BE SURE YOU ARE RI<I,HT: — There is away which seemeth right unto a' U!an. but the end thereof are the ways of death :—Proverbs 14:12. THE) SPIRIT OF AMERICA. U*—r- {Various facts in connection with the death of President. Harding sfluHiJil, have a quieting influence -ou Senator Majigtis, Jphnsoln, of Minnesota,, who just before the President died, was preaching a doe trine of threatened revolution. The great homage paid by the American people to Mrs. Harding and her dead husband should show Senator Johnson and his followers the utter folly of their doc trine. How can there be a revolution against a government when there is such a spir it abroad as was shown in the United States when Mr. Harding, head of tbjs government, died? If there are people who are dissatisfied to such an extent that they are a menace to the govern ment in that they are powerful enough to start a revolution, as- Senator John son predicted, where have they been dur ing the past several days? The faet is, the great majority of the American peo ple are loyal, as shown by their spirit,of sacrifice and devotion (jemonstrated when they stood for hours in a broiling sun. a drenching shower or in the still ness of the night to catch a glimpse of the train which carried their dead I’res ident to AVasliington. They could do nothing physically to stifle the sorrow in the heart of Mrs. Harding, but they did everything humanly possible to lighten her burden by offering silent prayers and making physical sacrifice to demon strate to her their loyalty to her hus band. And they did no more for Mr. Hard ing than they would have done for any other President. He was popular with the people, owing to his strong personal ity and great love for the people, but homage was paid to him as the Presi dent of the United States. He was the principle figure in the government of the United States, He held the highest of fice any man can hold in the United States, the greatest of all nations, and people of every rank and file, of every political party and every creed, felt a personal loss in his death. In ttie solid South as well as the conservative east and the changing west, memorial services have been held by people who wanted to pay homage to their President. So long as such a spirit as this pre vails in the United States, we are in no danger of a revolution, regardless of the teachings of Senator Mangus Johnson and his kind. THE REAL. TROUBLE. William Allen AVhite, who has made a long study of conditions affecting the farmer of the west, several days ago wrote an editorial in which he declared the real grievance of the western farm er is transportation. And isn’t Mr. White correct ? In his editorial, part of which was copied by The New York ’Timet, Mir. White pointed out that when the west ern farmer buys steel, he pays for it on a Pittsburgh-plus basis. That is to say, he pays the Pittsburgh price plus the freight charges from the Pennsylvania steel center. And’in many instances the steel he purchases has never seen the Pennsylvania city at any stages of its manufacture. Yet. he must pay the “plus.” When the same farmer sell? his *heat, he must sell it on the Minneapolis-minus .basts. 'The price ( which be obtains is the prevailing price minus the freight nHM«;»#6M?#«* in shipping, his wheat to 'Miaffhapolis. i.' His 'case is vesy similar to the old game of “Meads-I-Win-tales-you-lose.” When he sells. h«f p4»s the freight cling - ea. When h* bays he pa** the freight 'chargee. *■ « la it uy womjer that the western farmef VHnK. ’’hew eoetet” , * ■ t - - '.'i BUSINESS AND THE OUTLOOK- Philadelphia Record. The death of President Harding and the accession to the Presidency of Tier President Oonlidge cannot be .said to have influenced the general business situa tion. Leading fininciers have expressed such entire cpnfideneein present condi tions that in I New York they disclahb any banking necessity of “coming W the support of the market.’’ notwith standing the continued liquidation which to some has seemed to portend developments of importance. The report of the Steel Corporation for the second quarter of the year, as interpreted by Chairman Gary, was favorable for the remainder of the year. The commercin' failures in July were fewer in numbei than any month since November. 1020 and in totals were less than any othei month, except June, for a period of twe and one-half years. Reports to tin Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia show increased wholesale and retail trade, with such depletion of stock -u will require renewals. There is no ex cess of labor supply, but there is n< such bidding for labor against end other on the part of industries as tr compel extensive wage advances ir many quarters. —. The Government cotton report, while not ns favorable as had been expected, indicates a substantial yield. Dun’s re view of* trade says: “The price of tin raw material advanced on this news am’ showed greater stability. than it had foi sevenl weeks. With steady prices and some indications as to the future ot cotton, purchasing in large volume ir many departments of trade dependent ou cotton is assured. The effect of.tin curtailment in employments largely ir cotton goods lines, in iron and allied industries, particularly in the former due almost entirely to the instability of cotton prices." The midsummer steel marker con tinues dull, without recession in prices It is predicted that this will conic probably slightly, as an inducement foi September buying. The tinplate mill* have been pressed by makers of packers' cans and heavy deliveries have been re quirt'd for the present canning season While there lias been an apparent scarcity of tinplate.. the production b so well sold up that prices or premiitn inducement would hot likely add to the offerings. It is likely in the circtin stances that tinplate production for tin current year will make a new .record bj a slight margin. Confidence is expressed by textib leaders that business in the primary and secondary markets this months wil’ show considerable improvement over July, and that* consumers of utifinish ed cotton goods will be in the markets for replenishment, as in all textile lines light stocks have been carried, the trade being committed for the time being t< hand-to-nioulh buying. Curtailment ir cotton goods production is reaching larger proportions, due to the unwilling ness of mills to take business at the prices now prevailing, which rney say compels operation at a loss. Tlie opening of the women's wear' woolens by the American Woolen Com pan.v last Tuesday was an inqmrtanf event for the trade. The small advances of next spring prices , over the fall quotations brought about good buying and increased stabilization. Mill buy itig of raw wool is reported to be negligible, with the result that, with the except ionof the finest wools, much low er prices prevail than a week ago. Wool importers are quoted as saying that they expected to see further depreciation of wool values. Predictions are made that a sharp decline in spring wheat and a slight drop in corn will come with the publica tion of the Government crop report next Wednesday. The week dosed lower, with September wheat 06%a06%. December 1.00% to 1.00% : corn, September 76%. December 63%. Cardinal Michael Ritter von Faul ber, arch-bisliop of Munich, rode from New York City to Boston in a day coach with his entire party, despite arrange ments having been made for a parlor car.

Returning to earth he could lay a double track of eight-ply cotton yarn from New York to San Francisco. Starting at the Golden Gate on a world tour, he could present a pair of hose, made from this Gaston county yarn, to every girl and woman in Japan, China, India, France, Italy, Greece, Germany, the Balkans. Poland and England. Re turning to New York he would still have enough of the cottou yarn to provide a gingham dress for the wife of every gov ernor. congressman and senator in the United States.

(THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE THE WORLD COURT ISSUE It Ia BeUeved Coolidge Favors United States Joining Tribunal and Even Leans Toward League. Special to New York World. Washington, Aug. s.—The world court issue, at first a cloud no larger than a man's hand, loomed into large proportions today in the early, hours of the Administration of President Calvin Coolidge. In the midst of the solemn preparations for the funeral of the late President Hardifig, and regardless of the day being Sunday, President Cool-, idge was forced to a realization of how important is this issue in party and world politics. Senator Frank B. Btamlegee. of Con necticut. most irreconcilable of all the die-hard group on the world court issue, was closeted with the President from 2:50 o'clock until 4 this afternoon, and his visit was followed by another pro longed conference between the President aud Secretary of State Hughes. Senator Brandegee refused to dis close the subject of his conversation with the new President, and naturally discus sion of polities is taboo. But is is m> se cret that consternation has overtaken the 'irreconcilable group, which has been in- I formed that the new President favors the I world court and loans dangerously in the I direction of the League of Nations. As a man of mystery. President Cool- | idge, the laconic and reserved, is the subject of investigation on the part of republican leaders and Senator Rrande gee's visit ik assumed to have been for the purpose of discovering where the i#w Presideut stands. Secretary of State Hughes, presnma bly-Tmtlior of the world court movement, has already been iixclose inuch with the President, and his additional visit ac companied by Mrs. Hughes late this af ternoon lias giveu cause for more than ordinary work to the Isolationists. No one realizes better than the leaders of the irreconcilable group of Senators that an early decision ou the part of the new President on the question of foreign policy is as essential ns il is inevitable. The relations of President Coolidge to Secret ary of State Hughes cuter into this decision, and the future of the party it self is involved in the conclusion reneh- Botli parties to the question which lias rent the Republican organization asun der entertain full realization of the em barrassment of President Coolidge’s po sition.

In 1822, in Ohio, the news suddenly flashed about the town of Delaware, that Rutherford Hayes, a facmer who had moved from Vermont, had died? leaving' a wife aud a child. Tiffs was in July. In October, another child was boro, and the mother mimed i,t for the dead father, “Rutherford.” To that., new-born sou she also gave her own family name of .“Birchard,” thus uniting in the living the names of the couple ftho had been part ed so suddenly. Nine years before that time she bad been a girl living in her home in the Vermont hills. In that same village there had lived Rutherford Hayes, the son of a farmer. For awhile the bride and groom lived in \lermontJ, hating all thought of separating from the' associa tions of childhood. Theu there came the call for adveuture and off they set. bag and baggage, to make their fortunes in "Hie west," that being what Ohio was then called. It was a long journey then: for there were no trains to carry j one quickly and comfortably. One had jto travel by wagon all the way—and | long enough il was. Sophia Birchard Iluyes had been a I Vermont girl, and she believed that it pays to gain an edueation. Her husband and she had been 'thrifty in their nine years of married life and had saved a’ small sum of money. She sent her son to a good sehool, and then to college. She impressed upon him all her New Eng land ideas, aad made him so conscien tious that he studied long and hard,, and won distinction in his college course as the leader of his class. She worried over him while lie fotight in the civil war and won his way to the of Major General; she saw him elected to Congress; she did not live to see him Governor, and then President, but she had given hint the edueation and the character that made him great.
