OVERWORKING PUBLIC
SERVANTS.
(From the New York Times.)

(fTOLu Tie NEW 1OTk llleS.1
1t is really indefensible, almost
incredible, that Americans should
incline to overwork their Execu-
tive so ruthlessly. They put a
President into the White House
and then do not give him time to
think. They expect him to devise
and defend great national poll
cies, but would yield him, if they
had their way, no interval in
which to frame them, except be-
tween midnight and morning. It
is much the same with mayors.
They are expected to see every
body, to be present at every i'm
portant public gathering, to make
speeches, full of sagacity and sug-
gestiveness, on every topic that
comes up. But the thing simply
cannot be done. Under the inces-
SAINT strain either the Executives
health will break or his work will
have to be neglected. 1t might be
we'll if the mayor could have an
Edward Everett Hale double" to
represent him officially on public
occasions. Better still would 1t be
for him to decline all invitations,
except the most imperative, in or
der to conserve his health and
strength and to gain a margin of
time in which to study municipal
problems.
Meanwhile, the people of the
city have something to do them
selves in the way of helping the
mayor out. They ought to resolve
not to devastate his day. They
should leave off pursuing him and
Fostering him in his Office need
lessly. And they should pass
self-denying ordinance against de-
handing his presence at public
meetings which eat up his time
and sap his strength. Mayor
Walker has made a fine beginning
in Office and has most agreeably
impressed the city; but that is no
reason for killing him with mis-
taken kindness.

FROM THE OZARK ORACLE.

FROM THE OZARK ORACLE.
Be a friend before you expect
to get one.
If one is lazy when he doesn't
want to be, perhaps there is some
thing the matter with his health.
Whether spanking makes good
children or not all depends on the
kind of child that is spanked.
1t is neither easy nor pleasant to
get rich if you know how to save,
only.
A man remembers the jolly
times of the long ago and forgets
the headaches.
One who hopes little, fears lit
tie.
You hardly ever make a mistake
in passing compliments. That's
one sure way of being agreeable.
A man can be a natures noble
man even If he hasn't chiseled
features.
If you are losing in an argu-
ment begin to boiler louder. You
may win.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

Not DANGEROUS for Father.

Nellie Revell, a lady noted for
her optimism under dire circum-
stances, relates an amusing story
of young husband who was anx-
iously awaiting news of the birth
of his first child. He was pacing
up and down the hospital corridor
when the doctor came out and
told him to control himself or else
take a walk around the block.

Mainlanders are elated over the
appropriation of s750,000 by the
United States Senate for continu-
ing the air station at Lakehurst.
The House is not so friendly to
the station, but the two New Jer-
sey Senators hope to get the bill
through. The closing of the sta
ton would be disappointment to
all the shore resorts, as the big
dirigibles are an attraction that
helps to draw visitors.
Reports from Dennisville, one
of the oldest towns in Cape May
county, and formerly the site of
the shipbuilding interest of the
county, where many three and
ur-masted schooners were built
some forty years ago, state that
the citizens of the town are up in
arms over the proposal of the
New Jersey State Highway Com
mission to eliminate Dennisville
from the main Bayshore route
from Camden to Cape May, which
connects with the Malaga pike
north of Millville. 1t has been
pointed out both by members of
the Cape May county freeholders
and the State Highway Commits
sion that the new route will elimi-
nate very dangerous curves.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE.

"In dealing with public or politi-
cal questions President Coolidge
has political intuition almost psy-
chic. One cannot see, touch or
hear a political tide but he can
feel it. Having felt it, one can
analyze it and find reason for its
existence, but If one fails to make
a tide or feel it when it is one,
he is lost. 1t is commonly accep-
ted opinion that President Cool
idge has remade the Republican
party-an outstanding contribu-
ton to the political history of his
time. He has so wisely formed
his opinions upon public questions
and so convincingly stated them
that his words have come to be
accepted by an overwhelming ma
jority of the Republican party
and also 1t might be added of the
American people-as the expires.
