In the convening of the 68th con- gress, Monday, may le either honors for Mr. Coolidge and con- tinued power for the party that he leads, or he may meet political dis- aster for both the president and party in the happenings of the next few weeks. It depends on Mr. Coolidge more than any other man. He meets his first big test as president. Upon his first message, to be delivered as soon the two houses are organ- ized, congress and the country will form their estimate of him. He has been silent. When congress meets, he can be silent no longer. ‘The president is ready. His mes- sage has been completed. Arrange- ments have been made to give it the widest publicity upon the day of its delivery.

Attorney John Hall, representing the accused couple, declared the charges against Arlene were based on “gossip and irresponsible investi- sation.” In the preliminary hearing the state centered almost its entire efforts in attempting to prove Scott was intimate with his wife's niece. As testimony was presented at- tacking the girl's moral character. her father attempted to bolster up her spirits, but she cried almost constantly. He soothed her by stroking her hair with his rough hand. Her mother, appearing aged and worn was also at her daughter's side.
