The Faith of
A Liberal
By Morris r. Cohen. fHolt;.
$3.75.)

By Morris II. C0hen. (Hott,'
$3.75.)
This volume contains selected
essays written by Morris r. Cohen
over the last rs years. The pieces
cover a wide range of specific sub
jects; in general, however, they are
concerned with DR.. Cohen's appli-
cation OF liberal principles to the
matter in hand, whatever it may be.
That being the case, and detailed
review of such varied material being
impossible in limited space, it will
perhaps be enough here to examine
his statement of what liberalism is.
He holds it to be an attitude
rather than creed, an attitude
stemming from faith in lkogress
and in the capacity Of human nature
to improve. 1t cannot at any time
be rigidly defined, he says. for its
essence is a spirit which questions
rather than accepts. DR.. Cohen
rejects communism equally with
conservatism on this ground-the
Communists do not question but
are certain that they know every
thing which needs to be known. In
the name of liberalism they take
the most bigoted, least liberal at
titude in the world. Genuine lib
eralism, DR.. Cohen holds, is the
spirit which flourished in the United
States during the 18th century.
Under the shadow of our growing
tendency toward European i'm
perialism it has since declined.
Today we are faced by four major.
threats to our liberal tradition
militarism, governmental Dictator
ship, economic sovereignty of cor
porate directors and political parties
which claim to have answers to
all questions.
There are essays in the volume
on science, education, law, justice,
philosophy, religion, prominent lib
erals, liturature and politics. Not
all of these stand the test of time.
Papers written during the de-
preston years, for instance, now
have the sound of the doctrinaire
Socialist plainly on them. But Dr.
Cohen himself admits that the
quest for truth is constantly
changing one. NC. r.

more than a bodyguard. He held
their friendship and esteem, and
concerned himself with their peace
of mind and their health, as well as
their safety. He planned their out

their vacation trips, and even ad-
vised them of the best shows in town,
or of other diversions he thought
they might enjoy.
Kept Them Out of Doors.
He made a good trout fisherman
out of Calvin Coolidge, and taught
him how to shoot quail. He took
long walks with Wilson and Mrs.
Gait in Rock Greek Park during the
courtship days, and he strolled with
Coolidge on F street window-shop-
ping tours. He went horseback
riding with Harding, played golf
with all but Roosevelt, and accom-
panied them on their auto trips
and yachting cruises.
But it was "at home" that he got
to know them best.
Calvin Coolidge used to take him
to the buffers pantry in the White
House and make cheese sandwiches
for him, saying to him once: III
bet no other President of the United
States ever made cheese sandwiches
for you" The colonel said it was
a great honor and Coolidge added
gloomily Il have to furnish the
cheese, too"
Woodrow Wilson treated him with

 Should Be Revision
 Skinner said his figures did not take into consideration a favorable return for owners.
 He agreed with Robert Scholl, counsel for the Alaska Development Board. there should be a revision in rates for some freight. He said il had been many years since rates were revised.
 John Jago, Shipping Administra- continued to operate the ships it tion counsel. said that if the VISA could only do so at a loss. He said il might be worth considering whe- ther a subsidy should be requested for the Alaskan service.
 Jag0 said he had been much i'm pressed at arguments of the Govern or of Alaska, the Alaska Develop n,ent Board and Alaska's Attorney General. Ralph Rivers for better, cheaper service.
 Counsel for both the companies and government asked for DrOmDt commission decision on the request for rate increases, saying the Alaska fleets might be returned to their owners soon.

Watertown, March 23-This week marks the 47th anniversary of the opening of Sulliva1's Pharmacy. Ar- irving in town in November, 1898, Dan Sullivan, fresh from the Uni- 'ersity of Michigan School of Phar- macy, who had previously worked in crug stores in Woodbury and his old home town, E1olyoke, Mass, opened his drug store at the corner Of Depot and Main Streets. At least 100 local residents had assured him another pharmacy in the town would not pay.
 MT. Sullivan has stated that after 47 years he can honestly say he has not had dull moment. His is the oldest store in the town today un- der the original ownership and he has probably been in business longer than any druggist in Western Con- necticut.
 MT. Sullivan recalls that in the early days Watertown was at the beginning of its growing stage. There was no rulS Sirg water, no sewerage system, electric lights, and only dirt rosds. Main Street at the time he started in business had just a few stores including John Tay- lor's Meat Market, Margraff's Har- ness Shop, Bryant's Shoe Store, Hitchcock's Hardware Store, Keilty's Grocery Store, a barber shop, and Summers Hotel.
