COOLIDGE RKED BY FOES TAUNTS;

By RAYMOND CHAPTER (Leased Wire To The Age-Herald. ]

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Presi- dent Coolidge is growing restive' under taunts of his political opponents who are daring him to go out and show him. self ;n person to the country
 The President has a number of speak ing engage ments which he is seriously considering acecpting, despite the view of William NJ. Butlrr. tll-' lm chou" continue ( do iIst q, he is new But Ter is so (, hfident # victory ih Novem. Der that he does not wish to change his tactics, feeling that this might be construed as an indication os uneasf- ness on the part of the republicans.
 But the President must be reckoned with and if the democrats and inde- pendents continue to challenge him to appear out in the country, he is likely to take them up. Senator Wheeler has been especially sarcastic in assigning alleged reasons for Coolidge remaining here.
 May Ignore Advice
 All of which is beginning to irk the President to the point of action. Cool idge has been running for office all of his life. He has been elected to nine public offices, working up the ladder from city councilman at Northampton, Mass. He believes that he knows something about campaigning. If he suspects that there is a possibility of anyone believing what his opponents say about his stumping abilities, he is apt to disregard the advice of Butler and take to them fiddle west.
 He has invitations from Missouri, Illinois and Ohio, all doubtful states He has not accepted any of them-yet He would prefer to continue in his original plan of remaining here until election. But he will not be placed in the attitude of hiding from the voters
 Considers Western Swing
 The Presidents speech at Baltimore last Saturday was we'll received, though he spoke in the heart of Maryland democracy. Even the Maryland demo cratic senator came to the White House several days later to extend congratula- tions. Democratic newspapers at Bal timore were cordial in their comment This reception was just encouraging enough to put the President into a re- ceptiye frame of mind regarding mid dle western trip. It will take little now to push him into going.
 Should he go, there Will pc no parh' storming He will make few set speeches, and give the folks along the route a glimpse of him from the back platform, but without resorting to the tail-end platform speech.
 Coolidge has decided to go to Phila- delphia for the 150th anniversary ot the assembling of the continental con gress on September 9. He speaks a week from Sunday to the Holy Name society here. Other addresses will be except the Philadelphia engagement has been scheduled.

 At least this will be the case in the Plattsburg regions, according to the list of "don'ts" for women ora tors laid down by Mrs. William Wolff Smith of Washington, D. C., who is in charge of the school where Republican political workers are be- ing trained in "spell-binding."
 Exposure of silken angles and full shaped calves is to be avoided, Mrs. Smith warns. She is telling the wom- elaborate slippers, you desire to keep attention concentrated on higher plane"

'LAYMAN ATTACKS A
COLORED MINISTER
LATTER WAS PREPARING TO
GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
WHEN ASSAULTED.

Rev. ]. T. Simpkins, pastor OF the
First Baptist church. colored, was as
saulted while en- route to Sunday
school by Mitch Ware, a well-knoWn
negro of Dawson and layman OF the
church, alleging that the latter had
invaded his home. Several wounds
that required surgical attention were
inflicted on the preacher.
A charge Of disorderly conduct was
made against both, and Mayor Nc
Tendon imposed fine of $1,000 each.
Simpkins has taken out warrant Tor
Ware charging him with assault, and
the case will come up for trial at the
next term of the city court.
The negro Baptist ministers OF the
city are standing by Simpkins and
have requested publicity OF the fol-
lowing resolutions, which have been
adopted by them:
"The colored Baptist ministers OF
Dawson are greatly shocked over an
episode which occurred Sunday morn
ing, June 18th, when one OF Daw-
sons leading colored ministers came
to within few points OF being as
sassinated. On preparing to go to
Sunday school the preacher was at
tackled by layman of his church. AT
ter a few words of a personal nature
he was struck and dangerously injur-
ed
First, we, the Baptist ministers of
Dawson, want the people to know the
rasca1ly act has been condemned. Con-
slider a man calling another out on
Sunday morning, at the Sunday school
hour, to fight The idea of a man hav-
ing a personal difference with another
and not using common sense over
the matter but to fight.
Second, he attempted to assassi-
nate the minister If the accusation
had been true why shouldn't he have
fought him manfully instead of hitting
him from behind? Knowing he was a
prominent colored minister, why
shouldn't he have seen him privately
and settled their differences instead
of raising a disturbance on Sunday
morning? This act was not done in a
fit of anger, but with the idea of
downing the pastor.
1--WE, the Council Of Baptist Minis
tiers, then do condemn this act The
idea of making the preacher pay the
same fine imposed on Ware, with a
doctor bill already paid by him! We
ask our white friends to see that he
gets full justice in the trial which is
soon to be held. We know that our
superior race will not suffer for one
of our ministers being treated in that
manner"
