Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-06-19

Confidence in Coolidge is the most
important and outstanding fact in the
political situation today, and this con-
fidence is as fine compliment to the
American people as it is to the Presi-
dent
1t was President Marion Leroy Bur-
ton Of the University of Michigan
who said the final word on the per-
sonal worth OF Coolidge in his nom
mating speech. Tall and scholarly
and eloquent Doctor Burton said he
came not as one engaged in political
activity but as personal friend to
tell the convention why the President
should succeed himself. Then fol-
lowed a mastery analysis of strik-
ing and many-sided character and a
tribute such as only loving and I'M
derstanding friend could pay. He pro-
nounced his friend Tin the most thrill
ing sense Of the term an American,
who has been thinking America, be-
lieving America and living America"
And he nominated "the virile man
the stanch American-the real hui
man being-Calvin Coolidge"
T%HE outstanding plank in the Cool
i idge platform, SO far as public in
terest is concerned, is probably the
world court plank Here is its exact
text:
1.-THE Republican party reaffirms its
stand for agreement among the ma
tons to prevent war and preserve
peace AS an important step in this
direction we indorse the permanent
court of international justice and
favor the adherence of the United
States to this tribunal, as recommend
ed by President Coolidge. This gov
eminent has definitely refused mem
bership in the League of Nations and
to assume any obligations under the
covenant Of the league. On this we
stand"
Mrs. JOHN d. SHERMAN of Estes
lVl Park Colo. was elected presi-
dent of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs Wednesday at the Los
Angeles convention, succeeding Mrs
Thomas G.. Winter of Minneapolis
The General Federation, with head
quarters In washington, has nation
wide membership of 100000 which
is non-partisan and non-sectarian. It
Is easily the most influential body Of
H., Tx,f% rs 90
tivities are manifold. Its political
power is shown by the fact that 1t was
large factor in the passage at the
last session of congress of the child
labor Constitutional amendment reso-
luton, the McCormick-Hawes act pro-
viding for wild-life reservations along
the Upper Mississippi and the forestry
act. Mrs. Sherman has long been a
leader in the Federation and has ma
tion-wide acquaintance.
TIVE thousand doctors descended
Il upon Chicago early in the week
for the convention of the American
Medical association and gave the pub
lie much scientific Information with
out fees. Gland transportation, de-
clared the surgeon, was no good all
the glands of all the animals in Noahs
Ark cannot increase the span of mans
life or bring youth to old age. In
sulin, asserted the doctor, does not
cure diabetes and does not remove the
necessity for dieting, but it does bring
back lost weight and strength and al
lows the patient to resume more
normal life. Warning was sounded
against the powder puff, the hair dye,
and the freckle lotion as dissemina-
tors of skin troubles rather than aids
to beauty. The cosmetics which
American women use yearly to the ex-
tent of over $500, 100000 contain mer-
curry, arsenic and even paraphenylen-
diamin
1t was said right out in meeting
that if no effort is made at birth con-
troll nature will take charge of the
situation by eliminating those least
able to resist and the human plans
for socialistic altruism will be wrecked
in the struggle for mere existence.
Resolutions denounced those sections
of the national prohibition acts which
limit the amount of alcohol a physi-
clan may legally prescribe.
And DR.. William Allen Pusey of
Chicago, newly installed president,
said that medicine, like the whole so
cial organization, is proceeding to-
ward dangerous goal where govern
ment does for the individual what it
thinks the individual should do for
himself. "The day will come he
said, when there will not be enough
of the population left for production
to care for the administrators"
