weight was added to this view of
the matter by the belated discovery
that it is certainly true that Ford Is
conducting no political campaign as

they are not persuading the precinct

Ford, it now seems ascertained, is
doing just two things. He Is labor

he Is letting q lot of scattered

make Is that no such thing exists.
They find that Mr.. Ford now has
just what Hoover had four years
ago. He has publicity but no or
ganized machinery for political ne
gotiations. s-.
They sigh with relief. Their feel
ing is:
He may cause us much annoy

But we observe with delight that he
has no harness on. He Is giving the
politicians nothing to hitch to. So in
the end we will just simply let him

Shade of Herbert Spencer

He wrote in his >Autobiog-
raphy attributing the passion
of Americans for iced water to
the "need for a sensation
which in one form or another
is universal" He further notes
"a prevalent disuse of alcoholic
drinks in America" and ex-'
plains that "the sensation of
taste being ungratifed, the
sensation of temperature is as
far as possible substituted for
it." In the light of present
day conditions the words of
England's greatest thinker
sound like an anachronism.

CABINET IS
EXPECTED
Foes Of, Bonar Law Believe
Tory Government Is Doomed
Within Three Months.
By DAVID M. CHURCH,
International News Service.

LONDON, April 16.-Despite
Premier Andrew Bonar Laws
prompt denial that he will resign
on account of impaired health and
the loss Of political prestige. hos
tile newspapers predicted today
that his Tory government could
not last three months longer.
Friendly newspapers emphasized
the premier's denial, charging the
reports of impending resignation
are due to systematic propaganda
put out by Former Premier David
Lloyd George, Austen Chamber
lain and their supporters.
Newspapers supporting the Bonar
Law administration claim that the
liberal and unionist adherents of
Lloyd George are doing their ut
most to weaken the prestige of the
Bonar Law government. They as
sert that Chamberlain, Lord Birken-
head, Sir Robert Thorne and others
who were in the Lloyd George
cabinet are anxious to remove
Bonar Law.
From all reports it is apparent
that there is friction within the
cabinet which adds to the cares of
the premier.
The Idle hard" element is in con-
troll, while the more liberal mem
bers are ignored. 1t seems fairly
certain, however, that Bonar Law
will not quit until he can find q
successor agreeable to both factions
Of the ministry.
It was regarded as possible that
Chancellor of the Exchange Stan
ley Baldwin might make such a
popular hit with his budget this
afternoon that he would be &C:
claimed the logical successor to
Bonar Law. Chancellor Baldwin
introduced many popular measures
In the budget, such as a reduction
OF the tax on beer and a reduction
of the income tax.
Bonar Law is suffering from a
throat atlment which causes much
annoyance. 1t is difficult for him
to talk at times. Otherwise he
seems to be in fairly good condition.
He is able to play tennis frequently.
He has the appearance, however,
Of a man both physically and men
tally tired. He lacks the robust
energy of Lloyd George, the sturdy
Welsh statesman.
The Daily Chronicle, which is
close to Lloyd George, understands
that he has received two invitations
to visit America. One was from the
United States; the. other from Can
ada. The former premier replied
that, owing to the uncertain situa-
ton, he could not give @ definite
answer at this ttmes

"TAW|N" TAKES
BAD HOMBRE
IN DARK
Seizes Mean Jasper, Ambush
ed in Monkey Hollow, Md,
on Woman's Charge.

The wintery blasts drove singing
pellets of sleet against the faces
Of q group of men who were wend-
ing their tortuous way through the
inky blackness of Monkey Hollow,
Montgomery county, about 2 o'clock
yesterday morning.
Suddenly the men halted in their
tracks and peered intently into the
gloom.
''Thar's mean Jasper ambushed
in that thar boiler, parls, an I'm
goin to git himi" said the leader
Of the band, bombarding a tree
stump with q forceful volley of to-
bacco' juice.
The speaker was none other than
"Lion-Hearted TaWm" Garrison. the
ploits as q man-hunter would have
made Two Gun" Hicks, the Ari-
iona bad man, turn green with
envy.
You stay here. pards; he's. my

And the Fugitive Halted.
The intrepid constable, loosening
his trusty six shooter in its holster,
gnawed off fresh chew from his
plug, and crashed through the

low.
Garrison spotted his quarry a few
yards away logging 1t a blue
streak. Emitting q roar that would
have put the Biblical Bull of
Bashan to shame, "Lion-Hearted
Tawm" yelled "Halt!''
The bull-roar did the trick. The
fugitive halted trembling In his
tracks and raised his hands high in
the air.
Today the prisoner, r. A. Carr,
cOlored, will answer charge Of as
saulting colored woman, Mabel
Olfus, near Branchville, when he is
hailed before Judge Riggs at Rock
Vile.
"Tawm'' told the story today az
he sat In his little gasoline service
station at Hyattsville, surrounded
by an admiring crowd.
Elephant Never Forget.
THAT guy is bad hombre, !"
said the constable. Last Tuesday
George Olfus, husband of the
woman Carr is alleged to have as
saulted, came to Judge w. Brooke
Hunter and swore out warrant
for Cars arrest.
II went up to Branchville to
serve tire paper, and nailed Carr
in thicket. Bill Corners, an
other constable, made for him, and
the negro, trying to escape, pushed
