Separate diplomatic representation
for Canada at Washington is likely
TO follow the recent Liberal victory in
Canada and the return to power there
as premier of Mackenzie King. SO far
the Irish Free State, represented IN
washington by Mr.. Timothy A.
Smiddy, is the only member OF the
British Empire which has elected to
avail itself of the privilege of a sepa-
rate diplomatic representative at
Washington. The Canadian Liberals
have advocated the same policy Tor
Canada. and Washington observers are
anticipating that definite move from
Canada to this end will be shortly
forthcoming. Among those mentioned
for the Canadian appointment are Vim
cent Massey, a capitalist; Senator
Dandurand. a former presiding officer
of the Assembly of the League or Ma
tions. and Rudolphe LemineuX,
sneaker of the last Canadian House.

Grover Cleveland wrote one and
onlv one book. 1t presented his views
upon the noble art of angling. A dozen
comics of this volume. along with a
vast assortment of fancy fishing
tackle. were among the array OF gltts
showered upon Mr.. Coolidge at White
Pine Camp as soon as the country
learned Of his new-found fondness Tor
fishing. Friends Of the President say
he read the Cleveland book with keen
relish and found between it's covers
much sound philosophy, which coin
cided to a nicely with the Coolidge
philosophy of life. Mr.. Coolidge's IA
vorite passage in the book, according
to his friends, was the following:
Moreover, If those who fish most
be patient, no one should fall TO
see that patience is q most oeslra-
ble national trait, and that 1t is
vastly important to our body poll
tic that there should continue
among our people a large cont1n-

constantly prepared and willing to
contribute to their country's fund

The address of Postmaster General
New before the convention or the Ma
t,onal Association Of Postmasters at
Kansas City this week was an ad-
mirable campaign document from the
Republican viewpoint. And lest the
salient points of his review of the
growth and efficiency OF the postal
service be overlooked, the mimeo-
graphed copies of his speech which
were literally distributed to the press
by the Post Office Department con
tanned, in addition to the text, page
of headline summaries. This lnnova-
ton Is a welcome time saver. The
high lights as summarized lnCluded:
"Postmasters adjured to riglr econ

proved: billion and quarter dollars
added to postal expenses in last eight

40 millions added in additional rev.
enues in same period to Offset this
sum: postal revenues paint vivid pic
ture of Nations growth; New York
City's postal receipts in 1925 greater
than entire postal revenues in 1890"
Massachusetts, which boasts Of the
lowest percentage of illiteracy of any
State in the Union, furnishes a "hor-
rible example" of what can happen
in the direct primary system when
the voters don't use their heads. A
popular and widely advertised Demo

picked by the Democratic chieftains
as running mate on the State ticket
with William A. CASTOR, the Boston
banker, candidate for governor. At
