another example Of the perfect

Coolidge. if he talked, would talk
of the best interests Of people
other than himself
But between the Cupid's bow and
its string is a long. evenly curved
line, rather thick, as seen in the
front view picture. That line
means that Coolidge neither talks
nor eats to excess.
Finally, we must note the Cool
idge chin and forehead. They go
together, If it were not for the

From his forehead, we may ex-

But since both are equal and

of years gone by, the people whose abored breathing

INJUNCTION AND ABATEMENT

Question: How, where and by whom may bills of

Iniunctions Gain Popularity

The popularity of njunctions is increasing with the
officials, not with the vioators Reports from various
parts of the state indicate that the padlocks being
applied to 1awless liquor joints much frequently
now But there still many counties in which the
injunction method is seldom used We suggest to our
readers that they examine the records interview the
officials to find out just how many inuncons have been
applied to liquor joints in their counties The in
junction method is easily applied and effective that
there is for failure to close places where pro-
hjbition laws disregarded. Failure to the in
junction to lock up awless liquor premises is less
able than failure to lock up dangerous criminals. Or
failure to lock the bank night when the cashier goes
home.

of criminal prosecution. An injunction may issue

MERCHANT MARINE

The Democratic party condemns the
vacIlatng policy Of the Republican ad-
ministration in its failure to develop an
American flag shipping policy. There has
been a marked decrease In the volume or
American commerce carried In American
vessels as compared to the record under
a Democratic administration.
We oppose as Illogical and unsound all
efforts to overcome by subsidy the handi-
cap to American shipping and commerce
imposed by Republican policies.
We condemn the practice Of certain
American railroads In favorng foreign
ships. and pledge ourselves to correct such
determinations. We declare for an Amer
ican-owned merchant marine. American
built and manned by American crews,
which Is essential for naval security In
war, and is a protection to the American
farmer and manufacturer against exees-

We declare that the government should

will insure the accomplishment OF these
purposes and to continue such operation
SO long as 1t may be necessary without
obstructing the development and growth
of a privately owned American flag ship

AGRICULTURE

During the four years OF Republican
government the economic condition OF
the American farmer has changed from
comfort to bankruptcy. with all Its
attendant miseries. Tho chief causes
OF this are;
(a) The Republican party policy of
Isolation In internationar AFFAIRS has
prevented Europe from getting back
to its normal balance. and. by leaving
unsolved the economic problems abroad,
has driven the European city population
from industrial activities to the soil
in large numbers in order to earn the
mere necessaries OF life. This has de-
prived the American farmer OF his nor
NAL export trade.
CD The Republican policy OF a pro-
hibitive tariff, exemplified In the Ford
ey-McCumber law, which has forced
the American farmer. with his export
market debilItated, to buy manufactured
goods at sustained high domestic lev
els. thereby making him the victim of
the profiteer
(c) The Republican policy OF high
transportation rates. both rail and wa
ter which has made II impossible for
the farmer to ship his produce to mar
ket at even a living pront.
