CHAPTER II ! "What's this Hollis hanging around the house for, all the time?" Grandmother Pentland asked. sharp ly. when she and Emmy stood in the backyard beside her smart little closed car.
 "Why-I don't know-He and Perry arc good friends" Emmy fal- tered, 'and we all like him." She never had stopped to figure out why Robb came to the house so often. He just came, that was all. ''Nonsense! He's after you" Grand mother Pentland said. and her lips came together with a snap. Her black eyes seemed to pierce the darkness like twin gimlets. How old are you. Emmy. now?"
 ''Seventeen."
 ''Hmm-Well, your mother met your father when she was about your age" the old lady went on. Don't you do what she did. mind! Don't you marry a good looking face and . tenor voice-and then be sorry for 1t all the rest of your life."

 "Oh. no!-No!" Emmy's voice was . little wailing cry.
 Well. then. keep your head on your shoulders! And remember the good old proverb: Marry not for money. but marry where money is. There's no better advice for . poor Sirl like you. Emmy"
 She climbed nimbly into her au- itomobile and tucked . fur robe snug ly around her knees.

OUGHT TO CHANGE SYSTEM.

The dispatches say that the figure of Herbert Hoover towers above the short session of Con gress and speculation to his attitude on oues- tions will color all that Congress does That suggests why new Congress should take charge at the first session after it's election and the new President ought to be presiding at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue when if cohVenes. President that is to retire in March IS just as much lame duck" as Senator or Representative who is about to make his final DOW as a public official even if the retirement IS due to the circumstance that he did not
 choose to run again.
 There is something wrong with system that makes President who has been as popular and efficient as Calvin Coolidge look like a white chip during the closing days of his Administra- tion President Coolidge ought to have things all his own way, without even Congress on his hands until the election is all wound up. and then President Hoover and the new Congress ought to have a slate to write on as they start off with the 1928 program

Uncle Sam Comes Into His Own.
(New York Times.o


 Troy is to have monument to Uncle Sam He certainly is as much entitled to one as John Bull or John Chinaman--perhaps even more en- titled, while he. like Brother Jonathan is at least founded on fact-if Trojan history is to be believed.
 There is confusion about the story Ac- eording to Frost's Naval History of the United states, there a Government inspector at Troy during the War of 1872 named Samuel Wilson. A contractor named Ebert Anderson came there to purchase provisions for the army which were put in casks marked '.E. A--U S. One of Wilson's employees, puzzing over the initials, and recalling his employers nickname said they must refer to "Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam.
 There are several slightly different versions or the story, and one high authority (Webster,s New International Dictionary says it Hacks proof Perhaps it will be forthcoming from 'ne iadles or the Troy Chapter of the Daught hters or the American Revolution, who have under taken to erect the monument at Mr Wilson's grave. He died in Troy in 1854

Second Thoughts on the Southern Vote.
(New York World )


 We wish that could agree with our neighbor the Herald Tribune when it says that the voters who put four States of the solid South into the Republican column manifested high courage and intellectual independence. They have done great work for the South and for the future of American politics"
 Greatly should regret to any de- crease in the number of Democratic voters throughout the Nation. we should regard this loss the breakdown of sectonalism in the South Such an interpretation does not fit the facts of Tues days election. The vote for Hoover in the Southern States has steadily increased as the be- lated returns have come in from the baekwoods districts, where religious prejudice and Ku Kuck- cry strongest. Note also the summation of the result by former Representative Upshaw, lead CT of the Democratic bolters in Georgia: This is not Republivan victory in the South It is the triumph of the anti-Smith Democrats"
 More specifically, the result represents the tri- umph of the Anti-Saoon League and the allied forces of intolerance. In some communities so strong were the prejudces that those who dis played high courage and intellectual ndepend- enee' were the Democrats who voted for the standard bearer of their party Neither in the vote of the four Southern States which went Republican nor in that of the six which remain ed Democratic able to detect hopeful signs of declining seetionalsm In the one case an appeal to long-atent but newly aroused preudices determined the result, and in the other adherence to old prejudices were the decisive influence

A PLEA FOR TOLERANCE.
By CALVIN COOLIDGE, President of


 If to maintain position of under standing and gcod will with the nations abroad, must continue to maintain the senti- ments at home. We situated differently in this respect from any other country All the other great powers have a comparatively homo geneous population, close kindred in race and blood and speech, and commonly little divided in religious beliefs Our great nation is made up of the strong and virie pioneering stock of nearly all the countries of the world. We have a variety of race and language and religious be- lief If any of these different peoples fall into disfavor among us there comes a quick reaction against the rest of from the relatives and friends in their place of origin which affects the public sentiment of that country, even though it may not be actually expressed in the official action of their government. Such mis- understandings interfere with friendly rea- tions, harmful to trade and retard the general progress of civilization. We all subscribe to the principle of religious liberty and toler ation and equality of rights This principle is in accordance with the fundamental law of the land It is the very spirit of the American Constitution. We all recognize and admit that it ought to be put into practical operation. We know that every argument of right and reason requires such action. Yet in time of stress and public agitation have too great a tendency to disregard this policy and indulge in race hatred, religious intolerance and disregard of equal rights Such sentiments are bound to react upon those who harbor them. Instead of being benefit they positive injury. We do not have to examine history very far before see whole countries that have been blighted, whole civilizations that hay been shattered by spirit of intolerance. They destructive of order and progress at home and a danger to peace and good will abroad. No better example exists of Liberation than that which is exhibited by those who wore the blue toward those who the gray. Our condition today is not merely that of one people under one flag but of thoroughly united people who have bitterness and enmity which once threatened to them pass away, and spirit of kindness and good will reign over them all.
