TEST FOR
CLIENT

While no appeal will be
noted by Hugh Latson Nc
Daniel, 28-year-old photogra-
pher Of Takoma Park, who
was sentenced to 15 years in
the penitentiary for holding
up and robbing the Silver
Spring National Bank, a SAN

cording to his attorneys, Dave
Hornstein and Charles Walker,
Of this city.
Both attorneys declared they
have never had d client given q
fairer trial than that given Nc
Daniel in the Rockville Circuit
Court and gave unstinted praise
to the justness Of the trial judges,
who they declare, gave Mcdaniel
every opportunity to establish his
innocence.
Doubt His Sanity
Counsel stated today that they
are convinced Mcdaniel Is not in
his right mind and that ! sanity

his term will prove beyond doubt
that he is not responsible, and was
not responsible at the time Of the
bank holdup.

Coolidge Clamps Lid
Down On Extra
Holidays

President Coolidge is not going
to grant any more extra holi-
days to Government employees.
He regards the repeated re-
quests made to him to grant such
holidays as an abuse, and thinks
there should be an end to them.
If the Federal employees are
entitled to them. they should ask
Congress to authorize them in
addition to those It has already
authorized. ii was said on his
behaIf at the White House today.
The President feels that he
ought not to be called upon to
grant the employees holidays in
the absence Of any statutory au-
thofiza ton.

WALSH SHOWS WISDOM

Withdrawal of Senator Walsh from the presiden-
tai race on the Democratic ticket is sensible move
and the only logical that could be taken bv the
Montana senator, who has stamped himself as one of
the foremost men of the country by his work in con-
necton with investigation of the oil scandals.
In announcing his withdrawal the senator denies
accusation that he has been used as catspaw bv the
Hon William Gibbs McAdoo and asserts he entered
the presidential in the honest belief that he might
be nominated.
There is no doubt in anyOne's mind that Governor
Smith OF New York is certain to be his partys choice
TO lead the Democratic forces. Senator Walsh ac-
knowledges the inevitable and does the wise thing in
endorsing Smith, as good Democrat should do
The senator's brief campaign has not lessened the
esteem IN which he held by honest citizens regardless
OF potlcal creed and his straightforward message in
announcing his withdrawal cannot but help to add to
that esteem particularly among his Democratic breth-
Even though he is forced to forego the highest
honor his party pay himthat of being chosen to
carry It's banner IN presidential racehe may be we'll
content with the knowledge that he has the respect and
confidence of political friends and political foes as an
upright and conscientious public servant.

A DANGEROUS INDERTAKJNy,

If the Washington Star persists in its pledge to
make public the of dry" members of the house
senate who appear at the capital in an intoxicated
condition. it is bound to find itself in considerable hot
water
Its idea may be founded exceptionally high
ldeals-that of exposing hypocrites-but in practical
sense 1t is too dangerous The particular state which
person indulging in Intoxicating liquors is really in
toXlcated, is much disputed matter. Some may
drink great deal, be wobbly in their carriage and
thick of speech, but still be possessed of clear think
ing ability. Others may mbibe only little show
form their duties
The road the paper has chosen to follow is bound
to be rocky one, yet the mere announcement has
made may have salutory effect upon those statesmen
at Washington who vote dry and live wet"
And considering the subject of drunken members
of Congress, one hardly help entertaining the
thought that some of the most absteminous of
tors sometimes conduct themselves in such a manner
and give expression to such thoughts, that make
really charity to believe they may be drunk. The
only alternative is to they crazy. Perhaps
they are both.

PRIMARY ELECTION MONEY SAVER

Additional data supplied by the county clerk
shows the recent arrangement throughout the county
in the presidential primaries, dividing into SO pre-
cncts instead of 81, caused saving instead of being
increased expense, despite the latter view held by
many citizens
Under the old arrangement, it necessary to
have six officers in each precinct because of the heavy
work to be done. Each official paid SO per day.
making total payment of S3,240. Under the
rangement, there average of four officials in
each precinct and because of the small amount Of work
required of them, they were paid $3.50 each, total
of $2790. This caused saving Of $3.50.
In order to take of the additional precincts
it was necessary to purchase 80 additional sets of eec
ton supplies at cost of $3.50 each, total of
S29250 Deducting this from the amount saved in sal
aries, makes a net of S158.50 saved to the county.
This is only the monetary saving. The greatest
asset comes from the fact that lighter work makes it
possible for the results in each precinct to be known
much earlier, and avoids long hours of tedious work
by those chosen to the election boards
There additional cost of ballots or sam
pie ballots, il is necessary to purchase the same
