Vice President Curtis still Is keeping
his own council regarding his future
political plans He may make an an
nouncement in November. :. So far he
has the vice presidential nomination
in his vest pocket If he elects to make
the race next year. If he decides that
his duty is to run for the Senate and
redeem for the Republicans the seat he
formerly held in that body, but which
has since fallen into the hands Of the
Democrats, then the Republicans will
have to find another candidate. There
are plenty of gentlemen who would
like to have place on the national
ticket next year with President Hoo
yer. The death Of Senator Dwight w.
Morrow of New Jersey has removed
from the field the most talked Of candi-
date for the vice presidency. Some
of the Republican leaders believe 1t
would be good strategy to have a
Roosevelt on the Republican ticket next
wear. a son Of the late Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, particularly If the Demo-
Gratis are to nominate Franklin D., a
fifth cousin of Col. Roosevelt. There
is something in name after all in this
game of politics. But Gov. Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., had been rather slated
for the post of governor general OF
the Philippine Islands. It will be in
teresting to see whether he is sent to
the Far East since the death of Mr..
Morrow. The Republican leaders of
both Houses of Congress have been
mentioned as possible vice presidential
nominee of the party next year, Sem
tor Watson of Indiana and Repre-
sentative John @. Tilson Of Connecti-
cut. Senator Watson insists, however,
that it is his duty to run for the
senate again next year and that he
is not a candidate for the vice presi-
Dental nomination. Tilson is at pres
emit engaged in hard struggle to get
himself nominated and elected Speaker
Of the House. If he succeeds he might
wish to hold on to that job instead Of
taking flyer at the vice presidency.

FORD AND EDISON
 AND FIRESTONE
 DEFEND DRYLAW
They Say Prohibition Is Good Thing They Also Say That Dishonesty Caused Depression

Fort Myers, Fla, March 16.-- (UP)
 Henry Ford, Thomas A. Edison, and Harvey Firestone agree that prohibition is a good thing, that working men should be able to cre- ate jobs for themselves. and that the alleged depression is the result of dishonesty. The trio met over the week end for the first time in more than year, made a tour of inspection of the Edison laboratory yesterday, and renewed their praises of Edison's work. They agreed entirely with Ford's sentiments, yex- pressed in 8 published interview, in which he said that dishonesty is the cause of the so-cailed depres- sion; honesty is the only cure" He did not explain the statement.
 Hard times will do the people good if it teaches them the lesson of honesty" Ford said.' However, do not admit that these are hard times. They are good times, but the people do not realize It." He praised President Hoover, spoke of the Wickersham report as "dry, and that's all care about it." recom- mended less government interference with business, and mo public own crship of public utilities. He said he believed his acguaintaces among the "big men in electric utilities" were "sincere in giving the people service"

The panegyric also indicated a students appreciation of St Pat rick's influence in the national life of the Irish and as delivered in an eloquent manner by Father O'Meara marked one of the outstanding ob- servances of to-morrow's big event.

The day of the bicycle in police work
apparently is over, as the department
asks for no appropriation for this work
in 1888. The 81 500 thus saved Is ex-
pected to be used in the purchase OF

Kelly Is Commended.
On account of the excellent work OF
Private James Kelly In designing and
supervising the construction of the po-
lice radio sending station, and super
vising It's maintenance since Its con-
struction, an item Of $500 is asked as
extra compensation for the radio su-
pervisor," by which title he will be
known If the item is approved. Kelly's
work was officially commended by the
Department of Commerce after an ex-
animation of the new police broadcast
ing unit.
For civilian personnel the estimates
ask for S165,970 in 1888, as against an
appropriation OF S120,170 in 1882. 1t is
proposed to use part Of this to set up
a statistical bureau, headed by Capt.
L. l. II. Edwards and stated with
civilian personnel, which Will male
quarterly and annual statistical reports
and answer the frequent queries to the
department for statistical information.
This, the estimates say, will relieve
about l8 policemen of is days work
on statistical reports each quarter.
1t is also planned to change the two
position switchboard at police head
quarters to a three position board,
necessitating the employment OF three
additional telephone operators, on ac-
count of the great amount of traffic,
which at times unduly rstardS tele-
phone conversations on important po-
lice business.
Nine policemen clerks st headquarters
will be replaced by civilian employees,
in order to allow the policemen to re-
turn to regular police duty, according
to another request in the estimates.
This will involve an annual expense OF
$4,000 for salaries.
The department asks for an increase
in uniform personnel, except for that
to accrue from the release of policemen
now doing clerical work.
