The coal strike simmers away, President Colidge quietly refraining from interfering, despite pressure brought to bear on the White House from afflicted sections of the country. enator Copeland of New York and several Democrats in the House have lintroduced measures varying from de- | mands that the President do some- thing about it to plans for Govern- ment seizure and operation of the mines. The Senate and House refuse to consider the proposals, however, and there is talk among political writ- ers that the inaction of the adminis- tration regarding settlement of the strike may be used politically by the Democrats in the next congressional elections. The District committee of the Sen- ate has been empowered by vote of the Senate to conduct an investigation with ers to determine whether or not they have been since the strike necessitated the use of that fuel.

The United States Alr Mail, the first experiment in commercial aviation in this country and one of the notable successes 1n the history of aviation, is to be onla i and its routes ex tended to cover greater portions of the country.

From Rio Ruenos Aires. In land ing at Rio the seaplane was slightly damaged by the press of boats which | dashed out to meet the aviators. Politics Newspapers carried the report last week that Charles Evans Hughes is definitely out of public life and that from now on he will confine his en- ergies to the practice of law. If cor- rect, the announcement is interesting and significant, in that Mr. Hughes has been mentioned as a possible can didate_for the United States Senate from New York, and even as the pos- sible nominee for President by the next Republican convention. Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland will run for a_third consecutive term aszovernor of the State rather than accept the unopposed nomination of the Democratic party fe United States Senator. His announcement to that effect in Baltimore last week is one of the most recent outstanding political developments. Gov. Ritchie’s name is heard often in connection with the possible Democratic nominee in the next campaign. A third term as Governor of Maryland would give him added prestige as an avail able candidate. Gov. Ritchie has be come a leading,_ exponent of State rights and freeddm from interference by the Federal Government. He is 1 to the Volstead law as a enforcement measure and is considered very “liberal,” if not “wet.” where the liquor problem is concerned State Religion Luther Burbank, noted plant nat- uralist, took the pulpit of the First Congregational Church in San Fran- cisco last week and “nominated” him- welf an infidel. He chose the word, aid. as a challenge to for “those who are asleep,” declar- ing that the word is harmless if prop- erly used, but bears a stigma heaped upon it by those “who associate It with the bogle devil and his malictous works.” Burbank said his philosophy of life is one of love, that the religion of most people {s what they want to believe, not what they actually be- lieve, and declared that “the idea of a good God who would send people to a burning hell is utterly damnable to me.” He asked that the Bible be read as other books are read, with “judg- ment and reason.” He characterized Christ as “an infidel, opposing prevail- ing creeds.” In his triennial charge to the clergy Freeman, Bishop of Washington, de- clared last week that world peace as a mighty moral issue and the “brazen license” of modern social tendencies are the two great problems of the day { to which the forces of Christianity must address themselves. The voice of Christianity must be heard, he said, to achieve the goal of a world brother- hood in which peace can abide. Congress The Senate agriculture committee ast week reported favorably on the resolution to appoint a joint congres- sional commission to negotiate bids for Muscle Shoals. The House com- | mittee has approved a similar meas- ure. The Regular Army appropriation bill, carrying $339,381,000, an increase of more than $1,000,000 over budget estimates, and ' providing for an Army of 11,749 officers and 118,583 enlisted men, was reported to the House last weel 5 TWO LIQUOR RAIDS MADE.
