washington Interested But Has To Look On

How man running for president
can keep his mind on the intricate
details of budget estimates on cleo
ton day is beyond me- Lord de-
clared. "But that fellow did it. His
brain was functioning as keenly as
IT he didn't have any interest in the
world outside these budget figures.
/ know them pretty we'll, but he
caught me up on one or two items.
Believe me, he travels some!" 2",
That superstition has no part in
the Coolidge makeup also was DEM
onstrated on election day, when that
date, was chosen for the removal of
the summer decorative shrubs around
the parapet of the wings thanking
the White House and the substitu-
ton of winter greenery.
The summer shrubs consisted of
two score or more green bay trees,
worshiped by the ancients as SYM
bols of victory and success.
During the early hours Of cleo
ton day these trees of good omen
were carted from their places.
And in their stead we're placed
dozens Of cedars, signifying gloom,
melancholy, grief!
But no such interpretations were
read into them by Coolidge. The
symbolism which many saw in the
change never occurred to him. To
him the change was only part of
the days work; a full chore which
the White House attendants looked
after. And election day seemed as
good day as any other to do it.

Washington, Nov. 21.-One day in
every four years Washington takes
back seat.
On all other days Washington may
strut and put on airs as the nations
capital, but on election day it be-
comes merely bystander among
cities, an onlooker, Watching and
wondering what the verdict of the
country is to be, but itself without
any voice in the outcome.
For in voteless Washington there
IS no election. No city in the coun-
try is SO intimately affected by the
results of the nations balloting, but
the smallest town or crossroads
hamlet has more say-so in the result,
The whole structure of official life,
around which the governmental and
social life of the city will revolvc
Tor four years, is decided for Wash
ington by Walla- Walla, Keokuk and
Kalamazoo.
So on election day, when other ci.
ties are rampant with the spirit of
an enfranchised electorate, empow.
cred to make or mar their well-bc-
ing as they may choose, Washington
plods along in its old rut, waiting,
watching, neutrality-suspicious., per.
haPs-but without q vote to cast or
word to say.
Apparently the least interested
man in Washington, during the per-
iod when the country was ballotine
to decide the next president of the
United States, was the slight, Sc
vere-faced, sandy-haired man whom
the outcome most closely affected.
Whether it was his supreme con-
fidence in the result or whether it
was the New England discipline by
which his mind is ruled that enabled
him to proceed with "business as
usual" possibly he himself doesn't
know. Probably both had hand in
it.
Anyway, while in other cities
voters were rushing to the polls and
strife and suspense regarding the
outcome were monopolizing mems
minds, President Coolidge reported
at his office on schedule, ready to
tackle normal days; grist in the
executive mill.
General Lord, director Of the bud
get, who was first on the presidents
election day schedule of callers,
emerged from the executive sanctum
after an hours session frankly

Six years have possed in making
OF a world since dawn of peace,
Six years of fear and wailing
And prayers that strife may cease
But, if in matchless wisdom
You send the scorge again
God, for the life of freedom
Send US your dauntless men.
Bred in the hope Of nations,
Sired in the brain and Drawn
OF those who carried our banners
high
In the light of freedoms dawn.
Sons of the Worlds War veterans
Sons that can ne'er be priced
Sturdy and strong in battle
Meek in the lowly Christ.
Give US an understanding
If war with its ceaseless fears.
Let US kneel again on that foreign
field
With its crosses; row on row
And pledge anew to our country
The work shall never cease
That they gave their all to conquer:
Then grant US, o Lord, thy peace.
Let US pledge to- the living veterans
And the memory of those who died,
To work for the peace Of nations
Though our sons be sorely tried
But, if from the tattered patchwork
Of the world, comes war again
Send to the folds of Old Glory
Sons of our free-born men.

TRUE PUBLIC OPINION
Washington POst)

y" oSSJ
A New York cleric declares that
public opinion is no longer COM
petent guide in morals. He is
wrong. When it comes to the real
things of life, in America at least,
public opinion holds fast to the
standards that have been MAIN
tanned through the ages. 1t still
rises in righteous wrath against
corruption in public office. 1t
still demands justice for all ele-
ments Of the population. 1t still
resents exploitation by profiteers.
1t still condemns indecency. Pub
lie opinion is the champion of the
virtues, and can be counted on to
maintain that championship
against all attack.
The trouble with the New York
cleric is that he mistakes the
chatter Of New York for the deep
voice of the American people.
