And as matter of fact, Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.. Kel-
logg became close friends after Mr.. Coolidge came
TO Washington as vice president. Hence the APP
pointment to the Court of st. James. Moreover,
Ambassador Kellogg has made good in the eyes
of the President. And he's had good training
AS ambassador to London he has had to extend
the office all over the continent. He has been
more than ambassador-he has been diplomat,
mediator and intermediary The position of the
United States In respect of European affairs, in
being in and yet not officially in, has required OF
him fine discretion and patience.
Should congress pass the bill for the reorgani-
cation of the executive departments-andt the Pres
ident favors the bi-there would be many changes
In the activities of the several secretaries. Chief
among the recommendations of the joint commit
tee on reorganization is the establishment of a
department to be known as the department
Of education and relief and the concentration
der that department Of the scattered agencies
which now perform work In the fields of public
health, public education and the of veterans,
Specifically these are The bureau of pensions, the
bureau of education, st. Elizabeths hospital, How
ard university and Freedmen's hospital, all now
in the Interior department; the public health
service, now In the Treasury department; the vet
Grams bureau an independent establishment; the
federal board for vocational education, and the
National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers
c. Bascom Semp is to retire secretary to
the President and will be succeeded by Everett
Sanders former member of congress from Indl-
ana. 1t will be remembered that the country was
surprised at the appointment Of Mr. Slemp, who
had the reputation Of being a practical politician
of the deepest dye. Behold one result of that APP
pointment Secretary Slemp, upon retirement, is
able to show that he has exploded" the popular
supposition--which seemed to have foundation
In fact-that the Presidency of the United States
is mankiling job.
Exhibit of the evidence is the record Of the
AZ
that President Coolidge has gained eight pounds
in the eighteen months he has served the Ameri-
can people as Chief Executive. Said Mr.. Slemp:
.President Coolidge takes exercises early in the
morning and retires early at night. His working
schedule is arranged that his job is not TWEEN
ty-four-hour drive. The matter Of maintaining
the health of the President is question of syste
matte work, relaxation and rest and think that
we have, TO certain extent, found solution"
The present congress is "lame-duck" congress.
The next congress President Coolidge will presum-
ably find more responsive to his wishes. He has
a teamwork cabinet. with some strong men In
It, But whatever does or edoes not happen. 1t Is
sure that the new Coolidge" will be for economy
and thrift in national affairs. They are a part
of his blood and tradition--a sort Of Puritan dis
taste for extravagant expenditure and debt
He Is Simon-pure Yankee and Simon-pure Yam
KEGS run almost invariably true to type AS to
type, Ii is a most astonishing The Yankee
Ia seemingly impossible combination of apparent
Is irreconcilabe traits. He is ambitious, efficient
practical and materiaIistic. AT the same tirae he
is idealistic beyond the comprehension of the
average man of the materialistic type. His ideals
are high his loyalty TO them sincere and his service
unstinted
So in all human probability the "new Coolidge
will be simply ii further revelation Of the same
old Coolidge acting In his own right and under
more favorable conditions
