Again the Silent Mr.. Coolidge
(MinnpannliS Trihunnl


Calvin Coolidge is still the perfect master of
himself as the silent man. The ordered disci-
pline Of his speaking organism is one of his
most marked characteristics. He is thrifty of
words in all his utterances. He speaks when
he thinks it is well that he should be heard.
When he chooses to be taciturn he is taciturn,
asking no mans consent.
An occasion in point was the white house
breakfast given to members of the Republican
national committee. Whatever they may have
expected, most of them, if not all, hoped the
president would have something to say about
the political situation and outlook. Particular
ly they hoped he would add a vocal postscript,
SO to speak, to the written note of last August
about not choosing to run again = 1928.
A supplementary delverance was looked for
between the fruit course and the oatmeal, but
there was nothing doing. Ditto between oat-
meal and the bacon, eggs and toast that fol-
lowed. Ditto again between this course and
the wheat cakes, Vermont maple syrup, sau-
sage and coffee. Ditto the third time after
the smoke was curling up to the lofty ceiling.
Others had the hardihood to say something
about politics and the public pulse in their re-
spective bailiwicks. Mr.. Coolidge listened, but
said nothing. The flow of conversation ceased
now and then SO that the host might ia the
lead. He took it now and again, hut not in
the direction of politics. There were the
Twelve IuOliIcuLOuS WOluS llOdtllX Ill lie IUcuIdl
vision Of the sixteen guests, seeming like an
unfinished story. Eager ears awaited. A
dozen other spoken words would have gratified
them but they never came, and the guests
finally went away wondering if Calvin Coolidge
could be persuaded to accept draft next June.
President Coolidge may or may not have
something to say in his coming message to con-
gress that will clear away every doubt that has
arisen about his announcement last August If
he refers to the subject either directly or by
implication, it will only be because of a convic-
ton that general public good would be served
thereby. Otherwise the subject would be one
Of too great delicacy. He cannot fail to be
aware of the widespread popular wish in ia
vor Of his standing for reelection, but that is a
matter for others rather than himself to take
public cognizance Of. Apparently he does not
even discuss it privately with his political init
mates. Certain it is that he did not take the
Republican organization leaders into his inner
confidence at the white house breakfast. Then
It may be added that thrift Of words is one of
the outstanding virtues Of the president.

There was no cringng. There were no hys-

lookout on the Santa Maria sighted land dimly
discernible in the west, where CHRISTOPHER Co
lumbus himself, late on the previous night, had
noted distant light.
1t was two months and nine days since the
little company of lightweight men, in three
tiny caravels of less than a hundred tons each,
two of them mere open boats without decks, had
boldly sailed out from the Canary Islands into
the uncharted Atlantic, a sea which all of them
save their leader had always believed stretched
limitlessly to the west, without end and with
out farther shore.
Faith alone, faith in himself, faith in the ac-
curacy Of his own conclusions, held Columbus
to his westward course. And that faith was
justified a thousand times over. For the sue
cess of Columbus not only revealed the exist
ence Of new world, not only led voyagers to
the settlement Of what was destined to be, CEN
turtles later, this Wonderful country in which
we Americans now dwell and prosper, but it
also aroused an old world out of the stagnation
and torpor of medievalism
Modern history began with the voyage of
Columbus. Europe needed tonic, and sorely.
Discovery of the new world was the tonic 1t
came contemporaneously with invention of
printing. It proved to the common run Of men
that the scientists of the fifteenth century had
not been mere dreamers, like the necromancers
astrologers, alchemists and clustered philoso
piers that preceded them.
Europe began to think. For Europe suddenly
found something to think about at the same
time that means for the interchange OF
lthought-printing and paper-came to Eu-
ropes hand.
| In the same era that civilized man found
himself possessed of a desire to see his cviliza-
ton expand, civilized man, thanks to Column
bus, found that there was plenty of room in
the world in which that civilization might
expand.
| Columbus Day is generally observed not
solely because of what America owes to Column
bus, but also because of what the whole WorlJ
owes to Columbus.

Mr.. Carroll Is ParOled

Earl Carroll has been paroled from prison,
and Broadway once again is to be RECALLED by
productions guided by the master hand OF one
Of the stages leading techncians. There was
once time when Mr.. CAROLS technical ability
did him no good, but that is now thing OF
the past. He will be more careful hereafter.
The terms of Mr.. CAROLS parole must
rrieve him tremendously. He may not fire.
uuent saloons and must not drink any lntox-
eating liquors. He must avoid violating the
law" All Of which should be rather irksome,
especially to man of CAROLS caliber.
It is to be presumed from the fact that the
department Of justice saw fit to liberate Car
roll that it believes he has learned his lesson
from his sojourn at Atlanta. Whether he did
or not is questionable. On the face Of it, II
would seem that it is about as reasonable to
expect Carroll to change his habits after he IS
freed from parole as it is for leopard to dis
card his spots.
The only good thing that has come from Car
rolls penitentiary sentence is a warning to his
fellow producers not to carry their craze for
publicity too far. Carroll had an idea that he
could get newspaper front page space and at
the same time, if he ever came to court. lie him
self out and administer coat of whtewash.
He did not, and other producers are likely to
take his case as an example and profit thereby.
On the other hand, there are regrettable
angles to the case. 1t seems unfortunate that
the department Of justice should have released
Carroll instead of holding him for his full term.
More unfortunate it is that he could not hav.,
been given longer sentence. The longer Car
roll could have been kept off Broadway the
better it would have been for Broadway and
for the average theatregoer.
