DAVIS DOUBLE

Member of Secret Service Is

BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-FolksI
who know John w. Davis and have
business at the White House oc-
casionally get the shock of their
lives as they enter the executive
offices.
At these times they are likely toI
pinch themselves to see if they are
awake. or rub and blink their eyes
to be sure their vision does not be-
fool them.
Some fall into sort of esctatic-
trance in the belief that the cleo
ton and inauguration must already
have occurred and that Davis has al
ready taken up the duties of presi-
dent For they'll swear 1t was
none other but Davis whom theyI
saw entering the presidents office
n. crossing the corridor into BaG-
com Slemp's sanctum.
However, it isn't Davis they see,
He hasn't called at the White House
for wears. The vision they have be-
held is none other than Dick Jarvis,
for more than a dozen years a mem
her of the White House secret ser
vice staff.
Dick. like Davis, is handsome
oent. He's about the same size and
build firm feshed, rudy checked,
alert and vigorous. Within the

Senator Brewster
Talks to Endeavorers
At BANGOR Meet

Summary of Address or Senator
Ralph o. Brewster before Christian
Endeavor Convention at Bangor on
Patriots Day, Saturday, April 10.
We exhibit patriotism when we
salute the flag but if our patriotism
ends there We render our country
little service i'll return for all the
privileges and advantages which 1t
bestows upon us. If American DEM
ocracy disintegrates, as not a few
doleful prophets now predict. it will
be solely due to the failure OF the
ordinary citizen to interest himself
in governmental affairs. American
institutions as we have known them
can be preserved in this century only
by the Intelligent and active interest
of each individual citizen in the con-
duct of his government.
History shows clearly that govern
ments have begun to topple when
they have relied too largely upon
men rather than principles. Both the
Republican and the Democratic par
ty in recent years have suffered as
a result of their devotion to person.
alities rather than principles.
We hear it often said in these days
that President Coolidge Is stronger
than his party and must be relied
upon Tor success. ITeSluenI Cooi-
idge's entire career End philosophy
of life indicate that he would be the
last to wish such an emphasis. His
predominant Characterization are
those of self effaccment rather than
assertion.
This trait was shown in his recent
appeal from the White House steps
to the Law Enforcement Conference
of Women for an increased empha-
sis upon obedience rather than en-
forcement law. There is no trace OF
of "Big stick" in his none the less
flint-like character.
Two thousand years ago the most
remarkable man who ever walked
this planet, the one whose name
your great organization commemor-
ates, said simply and humbly. why
callest thou me- good? There is none
good but one. that Is, God"
Let us remember that the Anglo
Saxon tradition is a government OF
laws rather than of men. Let us re-
solve to do our individual share IN
the building of an honest govern
ment, rememberig the necessity for
patriotic interest in our country IN
peace no less than war.

And away they went and by and
by they came to a bridge that span
ned a little stream, called Watercress
Brook in which lived speckled trout
named Mr.. Fin.
Hello. Mr.. Lucky Lefthindfoot!"
he shouted. Mrs. Fin is very busy
making hollow on the sandy bot
tom at the curve in the bank, where
the water runs quietly. When she
has laid her eggs she will cover
them over with little pebbles" and.
with a flap of his tail, Mr.. Fin swan
away to see how his careful wife was
getting along.
The two little bunnies hoped back
in the Luckymobile where Mr.. Gut
nea Pig was sitting quietly on the
back seat. and away they went
across the bridge to Carrot City.
Just as they turned the corner, a
peddler came by with pushcart
full of big ripe tomatoes. And, oh.
dear me. Before he could get out OF
the way the Luckymobile ran into
him. Over went the little cart and
out went all the tomatoes. one of
them hitting a Policeman Cat right
in the eye.
And in the next story I'll tell you
what that Policeman Cat did, for he
was dreadfully angry. you can well
imagine.

BUSINESS AND MORAL TONE

On taking up leadership in Har-
wards "drive" for it, Graduate
School Of Business, Bishop Lawrence
seems to have been unduly concerned
to make plain that this undertaking
10 neither commercial nor sordid.
When We consider the factor which
business has been in extending every
kind of civilization which has been
extended, how intimately It Is OF the
warp and woof Of our lives, there
appears little reason to regard the
bishops effort as necessarily COM
mercial or sordid.
To such consideration the bishops
remarks invite us in these well
chosen words which follow his some
what unnecessary preamble:
millions of our people are in busi-
ness; indeed, every woman who goes
shopping is a trader. The moral tone
Of the great body Of the people Is
closely allied with the moral tone In
the business world, and our ethical
standards are more or less depend
ent upon the care and intelligence
with which we carry out these prac-
teal duties of life.
"Or to put the subject in another
way, looseness in business methods,
crookedness and dishonesty are more
often due to slackness Of thought and
general ethical lassitude than to
conscious wrongdoing. Indeed one Of
the great needs Of the people Of this
country is the capacity t" think hon
estly and straight, and thinking is OF
the very essence Of good business.
We clergymen are preaching con-
tinually upon the worth and neces-
sity of honesty and straightforward
ness. Even more effective than SER
mons may be the sending into the
community Of young men well edu-
Gated, trained in good business meth
DDS, and above all that capacity to
think straight. who as they rise into
positions of influence. will be leading
the next generation to carry out these
nrinciples"
