INTRODUGING NEW HEAD OF COUNTRY (Continued from First Page.) old-school practitioner, The new President's mother has been dead many years and his father is remar- ried. Young Harding attended college at Tberia, O., and then tried school teaching for a year before he began his newspaper career. Always a partisan and a Republican, he lost his job as a reporter by wearing in the presence of his Democratic Editor a “Blaine hat,” the stove-pipe which was a badge of support of James G. Blaine. Always Progressive Although it was a pioneer news- paper age, Mr. Harding’s mind ran to progressive notions even in the day wnen the Star still was a liability, He broke his first partner over the ques- tion of installing a telephone in the newspaper office, a proposal which the partner held to be impractical, ex- travagant and revolutionary. Although he retains a controlling financial in- terest in the Star, now a successful newspaper. Mr. Hardinw will occupy but a titular relationship to it during his Presidency. Three times before he has held public office. He served in the Ohio legislature and as lieutenant gover- nor of the state, and six years ago he was elected to the United -States sen- ate where he became a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. In 1916 he was a chairman of the Republican national convention. Weighs 210 Pounds In personal appearance the new President Is a man to attract a second look in any crowd, He carries his two bundred and ten pounds without a hint of obesity, although he is not six feet tall; and. his massive features round out an impression of force and distinction. His hair is iron grey—- aimo silver grey—making sharp contr with the unusually heavy black eyebrows that almost mask a pair of calm grey eyes. It is only in repose that his face takes on the as- pect of severity seen so 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 slow], but he gives the impression of polished deliberaton rather than of over-caution or abashment. He is a good conversationalist and a ood listener, and has_a, faculty of getting through embarrassing situations with litle show rrassment. Not G t Orator As an orator -Mr, Harding never has rated himself as witty or cloguent, though he attained considerable suc- ces a few years ago on the chautauqua platform. He seidom attempts fine word pictures or humorous passages, but cultivates @ deliberate, unem- bellished utterance. He ne the impression of tilted dignity. He iikes to'know men well enough o’ call them by - their first names and to slap them on the back when he meets them. He likes to shake hands and make conversa- tion about the weather and the crops, i and when he does he usually lapses into the vernacular of an Ohio coun- tryman. Has Good Disposition is Mr. Harding’'s affability It made for officials close to him has some of their hardest problems, He never likes to refuse an audience or to beats | that ; And there may be several reasons why they never quote the price of sausage on the hoof. the Bergdoll case the fact that he investigaticn of will doubtles reveal wasn't a poor man The general opinion seems to be that America wiil be ready for a naval holiday in about three years. The prophet is without honor, per- haps, but it is well to remember that honor isn't without profit.

The Kkaiser once said: Germany's future is on the water.” He may now move to amend by adding the word wagon The swarm of office seckers will cnable Mr. Harding to understand | how the doughboy felt about cooties.

He has been a member of the Elk and Moose fraternities for years, and since his election to the Presi- dency has become a thirty-second de- gree Mason and a Shriner. Golf is his favorite recreation and he likes to fish but does not hunt. He plays hard, and possesses the faculty of putting all his worries out of his mind during vacation hours. Of all the presidents, Mr. Harding's close friends liken him most often to McKinly, with whoem he has in comon a predoindte passion for obliteration of class and sectional lines. COMMUNICATED Editor of the Herald: ‘Will you please use the following: The many unfortunate ones that are still out of work, as well as those on short time, are bemoaning their fate, and longing for the return of the good old times again. To those people let us say: Keep up good cheer, and a stiff upper lip, the City of Rome was not built in a day, it takes time to do anything— and it may be a long one, before this trouble that now exists all over the country, will be cleaned up, but rest assured that brighter days are before us, and are sure to come sooner or later. The entire country is upside down, and a long time may elapse before it is again in its normal condition. Many, perhaps, with large families, have had a hard struggle this winter. to keep the wolf from their door, but such is life, what can't be cured must be endured, and we must be content with what God, who does all things well, gives us. During the past year or two, skilled workmen have demanded very high wages, and every opportunity was be- fore them to lay by a good sum to meet any emergencies that were likely to come most any old time. Their money came easy, and no doubt, with some, went easy, without any forethought of the - future. This reminds us of that other fellow, after his horse had been stolen h locked the stable door. With a littfe forethought he would, no doubt, be a horse in. While many of the manufacturcrs in the surrounding towns and cities have closed, or nearly so, their fac- tories for an indefinite length of time, those of the Hardware City, that are ever thoughtful for the good and welfare of their employes, have operated their plants a great deal of the time with the full quota number ‘of hours, in order to keep their em- to work, but as the prospects bette: docsn’t seem to who | i H brighten up much, the majority of them have, in order to protect them- selves, decided to operate thelr plants for the present, on shorter hours. We are in nopes that before the robins nest again that this stagnation in business that has wrought so much havoc the country over, will be near- ing #s end, and how happy the hun- dreds of people in this city that have beerd without work many months , will be when they will againsbe al- lowed to resume their places in the factories. Jo¥ and happiness will then reign, and all will be merry as a marriage bell. G. H. GRIMES PROMIN!
