That they should have their ways of

That those grave evergreens, trans

AS that felled tree-the paper by your

Your name may not be blazoned on

It's power binds the fibre Of the sheet.
You saw the tree, its towering ring

Against the sky-what memories

Mr.. Coolidge Two Years In Office
On. Y. World)


There Is no gainsaying the popu-
1arity of this man whom the Nation
did not know in 1923. There is no
disputing. we believe, that this popu-
larity rests chiefly upon the Nations
estimate of the Presidents own
makeup as a man and upon the
happy swing of the country away
from the abnormalities of war and
toward the normalities of peace. For
1t is fair to point out that IL Mr..
Coolidge is an immensely popular
President, as The World believes he is.
Mr.. Coolidge is an immensely popular
President with little of his own pro-
posing written into the record of
these two years. At home Mr.. Cool
idge has fought chiefly for the Mellon
plan, for economy and for reorgan-
ization Of the Government bureaus
and departments. Congress has
knitted the Mellon plan, thrown the
soldiers bonus in the face Of the
Presidents economy proposals and
not even pretended to listen when he
talked about reorganization. Abroad,
the Presidents one positive and con-
sistently advocated recommendation
has been American membership in
the World Court at The Hague. To-
day, after two years of the Presi-
dents urging, on the World Court
issue there has never even been the
prospect of Senate vote.
Readjustment from war to peace at
home has a way of working itself out,
and to a marked degree Mr.. Coolidge
has been content to let things guide
themselves without active interfer-
ence. That method, 1t must be said,
cannot be applied as successfully
abroad, where an existing order has
been stirred to its depth, as 1t can
be applied at home. Three problems
challenge American leadership: a
race in naval armaments which still
continues, an appeal'from Europe for
aid in the solution of those questions
of reparations and security in which
we also have an interest, an insistent
demand from the Far East for an
overhauling of past promises to
China and a new code of fair play
between the East and West.
These problems address themselves
to Mr.. Coolidge. He is as well
equipped to deal with them, in the
matter of public confidence, as any
President could be. With a good issue
he has nothing to fear from partisan
ship or lethargy in the Senate.

Editorial Comment

Both the naval oil cases have now
been appealed. The Elk Hills case
lost by the Doheny interests in the
Federal Court at Los Angeles has
been appealed by the defendant. The
Government lost it's case against the
Sinclair interests in the Teapot Dome
trial at Cheyenne; but Federal Judge
Kennedy has granted the expected
appeal and both cases have started
on their way to the United States
Supreme Court, where in all prob
ability the final decisions will be
given. They were headed in that di-
rection from the beginning. The int
erests involved on both sides were
too great for these suits to stop in
the lower courts if any way could be
found of carrying them higher. 1t will
be a long time before the country
hears the last of Teapot Dome and
Elk Hills.-Public Ledger.

Annual Oyster Feast
Held by ENGLISH Tour,

The oyster feast at Colchester, Eng
land, which is held on October q, dates
back centuries and centuries, in fact,
to the time of the ancient Britons.
Julius Caesar, after his conquest of
the eastern counties of England,
founded town on the site of the
present Colchester, and the export of
oysters to Rome became the chief in
dustry. During the reign of Richard
| (1193), the monarch granted char
ter to the citizens giving them the sole
right for oyster fishing off large part
of the coast. In order to keep the
size OF the oysters up to standard, a
silver oyster was cast, which now re-
poses in the town hall, and it is illegal
to sell them smaller than the model.
AS the fame of COlchester's oysters
spread, it became customary to invite
well-known people from all over the
country. The ceremony takes place at
the town hall, at the expense of the
mayor. The duke of York was the
guest of honor last year, which wit
messed an epoch-making event. For
the first time in Colchester's history
the feast was presided over by lady,
for the city's civic head was
mayoress.

CHOOSING A WIFE

THERE was an article in the paper
L this evening on Choosing Wife
l didn't read 1t, for am not looking
for a wife, being already happily
stocked up for life 1 hope, but have
good many ideas on the subject II
l should ever get to the point OF need
If you buy suit of clothes that
doesn't fit or that you don't like, you
can give it to the janitor, or donate II
to the missionary society to go into
the barrel that the ladies of the church
are getting ready to send away at
Christmas time, or sell it at the annual
sorority rummage sale. An unsatisfac-
tory automobile. Or house dog can be
disposed of. A wife, even with our
present divorce laws, Is rather a per
manent possession and so should be
chosen carefully.
? My grandmother used to say when
giving advice to her grandsons which
they seldom asked for and never took,
that before the negotiations were
actually completed in possessing one
self of wife, it was wisest to see all
the faults and weaknesses possible.
After marriage one should close his
eyes and be blind to anything that
suggested imperfection.
Quite the opposite is frequently the
case. One uses his head when he buys
horse or motor car. He wants to
know something of the pedigree Of the
horse or the internal construction of
the car; he isn't carried away by the
results of careful currying on the one
hand or skillful painting on the other.
With wife 1t is too often a matter
Of sentiment or emotion, of passing
fancy for an attractive exterior-for
careful currying and skillful painting
as it were. He doesn't stop to con-
slider that it is going to be difficult to
dispose of her If she proves unsatis-

coat grows rough, or the paint scales.

excepting in appearance.

THERE is no English Hinman fam
i lily. Burke gives arms for Inman,
Hindman and Hyndman. A genealogist
Of the American Hinman family sug-
gests that Inman is the original form
Of the name for which Human is a
Cockney variation.
At any rate there was early a big
family of Humans in this country.
The first of the name here was Ser
geant Edward, who Is recorded In
Stratford, Conn, between 1850 and
1862. There is family tradition that
he was a sergeant-at-arms in the body
guard of King Charles /, and that that
is where he got his designation as SER
geant.
There Is record that he and Capt.
Charles Underhill, in Albany, offered
their services to Governor Stuyesant
to help the Dutch fight the Indians but
Stuyvesant turned down their offer,
saying that he considered the Indians
as good friends as the English.
Sedgeant Edward married Hannah,

THESE are the words of the man

Bunyan was born near Bedford,
England, in the year 1923. His ia

young man. John Bunyan followed the
same vocation. During his youth he
served in the gIeat civil war that en-
quilted his native country and his
change OF mind which led to deep re-

to his experiences as soldier.
Bunyan returned from the war with
a much more serious regard for life
than when he had entered in upon the
struggle as carefree young man. He
was greatly impressed with the truth
and Importance of religion, and he
shortly joined the Society of Ana

others. The Olympic games of today

and achieved considerable reputation
as preacher.
There were, at this time. severe
laws against any one who dissented
from the established church but these
statutes held no terrors for Bunyan.
He continued to preach in defiance of
them and eventually was apprehend-
ed by the authorities and sentenced
to serve II years In prison. During
these years, from 1860 to 1872, he de-
voted himself almost entirely to re
ligious meditation and to writing. The
first part of his celebrated Pilgrims
Progress was written in the Bedford
Jail.
Upon the expiration Of his sentence
Bunyan was released and became pas
tor of the community in which his
former preachings had resulted in his
falling. AS has so often been the
case. his jill confinement only served
to make him more popular and his
preaching services were attended by
great numbers and many new con-
verts were secured.
John Bunyan died in the year 1888,
while on a visit to London.
