San Francisco is wondering how
much President Hardings death mill

one or both of the 1924 national con-

stronger hope of securing the G. Q. p.
meeting, because the democrats went
there in 1920. At one time, too. San
Francisco feared that republican
leaders might hesitate to take their

To Initiate the Ford Boom.

Officers of the Ford for President
Club at Dearborn explain that their
recent inactivity is not to be construed
as indicating abandonment of their
efforts to bring about the nomination
of the Michigan manufacturer for the
presidency on some ticket or another.
Their quiescence was due to the
thought that Mr.. Ford would prefer
they should cease their work in
proper respect to the late President
Harding. When the season arrives, ID
is announced, they will begin with re-
newed impetus the propaganda they
have in mind.
Early in September the directors Of
the club will call a meeting to discuss
a renewal of their campaign and
evolve definite plan of action. 1t is
declared that one of the first steps
Ford and ask for a statement from
him whether he will consent to be-
come a candidate for the nomination.
This would seem to be a sensible
course, and will be approved by the
public. There have been so many con-
flicting reports recently whether Bar
kis is willin' or not that the public is
in confusion, hardly knowing if it is
afoot or on horseback in this respect.
Let Mr.. Ford come out and say SO. if
he wants or will take the nomination;
if he does, his friends ought to know
it so they can set the pot a.boiling for
him, and if he does not he should
relieve the minds of number Of esti.
mable gentlemen who do want it, and
are willing to work for it.

New Bible TRANSACTIONS Tried For
Centuries

While ministers and laymen are
discussing the translation of the new
testament by Professor f. j. Good
speed. University of Chicago. into
every day English, long row of an
cient Bibles at the Newberry Library
in Chicago offers evidence that the
same controversy has been going on
at least coo years, according to Pierce
Butler, authority on early printing.
The NeWberry contains virtually all
the originals on the subject of how
the Bible should be rendered in Eng
lish. Many of them are suggestive
of the old days when translatinG the
Bible did moro than cause criticism
of the translatOrs.
The first one published in English
was Wiclf's new testament, 1880,
manuscripts of which are extremely
rare. The only reason that Wiclif
died in his bed was that he had so
many followers that nobody dared
touch him, said Mr.. Butler. Like Pro-
fessor Goodspeed, Wyclif and his dis
ciples wanted a translation in every
day speech.
This is an explanation from the CO.
page defense of the plan which ap-
peared in later editions: First it is
knowe that the best translation is out
of Latyn into English, to translate
after the sentence, and not oneli
after the worlds, so that the sentence

the criticisms made against him was
that he eliminated various terms dear
to the hearts of the clergy.
Then came Myles Coverdale. 1887,
who got out an English edition with
the authority of the king and with the
beloved terms replaced. Two years
alter came the so called Great Bible.
There are many other Bibles in the
Newherry collection that recall Wig
orous criticism The Bishops Bible,

pictures shocked the devout-Leda
