The Presidents Vacation"

Preparations that have been already
about eight weeks this Summer indi-
cate that it will not be a time of COM
plete rest from labor. For six of the
eight weeks the President will be at
Lynn, Mass, and arrangements have
been perfected for the establishment
there of executive offices on a scale
closely approXimating those in this
city. There will be a complete outfit
of offices within a short distance from
the dwelling in which the President
will be domiciled. For two weeks of
the time he is away from Washington
the President will stay on his father $
farm at Plymouth, Vt.
The President of the United States
can in truth never take a true "vaca-
ton" He cannot lay down his duties
and relinquish his responsibilities. He
cannot turn over even a part OF his
task to an understudy or an assistant.
He is the President in fact and in
terms Of actual daily attention to de
tails of administration from the hour
he takes the oath of office until his
successor in turn takes the oath
So this Summer, although the Presi-
dent is away from Washington, sup
posedly resting from his task. he will
be still at work, still hearing the rep
resentatives Of the people who have
complaints 10 make, suggestions to Of
fer, names to propose for preferment
and appointment He will be the tar
get of documents and reports from the
various bureaus and commissions, and
he will be compelled to take them into
consideration in making his decisions
upon executive questions.
President Coolidge is by nature and
disposition untitled by full vacation
which means complete relaxation from
duty and responsibility. He cannot
absolve himself from his task To him
neglect Of a thing that must be con
sidered or a subject that must be de
Cided is anathema. He sets for the
people Of the country a valuable ex-
ample of industry and conscientious
devotion to duty. Yet it is to be hoped
that at least during the fortnight when
he is visiting his father, and perhaps
reviving the memories of his boyhood
and possibly taking part in the actual
work Of the farm, he will let go as
fully as the nature OF his office per
mits, so as TO restore his energies and
be prepared thus to withstand the
severe strain Of another long sojourn
at the White House. in the center OF
the converging attention and influ-
ences and stressful opportunities of
the American people.

The board reports that the volume
of merchandise distribution has been
reflected in sales at wholesale and re-
tail and railroad shipments haye been
at a higher level during the first
quarter of 1925 than for the CORE

good sign the board finds is in the in
creased buying power of the farmers
and industrial workers. The income
of factory workers also has advanced
almost continuously during the past
eight months, and in March it was
more than 20 per cent above the low
point of last June
With politics on vacation" and
business showing a healthy and i'm

good times is promising and apparent

Civilization has discovered many
things, but it has been long while
discovering something some Of the an
clients knew very well-that cooking
is not the work of the housewife.
1t Is safe TO say that the business
affairs Of the average man are less

America and the Constitution.

To the intensive study of the Consti-
tuition of the United States by the
school children of this country year
ago, in preparation for and particlpa'
ton in the national oratorical contest,
President Coolidge, in his address last
night at the finals Of the contest OF
1925. attributed in large part the re-
suit Of the national referendum in the
election last November. The reaction
from this study by the younger people,
preparing for citizenship. spreading
through their elders at home and their
friends, those who heard the speeches
in city, county, State and divisional
eliminations and in the finals, directly
and by radio, was undoubtedly factor
in the great vote to sustain and to fol-
low and observe Faithfully the funda-
mental law and the principles upon
which the American Government is
based.
That such is the influence of the
oratorical contest cannot be doubted
when it is realized that last year a
million school pupils participated, with
many millions of elder people follow
ing their work with interest. That the
principles and the spirit of The Con-
stitution have through these contests
been more thoroughly understood by
the people of all sections of the coun-
Try than heretofore cannot be ques-
toned. That the country benefits
thereby is assured.
Those who heard the contestants IN
the finals last evening, directly at the
Auditorium and by radio, must today
not only have more vivid concept Of
the basic law than before, but must
have an abiding faith in the soundness
OF view OF the school children OF the
country The seven orations. brief
though they We're, presented the Con-
stitution in its essential form as a
model method of government. The
eloquence and the sincerity of the
speakers drove home TO all who
listened the fundamental truths Of
that immortal document Today mil
lions OF American people are strength
ened in their faith in the perpetuity of
the Institutions of our Government.
Judgment between these seven
young people, chosen from 400 600
contestants, was difficult. There was
high merit in each address and in the
delivery of each offering. Those
charged with the task of selection and
rating, four members of the Supreme
Court and the Attorney General, must
have been embarrassed by the riches
presented for their selection. The
final judgment rated them, however.
IN a manner to evidence the most
painstaking consideration. To Robert
Sessions of Birmingham. Ala. was ac-
corded the first place, and thus to the
South goes first honor in the competi-
tion, an honor that is the greater for
the magnitude Of the field and the
high excellence of the competition.
The growth OF this contest in two
years has been such as to warrant its
consideration as fixed annual event.
It's product is stronger citizenship,
now and in the years to come. Such a
yield is rich harvest we'll worth the
planting The Star is proud TO have
been helpful in the promotion of this
enterprise, in cooperation with other
newspapers. and is proud also of the
high merit of the Capitals participa-
tion. though first honors have yet to
come TO Washington.

economy as a science, but not as an
