 Pickpocket

New Yorf, July 24.-John Oberlatz of Los Angeles, a Civil war veteran, emerged from a train at New York city terminal yesterday with s560, his entire savings. safe in his pocket as he thought. Before he passed through the "big iron" gate, that portal of the unknown to strangers he felt tug at his pocket.
 When Oberlatz reached for his money it was gone. But not the man he suspected of taking it. Emitting a shout that would have made Stuari's raiders green with envy, the wet" of other years galvanized into action and then ensued a chase in and about cars which finally ended In the capture of Harry Davis.
 search failed to reveal the money in the possession of Davis, but he was held in S1o.000 bail on a charge of pocket picking.
 MT. Oberlatz is to be the guest of the railroad company until the charges against Davis are disposed of. Davis has a record of 1s arrests, po- lice say.

HERRIcK LOSES CONTENTION
Fails to Expunge stenographer's Story
 of Libel Plot From Record

Washington, July Exchanges that Manuel Herrick, former representa- tive from Oklahoma, planned big libel coup against newspapers, which were made by Miss Ethelyn Chrane, his former stenographer. whom he sued for $50,Oo0 damages for failure to keep promise to marry her, will remain upon the records of the Dis trict Supreme Court, despite Herrick's protest.
 Justice Bailey in Circuit Court 2, yesterday overruled Herrick's action to strike Miss Chrane's plan of justi- fication from the record on the ground that it was libellous and scandalous. The plea contained the statement that Herrick proposed to marry Miss Chrane secretly, and then sue news papers for libel If they commented upon his supposed misconduct with her.
 Miss Chrane declared that she re- fused to entertain such proposition and broke off the engagement. The al legged plot to sue the newspapers is now expected to be aired at the trial, which is scheduled to take place next fall.

ed in this way how different from
the present atmosphere, surcharged
as it is with clamorous demands of
over-solicitious friends, would be that
in which he would work and labor
for the big, exalted ideals of his
country. Far removed from the ex-
igencies of politics and the needs of
constituencies of representatives and
senator's. the President would be free
to consider calmly and dispassionate-
" the needs of the whole country.
His selections to high office would
be made, regardless of the effects
they must have upon the political
future of statesmen anti politicians.
l recall a story of President Lin
coin. 1t appears that in the early
days of the Civil War when the
northern armies were sorely pressed
and bad news was reaching the White
House that the President when seen
by an intimate friend visiting him
was walking up and down his study,
careworn and greatly disturbed. The
friend said TO the President: II
wish could relieve you of your
burdens, Mr.. President. The news
we are getting from the northern
armies is .discouraging. The Presi-
dent turned and said to his inquiring
friend: Il am not now thinking Of
the northern armies, 1 am wondering

In this story there is illustrated
the demands made upon a President
of the United States at a time when
personalities and the success of this
or that individual in the political
field should be subservient to the
welfare of all.
During my term in the White
House, striking incident occurred
at one of the most critical stages of
the World War when a bitter con-
troversy arose over the question of
who would be appointed postmaster
Of small city in northern Ohio.
1t was at a time when David Lloyd
George was crying out that the World
War was a struggle between Won
Hindenburg and Wilson. Various fac
tons Of the Democratic party were
interested in the selection of a par
ticular man for the northern Ohio
post. Many conferences were held.
the postmaster general had refused to
recommend for the place the man
chosen by the congressman from that
district. The senator's from the state
were at odds and thus the controversy
in its finality, With all the soreness
and bitterness that had been engen-
dered, had TO be passed on to the

COOLIDGE WILL NOT BE
HURRIED TO DECISIONS
ON MATTERS OF STATE
Political Life Has Been Characterized by Caution
and Reticence and He Is Expected to Move
Slowly With Plenty of Consideration Be-
fore Making Any Decision on
Questions.

I ayers did not have OCCASION once To
| reprimand him in the campaign, al
| though some of the "irreconcilables
! shuddered when he indicated, in one
speech, that he was not averse TO the
League of Nations. Friends of The
league, remembering this speech, have
hopes that he will reopen the sched
ule, but this is unlikely. Mr.. Cool
idge is not apt to play with danger
Gus explosives. 1t would not be
strange, however, if he championed
Mr.. Harding's world court idea, but
on that question, as on. others nobody
knows his attitude.
"NOt a Word In Hour"
Senator Watson of Indiana had a
one-sided debate the other day on
that subject in the presidential suite
what did the President say?" Mr.,
Watson was asked.
Not a word," said the Hoosiel
solon, though he had been closeted
with the silent President for an hour
or more.
Calvin Coolidge is just naturally 81
lent. His silence does not indicate q
lack of interest as a story told the
writer by one of the new Presidents
old Vermont friends the other day will
prove. When Mr. Coolidge was gov.
ernor of Massachusetts, this friend
dropped in on him and invited him
to the theater. Throughout the per-
Torrance the governor gave no indi
cation Of pleasure.
Il got the impression he was bor-
3D." explained the friend, land made
up my mind I'd never invite him to
the theater again. A week or SO later,
dropped in on him and he asked
me what / was doing that evening. =
told him l was just killing time.
Well. then said Mr.. Coolidge IN
his quiet manner. let's go to the the
alter again. l thought that show We
saw the other night was very good
and if you don't object, we'll see j,
again"
President Coolidge's diffidence and
modesty are inherited from his father,
Col. John Coolidge of Plymouth Notch,
Vt. When Calvin Coolidge was in
augurated vice president n dinner was
given in Washington in his honor. Hi
father was present and was introduced
TO the diners. Expecting TO hear an
interesting speech they settled back in
their chairs, but Colonel John stooS
up. bowed and smiled and sat dowr
without saying a word On the way
out of the banquet hall. Colonel John
slipped over to the writer and wills
pered: Now. perhaps. you know why
the vice president does not do much
talking"

tics. His philosophy never leads him
to worry.

President for decision. Feelings
must not be hurt in this matter.
And thus we found the President at
n time when critical war matters
pressed upon him compelled to give
his time and energy and his vitality
to this matter of secondary import
ance. 1t is reported in the daily press
that efforts will be made to relieve
the Presidency through congressional
action by making it unnecessary for
him to sign various commissions
grant of public land, etc. In my opin-
ion this attempt to relieve the Presi-
dent would be performing but a
minor operation where a major one
is necessary.
My plea, therefore is to amend the
constitution So as 70 provide for a
single term of either four or six years.
This would leave the President free
to carry out his responsibilities to
the nation as a whole and would re-
lieve him of all worries and anxieties
incident to campaign for a second
term

, patience, stamina and energy. Time
and again / saw the sorely burdened
President with the weight of per-
picking cares and responsibilities
upon him, indulgently listening TO
the partisan claims of Especial plead
ers" from Capitol Hill even at a time
when solemn decisions affecting the
destiny of the nation and the world,
had to be made.
In the face of all these hardships
and cares, it was fine. noble, COM
mendable thing, an act of the genialty
and goodness of President Harding
to announce an "open door policy v
at the White House shortly after his
Inauguration, but l am expressing the
opinion now that / then expressed
! to friends and advisers, that his
benevolent democratic policy could
not be satisfactorily carried out with.
out severe charge upon the energy
and time of the President. Such a
policy can only result in physical and
! nervous exhaustion.
So we realize that while the Presi-
dent is thought to live in lonely isola-
ton at the White House, he is COM
PEELED daily TO be accessible to 40
representatives and 90 senators, not
to mention the multitude of diplo-
mats, bankers, business men of af-
fairs and delegates from all over the
country? And, added to these bur-
dens the President must be ever ready
to confer with the political chieftains
of his party who report to him the
condition of his party in all states
of the union.
1t is my opinion If the President
of the United States were permitted
to handle, the purely administrative
side of his office, free Of blighting
entanglements of politics. his energy
and recourses could be utilized in the
handling of the greater problems
which confront him. But the fact is
(when / say this, it is without dis
paragement of the distinguishe% occu-
pants Of that high office) tod much
of the Presidents time is given to a
consideration of problems that IN
their last analysis are purely politi-
cal, of his administration which should
be subordinated to weightier meas
ures.
In other words. the President is
no sooner comfortably seated in the
White House than the urge of friends
is thick upon him to "sell himself
and his administration to the coun-
try" He is, of course. always averse
to propagandizing and resorting to
savings around the circle" But his
intimate friends and advisers impress
upon him the wisdom of appealing to
the people. explaining that the sue
cess of his administration depends of
his going to the country and so the
strategy of campaigning is urged
upon him. The only solution for the
problem is TO make the term of a
President one of four to six years
duration with the provision that he
shall not be eligible for reelection.
