T-j USINKSS-L1KH is pt-rliji js tin- most Hociirutii turm to apply to
13 ri-csident Coojiilge's loiifj-awuited message.
Unlike most of ho messages of liis predecessors, tlicre is no tit
tenipf at fine writing, no rhetorical flourislies, no appeal whutcver
to tlie emotions. ,, ; ( , i . i .
President Coolidge makes the cornep-sfone of his uddrcss, a thor-nuKh-goinK
reduction of federal taxes and his more important recom
mendations regarding the farmers' problem, the railroads, the mer
chant marine, the foreign debts, even the Prohibition question, are
all related to this major proposal, and .might all be placed under the
genera) head of placii. g the affairs of the government upon a sound,
business-like basis. ... . ',
Like the report of tho head of a big business corporation to the
biiard of directors., the Pr'dcnl s message is crammed full ot meat
without either sauce or trimmings.
lie uses exactly nine words, for example, in disposing of the most
important issue from, a controversial and political standpoint:
"I do not favor the granting of a bonus." ' ...
. No apologies, no evasions, no rhetorical smoko screen. lie opposes
n bonus to able-bodied men, because he maintains such an expenditure
poor business at the present time He' favors the utmost generosity in
caring for the dsabled service men,, two billions have been spent
He favors spending millions more, but for a bonus nothing. ' '
So on all along the line. Next to if a biiHincm-liko tone, the most
striking characteristic of the message Is its outspoken frankness. On
not a single, issue is the president nebulous.- IIu pleads fop nothing,
he straddles nothing. He merely states his case, states it clearly and
goes on.
, President Coolidge favors the world court, but he opposes the
league. He opposes the cancellation of foreign debts, but he favors
easy tcrnis for payment. Ifo opposes recognition of Jyiissia until Rus
sia recognizes the rights of private property. He favors rigid en
forcement of the prohibition laws, but ho demands civil service in the
selection of dry enforcement officers, so that dry graft may at least
be effectively combattedi
There is no doubt the messirfeu will make a favorable impression
upon the country at large. For while a few will miss the dramatic
appeal, the majority will welcome the plain, unvarnished simplicity,
the direct un pretensions meeting of issues, tho freedom from cant
and the .common sense appeal for retrenchment, economy, and the
abandonment of new-fangled notions all along the line.
: ' Incideiitly the message probably marks the formal christening of
t,ho Republican forces as tho Conservative Party.

Our guess is that the more Mr. Ford learns about, political rings,
the closer ho will stick to piston rings."

take iim to save itself from something worse.

Kill or Cure
Mi
According to a recent story the big
r-hk'f of one of our industrial corpora
UoiiK has n, cpntruct with his phyni
ciun, by tho terms of which he pays
Ihev phyaiciari ,un annually incrcoslnfr
r retainer for Ji.eepinK
him well and makes
deductions from' tho
doctor's annual re
tainer for any time
lost hy Illness. This
Is important if true;
it naturally brings
lip UKuin two asso
ciated ideas.' ; The
first is tho Idea that
they do this very
thing habitually in
China, pay tho doc
tor a retrular ntin'cnd
as long as he keeps 'em well, but dock
tho doctor when they fall ill.
This idea, like a good many other
occidental ideas about oriental life, is
not truo. I know becauso I've asked
several laundrymen about it and they
all laughed. No doubt they'd like to
ham? somo such arrangement on the
doctors In China, hut It Isn't done.
The second idea suggested by the
trust magnate's alleged oriental con
tract with his doctor is that no such
nrranKement can ever become popu
lar in America, because it would be
not only Inequitablo but unethical. It
would bo unethical for tho same rea
son that it is unethical and dlsrepu
tablo for a doctor to ''guarantee" to
cur anything,. An honest doctor sim
ply cannot guarantee to euro any
thing becauso the ways of. Providence
are not under his -control. "
And by tho same token a doctor
who is worth consulting at all certain
ly would nbfeacccpt any such terms as
the yarn tells us this big manufac
turer has hung on his doctor taxing
the doctor for any illness which be
falls tho client. Is tho doctor, then,
willing to acknowledge that ho is to
blame for any Illness which does be
fall? It would bo not only unethical
but Just plain unwiso for a doctor to
enter such a deal. Kemember the
story of the shrewd Irishman who
persuaded a doctor to attend his wife
for a lump sum "kill or citre?" When
the Woman died tho than failed to pay
tho sum agreed upon. When tho doc
tor trued, the man placed tho doctor
on the witness stand and asked wheth
er he was proparod to swear ho cured
tho good woman. Of course not.
Woll, then. wus tho doctor prepared
to swear ho hnd killed tho woman?'
The yurn about tho big industrialist
Is not a total loss, however. It has
no doubt served a"t useful purpose.
This particular story probably planted
in many minds the thought of having
some' sort of. keep well supervision,
sonio kind of periodic overhauling by
an expert, something akin to health
assurance, if there is such a thing to
be 'had. Had ' tho yarn been woven
without tho oriental touch it Would
have' been a'dend one.' ' It was the
notion' bf punishing tho doctor1 for the
sins of the client that sold th yarn.
And I'm going to; hang 'a series of
talks like the! tail to a kite' on the
question of purchasing individual
health assurance while tho thing Is in
the air. , ' ,' ' 1 ' l! " s'1
QrFSTIONS AND ANSWERS ,
All Hound Hound Willi Silk nnd Wool
My son aged 10 months is still cot-ting-teeth
and I am writing to ask
whether he should wear a silk and'
wool band and a silk and wool shirt.
Some say a wool or flannel hand, oth
ers cotton, others advise a cotton and
wool mixture (one-fourth wool) for
tho shirt. (II. U.)
Answer. A baby ordlnnrlly needs
no hand after tho second or "third
week. ' Silk and wool, or cotton or'
wool, for' undershirt is fine for 'the
winter timo. Of course he -Is still
cutting teeth ; if he Is a norninl young
ster he will keep rlght'on cutting them
for about nineteen years. But1 what
has that to do with the baby's shirt, I
wonder? . , . ,
Circumstantial Kvidcnce
My husband has what you call a
floating cartridge in his knee'. Ho
had an X-ray taken aifd it showed a
piece of tho cartridge between tho
Joints. He has had water on tho knee
a couple of times, lio you think it is
snfo to operato on the knee to take
the pieces out? Would it leave a stiff
kne.e? (Mrs. P. K.)
1 Answer. There is no other perma
nent rettef hut operation. Nowadays
it Is safe to open tho knee Joint. . The
loose cartridge is removed or properly
anchored, and there need he no fear
of a stiff knee. .

PROBATION.
T1IH WOliK that slew the farmer's fowls was captured in a
trap; at midnight hour -its frenzied howls disturbed that
granger chap. lie left liis warm and downy bed, to trap tho re
paired, and to the snarling wolf he said, "At last I have you
snared. You've freipientod my coops and pens and thus disturb
ed the peace; you've slain my large Tolled Angus hens, and eaten
priceless geese. Voit arc deserving'of tho' worst, that man made
laws can do; and, looking out for safety first, I'd. promptly
butcher you. Itnt I 'in inclined to mercy now, since you are in a
bole; another chance I wil allow I place you on parole. I trust
your honor to avoid toy well known henhouse door; in works of
virtue be employed now go and sin no more." The humbleM wolf
was moved to ten in, at least it seemed to-be; it frisked its tail and
wagged its ear, so happy to be f'.ee. While gorged with chickens
it was bent on courses most sublime, but soon it hungered, then it
went to pull another crime. And so at dawn the farmer found bis
chickens cold and tlead, his priceless roosters lying round, the
coop all splattered red. "Oh, when I had that' critter jailed, it
should lot "have been freed; the honor 6T a wolf," lie wailed!' " is
bnt a broken reed." .... -
