Washi.. gton, Dec. Calvin Cool
idgc will be everything or nothing
in the next Republican convention,
and the game these days is to guess
which.
The presidents continued refusal
to make his position clear beyond all
doubt is making life miserable for
various other candidates for the
nomination and their families and
friends, for thousands Of federal
job-holders and, last and no doubt
least, FOR hundreds Of newspaper
correspondents.
In the last month or two, it has
driven many politicians back to the
White House steps, if only for the
simple reason that they dared not
scurry elsewhere. This no, seems
TO be the most important Of all po-
litical developments this fall.
The other two important develop
ments affecting the PRESIDENT | sit
uation are the growing strength of
Governor AL Smith in the Demo-
cratic party and the steadv increase
of favorable talk about Vice Presi-
dent Dawes.
The sub-surfacc Dawes boom. is
likely to mean very little unless the
expansion of the revived COOLIDGE
boom is checked in one way or an
other, but, leaving the president out
of it, the opinion of the majority
seems to be that Dawes, for all his
sudden emulation of the violet, is out
in front. This means that most poll
ticians at this moment are not tax
ing Lowden's chances of winning
the nomination very seriously and
that they will only let Hoover grab
it from over their PROSTATE corpscs.

On the other hand, there is a new
tendency TO suspect that Lowden
will enter the convention with more
delegates than has been commonly
supposed to whom Dawes will event.
uallv fall heir.
Unless artificial respiration is ap-
piled to the Hughes boom, Hughes
can be considered out of the picture.
So can most of the dark horses.
In looking at Hoover, Dawes and
Lowden, it is interesting or signifi-
cant or both to recall that these
three gentlemen have fou~ht for
Republican conventic:, votes before,
notably in 1924.
Hoover entered the scene in 1920,
although five months before the :
vcntion he did not know his political
affiliation. Hoover failed to carry

Value Of Beauty
Est. Cloud, Mimi, Journal-Press)

(St. Cloud, MIMI, JOurnal-PresS)
The stranger within our gates often can give
the residents of any city a viewpoint worth con.
Sidcring.
North Dakota has very able and observing
man for chief executive Hon. Arthur G. SOrlie.
Under the guidance Of his nephew, /. M. Sorlie,
manager Of the st. Cloud division Of the Tele-
phone company, he spent several hours yester-
day in making acquaintance of the city. He
was greatly impressed with not only it's fine ap-
pearance, it's progress and prosperity, but he
has an appreciation Of the value Of beauty as an
asset.
He told the Kiwanis club that st. Cloud was
fortunate in having lake in the heart Of the
city. Few cities are thus favored. Make it
a beauty spot DO not hesitate to spend what
money is necessary to make it worthy Of ST.
Cloud. None Of you came into the world with
cent Of money, and none Of you will take a
penny with you when you answer the final
summons-except the money you spend in Civ
ing service to your fellow men. Make the most
of your lake, which will give pleasure to those
who come after you, the pride of your city. It
will be one Of your most worthwhile accom-
plishments."
There are some few people in this city who
have been criticizing the city commission for
doing the thing so highly recommended by this
man Of national fame.
AS soon as the work is completed, and the
dream Of those who have been striving for a
quarter Of 4 century to make Lake George a
thing Of beauty and a JOY forever is accom-
plished, the city fathers now censured will re-
|ceivc praise and commentator even by the
present faultfinders
The words of Gov Sorlie should be a healthy
antidote to doubters.

den only picked up Illinois. But
Hoovers peak strength was only 81.
votes and Lowden once led the field,
his peak being 3111a. In other words,
no one paid any attention to Hoover.
Now the politicians must reckon
with him. but they all recall the
time when Hoover didn't know
whether he was Republican or DEM
ocrat.
Lowden's stock has since gone
down and Hoovcr's up. In 1924 all
they could fight for was the vice
presidency. Hoover wanted it and
couldn't get it. Lowden got it and
announced h. didn't want it. (Their
friends, of course, die the fight
ing.) Hoover didn't enter the vot-
ing until the third ballot, after Low
den had turned down the honor, and
it was on that ballot that Dawes ran
away with the show.
Much the same thing may happen
to the presidential nomination in
1928, except that no one who gets it
will turn it down. The same old
crowd will be there to pick it's man.
Assuming that Lowden finally drops
out without being nominated, as he
did after being nominated in 1924,
and that Dawes becomes his legatee,
Dawes and Hoover will fight it out.

CAN THE SCALPEL CURE!

Surgical science has progressed to
such an extent that it is now pos
sible to operate on every part Of
the body and lose at least portions
of any of the organs without pro-
ducing death. Surgeons are often
encouraged to perform unnecessary
operations which could have been
avoided if the patient were willing
to remove the real causes which
were producing his trouble.
Most people are familiar with the
fact that such organs as the eyes,
tonsils. appendix, gall-bladder and
generative organs can be extirpAted
without death ensuing, and that the
patient will live after one kidney,
portions Of the liver, intestines, and
pancrcas are removed. Surgeons
have even gone so far recently as
to operate on the brain and take out
sections Of this vital organ which
only q little while ago we thought
could not be even touched without
danger.
Surgeons have recently opened up
the heart and operated upon portions

aftere the operation!
The reports of surgical progress
which creep in.o the newspapers un-
doubtedly have the effect Of maxi
ing people believe that almost every
thing can be done with surgery.
The other day a patient whom /
had just examined was urging her
sister to have an examination as q
precaution to determine if any hid
den disorder existed. The sister, who
appeared to be highly intelligent
young woman, replied, "I'd rather
wait until I am sick and then have
an operation" l asked her what
she expected to be operated on for,
and she fliprantly replied: 8" should
worry! III let the doctor find that
out. I'D rather go to the hospital
and be laid up for two or three weeks
than to be bothered about diet"
Mind you, this is not an unusual
point Of view, but one which I hear
frequently expressed by those with
whom ! come in contact socially.
The publicity about people Icing
saved by surgical operations has
been so great in recent years that
many people who otherwise appear
quite sensible prefer to live hap
hazardly, but are careful to carry
the telephone rumber of some sur
geon who is famous in their locality
so they can call him if suddenly TAX

aculously remove the bad effects
from years Of injurious living.

the tinge Of adventure is in his blood and it has

twenty years in the Kansas penitentiary for
helping TO rob jewelry store.

"When are you going to see

the silent, brooding girl who sat OPP
posite her at the luncheon table.

almost sulkily. "Nils was to arrange
it and haven't heard from him.
He said he would see her first and
make an appointment for me. May
be he'll tell me tonight-if he goes

ed with somber significance.
So Rhoda suspected that Nils had
forced Cherry to go to lunch with
him! Faith wondered if she had
been listening, had overheard the
one sided telephone conversation
she had just concluded with Bob.
But a glance at RhOda's honest,
troubled face made her ashamed OF
her suspicious. Faith longed to take
the girl completely into her con-
fidence, but an instinct Of loyalty
to Cherry forbade.
At three o'clock that afternoon
Nils Jonson appeared with dramatic
unexpectedness. Faith herself open
ed the door for him, but as soon as
Rhoda heard his booming, cello-like
voice she came running from the
