PRESIDENT TO SPEND
SUMMER IN CAPITAL
Numerous Offers of Temporary
white Houses Fail to
Weaken Stand.

President Coolidge likes Washing
ton, the weather suits him and he
finds the White House comfortable
and attractive. and he has no inten-
ton Of deserting the Capital and es-
tablishing a summer White House
somewhere else this summer
Numerous offers have been received
at the White House, especially since
his cold, of homes in many different
sections of the country. Many of
his close friends and advisers have
suggested to him that he go away to
some cool. quiet spot for long rest
when Congress adjourns. Some have
gone SO far as to suggest Just the
right spot"
Agreeable In CAPITAL.
But, to all the suggestors and gen
erouS offers the President has held
firmly to his belief in the District of
Columbia. Several weeks ago, while
discussing his plans for the coming
summer, he said that he has always
found it agreeable here in the sum-
mer and that he doubted very much
if he and Mrs. Coolidge would be bet
ter satisfied or more comfortable
elsewhere. He reminded his listeners
that he assumed the duties of Presi
dent right at the peak of Washing
tons Warmest season, and the White
House was pleasant to live in. and
the grounds, with the hundreds of
shade trees and soft lawns. were all
that he could desire.
The matter of going away, even
for a short period, has been Sug-
gested to the President many times
Only yesterday he told a group Of
callers that Washington suited him.
Several of his closest friends are
trying to prevail upon him to take
a short vaca acation-probable for two
or three weeks. They contend that
he needs a rest and that he will not
get 1T until he gets complete change

that they would feel better about
the Presidents health, if he would
only indulge in some form of outdoor

soviet government for permission to

MY DEAR JOHN:
We are certainly in kind of mess

My boy, your mother is not iii in
any way. She is hale and strong
but, like many women who lead very
sheltered lives and grow old in con-

hard to handle.
Priscilla Bradford, who is abso-
lutely younger addition of your
mother with added decorations in the
shape of love for scandal mongering
and unkindly comments, has helped
foster all the bad habits that came
down to your mother from her puri-
tanical ancestry.
Don't for one moment think, Jack,
my boy, that I am not fully apprccia-
tive of the sterling qualities of that
Mayflower stock from which you
came, but even as old fogey doctor
as | am / cannot have lived to the

WAITING TO HEAR FROM
,s. MIR, FALL

Albert B. Fall, formerly Secre-
tary of the Interior who has been
summoned by subpoena process to
appear as a witness before the
Senate committee which is investi-
eating the lease of the Teapot
Dome naval oil reserve to a pri-
waite company, says he will go to
Washington and make a full state
ment of his connection with the
affair and of the facts as he knows
them.
This is we'll. but how much bet
ter it would have been for Mr..
Falls own sake il he had antici-
pated the formal legal summons
by going voluntarily to Washing
ton before or after Senator Cara
way, Democrat, OF Arkansas. had
made his public charges of alleged
official corruption in connection
with THE letting of the lease, and
demanding the opportunity to tell
his story.
Whatever may be the truth
about the lease, 1t was placed long
ago by critics and politicians in
verbal sittings that gave 1t all the
outward aspects of national
scandal. These commentators
have repeatedly made Mr.. Fall the
foreground figure and outstanding
object of their ugly portraitures.
Under the circumstances Mr.. Falls
best and most faithful friends can
scarcely feel otherwise than that
he made a serious mistake in not
going to Washington and insisting
to the committee that he be heard
in a frank and full presentation of
his side of the case. Instead OF
that he has elected to assume an
attitude that Enthusiastically places
him in a disparaging light in the
popular mind.
The resignation of Archie Roose-
welt from the vice presidency Of
the lessee oil company, and his
public statement that he severed
his relations with the company be
cause he had Learned some things
which. while not proven facts as
yet, corroborated certain suspicious

perative than before that the truth
about the lease should be found
and made public Roosevelt's ac-
ton was bound to have the effect
of strengthening any surmises OF
wrongdoing outsiders may have
had.
The shadow that rests on Mr.
Fall has been deepened. He Is the
one man above all others to whom
the public looks now for clearing
Taway of doubts and for an answer
to the seriohs filings and innuen-
does made by Senator Caraway In
public hearing. Mere denial o.
these Is neither an answer nor q

Whether the letting of the OF
lease was a good thing or a bad
thing from the standpoint OF thu
public interest, the circumstance!

STATE OWNERSHIP AND PRIVATE
INDUSTRY

The permanent closing of three
large mills in North Dakota, the
Nlargest Of the three being at
jamestown, the alleged chief
cause Of such action being in
ability Of the privately owned
mills to compete successfully
against the state owned mill,
seems bound to bring into the
foreground once more, the con-
troversy between the friends and
the critics Of state socialism
which ragged in North Dakota SO
violently from 1913 to 1919. The
gains and the losses from the
experiment will be checked up,
conclusions drawn, and it will be
difficult to keep the question out
Of the coming political cam
paigns.
Friends Of state ownership will
argue that the program has not
yet been given fair trial, while
critics will point out that the
avowcd purpose Of the state
mill, to raise the price of wheat
to the grower and lower the
price Of flour to the consumer,
has failed utterly in fact, and
that instead, the mill is proving
costly experiment to the people,
as we'll as driving out of business
one Of the largest private indus
tries in the state and one that
pays heavy taxes to support the
states government, schools,
roads, etc.
At the time Of the recall con-
vention, the trainers of the In
dependent Voters Association
platform decided it the wiser
and faircr policy to include in the
platform compromise, namely
to complete the state flour mill
at Grand Forks and give it fair
trial. This has been done, and
while the trial has been brief, a
demand will be made. for an ac-
counting, an audit of gains and
losses, benefits and detriments.
The people Of North Dakota
will ask themselves whether they
wish further trial of the social
istic theory that state owner
ship of the larger industries will
give better distribution and
better production of wealth than
now prevails, or whether it
would not be wiser for the peo-
pie to stand once more for pri-
vate ownership under private
initiative, and for commercial
competition of free individuals
with fair supervision or regula-
ton by the central government.
The present desire of a large and
outspoken number undoubtedly is
for the least possible interfer-
ence with industrial competition
between private individuals or in
corporated groups Of private in
dividuals, and it seems impossi-
bic to convert their minds into
any confidence hat state social
ism can ever succeed or that it
will accomplish its purported aim
to convert into general benefit
what is now the gain of the COM
paratively few.
The people Of the state and the
tax payers, both friends and
critics of the socialistic expert
ment will think deeply on this
problem during the next few
months.-Jamestown Alert.
