Few lawyers would have declined

him from earnestly seconding the
ambition of Cox in 1920 for he was

wheel. and successfully. for his
fellow Buckeye.
FOLLOWING PRECEDENT.
II Pomerene has his eye on the
Presidency. It ought not to sur
prise anybody. They say that the
day Grant severed his connection
with the Democratic party and be-
came a Republican. 1t was dus to
the shadow of the White House
that fell athwart his vision.
Every male person born In Ohio
expects to be President.
When Warren Harding rode

the first time he ever saw q town.
he was thinking how he would
ride down Pennsylvania svenus
when he was inaugurated. Gar.
field saw the White House at the
end Of the tow-path. Taft saw II
at the end Of his course at Yale.
Mckinley saw himself riding down
Pennsylvania avenue behind the
Presidential pair when AZ soldier
he marched through Washington
after Appomattox.

chosen President Of the United
States.

position. In such matters he rises
above politics. He Is the lawyer
and nothing but the lawyer. His
presentation Of the case left no

titled to the seat.

argument the Newberry issue was

The featherweight pressure turnstiles
which have displayed an amusing roper
tory OF innocent pranks, such as clipping
off fingers OF passengers. &c, since their
installation in the subways few weeks

One OF them set a man aire in the

to be called to put him out.
James N. Mellon. New Brunswick

after. and believes that the burglar

Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock were awakened
later by the alarm clock, and they dis

When they were dressing they dis
covered the robbery. Mrs. Hitchcock
had lost her engagement ring, which
was set with seven diamonds in plati-
mum; green gold barpin set with dia-
monds and pearls, and a wrist watch
set with diamonds. Mr.. Hitchcock lost a
watch. Some jewelry was left behind
and 1t is believed the intruders were
frightened away.
From her experiences as a Red Cross
worker at Camp Merritt during the war
| Mrs. Hitchcock said she thought she
was qualified to know whether she had
been drugged. She said ether always
made her terribly sick. and from her
| symptoms following her awakening she
