ROLL a cigarette with good old Prince
Albert and you'll know why prefer this
tobacco above all others. Better tobacco
- better makin's, that's the net of it.
Why, the minute you get that wonderful
P. A. fragrance, you know P. A. makes
a great cigarette.
The smoke this cigarette sends out is
equally fragrant fragrant and re-
freshing as breeze through an orchard
in blossom-time. Cool and sweet and
mellow, yet with that full, rich tobacco
body that puts satisfaction into every
puff. A cigarette, Fellows!

McAndrew Awaits His Trial
st. Paul Dispatch)


The skids CREASED and the set is ready for
the ride Chicagos superintendent of schools has
scheduled to take out Of municipal affairs Mayor
William Hale Thompson has acquired control of the
school board Superintendent William McAndrew
has been suspended and before long will be placed
trial.
The technical charge against the superintendent
is INSTRUMENTATION. His real ofense appears that
he has committed the crime Of being an educator Of
distinction and courage. He has resisted attempts
to make the schools plaything Of Chicago poll
tle'ans Tie has won the cordial hatred Of the local
group and has alicnated the affections of the teach
crs organization by asking that the Instructors de-
vote themselves more seriously to the business OF
teaching and less to political activities during school
hours.
Of all these things, and of other equally prepos-
ferrous conduct, Superintendent McAndrcw is guilty
Therefore he is to be oustcd by Boss Thompson
who loves him like boy loves measles in vacation
season.
And that is just it should be. Thompson and
McAndrew were not made to function officially to-
gether. When Chicago chose Thompson it significl
its Indifference about retaining McAndrew. 1t will
now get the sort Of public service the vote indicated
was preferred.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, Sept. 9.--Out Of the
Black Hills comes another explana-
tion Of why President Coolidge made
his prccipitate announcement. On
the authority of one or two admins
tration publicists, the president was
painfully irked by the publicity to
which he was subjected during his
vacation.
One is asked to. believe that the
president became sick and tired of it
all for the reason that his every
movement was pictured and described
all over the country by photograph
ers and correspondents that he was in
the delporable position of bug
under microscope and that he
couldn't turn around without con-
fronting a platoon Of cameramen and
scribbling reporters.
All of which may be the popular
conception of what prcsidast faces
on his vacation. But it isn't very
accurate.
The fact is that the president Of
the United States is as we'll protected
from that sort of thing as he is from
bomb-throwcrs and assassins. The
photographers and reporters are
eager enough to shoot and describe
a president in all sorts Of bizarre,
unique and unconventional poses, but
they simply can't get away with it
without the approval of the cxccu-
tive.
The power of the secret service
men is so great that they can keep
the boys from getting anywhere near
the president if he so directs. There
is no such thing as sneaking up and
taking a pot camera shot at men,
Der Of the presidential family.
For instance, during the Coolidge
vacation at Swampscott, photos Of
Mrs. Coolidge in bathing costume
were strictly forbidden. And even
now, far out IN South Dakota, the
president is able to prevent any in
side pictures from being taken of the
repaired White House or Of the pala-
tial temporary residence on Dupont
Circle until he gives his explicit per-
mission.
Thus, nc theory that Mr.. Coolidge
has been bounded to distraction out
in the Black Hills is hardly tcnablc.
The only pictures and the only lntl-
mate stories of his vacation life have
been those permitted by the prcsi-
dent.
Being photographed never has been
an ordeal for Mr. Coolidge, anyway.
He likes it. He gladly put on over
Plymouth farm and he was just as
glad to accommodate the boys by
posing in cowboy hat and chaps and

by fishing in Squaw creek clad in
sailor straw hat, business suit and
high stiff collar.
The contention now advanced that
the public's smokers ut these scenes
in the news reels led Mr.. Coolidge
to give up in disgust is certainly
not plausible if it is based on the
assumption that all that was forced
upon Mr.. Coolidge;
On the authority Of a news reel
photographer recently returned FROM
Rapid City, those pfttprcs were rcafs(
~ the outgrowth Of a news reel
strike" It appears that Mr.. Cool
idge preferred to go along With
nothing moro than the conventional
ing his private lifQyand his recrca-
ton out Of the movies and the pic
ture pages.
The news reel men, having taken
such obvious cream as the president
going to church and entering his new
offices, were given no more material
than was afforded by arrivals and
receptions Of visiting personages and
delegations. The crank turner's
realized that this unexciting material
was no longer welcome at their home
offices or in the movie theaters and
so it came about that the president
observed them strangely inactive on
such occasions.
A secret service man went to in
quirc why the cranks weren't turn
ing. He was informed of the situa-
ton. From that time on, either out
of the kindness of his heart or in
realization that he owed it to his
party to keep in the limclight, the
president graciously tried to obligey-
Hence, when the boys begged him
to put on the cowboy outfit and CO.
operate in similar stunts, he did.
If he didn't show to advantage, he
couldn't help it. But he no more
deliberately sought cheap publicity
than he was forced into it against
his will.
For all his willingness to pose. few
presidents have been more vigorously
opposed to barring intimate details
of their family lives than has Mr..
Coolidge. His attitude in this. re-
spect has been most dignified despite
his knowledge that the majority Of
the public is always eager for such
details in type or photograph.
With every government department
pouring out daily reams of publicity.
it is not surprising if the president
occas ionally acGuiesces to tho 'n,-
portunities Of his advisers and the
photographers but the point is that
nobody can jump on him, and change;
his clothes and photograph him
against his will.

The Country Wants Hoover

And now it is Senator Borah never conspicuous
as especially fond Of the secretary of commerce,
who dlscerns Hoover strength in the northwest.
Competent observers. wherever they 60 about the
country, report that Herbert Hoover is the man the
rank and file of Republican voters want for their
next president
The border states are for him. The south wants
him, but probably not to the extent of,"going Re-
publican in his behalf. The middle west generally
favors him. making him second choice even in the
states that for Lowden first The far west is
strong fer him. And the east probably prefers him
to any of the candidates far seriously considered
provided Charles Evans Hughes is not an asprant
The voters of the party. them want Hoover. I'm
questionaby he would poll higher vote both popu-
lar and electoral. than any Of the other potential
nominees. -
Just as unquestionably would he surely be put
forward as the Republican nominee, did there APP
pear to be much danger of Democratic success in
1928 -
But right there is the rub State and district
leaders, senator's and congressman see 1928 pretty
clearly as another Republican year. Party poll
tcians feel rather that any Republican nominee
who is reasonably able and reasonably well known
will be elected year from next November. There
fore Secretary Hoovers vote-gettng ability is moro
lightly held by them than would be the case were
close battle between the two major parties imm-
ncnt
All of which means that Hoovcr's nomination,
despite the favor in which he is held by the rank
and file Ct lis party. may never come to pass UNI
lees that rank and file do some insisting, and with
no little emphasis.
Why? Because Herbert Hoover is no politician.
Because he docs not know how to dicker with long,
shot fayo.ie cons, and probably would not do SO il
he did know how. Because he is not familiar with
the orthodox methods Of lining up state leaders, and
probably would not employ them il he was.
Wherefore Republican voters, If they are to have
their wishes complied with had better let an early
start at the business Of insisting that their state and
district delegations be instructed for Herbert
Hoover Nor is this situation an evidence Of the
need Of presidential preference primaries. III most
Of the nineteen states that have them the prefere-
tal primaries in the past will register in no way
