Civilization advances, Does $50 “top price” for a prize fight mean that something is wrong with the ticket holder’s head?

Coolidge “Chooses.” Now that flying from ship board to shore is prdven practical, there will be a lot of seasick passengers trying to mail themselves home—special de livery.

We hats to mention It—but .we are of the opinion the Prince of Wales is a tribe jealous of President Cool idge—judging from the different cos tumes he has already been photo graphed in since landing at Quebec. One day last week, Cautious Cal uasually remarked: “1 do not choose to run for President again,” and cotton prices slumped a cent a pound. For tunately for the Booth, ha is not vary loquacious. 9. By John H. Perry. President ibolidge’s announcement last week not only surprised, but actually astonished the entire nation. The newspapers generally and poli ticians particularly are still discuss ing the reasons for this announce ment. There are probably four main rea sons why President Coolidge made this announcement: First: CooUdge- had affixed his signature to an Anti-Third Term for President Roosevelt Second: Physicians who have at- tended Presidents of the U. S. con sider .that the presidency is a man killing job, and it is generally. be lieved that no man can humanly en dure three terms in succession. Presi dent Coolidge doubtless feels this himself. Third: President Coijlidge is a poor man. It is not unreasonable nor unlikely that he would desire to ac cumulate a sufficient amount of wealth to enable him to live in ease and comfort* in his later days.

It is commonly under stood that a billion dollar corporation would tender the presidency of this corporation to Mr. Coolidge. The sapry for rxf'h position would be i round one-half million dollars a year. Fourth: President Coolidge possib ly'considers that if he does not run this time that the third term objection would not apply except to three con secutive terms and. hence, after a lapse of four years, he might be avail able for reelection to the presidency. President Coolidge gave his mes sage to th« world in one sentence of twelve words. Doubtless he gave a great deal of thought to this phrase ology and the word “choose” wa* not slipped in accidentally. He undoubtedly will not b« a candidate. He doe* not “irhooec” to be a candidate. However, if his name is presented to the con vention. as it undoubtedly will •inless the president absolutely for bids such action, the convention will “choose" to nominate him, and. Presi dent Coolidge, in all probrbility, will accct the nomination.
