WATSON-GODL4BGE BREACH REPORTED 0 BE CONPLETE

Administration Supporters Think President Will Not Aid ' Senators

Fresh evidences of the breach between President Coolidge and the Indiana senators, Watson and Robinson, and the increasingly bitter feud between the two groups have just come to light. : In consequence of this feud, it is the understanding in administration circles at Washington that the Coolidge people have no intention of helping Watson and Robinson in any substantial way in their more and more doubtful battle to return to the senate from the ‘Hoosier state. An evidence of the anti-Watson feeling in the administration is the announcement that Everett Sanders, of Terre Haute, formerly representative in congress and now secretary to the president, has no intention of returning to Indiana to speak for the Watsop Robinson ticket. Reports in the Indianapolis News,l chief sponsor of Watson and Robinson, that Mr. Sanders “is not certain that it will be possible for him to speak in the Indiana campaign, much as he would like to do it,” led the knowing to shake their heads wisely. They know where Mr. Sanders’ heart lies in this campaign. v | -Further, the Coolidge administration, it is learned on what is considered to be exceptionally good authority, feels convinced that Watson is bent on fix- i ing up the next Indiana delegation to the Republican national convention on & strictly anti—Coolidée basis. The view of the Coolidge administration and its friends and supporters is further that while Watson may for the time being be playing with interests that hope to make Vice President Charles G. Dawes the presidential nominee in 1928, Watsen is playing his own game all the while and nourishing his own presi’dential boomlet. . Watson'’s recent visit to address Illinois farmers at their meeting at Mount Vernon is taken here as direct evidence in support of this view. While Watson at Mount Vernon specifically declared that he is not acandidate for the presidential nomination, this statement caused a laugh at Washington. -“Why did Watson journey into Illinois if he is not a candidate?” is the question there. And the answer invariably has been that his declaration disavowing any candidacy was merely an empty gesture, if it was not put forth hopefully in a wistful attempt to start some sort of “popular demand” fer his candidacy. : In this connection, interesting com. plications in Indiana politics, complications which promise extremely interesting reactions on the politics of the nation as a whole, gre looked for in 1928 from Watson’s lining up with the vice president. It is recalled that former Senmator Albert J. Beveridge in & speech in Massachusetts a month or so ago and also in. interviews given to Indianapolis newspapers early in September declared that he is for President Coolidge for the nomination in 1928. _ Postmaster General Harry S. New, the other great leader of ‘Hoosier Republicanism, may be expected, as a member of the president’s cabinet through both his terms in the presidenacy, to go down the line with all his power for the president.in the nomination fight.- 4 Reports of Mr. Watson’s efforts in his first speeches of this fall’'s campaign to “snuggle up” to Mr. Coolidge have caused considerable merriment among those well informed as to the actual facts of his relations with the president. ‘ Recollection of Mr. Watson’s desertion of Mr. Coolidge on his two most cherished policiles and of his subse quent denunciation of him at the Indiana Republican convention a couple of months ago adds zest to Mr. Watson’s statement, reported in one of his speeches, to the effect that: “I pin my faith ,n Calvin Coolidge.” Thig, it is felt here, brings out dramatically Mr. Watson’s own oftenproved political weakness, a. weakness which has been sheltered from defeat in all his campaigns only by the strength of men like Mr, Coolidge at the head of the Republican ticket. It is also taken as conclusive evidence of the desperate battle Mr. Wat‘Bon has on his hands this fall. Reports reaching Washington have for some time had it that Mr. Watson is fighting with his back to the wall and faces what looks like almost certain defeat in his efforts to return to the senate. His frantic efforts now, after snubbing and reviling the president only last spring, to hide in his shadow, are looked on there as certain indications of trouble ahead for him. L . Mr: Coolidge’s friends have not overlooked the fact that Watson had to kick reporters out of a meeting of his at Indianapolis just the other day in an attempt to keep the public from learning the violent denunciation of the president indulged in there. = The statement put out by the Watson publicity afigg» to the effect that Secretary of Labor James J. Davis “would bet” that the president would support Watson and Robinson was the occasion of much merriment . among the Watson-Coolidge feud. It is known ot Wadhingion, thst Wataon bimeci would not “bet” onmmimm and would give anything in his Gesperate political need if’only he could. .

OLD CUSTOM STILL SURVIVES

‘Austrian Peasants Rm:s the Subsen | wviency That Was E Dur ; ing Days of Feudalism.

¢ While I was the guest of Prince A; at his Austrian castle, writes a cgn, jtributor to Chambers’ Journal, Prins ‘cess Karl took me under her special - guidance. lnflat@d that I should make acqu%gmpb} m the village the morning afl&rmy grrival. “You had be put on gloves, or ‘at any rate the fibgmd glove,” she ‘sald, as T met he the great ens trance. o “I never wear gloves if I can help it,” I answered. “And on a hot dagi like thisi" ) " She laughed “Well, I have warn you.'- FOR experlenceej We descended the m slope to thq village, and stopped at the post office; it was llkewise a cafe and a gene provislg:tom. Soveral peasants s .at a tab M g beer, and two o three women mmg with the postmistress. When we entered, ttj. postmistress ran from behind her counter, the peasants rose from thein bench, and orowding round the Prin, cess Karl, they all kissed her right hand. To my intense surprise, aften they had kissed the princess’ hand, they each- bestowed a similar attens tion on me.. “lI warned you to wear a glove,” sald the princess, when the.ceremony was over. “Now you know the reason, You will find that whenever you meet peasants, they will kiss your hand, ‘They even leave their work in thq flelds, and run out into the rggd if they see you passing. Last year a young attache from the French ems bassy was staying here, and he had q great fright. He was walking along 3 road between some bean fields. Thq peasants were taking in the harvest; and to his horror he saw them all, men and women, suddenly throw down their scythes and rakes and rush tos ward him from both sides. He was convinced that they were going to at; ta&k and rob him; and so he took to hig heels and x&n He never stopped until he got to the Schloss; to this day he will not believe that the poor peass ants only wished to kiss his hand as a mark of respect to an excellenz. Af my home in Hungary the peasants kneel down and kiss the hem of your dress.” \ : In these days ' such subserviencd seems incredible; but the custom is g survival of the days when all the peas: ants were slaves, and the nobles had the power of life and death over them.

WOULD AID COTTON GROWERS

Flour-Milling Firm Urges Its Customs . ers to Accept Deliveries of Prod- - uct In Cotton Sacks.

In order to increase the demand for cotton, one of the largest flour-milling firms in America hasg directed its managers and salesmen all over thq country to urge its customers to ac cept deliverfes of flour that are shipped in cotton instead of Jjute sacks. Hitherto jute imported from India has been used extensively for shipments of flour, both to home ang foreign markets. The sacks employed hold 140 pounds each. If the trade can be induced to accept shipments in cotton sacks holding 98 pounds each, there will be a marked increase in the demand for home-grown cot: ton, and the action of the flour-mill ing firm is regarded as a long step hf this direction. Anything that will improve the financial condition of the cotton growers, it is pointed out, will inerease the volume of their cash purchases and thus benefit general business conditions. For this reason it 1s believed that the trade will not insist on the jute sacks used hitherto.

One Result of War of 1812,

One hundred years ago the War-of 1812 had virtually closed so far as the operations in the North were con. cerned. Henceforth the activities of the" opposing forces were to be confined to the South. The hope of ob: taining the Floridas had encouraged the Southern states to enter into the war. The president had expected ¢on: gress to approve the seizure of Span: ish Florida. 'Andrew Jackson, as the most prominent military man in the South, was appointed major general of militlta. Congress was at first re luctant to act in the matter of Florida, which helonged to Spain, a friendly power. But at last a bill was signed authorizing the seizing of Western Florida and the occupation of Mobile, Pensacola and other points. Shortly afterward Pensacola was captured. This was the only gain of territory made. during the war.

Important Inheritance Decision.

A suit involving the right of a hus band to the life use of real estate left by his wife was heard by the appellate division of the supreme couri in Yung vs. Blake, in which it ap peared that Anna Louise Yung, wha died in 1906, left certain real estate Her will made no provision for hei husband nor for an infant daughte: by her marriage to him, who was born after the will was executed. The court held that under the laws of New York the child was entitled to the same share of the estate it would uhn.&e received if the mother had died in , and that by reason of this fact the father had the life use of the property inherited by the child.
