Sherman, Jan. 5.—Judge Silas
Hare of the Fifteenth judicial dis-
trict court has informed his friends
that he will be a candidate in the
Democratic primary for re-election to
the position he now holds. Speaking
with reference to the matter, Judge
Hare said:
“I have, during the past several
weeks, been asked concerning my in-
tentions in the premises, but feeling
that it was a little early did not give
a definite answer. However, I have
definitely decided to be a candidate,
and at the Democratic primary will
submit to the people my record as
district judge for their approval or
disapproval.”
As a jurist Judge Hare ranks with
the best in the State. During his in-
cumbency he has had presented to

closed other candidates came forward,
notably Senator Hiram Johnson of
California, Governor Pinchot of Penn-
sylvania and Senator LaFolIette of
(Wisconsin. For the Democratic nomi-
nation there were several probabili-
ties, including Senator Underwood and
William G. McAdoo, avowed candi-
dates, and Senator Ralston of Indiana,
Gov. Al Smith of New York and Gov-
ernor Silzer of New Jersey. There
was much talk of the possible nomi-
nation of Henry Ford by one of the
old parties or by a third party, and
his admirers were exceedingly active.
The Republican national committee,
acceding to the wishes of the Presi-
dent, selected Cleveland as the place
for the national convention of 1924,
and set June 10 as the date for its
opening. Previous action by which the
representation of the southern states
(was reduced was rescinded by the
committee.
Secretary of the Interior Fall retired
from President Harding’s cabinet on
March 4 and was succeeded by Hubert
Work, the latter’s place as postmaster
general being filled by tlie appoint-
ment of Harry S. New. Attorney Gen-
eral Daugherty, against whom im-
peachment charges had been made the
previous year, was fully exonerated
by the house judiciary committee, the
report being adopted by the house on
January 25. Among the appointments
made by President Harding were Rob-
ert Woods Bliss as minister to Swe-
den; Miles Poindexter as ambassador
to Peru; R. M. Tobin as minister to
'the Netherlands; E. T. Sanborn as as-
sociate justice of the Supreme court
of the United States, and Gen. Frank
T. Hines as director of the veterans’
bureau. The latter appointment was
followed by charges of mismanage-
ment, waste, etc., against the former
director, Colonel Forbes, which were
investigated by a senate committee.
Having passed the agricultural cred-
its bill and many acts of lesser im-
portance, and killing the ship-subsidy
bill, the Sixty-seventh congress came
to an end on March 4. The Sixty-
Overshadowing all other events in
the United States was the death of
President Warren G. Harding. He
had long planned a trip through the
Middle and Far West and to Alaska
in order to talk with the people and
get their reactions. Though tired out
and far from well, he started on June
20, accompanied by Mrs. Harding and
several members of his cabinet. After
delivering several Important addresses,
notably one advocating American mem-
bership in the World court, he sailed
to Alaska. Returning thence to San
Francisco, he fell ill there on July 28.
Four days later, on August 2, he
passed away. The taking of his body
back to Washington, the services
there, the trip to Marion, Ohio, and
the interment there of the little town’s
distinguished citizer on August 10
gave the people of the country ample
opportunity to show in what high
esteem and affection they held Mr.
Harding, Literally the entire nation
mourned sincerely, and all the other
nations gave expression to their grief.
Vice President Calvin Coolidge took
the oath of office as President at his
father’s home in Plymouth, Vt., and
assumed his new duties at once, re-
taining the entire Harding cabinet and
announcing that he would carry out
the Harding policies where possible.
It had been taken for granted that
the Republican party would nominate
Mr. Harding in 1924, and Mr. Cool-
idge immediately became a probable
nominee. However, before the year
him some of the most intricate ques-
tions that ever served to confound
and confuse the minds of the legal
fraternity, and it is gratifying to his
friends to know that in practically
every instance his judgment was con-
firmed by the upper courts.

eighth congress met on December 3
And the Republican majority was so
slender that a bloc of so-called pro- I
gressives held the balance of power. 1
Speaker Gillett was re-elected and
President Coolidge then delivered his
first message, in which he declared
himself in favor of American member-
ship in the World court, advocated re-;
duction of taxes and opposed the sol-:
diers’ bonus.
Two governors got into serious
trouble. Walton of Oklahoma, who
said he was fighting the Ku Klux
Klan, came into conflict with the state
legislature and assumed virtually dic-
tatorial powers. Despite his efforts to ;
prevent it, the legislature met in spe- |
cial session, the house impeached him i
on numerous charges and the senate, !
sitting as a trial court, found him
guilty and removed him from his of-
“When a Wise Man Makes a Mistake,
He Learns Something.”
Germany’s internal troubles, politi-
cal, economic and financial, were in-
extricably tangled up with her inter-
national woes and brought her to so
low a state that her regeneration
seemed at times almost hopeless. Roy-
alists, separatists and communists con-
spired, revolted and rioted. Unem-
ployment increased and in the cities
all but the industrial magnates and
the profiteers were reduced to near
starvation, although the crops were
large and the rural districts were over-
running with food stuffs. The govern-
ment tried to meet the situation by
keeping up the flood of paper marks
and of course the mark declined until
I billions could be had for one dollar
and those who had anything to sell
refused to accept the practically
worthless currency. In August Chan-
tion illegal and a failure, insisting
on an impartial reparations inquiry
after the plan suggested by Secretary
of State Hughes, and saying France
must pay enough of the money lent
her to enable Great Britain to pay
America. Again no results, Premier
Poincare declaring Germany must set-
tle the reparations question before
an economic accord could be reached.
Chancellor Stresemann, who had suc-
ceeded Dr. Cuno, announced the aban-
donment of passive resistance and
said no more reparations would be
paid and the treaty of Versailles would
be repudiated. He also put an end
to the aid which the government had
been giving the inhabitants of the oc-
cupied regions. Soon after this the
industrial magnates of the Ruhr and
Rhineland signed a pact with the
French for the resumption of work
and of payments of material.
In December the reparations com-
mission decided to appoint two com-
mittees of experts, one to examine
German money in foreign lands and
the other to try to devise means by
which Germany might balance her
budget and stabilize her finances.
Poincare now seemed in a yielding
mood and President Coolidge an-
nounced he approved of unofficial
American participation through the
selection of Americans as members
of those committees.
Turkey’s diplomatic victory at Lau-
sanne was not easily won. While the
conference there was deadlocked in
January Mustapha Kemal mobilized
armies to move against Constanti-
nople, Mosul and other points and
called three classes to the colors to
combat the Greeks in Thrace. The
quarreling in the peace conference
was incessant. On January 31 the
allies submitted a treaty to the Turks,
demanding its acceptance within four
days. The Turks agreed to sign it if
the economic clauses were reserved
for future settlement. Lord Curzon
departed in a rage, and on February
6 the conference broke up. Diplomatic
conversations continued, however; the
British indicated they would make
concessions, and the conference was
resumed on April 23, Russia being ex-
cluded. On July 24 n treaty was
signed which gave to Turkey nearly
all she had demanded, the question of
oil concessions being left for later
consideration. A few days later the
United States and Turkey signed
treaties of amity and commerce and
on extradition. By October 2 the al-
lied military forces had evacuated
Constantinople and the Turks soon
after took formal possession of their
old capital.
Warfare between Italy and Greece
in the autumn was narrowly averted.
An Italian military commissioner and
his aids were murdered in Albania
and on August 28 Italy demanded that
Greece apologize abjectly and pay
reparations. The Greek reply being
unsatisfactory, the Italians promptly
bombarded and occupied the island of
Corfu. Greece appealed co the League
of Nations, which was disposed to
take up the affair; but Premier Mus-
solini declared Italy would withdraw
from the league and ignore its deci-
sion if it insisted on arbitrating the
dispute. The situation was most em-
barrassing for the league, but the
allied council of ambassadors rescued
it by assuming jurisdiction and order-
ing Greece to comply with Italy’s de-
mands almost in their entirety. Greece
gave in, apologized and paid 50,000,000
lire indemnity, and on September 27
Italy evacuated Corfu.
Mussolini achieved another triumph
by an agreement with Jugo-Slavia
whereby Italy obtained possession of
Fiume.
In January American and British
commissions met in Washington to ne-
gotiate the refunding of the British
war debt to America, and their task
was soon completed to the apparent
satisfaction of both nations. The
Washington treaties on reduction of
armament and concerning the Pacific
were ratified by Italy in February and
by France in July. Through the ef-
forts of an American commission sent
to Mexico, the government of our
neighbor was finally brought to ami-
cable terms and the long-withheld rec-
ognition was accorded by Washington
on August 31.
German reparations and complica
tions resulting from the failure to pay
them occupied much of the attention
of European diplomats. Early in Jan
nary the allied premiers held a futile
conference in Paris, and France pre-
pared for separate action to colleci
from Germany. About the same time
Secretary Hughes announced the Unit-
ed States would not consider Berlin’s
proposal for a four-power European
peace pact and also informally ad-
vised France not to occupy the Ruhr,
France, however, was determined, and
the reparations commission gave her
the opening by declaring Germany in
willful default in coal deliveries. Ger-
many formally protesting and Great
Britain not approving, the French on
January 11 began the occupation of
the Ruhr, seizing its most important
cities one after another. President
Harding expressed his disapproval by
recalling the American troops from
Germany. Chancellor Cuno, with the
support of the reichstag, declared a
“moral war” of passive resistance and
ordered all state employees not to obey
the French. The mine owners and
later the industrial magnates fell in
with this program and for months the
French were balked in their effort,
to get any considerable revenue from
the region. They seized customs, bank
funds and railways, and arrested many
industrial leaders and officials, but the
passive resistance was not broken un-
til late in September. The occupa-
tion was assisted actively by Belgium
and passively by Italy. Great Brit-
ain, though she did not actually ham-
per the French, gave them no help.
On May 2 Germany made a new
reparations offer of $7,500,000,000,
with many conditions, and it was im-
mediately rejected by France. Eng-
land also declared the offer insufficient.
Berlin then asked a new reparations
conference on the total sum and of-
fered annuities of 1,500,000,000 gold
marks. Great Britain invited France
and Italy to join her in a reply to
this, and submitted a draft of her
proposed answer, but this also fell
through. The British government
thereupon sent a note to France and
Belgium declaring the Ruhr occupa-
miles from shore, and in return it was
expected the ship liquor regulation
would be modified. The extension of
the search limit was made necessary
by the activities of the smuggling
fleets which kept the country well sup-
plied with wretched liquor. On May 4
the New York legislature repealed
the state prohibition law. In October
a conference of governors on law en-
forcement was held in Washington,
and President Coolidge pledged the
full aid of the government machinery,
but insisted each state must assume
its own share of the burden.
President Coolidge had the appoint-
ment of one ambassador last year.
Col. George Harvey resigned his post
at the court of St. James 'on October
4 and Frank B. Kellogg was selected
for the place.
Immediately after its summer vaca-
tion the Supreme court rendered an
important decision upholding the laws
of the Pacific coast states which pro-
hibit aliens from owning land. These
laws, of course, are directed against
the Japanese especially.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
With the exception of Germany,
ruined by her own acts, and Japan,
Shattered by the forces of nature, all
the world was better off at the close
of 1923 than at its beginning. This
is especially true of the United States,
Italy, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Tur-
key, and probably Russia, though the
Information coming from the land of
the soviets has been so colored that
it was difficult to determine true con-
ditions there.
Economic recovery of the world was
retarded, as it was during the previ-
ous twelve months, by failure to
settle the matter of the German repa-
rations and by the steady decline of
Germany toward the point of absolute
collapse. The occupation of the Ruhr
by France and the resulting disputes
with Great Britain brought on re-
peated crises each of which seemed
to threaten the final disruption of the
entente cordiale.
Several proposals for commissions
to determine Germany’s capacity to
pay were made, but each of them re-
quired the participation of the United
States and each time the American
government found unacceptable the
restrictions insisted upon by Premier
Poincare of France. As the year
drew toward Its close, however, the
reparations commission was preparing
to appoint two committees of experts
to help work out the problem, and
President Coolidge approved of the ap
pointment of Americans on these com-
mittees.
Turkey gained power and prestige
through the Lausanne peace confer-
ence and the resulting treaties with
the allies and with the United States
Late in the year she added herself tc
the list of republics with Mustapha
Kemal Pasha as her first president.
Under the leadership of General
Primo Rivera and other army officers
and aristocrats, there was a house-
cleaning in Spain that resulted in the
turning out of the crowd of politicians
that had for years been battening on
the spoils of misgovernment. The so-
called democratic government was
overthrown and a dictatorial council
substituted.
President Harding’s death in San
Francisco threw all the United States
—and indeed all the civilized world—
into heartfelt mourning. Vice Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge, succeeding tc
the chief magistracy, carried on in
general the policies of his predecessor.
Mr. Harding hadbeen considered the
certain nominee 9 the Republican
party in 1924, ang his demise threw
open the lists ana made the political
contest intensely interesting.
