ARMED GUARDS HALT BANK ROBBERIES

A dispatch from an Indiana town the other day told Of another high handed daylight bank robbery, car ried out in the usual manner-four or five men with guns entering q country bank with drawn reyolvcrs, bundling tellcrs and clerks into the vaults, grabbing all money in sight and decamping in the waiting au- tomobile" with engine running and confederate at the wheel.
 Indiana can do one or two things to stop the bank robbery record: Adopt the Michigan system of send ing them to the penitentiary for life if they are caught and convicted; or adopting the Illinois system of having armed guards patrol the vicinity of all banks day and night,
 Ten thousand armed guards have been on duty at every bank in the state since March r. Since then there hasn't been single bank robbery in Illinois.
 The armed guard system, al- though expensive, seems 10 be the best yet devised for states where bank robberies are as common as automobile accidents. And there is no If caught and convicted' about it, either; 1t prevents the necessity of catching and conyicting,

GENERAL 0'DUFFY
 HAVING HOT TIME
Twice Is Center Of New York
 Demonstrations

New York, June 2 (AP)--Geaeral Owen O'Duffy. whose policemen in the Irish Free State go about un- armed even as to night sticks, has been the center of two turbulent demonstrations here in as many days. New York police in one of these incidents were compelled 10 use the clubs which Irish police don't carry.
 A battage of eggs accompanied l.y missing and cries of shame" "tra tor" and he's a second Benedict Arnold" greeted the general last night as he was about to review tn I65 regiment, New York Nationa Guard, whose members are of | descent.
 Twenty women. kicking and screaming were elected from the armory by 200 military police an. detectives. Police needed clubs as warning symbols, but did not use them as all the disturbers were women.
 General ODuffys presence Sun day at Celtic Park stirred up free for-all fight. A crowd of admirer. collected about him. 4 man fell, crying that he had been kicked, and the fight ensued. One policeman with a club was helpless until re- serves arrived.
 Colonel J. J. Phclan, commandant of the 165th had been warned of the demonstration last night. Even members of the bomb squad were sent to the armory. Irish republican organizations had protested Colonel Phelan's invitation to the general Though eggs spattered the floor about him. General O'Duffy marched undaunted to the reviewing s<Snd and grinned. Three years ago he narrowly escaped assassination when fired upon from ambush in Dublin,
 He expressed amusement over last nights incident. Tt is most unfor- tunate," he said, that people dis agree over what l believe will even tually be the full freedom of Ire | land"
 The general is commissioner of the Irish civic guards and came to New York to attend the recent in- ternational police conference.

MARSHAL, pHlLOSOPHLh'
 NOW X MEMORY

Thomas R. Marshall, twice vice. prcs,dert of the United states, was 8 sturdy American of high ideals He diod as he had lived-with the Bible as a rule and guide to his con- duct with all mankind.
 Although he had been elected gov eruor of Indiana before his eleva- ton to the vice-presidency' there vas nothing in this Hoosier's make up that smacked of political amoi- ton. Of him it can truly he said that the office sought the man.
 His philosophy of life was found . ed upon the bedrock of integrity fair dealing and sympathy for the common people, and just appraisal of the responsibilities of American citizenship. It was rather a dis tressing commentary Of the ten- dencies of the age when his tdealis- tic philosophy was so often referred to as quaint"
 His was not a quaint" phiioso- phy. but a straightforward enuncia- tiop of the common verities, He lived an exemplihcation of the gold ep ruIe-and more can never be writtsns by any man.
 When President Wilson was il' and whispering campaign "a' started in Washington with a vie" of having him relinquish the respon' sibilities of office, placing the vice president at the head Of the govern mem. even members of the oabine' were inclined to think it advisable under the eircunstancea Ar

ADMITS SENDING
 BOMBS IN MAIL
phila. Man Took This Way to
 Collect Alleged Debt

Philadelphia, Pa, June ?. AP)--- An attempt to recover money of which he believed he had been de- frauded led Walter W. Graebner, postal employe, to xend bombs and about 100 threatening letters to Emil L. Podolin, attorney, Graeb- ner's counsel, A. l.. Wanamaker, de- clared in court when. his client was 'arraigned on charges of sending the bombs and letters through the mails.
 Gracbner, who confessed to send ing the. bombs and letters, was held in $10,0O0 bail by the United States Commissioner Manley.
 Wanamaker told the commission CT that Graebner was only trying to collect money justly due him, although I concede he employed the wrong method"
 Assistant United States Attorney Robert M. Anderson, prosecuting the case, said that Graebner had not only endangcr the lives of the defendants intended victims, but also the 100 postal clerks who handled the bombs" ..
 Post office inspectors testified the bombs were powerful enough to wreck the post office building; were ingenious and would have blown a train off a track had they exploded in a mail car.
 Graebner's story of being defraud- ed by Podolin was denied today by A. T. Hawksworth. post office inspector, who investigated the case. Graebner, Hawksworth said purchased an auto mobile truck through Podolin on time payments, but later. when he found the truck would cost more than he expected. decided not to make the purchase. But, bound by contract, he decided to pay for the machine in full and mortgaged his home to raise the money.
 The first bomb was sent about q month ago, and was found on a porch of the Podolin home, by a neighbor. The second failed to ex- plode, Hawksworth said, because its fuse was wet.
 Graebner was arrested last week near Winslow Junction IN. J., where he was waiting for Podolin to throw a package containing $1,000, from a train window as he had been in- structed in one of the letters.

term, He isn't as uncommupicatise as all thet
 There are plenty of good reasons why he shouldn't say ho dot6 want 1t, If he does. There's no imaginable reason why he shouldn't say he doesn't want 1t. if he doesn't. On the contrary, in the latter event. he could clear the ground and i'm prove his party's prospects by ex- pressing himself.
 The question, Can he got an other term?" Is different. slf he can get tho nomination, he'll take his chances with the voters. And if this were 1928 he could get the nomination..
 The old line republican leaders don't like him but the voters eyi- dently do. While that lasts tho old liners will have to so on making the best of him.
 If, however. ho loses his hold on the voters, by any chance, the party leaders will be tickled to death to throw him overheard. In other words. they won't let him have the 1928 nomination.
 He won't be like Taft, who, when he lost his grip on the voters, still held 1t on the party leaders.
 1f then. the country still seems as well disposed toward Coolidge three years hence as today, he'll have everything his own way in tho 1928 convention, and assuredly he'll help himself to renomination,
 Maybe he'll be as popular then as he is now. Then again, maybe he won't. Three years is a long time for public sentiment to stay put in a repuhlie like this.
 Something Nuiay happen. Or perhaps tho people will tire of so much conservatism, without any thing in particular happening. In that event--if he loses enough of his popularity-Coolidge will be eliminated automatically.
 The old line republican leaders won't try to force him on the electorate, The electorate forced him on them instead. But if he lives and keeps his health and doesn't get renomination. it won't be because he doesn't want it.
 The politicians are just pretend ing to wonder about him-and wish ing they had a little better reason for doing 1t.

Collecting Wild Geese

By Dr. Walter F.. Traprock
 It is always fascinating to watch the flight of wild geese as they wend their way northward or south ward as the case may be. The man. ner of their flight in geometrical formation is very interesting and the length of some of their jour neys is amazing. As ornithologists know these birds elect the largest and stongest male in the group to lead the migration. He is their flight commander and the other birds will follow him until they fall to the ground in exhaustion.
 l once tried an interesting experi- ment based on this follow-the-lead- CT instinct. I built a small plane, carefully camouhaged to look like a large wildgoose even down 10 such details as a horn that honked in imitation of their hoarse cry. In this machine I rose 1000 feet above the Connecticut hilla and headed north. honking persuasivcly.
 In two hours I was followed by numerous schools of wild geese which must have totaled over 50.- 900. I led them to lake in the in- terior of the Province of Quebec which I had previously selected as an ideal feeding ground. Here they and l ... landed and there they have spent the summers ever since in increasing numbers.
 From time to time I take a few favored friends 10 this carefully hidden retreat where. naturally, the hunting is incomparable l have in this far away corner of the world what is undoubtedly the finest pre- serve of tame wild geese in ex- istenCe.

OREGON SCHOOL LAW
 LAID TO REST

The so-called Oregon school law, by which 1t was sought to force all children to attend the public schools. eliminating parochial and private schools from the state, threatened 10 become national, and not merely a state, issue. The decision of the L. S. Supreme court in holding the law unconstitutional fully disposes Of 1t. Once against the court upheld the liberties of Ameri- cans to send their children to any school they saw fit. Other states with Oregonian predilections will now be held in check.
 It is astonishing that such fundamental precept of liberty was threatened in any American state. Compulsory school laws are univer- sal in this country; but 1t would have been going far beyond the re- ouirements for educating children had the Oregon law, specifying the particular schools in which such education was to be obtained, been permitted to remain upon the statute books.
 When parents agree to educate their children in conformity with the dictates of common sense ana the precepts of the state, it should be no particular business of the state how such an education is given so long as it meets a required standard. Public schools exist 10 make it possible for citizens to con- form to the educational laws. and it is left to the parents to determine whether they prefer the public or the private institutions.
 The thrust against American principles of government in Oregon was merely a tendency of the times In some states. Had the Oregon law been held constitutional it would have been ,u. a short step to attain further restrictive educational methods. in such a case 1t wouiu have been just as logical to specify that all collegians must attend the state universities and not other uni- versailles. and a correlated step would have been to specify the extent oi inc instruction or knowledge Inn rarted in both schools and state uni versailles. We already see an mixing 2 of this vicious tendency in Tennes' see.
 The oregon law was not only al attempt to force everyone to accept and conform 10 state education, bu' was a step toward controlling th' distribution of knowledge, restrict ing 1t to the desires of citizens like Mir. Bryan, or like those fear stricken custodian Of public educa ton in Tennessee who have ha' difficulty in determining the differ ence betwen a theory and fact

NA<Sh oNtfASp NAAtSA Washington. June "2.--Politicians profess to be wondering whether or not President Coolidge will make bid for another term In the White House.
 This wondering is pure make believe, 30 far as politicians with q particle Of sense are concerned. The even slightly sensible ones know perfectly well the president will try to succeed himself if he thinks he sees the least chance of getting away with 1t.
 Of course there's the two-term limit precedent. But. as we all know, that doesn't fit Calvin Coolidge, inasmuch as he got into his first fraction of a term by way of the vice presidency.
 True, Theodore Roosevelt did pro- vide something of a precedent for presidents in Coolidge's position, but at that it wasn't much of a prece- dent. Roosevelt himself was the only man ever bound by it, and he by no means because he wanted to be
 Besides, his fractional term was was much longer than Coolidge's, Even so, he considered that 1t was sufficiently doubtful if he weren't entitled to a renomination so that he made a special announcement on the subject.
 And directly afterward he wished he hadn't and finally tried to re- verse himself.
 No, no, President Coolidge cant see any impropriety in two terms and a fraction. Moreover. he as- sumes that his fraction didn't count and that, for all practical purposes, he's on his first term now.
 Without saying so in so many words-at any rate not publicly he's permitted this information to leak out through administration pokesmen"-which is the way presidents transmit to the public in- formation they wish disseminated but prefer not to articulate person ally.
 It's doubtful if single politician in Washington isn't certain the president would have announced it already, if he didn't want another
