SUPPORT TIE SCHOOL
You would throw up your hands in
Holy horror, if anyone suggested that
you swipe a bench from a school build
ing or pilfer a single page from a book
of the school’s library.
But are your lealings in public
school afiai's as honest as \ou mink
thej arc- or ^ei.iaps would Vke to
have ot..ers> suppose them to be'.' j hey
are not—absolutely not—if you are
spending your money for mail order
merchandise. You can’t send a cent
of cash out of town for goods that can
be bought in town, and support to the
greatest possible extent the public
schools.
Every brick in the schools—every
book in the school’s libraries must be
purchased with school “taxes.” The
size ct the taxation depends on the
wealth of the community. And the
wealth is governed largely by the
earning capacity of the people who
live in the community.
Money sent away from home does
n't pay for one minute of home town
“labor. It doesn’t fill the dinner pail
of a single local worker.. It doesn’t
enrich home dealers. It doesn’t by one
word broaden the knowledge of the
children of this town—add to the at
tractiveness or comfort of school days.
Money spent with local merchants
travels in a circle. It doesn’t go out of
circulation when rung up on the deal
er's cash register—as do mail order
dollars when you slip them into the
mail box. The dealer spends it here.
It pays the help back of the counter,
who spend it in town for goods they
use. It assists them in purchasing
homes—that can be “taxed.” It goes
into more merchandise—and that mer
chandise is “taxed.” And it is on tax
ation, remember, that your public
school depends.
TWO DISCREDITED JOURNALISTS
(Railway and Marine News)
In the realm of newspaperdom ac
curacy is the first requisite of the suc
cessful reporter. To a sincere news
paper man, young or old, integrity and
accuracy are his chief assets and for
a reporter of the old school to make
an actual misstatement was consider
ed almost a crime.
What then of the misstatements
bordering upon malicious falsehood
coming out of Alaska over the signa
tures of James R. Nourse, represent
ing Universal Service, and Lawrence
Martin, representing United Press.
Both of these correspondents delib
erately stated that the old Alaska
Northern ex Alaska Central, started
by John Ballaine, and later held by
mortgage by English and Canadian
parties was built and owned by par
ties who built and own the Copper
River and Northwestern Railway. By
no hook or crook, perversion of facts
or inter locking directorates or most
remote connection, has there been
during the twenty years of life of the
Alaska Northern any thought of own
ership, connection or friendly relation
ship of any kind whatsoever between
these two railroad lines widely separ
ated. Ninety-nine out of a hundred
well informed men in Alaska could
have told these correspondents the
truth and it is almost unbelievable
that there is any responsible man in
Alaska who could have told them such
an untruth. These writers forever
stand discredited for putting out ot
one of the most perverted statements,
actual untruths and wholly malicious
reports during the eighteen years ot
Alaska’s suffering at the hands of the
muckraker.
COOIEQSE FAMILY
DIVIDED BY 1R
BETWEEN STATES
RELATIVE AT ATLANTA, TELLS
HOW PRINTER'S ERROR WAS
CAUSE OF CHANGE NAME
ATLANTA, August 22—An inter
esting story was unfolded here today
by Fred J. Cooledge, Jr., of Atlanta,
j and a cousin of President Calvin
: Coolidge. There are seven relatives of
; the chief executive j-esiding here.
How the error of a printer caused
I the change in spelling of the family
name, the separation of the brothers
| to seek their fortunes in different sec
I tions of the nation, the array ot broth
i er against brother in the war between
I the states and the “split in the family
over politics,” are some oi the lacts
related by Mr. Cooledge.
The great-grandfather of young Mr.
| Cooledge and the grandfather ot the
president were brothers. Norman F.
i Cooledge was the name of the great
grandfather of the Atlantan, and he
moved to Georgia in 1854, settling in
J the northern portion of the state.
There Fred J. Cooledge Sr. was born
and raised. The younger Mr. Coolidge
said his father voted the Harding
Coolidge ticket in the last election,
but that he and his two brothers, E.
M. and H. N. Cooledge, voted the
“straight democratic ticket.’’
Following the war between the
states, F. J. Cooledge, Sr. went into
the paint business. He placed an or
der for some stationery with the lo
cal printer, who, according to the
younger Mr. Cooledge, through an er
ror printed the name with an "e” in
stead of an “i”, which was not dis
covered until after the job was done.
Neither Mr. Cooledge nor the print
er was able to stand the financial loss
involved, so the head of the Cooledge
firm accepted the order and thereaf
ter spelled his name as the erroneous
spelling of the printer.
On at least two occasions prior to
his election to the vice-presidency, Mr.
Coolidge and his family have visited
the family of F. J. Cooledge, living in
this city.
