COOLIDGE’'S ANNOUNCEMENT The heavy thinkers of the metro- politan press are now engaged in an attempt to interpret the statement of President Coolidge: “I do not choose to be a candidate for President in 1928.” It does not require much “in- terpretation.” The President considers the presidential nomination. As be- tween being and not being a candidate he makes a choice. That choice is against being a candidate. With the nomination in his grasp, it is not probable that President Cool- idge, were he insincere in his deter- mination as has been intimated, would have opened the Pandora’s box of numerous rival candidates. It is pos- sible, of course, that as the result of many such candidates, the next Re- publican national convention may fall into such a deadlock that the call of duty may be sounded to President Coolidge—but that contingency seems so remote that it is very doubtful if it entered into the President’s cal- culations. The announcement ofthe President at least ensures a lively political sea- WHY NOT DO IT ALL AT ONCE? Plans are being made by the state and borough for the improving of the streets in Patton Borough that are located on the state highway route beginning at the Depot up Magee avenue to the Palmer House, thence up Fifth avenue to the Public school building, and thence up Beech ave- | nue, to the intersection of the im- proved street that leads to the Has- tings road. These three sections of street form the very worst that Paton has had to contend with for the past several vears, and their permanent improve- ment will be gratefully accented by everone. All of them paved, the traf- fic of several years has been more than they could endure. They were built before the day of the automo- bile and the heavy truck, but they have served their purpose well. Rumors, and still more rumors are to the effect that the streets will be built this fall. Property owners along the route are even now repair- ing water lines that cross the street and replaceing them with leaden pipe. The streets will be torn up for a time of course, and with this tear- up, wouldn’t this be the very time for Patton to get rid of about 101 tele- phone poles, some of them in bad condition, especially the old trolley poles, along the streets, and at the same time install the boulvard sys- tem of Street lighting. Barneboro is doing this now, and it entails no little bit of labor in tearing up the street to do it. When the new road construc- tion would be the acceptable time for Patton to make such a move. After the road is finished would be a poor time, indeed. Why not make plans for boulevard street lighting now? BBB BS od lot On Life's Pathway.

Joo < AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY A Georgia negro, who had been a slave in his youth died at Atlanta re- cently leaving an estate of a million dollars, and what is still better, the esteem of all who known him re- gardless of race. He started as a barber in his early twenties and his industry and court- eous manners won him the respect of TINGE his white customers who steadily grew FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER in number. When he died he had many outside interests but retained his or- iginal shop which had grown from a oneman affair to one requiring the services of forty-two men. And this 8 8 colored capitalist had more than sev- en hundred negroes working for him . in one capacity or another at the time of his death. There ought to be a lesson for all of us in this man’s career. He did not have the priceless heritage of American liberty at the time of his birth. But by using industry amd sound judgment coupled with court- esy and attendance to business he was able to make a succes of his life under what to most of us would appear to be insurmountable difficulties. The life of this negro is only an- other evidence of what can be done in America. Even the humblest child may later in life win some sort of success by proper attention to busi- nes. The qualities most required are honesty, industry, a reasonble amount of intelligence, and by staying on the job. Opportunties are greater in Amer- ica now than ever before. The country is expanding and developing in a way that was undreamed of a few years ago. All of this expansion and pro- gress means new opportunties for American youth. tisha eid .
