BACK TO COOLIDGE"
(New York Times)

Midsummer madness does not let politics escape. So 1t may be only the heat which has caused re- newal of the report that MT Cool idge may be a candidate for the presidency next year. His former personal physician Is responsible for starting that particular March Hare in August. True. he does not assert that the f, rmer president Is anxious to run again. Nothing but an imperative call by the people could induce MT Coolidge to leave tho still air of delightful studies at Northampton. Yet the doctor states that if permitting the use of his name in the republican prim- aries should appear to be an over whelming duty, MT Coolidge would be willing to make the sacrifice. According to this medical dag nosis the body polite is suffering so badly from that depressed feel ing that 1t would welcome the coming again to the stock market and to industry of Good old Dr Coolidge.
 Neither confirmation nor denial of this suggestion may be expected from Northampton or Plymouth. But the fact that 1t has futtered the Washington dovecotes Is shown by the way in which 1t is solemnly repudiated by faithful interpreters of the administration. To the friends of MT Hoover 1t Is incre- dible that so faithful an admirer of his as ex-President Coolidge should so much as lift finger a- gainst him in 1882. Besides. It IS added with kind of subdued chuckle, the Hoover managers hay. already tied up more than 90 per cent of the delegates to the next republican convention. fe' 1t is possible that their loyalty might be shaken if the hard times continue till next June and IT the cry were raised that the way 10 restore Coolidge prosperity would be to draft MT Coolidge himself again. He would then be expect ed to wave his wan and make everybody rich and happy once more. If this were to occur, II would be proof that Americans believe in magic. It Is not In the least likely to happen. but politi" clans have been known before thlt to feed on the insane root. and may trip sample of 1t next year

In an article on Political Earthquake Weather in the February Vanity Fair, Jay Franklin says that new men. new times
 new measures, new methods. new policies
 new phoGophes are on the way
 Something is about 10 happen. It will hap pen in its own time and in its own way. For the first time in decade we are in the grip of political forces which are bigger and stronger than any man, any party or any nation No one knows just what from this political earthquake will take. But it may not be too much to suppose that 1t will be d public revolt against the increas- ing tendency toward bureaucracy, against the swift rise of the job-holding dictator. Perhaps industries and individuals are at last growing weary of political tyranny. In short. il may be that the political earthquake will have as it's purpose return to funda- mental American principles of government.

UNLUCKY $500

Last Wednesday evening a
sporty looking car stopped at
Rising Sun Hotel and three
young men got out, all more or
less (and one considerably
more than less) under the in
fuence of liquor.
After ordering supper, one Of
them attempted to phone his
wife in New York and his Ian
guage and actions were such
that VIM. Creswell, the town
bailiff, was summoned to eject
him. Considerable confusion
resulted, but finally he was
landed in the lookup. lie in
sisted on having Mayor jim
mic Walker and several other
prominent personages called to
let the people of this neck of
woods know who he was.
He was given three hours to
sober up and then brought be-
fore the Magistrate ON the
charge of being drunk and dis
orderly. He gave his name as
Henry Pierce and asked how he
came to be in Raleigh, North
Carolina.
Pierce wished to prefer
charges of abuse against the
bailiff, and robbery of $l28 or
1921 against Officer Jones. On
the assurance from his COM
panions that he would be safe
ly transported from Rising
Sun, a fine and costs of $1,000
was imposed. Pierce strenu-
ously objected to having to pay
an even Is simoleons, as he
considered it unlucky. The
Magistrate very accommodate
ingly raised it to $3.50, which
was paid without demur.

STORE KEEPER SHOOTS
BURGLAR
Wounded Man Lodged In Jail
AT ElktOn

Jack Gregson, of Lewisville,
Pa, is a prisoner in Elkton
Jail. He has a gunshot wound
of the hip and another of the
left leg, neither of them seri-
Gus, inflicted by John Schaffer
at the end of an automobile
chase that lasted from Chesa-
peake City to Knights Corner.
The shooting followed an at
tempt to rob the general store
of Joseph Schaffer & Son, in
Chesapeake City, at an early
hour Monday morning.
The Schaffer store is located
on the canal front, not far from
the home of the owner. Some
one detected burglars working
inside the store and notified the
elder Schaffer, who got in touch
with his son. The young man
procured his gun, jumped into
his auto and started for the
store.
Just as he reached the store
the burglars ran out, jumped
into their machine and sped
away. Schaffer pursued them.
At Knights Corner the car
driven by the burglars struck
an abutment and overturned.
Neither of the occupants of
the car were hurt apparently,
for they fed across a field, with
Schaffer close behind. He or
dered them to halt, but they
kept on running. Finally he
shot low twice at the legs of
one of the men, and brought
him down, the other man dis
appearing in the darkness.
The wounded man was taken
to Elkton and lodged in Jail,
where his injuries were treated.
He refused to give any infor-
nation as to the identity of his
companion.
An examination of the store
premises showed that the pair
had about $400 worth of gen
eral merchandise ready to haul
away in their automobile, but
had been interrupted before
they could get it to their ma
chine, which was parked in
close proximity to the store.
