SOMETHING HAPPENED

People have been told they have no
interest in good government; that
virtuous conduct In office "arouses
only moderate interest in the great
intelligent electorate" that what
people are interested in Is the spec
tacular. the sensational. the "go-get-
ter" who isn't at all nice in his
methods: In the campaigner whose
speechmaking is an athletic exercise.
whose eloquence finds vent along
with more or less Spite and much
gestlculation: that politics Is some
thing with which no refined person
should have anything to do.
The vote received by Calvin Cool
idge reveals the falsity Of such con-
illusions. Not only has he attended
to business. kept steadily and intelli-
gently on the Job. but he apparently
hasn't a dramatic instinct in his
makeup" unless telling the truth
in q commonsense way at the oppor-
tune moment Is that.
Then we. the people. are supposed
to endure in office only such as make
promises they do not expect to fulfill.
This has not been the custom of
President Coolidge. He performs
and places his reliance In perform
ance.
He has been accused of collision In
corruption and permitted the facts to
speak for themselves: he has been
charged with incompetency and kept
right on proving competent. He has
been charged with lacking leader
ship. but long before election it be-
came apparent that his partys sue
cess depended on him very largely.
What has happened, IL anything?
Are the women voters more level
headed than have been the males?
Has It come about that the voters
have actually been informing them
selves respecting what is going on?
That they have been so DESTROYS OF
obtaining information that they paid
a dollar per ticket for the privilege of
hearing LaFollette only to vote
against him at the polls:
Anyhow some of the supposedly
popular conceptions of what consti-
tutes a successful office-holder have
a shock. The cause? Per-
haps it's Just Coolidge.

MORAL CODE FOR SCHOOLS

Most educators have long recog-
nized the lack of what may be term
ed spiritual values in the public
schools and many have been the
methods suggested for supplying the
need. Golfers has launched move
ment for the establishing Of moral
code, one that may be agreed upon
by all denominations"
Regarding this. Doctor Thomas.
Names commissioner of education,
has written Golfers emphasizing the
need of some method for intoxicating
deeper spiritual values along with
the fundamentals Of education and
neatly expressing his conclusion that
right now character is more needed
than brains. OF the latter he be-
lieves the world has enough and to
spare.
These efforts ought to culminate in
some practical procedure, a result
greatly to be desired.

The government in Persia has TAX
en- heed of Uncle Sans insistence
that those guilty of the murder of
Major Tmbrie at Teheran should be
punished. Executing simply the COM
mon soldier and letting off two
guiltier than he and condemned with
him for the murder, one Of whom was
a descendant of Mohamet, was in
tolerable. BY carrying out the SEN
tence following the protest of the
United States the present admins
tration in Persia may incur serious
trouble for themselves. On the other
hand it may dawn on the Moham-
medan comprehension that there Is
need of discretion in killing infidels,
If they happen to be representatives
of this country.

What would you do, and how would
you feel.
If you had a lollypop big as a wheel.
With a stick as long as a great
broom handle.
And twice as thick as a tallow
candle?
Now I guess you remember what
happened in the last story, little
readers. The bunny boy was in the
Ragged Rabbit Giants castle. IL you
don't. Yes. and Furthermore, that
big kind giant had just given the
little rabbit an immense iollypop.
Yes. he had, and, if you don't re-
member. ask Dad. He Knows!
Don't be sad because you can't
hold it," laughed the Ragged Rabbit
Giant. as the little rabbit leaned
against the chair and tried his best
to keep the lollypop from falling to
the floor. Il wouldn't let 1t topple
over. 1t would break to smither-
eens," went on the kind bunny giant,
still holding the stick IN his strong
right hand"
Maybe if YOU can pull out the
stick l can roll it home like a hoop,
sighed the bunny boy.
"Ha, hal" laughed the big man. You
never heard such a hearty laugh

GETTING THEIR NUMBERS

The public is in a way to measure
the effect Of public sentiment. IL the
public chooses to express that senti-
ment in the matter of reckless driv-
ing of automobiles.
Returning from the Bowdoin-
Maine football game, Saturday eve
ming. in the long procession Of cars
there was quite emphatic expression
Of sentiment on occasions when Unfit
drivers kept cutting around, al
though the pace of the procession
was about thirty miles.
There goes -" Look at
him on that curve! He can't see
who's coming" Its too bad to put
other folks necks in peril" Eyes,
he's got a car that couldn't pass this
on the road and so he tries it now"
These were some of the remarks
overheard, remarks of intelligent
people. One offending party was
recognized. One might infer that he
considered himself "some punkins," a
view in which not all his ncighbors
conceded.
We wondered whether he really
was getting ahead as fast as he
thought, whether his business asso-
ciates, the social circle in which he
moves wouldn't in some way find OPP
portunity to express their Indignation
because of his recklessly imperilling
the lives of other people. Some ef-
feet like this should help toward the
solution of the highway safety prob
lens. In process of time people get
the number" of such persons. and it's
not a cause for pride on the part of
the person.

But the little rabbit didn't laugh.

Please remember, little reader. what
