Kling Harding, widow of President Hard- ing recalls an incident of especial interest to Wyomingites. President Harding and his party visited Cheyenne on the journey that was terminated by the presi- dent’s death. Here they were wel- comed by the governor ‘of the state. One of the most interesting photographs made on that occa- sion shows the president, Mrs. Harding and Governor Ross en- gaged in conversation. None other appears in the picture. Who of those who saw that photograph while it was still of “news inter- est,’? coaceived that In little more than a year all of the principles therein would be dead? Mrs. Harding was, when that photograph was taken, the fore- most figure of the nation, Who then would have conceived that the shadow of death lay unseen upon that little group was pro- phetic of a Cheyenne woman be- coming foremost in public inter- est in America?

LONDON, Nov, 22.--Prohibition of the manufacture and sale of alco- holic liquors will not promote temp- erance, and social problems are not solved by drastic measures which “destroy the freedom. and radical temperance of the majority of the people.” This was the declaration of Liutenant Colonel L. 0. Anfery, new secretary for the colonies in a specch at Birmingham yesterday, outlining the attitude of the conserv- ative administration toward certain Ucensing problems. ‘The government and the consery- ative party of Great Britain, he safd, are not in favor of prohibition and they“are convinced in their attitude by ‘the experience of the United States. The experience of the United States had shown them that even if they could rise to the pitch of a national decree abolishing the pro. duction of aleoholic liquors, they did not promote real temperance or ap- prouch any nearer to the solution of their problems. The colonial secretary asserted that his party was opposed to the drastic measure of destroying the freedom and real, temperance of the majority of the people of Great Britain as a whole or depriving them of it in a selected place. The real solution of the temperance question lay in the school and home training, in self restraint and in the members of the liquor trade {mprov- fing the social standard of their houses. Mrs. L. E.
