Daugherty Power Suffers

Daugherty Power Suffers
The political influence of Attorney
General Daugherty has suffered an
apparently insurmountable blow in the
death of the President. Daugherty's
health is weak and he is in no condi-
ton to gather up the fragments of
his organization. It is confidently ex-
pected he will resign his post and re-
tire TO private life.
William NJ. Butler, Republican ma
tional committeeman from Massachu-
sets, is being prominently mentioned
as the leader Of a new Coolidge fac
ton. He is an attorney and close
friend of Mr.. Coolidge believe he will
be appointed Attorney General.
Then there is Frank ". Stearns.
the Boston business man who Is al
ready recognized as the power closest
TO the President. He is proprietor Of
d department store in Boston and has
been Mr.. Coohdeg's biggest booster"
for the last ten years. 1t was Stearns
who brought Mr.. Coolidge out for
Governor and advised his campaign
In the last national elections.
Stearns and his wife are in the
suite next to the President on the
third floor here. They met the Presi-
ednt in New York and undoubtedly
will continue to live close to him In
Washington indefinitely.

courage is the marvel Of her friends.
But they see behind the drawn, firm,
kindly features evidences of the an
guish Of her heart.
Gratitude to People
Each silent crowd beside the rail-
road brings a fresh reminder of the
Nations loss and must be an add
tional pang of sorrow for the widow.
But when she speaks of this at all,
1t is with expressions Of gratitude for
the American peoples thoughts.
IT can never tell these people how
they have helped me and upheld me
in this hour" Mrs. Harding said, her
hand on a stack Of kilograms that
come pouring it at every station.
1t is her inordinate pride in her
dead husband and the achievements
of his lifetime that keeps Mrs. Hard.
ing going.
The train is due in Chicago. where
tremendous crowd is expected to be
gathered for a few moments Of trib-
ute and mourning, at $50 this after

When the funeral special finally
came like a sable ghost out of the
west and passed, its drivers grinding
more and more slowly between the
long ranks an absolute silence gripped
the crowd. And the train itself was
like a veritable train of the dead. No
signs OF life or light appeared down
it's long length as 1t rolled in at di-
minished speed, until the last car
came into sight. The windows of one

everything within was craven, so mo-
tiorless were the guards bowed over
their rifles, around the fag-draped
casket.

ACORNER
With the
FARMER
By r. WEBB SPARKS
Market Editor of The Times =

The underlying tone of reports
emanating from Chicago support the
belief that the grain trade is taking
a slightly more optimistic view OF the
future wheat situation, due to talk of
reduced acreage in Kansas, as voiced
by Secretary Mohler and various news
paper accounts that describe move
ments among farmers to diversity
their agricultural pursuits next year.
One expert even goes so far as to say
that this future situation might be-
come a factor in the immediate stu
alton when viewed in the light of
present discounting of the current de-
mand.
Despite this view, however. a lead.
ing official of the Federated Farm Blu
reau issued a statement in which he
expressed the belief that farmers could
gain nothing by carrying their wheat
in anticipation of materially higher
prices Experts are fairly well agreed
that the situation for the present year
is without relief, with the possible
exception Oh crop UaIldSS III the
American and Canadian Northwest,
a fact that has not been given serious
credence by continental purchasers
for the last few days.
That farmers viii diversity farm
ing to a greater extent next year is
scarcely to be doubted in the light OF
traditions almost age-old that bumper
yields with consequently low prices
are invariably followed by lean"
years Of high prices. Regulation OF
the law of supply and demand has
never been accomplished in any line
of endeavor, but successful attempts
have been made in many lines OF
industry by careful discounting of the
future. Less wheat. higher prices
more wheat, lower prices and Sc or
throughout the category of business
experience and farmers are very like
ly to take heed of the lesson SO ex
rensively learned this year and turn
to pursuits other than wheat raising

 THE AGE-u ERALD Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 10

Indications Wednesday night were that the senate and house committees of conference will be unable to reach agreement on the highway commis- sion bill and that the session will end with the commission remaining as it was established in 1919. An all-day conference was held between the two committees Wednesday and at adjournment the understanding was that negotiations would be re- newed before the legislature meets Thursday morning.
 Little information regarding the conference was available, but it was understood that the house conferees held out for a commission of three elected by the legislature from among persons nominated by the governor. while the senate conferees insisted that the commission should be ap- pointed by the governor.
