Lynn Haines Finds That He
Knows, Little and Thinks
IJttle.
"CalTin CooIi :g is too much poli
tician and too little state mar to be
at the head of the urates: Anglo
Saxon nation Hr i woefully lacking
in character and equipment "
This is what Lynn Haines, eilitor
of The Searchlight Magazine of
Washington, says at. ut him Haines
is one of the be.-', informed men and
most consulted mm :n the National
Capital one of the mm who keeps
himself so closely behind the scenes
that no one ever hear- of him unless
he is on "the m. w" .' Washington
affairs. Hames rontinues
With no prejudice, anil without
preconceived conclusions, reirren
tatives of The Searchlight devoted
Weeks, in Massachusetts and Wash
ington, to a patient, thorough inves
tigation of the the public life of
Coolidge. The result of that search
ing; into hi- methoit- and motives
take up all of this issue Their pre
sentation is a dut I ..we to my coun
try. a token of my h.gh regard for
the Presidency
So here you tret a portrayal
real Coolidge, not as Ihi
(lists have pictured him, but
own acts reveal the truth
Indecision is his outstanding char
acteristic. He says little because he thinks
little and knows little.
Misfortune--to others I. as never
stirred him to two fisted lighting,
and never will.
Misfortune to other - has been
largely the foundation of the Cool
idge career. Each of his greatest
advancements came directly from
the womb of tragedy:
A predecessor's defe.d gave him
his chance to become President of
the Massachusetts Senate, with the
inevitable, machine-controlled sequ
ence of Lieutenant Governor and
Governor.
Next came the Boston police
strike, which left easily avoidable
death and devastation in its wake
that gave him the Vice-Presidency.
Then Harding died, and he thus
became President.
The Boston calamity was his poli
tical chariot. The Harding hearse !
carried him into the White House.
These are harsh facts, you may
say. They are. But remember, al
ways, that the victims of tragedy
are more to be considered than its
accidental beneficiaries. The Ameri
can people today are most in need
of sympathy and succor. The wel
fare of the American nation is para
mount to any personal or political
objective.
As boy and man, no American
ever had a more reverential atti
tude toward the Presidency of the
United States than I. That respect
for this high office is stronger to
day than ever before.
It is a position far too vital and
sacred to be prostituted by politics,
or occupied by anyone unworthy
and unqualified.
The great calamity, in a Republic,
is for the voters not to have the
facts upon which to base their
judgement.

VOIR Dl'TY TO VOTE
The average man will spend many
times as much effort standing around
and "cussing" the administration in
power whether it be in the town,
county, state, or nation, as he will to
walk a few blocks or drive a few
miles to vote. It is human nature to
stand on the side lines while some
body is erforming a task.
In commenting on the lack of inter
est a number of people take in vot
ing the Greensboro Record truthfully
.-a s
"The old argument that one vote
doe.- not count is not to be considered
at all. What one man doe- is ex
ti'emely important, because his neigh-
bar is likaiy to s affaeted by
the same motives and ctcc by much
the sane impulses.
"In the coming election there is
nesJ of a heavy, intelligent vote, as
never before in the history of the
country The vry foundations upon
w tuch this republic was founded are
threatened, by the riing tide of cor
ruption and the greed of the scheming
politicians is challenging the manhood
of America to come out and vote for
honest) in government, efficiency in
government, Democracy in govern
ment. Never has there been a year like
the present that it l important to
vote. Millions of good people are
looking forward to November 4th as
the da on which the despoilers, those
who have debauched the country's re
sources, and laid waste ite reserves,
will be driven out of power. It is
necessary that all who are qualified to
vote and have the right to cast a bal
lot should vote this year.
"In the old days", says the Record,"
"the Roman prized his citizenship
above everything. It brought him
many favors and much honor. It was
a mark of distinction, a badge that
signified a great privilege.
"Ann rican citizenship carries with
it even greater attributes. We can
not appreciate them, because we sel
dom have occasion to call upon it in
need. Once leave the boundaries of
this country and the prestige and

HAVE LABOR'S ENTIRE SITPORT
There are two members of con-gre.-s
from North Carolina who
should have the enthusiastic and
unqualified support of all wage-earner-
in their campaigns for re
election. In fact, the American Fed
eration of Labor has given its en
dorsement to eight .members from
this state, an account of which will
be found m another column of this
paper. But there are two of them
who stand out pre-eminently as
champions of the masses.
One is Hon. W. C. Hammer, rep
resenting the Seventh district. Mr.
Hammer's record not only in con
gress, hut before he went to con
gress, is A 1 on all matters of public
interest embracing questions affect
ing the masses.
The other is that old friend of long
standing, Zehulon Weaver, of the
Tenth district. Congressman Weaver
has as near one hundred per cent
record in Washington as any other
man from any other state. Then in
the North Carolina legislature, long
before Mr. Weaver was first elected 1
to congress in 1916, he always cham
pioned the cause of the masses, many
time " kin positions that threatened
hi political life. It ought to be con
sidered n pleasure by all wage-earn-
era to vote for such men as. Hammer!
and Weave?.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND THE FLO
To break up a cold over night or to cut
short an attack of grippe, influenza or sore
throat, physicians and druggists are now
recommending Calotabs, t h e nausealcss
ualmncl tablet, that is purified from dan
gTous and sickening ef fects. 1 hose v, ho
have tried it say thai it acts like magic, by
far more effective and certain than the old
style calomel, ht-i t lufore recommended by
physicians.
One or two Calotabs at bed time with
a swallow of watT, that's all. No salts,
no nausea nor the slightest interference
with eating, work or pleasures. Net morn
ing your cold has vanished and your sys
tem feels refreshed and purif'ed. Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed packages,
price ten cents for the vest-pocket size;
thirty-five cents for the large family pack
age. Recommended and guaranteed by
druggists. Your money back if you are not
delighted - ady.

BLOOD POISON
must be feared. It is deadly.
Medicine cannot help. It is a battle
of blood against germs of destruc
tion. Many times the blood loses.
The result is fatal.
Play safe. Prevent infection.
Treat an cuts, scratches, bruises,
burns, insect bit' s and flesh wounds
with LICARBO. This powerful
antiseptic and germicide hills the
germs at once and heals the af
fected spot. It is better than iodine,
is non-caustic, colorless and power
ful. Don't gamble with your life. Use
LICARBO at once and fear blood
poison no longer. Get a bottle of
LICARBO now from your druggist
and keep it handy.

Paying Our Share
North Carolina is spending large sums for schools,
highways and other public improvements.
When taxes are fairly levied, and the public moneys
are wisely expended for things that raise the general
standards of living, good citizens must cheerfully
shoulder their share of the burden of taxes.
Southern Railway Company takes pride in being a
good citizen of North Carolina and giving a full mea
sure of citizenship. Its properties along 1,200 miles of
lines in 47 counties of the State are now assessed for
taxation at $94,000,000, compared with $44,000,000
ten years ago, and 134,000,000 twenty years ago.
In the State of North Carolina our tax payments last
year amounted to $1,600,000, an average of $4,400
