Vice President Coolidge
Silent on Newberry
Case.
Although Vice President Coolidge
repeated many of the exploded claims
of economy by spokesmen of the
Harding administration in his Brook
lyn speech, he was painfully silent on
one of the most notable achievements
of the present administration—the
seating of Senator Truman H. New
berry in a purchased seat. Nor did
the vice president refer to the fact
that during the long drawn-out and
bitter controversy over the Newberry
case he remained silent Although
the presiding officer of the senate,
neither by word or act did he attempt
to keep the senate uncontaminated
and unsullied by opposing Senator
Newberry. His silence naturally
created remarks here at the capital,
and doubtless at home, because Mr.
Coolidge entered politics as a re
former and a purifying agent. Still,
a public offical who can see “an al
most incredible achievement in econ
omy” through the constant increase
of the ordinary expenses of govern
ment ought to be able to construe the
seating of Newberry as a triumph for
the force of civic purity and right
eousness.
President Asked to With
draw Name of Mrs. Up
ton’s Husband.
Except for the vigilance of Senator
Pomerene, who finds time from his
weighty and onerous duties to safe
guard the minor interests of his con
stituents, the appointment of George
W. Upton, of Ohio, to be a member of
the Federal Trade Commission would
probably have been promptly con
firmed. Senator Pomerene’s objection
to the confirmation of Mr. Upton on
the ground that he has no qualifica
tion for the place and that he was
named solely because he is the hus
band of Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton,
the woman leader of the national Re
publican organization, has been sus
tained by the senate committee on
interstate commerce, which has asked
President Harding to withdraw Mr.
Upton’s name.
It would seem that one of the eas
iest jobs of Republican politicians is
to “put over” bad or weak appoint
ments upon our good-natured presi
dent. This fact has been illustrated
in his appointments in the diplomatic
service, which have been branded in
some quarters as a disgrace and' many
of which have been denounced by his
own party press. Aside from George
Harvey and Henry Lincoln Johnson,
probably the worst of the president’s
appointees taken by and large were
some of the henchmen of Senator
Newberry, who were given some of
the most prominent federal positions
in the state of Michigan.
In the meantime, the discrimination
against ex-service men in the appoint
ment of postmasters continues, while
spokesmen for the administration con
tinue to laud it for alleged preference
for ex-service men. The latest cases
of this kind' came up last week, where
after protest from the Tennessee
senators, five postmaster nominees in
that state who had been given pref
erence over former service men were
all confirmed.

He: Black and blue, I suppose.
EVEN MOSES FAILED.
“Some of the laws you have helped to
frame have not been rigidly observed.”
“I’m not complaining,” replied Sen
ator Sorghum. “Even Moses could not
insure a strict enforcement of so sim
ple and explicit a set of rules as the
Ten Commandments.” — Washington

Abe Martin “said a mouthful!” when
he remarked:
“Joe Lark bought a pair o’ shoes
t’day with some money he had left
from th’ Wilson administration.”
NEW JERSEY UNIONISTS
WILL ENTER PRIMARIES
Trenton, N. J., April 7.—Officers
of the State Federation of Labor have
changed the date of the annual con
vention so that it will come before
the primary elections.
The unionists have issued a protest
against the anti-labor policy of the
last legislature, and political knives
are being sharpened to use on these
lawmakers at the forth-coming pri
maries, when it is declared many of
them will be shoved into the private
citizen list.
