ASSUMING Full REspoNsIBILrry

Prcsidcnt-clcct Harding has found 1t ncccs-
Hary to deny that tle win appoint "a member OF
the opposition party to "A position In his cabinet.
The president elect has let It bc known that for
himself and his party he accepts fun RESPONSE
bility for the conduct OF the government.
This Is wisdom OF the highest order. He has
also let 1t he known that he purposes a govern
ment nonpartisan, nonsectional and nondcn mi
national. II In his intention that the republican
party shall serve. az an agency of intense Amer
icanisn, north and south. east and west, demo-
crat and republican IL will prove itself the
very best friend the south has ever had; not
with the expectation OF meeting the prejudiccs
OF the bloody shirt wavers among the profess
sional politicians OF that section, but actually
serving the substantial business necessities ot
the most wonderfully productive section OF the
republic, wealthy beyond compare In natural
resources.
In announcing that he will cnll only men OF
his own party into his cabinet for the purpose
Of conducting the government. the president
elect does not wish to be understood as planning
a narrow partisan government. quite the con.
trary. Republicans will he clothed with the re-
sponsibility OF administering a lOO-pcr-cent
American government free from partisan In
trigue and narrowncss such as has characterized
the present regime.

RAINY DAY CLOTHES.

copyright, 1920, by Edgar a. Guest.)
Rehind the rainy day there lies
blossoms and birds and sunny skies
The clouds are but "A mantle gray
Designed for Just rainy day.
And as with men who sometimes wear
Harsh raimcnt for their hours of care
And yet beneath each uniform
The kindly hearts continue warm,
So life is fair. despite the gray
And sombrc garment of the day.
We do not ask our friends to be
Always attired In finery.
We tind them garbed to till the soil
In raiment thick with dirt and oil
And sorry sights to look upon,
And yet our love continues on;
We do not look on them In hate
Because their robes are out of date
And torn and shabby. for we know
The hearts beneath with friendship glow.
So when chere comes rainy day
And all above is robcd In gray,
why should we turn away and s.gh
And fear to look upon the sky?
Life still IL fair! The birds and bees,
The blossoms and the lcafy trees
Are ours TO know. and we shall smile
With them through many an afterwhile,
Friendly the day shall still remain
Though dressed in gray 10 suit the rain.
