HARDING'S TALISMAN A PRI]\i TER'S “RULE’ Classifies Self as | Editor and Publisher. New President Is of Dutch and Scotch Ancestry. Whatever else he may be, Warren ! G. Harding, today inaugurated P'resis| dent of the United States, always! classifies himself as an editor. pub- lisher and printer, proud of his pro-! fessional accomplishments and train- | ing. His luck-charm and most sacred; possession is a printer's rule, carried | in his pocket, wherever he goes, and | his close friends say he would rather| an audience to an ambassador. For more than thirty years Mr.| Harding's bread and butter has been earned by the Marion Star. whose re- sponsibilities he assumed under heavy mortgage, and whose early vears he nourished at the expense of going hungry more than once himsclf. Since his nomination for the pre: dency he has faced only onc publict ordeal that aroused emotions he could not master. That was the temporary severance of the ties that bind him to the Star. On election night, when a group of his employes came to con- gratulate him, his voice broke and his big frame was shaken by sobs when he undertook to speak of the separation that' must be the price of his triumph. Elected on Birth Anniversary. Election day was Mr. Harding's| fifty-Afth birthday auniversary, and all the interests of his lifetime had been rooted in the immediate vicinity of Marion. He was born at Blooming Grove, Ohlo, in an adjoining county, the son of a country doctor, George T. Harding, who still visits his pa- tients about Marion in the one-horse carriage of the old-school practition- er. The new President’s mother has been dead for many vears and his father is remarried. Although it was a pioneer news- paper age, Mr. Harding’'s mind ran to progressive notions even in the day when the Star still was a liability. He broke with his first partner over the question of installing a telephone in| the newspaper office, a proposal which the partner held to be impractical, extravagant and revolutionary. Al- though he retains a controlling finan- cial interest in the Star. now a suc- cessful newspaper, Mr. Harding will occupy but a titular relationship to it during his presidency. Three times before he has held public office. He served in the Ohio of the state and six years ago he was elected to the United States Senate. where he became a member of the foreign relations committee. In 1916 he was chairman of the republican national convention. Hin Personal Characterintics. In personal appearance the new President is a man to attract a sec- ond look in any crowd. He carries his 210 pounds without a hint of feet fall: and his massive features | and distinction. His hair is iron gray—almost _silver gray—making sharp contrast with the unusually heavy black eyebrows hat almost mask a pair of calm gray eves. It| 18 only in repose that his face takes on the aspect of severity seen 50 often in his photographs. When he talks or listens the lines are broken by a smile that radiates cordiality President Harding walks slowly. talks slowly and makes up his mind slowly; but he gives the impression of polished deliberation, rather than of overcaution or abashment. He is a good conversationalist and a good listener, and has a faculty of getting little show of embarrasement. As an orator. Mr Hardinz mnever has rated himself v or elo- quent. though he attained consider- | a uccess a few years ago on the ! chautauqua pl 5 seldom at- tempts fine word pictures or humor- passages, but cultivates a de- unembellished utterance. He never gives the impression of stilted dignity. He likes to know men well enough to call them by their first names and to slap them | on the back when he meets them. He likes to shake hands and make conversation about the weather and the crops, and when he does, he usu- ally lapsen into the vernacular of an Ohio countryman. It is Mr. Harding's affability that has made for officials close to him some of their hardest problems. He never likes to refuse an audience or to terminate a conference until his visitor has talked himself out. On his first campaign trip his managers ruled that time and endurance would not permit him to appear at wayside stations, but after the train had whizzed past the first waiting crowd he ordered that a stop be made wherever the people had come out expecting to see him. The new President is unusually fond of children, though he has noni of his own. He i3 a lifelong Bap- tist_and a trustee of his home church in Marion. He has been a member of the Elk and Moose fraternities for vears, and since his election to the presidency has become a thirty-sec ond degree Mason and a Shriner. Golf is his favorite recreation, and he likes to fixh, but does not hunt. He plays hard, and possesses the Likened to McKinley. Of all the Presidents, Mr. Harding's close friends liken him most often ! to McKinley, with whom he has in! common a predominant passion for ob- literation of class and sectional lines. President Iarding was born on his grandfather's farm, where hie father | of Blooming Grove. Morrow county, Ohio, November 2, 1865. He was the cldest” of eight ' children, some of whom have achieved more than or- dinary distinction: one in medicine, s a public school instructor and| as a missionary in a foreign 4. He is the Son of George T. Hard- ing, then the young village doctor, who found no night too dark and fle travel the almost impassable roads of that day to ko to the relief of a suffering patient, however poor and unable to pay for the services rene dered. The Hardings are of good old co- lonial &tock, coming originally from Scotland, settling first in Connectlcut, moving later to the Wyoming val- Pennsylvania, where some of them were massacred ang others fought in the revolutionary war. The mother of Warren, Phoebe Dicker- son, was_descended from an old-time Holland Dutch family, the Van Kirks; 80 that in Warren G. Harding is found the blending of the blood of the hardy Holland Duteh and the I ting a the timber and trans- fearless, alert and liberty-loving Scotch.

Tt was not all toil in those days, and Warren took part in the country and village sports. None better than he loved to haunut the old swimming pool in Whetstone creek. avhich ran nearby, and none could dive deeper of vim farther. He attended the village school until fourteen years of age, when he en- tered the Ohio Central College at Iberia, from which he was graduated, standing high in scholarship, and il was there, as editor of the college pa- per that he first displayed a talent for Journalism. Like most aspiring young men of that age( he was obliged to stop for a time now and then to rn the money with which to pursue his college course. At one time he was cutting corn. At another painting his neightbors’ barns. At still another driving a team and helping to grade the roadbed of the T. & O.

At 0dd times he worked in the little printing office in the village. He seem- ed to love the odor of nyinter's ink and to have a passion for everything pertaining to a newspaper office, even down to the minutest detail of the mechanical equipment.

There has never been a| strike or threatened strike in the Star office. His employes found him always liberal and ever generous, and they love him as a brother. After he had established his paper on a firm ation he organized a stock com- v. distributing shares to each of mployes, and he and they still rding has been closely iden- tified with many large business en- terprises. Since he took over the Marion has grown from a coun- try town of 4,000 inhabitants to a fiourishing manufacturing city of 30.- 000, and he has been a prime factor in this industrial development. He has been a “booster” for every new indus- try which has located there. taking shares of stock in each to the limit of his ability. Because of his recognized es sagacity he has been made ne time or another, a member of the board of directors of most of these enterprises, Jending his counsel and_advice, and in turn gathering much_valuable information concern- ing the difficulties which beset the various lines of industry Has Courage of His Convictionn. President Harding has had the courage of his conviction. even though his stand brought serious op- position. During his career in the Senate he was advocating prepared- ness while others were clamoring for peace at any price. He sponsored the bill for preparedness which had the indorsement of Col. Roosevelt, and he was so closely associated with | nim during Its pendency that it| came to be widely rumored through the press that Col. Roosevelt re-! garded him the coming ‘man of 1920. | This close contact gave each a high | regard for the sincerity and single- ness of purpose of the other in ousing an unsuspocting people to a ! -nse of impending danger in those crucial hours: and this intimacy con- tinued until the lamented death of this most flaming and strenuous ad- vorate of Americanism. Two vears after the schism which | rosulted in turning Ohio into the democratic column in 1912, Senator Harding was elected to the United! States Senate by a majority of more | than 100.000, running 13.000 ahead of the next highest on the ticket. In his case there was a complete ce- | menting of the opposing factions. His selection as chairman of the| national convention soon after he entered the Senate, and without fac- ! tional strife, bore evidence of his high standing in the party through-; out the nation.
