EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS All the doors that lead inward to the secret place of the Most High are doors outward—out of self, out of smallness, out of wrong.—George Macdonald. PROSPERITY IS GREATER IF, TAXES CUT Taking it as a whole, the country is prosperous. Only in certain lines of industry and business is activity halted. This halting would end, in the opinion of President Coolidge and members of his cabinet, if Congress would hasten a substantial reduction in federal taxes. Basic industries are active, particularly steel, which is a barometer of general industrial and business status. There is no tangible and inevitable threat of business and industrial depression. Quite the contrary. The country is headed toward continued prosperity. The only outstanding menace to this thriving is the possibility of mischievous action—or inaction—on the part of Congress. If a tax-reduction bill were passed, giving a measure of relief to all elements subject to taxation of incomes, the advantageous effect would be instant and substantial, it is believed. President Coolidge is using his influence to bring about hastened action, in the Senate, on the tax-reduction measure. It would be well if the people backed the President in this. The Senate should be made to feel that the people demand relief without further delay—that the people are informed and know that legislation could and should proceed, and should not be held in check while members of Congress maneuver for political advantage. It would be well if Congress were made to realize that the best political maneuver that could be made would be to enact promptly the tax-relief and other needed measures without dallying.

Blessings on the man or woman who takes the bludgconings of Fate without whimpering. President Coolidge has shown himself to be a judicious cabinet maker, so far as he has gone. Revise income taxes downward, and prosperity would soar upward. This is the conviction in official Washington. There should be a thorough housecleaning in Washington. But no innocent man should be ruined. It should not be made a cruel, ghoulish crusade of character-assailing.

A clean refrigerator smelleth not and a flyless dining room is a joy forever. The cough that lingers in the lap of grip is oft' the doctor's only tip.

DELANO The news in recent dispatches that Hungary was seeking Fredrick A. Delano, former member of vice-governor of the Federal reserve board, as controller of finances of that country, is an earlier indication of how Europe seeks to America for aid in solving problems. Delano, first appointed to the serve board by President Taft and renamed by President Wilson, recognized as an authority on national international finances. It is probably best known, however, for his work as receiver for U.S. supreme court in the Red River boundary case, a dispute between Oklahoma and Texas in which the federal government took the part of intervenor. Delano's parents were both names of Massachusetts but he was born in Hongkong, China. He is His parents brought him into Newburg, N. Y., when he was quite young, however, and he went most of his boyhood there. He was graduated from Harvard in 1885. From college he entered the broad business as a member of engineering papyrty working in Colorado. From that work he ended the shops of the same road, C. B. & O. railroad. He was general manager at Chicago when severed connections with that road in 1905. Later he served as president of various roads and a terminal company. He became, at one time, resulting engineer of the war department in relation to Philippine railroads. He was serving on the federal serve board when war came. He turned to enter active service. A POOR LOSER—(Berkeley Gazette) Why has Hiram Johnson, one-time political leader of California, fallen in the estimation of the people of his State, is the question one hears frequently these days. There are many reasons why the Senator has become a political back number, not the least of which is demonstrated in the explanation of the Johnson forces of the primary election returns in North Dakota. When the returns had reached proportions sufficient to conclusively indicate the defeat of Johnson, the typical Johnsonian statement that "Coolidge money" was poured into the state to boost La Follette's vote and beat the California Senator was issued from Johnson headquarters. The readiness with which Hiram Johnson calls names and makes accusations, to say nothing of the political company he has been keeping, is among the many things that have brought him into ill repute in the far West. Californians love a good fighter, but he must also be a game loser. The politician who wins and holds California must not only be a good fighter, a graceful loser, but he must not be a welcher. He must play the game and take the consequences without flying into great rages and abusing everyone that does not agree with him. That is one of the things in which Senator Johnson falls short of the West's estimation of a man, and to it he can attribute to a large measure, his rapidly waning popularity in the State that once honored him. And, unless the signs are all wrong, the whole nation seems to be getting very much the same giant on the senior senator from California. It is quite evident that the voters of North Dakota have not been materially impressed by Johnson's claims for the Presidency. Johnson has already indicated his uncertainty of results in his home State and his fears may easily be realized at the May primaries.

HURLEY Once more Edward N. Hurley, Chicago manufacturer, has been hired upon to fill a public position of responsibility. He has just named Democratic member of the Debt Funding Commission, being a vacancy. Hurley is probably best known the average American for his work as head of the U. S. shipping board. As chairman of the U. S. shipping board and president of the emergency Fleet Corporation in hiding ships and getting supplies to the allied forces in France, Mr. Hurley made a distinguished record. He has served as chairman and vice-chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, and in 1913 served as decommissioner to the Latin-American republics. He was born in Galesburg, Ill., July 31, 1864. His schooling was defined to the grammar grades of high school. He first tried broading, then became a traveler salesman. Eventually he became manager of the metal pack concern for which he had been working. He originated and developed the pneumatic tool industry, selling out his interests later to devote his time farming and stock raising at country home at Wheaton, Ill. He is a recognized leader in democratic circles in Illinois. WINNER STORIES This story of all the Coolidgearies is held to be the best.
