cooIidge-Logical Candidate.

It's a vote-getter that Republicans
need, and, frankly considered, the is.
sues on which Coolidge won in the Bay
state were not at all local issues. HC
stood for order against proletarian ruth
lessness. He stood for property and life
protection against phase of labor un'
ionism that mas appeared in many cit
les and in many states. If the Republi'
can party is prepared TO make the cam
paign on platform demanding the
curbing Of the labor trust, he Is logi'
cal candidate, if not the logical can
didate.
We think Governor Coolidge was jus
tilted in refusing to consider nomina
tion for vice president. He has a right
to aspire TO first place. So has General
Wood, General Pershing, Governor
Lowden, or any other prominent and
sincere Republican. The vice-presidency
II won, is commonly a burial place fol
ambition. But there is another and
better reason for Coolidge's feeling. II
the party were to name him for second
place il would be subordinsting the is
sue fors which he stands to other issues
and ditingenuously seeking to use hi
name to catch votes. That is a game t.
which self-respectlng man does not
willingly lend himself. That Calvin
Coolidge is a self-respecting man is tn,
common belief in Massachusetts, and
elsewhere Brooklyn Eagle.

Trolley Receiverships.

We learn from the Electric Railway
Journal" that during the last year more
trolley companies were forced into the
hands of receivers than ever before
Forty eight companies, tenth OF the
whole number in the country, went into
receiverships, although only 2s of these
were sold at foreclosure. OF the Is
several had suspended operation and
abandoned their franchises. Not only
do the receiverships include roads in
sparsely peopled regions, but lines in
New York, Brooklyn, st. Louis. New
Orleans and Providence. The main
cause is said to be the increasing cost
OF service. The most general comment
is. that these conditions, while largely
the result of accumulated burdens OF
regulation, contained in their franchises
or of organization weaknesses, can in
nearly all cases be attributed to the
present very unsatisfactory and de.
creased net earning power of the in
dustry." With the approval of the
state commissions also there were sew
eral great companies which suspended
service over some of their non-profitable
routes without removing the tracks;
this would mean that the corresponding
investments would be written off the
books. The track controlled by the As
companies counted up to nearly 4,00G
miles, their stock to 1921 100000, and
their bonds TO almost $4,000, 000.-

she said.
Women do not scoff at ideals; they
believe in putting ideals into action.
"The Democratic party calls to-day,

will never forget that intoxicating

warships.

The Democratic party has stood the
test. It's ideals are not that property

rights are paramount. 1t has served
ali classes. The progressive legislation
which the women of America desire
will find an avenue OF expression

campaign, it is crusade on behalf OF

SILVER FOX FARM.
Imported Pedigreed Stock are Kept on
a Ranch in the Adirondacks.

Twelve miles east of Lowville, n. Y,
on the independence river, Is located
one of the most interesting enterprises
of this section OF the Adirondack.
There DR.. G.. V. Webster of Carthage
has procured ranch of about AIS acres
upon which the summer camp of the
doctor is located.
DIR. Webster recently procured eight
pair of pedigree registered silver-black
foxes which were imported from Prince
Edward Island. These are valuable an
finals and the fur of silver black fox is
one of the most expensive furs on the
market. The value of a single pelt as
quoted In Fur News is 500 to $3.50
each, although it has been recorded 49,
500 was obtained for a well matched
pair of silver black fox pelts.
The fox lives in pen with two COM
partments. Surrounding the pens at a
distance is guard fence ten feet high,
built in the same manner as a fence
Immediately surrounding the pens. The
house of the keeper, Marshall L. Wicks,
is situated on a hill near the pens.
Although the ranch of DR.. Webster is
the first in Lewis county where fox
farming is engaged in, there are Others
in this section of the country. In 1918
the Adirondack Mountain Silver. Black
Fox company was incorporated with a
capital Of $4,000. II owns, near Rem
sen, in the northern part Of the adj
joining county OF Oneida, a ranch OF
more than 200 acres. The domesticated
silver black fox has usually from two
to six pups in a litter and the young
are born in April or May. The ranches
are closed to visitors from Dec. TO
July l. The foxes rapidly become
acquainted with their keeper and show
no alarm when he approaches to feed
them. Their meals consist of meat,
cereals, vegetables, eggs and milk.
The Canadian government has for
many years loaned it, support to fox
breeding and. according TO the state

NATURAL GAS FIELD
MAKES PEOPLE RICH
Snake Hollow Field in Pennsylvania Is
Spouting at the Rate of Almost
100000 Cubic Feet
Day.

Pittsburg, Jan. 9.-Spouting natural
gas at the rate Of almost l00,000,00O
cubic feet day, the Snake Hollow
field, which is not yet four months old,
already has made large number Of
persons comfortably rich, while some
thousands of others are anxiously
awaiting the outcome of their subter-
ranean gamble in more than 200 wells
where the drills are kept going day and
night
The development, which became APP
parent when strong flow OF gas blew
the top off a derrick ON Sept. IS last,
covers no more than 100 acres of town
lots in the outskirts of the thriving
little city of Mckeesport, l6 miles from
pittsburg. Efforts are being made by
important oil and gas interests to ex-
tend the field. If these test wells, now
being drilled, come in gushers, an i'm
portant addition to the gas producing
territory of Allegheny county will have
been found. If they are busters" ge,
ologists say, it win not be long until
Snake Hollow will be thing Of the
past. and dreams Of wealth be nothing
more than memory.
Rock pressure, the measure of natural
gas at the well, was 1000 pounds to the
square inch when the first well came in.
This pressure, experts say, has now
been reduced to 600 pounds, indicating
that already the field is beginning 10
decline. However, there are some 20
good wells in the field, and every well
which reaches the Speechley sand,
where the gas is found, comes in a
gusher good for 100000 to 10000, 900
cubic feet. This cannot last, for the
wells are drilled so close together that
the pool will be exhausted very soon
unless it is found to extend over much
wider area than that now producing.
But while it lasts Snake Hollow Is
taking on all the features of boom
district, where fortunes are made over
night. Steep hillside lots which six
months ago could have been bought for
a song have sold for $4,000, and leases
covering spaces not big enough to hold a
drilling equi- ment, have brought half
that sum. Churches have leased their
back wards, and schools have given over
their Fairgrounds to the driller for a
consideration. In one instance the
township board of education leased a
school property, getting $4,000 down
and 30 per cent of what the drill might
find. The lease of an amusement park
was sold for 100000. A year ago the
land. surface and all that might be
under il, could have been bought for
$500 an acre.

GAZE BRYAN CREDIT
FOR STARTING LEAGUE
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels Thinks
Bryan Laid Foundation By Arbi-
tration Treaties Nego-
tiated BY Him.

Washington, u. c., Jan. William
Jennings Bryan was given credit by
Secretary Daniels, speaking at the
Jackson day banquet here last night,
for laying the foundations of the league
of nations covenant through the arbi-
tration treaties negotiated by him as
secretary of state.
1.-THE declaration tof independence
and the covenant tof the league Of
nations)" the secretary said, ARE the
two living light fountains of liberty
and peace 1t is the glory of the Demo-
cratic party that through Jefferson and
Wilson we have given these safe charts
for all time for safe navigation upon
all seas.
"Just as surely as .Iefferson's declara-
tion and Lincoln's emancipation glorify
American craftsmanship, the covenant
win yet bring free nations into such
| accord that reason and not force viii
rule among nations as among individ-
uals. A long step toward this ideal
was reached in the celebrated and be-
nficent Bryan treaties, which Germany
alone, of European nations, refused and
forecasted its action in 1914 in precipi-
tating the war. The principals and
spirit of the Bryan treaties expanded
and enlarged are embodied in the treaty
Of peace"
Asserting that no man appreeiatiye
of the changing conditions believes the
coming presidential election predestined
for any party, Secretary Daniels told
the banquetters that the record of the
last seven years entities the Democratic
party to renewed lease of power.
But the Democrats assembled here, Z
he continued, must bear in mind that
virtue is sometimes its only as well as
its own reward A shell-shocked world,
with unrest and the spirit of change,
admonishes us that more will be re-
quired than good record Of perform
anee. The people are looking not so
much to what has been done as to how
the problems of the future are to be
solved
Recalling the strenuous antagonism
encountered by Presidents Jefferson and
Jackson, the speaker continued:
'In this hour the same malevolence of
those who think themselves born booted
and spurred to ride on the backs of
Others Is aimed at the world leader in
the White House. Those Republicans,
who think they inherited the right to
exclusive and perpetual rule at Wash

bequeathed the residence at the navy
