COOLIDGE IS
F|TFOR TASK,
PASTOR SAYS
President Spiritually and
Temperamentally
Capable.
GRADUATED TOGETHER
Says Nation May Place
Confidence in New
Executive.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 4.-Ac-
cording to the past or of the man
upon whom fate has thrust the crush
ing burden of the Presidency of the
United States, no man could be more
thoroughly fitted, spiritually and
temperamentally, for the task than
Calvin Coolidge.
DIR. Jason Noble Pierce, dominic
of the First Congregational church
where for the past two years the
Coolidges have worshipped, thus de-
clared in an exclusive interview with
the United Press today.
Pierce is New Englander and is
a co-trustee Of Amherst College with
President Coolidge where they both
graduated, Coolidge in 1899 and
Pierce in 1902. Their. friendship
long antedates the time when Pierce
became pastor of the local First Con-
gregational church with the then
vice-president as q member of the
congregation.
Faith In His Ability.
The abiding faith of DR.. Pierce
in the ability of Calvin Coolidge to
pilot the ship of state is based on a
belief in the new Presidents uncom-

COOLIDGE NHERITS WORLD
COURT ISSUE TO THRUST
UPON REGAL CITRANT SENATE
Harding Leaves Single Lighted Torch to Be Caught
Up by Successor, Who Will Disregard Wishes
of Associates, Washington Believes-With
Republicans Torn by Dissension, Demo-
Gratis Weld Balance of Power
in Senate.

il the managers of his party were op-
posed to pressing the world court is
sue, he would disregard their admoni-
tons and go ahead according to his
own lights. How President Coolidge
will feel now that he is compelled to
go against the wishes of his party as
sociates only time will tell. He will as
usual, keep his own counsel.
Inherits Recalcitrant Senate.
President Coolidge unquestionably
has inherited a recalcitrant Senate
1t was conceded weeks ago that the
next eighteen months of the Harding
administration would be tumultuous
ones. 1t wGs agreed that, only with
the help of some friendly Democrats,
could anything like an administration
program be put through.
The Republican majority in the
Senate has all but faded from view
1t disappears when the Republicans
who are 'off the reservation" are
taken into account. And these Re
publicans will be just as much "off'
under the Coolidge regime in TIN
White House as they promised to be
under Mr.. Harding.
Mr.. LaFollette and his followers ara
no more disposed TO go along" with
the man from Massachusetts than they
were with the man from Ohio. They
didn't approve of the conservative type
of mind and certainly Mr.. Coolidge
is conservative. He has no patience
with any ''isms' other than Ameri-
canism.
Senate Unity Lacking.
Mr.. Harding's death unquestionahly
will add to the promised Legislative
and political chaos of the winter. The
Republican recalcitrants were nj
least blocked to the extent of realiz-
ing that Mr.. Harding could have the
presidential nomination in 1924 for
the asking. Now they will make the
sky the limit, for. while Mr.. Coolidge
friends undoubtedly will put him for:
ward next year, Just as Colonel
Roosevelt was urged for presidential
term in his own right, the aspirants
for the crown will not show the same
Difference TO the unexpected newcomc'
in the race and will make all the po-
litical capital for themselves that they
can.
With the Republican forces in tho
Senate torn by dissension, the Demo
Gratis will WELD the balance of powet
and apply the safety brakes from
time to time. No one knows this bet
ter than silent Calvin Coolidge, WIN
has sat in the Senate and seen the sit.
uation develop. Just how he Will
handle the situation. just how he VII
assert his leadership, remains to DC

Out along the tow path by the
canal there is q sense of creeping
lonesomeness since Scotty went away
"a martyr to a little dogs devotion
for his mistress.
No dog on earth will ever take
Scotty's place in the sad hearts of
his friends. Scotty was the pet and
protector of the home of Jack
Speaker. near Great Falls, and the
delight Of every honest person who
ever tramped up the trail of the
canal. One day, just about two weeks
ago, Scotty and Mrs. Speaker were
hurrying to a distant store when his
mistress was faced by a coiling cop
perhead snake.
Dog Dies Of Bite.
In a flash the dog leaped forward,
Just in time to receive In his own
cheek the painful. deadly fangs that
were intended for Mrs. Speaker.
There was a terrible struggle, and
in a few minutes the snake was scat
tered in pieces along the canal bank.
But Scotty limped whining back to
the Speaker f1reside, there to pay the
supreme price for his self-sacrtficing
love.
The Speaker family misses him, and
the Wanderlusters miss hin1-his
bark of welcome, his cold nose thrust
into their outstrstohod handA So The

Wanderlusters Start Fund
To Replace Canal Dog Hero

Wanderlusters have set out to get the
Speakers another dog. The move
ment was started by NJ. G. keistcr, of
1923 Girard street northwest, who
will receive any contributions made
for this purpose.
Praise for Dog.
Mr. keister testified to the worthy
qualities of Scotty in letter to The
Star. He told how the little spaniel
used to accompany him on his frequent
walks along the canal bank and how
more than once he destroyed a snake
that might have proved a dangerous
enemy to the hiker. In conclusion he
said this:
II want to assure you-as many
others no doubt will do-that the death
Of Scotty is deeply regretted by his
many friends and that Mr.. and Mrs
Speaker will feel his loss and protec-
tfon keenly. 1naSmuch as they are peo-
pie OF very moderate means, I wish to
suggest that q fund be started to in
some measure, at least, replace the
services Of Scotty.
Coming at this season of the year,
can contribute only little myself, but
I think those old folks should be pre-
sented with a Thoroughbred shepherd or
collie. They need a protector and no
dog Is too good for Them
If any Wanderluster who knew
Scotty, or any person who loves ami
mails, happens to read this, they may
contribute toward Mr.. Keisters fund if
they So desire by addressing him az his
homo on GdrarU street.
