An End To Truce On The Coolidge Administration Battle of Oppu>iiij! Aspirant* for Republican Presidential Nomination Is <111 W itli Capitalization of Prolii - bitinii and Farmer Discontent Issues !??? DAVID I.AWHKNCK C?fyr??M II]] kf Oallr Washington, Oct. 15.?Politics is no longer "adjourned" so far as attack on the administration of President Coolidge is con cerned. The battle of opposing aspirants for the Republican presidential nomination has begun. Two months having elupsed, since the new President took of- j fice, the opposition in his owni pacjty has come, first, from the, elements which hope to make an; issue of the discontent of the farmers and second from the groups who believe the admin istration isn't sufficiently "dry" on the {irohibition question. Henry For<P? "broadside of criti cism against Secretary \Veeks for selling the Gorges plant at Muscle Shoals to the Alabama Powi-r Com pany, an act which President Cool Idge has defended, is in line with the cry of the American farm bureau for five cent fertilizer, which Ford op eration of the nitrogen plant was to have obtained. Governor Clifford- Plnchot's vehe ment denunciation of the policy of the Federal administration with re spect to enforcement of the prohibi tion laws Is partly presidential poli tics and partly prohibition campaign ing To understand the l'lnchot speech, in which he calls on the I-Vderal Government to put down liquor in surrections and as*l?t states to cope with municipal problems of "enforce ment, and to get a clear idea also of what William Jennings liryun is driving at when he calls on the President and the members of the cabinet to take the pledge as tctotal lers as an example to the nation, one must know what is really going on in the Treasury Department. First of alV it may appear to the layman as strange that anybody should be attacking the CoolIdue ad ministration for lack of effectiveness In enforcing prohibition when Hoy Haynert, the Federal prohibition com missioner who has charge of en forcement is absolutely satisfactory to tiie Anti-Saloon League. He may be dalb'd .fanatical in bis views by opponents, but the "dry*" think lie Is sincere and capable. Then why all the fusw? The truth of the mat ter, Is Mr. Haynes Im a subordinate of the Secretary of th?- Treasury An drew M. Mellon of I'ittsburgh. Penn sylvania. And Mr. Mellon is credit ed with having "wet" sympathies. The whispers in Anti-Saloon League circles for many months have been to the effect that Hoy Haynes, pro hibition commissioner. Is being ham pered at? every turn b> ofTieial red tape and the obstruction of Secre tary Mellon. The late President Harding was aware of this situation and to satls ty.% the "drys" he dealt direct with Mr: Haynes. Incidentally Secretary Mellon wasn't offended by this indl ? faction and too!; no active part lii ? opposing the "drys.1' since Mr. C66I Idge came into office, the "drys" have feared the new President would listen to the Secretary of the Treas ury rather than Mr. Haynes. The President has several times con ferred with Mr. Haynoa and has ar ranged through him the program of the governors conference here next Saturday oh prohibition. Mr. Haynes spoke In behalf of the President last Saturday and assured the citizenship conference that Mr. Cooildge was as sincere In his nttltude toward law enforcement as was President Hard ing and of course the latter, by bin Denver speech,- won th ehearts of all drys. He advocated the giving up of stocks of liquor even though law fully acquired and later on he per mitted newspaper correspondents to t< II the? public Hint In* hiiiisi if had cased taking even tin* occasional drink which in recent yi am In* would t.iki- after a golf game. Inside thi' ranks ol the "dry*" the ili: satisfaction with Mr. Coolidue's silence oil IIm* prohibition iiucyllitii lias been (liscoiio-rlinc. They want liIin to take th?' same active part in enforcement that President Harding idld. cjovernor Pinchot comes from I Mr. Mellon's own Plate. If Mr. Pin |C|iot has presidential aspiration* he | must win the delegates from his own I state. In. this In* And* the powerful hand of Secretory Mellon lined up auainst him. The shrewd leaders of the dry movement know this and ac tually *?*t in motion a citizenship conference at which Governor I'ln cliot is not only chosen to preside hut Is given a chance 4o-make an at tack on President Coolidge'* admin istration which he couldn't very i well make at the governor's confer jence next Saturday at the White i House, where the visiting governors will !;?? pi rsonal as well n.s official !guest*. Mr. Pinchot is' used to I smoke out Mr. Coolidge or rather to build a Are under him so that next Saturday Mr. Coolidge will say the words t!i: ' the dr> s want said hv the head "f the nation. Furthermoi^e. Mr/ Coolld;:c conies from the wet I state of Massachusetts where the battle for the Anal enactment of a state law to enforce the eighteenth amendment of the Federal Constitu tion still rage*. A petition can hold up the preient law for a referendum vote and the dry* feel that Mr. Cool idge'* snpport In his own state will help them a lot there. Former Governor H'enr.v J. Allen of Kansas thinks the Coolidge ml liilni*; ration has done its best on prohibition enforcement and lias pre pared a reply tu Governor I'lncliot. Hi' calls attention to the fact that If the Pennsylvania governor cannot cope with officials ofimfhlcipallties that refuse to obey the law lie can remove deliniiueat officers. He re calls his own experience in remov ing mayors in Kansas. Mr. Allen is being looked upon as probable candidate for the vice presidency with President Coolidge nt the head of the ticket. His cham pionship of the Coolidge administra tion is in line with previously an j nounr. d supiuurt. He comes from the West and tjje New Knglnnd con tinue^ in Congress backing Mr. Coolidge want a Westerner as a run ning mate. Mr. Allen would also be acceptable to the Kastcrn Republi cans who have frequently heard him 1 talk at convention}* of bankers and oilier commercial bodies. As for the Henry Ford attack, it was not unexpected. The farm bloc knows the power of publicity In the 'name of Henry Ford and also the |uses to which his advocacy of lower i prices for fertilizer can be put. I Whatever might be thought .of. Jhix Muscle Shoals transaction and i whether it can or can not produce five cents fertilizer, it must be agreed that Henry Ford has raised a troublesome issue for the eampaign. Farm discontent In the West and prohibition in the East, will liven liiiuga up between now and tin- two nominating conventions and maybe after that.

Lot Of Honey Bee Is Very Hard One Women Have It K**y In < omparLnon, Smjs ItouktvpiiiK Kanut Raleigh, Oct. 15.?In this day of modern conveniences and step-saving devices the lot of the common honey bee is a hard one in comparison with that of any other housekeeper who works during the summer to con servo food for winter use. according to C L. Sams, specialist in beekeep ing for North Carolina State College and the Department or Agriruture. Mr. Sams said totljy that he had br??u moved to do (tome figuring on ac count of the demands being made by rural women that their men fix up water works and other convenionces in the farm homes. "Of course,*' said .Mr. Sam*. "these rural women are aUii il and abetted by another group or Extension Service workers. Mrs. i.lane S. McKintmon and her corps of . home, agents. but I wish to present case of th?* honey bee. which also Is a feminine housekeeper and one whose efficiency has never been doubted." j. To gathor one pound of honey, de ctared Mr. Sams, the bee has to trav el 4 3.77 6 miles. ?'Been generally gather nectar from flowers in a radius of from two to ; two and a half miles from the apiary (hive)." said Mr. Sams in (beginning ! an explanation of the process of de-j duction by which he arrived at the estimate of the distance a bee has to 1 travel to gather a pound of honey. "Most of it is gathered within a two I mile limit, and so we could state! with reasonable accuracy that the av-| crape flight in gathering a drop of honey would easily be three-fourts of a mile. Hut the bee has to go to tie- r'owei-s probibly search around a\?l?r i?' I return with the load. Tills treMii* that the little housekeep-' < r must fly at least one and one-half in?!???? f??r each drop of nectar. "!? tak?-s en* half gallon of raw :iect;ir to make one pound of llni*h* d honrv. The bee carries one ??mull drop at inch load. There are r.s.Hfis drops of water in one gillon. It tak? s one half of thi?. or 29.1H4 drops or be loads to make the pound of honey. Therefore. !f thy hcjfe has to fly one mile and a half for each drop, this shows that the little worker must fly ^3.776 miles for each pound of the delicacy." At the same time the bee carries nectar, said Mr. Sams. It carries water and pollen for rearing the i young brood. N'or do they ever grumble at their lot." he added, but work quickly and tirelesrly without .requiring the man to do any work, and they keep the household well .pnavJded. fJUufood_ a_nd_ the quarters comfortable at all t*im*e??r LLOYD GROUGE PLEADS FOK AMERICAN HELP Minneapolis.
