pointed out that five different Wash
ington correspondents left the White
House the same day with five differ
ent interpretations of what "a White
House spokesman had said, or meant
to say. Some of the more recent
episodes which gave rise to these dis
cussions were the celebrated Jusser-
and speech, presidential views about
allied debts, Mr.. Coolidge's disarma-
ment conference plans, the administra-
tons thoughts anent the fall of Pre-
mier Herriot, and. within the past few
days, the Presidents misunderstood
comments on fishing. On each and
every one of these occasions the
white House spokesman" was
quoted, or misquoted, in a dozen diff
ferent ways.
President Is Defended.
Another pro-Coolidge Boston paper,
the Evening Transcript through it's
Washington correspondent, Theodore
G. Joslin, took issue with the criti-
cisms of the Boston Herald on White
House news methods. Mr.. Joslin
wrote:
"A great hullaba loo has been set
up by a section of the daily press
over the methods employed by
President Coolidge in conducting
the semi-weekly conferences with
the Washington correspondents.
Evidently these newspapers have
made the discovery that the Pres
ident does not talk as much as
they think he should. Inability to
quote the President directly, they
claim results in the public getting
wrong interpretations, and Con-
gress becoming bewildered.
But, after all, this is Mr.. Coolidges
administration. Whether 1t Is to
be successful or unsuccessful de-
spends in the main on what he does
or does not do. He has all the
facts, The information of others Is
limited. He can best Judge
whether a given moment is an
opportune time to make the facts
known"
The Boston transcripts, not the
Boston Herald's, views have triumphed
at the White House. But the ''revolu-
ton" ends, leaving two opposing
schools of thought still holding
tenaciously to their opinions.
Many correspondents feel that some
system should be devised of quoting
the President directly, at least on
major occasions like important inter-
national questions. They do not think
they should be called upon to shoulder
the responsibility of interpreting
the President on such occasions. They
believe he, not they, should bear it.
If he does not, these correspondents
contend, they remain in constant dan
ger of reputation by the White
House in consequence of giving pub
licity to what they conscientiously
thought was legitimate Interpretation

Other correspondents oppose direct

Mayoralty Fight.

the people of New York should i'm
their choice of their next mayor bear
in mind the contrast between Presi-
dent Coolidge and Mayor Hylan-their
methods, their theories of public serv-
ice and their achievements-with
view TO the selection of the city's
executive of the type of the Chief
Executive of the Nation.
Mr.. Mills pointed out that President
Coolidge has spent his life in learning
the business of government. He has
been promoted steadily from a posi-
tion of lesser to one of greater impor
tance. Mr.. Hylan, he said. brought to
the office of mayor no experience, no
background, no executive training,
either in private or public capacity.
In approaching the public business,
the Coolidge method, he said, has
been one ofS painstaking study and
calm Judgment, followed by action
characterized by the courage and will
to do what he conceived to be right,
irrespective of the political conse-
quences.
Record Is ASsaiIed.
In Mr.. Hylans seven years as
mayor, Mr.. Mills asserted, there has
been no evidence of study, of thor
oughness or vision in his handling of
major questions, while even his best
friends will have to admit that in
reaching his conclusions political con-
siderations have exercised an over
whelming preponderancy. Asserting
that undoubtedly thousands of voters
in New York of Mayor Hylan's own
party voted for Coolidge for President.
he wondered how the citizens of New
York can be so indifferent to their
ma while careful in THAR cboicp
for President. Asking why the peo-
pie take Calvin Coolidge's economy so
seriously, he said it was because Cal
vim Coolidge's method of living, his
examples, his every act embody what
he breaches.
1t is known to politicians that the
Republicans are planning the greatest
drive IN many years next Fall to try
to wrest the government of the city
of New York from the hands of Tam
many Hall and Mr.. Hylan and to vest
1t into control by a combination of
Independent and non-Tammany forces,
headed by candidate of outstanding
and commanding figure, with a new
slogan of efficiency in administration
and of economy in the disbursement
of the taxpayers money. 1t is recog-
nized that it will be fight of titanic
proportions, and would require some
thing approaching a revolution in poll
tics to accomplish. Tammany Hall is
so thoroughly entrenched in city poll
tics that nothing short of political
convulsions can uproot it.

authority, and, while recognizing it's
necessity, their chief purpose was to
establish representative government
as the final authority in the land.
The individual authority of the
President was made subordinate to
the collective intelligence of Congress,
and in the Congress itself the greater
powers were delegated to the Senate.

"~ OOLIDGE economy" is be-
~ ing recognized in politics
as a political policy in
~ theory and practice. 1t is
being promptly comman
deered by the Republicans as a Re-
publican asset. The Republicans have
a way of taking unto themselves any
line of action which looks promising
to furnish political results. Long time
have they claimed to be the only ex-
ponents of prosperity, insisting that
good times in the country are to be
credited solely to Republican legisla-
ton and policies of administration.
The Republicans are considered
lucky in finding themselves in posi-
ton to emphasize the practice of econ
omy In the most spectacular way II
has ever been employed. The Demo
Gratis in the past have often stood for
"retrenchment and REFORM but none
of their leaders has ever carried 1t
out in such limelight of approving
publicity as that in which President
Coolidge now stands. With small and
unostentatious beginnings, he initi-
ated the practice of economy, gaining
speed and volume as he progressed,
until now the eyes of the Nation are
flxed upon him, and in carrying out
his policy he has come to be the
cynosure of all eyes.
Consequently, Republican politicians
of high and low degree are quickly
falling in step with him, and pretty
soon we will see them clapping them
selves on the chest and speaking Of
'our policy" seeking to give the i'm
preston that it has the hallmark of
the Republican party.
Believes i'm Own Policy.
President Coolidge, it can safely be
said, Is not urging economy in public
expe nditures solely for political bene-
fits his party may be expected to re-
ceive, but because he thoroughly be-
Iieves in 1t, not only as punic
policy, but as fit for daily use as
State, municipal and individual policy,
He and his family practice 1t, and
he thinks that 1t should be national
practice.
1t is little difficult to understand
how Republicans can expect to get
away" with the undertaking OF affix-
ing the Republican stamp to economy
as a peculiarly Republican asset as
long as Democrats, as we'll as Repuo-
licans, are called upon to put It INTO
effect in governmental affairs. Vigor-
Gus protest in this assumption or own
ersnip may be expected to be neard
from Democratic sources in Congress
in the next session.
Republicans in New Yorw City are
planning to make economy and effi.
cient administration the keynote OF
the Republican campaign in the New

Senate Secret-Session Peril Cited;

Personally, / believe that the Sena-
tors term is too long. L would make
ii four years My observation has
been that Senators are more atten-
tive and more industrious and more
careful In the last session before elec-
ton than during the first session fol-
lowing their election. Furthermore,
believe that in fixing the term OF ONCE
for Government officials we should
consider not the necessity of Keeping
good man in office-for, after all, the
integrity and sincerity of most Off
GERS is not open to question-but
rather should provide the people with
reasonably frequent opportunities to
remove public servants whose services
are no longer deemed satisfactory.
However, regardless of my own
views, the very length of the term
given a United States Senator by the
Constitution empha sizes the intent OF
the trainers of that document to rec
ognize the Importance of the office and
to make the Senate independent of
the House and the Executive.
Powers OF the Senate.
1t is we'll also to bear in mind that
the Senate is not, as many people
are inclined to think, merely the up
per branch of a legislative body. In
addition to all the powers and rights

of the House, the Senate has other

SEES AWAY - BURIED HERE

The sad word reached this city
last week that Mrs. Rodger Brasseul
who had been a constant sufferer fol
two years or more from heart trouble
had passed away in hospital at Spo-
kane, Wash.
Mr.. Brasseur left Immediately fo1
the coast City and returned last Sun
day afternoon with the remains.
Funeral services were held in the
Congregational Church here on Mon
day afternoon under the auspices OF
Reverend ]. L. Jones together with
the Rebekah Lodge of which she was
a member and interment was made in
the Challis cemetery.
Mrs. Mary Brasseur was born in
Brooklyn, New York in 1872 and her
maiden name was Mary O'Brien. In
1889 she was united in marriage to
Pierce Dorgan. To this union two
children were born, Pierce and Ruth
Dorgan, now Mrs. Aten. Mrs. Dorgan
was married to Rodger Brasseur in
1904, in Challis, Idaho and TO this
union one child, Joseph, was born.
The deceased leaves besides these
children, her devoted husband and
two sisters and one brother to mourn
her loss.
A loving wife and mother, and a
kind and generous hearted friend and
neighbor, naturally this wonderful
woman had a legion of friends and
she will be greatly missed from our
