Greater Than God?

Come forward in Massachusetts, group OF midget
minded lawyers and in Spokane Bible crank 70 argue
that nerhaps Calvin Coolidge has not been properly sworn
in as president of the United States The president the
fasteners suggest, had better be sworn IN again py
the chief Justice of the supreme court just to be on the
safe side
LAWYERS of this kind make the people impatient of the
law.
In the early hours of the morning, after he had been
notified of the death Of President Harding, Coolidge
stood before his aged father, notary public authorized
10 administer oaths In the little amplighted paror OF
his home they read together this section of the United
States constitution: 20
Before he enter on the execution of his office he
shall take the following oath affirmation:

execute the office of president of the United States and
WILL to the best of my ability preserve protect and

That is the whole of the constitutional requirement
Coolidge solemnly swore to this before his father and

Dominick Salerno, Usually
Called mickey" is
Found Guilty.
TWO PRISON YEARS
Judge Slater Immediately Fol
lows Jury Verdict with
Sentence to Waupun.

Dominick ("Mike") Salerno was
found guilty of serious statutory
charge in the circuit branch of the
municipal court this morning. The
jury-verdict was brought in before
noon and Judge Slater proceeded at
once to sentence the defendant. 1t
was shown that Salerno had a previous
court record, having been found gull
ty of a felony in the same court three
years ago. He was convicted of grand
larceny in April, 1920, and parolled at
the time for two years. Because of
this previous record the prison SEN
tence was inevitable.
"TRe court finds you guilty as
charged" said Judge Slater, "and the
Judgment and sentence of this court
is that you, Dominick Salerno, be COM
nitted to the state prison at Waupun
for period of two years at hard la
Dor, commencing at noon this day, the
first day of your confinement to be
solitary"
Ends Sordid Trial.
The MONDAY whistles blew just as
the judge finished and Salerno left the
courtroom; his youthful figure swing
ing in its usual braggart way, and only
FREELY look Of menace in his dark
eyes showing his realization of what
the sentence meant. He was accom-
panied across the street by Sheriff
Pabst and clinging to Salerno's arm
was his mulatto wife.
Following in his wake and gathering
in knot at the courthouse steps talk
ing were the bunch; Salerno's
swarthy youthful companions, some of
whom had appeared as witnesses in
his behalf at the trial on Thursday.
One Of them could not be there: that
was Paul LaPere who was locked up in
Jail on the orders of the district at
torney.
Believe Girls Story.
Frank Symmonds as district attorney
prosecuted the Salerno case, assisted
by John F. Kuehnl. It was a difficult
ease for the state inasmuch as there
was only one state witness, well-bred
girl from a. northern Wisconsin farm
Edith Lundgren. Her testimony was
uncorroborated, and the judge care
fully pointed out to the jury the
weakness of uncorroborated testi-
mony under the law.
Frank Symmonds argued the case to
the jury in behalf of the state with

LOANED FORBES CASH
Ugly Charges Are Brought Against
Former Head Of Veterans Home T

struction of a government hospitalI

COBLENZ PROCLATMS
RHINELAND REPUBLIC
Despite Reverses the Revolutionists
Declare a Republic at Coblenz
on Tuesday.
tBy AgsOciated Press Leased wirel

Paris A Rhineland republic has
been proclaimed at Coblenz and a pro-
visional government has been appoint
ed but, as a satirical French newspa-
per puts it, Republicans seem lacking.
The situation of, the separatists this
morning is not brilliant. They made
no Roadway yesterday; rather the re-
verse. They appear definitely to have
lost Aix;la- Chapelle and also their
hold on other places as the loyalist po-
lice react from the first surprise of
the coup and realize that the French
and Belgian authorities are perfectly
sincere in their neutrality and have
no intention of interfering except to
stop bloodshed.
The separatists are actively opposed
by the communists and the labor in
terests. Thus at Wiesbaden the en-
ployes of the street car and gas works
went on strike.
The correspondent Of lie Matin at
Aix-laC hapelle quotes Leo Deckers,
leader Of the movement, that resulted
in the capture of that city on Sunday,
as saying:
81 believe that in eight days every
thing will have ended in our favor.
The struggle is hard, but revolution
is not effected in a day.
We have been successful in places
where we expected stubborn resistance.
"Duisburg-is in our hands. The Bonn
citadel of Prussian militarism is also
ours; Crefeld is surrounded and Co.
blenz this yesterday afternoon pro-
claimed the Rhenish republic"
