FORD, FALLEN IDOL

Well, Henry has shown he's foolish like a fox. After surveying the world and found that 1t is politically no good, but fine for his business if not his polttics-whateve they may be he tells President Coolidge that he's for him and won't run against him. And at the same time Henry tells the world. if one may be allowed to in- terpret his heart back of his word
 that "business is good, thank you" There may he evil people. even, who will say that Henry, being not averse to hromides. would remark "Business before pleasure" the business being that of piline up his millions a day, and his pleasure" being to abandon himself to the adulation which would surround him like an cngulfing wave were he to listen 10 his keen admirers to the exclusion of those who are in- clincd to tell Henry what's what, and who's who m politics.
 People may even suggest that Henry looks for chance to get Muscle Shoals now that he has shown his ad- miration for President Coolidge which or course, is displaying a thorough sympathy with the regulars.
 No longer may it be said truly Of Henry that he is an ignorant ideal lst." He is a very practical man and ct the moment, it is far potter bus inoss' for him to keep ont of a fight against the mon who have it in their power to do him good business turn. Mir. Ford has made a tremendous suc- cess in business He isn't ready to re- 1 tire yet. Foolish like a fuX is Henry. |

THE POLICE OPINION

The corporation counsel has advised that the common council had the power Co adopt the two ordinances which admittedly were ignored when men over s5 years old were appointed to the police force. he advises. there fore. that such appointments were illegally made. he recommends that at the next session O. the legislature the charter be amended to more dnf- nitely define the powers Of the CO., ordinate brancaes of inc city govern ment But the corporation counsel recognizes that the police board wants the men in question on the force or it would not have appointed them. He therefore suggests that the counsel can amend the two ordinances iB- validating these appointments so that the men may be reappointed after such amendment is made. and re- main on the force Such suggested amendment 10 the ordinances is 10 tbe  effect that in special eases an officer may be appointed if he is s5 years old and under 90. on the recommeH- dstion Of the police board as approved by special resolution of The conn., cil.
 This would be simple way out oi the difficulty and would siraighten matters out until such time as the charter is made 90 plain upon the subject that no question would arise between the council and any Of the boards.

The smile comes with the knowledge Of tho players of billiards whose skill has been great at the ago of 63. Al though he is G3 years old" must have been written by one or the young men who cannot sco. in the experience of C8 years. any possibilities. Life at that age. to them. must seem dreary thing. TheN are to be reminded Of the truly great men who declared that. on his sixty-third birthday, being strong and well. he had never before known what it was to get the full enjoyment of life. It is not rare 10 find 6 man of 6 playing the best game Of bil- lizards Of his life. And Paderewsid still plays The piano--some. ''altho Igh G3." Deticacy Of touch-like billiards.

 The dangers that come with sd- vsnciug years are those brought by change in life habits from those Of earlier days. if such change is in the direction of greater violence. There would seem 10 be much more danger Co g man accustomed to exercise were he to give it up suddenly as he grew older. and thus become heavy and phiegmatic. than were he to continue moderately along the path 10 which hs had been accustomed always.

 After the merry persifiage had be- gun to cease and the echoes of the laughs and remarks that we can't do anything abopt it." died down, the mayor was the only member who seemed to see any principle involved in the matter at all. Moreover he saw also that communication from the common council of Bridgeport deserv- ed at least the courtesy of reply. He stated foreibly that he was in favor of the plan, and was decidedly in earliest in his declaration that cities the size of New Britain and Bridge port should have greater representa- ton than Berlin and Plainvile, for in- stance. He called for some action on the communication, 'as d matter of principle" and so, instead of tabling the letter as had been suggested, a vote was taken while the echoes of the iovial remark the little towns have got us tied up and we can't do any thing about it. accompanied the ayes which were given, indicate that the common council was unanimously in favor of changing the method of representation in the legislature.

WHAT'S GOING ON N THE WORLD
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
 NEA Service Writer

The White House announces Amer ica's willingness to be represented unofficially-0n international commit tees to get Germany's expenses down to, or below, her income; to put Ger man money on basis where it will mean something as money; to learn the amount of German Investments in foreign countries.
 This is planned as a step toward learning what war damages Germany can pay-principally to France.
 Each time such an investigation has been proposed before, at the last min ute France has said she wouldn't agree to the investigators' report un- less it suited her. And each time this has happened, America has said she wouldn't have a hand in it then.
 No such difficulty has come up this time--not yet.

 The man ran and when he disre- garded tho patrolman's order 10 stop. Hickey fired. The man staggered against a building and fell. At the same moment Hickey heard q noise behind him and turned to see two other men come from the tailor shop. They distanced him and when he re- turned he found that the first bur gar had disappeared. A bystander told the officer that someone had picked mp the man and taken him away in an automobile.

DEADLOCK IN CONGRESS

Week before last the progressive bloc" wouldn't let the republicans elect n speaker of tfe house Of repre- sentatives until they agreed to change the house rules to suit the bloc Last week the "progressives' tied mp the senate over the question of tho chairmanship of the interstate com merce commission.
 This committee shapes railroad leg islation, so it's very important.
 Senator Cummins has been com mittee chairman, but now he's presi- dent of the senate, Vice-President Coolidge having moved up to the White House. However. he still wants that chairmanship. On the other hand, Senator La Toilette, "progres- siye" leader, wants it, saying Cum mins isn't entitled to both jobs.
 Tho "progressiyes" hold the bal ance Of power" between republicans and democrats, in the senate as well as in the house. They cant do any thing themselves but they can keep anybody else from doing anything. So at present congress is dcadlocked.

INTERRUPT TRADE
Christmas Liquor Business on Coast of New England Is Interfeed With By Coast Guard Cutter.

Boston. Dee. 20.- The Christmas rum running trade off the New Eng land coast was interrupted when the coast guard cutter Tampa yesterday seized six motor boats which had gone out from shore to liquor laden British steamer off Cape Ann. The launches were lowed into the harbor here last night and preparations were made early today to make a thor ough search of the little craft in or der to determine how much liquor they had aboard.
 sThe exchange of radio messages between the Tampa and coast guard headquarters here which preceded the cutters arrival in port indicated that the launches had not had time before their seizure to load much contraband. The first message brought word that the Tampa had detained six launches which had gone out to a British rum running steamer Of which the name was not given. Five Of the launches appeared 10 be empty and one which had taken aboard liquor hoisted several cases back on board the steamer up- on the approach of the Tampa.
 Upon instructions from headquar- ters the Tampa seized all six boats and lowed them to this port The messages did not indicate just how far off shore the rum ship was lying and did not say whether the crews of the launches had been arrested.

POLITICS IN ENGLAND

Stanley Baldwin has decided tc hang on awhile as English premier He thought of resigning right after the recent election. True, the con- servatives this party) got more votes than either the laborites or liberals but between them they got more than the conservatives.
 Then it came out that. if Baldwin quit, King George would give the premiership to Ramsay Macdonald labor leader. since the laborites are the strongest party after the conser- Vatives.
 Rather than have labor premier it seems the liberals will help the conservatives on routine government questions. So Baldwin will try 1t for awhile anyway. Of course, under this partnership arrangement such poiicies will have 10 be passed up as conservatives and liberals can't agree on.
