SEN. HARDING TALKS
AMERICANlSM At
new YORK MEETING

New York, Jan. 6-Nationality Is
the soul OF Americanist and the re-
public has never failed humanity or
civilization" Senator
Harding of Ohio, candidate for the
Republican nomination for President,
declared tonight in an address on
"Americanism" before the Ohio So
ciety Of New York.
I'VE have been tardy about it," he
said, like when we were proclaim
ing democracy and neutrality while
we ignored our national reports but
the ultimate and helpful part We
played in the great war will be the
pride of the American so long as the
world recites the story. t
I'VE did not mean to hold aloof, we
choose no isolation, we shun no duty.
! like to rejoice in an American con-
science and in a big conception Of
our obligations to liberty, justice
and civilization. But have conf
dence in our America that requires
no council Of foreign powers to point
the way to American duty. We ar
rogate to ourselves the keeping of
the American conscience and every
conception Of our moral obligations.
1T is fine to idealize; but it is very
practical to make sure our own
house is in perfect order before we
attempt the miracle of old world
Sterilization"
In direct reference to the league of
nations the Senator said that the
plea that ratification Of the treaty
| would make us normal was that OF
| the patent medicine fakir whose
one remedy marvelously will cure
every ill.," Formal peace would help.
he said, and he would gladly speed
the day. IF we sacrifice nothing
vitality American
I have come to think it is funda-
mentally and periodically American
to say there isn't room anywhere in
these United States for any one who
breaches the destruction of the gov
eminent which is within the consti-
tuition" Senator Harding said. 1.-THE
worst disloyalists and most effective
conspirators wear the garb of full
f1edged American citizenship. The
ignorant foreigner is more a victim
than consiprator. Agitator and
'revolutionist reached his sympathies
while the captains of American in
dustry were counting dividends
without concern for the human Gle
ment in their making.
In mos: instances the American
who invited and enlisted foreign ac-
tivities to swell the man power Of in
dustry have neglected to teach the
American language, failed to utter
American sympathies, forgot to ex-
tend American fellowship and omit :
ted the revealment of the loftier
ideals of American citizenship The
grind of the workshop alone is poor
culture for that citizenship which
makes the ideal republic.
I'VE need practicable Americanism
In business as well as procla lined
Americanism in politics. Capital
makes possible what labor produces
and neither ever achieved without
the other and both of them together
never wrought a success without
genius and management: No one of
them. through the power of great
wealth. the force of knowledge, or
the might of great numbers, is above
the law. and no noe of them shall
dominate free people,"

Baby's Footprint
at Birth a Sure
Identification

system Of taking footprints OF chill
dren has been adopted in the New York
Nursery and Child's Hospital to prevent
infants born there from going TO the
wrong mothers. It's adoption was due
10 the fact that a soldiers wife who
recently gave birth to baby in that
hospital at first denied that the child
was hers. The young mother. who had
been reading stories Of accidental sub
stitution Of children at hospitals and
similar public institutions, declined 20
nurse the baby.
We brought all the proofs we could
iinster," explained the superintendent,
but the mother persisted in her hallu-
ctnation. She became hysterical with
grief and fright. Finally. brought
her our records which showed that only
little coiored baby and her own had
been born in the hospital that day
convinced her, but just think of what
would, have happened to that poor
woman If other white babies had been
born here on the same day."
In order to avoid a similar experience
the superintendent engaged q finger
print expert to instruct the head nurse
in trying the system on the babies. 1--WE
found we couldn't get good prints Of
their hands, said the official. "Their
