The Cryptogram.

There are many ''ifs' in President
Coolidge's statement that he docs
not choose to run for President in
1928" They are implied ifs" to be
supplied by the interpreters of his
message. He has, indeed. set a cryptic
gram for the country to solve. 1t is
Midsummer and in general the times
are dull. Transatlantic flying has be-
come commonplace and no longer
thrills the country. The Geneva con-
ference has been brought to the point
Of impasse at which there Is no acute
interest in the proceedings. The Mis-
sfssippi floods have subsidized. Every
thing is quiet and normal. Now come
the ten words Of Delphic brevity and
high potency for meaning, and in
stantly the country is busy in inter-
probation.
To those who look askance at every
thing relating to Mr.. Coolidge's pur-
poses this message may be an incite-
ment to suspicion. To those who have
faith in the sincerity Of the man it
means no more than what 1t precisely
says. To those who regard him as an
adroit politician it is bid for dem
onstration Of that Irresistible de-
mand" that has heretofore compelled
modesty to assume the role Of willing
ness. Is it an overture for solicita-
ton? Is 1t a shifting of responsibility
for a disregard Of the most exact
mathematical definition Of third
term?
If the President is angling for a
public demand for the continuation of
his services he has chosen good bait
His cryptogram is better for such a
purpose than the most alluring worm
that was ever put on a hook. But
there stands that eff" and no man
can tell whether there Is any ground
for any eff" whatever in the case.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

Bern. In these days Of frequent
Geneva conferences Switzerland is the
diplomatic Mount Olympus. Mr.. Mof-
fats new father-in-law Is the former
Undersecretary Of State and recently
named Ambassador to Turkey, with a
long and notable record in our foreign
service. The bride and groom are
already enroute to Geneva on one
ship and Ambassador Grew and his
wife are aboard another ship headed
for Constantinople. Mr.. Moffat has
been in the foreign service since his
graduation from Harvard in 1919. He
first came into the public eye last
year when he was assigned as White
House ceremonial officer" to assist
Mrs. Coolidge in tricky details Of ETH
quette in high social functions of
state. Recently he had been assigned
as first secretary to the new legation
at Ottawa. Canada, but this is super
seeded by his transfer to Bern.

The Capitol has emerged with a
fresh coating of paint-gray, instead
OF white or near white. After striving
for more than century to maintain
a white exterior on the combination
marble and sandstone structure, the
architect of the Capitol has given up
the task and now for the first time
the building presents a uniform gray
color, even to the huge dome. The
two marble wings are stained and
weathered by age and made a dingy
contrast to white paint which has for
merly been applied each Summer to
the limestone center section and the
cast iron dome. So now the center
section and dome have been matched
up to the dark gray marble. 1t re-
mains to be seen what Congress will
think about the innovation.

Have YOU an open mind?

Have you an open mind?
A great many people are grievously
offended at anything new; some, on
the other hand. instantly resent tried
and true things.
Surely the golden mean Of an open
mind, ready to hear quietly, but not
willing to be stampeded just because
matter is new, is the best.
If one believes so, he will be In
terested in one of the oldest pro
nouncements in the world on this
subject, to be found in the second
book of Lucretius' poem on the nature
of the universe.
apply now. we entreat, your mind
to true reason.
For a new question struggles
earnestly to gain your ears, a new
aspect of things to display itself.
But there is nothing so easy as
not to be at first more difficult &c
believe than afterwards: and nothing
too, so great. so marvellous, that all
do not gradually abate their admira
ton Of it.
Look up at the brigiN, and un-
sullied hue Of heaven and the stars
which 1t holds within it, wandering
all about, and the moon and the sun s
light of dazzling brilliancy: if all
these things were now for the first
time, if I say they were now suddenly
presented to mortals beyond all en-
pectation. what could have been
named that would be more marvellous
than these things, or that nations
beforehand would less venture to be
lieve could be? Nothing, methinks. so
wondrous strange had been this sight
yet, how little. you know, wearied
as all are to safety with seeing, any
one now cares to look up into heavens
glittering quarters!
Cease, therefore. to be dismayed
by the mere novelty and so to reject
reasons from your mind with loathing
weigh the questions rather with
keen judgment and if they seem tC
you to be true. surrender, or if they
are a falsehood. grid yourself to the
encounter"
Lucretius spoke up for the bound
lessneSs of tho universe-and some
1.400 years later men laughed at Co
lumbus, and feared lest he would sal
off the edge Of the world.
The play Of atoms on atoms, Lucre
titus held, finally will wear the world
to pieces. So we come to. an oft-quotet
page, one OF the famous quotations
Of classical literature, in which is
pictured the aged plowman shaking
his head because the world is not like
it used to be-" The page:
I'm this way the wall of the great
world around shall be stormed anC
fall to decay and crumbling ruin.
YES, and even now the age is en-
feebled and the earth, exhausted by
bearing, scarce produces little living
creatures, she who produced all races
and gave birth to the huge bodies OF
wild beasts.
For methinks no golden chain lei
down to earth from heaven above the
race of mortal beings. nor did the sea
and waves, which lash the rocks, pro
duce them, but the same earth bare
them which now feeds them out OF
herself.
Moreover she first spontaneously
of herself produced for mortals gOodly
corn crops and joyous vineyards; OF
herself gave sweet fruits and glad
pastures; which nowadays scarce at
tain any size when furthered by our
labor: we exhaust the oxen and the
strength of the husbandmen: we wear
out or iron, scarcely fed after all by
the titled fields; so niggardly are they
Of their produce and after so much
labor do they let it grow.

Awaiting Gov. Fuller's Decision.

Tonight Gov. Fuller of Massachu-
sets win announce his decision in the
case of Sacco and Vanzetti, who are
condemned to die for murder during the
week ending August 10. He has made
a thorough study of the case, having
referred it in detail to a board Of adj
visers, himself personally interview.
ing many of the witnesses at the trial
and finally comforting with the Judge
who presided at that trial. He has
not been moved by clamor or petition
in behalf Of the convicted men to de.
part from the course of procedure
which he has deemed most suitable.
The governor of the State can con-
firm the sentences and allow the law
10 take it's course next week, or, IL he
IL in doubt as to the justice of the con-
victions, he may pardon the two men
and set them free. Or he may COM
mute their sentences to life imprison-
lnent, or, finally, he may grant a re.
prieve to allow time for the enactment
or a Specidl law permitting Tetildl
which in the present state Of the stat
utes Of Massachusetts cannot be held.
Dispatches from Boston today indicate
this last possibility to be the course
the governor may pursue.
Sacco and Vanzetti and their friends
do not want any mitigation Of SEN
tence or pardon. Contending that they
ere the victims of a miscarriage of
justice, that they are innocent of any
degree OF completely in the crime for
which they have been tried, they de-
mand complete clearance. A pardon
implies confirmation Of guilt, but re-
mits the sentence as an act of mercy
Communication Of the sentence to life
imprisonment Is even less desired by
the pertisans of the condemned men.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

I "And now the aged plowman shakes
his head and signs again and again to
think that the labors of his hands
have come to nothing; and when he
compares present times with times
past. he often praises the fortunes
of his sires and harps on the theme
how the men of old, rich in piety. COM
fortably supported life on scanty
plot of ground, since the allotment
of land to each man was far less of
| yore than now.
1.-THE sorrowful planter, too. Of the
exhausted and shriveled vine inn
peaches the march of time and wearies
! heaven, and comprehends not that all
things are gradually wasting away
| and passing to the grave, quite for
spent by age and length of days"
' Is it not comfortable feeling to
realize that apparently Lucretius was
| quite as wrong, in this matter, as his
old plowman?
The Italian soil. which to him SEEM
ed worn out before the birth of Christ,
still produces excellent vines and other
other crops; fertilization takes the
place Of moaning.
Yet his humane picture of the
man praising the fortune of his sires,
| and harping on the theme, strikes an
everlasting note.
| This 1t is. to create an unforget-
able picture in literature. Lucretius'
plowman is kith and kin to the figures
| in THE AngeluS" and to the pictured
worker in Markham's Man With the
| Hoe"
There Is something intensely pa
| thetic to q modern reader in the
earnest way in which Lucretius sets
about, in his third book. to prove
that death is less than nothing. The
reader is referred to Munro's trans
lation.
We content ourselves here with
| giving some excerpts from the intro
duction to the book. Speaking directly
to Epicurus. LLucretius says:
"Thee, who first was able amid such
thick darkness to raise on high SO
bright beacon and shed a light on
the true interest of life, thee l fol
low, glory of the Greek race, and plant
now my footsteps firmly fixed in thy
imprisoned marks.
Thou, father. art discoverer of
things, thou furnishest us with ia.
therly precepts, and like as bees sip of
all things in the flowerly lawn; we,
oh glorious being, in like manner feed
from out thy pages upon all the gold
en- maxims, golden / say, most worthy
ever of endless life"
Fl. Lionel Rogers, translating this
into the quatrains made popular by
Edward Fitzgerald, gives us the fol
lowing:
20 Thou that first couldst raise from
such dark Night
SO clear a Beacon and thereby make
bright
The Balm of Life: follow after Thee,
Thou Of the Greek Race the one True
| Light!
"Thou, Master, first the Scheme of
Things did gauge
And hardest down to us for Heritage
Those Principles that Thou, most
| glorious.
Hast hived within Thy honey-scented
Page.
For as the Bees in flower strewn
| Garden-WayS
Sip ever sweet of all our Master says
We too drink deep his Wisdom $
golden Wine,
Worthy of all Tomorrow deathless
Days"
