Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS When happy thoughts come into your mind, let the thought of God come with them; and when you go into beautiful or attractive scenes, let the reconciled Presence go with you; till at last earth is suffused with Heaven, and with the immortal morning spread upon the mountains, death is done away, and the dark valley superseded.—Anonymous. LEADERSHIP IN GRASP OF MR. COOLIDGE The road to nomination for the Presidency is becoming clearer daily for Mr. Coolidge. Successive victories in the Presidential primaries in Michigan, Illinois and Nebraska, added to the delegations already pledged to Mr. Coolidge, seem to insure his nomination on the first ballot at Cleveland, as his friends and campaign managers confidently assert. That President Coolidge has won the complete confidence of the country is indicated on every hand. The people believe in his integrity. They feel confident that he is guided by his conscience and by his solemn sense of duty in the performance of his official functions. They believe that he has courage and that he would fulfill his obligations to the Nation fearlessly. Confidence in Mr. Coolidge, developed in so short a time since tragedy called him to the Presideney, is a phenomenon in the political life of the Nation. Mr. Coolidge has been clean and dignified in the midst of the campaign that has been and is being waged for his nomination. He has remained at his post of duty. He has said but little, and that in the line of duty. He has not indulged in petty politicianly maneuvering. Should he be nominated at Cleveland—as seems to be assured—he would be the same dignified personage through the campaign for election. SELF-MADE MAN HEADS BIG CONFIDENCE in Mr. Coolidge, developed in so short a time since tragedy called him to the Presidency, is a phenomenon in the political life of the Nation. Mr. Coolidge has been clean and dignified in the midst of the campaign that has been and is being waged for his nomination. He has remained at his post of duty. He has said but little, and that in the line of duty. He has not indulged in petty politicianly maneuvering. Should he be nominated at Cleveland—as seems to be assured—he would be the same dignified personage through the campaign for election. SELF-MADE MAN HEADS BIG RAILROAD Let it not be said that this country is becoming aristocratic and plutocratic, and that the poor, obscure man has no chance to rise. There are opportunities today for men of merit to advance, just as there have been in all generations since this Republic was founded. Contemplate another of the long list of self-made men in railroad service. Patrick E. Crowley, fifty years ago left his father's little farm to become a railroad messenger boy. He has just been elected president of the New York Central lines which for wealth and importance rank among the greatest railroad systems in America. He is to draw a salary of $100,000 a year. This is not an isolated example. There are many of them in railroading, in industrial affairs, in political life, in the professions. Everywhere in this land there is "room at the top" for men of character, ability, pluck and perseverance. The worst part of trouble is the worrying one does about it.

The moon cast its tender gleam down on the young and handsome couple who sat strangely far apart. He sighed. She sighed. Finally: "I wish I had money, dear," he said. "I'd travel." Impulsively, she slipped her hand into his; then, rising swiftly, she sped into the house. Aghast, he looked at his hand. In his palm lay a nickel. A woman visitor to the city entered a taxi cab. No sooner was the door closed than the car leaped forward violently, and afterward went racing wildly along the street, narrowly missing collision with inhumable things. The passenger, naturally enough, was frilled. She thrust her head through the open window of the door, and shouted at the chauffeur: "Please, be careful, sir! I'm nervous. This is the first time I ever rode in a taxi." The driver yelled in reply, without turning his head: "That's all right, ma'am. It's the first time I ever drove one!" A fond mother, to whom her youngest son was indeed a Joseph asked him one day why he associated with "those low people who live under the hill by the railroad tracks." He replied by introducing his mother to Mrs. Timothy Byrne, whose claim to fame rested in her parenthood of Timmy Jr., the leader of the "gang." "This mother, in Mrs. Byrne, an she's teachin' Timmy to be a policeman, an if he gets licked in a fight she likes him. POEMS THAT LIVE COMMONPLACE "A commonplace life," we say, and we sigh; But why should we sigh as we say? The commonplace sun in the commonplace sky, Makes up the commonplace day; The moon and the stars are commonplace things, And the flower that blooms, and the bird that sings; But dark were the world and sad our lot If the flowers failed and the sun shone not; And God, who studies each separate soul, Out of commonplace lives makes his beautiful whole. —Susan Coolidge WORTH Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honor lies! Fortune in man has some small difference made. One flaunts in rags, one flutters in brocade; The cobbler aproned and the parson gowned. The felar hooded, and the monarch crowned. "What differ more," you cry, "than fool and cowl?" I'll tell you, friend: a wise man and a fool. You'll find, if once the monarch acts the monk, Or, cobbler-like, the parson will be drunk. Worth makes the man and want of it the fellow; The rest is all but leather and prunella. —Alexander Pope. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT LITERARY NOTE Lean't read "modern writers."
