Coolidge and Dawes As the situation appears today, LaFollette will have twenty-eight of the twenty-nine Wis consin delegates to the Republican national con vention, Hiram Johnson will have the thirteen South Dakota delegates, and Calvin Coolidge will have the inconsequential remainder amount ing to one thousand sixty-eight. Scarcely a fair division so far as Mr. Coolidge is concerned, but it will answer all practical purposes for an ac clamation nomination. By the time the roll-call reaches one-half the list of states and island possessions the nomi nation of Mr. Coolidge will have been made and the shouting will be in progress. One remarkable thing appears in the approach ing convention and that is the absence of the fa vorite son foolishness among the states, hereto fore a convention feature that has scarcely ever failed to ap|>ear. The people seem to know, exactly what they want this election and they are taking the short est route to obtain it. They want Coolidge and we trust they will want Dawes just as enthuse iastically. With such a ticket and a short, sharp, plat form the whole thing is fixed. The Difference in Investigations As Athens, in the words attributed to Pericles by the historian, was the school of ancient Greece, so it may well be that Senator Borah, chairman of the committee appointed to exam ine into the fitness* of Senator Burton Kendall Wheeler to retain public office han provided a standard and a form to which congressional in quisitors will hereafter repair as thev sot out upon fact-finding expeditions. Thought the in quiry headed by the Idaho senator has not yet come to n formal close, it is safe to say that his conduct of the investigation into the charges brought against Wheeler in connection with his employment by the geologist Gordon Campbell has added still further to Borah’s prestige as a senator and a public man. It may be true that Borah, from the point of view of the seeker after sensations, has been in no position to compete with the vaudeville artists that have proved so entertaining to those who as reporters or as mere spectators have watched the Walsh and the Wheeler investigating committees in action. Yet the absence of ex-train robliers and widow-di vorcees has not proved the handicap that one might have supposed, and there can be little doubt that Chairman Borah himself is perfectly satisfied that his committee has obtained its due need of publicity. The procedure followed by the Idaho senator has been entirely different from that which has characterised the sessions of the oil and Daugh erty investigations. The atmosphere and the procedure are those of the court room; the evi dence is carefully weighed, sifted and analyzed and only such evidence is admitted into the rec ord ns can be defined and labelled ns primary evidence. The substance of no hearsay conversa tion is allowed, nor is the official reporter given an opportunity to transcribe to the printed page the conversations that witnesses may have had with or concerning dead men. This marks a radi cal departure from the methods lately in vogue in congressional investigations. Again Senator Borah keeps strictly to the mat ter nt issue, namely whether or not the junior senator from Montana violated a federal statute by appearing for money, as is charged before a government department in behalf of a client who had employed him. Tie In not interested in any other matters that may be brought out, how ever irmj>t Ing siirh inquisitorial wayfaring may be. and he steers a course that leads him well, clear of the seething caldron of politics. It would lie difficult for a casual observer to prove, from anything that Borali says.or does, that his polit ical creed happens to lie that of the Republican party or that he is a member of the party whose administration is now under fire by senatorial investigating committee. Borah spoke the truth when ho said at one of its early meetings that his committee was to make and not to follow the precedents establish ed by other congressional committees of inquiry. Nor is it likely that his example will be lost upon other senatort* in whole hands congress may place the discharge of one of the legitimate functions of that body, that of throwing the spotlight upon the administration of the affairs of government. • Continued Good Management Mr. Coolidge’s announcement that he will rec ommend tn the incoming ntUlonnl committee the selection of William M. Butler for the chair manship of the committee has met with univer sal approval among llepublizans. The manner in which Ml*. Butler has conducted the primary campaign in behalf of Mr. Woolidge is an assur ance in itself that his management of the presi dential campaign in the fall will be equally s.uc ceasful. Thia early uitne logical but uec-. essary. Chairman Adams, as set forth in the statement issued by President Coolidge, having after conferences indicated that after the organ ization of the incoming national committee he did not wish to continue as chairman, the im mediate problem was to avoid any possible hia tus jn the actual planning of the campaign. Thia has been accomplished by the selection of Mr. Butler. As now arranged, the Republican party is thus profiting by the services of Chairman Adams who will continue at his post till after the con vention. and also of Mr. Butler, who will have the responsibility of conducting the new cam paign. Both gentlemen have already had lengthy conferences which will be continued to a complete adjustment of conditions and per fection of plans. It is of interest that the more substantial Democratic newspapers) have already confessed that the Republicans have by this move won a tactical advantage. One or two months’ addi tional time has been secured for the careful planning of the campaign which the Democratic organs sadly admit cannot but work for a more efficient scheme of campaign management and a better prospect for Republican success. It is characteristic of President Coolidge that although precedent has long established the right of the presidential candidate to designate his national chairman by reason of the close personal relations exisiting between the candi date and the chairman yet in the wording of his announcement the president was punctilious to make it plain that he was merely’ suggesting the consideration of this name to the members of the incoming committee who will legally’ have the tusk of the actual election of the chairman. Like President Coolidge, Mr. Butler is not given to sensational methods nor to personal ex ploitation. He organized the pre convention cam paign so quietly and yet so effectively that his work attracted little attention except ns one state after another elected delegates instructed or pledged to th© support of Mr. Coolidge in the convention. He is the type of man the country would expect President Coolidge to select. “The Price She Paid” It is an every day story that may be picked up in almost every community in this big and broad country, certainly’ in every large city. Var iations of it are common. They appear in more or less detail every day in daily newspapers. As the story runs: She wanted to “live her own life” among those who understood her. But a few years before she was an imihigrant, new to America, which she had conceived to be a land of freedom; possibly she had understood freedom to mean license. She became a brilliant student, an artist, a writer, the admiration of the colony in which she lived, the pride of a devoted mother and two brothers. Apparently her road to a prominent successful and useful life was open without ob stacle. She had genius which she owed to her Cre ator through heredity. It is evident that she ego tistically assumed it to be her own. With all these advantages and the opportu nity wide open to become an admired and loved servant of humanity she -was confronted with the choice which faces every human soul in some hour of great solemnity’. Should she live for herself alone, to gratify her senses, her animal passions, to have her “fling” and enjoy it to the utmost, regardless of consequences to herself, her family, her honest admirers, the accepted proprieties of aociety, and religion? Or should she pursue the more or less humdrum life of so briety, self-restraint, honesty, decency and vir tue. reflecting a good example upon others, and accumulating a store of spiritual wealth for herself? ' . In short the question that came up to her, is the one that has come to millions before— should she serve God or Mammon? It was a matter of choice, simple but solemn— momentous. Fhe chose Mammon. She plunged into the tawdry pool of what is called “Bohemia,” because she wanted “to live her own life,” as she said. It was a “studio” life, a life of absolute free dom, of mixed companionship, with a sort of sneer at what society, calls ’’respectable.” She married an alleged “count,” whom her brothers afterward discovered to be a drug importer and peddler, a bootlegger and professional gambler. He inflicted the opinion habit upon her. Why she should have gone through the form of marry ing him is a mystery, for sip soon became in fatuated with another man, a married man, and witli him she proposed a compact which pro vided that she was to be his secretary, businew manager and companion—practically a white slave—while he was to In? at liberty to love and be loved by whom he pleased. Rhe cultivated her baser passions to the point of insanity. until finally she attempted to mur der the wife of her associate to get her out of the way. killed the woman’s protector instead, and while officers of the law were pounding nt the door of her “studio” to make her a prisoner slip swallowed a deadly poison and went out into the vast hereafter to plead before that bar* from which poison and physical death offers no es cape. For three brief years she “lived her own life.” That she had some realization of the vanity of her choice is evident, from a little package she left behind containing some money’, an insur ance policy and a bond which she had addressed to “niy dear, dear mother." Then ahe took the fatal dose. She had discovered, as countless oth ers had discovered, the old, old warning that the old-fashioned pastor was wont to emphasize —the wages of sin is death. • Learning the Facts Some spritely repartee is to be heard in some of the senate investigating committees. Ruch as this in the committee probing the purity of one Wheeler, a senator in congress. Mr. W. W. Rhea an oil man was being examined: “Well, what did you say to Coan about It?” asked Renator Caraway, Democrat, “I don’t re gard that ns any of your business,’’ Rhea said. “Well, I’ll have an answer,” returned Senator Caraway, “What did you ask him?” Witness could not recall. “Why didn’t you qay that in the first place?” asked Senator Caraway. “Because I you were trying to got me, to lie." “Is the asking of a mere question an invitation to you to lie?" “From such jieoplc as you it is,” the witness retorted. . ..... . Oc Casper fttinDap tribune A Republican’s Creed By MILO B. PRICE i I believe tn the Constitution of the United States; tn popular self ; government as provided for in the ■ fundamental laws of the United States and of the several states; that I amendments to th© federal Constitu ‘ tfon should be proposed only after I the maturest consideration and In I response to nation-wide demand; j that the constitutions of the states I should be revised and rc-written ns j changed economic, social or political i conditions make such revision neces sary or desirable. I believe in the. traditional - au l thorlty of the Supreme Court of the I United States and .of the other courts forming the. federal judiciary; that nny suggestion to modify or curtail the historic constitutional prvFOKutlves of the Supreme Court is fraught with the most pernicious possibilities. I believe In government by po litical parties; that ardent partisan ship need not l>e Inconsistent with warmest patriotism; that loyalty to party should never supersede devo tion to counry; that sectionalism which seeks economic or pollticrJ? advantage through the agency of the national government will bear careful scrutiny and is usually wrong; that class legislation by any dominant party at any time is hos tile to the general welfare of the country. I believe that Thomas Jef .Corson's dictum "Gnvernrnonts de rive their just powers from the con sent of the governed" is as true to day. and as wide In Its application, ns it was 150 years ago. I believe In the Republican party, dominant first under Abraham Lin coln and beneficently triumphant when led by Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, McKinley. Roose volt, Taft nnd Harding; that the Indiana’s Vice-Presidents By BLDEX SMALL. Virginia was during the earlier half of America's history called the "home of the presidents,” because it flimished so, many of the occupants of the White House. In later years Ohio has been a, rival for the title, having given the nation no fewer than six: William Henry Harrison. Hayes, Garfield, McKinley, Taft and Harding, besides James M. Cox, un successful Democratic nominee In 1908. In much the same way. Indiana has come to bo looked upon as a breeding place for vice presidents nnd vice presidential candidates. The state lias furnished but one president, Benjamin Harrison, but it gave a notable group of men to The Right Type N. Y. Herald-Tribune In indicating his preference for Mr. William M. Butler as chairman of the new Republican National Committee, President Coolidge goes back to the old idea of what a na tional committee chairman should be and what he should do. Naming this official is one of the Presidential nominee's prerogatives. He is select ed to manage the national 'Cam paign. He does not have to be a member of the national committee which elects him. The appointment Is a personal one—a question which was definitely settled in 1892. when the national committee, on organiz ing, wanted to retain J. S. Clarkson ns chairman, but yielded to Presi dent Harrison's Intimation that he would rather have somebody else fill the post., Mr. Butler has all th® qualifica tions for a successful campaign manager. He managed the Coolidge nomination campaign, and no one can point to any defects in It. He is the type of organtacer needed nowa days to direct a national canvas. Such a task requires alertness, pa tience, decision nnd a faculty for hard work. It does not call for ora torical endowments, or a desire to talk constantly for the newspapers or Into the radio transmitter. The best campaign managers have not Keep Cool, Keep Coolidge Back in the old home town of Plymouth, Vermont, th® boys have organized a glee club to -carry their distinguished citizen, Calvin Cool idge.

She will be present nt the Republican state convention nt Lander next Monday and will address the womens meet ing which will occur sometime dur ing the afternoon. Rhe will also aid In getting n complete state organisa tion under way. In the 1922 campaign Mrs. Dodson was national director of organisa tion, remaining at national head quarters and not going out Into the field. In th® 1920 campaign she develop ed what was considered a remark able women's organization in hex ’ most glorious pages of American his tory since Washington's time are , those that narrate its achievements I during the 65 years of its existence ; that its great names constitute a gal , axy of statesmen that challenge com . parison with any other group of , party leaders since the foundation . of the government; that the coun- J try’s best hope for constructive, pro , gresslvo and equitable government ! today lies with that party that has . been in control of national policies three-quarters of the time since 1860. • ’ I believe in President Calvin .

He will recognize the limitations of his assignment, which ought to end practically with tho. election. We have seen in recent years the nn tional chairmanship perverted into a permanent office, functioning be tween elections. This is an undesir able development. The chairman is not Intended to be a party leader or oracle, operating concurrently with Presidents and leaders In congress. chairman Adams misinterpreted his duties and his official character when he remained in Washington, mingled in 'party politics. criticized Administration policies and seemed to give official sanction to propa ganda conducted in a newspaper owned largely by himself and the secretary of the national committee. Such interim activities are not help ful to the organization, nor desired by It. It is safe to say that Mr. But ler will accept the chairmanship with no thought of imitating his predecessor's unfortunate example. The now chairman will consider his task accomplished in contributing all that is in him to arousing nnd consolidating tho party and assuring Mr. Coolidge's election. A lot of politicians cannot do a thing but knock. But Calvin Coolidge is a man of action and not talk; So just "keep cool and keep Cool idge” in tho White House four years more. We have a chance to do It In this year of '‘twenty-four," He’s been tried, he’s never taranting, ho is giving of his best. "Keep cool and keep Coolidge” is our Country's mighty test. z.

Mrs. Dodson Is the widow of Frank W. Dodson, who while a can didate for district judge, died. In deference to this fact Mrs. Dodson was elected to one of the two of flees women could at that time hold in tho largest county of tho state. This was that of county recorder ks deeds. This was in 1903 long be fore women had the vote. Her ad ministration of tho office was so satisfactory that instead of remain ing in office four years, which was the customary time, she was elected and re-elected and remained in office for ten years tho longest tenure In office of any occupant before or since. z Mrs. Dodson has always been a suffragist. “If I had not been a suf fragist my experience in office would have made me see the need for wo men to possess the vote,” she said recently. After leaving the county recorder's office, she devoted her entire time for a number of years to help bring about suffrage for lowa women. At one time she was state campaign manager for th o Equal Suffrage As sociation, when there was a referen dum vote on equal suffrage, and nt all other times she was a member of the executive board of the suffrage association. Finally as legislative chairman of the suffrage association she helped to bring about presiden tial suffrage for women. This was in the legislature just preceding the ratification of tho national"amend ment. As soon as presidential suf frage was trrnnfed. by Invitation nf the national committeeman and the Republican state organization of lowa, she devoted a year's tim 0 to developing a Republican party or ganization among the women of the state.
