the crowning of the mothers hopes,

otherwise might not have come true.
No one in syracuse was more sur

for a week before the result of the
final exams was made known she

pass. Suppose I shouldn't get
through after all that has been done
for me?" Was her thought in that
last week and it was not until a
newspaper man called and asked for
her photograph that she learned she
was the winner of the coveted prize.
At first she thought she would go
to New York and continue her art
studies which had progressed so
we'll at Syracuse under Prof. Scott,
but the latter was most anxious to
have her so abroad and when the
young artist came home and talked
it over with her mother. Mrs.

the last story so suddenly when the

months longer and include in her
experiences abroad, a sketching tour
through Southern France.

TOO MUCH ESPIONAGE

Ex-Attorney General Daugherty
now informs his fellow countrymen
that he is on the outside looking in
because he refused to turn traitor to
his country and turn over to bolshe-
vikian disciples like Wheeler and
Brookhart the records of the evil
dence secured by the department of
justice against communism in this
country.
Mr.. Daugherty's predecessor, Mr..
Palmer, gave out considerable con-
versation about saving the country
from bolshevism. In both instances
the department may have been SO
busy watching sinister influences
from Russia that it has not thorough
ly attended to its other work, Doubt
less there was need of looking after
the red prepagandists but there Is a
suspicion abroad in the country that
the department has been OVERRIDING

impression that 1t Is possible for too
many of that kind being in the en-

also is reminded of the old saying
that a dog that will fetch will carry.

Whether we favor the Republican
or the Democratic party there is
about the swinging to Coolidge
among the Republicans Of the coun-
try something that is heartening.
something which inspires greater
confidence in public sentiment.
We see an intelligent, honorable
American citizen, painstaking, pa
tient, modest in demeanor, called by
destiny to take up the burden which
had caused the death of his predeces-
scr. He came to his task resolved to
perform the duties to the best of his
ability. In some way people have in
unusual degree sensed the situation,
have wanted this man to make good,
have become convinced that he is
making good. though not saying
much about 1t.
People have had an endless tor
oars-but not by Coolidge-and
though they doubtless retain fond
ness for the dramatic, and still en-
terrain hopes OF this or that magic
panacea, their appetite for that sort
OF thing has been. fed up. 1t is evil
dent, too that they are impressed by
the effectiveness of the man at the
head of the administration. While
others are at odds he calmly goes his
way. working on lines which have
Teen shown to be reasonably safe
and sane. He is not fustered. When
he speaks, his words bear the stamp
Of sincerity and of common sense.
AS time passes people see that he
is making few mistakes, that his
vision sweeps beyond the milling and
mussing around; that heekeeps calm
in chaotic conditions; that he is a
leader with cool head, a steady
hand and an honest and intelligent
purpose.
Reason not having departed from
the public mind it comprehends that
here is leadership which 1t is good
for the country to have at this time.
from their party ties but among
those within tho lines of the Repub-
lican party there is apparent convic-
ton that here is too good a horse to
be snapped while crossing a turbu-
lent stream.
So It Is we see In those states
where there Is great unrest and
radical views turning to this quiet,
undramatic, unfinching figure in the
foreground at Washington. This
does not necessarily mean they will
never turn again to the witch doc
tors, but II does mean that they are
Yet capable of approaching In n
noticeable degree u real man when
they SEQ him.
Four years ago Johnson lost New
Jersey to General Wood by only
1214 votes. At this writing II APP
pears that Coolidge Will sweep the
state by more than ninety thousand
over johnson. Informed observers
in Pennsylvania tell us that, while
there were other features of minor
tho predominant spirit
which put an out-and- out Coolidge
delegate in the place of Pinchot
who. though protesting support for
Coolidge could not forget Pinchot,
was much like that i'm New Hamp-
shire which swept Senator Moses
aside because he would not pledge
himself to Coolidge. If this public
sentiment will remain as steadfast
as the man it now supports. not only
will he secure the nomination over
whelmingIy but will win the election
by majority substantial enough to
command the support of Congress,
which the President does not now
have.
