12 L4 FOES VISION TRIP HURTING PRESIDENT! Expect to Make Capital [ From Some of Western ! Speeches. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The democrats look upon President Harding's western trip without ap- prehension or concern. They really think it will ultimately yield political benefits in their direction. President Taft's swing around the eircle was followed by widgspread insurgency in the republican party. Disaffection exists in the ranks of re- publicanism today, especially In the west. The democrats are not expect- ing a third party to be developed this time, as in 1912, but any friction in the republican party will tend to enhance the opportunity of the demo- orats to make a platform and nomi- mate a candidate of special appeal to the discontented elements. In Defensive Role. As vet no plan has been made to trail the President with speakers or to answer his speeches. The strategy of the democrats is to let Mr, Hard- ing have the political stage to himself, for he is in a defensive position, any. way. and his critics will analyze his utterances much more effectively if unhampered by the partisan outbursts of an active political opposition. The President will have to define the issues. The democrats are in a position to pick flaws in the presi- @ential program without, at this time, oftering an alternative. Their tactics wWill be to break down the force of the presidential argument and leave until the next democratic convention the task of framing a platform in answer to it. The “outs” alway: have that advantage in politics and the democrats will not hesitate to take a leaf out of the political guide- { bLook of their opponents in hammer- ing away on everything they can, avoiding” any commitments in_ad- vance of the party convention. More or less the same strategy of guerrilla warfare will be pursued in the next Congress except that the democrats will be aided and abetted by the &roup of insurgent republicans who already have begun to make life miserable for the Harding contingent Stand of Borah. The President himself will be able to some extent to keep his political foes from bombarding him if he sticks 10 a non-partisan style of speech. If, However, he plunges boldly into re- Publicar achievements he will invite rejoinders. more likely to find himself attacked By republicans who disagree with him than democrats. His first speech on the world court is awaited with much interest by the “irreconcilable™ element in his party. The general expectation is that Senator Borah will be particularly aggressive in attack- ing the President on the world court question, but it would not be sur- prising if the ldaho senator made only a gesture of opposition The truth is Senator Borah is up for re-election next year and he needs the support of the regular republi- ©ans to win the nomination. Politi- cally speaking. it behooves him to straddle at the moment and not to antagonize the regulars. This is an important phase of Idaho politics at the moment and will bear watching in connection with the trouble that some of the democrats have been hoping and_wishing would begin to brew for Mr. Harding in the west 1t will not be as material a factor as they thini. As for Hiram Johnson. senfor sena- tor from California, nobody knows vet what his attitude will be. The resident = a specch in Califor- nia after returning from Alaska Should he mention the world court or anything else on which Senator John- aon disagrees, there W certainly be some response from the California reconcilable.” The last word. how- is that the world court will be » the subject of presidential dis- course in St. Louis, where the com- ment of Senator James Reed. demo- crat, will not hurt republican har- mony and that the subject will not be revived in California. Any attempt to turn Hiram Johnson's “home state against his way of thinking on an thing would put the senior senator on the warpath and President Harding knows it Farmer Problems. Democratic hopes of western politi- cal earthquakes may therefore not materialize so far as insurgent re- publicans are concerned, though it Is quite possible the world court issue will be side tracked in im- portance alongside of agricultural problems, which after all were the crux of the western revolt last eutumn The policy of the democrats will be to wait watchfully the opportunity to take advantage of any misplays by Mr. Harding. and if his speeches are unconvincing in themselves the democratic strategists are too shrewd to stir up partisan emotions at a time en unprejudiced scrutiny of the President's utterances might rebound to_their benefit The real reply to the western trip of President Harding will probably be made In the next Congress, when the republicans from the west show their hand. If he wins the west they will be tractable; if he doesn't make an effective impression they will be recalcitrant. The democrats feel they need only to wait to see which way the cat jumps before committing themselves to anything. (Copsright, 1923.)

WOMEN PLAN SUGAR PILGRIMAGE Mobilizing Baltimore Autos for Capital Drive Against Tariff. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, June a pilgrimage of Baltimore house- wives to Washington to have the tariff on sugar removed are rapidly taking shape. The suggest ac- cording to Mrs. George M. Gaither, first vice president of the House- wives' League, has met with instan- taneous favor. Many women, she said, have volunteered the use of their machines. “A number of them have told me that the moral effect of the recent sugar parade which the women held in Baltimore was so good.” Mrs. Gaither explained, “that they feel confident a parade or pilgrimage to Washington will be productive of even better results. And many of them are women who formerly were not particularly enthusiastic’ about women joining in parades. “The fact that the price of sugar did not rise, as was predicted, but that it has actually dropped half a cent, has convinced them we were using the right tactics “The grocers, too, are assuring me that women are holding out on the boycott and that their sugar sales since have been low—very low Housekeepers from all parts of the country have been making inquiries about the sugar parade from Balti- more to Washington, according to Mrs. Gaither, and a letter has been sent to President Harding asking him to extend an invitation to the White House No date can be set until the Presi- dent has been heard from, but the league here will go over to Washin ton in machines bedecked with pos 20.—Plans for Mr. Harding, however, is|ers, flags and balloons and headed a brass band.

By the Associated Press. POCAHONTAS, Ark., June 20— Four priests and a lay official of the Engleberg Catholic Church, near 20.— | here, were wounded in a mysterious shotgun attack on the home of the priests Monday night after church conference was concluded with a soclal affair. Burton Knott, twenty, of the En- gleberg neighborhood, is in jail here where he was brought by deputy sheriffs shortly after the shooting. His companion, Henry Danlels, who, with Knott and Daniels younger brother, was suspected of being a member of the party which fired into_the pastor's home, was released on $200 bond to await preliminary hearing. The younger Daniels was released shortly after his arrest. Joe Bruner, lay official of. the En- gleberg Church and the most se- verely injured of the five, is in a Jonesboro hospital, where his numer- ous wounds are being treated. The four priests who were struck by the gun fire are: Father Herringer, En- gleberg pastor, whose home was at- tacked; Father Straussner of Jones- boro, Father Heflinger of Paragould, Father Froitzheim of Pocahontas. A veritable fusillade of shots splintered the house, entering the indow and striking the men who were gathered around a table check- ing_reports received in the church conference.

Washington should have 300 more policemen to handle traffic and ade- quately patrol the rapldly growing outlying sections, in the opinion of Commissioner Oyster. The Commissioner, it is known, in- tends to ask Congress in the new estimates for additional men for both the police and fire departments. While it is doubtful whether the lawmakers would make provision for as many as 300 bluecoats, Capt. Oyster is hopeful of convincing the appropriations committee that the District of Columbia has grown to| @ point requiring more men for po-| lice protection than it now has. With a population of more than 437,000, the National Capitol has a police department of 924 men. When the higher officers are eliminated there remain about 850 patrolmen. | By subtracting the men on speclal de- tails the number left for street patrol duty fs still further reduced. Then divide the patrol force into day, night and intermediate “tricks” of duty and you find a comparatively small force of patrolmen on the streets at one time. It Commissioner estimate of 300 men should b granted, there would be approx- imately 1,100 patrolmen. The Com- missioner ‘is confident that such a re- cement would produce a re- ble result in the handling of traftic and in the prevention and de- tection of crime. The ease with which vehicular traffic was kept moving in the busi- ness section during Shrine week by detalling fifty additional patrolmen to the lst precinct demonstrated the necessity for enlarging the force, Capt. Oyster believes While the fire department needs more men, it does not require nearly as many as the police department. With reference to the fire depart- ment. the Commissioner is more con- cerned over getting more motor ap- paratus, so that Chief Watson will have a few reserve engines to put into service when the regular ones are laid up for repairs. At the present time the chief has to put antiquated horse-drawn engines in service when the motor engines are disabled.

Va., June 20.— The prosecution in the Logan “armed march” trials was under instructions when court convened today to be prepared to submit to the defense a bill of particulars in the case against William Blizzard, sub-district presi- dent of the United Mine Workers, charged with being an accessory to murder in connection with the kill- ing of George Munsy during the miners’ march in 1921. The bill of particulars was re- quested after Judge S. H. Sharp had overruled a defense motion to quash the indictment. The request was op- posed by the prosecution. on the ground that to give the information asked would be placing in the hands of the defense the state’s proof of its charges. MAN ASKS DIVORCE. Charles E. Ramey Charges Wife With Cruel Treatment. © Charles E. Ramey today asked the District Supreme Court for a limited divorce from his wife; Lilu ‘I’ Raméy, on the ground of cruelty. They were married March 3, 1908 and have three children. The husband tells the court that his wife was unreasonable in her demands to move from place to place, being dissatisfied with each home' that he rented or bought. Once he purchased a place in Virginia and after they had been there a short time Mrs. Ramey, without his knowl- edge, came to Georgetown, where she rented a house, and told him she was moving the household effects there.

June 20.—Re- sist the agitators advising nostrums for fancied ills of the body politic and defend the system of indirect representative democracy, which now tary of War Weeks urged in a com- mencement address at Brown Uni- versity today. The system of government inherited ffom the American forefathers, he said. is being endangered and weak- ened by attempts at change on the part of malcontents and by the political inertia of believers in Amer- ican representative government Lenson of History. Criticizing radicals, who, he said, thought thev could legislate quickly into existence panaceas for the world's ills Secretary Weeks sald “history has fully demonstrated the wisdom of those rather conservative methods and policies which have guid. ed the nation since the days of 1776. One of the most important weapons used by the reformers, he asserted, was the initiative and referendum, which, he declared,, were “either pass ing fancies which are rapidly demon- trating their worthlessness, or they marked the beginning of the end of rep- resentative government.” The initiative and referendum situation was deplorable, Secretary Weeks declared, in that it took gov- ernmental control from the hands of regularly and competently elected representatives of the people and put it in the hands of a mass of people, a large number of whom were poorly Informed on legislation. He illus- trated his point by analyzing amend- ments to various state constitutions, made possible by the system. Criticises Attempts. The cabinet officer roundly criticised attempts to change the procedure of the United States Supreme Court, to stabllize the dollar, to adopt complete | open diplomacy, to effect disarma- ment and to extend the primary sys- tem to the national elections. “Only one kind of disarmament,” he sald, “will ever occur in the world in our generation, or those which fol- low—that is, the universal and sim- | ultaneous disarmament of every world power.” “The number of grotesque results from the action of the initiative and referendum,” he declared, “justify a serious question as to the result of this trend of our government. There is little use for us to elect men to represent us in our legislatures, have them study the important public rroblems demanding solution, expect them to base their course of action on reliable information and render | their decision without prejudice, if we do not intend to abide by their | decisions. s “In our 150 years of national life! the government has met every test and when we turn toward a more | complete democracy I believe we are lessening our ability to govern our- selves and weakening our govern- mental organiation.” COMMISSION IS NAMED.

Despite the urging of parents and friends the twelve men filed from College Hall and declared they would never accept a degree from Amherst Their action is the aftermath of the resignation of President Alexander Meiklejohn yesterday at the request of the trustees. New President Elected. Announcement was made today of the election of Prof. George Daniel Olds as president of Amherst College to succeed Dr. Meiklejohn, who re- signed under protest vesterday. Mr. Olds has been professor of mathematics at_Amherst since 1921. Dr. Meiklejohn resigned vesterday after he had received formal notice from the trustees that they and a majority of the faculty considered it inadvisable for him to continue as the administrative head of the insti- tution, In his letter of resignation Dr. Meiklejohn declined to accept the judgment of the trustees as to the wisdom of the step. He said he was that his withdrawal would be harm- ful rather than helpful. but in view of a certain lack of support he felt compelled to sever his connection with the college. He declined the board's invitation that he continue in the chair of logic and metaphysics. Resignation in Effect Year Hence. The resignation is to take effect in June, 1924, and, meanwhile, accord- ing to the resolution passed by the board, Dr. Meiklejohn will be granted leave of absence. The announcement by George A. Plimpton, chairman of the trustees, came this afternoon at the conclusion of the annual meeting of the hoard. which lasted several hours. This meeting followed a long conference last night of a committee of the trustees with Dr. Meikiejohn regarding his educational policies. which many of the alumni and facul- ty members have come to regard as too liberal in tendency to coincide with the traditions of the college Up until almost midnight small groups of alumni and students of Am- herst College stood about the college grounds discussing the situation which culminated in the r gnation of Meiklejohn, Honorary Degree Postponed. Among the immediate results of the resignation was an agreement en- tered into by the president, George A. Plimpton, chairman of th board } of trustees, and Frederick S. Allig, | secretary of the alumni council, to postpone the granting of an honorary degree to the last named in order that a possibly embarassing situation might not arise at the commencement exer- cises. New lists of honorary degrees were sent out omitting the name of Mr. Allis. Thoe first word of the resignation of the president came from the Am- herst Student, a college publication. which in the same issue carried an editorial criticizing the administra- tion of the board of trustees of the college. Immediately the flag on Johnson Chapel was lowered to half- | mast and the bells in the chapel tower were tolled President Meikeljohn said last night that he had made no plans for the future. —_— RITCHIE TOSPEAK ATTOBACCO RALLY Growers of Five Counties In vite Women to Demon- stration at Marlboro. i | i | | 1 | | Special Dispatch to The Star.
