Harding Praises Crane
As Wise Public Serua7,t

MARION, Ohio, Oct 2-Senator
Harding issued the following state
ment to-day when told Of the death of
W. Murray Crane:
81 am greatly distressed to learn of
the passing of Mr.. Crane. He was
deeply concerned about our country's
welfare. He was wise in advice, he
was intensely interested in the Repub-
lican party and believed it to be the
best agency of popular government.
He was fine example of the thought
full, earnest, conscientious public serv-
ant whose zeal was as earnest as his
methods were lacking in ostentation.
Now that he is gone, his friends ought
to reveal to the world his splendid
generosities and benegactions, which
he always cloaked in accordance with
his retiring nature"

the prevention by police power Of home

practicable.
This is tacitly admitted to GER

they depend on their campaign against

This is an interesting speculation.
1t is a bit confusing to the unpre-

prohibition movement was in the pro-

drinking alcohol was an insidious and
tenacious habit. If once man got in
the habit of drinking liquor, we were
told, he would do almost anything to

therefore justified in lawlessness. II

effort to develop the mineral re-
sources of the Pend d'Oreille region.
His residence for upwards of 80 years
was one of the most picturesque in
