PLEADS FOR SQUARE DEAL / Asks No Favors From colln:p» of the' Craft,: but Urges Them 'to Be _Careful That They Do Not {Misun derstand Hia Utterances. { By EDWARD B. CLAR'K. ‘Washington.—There is a nejvspaper man President in' the Whitcs House, and the correspondents Yn' this town already have come to a realizing sense of it. , Special correspondents Tiho travs eled ‘with President Harding; during the campaign for . election, jand who camped alongside his front gorch dur- ing the .weeks cZ.the home (stay, told thelr fellow craftsmen that jthey prof- fted by Mr. Harding’s sense: of news values, by his directness off approach toa aubject which had news: possibili- ties fn it and by his keenj apprecia-. tion of the value of a “scoiop,” albejt he tried his best to see to it that, so far as anything he said was' con- cerned, no favorites were plaged in the-“scoop” matter. On the day that the President-elect arrived in ‘Washingtom, just: 24 hours before ‘Ris’ induction Into office, he called the newspaper men tojgether for a little talk. . He outlined the course that he. intended to. pursue, with ref- erence to the\press. He said-that he was a newspaper man Mimself and that he never. .could gct ‘away -from. looking :at things as\ a newspaper man, . weighing t. posgibilities of news values in each cage, and also trying to sense the effect of certain an- nouncements on- the public. Asks. OmOplrlflbn. In/ this talk Mr. Harding asked for . the co-operation of the correspondents in his,work as President. He asked __ this simply and with evident sincerity. He)intimated that he knew all about the press as a molder of public opin- fon, and in direct language he asked that care be taken to Intejrpret aright the meaning which lay within any. presidential pronouncement. In other words, he asked the men who write to be ca:pful that they did not misun- ‘derstand him. A “Mr. Harding asked for no favors from_his colleagues of the craft. He said’herknew. that criticism. must. come /It is something for the press of the country to have a newspaper ‘man ' in the White House, Presidents .who have- not-been: newspaper: men time after tlme-haye had within/their Keep~ ing: information which it would havi been a.good thing-for them to give to the:public, and.which had in it-all the clements . of .news,. apd -yet: it was withheld ‘simply because of the( lack of .appreciation of-the -actual’ vnlues in the case. Mr; Harding knows’news values .and, perhaps as, well 'as Mr., Roosevelt did, he knows.that one chief way o reach the people of the country i through the press. It is the intention of the President to meet the Washington correspond- ents in a body at certain set times.; It is also said to be his intention to give individual correspondents proper Op- portunity: to see him when /the nature| of their errand justifies separate in- terviews. This was the way in the days of the past. Cleveland was not inaccessible. Harrison was inacessl: ble to a considerable extent, but Mc- Kinley and Roosevelt, and Taft during the first part of his administration, al- most always could be seen at pr‘per‘ times, . . May Copy Roosevelt. ~ Harding, being a newspaper man, may pofsibly take a leaf out of the Roosevelt book. As a newspaper pro- prietor and editor, he has a realizing gense that the pages of his own: jour- nal were quickened by the tendency : of Roosevelt to say-things to the peo- ple on any occasion when-he thought he had _something of.real news value, It is sald that Mr. Harding has a keen sense of :appreciation. of the way which Roosevelt sounded out public opinion before committing himself to any line of legislative policy. It may be that Mr. Harding will follow a llke course. All Presidents, of course, have felt that they must have public opinion be- hind: them, but all Presidents have not kpown fust how to find out what- pub- lie opiniop-was in the caSe. Mr. Roose- velt knew by intuition and Mr, Har- ding. pmhnbly knows by training and by precedent. It is nothing short of remarkable how many. workihg newspaper,men the President of the United States knew- by name, and ‘this acquaintance of his goes into a far wider field than that in which stand the men who as correspondents were attached to his ‘headquarters druing the csmpa;gn.

Thinking. It 1s good to read, mark, learn— but it is better to inwardly digest.. It sood to read, better to think—bet- ter/to think one hour than to read ten hours without thinking. Thinking is to reading (if the book read have any- thing in it) what rain and sunshine are to the seed cast into the ground the “influence which maketh:t" bear- and bring forth, thirty, forty, an hun- dredfold. - To, read is to gather into the bafn or storghouse of the mind; to think is to.cast seed corn into_the ground “to make It productive. . To | read is to collect information; to think is to evolve power. To ynd,h to lay a burden on the back; but to think 15 -to give to the feet swiftness, and the hands strength. Yet we have a thousand or ten\ thousand readers for one thinker, as the kind of books sought after in circulating libraries bears_witness, ANCIENT TALE OF CHHTION According to. the chlpyewl Legend, Menaboshu Was the Originator of All Things, % \’Accordlng to the 'legend of the ‘pewa Indians, Menaboshu was creator of all things. He avowed one day that he would make the earth. He rounded the)soil between his pow- erful hands until it grew into a great ball, . Then Menaboshu mixed. water with ‘the soil to form mud, and be- sides, molded it about a great rock, when, behold—a still larger ball; says Gershom Crane in she Boston Tran: script. Menaboshu .then undertook: to devise the living things which .dwell on the earth, . The. first bear escaped from its maker, leaped to the earth and -bounded straightaway: across the North American continent. But the |nnd ‘where the spr@wllng bear’s huge paws struck the earth was still so fresh and. soft. that . they left deep tracks. Thes} deep mnrks quickly . filled with water, Scarcely had the fright- ened bear bounded away when the lakes—Superior, Michigan, Huron, Ontarlo and Erie—appeared, full to the brim. They are as old-| as the first bear’s tracks. The creator now hasténed to makb rain. At sight of the water filling the lakes he began to fear lest the. soil again fall in a heap; and he caused the rain to fall from the sky so._long that the lakes overflowed to- ward Erle, the track of the foot which struck first and settled under the bear's weight much lower than the others—the water, on its way to the sen\drom)ed abruptly from Ontario into Erle.
