"Take Two Chairs" !"
(New York Times. )


 Philadelphia dispatches state that Mir. Cool idge is the only Chief Executive to have received from the Union League both it's public service medal and it's certificate of honorary member ship Presidents Lincoln and Johnson each got the medal, and Harrison, Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft got the certificates, but both go into the Coolidge collection.
 There must be something significant ir this. What can it be? It is difficult to reach a con clusion without knowing how the League dis cussed whether to give President the medal the certificate or both. What does President have to do to come to the favorable attention of the Union League. and how did Grant Hayes Garfield Arthur and Harding fail 1t? Why did Lincoln get the medal only and Coolidge the entire bag of tricks?
 These questions of vast importance. The Union League really ought to clear the thing up MT. Coolidge be rated In Philadelphia nc higher than Lincoln or Roosevelt, and no more standpat than Mckinley, Harrison and Taft
 If he were Phladelphian. the riddle would be soluble But then if Phiiadelphian eve' goes to the White House, the League Will prcb ably give him it's medal certificate and table ware.
