replied Yes, K you want to

That's the way it's been IN Mic
aragua. The Liberals have had the
good sense to realize that d sure
way to get a great number Of them
selves killed would be for Just one
Of them to fire at an American
Marine. The known readiness Of
the Marines to fight when given
an excuse has served effectively to
prevent the Liberals from giving
them any excuse. Some Liberals
The Washington times., 1927-04-15

have expressed the fear that the
Marines might provide their own
excuse. but such fears are ground
less.
The Marines are recruited from
all parts OF the United States, from
families rich and poor, cultured and
otherwise, Hence their amusements
are varied.
They play baseball, football and
basketball; drink cold beer and eat
fruit; play chess. checkers and card
games; ride burros. mountain mules

Mr. Belts was born with rate sheet in his

were class and commodity rates" and he was
reared in the nurture and admonition of the book
of tariffs.
Little did he think, when handling freight mat
ters for the Santa Fe, or later, when a member of

would be a member of the interstate commerce

WHITE HOUSE CUSTOMS
(Arizona Republican,

One of the many senseless institu-
tions of this free America is that
which compels the wearied president
of the United States, and sometimes
his wife, to stand and shake hands
with long lines of gaping citizens.
This is one of the foolish emblems of
democracy. 1t is only little more
foolish than the British practice Of
presentation at court"
The time and energy of the presi-
dent would be greatly conserved by
the abolition of this American pre-
sentation at court" There might be
some sense or significance in it if all
US Americans could shake hands with
the president and the president could
survive the ordeal. But since only q
small part of us can attain to this
distinction, it tends to the creation of
favored class, and that is 'agin" the
constitution, or ought to be.
In the line at the White House last
Thursday was Mrs. Lita Grey Chap
lin and her gold-digging mother.
Mrs. Chaplin pronounced Mr.. Coolidge
to be swell" She thought he was
genuinely interested since he had
murmured something about hoping
that she liked Washington. Mrs.
Chaplin's mother told the correspond
