District of Columbia policemen from

Hill charged dry officials with
systematically trying to confuse State
and Federal powers in the minds of
the public.
I'm this case" he said. They are
trying to make people think it is the
Federal Government which is coming
into Maryland in search of dry law
violators. That is not so. the District

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT r. SMALL.

When the man who paid the big
gest income tax in the United States.
accompanied by the man a. the head
of the corporation which paid the
biggest income tax. arrived at the
White House in Washington this past
Thursday morning, they came on
foot. plowing their way through the
snowy slush which had graced or dis
graced the streets of the National
Capital for more than a week. OF
course, they could have arrived in
gold trimmed limousines. with livered
chauffeurs and all that sort OF thing,
but somehow or other they just pre-
ferred TO walk.
Furthermore, they arrived at the
White House portals at 7:s5 am,
when most of the Government clerks
were perhaps taking their last forty
winks. prior to a quick toilet, a cup
Of coffee and hop downtown to the
big departments.
The two men of extreme wealth ar
rived at the White House 10 minutes
ahead Of time. They had been asked
for breakfast. The thought that they
might miss the preliminary whiffs of
the country sausage and the buck
wheat cakes and the coffee steaming
up from the kitchen had made them
early.
And so as they reached the portico
who should burst out upon them but
President Coolidge himself, bound for
one of his short, brisk early morn
Ing strolls. Mr.. Coolidge said howdy-
do to everybody, for the two rich men
were accompanied by several others
men of distinction in their chosen
walk of life-and told them to walk
right in and make themselves at home
as he walked right out into the crisp
morning air. Some of the callers
would have jumped at the opportunity
to walk with the President, but he
was gone before they could make the
suggestion. The President prefers to
stroll alone and mediate.
At the appointed hour for breakfast
the President was back, and then the
greetings were renewed. The two men
of gold were John D. Rockefeller, jr,
who paid nearly ss,000,000 in personal
income taxes last year, and Judge E.
H. Gary, head Of the United States
Steel Corporation, which outpaid the
Ford factory last year by few hun
dred thousands of dollars. With eight
associates, Judge Gary and Mr..
Rock efeller had come over TO Wash
ington TO tell the President that law
enforcement was the great issue of
the day and must be sternly dealt
with, lest anarchy raise its hydra
head in this peace-loving, prosperous
country. Mr.. Coolidge replied aye,

Christmas has come and gone, but
who will shout from house tops and
street corners that Christmas Is gone?
For many weeks we have all called
out Christmas is coming" and even
now we hail the coming of the New
Year. Soon we will take cheer from
the approach of Easter, and so on
through the Fourth of July and
Thanksgiving until we cry again that
Christmas Is coming. Christmas which
is the chief of festivals.
Thus 1t Is with men, and it is well
so. We look to coming joys, and
dwell pleasantly and none too re-
gretfully upon those which are past.
Whether or not Christmas fulfilled
our expectations Is of little moment.
The Joy of the road is In the going,
not the arrival; success is in the do
ing rather than the achievement and
life is in the living rather than the
attainment; truth, too, is in the seek
ing more than in what is found.
So Christmas also is a progress
greater than mere fulfillment.-
