THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By l. C. McCUMBER

President Coolidge is courageous
man. He is more than that. He is
enough of a New England farmer
that he is causing some of the live
without-work people to lay awake at
the time when they ordinarily should
take their beauty nap" This is a
low-down, "niggardly" way of doing
things. The president should be
shown.
He has refused to permit congress
to do several things. Enumerated
are the following: He has put the
kibosh on declaring national holidays
for the turnips-for-health week, but
terscotch day, remember-our great
aunts day, pickalily seasoned day,
painted lips and drugstore day,
smirk-for-a-smile day, spend-your-
money on candy day, and a million
other money-loosening days. The
next thing that will be asked of Pres
ident Coolidge will be to set aside
365 days in the year as holidays for
some of the prayerful 45-per centers.
Money, lots of it, seems to carry
with it certain privilege. For in
stance: Take the man or woman who
wants to get married and get divorc-
ed every fifteen minutes or SO. They
pay the preacher, receive his blessing,
and then after few asterisks
(blank from the public) they apply
to the learned 60 judge, and Gods
bans are ripped asunder and the game
enters another stage. And thus it
goes on and on. The worldly holier-
than-thou twiddle their thumbs, and
pray for the judges and lawyers who
tear down our present form of civil
ization. Yes, Maud, were you not
mule, | would ask you to bray few
times, celebrating the utter brazen
image worshippers.

penitentiary, was found guilty of ac-
cepting bribes from wealthy prison
