PRESS COMMENT
ON WITHDRAWAL
VARIES WIDELY
Ry United Press Leased Wire

Editorial comment in newspapers
in all parts of the country today
disclosed a variety of views on the
future course of President Coolidge
in view of his 10 word statement
that he did not "choose TO run
for president in 1925.
The word "choose puzzled many
editorial writer's, even the unabridg-
ed dictionaries being of no avail;
all defined the word as meaning
either choice or decision. But
the Boston Post, which has been
friendly to the President, said the
word ''choose in the New England
sense means q positive decision.
AS for the chief Republican pa
pers of the country, they were una
nimous IN expression of regret but
divided on the result of the state
ment. The Washington Post ana
the Philadelphia Inquirer took the
position that Coolidge had eliminat
ed himself with his statement.
The New York Herald Tribune,
the Boston Herald. the San Francis
co Chronicle and the Les Angeles
Times. equally strong administra-
ton supporters. predicted that the
party and the country would
draft - him for another term.
1t is what the American people
want and not what the President
wants, said the Los Angeles
Times. "that will decide whether
or not Calvin Coolidge will be
candidate in 1928
Democratic papers also were vari
ed in their INTERPRETATION of the
statement, although most of them
seemed inclined to believe that
Coolidge would not be a candidate
next year.

Arms Conference
Marking Time

GENEVA, Aug 3,-Final word
from Washington before adjourn
ment of President Coolidge's naval
limitations conference was awaited
today with the possibility that the
conference might agree on q naval
holiday for several years.
Conference circles took the atti-
tude that it was Washington 5 turn
to speak before Thursday s plenarv
conference. Should the United
States accept the naval holiday pro
posal, originally made by the Brit
ish and revived by the japanese,
he conference would have achieved
something more than failure.
The British and japanese said
today that the situation had not
changed. which meant that stale
mate continued.

Too Late.

The proposal to create new party
out of the dry elements of the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties comes
too late. The only possible objective
that such party could have has al
ready been attained. 1t would be like
creating new anti-slavery party. In
American history two reforms march
ed down the years side by side-Anti-
Slavery and Anti-Liquor. The wise
ones thought that Anti-Liquor would
be the first to give battle and win.
But events turned out otherwise; Anti
Slavery was first called to the field.
A party was formed that embodied
that principle, and upon that party
devolved the responsibility of cleo
tions, war, and reconstruction. The
issue, being settled, lives no longer.
Fifty years later, the, liquor ques-
tion came prominently into national
politics, this time without a specific
political party being formed to carry
it before the nation. A hundred years
of education in temperance principles
had prepared all parties in Congress
and in the states to deal with the
matter. BY larger proportion of
states than ever adopted any other
Constitutional Amendment, the anti
liquor amendment was suggested.
Now, if it is case of someone try
ing to evade the law which abolished
slavery, case of someone trying to
introduce human beings clandestinely
into bondage again, the course of ac-
ton is clear.
And If it is case of someone try
ing to evade the law which abolished
liquor, case of someone trying to
introduce the prohibited traffic clande-
