VILLIFIER ADMITS HE LIED .

Some months ago the book by John Hamin
titled Strange Career of Mr.. Hoover-Under Two
Flags" given much publicity and wide circula-
ton.
Now that the election is well out of the way it
appear that on June A. 1892, Hamin signed af-
fdavit admitting that the statements were used
in such way to "lead to false conclusions con-
corning the president The affidavit has but recently
been made public.
Jan. S, HamiI took the stand before the New
York Supreme court and being asked the question:
do you repudate the book" answered. Eyes, it is
entirely false. He said he was sorry he had written
the book.
It seems passing strange that public man o.
private citizen can be watonly lied about and the
perpetrator can go scot free with simple admission
that he was a liar

CALVIN COOLIDGE, STALWART AMERICAN
AND STATESMAN

When Calvin Coolidge retired from the. Presi-
dency less than four years ago it was quite generally
quit the turmoil and strife which follows every step
and turn of the Chief Executive Of the Nation, with
the full strength of mental and physical vigor of
man of his years.
It was quite generally claimed he was man
without nerves." and that the perplexing problems
with which he had to deal caused him but little
mental worry.
Mr. Coolidge lived life of abstemiousity He
temperate in all things He was a lover of the
outdoors He came from sturdy New England stock
with record of longevity beyond the span of the av-
erage citizen. It is said that a month before his
passing he had undergone a complete medical ex-
animation and was pronounced to be physically fit
All of which goes to show that, after all, man
knows but little about this thing called life
Since his retirement to private life Mr.. Coolidge
had sought to keep and be kept out of the public
eye. Nevertheless his sound judgment on affairs
affecting this nation particularly appreciated by
leaders of all political beliefs. He being used
in conjunction with Al Smith, another great political
leader in effort to iron out some of the perplexng
problems affecting the very heart of this nation.
His country and his countrymen needed his ad-
vice and support. 1t the hope that he would be
spared for many years.
AS general rule ex-presidents do not live many
years after their retirement True they usually
well along in years before they elevated to the
chief executorshp. AS expresdents CO. Mr.. Coolidge
Mr. Coolidge died as simply and as quietly as he
had lived. While the entire nation mourned, simple
services conducted by Minnesota man in the
small Congregational church at Northampton.

of his fathers and laid to rest the bleak hillside
cemetery at Plymouth, VT, by the side of other
Coodges, rather than having been buried with
pomp in historic Arlington cemetery Washington.
D. c.
Mr.. Coolidge was American in every fibre of his
being. He had the New England characteristic Of
brevity of speech. This very brevity conveyed to
the nation in all his public utterances clarity Of
vision surpassed by other man of his time
His column is broken and his work was not fin

completed. In his travelling to that undiscovered
country from whose bourne traveller returns" the
entire nation mourns, and justly So

Just q Little Bit Too Perfect.

Not that 1t matters much, but 1t
might be wished that Prof Moley were
somewhat less insistent and emphatic
in his declaration that there has been
no friction in his administrative posi-
tion and no pressure to effect his re-
magazine plan has been under con-
temptation for nearly six months and
has just now suddenly come to fruition.
Not that 1t matters much. to repeat.
But somehow the urgent denials Of
anything wrong in his official relstions
do not leave the impression Of complete
candor, such as Is to be desired in the
conductor OF as important and inf1u-
ential a periodical of opinion and advo-
cacy as that still unnamed organ which
he is 10 head And speaking of names.
it is incidentally interesting to note
that although the publication Of this
important medium of public opinion
has been, as Prof Moley states, in
preparation for half year nobody has
had an inspiration for a title. There
Is so much in title. 1t would have
been much more dramatic to state the
name Of the magazine at the same time
with the news Of the departure Of the
editor be from the Federal official
family circle. Now the anxious public
assured of the services Of a brilliant
editorial conduct Of the periodical,
must wait for its designation. Just a
little better team work on the part OF
the creators of this golden opportunity
for Prof. Moley to advance national
recovery through commendatory print
er's ink would have prevented this
lapse. which makes it just little diff
ficult to accept the version Of long
planned and wholly harmonious de-
parture from craftsmanship for jour-
nalism.

Train Wreck Scares
Colombian Travellers.
Fl TEMPO, Bogota.-The dreadful
disaster month ago ON the line OF
the Ferrocarril del Nordeste. about
400 meters south Of the Ventaquemada
Station, wherein 81 passengers were
killed and 43 more or less gravely IN
jured. has had the effect Of reducing
travel by train when 1t Is possible to
reach desired destinations by other
modes of transport. 1t will be poigp-
antly remembered that this accident
occurred on q sector of the route both
steep and curved, in q sparsely in
habited and otherwise desolate region,
and when the darkness Of night was
most opaque.
Since then scores required to travel
to other parts of the republic have
journeyed either via the various lines
Of interurban omnibuses, or hired
other private conveyanceS, In case they
did not possess their own. Yet it can
not be confidently urged that this other
mode of travel guarantees an i'm
pervious security. Here in Bogota We
hear only too often Of public om-
prietors more concerned with their
own profits than with the assured
safety Of the people obliged to ride in
them. In many cases the steering ap-
paratus Is defective. This alone should
make the vehicle incompetent for fur
ther service on the road, at least until
the defect is properly adjusted. Own
erS Of such enterprises, regrettably, too
often feel that they cannot spare the
vehicles from employment long enough
to consummate repairs.
Everywhere are to be deserted other
conveyances sadly deficient in the al
Turing luster Of paint; with volatile and
reverberating tenders and wheels stag
gering on detrited bearings and dis
torted axles. There have been cases
brought to the attention Of the au-
thorities wherein cars travelling at the
rate of no more than 20 kilometers an
hour could not be stopped within dis
tance of 100 meters, SO ineffective were
even the brakes of emergency. Traffic
inspectors would do well to exercise
their prerogatives much more rigOr-
ously, or else the fatalities from motor
travel will soon not only equal, but per-
haps far exceed the somber roster Of
that late immolation to steam.

Suggests Some Measures
For Economic Recovery

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Government experiment OF buy
ing 100000 hogs and paying bonus
OF 81 to 81 a head above the market
price for them and then giving them
to the poor is interesting 1t Is almost
as interesting as paying the cotton
growers for destroying part Of their
cotton crop. This business Of shoveling
out the taxpayers money has wonder
ful possibilities to any one with spark
Of Imagination. For instance, there are
several clothiers here in Washington
who are in distress because of surplus
stocks Of goods. Why does not the
Government buy them up paying
bonus of course? Ny idea would be to
cut up this clothing and distribute 1t
to all the idle old ladies throughout
the land. We could pay these old ladies
good wages for turning this clothing
into lovely hooked rugs. The rugs
could be sent to the reforestation
camps and they would serve to make
the boys" In these camps so coy and
comfortable!
Fortunately for the Washington
builders, they have almost no surplus
houses on hand because for the past
two or three years they have been un-
able to borrow any money with which
to build them However, I know of
one builder who has several. due to
the fact that the Government en-
ployes have not been able to buy them
because the ones who have not been
dismissed have had their wages cut to
the bone. l suggest that the Govern
ment buy these surplus houses, paying
the usual bonus. They could be torn
down and the lumber used to cook part
Of the 100000 pigs.
And then there is the case Of the
poor devil Of jeweler who is on his
last legs financially The Government
should do something for him and other
hundreds like him. Why not buy up
their surplus stocks. paying a bonus.
of course? The gold could be melted
up and made into rings and presented
to the Fiji Islanders to be used as nose
ornaments. We would thus help the
jewelers. and at the same time maintain
our well known reputation for gen.
erosity to foreigners.
Meanwhile the chain food stores are
allowed to raise their prices with i'm
punity and the milk combine, because
of its exorbitant price on milk, is de-
priving thousands of children of this
necessary article Of diet. Oceans of
milk and yet the growing children of
the city having to do without it in or

shall receive their pound of flesh in

orators and the United Mine Workers
lay along three lines|recognitaon of
the union, hours Of labor and wages.
The operators have proposed 1884 .
day and the mine workers have de-
manded IS. The operators have con-
tended for . forty hour work week and
the mine workers for q thirty-hour
week. Somewhere between these hg-
ures for pay and hours Of labor . COM
promise has been reached. It Is also
understood that recognition Of the
union will follow the adoption of the
code.
President Roosevelt has expressed his
qualification that an agreement on q
bituminous code was In sight. 1t Is
quite true that he was prepared to 60
ahead. through the National Recovery
Administration. with the imposition Of
code upon the industry If no agree
ment could be reached. It Is far bet
ter, however, that those most inter-
ested. the operators and the workers,
should make an amicable agreement Of
their own. The Government still has
to consider the proposed agreement
from the point Of view of the consumer.
Increased costs Of production mean in
creased prices-at least they have in
the past. The general consuming pub
lie must feel the aid of increased wages
and a great increase in the number Of
jobs If 1t is to be able to meet the in
creased prices Of commodities. There
must be some balance maintained be-
tween increased costs and wages and
prices. That balance Is the delicate
margin which will mean success or
failure to tire whole, program.
