HARD1NG's ADDRESS.
Upon Converting of Congress Presi-
dent-elect Speaks From Vice
Presidents ROstrum.

Presidents KOStrum.
At the opening Of the short session
of the sixty-sixth congress on Mon
day President-elcct Harding set a
precedent by delivering an address to
the senate. He spoke as follows:
II am pleased at this greeting by
fellow members Of the senate. There
is still greater satisfaction having
this opportunity to say to you in
formally some Of the things in my
heart which I could utter in no other
way. recognize that am here today
under somewhat unusual circum-
stances and there is delicacy about
it that one in my position cannot cs-
cape except through some form of
self-cffacement, which does not seem
quite possible.
"No member of this body could be
more reluctant to leave it. I may
say to this senate that I came here
with very high respect for this body,
and I am leaving it with greater re-
spect than that with which I came.
If one could always direct his own
political fortunes to his liking should
have preferred my membership here
to any office citizen may hold in this
republic or elsewhere in the world.
II like the freedom, the association,
the patriotic sense of responsibility
which congress holds under our con-
stitution, and particularly the obliga-
lions of the senate. When my re-
sponsibilities begin IN the executive
capacity I shall be as mindful Of the
senate's responsibilities as I have been
Jealous Of them as member, but |
mean, at the same time, to be just as
insistent about the responsibilities Of
the executive. Our governmental
good fortune does not lie in any sur
render at the end of the avenue, but
in the coordination and cooperation
which becomes the two in a great and
truly representative government.
lIlS DI11lSS ulc W CIlc 'Ll1Ou$AC Pal :"
ticularly in mind. Something has been
said about the senatorial oligarchy'.
Of course every one here knows that
to be bit Of highly imaginative and
harmless fiction. But I do recognize
how essential is the helpfulness of the
senate in the making of a successful
administration.
II want to express today the wish of
a colleague for the confidence and the
cooperation of the members of this
body in the four years which begin
next March 4. do not limit this sin
cere request to this side Of the aisle.
One cannot promise agreement in all
things with an opposite party which is
sometimes mistakenly wrong, but we
may find common ground in the spirit
of service, and I hope for that agree
able and courteous and ofttimes help
full relationship with the opposite side
which has added to tthe delights of fell
low service during the past six years.

High School News Budget.

The plucky seniors have co-operated
and are trying to get out an annual
for the school. It is an expensive prof.
ect, but if enough subscriptions are
sold, it will cost the individual about
So. This is the first annual since 1910.
Each class has representative who is
to write for his class. The person who
is the representative has plenty of
work to do, but is excused from all
outside written work in English.
We hope more of the senior pupils
will come to blows in their efforts to
prove Hamlet's sanity or insanity.
The sophomore sewing pupils have
been making textile experiments to
determine the true value Of different
pieces of cloth.
The freshmen class entertained the
juniors at party on Friday night.
The evening was pleasantly spent in
various ways.
Sewing class II will have it's blouses,
dresses, etc, on exhibition on the even
ing of December 10. This promises
to be an interesting exhibit.
The girls,.basketball team left here
on Friday night for Elk River where
it played the Elk River girls. It was
a close game, the score being 10 to !
in favor of Elk River.
The boys basketball team will have
it's first game of the season on Deem
Der 10 with Elk River. It is Of course
expected that Princeton will win.
The English III classes are now
studying Macbeth. Most of the pupils
have professed liking for the story
and when asked why by Miss Allen,
the answer was, Because it is full Of
action and is very interesting" There
are some prospects Of next months
marks being raised in English since
when we take up something interest
ing the pupils are more apt to study
harder and therefore have better les
sons.
The basketball boys are progressing
rapidly under Mr.. Rogers supervision.

The Women Have 1t.

Too Many Weak Banks.

The closing of few small banks in
North Dakota is not considered ca
lamity in that state, judging by a
letter the Journal-Press received from
one of the leading and successful bank
ers of the Missouri section, who
writes: "About dozen or fifteen
banks have gone broke, more will go
soon. They should have closed up a
year ago-nothing back Of them" The
wedding out Of the weak institutions
with insufficient capital and located
where there is at least only specu-
lative chance of doing business, will
be of benefit to thte banks that have
right to exist. Starting country banks
has been overdone, not only in North
Dakota, but in other states. There is
no sense in having two or three weak
banks in town that can support only
one.-St. Cloud Journal-Press.

commissioners of Benton and Morri-

the matter of building a permanent
highway between St. Cloud and Little
Falls. Both bodies approved the bond
issues, had the highway surveyed and
plans prepared-and then quit. Had
the road been built last year or this
the people would have had the benefit
of this road and the state highway
commissioner would have paid the
bonds. 1t may be two or three years
before this stretch of highway is
paved, and the BLESSINGS" of the

With the women voting this year, a
new element is injected into the state
primaries, and the results In many Of
the contests will be largely governed by
it. The men will divide into their po-
litical camps. and some OF the women
will divide in like manner, but it is
reckoned that, for the beginning at
principle will appeal to the woman
voter. and she will have the balance OF
power. ..
The rush OF women on the first reg :
istry day indicated that they are going
to exercise their citizenship In New
Jersey and are going to the polls strong
in numbers.
As the general election approaches,
the states sentiment for the Republi :
can presidential candidate seems to be
crystallizing and spreading. Senator
Harding is stronger In New Jersey now
than he has been at any time since his
nomination. Some of this sentiment
Is, no doubt. due to the activities of
State Chairman Il. G.. Stokes and the
Republican campaign workers, but a
lot more is due to the daily developing
weaknesses of Governor Cox.

Within a few days II 10 expected that
Governor Edwards will give his de-
cision on the charges of Jersey City
against the State Public Utility Com
mission in the attempt Of that munici-
pality TO oust the present commits
sioners because Of their alleged favor
itism to public utility concerns by
granting nearly every demand for in,
creased rates. It is generally expected
that the governors decision will oust
the present board and II is also believed
that he will Immediately appoint new
commission that will not be 30 favorable
to the utility corporations.
The Legislature when IL meets on No
vember s, may attempt to take away
the governors power of appointing this
board and vest II In the hands OF the
lawmakers or the state courts. The
chances are that IL the governor fires the
utilities commissioners they will stay

ernor's choice will be allowed to func-
ton Just as his State Highway Com
mission is now functioning despite Re-
publican threats TO kill Its confirmation
BY the Senate.

At the afternoon session OF the annual

economic stability of the country re
auires that the rewards in farming must

Mr.. johnson asserted that labor lead

had been supported by the national ad-
ministration.

He made an appeal for spiritual

Mr.. johnson said:
"Since the war government interter'
