustworthy man. It always lined up behind him solidly even when he displayed that reticence which to the unknowing was some evidence of ingratitude and to the knowing was merely Coolidgeism'
 Who made Calvin Coolidge? The people of Massachusetts, of Massachusetts, of course. They took him at more than his own modest val nation, whether he wanted to be town officer or governor. They had that which thousands call a blind faith Tn him. More thousands call it passion ate intuition.
 Who made Calvin Coolidge? i His mother, of course. Who en- dowed him with her own attributes; father that taught him prudentla ways with all the quiet vigor of the old Greeks, who preached moderation in everything; his school and his col lege: his classmate, Dwight Morrow and his guest of a day or two at th' White House, William F. Whiting.
 Who made Calvin Coolidge?
 Calvin Coolidge, of course. Fron the reflective shoemaker and furlou Miss Foley to the complacent Franl w. Stearns and the watchful and dis corning senator from Dalton cam some of the makings but the man him self had the essentials of greatness
