Salve for Sore Spots

Henry Ford's announcement tha
he is no candidate for the presidenc,
in opposition to Coolidge and trai
he proposes to support the president
for reelection has upset the political
world OF the United States. Demo
Gratis and Progres.ives alike are gasp
ing for breath. Democratic leaders
sigh with relief. it is true. but the
rank and file OF the party would have
enjoyed voting for Ford
One OF the penalties and American

but single end in view: What was

And Henry Ford. through his re-
markable political position. has done
something so unexpected that every
one is casting about looking for rea-
sons. Democrats have already com
placently announced that Fora traded
support for Coolidge for Muscle

not mention that congress alone can
dispose OF Muscle Shoals and the Re

parent. cannot determine what con
gress is to do at this session.
However. the story is being told. |
And being told, it will convince many |
people that it is true because it sounds
plausible until investigated. Perhaps
1t is just a little salve and Democrats
and Progressives are applying TO sore
spots.

Q. Why did Woodrow Wilson d.

ten messages,
A. This question furnishes plenty
OF evidence that politics make strange
bediellows." During his first days in
the white house. President Wilson
received Senator Robert NJ. LaFol-
lette and following an audience be-
tween these two men there appeared
a statement from the press at the
time TO the effect that Senator La
Toilette had urged the president ~
deliver his message in person. The
newspapers related that Senator La
Toilette had told Mr.. Wilson that
when he, LaFollette. was Governor OF
Wisconsin, he found his purposes
greatly aided through the personal de-
livery of his message The item in
the newspapers was doubtless put ont
as a "feeier" II created a good deal
OF comment and President Wilson
tried the experiment on congress. At
first there were objections. and some
of the belligerent statesmen threatened
10 make trouble by putting questions
TO the president. In time the capitol
came to like the innovation

Q. Is there anything to indica,,
that the United States supreme couri
looks with favor upon numerous sug-
gestions to curb it with regard to FIVE
to four decisions2
A. Naturally the supreme court can
not discuss this matter. but John II
Clarke. former associate justice OF
the supreme court. has offered the sug-
gestion that the court decline 10 hold
unconstitutional acts OF congress when
ever several OF the justices conclude
they are valid. This would indicate
that the justices have been discussing
this matter in their secret councils.
Judge Clarke's theory is that "volun-
iarily to impose upon itself such 4 re-
straint would add greatly to the CON
fdcnce OF the people and the court
would very certainly increase its pow
er for high service to the country"
