Cruel TO Wyoming
New York Times)

The presidents curt refusal to "waive his
personal preference" at the request of the Re-
publican state committee in Wyoming, and COR
sent to take another nomination, may be in
terpreted according to the taste and fancy OF
each man who reads it. 1t is one Of those re-
marks, like Captain Cuttle's, the bearing OF
which lies in it's application. Ii the original
announcement by Mr.. Coolidge that he would
not run for the presidency this year meant alb
solutely what it said, this new decination adds
nothing to it. If the other was inconclusive
so is this one. 1t will not prevent the gentle
drafters from going on with their drafting. On
the theory that the president intends to keep
himself entirely out of the fight before the ne
tional convention meets at Kansas City, but is
prepared later to yield to unanimous demand
that he stand again, all his utterances on the
subject, including this last one, can be ex-
planned as being merely "dcvilish sly" But if
that would be consistent with the character of
Mr.. Coolidge, or with the dignity of the presi-
dency, one man can judge as we'll as another.
Several prominent Republicans who have
desperately chung to the hope that the presi-
dent might be persuaded to change his mind
now give it up Senator Fess of Ohio is among
them He regards the turning down of the
Wyoming Republicans as 'fnal' indication
that Mr.. Coolidge will not yield. This infer
ence might easily be borne out by the circum
stances of this latest deliverance by the presi-
dent. He did not need to reply to the Wyom-
ing appeal at all. 1t came only from party
committee. The case was not like complying,
or refusing to comply, with statutory pro-
vision that he must file his consent to have his
name entered in a presidential primary. He
might have ignored the whole thing. And
there is an air of annoyance in the way in
which he dismissed it. 1t is as if he had said
to his private secretary, "Why do they keep
on bothering me about this? Just tell them
that won't do it,
Perhaps the president will soon have Sec
rotary Sanders prepare form letter for such
occasions. It would be convenient to have one
ready when Mr.. Hilles of New York makes his
next approach to the subject Of drafting the
president. To be able to serd him a mimeo-
graphed copy of No. 80 would save time in the
executive Offices !

It is hardly square deal to parents to per-
suade them that their duties and responsible
ties toward their children have been taken over
by governmental and welfare agencies and
then, when the children turn out badly, berate
the parents for neglectfulness.
{. There has been apparent for number oil
years q process of taking out of the parents
ards the guardianship of the child. More
nd more have juvenile courts, the schools, wei
IRE agencies, movements and organizations
assumed responsibility for the physical moral
ard mental well-being Of the nations children,
especially in the more populous areas.
As q consequence, some parents have lost
their sense Of responsibility and their children
have ceased to recognize parental authority.
To criticize parents who have been. encouraged
to resign their Embarrassing duties to the state
or public agencies is unfair.
The accusation that the children of this gen.
GRAFTON are more incorrigible than those of for
mer generations can only be accepted as an
admission that the tremendous amount of child
welfare work done in recent years has been
more harmful than beneficial
Even though the younger generation is more
unruly and wayward-and there are many par
ents who proudly claim that there was never a
better crop of youth than the present-the ad-
vocates of the Spartan theory of child raising
prejudice their case by inveighing against the
alleged indifference Of parents and talking sc
loudly Of the unruly state of the youth Of to-
day.

fectly legitimate question, likely to

who have to count their votes closely
On the other hand, it may be that
the question was put some time
long ago and revealed that the aver.
age visitor never did think of his
government and hardly knew he HAD
one. Personally, your correspondent
has been appalled, at the number OF
fairly intelligent and supposedly
well-informed persons who ask him
whether Borah is a congressman
if congress doesn't meet at the
White House and whether every bi.
city doesn't send a senator here.
The other day your correspondent
discussed some Of these ideas with
Fannie Hurst, the authoress, who
was here to tell a Senate committee
of the horrible things she had seen
in the Pennsylvania mining com
munities. With apologies, he asked
what she thought Of our government
and what her friends thought.
"The outsider who comes to Wash
-ington," said Fannie Hurst, sis
agreeably shocked to learn that there
really is a capital.
1--WE, the we'll known people, pre-
tend to run our government. But
We aren't even close to it. We de-
plore a great many things, but we
never bother to think about them.
We don't act"
Did Miss Hurst, in her goings
about, find any particular interest
among the citizenry on what went
on here?
"Not the slightest" replied Miss
Hurst. IAN important and intelli-
gent type refuses to have anything
to do with it. A wha..' s-the -use
spirit is abroad in the land. And the
intelligent vote in this country, under
our form of government, is really

Expediter Of Trade

Before the Panama Canal was completed
Admiral Mahan, whose fame as a student Of
maritime history spread throughout the world,
wrote that it would in time be of special value
to the great Mississippi basin.
He counted on IN expansion of the trade of
the Middle West which would flow through the
Gulf ports to the West coast Of South America,
the Far East and to the Pacific coast of the
United States. In this as in some Of his other
analyses Mahan was ahead Of his day.
Industry and agriculture in the Mississippi
basin is only beginning to profit from the canal.
The Pacific and Atlantic coasts have profited
most in the past and are using the canal for
intercoaStal trade in ever-increasing tonnages.
About 40 per cent Of the traffic that passes
through Panama is carried by American ships
from one American port to another.
1ntercoastal trade via the Panama Canal has
become one Of the most important factors in
the nations transportation problem. It is inter-
sting to speculate what the effect might be if
= waterway were to be closed. Certainly
.stwide shipping would be hard hit and trans
tinental railroads would benefit tremen-
sly. This Is but another way Of saying that

OFFICIALS RAP
IDEA OF POLICE
ARMY in STATE
NiblaCk'S Bill Is Expected to
Be Smothered in
Legislature.

Indiana doesn't want to billet a
100000 army, to be called the state
police, in the opinion of both Sec
rotary of State Otto c. Fifield and
Chief Robert T. Hulnes of the state
police.
Both asserted that is what pas
sage of the state police measure pro-
posed by State Senator John L. Nj
black would mean.
Niblack has the bill prepared for
introduction at the coming legisla-
tive session. Tt would provide for
mounted constabulary, drilled and
living in barracks, with officers and
enlisted men ranked in the army
manner.
Taking a leaf from Kipling,
Humes points out that Single men
in barracks don't turn into plaster
saints"
Social Standpoint Cited
He criticises the measure from a
social standpoint, on the ground
that unmarried men living in bar
racks do not have the community
interest that men of home respon-
sibilities, do.
Appropriations for expansion of
the present state police force and
giving them power to arrest all law
violatorS is to be asked of the legiS-
1ature by Fifield and the chief.
This expansion, however, will be
along present lines, Humes said.
It will mean that the men employed
will be largely men with homes in
community which they patrol.
"A mounted police force, such as
Senator Niblack proposes, would be
costly experiment and, in my
opinion, without merit" Fifield de-
clared.
Niblacks plan is modelled on the
Royal Northwest mounted police of
Canada and the New York and
Pennsylvania state police laws.
Need More Police
"Our greatest task now is to solve
crime problems in the rural COM
munitieS," said Fifield. This can
not be done without an adequate
state police force, with unrestricted
power of arrest.
IT feel that expansion of the pres
ent force and an educational cam
paign among the law abiding in the
small communities, so that their
cooperation will be enlisted, is the
proper solution. Surely it is less
costly than supporting an army in
barracks"
Humes predicted that the Niblack
bill never will get further than COM
mittee.
There is no chance for such bill |
in Indiana" he predicted.

Superior. Wis, July 24.-@-
President Coolidge has been in

mander of the special service squad
ron, that bandit activities in Mic.
aragua on the part Of Augusta San
dino have apparently ceased entirely
and Sandino himself kas, to all ap.

The report showed that the diff

kept the country in a turmoil since

between the warning .,;:ctions have
fairly well surrendered and giver
pledges Of future law abidingness.
The report showed very satisfac.

cation Of Nicaragua, with complete
absence Of active or armed opposi.
tion to American activities there.
The outlook, therefore, for the
forthcoming election, which Ameri-
can officials will supervise lin No.

dent Coolidge as very favorable.
