Chicago Fifth Avenue Bldg., New York City N. Y. Life Building, Kansas City, Mo. The Goshen News-Times, a leading republican paper of the north part of the state rises to ask it the fact that President Coolidge first -equested Harry New to remain on the job as postmaster general was due to the gtrenous campaign Mr. New made for Mr. Beveridge last autumn. Oh well its' impossible to please everybody. Within one hour last night we saw three different automobiles drive up along the walks of one street and the men evidently perched therein for the purpose, call out to young girls walking along the sidewalk, asking them to take a ride and when refused, become real saucy and ugly. No girl who cares about her future or thinks about herself will accept such an invitation from men whom she doesn't know and no man who expects a young lady to care for him will thus insult her. President Coolidge starts off today on his twenty months of the presidency. He is of course now being mentioned very frequently for the presidency. Its strange how things do change. A fortnight age he was not even considered and most of the leaders rather sneered about him. Now he sits in a powerful position and they are making every effort to secure his favor. His first action of importance will probably be on the anthracite coal strike question and the fireworks will begin with his decision then, whatever it is. He has a difficult path of duty and should have all the support that can be given-

Reading the papers the past day or two, many will be inclined to believe the contest for the republican nomination for the presidency is all over and that it will go to Mr. Coolidge by default. Don’t make up your mind too soon on that score. Only one vice-president who assumed the presidency ever secured the nomination and there have been six of them. That one was Roosevelt who had a real organization and was planning to be a candidate for the office any way. Remember that a half dozen men of political strength have been planning for months and years to lead their party and they will not be side tracked easily. If Mr. Coolidge j is big enough and has a lot of luck he may put it over but buying the field against him just now would be a good bet. The motor cycle officer has been off for a week and the speed nuts seem to know it for last evening they were seeing how fast they could ( go, how loud a noise the mufflers could make, paying little attention to crossings or anything else. It’s a foolish practice and ought to be broken up. The speed cop will probably be back in a tew days with instructions not to just talk nice but to take action by filing affidavits and that’s just what ou£ht to be done. When you don’t obey the laws because you want to it’s time to show you that the laws mean something. We have reports today of racing and speeding on Mercer avenue. Winchester street. West Monroe street and Fifth, No doubt there was a similar perform i ante on practically every street. The I board of safety should bring the cop

back right away and give him some new ami emphatic Instructions. Let'* stop It before tho accident occur*. The Democratic party has a good chance of winning in the next pra*iddnti&l election If ft takes its stand squarely on traditional Democratic principles and avoids all "entangling alliances." This declaration is based upon the present political conditions ami is ably set forth in an editorial In the Indianapolis News referring to a dispatch from Washington the burden of which is that there is no disposition on the part of the Democrats to combine with the La Follette forces in order to embarrass the Republicans. The News is right In it* conclusion that this would be "bad business,"- especially as, in this instance, it would be a sacrifice of party principles. If there is anything that the Democratic party has stood for in the past it is a minimum of governmental interference with local affairs, local self-government, strict construction of the constitution, and t the sovereignty of the states.- These are the very things that the mass of legislation proposed by the LaFollettes and Johnsons, the Borah£ and the Brookharts is directed against. Out of the welter of things that obscure the political prospect at the present time there is going to emerge sooner or later a demand for parties which draw the line and build their platforms on clearly defined statements of policy founded upon permanent principles. It is a good time now for the Democratic party to show that it is not to be stampeded into seeking a temporary advantage through abandonment of its time
