Newspaper editors are not omniscient, despite the popu- lar belief that members of that fraternity know or should know most everything. Neither are they mind readers or clairvoyants who by the ex- ercise of some physicic power can tell what is in the minds of others. If they were any of these things they would not remain editors. Like everyone else they are guilty of occas- 'onal errors of opinion or judgement. Being only hu- nan they make mistakes: but. unlike the great majority ot mankind, whose errors are ;1nown only to themselves o1 1t most small number of ,thers, those of the editor are .roadcasted and perpetuated n cold print. In short the irst get away with their mis- akes because few hear or now of them, but the un- ortunate editor who displays ass than the wisdom of ;olomon in what he says or
 ermits to be said in his journ- Il, is the target for everyone vho possesses the wit to dis :ern his error. This is espec- ally true in the case of the
 mall town editor. Editors of he big city dailies can make
 ny number of errors and ,leir small town readers mere y smile and gently remark hat ''he is mistaken" but when the hard working home own editor-who by the way } usually doing two or three
 lens' work and bearing 8 ,roportionate share of their rial and worries-happens to make a slip, he is seventeen ;inds of a chump and should e heaving coal instead of run
 ing newspaper. Let some rifling news item in his col .mns deviate from fact in the lightest degree and there is ] grand hullabaloo and both le and his paper are the ob- ect of every specie of criti- ism and condemnation.
 The saving grace of the situ- stion is that the editor who performs his task in conscien- tious spirit gives scant heed to

incompetent members of his cabinet and
forced him 10 withdraw one nomination
thereto, and considering only the purely
legislative side Coolidge has got the worst
of IT, Here is the record:
In his message of December, 1928,
Coolidge recommended our adherence 10
the world court, Nothing has been done.
He recommended the Mellon tax plan,
giving primary consideration 20 the big
fellows and secondary consideration TO
the little fellows. Congress turned the
proposal around, giving first considera-
tion TO the little fellows and less consid-
Grafton to the big.
He recommended the abolition of the
right TO issue taN-eXempt securities. Moth
ing done.
He recommended further Legislation TO
aid the consolidation of railroad systems
and entire reorganization of the freight
rate structure, Nothing done.
He recommended the strengthening Of
the coast guard fleet TO enable it TO deal
more effectively with liquor smuggers.
Fleet strengthened.
He recommended civil service classifi-
cation for first. second and third-class
postmasters and repeal of the four-year
term. Nothing done
He recommended a separate depart
ment of education Nothing done,
He recommended registration of all
aliens Nothing done.
He recommended a refusal of the bonus
10 soldiers. Passed and re-passed over
his veto
He recommended legislation giving him
authority to name coal commission EN-
powered to deal with whatever emerg-
ency situation might arise" Nothing
done.
He recommended government reorgani-
zation legislation. Nothing done.
He recommended that farmers for the
most part, be left to work out their own
salvation. For the most part they have
been so left.
He recommended the appointment OF n
committee to determine whether or not
and to whom, if anyone Muscle Shoals
should be sold. Committee appointed.
That summarizes the important sugges-
lions in his message of two years ago and
what happened to them. The president
must now make these suggestions all over
again and make them sound new, if pos
sible.

COOLIDGE AND CONGRESS

DRETTY soon President Coolidge must
read to congress another annual
message He is now giving thought to
what he will put in it.
1t is an important matter. The sue
cess of any president depends largely on
his ability to obtain the cooperation of
congress in carrying out his policies The
present generation of voters witnessed
how successful a president could be in the
first four years of Woodrow Wilson's adj
ministration, when more constructive leg
islation was passed probably, than in any
other four years of the governments his
tory. 1t witnessed likewise how unsuc-
cessful president could be in Wilson'S
second four years, when-excluding his
war measures-he met rebuff at nearly
every turn.
Measured by this standard, Coolidge
has all his success yet to achieve.
In the matter of the coming message
he might, if he followed his ideal econ
omy, simply write note saying: See
my message of two years ago" For the
recommendations of his first message to
congress have failed almost completely of
adoption.
Coolidge, in his contact with congress,
thus far has come off badly. Leaving out
the unprecedented manner in which con-
gress forced him to dismiss corrupt and
