President Coolidge took a number
of reporters to tack a few days age
for sending out dull season reports
concerning his views that were not
in accordance with the facts. Much
unauthorized stuff has been publish
ed regarding the threatened coal
striKe, debt negotiatic/is, rum run
ners and other matters. He probably
suggested that reports of Secretary
Weeks’ resignation should not be
made oftener than once a week.
During the visit of the American
fleet to Australia, elaborate enter
tainment and unusual courtesies were
extended to officers and men. The
old adage, “Blood is thicker than wa
ter,” was paraphrased by signs in the
bars which read, “Beer is thicker than
water, Mr. Gob.” To the credit of the
sailors it was reported that no drunk
enness occurred.
In comments on Bryan's death many
prominent men referred to their re
spect to the Commoner’s sincerity
through differing from his views. Per
haps the most outspokenly antago
nistic utterance came from Eugene
V. Debs, who said: “The cause of
human progress contains no loss in
the death of Mr. Bryan. It is custo
mary to speak only good of the dead,
but I prefer to speak the truth re
garding men, living or dead.”
Vice-President Dawes showed much
versatility on his recent Wyoming
trip, when in addition to his vaca
tion job of lambasting Senate rules
he temporarily acted as director in
making a moving picture, reviewed
troops at Fort D. A. Russell, was ini
tiated into the Sioux Indian tribe,
smoked a huge pipe of peace instead
of his customary underslung and wras
christened “Great White Father No.
2.” To round out his program he en
f
tertained a jazz orchestra and later
played the piano for and with them
for an hour. He will probably dis
pense very little harmony in Wash
ington.
Governor Gunderson of South Da
' kota has again-opened 24 state gaso
line stations whereby he claims about
. three cents a gallon will be saved to
consumers. Whether there is any
* real saving can not be determined
| without knowledge of how much ex
I pense if any, is paid through state
, taxation for administration and equip

Despite the unsettled condition in
Europe, United States investors put
$237,GOO,000 into European securities
this year, while in the same period
$151,800,000 went to Latin America
and $131,910,000 to Canada. Rumors
of further foreign loans of importance
are heard in Wall Street and it ap
pears that the only hindrance to addi- j
tional investments abroad is the fact
that the Coolidge administration has
frowned on loans to countries owing
the United States large war debts.
If charity begins at home the gov
ernment’s settlement of the Belgian
war debt is a crime against the tax
payers of the nation, who are slowly
being strangled by increased taxes
and assessments. The money loaned
to the Allied nations was contributed
by the American people, at a great
sacrifice. It was expected it would
be paid back. The senator or con
gressman advocating any other way
of settlement is a traitor to his con
stituents, who paid part of the loan.

Intramural Sports Aid
Stanford Varsity Teams
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oalif,,
Aug. 25. (JP) —In Stanford University
intramural athletics, whose partici
pants never are seen by the public,
claim 90 per cent of the male stu
dents at some time during the year.
Recognizing that the varsity squads
in the various sports afford an oppor
tunity for the physical development
of but a small proportion of the
men, the university authorities have
arranged programs for every one.
C. W. Davis is director of intramu
ral sports. He enlists virtually all
the freshmen and sophmores and
most of the upper classmen in foot
bal, basketball, track, swimming, soc
cer, tennis, handball, golf, cross
country running, baseball or some
other sport. In two years he has
built up a background for intercolle
giate athletics which feeds the var
sity teams, is helpful to the boys
and gives them a keener apprecia
tion of sports. Last year there were
50 basketball teams, 47 baseball teams
and 35 track teams.
“The average man can play his fa
vorite game,” Davis explained. “Com
petition is keen enough to stimu
late real effort and we give them
enough coaching to develop their skill.
Varsity and intramural athletics sup
plement each other. Intramural over
