Washington, Feb. 21.-President
Coolidge has checked "the mob spir-
it." That is the concensus of opin-
ion in Washington, and it is abund-
antly confirmed by the press of che
country. Mr.. Coohdge's sharp re-
buke of the Senate when it sent him
the resolution, passed chiefly by
Democrats, demanding that he dis
miss Secretary DENLY from the cabi-
net, has not only commanded the
widest praise-from Democrats as
we'll as Republicans-but has brought
home to the people what the New
York Tribune terms "the mob spirit
of the Senate, its determination to
lynch Mr.. DENLY first and try him
afterwards" AS the Tribune points
out, should it be found that Mr. Dem
by has been guilty of some of the
things charged against him, it would
become the duty of the Senate to sit
as his judge in impeachment pro-
ceedings, while the Senate has de-
stroyed it's judicial character by
lynching the accused before hearing
the evidence-before trial. Even the
New York Times, leading Democratic
paper of the country, goes so far in
its praise of Mr.. Coolidge as to COM
pare him with its greatest hero,
Grover Cleveland. 1t says, by his
bold and immediate assertion of the
Executive, as against an overwean-
ing Senate, Calvin Coolidge has ia
ken his place alongside Grover Cleve-
land"
The Senate's oil investigation is
going merrily along and is spreading
over so much territory, german and
non-germain, that it is doubtful if
the members of the committee will
ever get through, or even find time
to read, the mass of documentary
evidence they are calling for. AS a
destroyer of presidential boomlets
at least, it is proving an immense
success. No Democratic politician of
standing and judgment can be found
who does not regard the McAdeo
boom as dead beyond resuscitation;
even though Mr.. McAdoo's hand
picked supporters in conference in
Chicago make their best efforts to
white-wash their candidate in ac-
cordance with the specifications pro-
vided in his call for the conference.
That the verdict of his friends will
be precisely what McAdoo has al
ready dictated no one in Washing
ton doubts. Now rumor has it that
the committee will be credibly in
formed that the son of Senator Hi
ram Johnson, of California, has been
for a considerable time an attorney
on the Doheny payroll.
The Democratic section of the SEN
ate investigating committee is hav-
ing delightful time-except when

CALIFON WANTS TO OWN
LOCAL WATER SUPPLY

The Califon Improvement Associ-
alton wants the borough to own its
own water supply, taking over the
plant and equipment of the Califon
Water Company, which has recently
raised its rates.
The water supply was originally
installed by Peter Philhower,
merchant of that village who wanted
to do his neighbors good turn.
In those days neither material or
labor cost much, and there was no
effort made to earn a profit on the
small investment. At present suf-
ficient money must be earned to
pay for the operation and maintain
ance of the plant, and this caused
the recent raise in rates.
Califon, with 513 inhabitants, has
thirtyfive or forty stores and
business places, bank, trust com
pany, water supply, electric lights,
auto fire engine and other modern
improvements-and couple of pas
senger trains each way per day on
the Jersey Central Railroad.

The building of better roads was
the main subject discussed by the
Solebury Farmers Club last Sat
urday at its meetingn held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Chester A.
Magill, in Solebury Township.
1t was the concensus of opinion
that the township could buy its
stone cheaper than it could crush it
with portable outfit.
Albert w. Perton said that with
township stone roads costing $4,000
per mile, and the total road tax not
being greatly in excess of that, but
little improved road could be built.
Allen Knight thought that drag
ging the surface and keeping the
bitches open at the proper times
would go far toward maintaining
good dirt roads. He said that small
repairs, made when needed, would
save more expensive ones later on.
Chester A. Magill thought a por-
table crushing outfit would help in
the work, but Mesers. Preston and
Knight thought quarry crushed
stone the cheapest.

drags had been purchased by Sole
bury Township, but that when he
endeavored to secure one to do

Belts MARRIED
63 YEARS AGO
Former New Hopers
Observe Event at the
Friends Home.
MINDS ARE GOOD

Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Belts, for
mer residents of New Hope vicin-
ity, but now boarding at the Friends
Home, in Newtown, celebrated their
sixty-third wedding anniversary at
that place last Thursday. Many
friends called and letters of con-
graduation were received during the
day. In the evening members of the
Home celebrated the event by read
ing poems and letters. Mr.. Belts
will be 90 years old in July, and
Mrs. Belts is some years younger.
For many years MIR. and Mrs.
Belts resided on the farm now own
ed by DR.. George Morley Marshall,
in the house now occupied by w. L..
Lathrop, the artist, and were famil-
lar figures in New Hope, and at the
monthly meetings of the Solebury
Farmers Club, of which they have
been members more than fifty years.
They were also active in the affairs
of the Solebury Friends Meeting.
Some years ago they quit farm
ing and went to live with their son,
George II. Belts, who resided on a
farm between Wrightstown and
Newtown. He has since died, and
his wife sold the farm, after oper-
ating il for a year or two, so the
elder Belts took up their residence
at the Friends Home, which has n
number of aged boarders, of the
Quaker (Society of Friends) faith.
Mrs. Belts has been blind for a
number of years, but, despite her
age, overcame this handicap better
than many young people. Gifted
with a keen mind, she soon master
ed the reading of works for the
larry the various publications issued
in that line. This, coupled with the
aid of Mr.. Belts, who reads the
Bucks County newspapers to her
has kept her thoughts up TO date
and she is most interesting con-
versationalist.
Mr.. Belts is an extensive reader
and keeps in touch with the affairs
of the day much closer than many
younger men. He still attended thu
annual gatherings of the Solebur,
Farmers Exhibit when he was 85
and enjoyed every bit of it, as wei
as the renewing of old acquaintance
ship among the people he met. H'
is the oldest surviving member ot
the Solebury Farmers Club, and Is
the last of generation of men who
were active in Solebury and New
Hope affairs from the COS to the
late '90's, and in some instances up
to twenty years ago.
1t is the hope of their many old
friends that this couple will live to
celebrate several more anniversaries
of their wedding.

DISCUSSES ROAD SUBJECT

chicks was discussed, and the pre-
vailing opinion was that day old
chicks at 15c. or Ice. each were
cheaper than Matching at home.
Mr.. Samson, of the poultry COM
mttee, thought that possibly better
results might be obtained by careful
selection of eggs and Matching at
home, but that it takes too much
time.
Reuben 7. Ely advised getting
the best and strongest chicks from
the hatcheries, leaving the culls to
somebody less particular. He said
that he had raised 900 chicks from
"A lot of 1000 day-old youngsters.
He added that the farmer who lets
his hens run, instead of housing and
feeding them properly, will not get
much of an egg yield in the winter,

nounced the program, and Celia
Price sang one of her little kinder
