Fifth District as "a Coolidge Demo-
crat," but declaring the Republican
tariff is responsible for most If not
all our economic ills. received but
1851 votes to his opponents 1854,
Presumably Mr.. Reed of Missouri
or Governor Smith of New York will
explain this as an illustration of the
chivalry Of Democratic voters toward
women, as the Republican candidate
pledged to the Coolidge administra-
ton is Mrs. John Jacob Rogers. wild
ow of the late Congressman from
that district.
The total vote cannot be rightly
termed grand total. being but 32.-
ss6 as compared with that of es.5a2.
of which in 1924 Rogers received 49,
BAL and the Democratic candidate,
O'Sullivan, received 22,es1. Looks
like Mr.. Foss wasn't taken seriously
by anybody and the voters more in
terested in the approaching Fourth
Of July or haying than in politics.
Anyhow Foss on the iniauities Of q
Republican tariff does not seem to
be popular midsummer reading In
the old Fifth District.

1t seemed to me as your Uncle Dave
sat down to write this story that he
heard some of you beys and girls ask:
"What has become of dear Uncle
Lucky?" Come to think 1t over, it Is
some three or four stories since I've
mentioned that nice old gentleman
rabbit. However. nothing Is wrong
with him, not even q touch of rheu-
matism in his little pinky toe. Old
Man rheumatic seldom makes trouble
for people in July. He waits for cold,
damp weather, that's what he does.
and no mistake. But dear Uncle
Lucky had forgotten all about him as
he hoped out to the garden to tell
the Old Red Rooster to replace the
broken picket In the fence with a new
one. Then hopping into the Lucky
mobile, the nice old gentleman rabbit
waved his paw to Little Miss Mousie,
his careful housekeeper, and sped
down Lettuce Avenue. On the corner
of Cabbage Street he stopped to buy a
bag of peanuts from the little old lady
duck who sat all day on an empty box
by the side of her little stand.
Beautiful morning." said dear
Uncle Lucky. as he handed her Car
rot Cents. "How's busincss?"

GOVERNORS CONFERENCES

The visiting Governors now turn
from labor to refreshments a. 1t
wers. having ended the speechifytng
at their conferences and being en-
route to see something Of the good
old state Of Maine. Not but the
speeches on the whole were good
ones. not but the informal discuss
sions outside the conference Of vari-
Gus gubernatorial perplexities were
better, NOT but they really got good
deal Of pleasure betweenwhiles-for
such IL hard to avoid at Poland
SpriHg-nevertheless 1t Is possible
they will receive from their sightsee-
ing that which will be found fully as
profitable.
The plan for holding annual con-
ferences. begun II years ago. was q
happy one. Whether fully realized
at the time 1t probably was suggest
ed by the trend toward centraliza-
ton, at least cooperation Of effort.
Steadily in late years the need Of
this has tended 70 extend the Fed
eral activities. the number Of Federal
bureaus. commissions and other Of
ficials. Year by year the States
have seen-and acquiesced in-the
usurpation Of their powers by the
Federal Government. The public
should be getting restless under this
change; the annual conference of the
Governors considering ways and
means for acting together for CO.
ordinated effort should serve as q
help to the States to act effectively
az States In the performance Of du-
ties. which otherwise will be should
cred upon the Federal Government
where they do not belong.
This cooperation is not as easy as
might at frst seem. Something has
been accomplished at these CONFER
eaces towards nearer uniformity In
divorce. corporation and marriage
laws but much remains to be done
and 1t occasionally happens that the
interests of States conflict. For in
stance with regard to the Federal
aid matters there are 10 States that
do not get back more than ten per
cent Of what they pay. while four
derive more than they pay. Evident
~ unless the States do find a way to
eo-operate to meet the demand for
more Uniform effort along certain
lines then Federal Government. will
usurp still more Of the rightful pre-
negatives Of the States. Governors
conferences should be an effective
agency to maintain q proper balance
in our form Of Government.

Col. John Fights for Life
New Yark WORLDLY

Col. John Fights for Life
New York World)
There is a flint of an earlier. al
most forgotten, stock in old lJohn
Coolidge. 1t was a stock which bred
pioneers, hardy men who faced ele-
mental things and survived, though
they grew gnaried and scanned in the
struggle. And it was a stock that
found, through bleak blizzards and
hardship, a curious philosophy, a
sort of American stoicism. These
men spurned the luxury Of soft civil
lization. They loved beauty, for they
made homes that were beautiful but
it was simple beauty that they loved,
deeply, but they believed that to be-
tray feeling was weak and woman
ish, and they learned to hide what
they felt under salt Yankee humor.
John Coolidge is blood and bone of
this lean and lanky race. 1t was IN
keeping with his philosophy that
when his son became President Of
the United States he should make no
fuss about it, He might take few
days off to see the boy inaugurated,
but no silly demonstrations. And 1t
was in keeping with his philosophy
that when he was taken i'll he should
make no fuss about that. After re-
peated urgipgs from Washington he
went to Boston to see the doctors,
but when a friend asked him what
the trouble was he replied he guess
ed he would have to read the papers
to find out" A lovable bit of irony
1.-THE mild assertion of his own SIM
plicity. and a neat poke at the CAB
bling curiosity of the rest of the
world. And it was in keeping with
his philosophy that when things
grew serious he should refuse to be
weak and let his grandson call the
doctor: and that, when the opera
ton was ordered, he should walk to
the operating table unassisted: and
that he should go through with it
under only local anaesthetic. and
that he should joke with the surg
cons. Altogether q fine old fellow,
with simple taste and iron nerve
which put most of us to shame in Il
blatant and historical age. May he
pull through and live to be a hum
dred.
