of what his national fate may be,
Governor Clifford Pinehot has firmly
established himself as tie foremost
political figure in his home state by
his settlement of the anthracite strike.
If Governor Pinchot wants to be Penn.

Republican presidential convention,
there is no doubt that be can have the
big delegation as the nucleus of
possible growing strength.

Upham has had the votes pledged for
Chicago for several months Presi-
dent Harding was trying to convince
however that perhaps it might be
polite and wise TO give some other
good American city a chance at the
conclave. President Coolidge has ex-
pressed no preference.
No Coolidge Boom There.
Although Pennsylvania has two
members of the cabinet-AIr. Mellon
and Mr.. Davis-there has been no
attempt to launch a Coolidge boom in
this state. Neither Mr.. Mellon, the
secretary of the treasury. nor Mr..
Davis, secretary of labor. has been ac-
tive in Pennsylvania politics and while
they may personally look upon Mr..
Coolidge as his own logical successor
in the White House they have no
strength of organization behind him.
1t is said here that so far as their
influence could go, Senators Pepper
and Reed had determined even before
Mr.. Harding's death TO work for an
instructed Pennsylvania delegation TO |
the next convention There is little !
or no doubt however that the delega-
ton would have gone solidly TO Mr..

Harding had he lived and desired re-
nomination.
Now the sentiment in favor of the
instructed delegation naturally is
stronger than ever althe ugh il he
should express wish for it, Governor
Pinchots. friends will go holly into
the fight for it.
There Is no attempt on the part
of the governors friends to discuss
the belief that he is presidential
timber. They feel that his Intervention
in the coal strike was a ten strike.
In their own language they were
amazed" that President Coolidge
should have permitted Governor
Pinehot TO take the place as media
tor that the country assumed the
President, because of his strike ex-
periences in Boston, would reserve
TO himself.
Acted on His Own.
Governor Pinchot in all his public
utterances concerning the coal nego-
tiations has mad it plain that he was
acting solely in his own behalf and
in the interest of the public. He let
it be known that he was not an am
bassador of the White House, that
he was receiving 40 instructions from
Washington, but had every assurance
of assistance from there if necessary.
When Governor Pinchot visited
Washington some two weeks ago and
the announcement was made that he
would attempt 70 bring the warning
anthracite miners and operators to-
gether, there was general doubt as
to his exact status of the means by
which his entrance into the coal con-
troversy had been brought about.
The facts are these
When the head of the state bu-
reau of mines reported to the governor
that the coal negotiations at Atlantic
City, renewed at the request Of the
National Coal Commission. had broken
hopelessly down. Mr.. Pinchot called
up the White House and asked Mr..
Coolidge if he had in mind any definite
plans other than the provi, ing of sub
stitutes to the people.
As related by The state authorities.
President Coolidge replied that he had
no immediate move in contemplation.
Mr.. Pinchot then said that as governor

whose interests would be vitality af-
fected by a prolonged strike. he
would like to try to arrange a settle
ment.
Matters were held in allegiance UNI
til Governor Pinchot went TO Wash
ington and had further talk with
the President. Then he was told to
go ahead. and, as his friends ex-
pressed it today. ''he left the White
House a free agent and personally
responsible for the success or fail
ure of his efforts"
State Revenue Increased.
There was in reality more politi-
cal significance 10 the governors ac-
tivities than any contemplation Of
move toward the White House. Penn
sylvania collects n tax of between &c.
100000 and S7,000.000 n year on all
mined in the state. Gov
ernor Pinchots "econom.. budget"
needed every cent of this income dur
ing the next two years. If the mines
were idle for an length of time. the
budget would be hopelessly upset and
a big deficit would stare the governor
in the face at almost the outset of his
four years in the state house.
But now thanks 70 him, the states
income has not suffered As n mat

A Mosquito Catcher,

The device of Turing an animal by
initiating the cry of its mate is prob
ably prehistoric, but it has been left
to modern man to apply the method to
the mosquito.
Nathaniel Morgan has invented a
mosquito trap consisting of a violin
string, violin bow and suction fan.
The bow scrapes the string and
faithfully reproduces the female mos
quito's high soprano serenade, and
when the male comes along TO see
what is the matter the suction fan
gently pulls him in and deposits him
on a piece of. fiypaper. 1t is like the
SIRENS song that lured the mariners
to destruction.
The idea seems ingenious and excel
lent. but 1t has plainly one great flaw,
for it only entraps the males, and it Is
the female mosquitoes that inoculate
malaria.
