Job Applicants Must Wait .

AS thousands of job applicants in
Ohio and Al other states wistfully
awaited encouragement from the
national capital this week, evidence
accumulated that distribution OF
federal patronage is to be deferred
until problems involving the well
fare of all the people have been dis
posed of.
The Roosevelt administration,
now in it's third week of breath
taking activities, continues it's as
sault upon major problems with the
assurance Of a skilled surgeon con-
fident that his methods Of operation
will save a desperately stricken pa
tient. Within two weeks of his in
auguration and within week of
the assembling of congress in extra
ordinary session, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt had caused to be writ
ten into law these two emergency
measures:
Banking legislation which re-
opened most of the nations banks
under government certification of
their soundness and catapulted the
country toward early restoration of
normal financial and economic con-
ditions.
The economy bin empowering the
president to slash pay of govern
ment employees not to exceed Is per-
cent, drastically revise the payments
made to war veterans and eliminate
compensation for non-service-con-
nected disabilities, in his program
for reducing expenditures at least
a half billion dollars in these items
alone.
On the way to enactment as this
weeks sessions of congress began
was the presidents far-reaching re-
lief measure, providing for the cur
tailment of crop production and re-
vival of the farmers purchasing
power And another proposal for
appropriation of 500,000,000 for a
program to create employment
was ready for consideration of the
lawmakers.
AS wave of optimism swept over
the nation, as stock and bond prices
reflected new hope and confidence,
as thousands of kilograms poured
in upon the president applauding
his policies, he drove ahead with
undiminished vigor, determined to
complete his preliminary program
before sanctioning a recess of con-
gress.

WESTMORLAND
INCORPORATION
ACT DEFENDED

A denial of all major charges
that the city of Westmorland was
illegally incorporated at an elec-
tion last March 25 was made yes
terday afternoon in an answer
filed at the county clerks office
by attorneys for the city, refuting
complaint by G. F. Boarts at
tacking the legality of incorpora-
ton.
The answer was prepared by H.
E. McCombie, city attorney, and
P. N. Meyers, associate counsel.
Alleging the legality of all pro-
ceedings surrounding the election,
the attorneys for the city denied
that proceedings to accomplish the
Incorporation did not comply with
the law denied that the board of
supervisors unlawfully fixed bount
daries for the election, denied that
the election board excluded the
public from the polling place when
counting ballots and denied that
anyone not residing within the fix
ed boundaries voted at the elec-
ton.
On the other hand, the answer
affirmed that the election was
called at the petition of more than
so qualified electors of Westmor-
land, that all legal steps were tax
en- and that all persons qualified to
vote at the election did vote.

UNCLE WIGGILY IN THE SNOW

Uncle Wiggily snuggled down in
the funny travelling automobile
house with Buttercup, the yellow
cat, and Snicky, the jolly old dog,
who had been lost, but who was
now home again.
How do you like it, Uncle Wig
gily?" softly barked Snicky, as the
peddler man, who sat in the front
store part of the auto, amid his
pots, pans, soap and thread drove
on up hill and down hill. Don't
you think this is quite jolly?"
"I like it very much" said the
rabbit gentleman, twinkling his
pink nose, as he watched Butter
cup shopping around and smelling
in the different corners. Cats are
always that way, you know, very
anxious to find out about every
thing in the room.
We'll, But, is everything all
right?" asked Snicky with a big
smile as he watched the yellow
pussy. He called the cat But, a
short name for Buttercup.
"Yes, everything seems to be the
same as when you and I were left
behind when our house went Oh
without u.s." Buttercup answered
Now I must wash my face and
paws, for pretty soon our master
will come back to feed us" she

"All right" barked the dog. "But
until then let's have some fun"
So the three friends sat in the
cosy little auto house, the front
part of which was travelling store

many other things.
All of a sudden the auto stop

eyes, opened them quickly. Snicky,
who was trying to pull stickery
Sticker out of his tail, looked up.
So did Uncle Wiggily and the rab-
bit saw big man coming from
the front store part of the auto
into the house part. The man
looked at his dog and he looked at
his cat and then he saw Uncle
Wiggily. The man was much sur
prised to see a dressed rabbit in
his house, and, not meaning any
harm, reached out a hand to catch
Mr.. Longears.
"Oh, dear me! I don't want that

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. = When
Precedent and senatorial privileges
are at stake, the United States
senate goes the limit in fixing
things just so.
Hence i2 senators are changing
their chairs in the august cham
ber today, simply because one SEN
ator died.
1t all arises from the fact that
the late Senator Jones (Rep)
Washington, had much senate sem
iority and therefore a choice aisle
seat.
Senator Grammer was appointed
to succeed Jones. He has been
permitted to occupy his predeces-
Sor's envied chair. Then Senator
Reed (Rep) Pennsylvania, the
oldest in point of service among
those senators who do not have aisle
seats and want them, decided he
would like Jones place.
He is entitled to it, and thus far
the matter is simple enough. But
Reed is vacating a seat just one
removed from the coveted center
aisle. So the next in line is NOV
ing into the Pennsylvanian's chair.
And so on. Twelve senator's in all
are changing places, each in ac-
cordance with his rights of prece-
dence and each to a more desirable
place.
Senator Grammer, the newcomer,
goes to a far corner seat.
There are senators who Spurn
aisle seats. Senator Borah (Rep.)
Idaho, for instance, sits three seats
from the center aisle in the next
to-last Republican row. Senator
Norris (Rep) Nebraska. sits be-
side him. They will not change.
| Next to Norris used to sit Jones,
now dead. The Nebraskan recalled
that he and Jones sat side-by side
for years in the house long before
they came to the senate to be desk
mates again.
The decorous senate allots seats
to each member, although senators
do not always stay in their desig-
mated place House members
scramble for their seats. Norris re-
called that there was a bit of

CALVIN COOLIDGE

THE silent little man from New Eng
land, who, like SO many of his pre-
decessors in the White House, rose from
the farm to the highest office in the
country, is no more.
Calvin Coolidge was not a great man,
judging him by some of his presidential
predecessors, but he was by no means
the least of them and on an average
basis, his rank was high.
Throughout the long path from city
councilman of Northampton, to Presi-
dent of the United States, he filled every
office he held with credit to himself and
to those who placed their trust in him.
No man who sat in the White House
over gave a greater simple dignity to
the high office of President.
There was nothing cheap or tawdry
about Calvin Coolidge. In this most
modern of ages, he was unique among
public men. Outwardly he might be the
political leader of the nation, but IN
wardly he was still simple farmers
boy, as spiritually rugged and steadfaSt
to the old fundamental ideals which
stand for all that is best in life, as are
the granite hills of Vermont from whence
he came.
Pretension was completely foreign
to him. His silence, which won him the
sobriquet of Silent Cal', was as ma
tural to him as the nasal twang with
which he spoke 1t was not reticence,
nor altogether shyness. When he had
something to say he said it. When there
was nothing to say he kept quiet. This
is an old New England trait, fast fall
ing into the discard, but it might we'll
be adopted all over the country with ben
eft to individuals and the nation. We
talk too much and mostly about non
essentials.
Surprise is expressed that Calvin
Coolidge, still comparatively young
man, and so far as generally known sup
posed to be in good health, should die
of a heart attack.
1t is only another proof of the great
strain that we have placed on the office
of President of the United States and
an additional argument for simplifying
the duties of the President. Seven years
in the White House is enough to put any
man in his grave no matter how rugged
he may be.
Few of our Presidents live long after
relinquishing office. Seldom have there
been two ex-Presidents living at the same
time. Coolidge had been out of office
less than four years but it is evident
that he felt the effects of the strenuous
duties of the office, even though he
served in period comparatively quiet
politically.
The sorrow at his passing is universal
throughout the country. Men might
differ with him politically and in score
of other ways, yet they could not help
admiring him. He was simple, kindly,
courteous, and above all he was honest
honest with himself and with every
one else and in everything he did. Hon
esty was the corner stone of his life.
With SO many men in high stations
being revealed as scalawags of the worst
sort, the honesty of Calvin Coolidge is
