White House are urging President
Coolidge to emulate John w. Davis
by taking a vacation in the Maine
woods or OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Sea. Thus far the President has
not consented. He likes the White
House and Washington, despite the
heat and thinks that it is fine place
to spend the vacation. A nice
vacation trip for themselves is the
idea of the reporters in their
solicitude for the President.
NATIONAL DEFENSE Day on
September II, marked by mobiliza-
ton Of all the nations armed forces,
will be observed as scheduled re-
CARELESS of the objection from Ger
tain parts of the country. Plans for
the gathering together of the coun-
try's military units on one specific
day were worked out by General
Pershing more than year ago
without any thought that a political
issue would result. Such is the
case, however, now that both the
Democratic presidential and Vice
Presidential candidates have de-
clared themselves opposed to the
Governments program.
SECRETARY HUGHES is re-
ported in dispatches from London as
being the best-dressed diplomat
among the scores gathered at the
reparations conference. The Amer
lean Foreign Minister probably never
imagined that upon the cut of his
morning coat would depend his bid
to fame in the European capitals.
He will be looked at more closely
when he gets back and hence
forward will have reputation of a
new sort to sustain.
AMERICAN AMBASSADORS are
dropping off like peach blossoms in
a wind storm. First there was
Cyrus f. Woods at Toxic, then
Charles Beecher Warren at Mexico
City and now it is reliably reported
that Myron T. Herrick at Paris is
soon to retire to private life. That
makes three fine plums available
for good party leaders after the
election, if the places are not filled
earlier, which is an excellent situa-
ton from political viewpoint.
WASHINGTON HAS a special in
terest in the Leopold-Loeb murder
trial in Chicago since DR.. William A.
White, the capitals most noted
specialist in mental diseases. was one
of the first ahenists called by the
defense. Dr. White is head of St.
Elizabeth's Hospital here, and is
noted for the marvellous cures he has
effected in mental cases.
GOOD NEWS FOR war veterans
has come from the Department of
Justice. It is especially interesting
to those who did time in the guard
house while in he Army or were
absent without leave. Attorney
General Stone rules that such time
can be counted as time spent in the
military service when figuring the
amount of bonus to which a veteran
is entitled The War Department
had ruled previously that this time
would have to be deducted from the
total service.
THE MOST IMPORTANT political
news of the week should come from
Atlantic City, where the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor is meeting to decide
whether it should stay on the fence
during the campaign or come out
flat-footed for one of the major
candidates. Whether or not the
labor vote can be delivered after
the decision is reached is another
question. Personally, Samuel Com
pers, veteran president of the
federation, is a Democrat, but many
of his political views are in accord
with those of Senator LaFollette
REPORTS TRICKLE into the
capital from Michigan to the effect
that Henry Ford become a candidate
for the Senate on the Republican
ticket Senator Couzens. who is a
candidate for reelection, has
jumped the regular Republican
ticket, leaving the organization short
of leaders in a doubtful state If
Ford should toss his hat in the ring
he would undoubtedly have
Coolidge's support in view of the
spectacular way in which the auto
manufacturer came out for the
reelection of the President
Men win arguments not by arguing
but with frank discussions.
A standing army runs into big
money.
Beauty that is skin deep seldom
fades-it Just washes away.
The human system is full Of
laughs. but too many folks never open
up the check valve
The conservatives and in-betweens
viii have to get radical and kick the
radicals out before anything is ac-
compliShed.
