WAsBiNDTON— With ah eye p
ro the fntnre. -when they "
hope to see a woman riding
down Pennsylvania avenue at the
head of an inaugural parade, mem
bers of the National Woman's
Party and the National League of
Women Voters are hoping “Ma"
Ferguson of Texas and ‘Our Nell''
Boss of Wyoming will come to
Washington to participate in the
Cnolidge inauguration on March 4
Although both are Democrats, as
visiting chief executives of sover
eign states they would be accorded
places in the inaugural parade.
And as the tirst women ever to
lie elected to such high office it is
tell that their participation in the
ceremonies would place the whole
status of women, as possible future
contenders for the presidency, in a
new and more favorable light.
THE (ournalistic classic of the
campaign came the day after
the election
It disclosed once and lor all the
real reason behind the Coolidge
landslide
And it revealed as the prize
picker of presidents, by his own
oonfessiori. none other than Colonel
George Brinion Harvey ex-Demo
crat. c.t-Ambassador to Great
Britain
f The -Washington newspaper
which Harvey now edits took no
less than nine .-olunins of type to
tell how George., when calamity
faced the party -.of his adoption,
and the Democratic-Progressive
assault seemed certain to sweep
j Cnolidge from power, plunged his
| pen into the ink and saved the day
with his battleory of "Coolidge or
Chaos.”
"Colonel Harvey." says the ac
count, “with one bold and illumina
ting stroke, disclosed to the dis
tracted people the sole, vital, tiara

ANEW wrinkle in court proc*
Cure was demonstrated by
Manuel Herrick, former
"daredevil of Congress” from
Oklahoma, when he appeared in
court as his own attorney in his
suit asking $50,000 damages tr
eatise Miss Ethelyn Chrane, his
former secretary, refused to marry
him. ,
Technically, it was a breach of
promise case, but the judge ruled
only evidence could be admitted
bearing on the extent, if any, to
which Herrick' had been “dam
aged "
As attorney. Herrick propound
ed questions to himself. As client
he answered them.
Although enjoined as an indi
vidual trom Speaking to Miss
Chrane. or in any way annoying
her, as attorney for plaintiff Her
rick he was able to put her
through cross-examination.
SiTVTHAT is your name?” At
\\ torney Herrick a-skdt
himself as Plaintiff tier
rick took his seat in the witness
chair
"My name is Manuel Herrick
and 1 am from Oklahoma." was
the reply
Herrick then proceeded to item
, ize the amount of damages he had
sustained. He included $15,000 he
would have received as salary had
he been re-elected to Congress.
Difficulties concerning his be
trothal. he said, were responsible
fcr his losing the election.
The other $35,000, he said, was
about a proper amount for the loss
•>f the defendant’s “love and affec
tion, and whatever home-making
qualities might have had."

Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead

is a new medical discovery with twofold ac

Os all known drugs, creosote is recog
nized by the medical fraternity as the
greater healing agency for the treatment of
chronic coughs and colds and other forms
of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion
contains, in addition to creosote, other
healing elements which soothe and heal the
inflamed membranes and stop the irritation

on lo the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and
destroys the germs that lead to consump

Whir AMERICAN SUM'S bo NOT
PAT. V
Youth’s Companion.
We mean of course American ships in
the foreign trade; our coastwise commerce
is by law restricted to American ships,
and some of them pay well; but in com- ■
petition With other mercantile marines—
espeeiaHy the British—American ships do
not usually pay. Even the government,
which is relieved from some of the ex
lienses of the private shipowner must
meet, runs the great fleet of the Shipping
Board at a deficit of almost $50.000.0tm a
year. Something like thirty-seven per
cent, of our foreign trade is pow carried
in American bottoms. We have oi- <yield
easily supply enough ships to double that
percentage. We do not do it simply be
cause,. generally speaking, American ship
property is not remunerative.
Why is that so? Most persons will
tell you that it is because jit costs so much
more to build ships in this country, and
because the law obliges simpoWners to pay
wages that eat up all t» profits. That
is not true. It is doubtful whether on
the whole an American-built ship of the
ordinary cargo-carrying kind need cost
much more than a British-built ship:
certainly the difference is not prohibitive.
Wages are higher onNAmerican ships,
but tile wages form less than one-fifth of
the cost of running a ship. President
Farrell of the I nited States Steel Cor
poration says that the difference in wages
does pot amount to more than two per
| cent, of the whole cost. Captain Dollar,
one of the few Americans who have made
money in shipping, says it isn’t wages
that makes it hard to build ufi a success
ful merchant, navy. Certain regulations
that govern the measure of the tonnage
and the consequent dues and canal tolls
collected thereon, certain expensive re
quirements in the boiler inspection la\V
and the clause in the tariff bill that ob
liges- the ship-owner to pay a fifty-per
cent. duty on all repairs made in foreign
ports arc probably even more burdeusmne
than the higher scale of wages for fore
castle hands.
Finally, there arc silent influences that
are all the time working to the disadvant
age of the American slii{Kiwrier as com
pared with his British rival. The wide
spread British Empire afftl tile still more
widespread British commercial organiza
tion furnish the British shipowner with
trade "relations arid personal friendships
in all parts of the world. One own ship
owners have nothing like such support.
British capital has long been invested in
ship property, and British bankers and
investors arc always ready to put money
into shipping at moderate rates of inter
lost. Ameiican bankers and investors
emphatically arc not. British merchants
and Manufacturers are trained to. stipu
late—when they liave the {lower —that
the commodities in which they deal shall
lie shipped in British bottoms. Few
American shippers ever think of insist
ing that their goods mine or go in Am
erican ships. Then too the British ship*
are more numerous, so that they can of
fer more frequent sailings, and usually
they are faster and consequently can de
liver a cargo more quickly.
There arc, you see, enough reasons why
American ships fail to make money. Some
of them eoifld lie easily met by more lib
eral government regulations, hut others
'could not. The only tiling that could
inakc our commercial navy really pros
perous would be a general effort, intelli
gently begun and persistently carried ori
through the years by the government, the
shipowners and the merchants acting to
gether. Whenever we arc enough in ear
nest about the task it will not be beyond
our powers.
Bus Lines Overdone?
Cleveland I'lain Dealer.
Nothing could better illustrate the prog
ress lately made in the field of bus trans
portation than tin' fact that nearly ltit 10
new lines have storied operation this
year. They have bought more than 5.400
busses at a mi st of approximately 530,-
000.000 arid the end of the development
is nowhere in sight.
But it would be a mistake to assume
that all of the companies lately organized
to engage in bus transportation will prove
successful. They may be. but the his
tory of new transportation enterprises is
against the assumption.
If one may judge by the mistakes of
the early canal and railroad promoter*
nearly, a century ago. bus lines are now
being established well in advance of the
demand for their services, competing
transportation agencies are establishing
themselves in fields where but a single
service can profitably be maintained.
The truck and bus doubtless have es
tablished for themselves a permuneut
place as common carriers, blit it is not
yet clear that they will lie able to drive
their competitors from the field, either in
passenger or freight tvansportaih. The
number of new lines being established
and the keen competition thatopis devel
oped among them in so many .sections of
the country is ati indication that we shall
presently hear either of extensive consol
idations in the motor transport field or
the failure of some of the less efficient
companies.
