HARDING URGES
SIMPLE LIVING
TO CURE ILLS
Calls For Sanity And
Clear Thinking In AT
ter-War Period

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 18.-Plain
living and square dealing were in
voked by Pres-Elect Harding in a
speech here today, as the nations
strongest reliances during the coming
period of after-war readiustments.
"Sanity, clear thinking, common
sense, honesty and cooperation"
were among the qualities he named
as the prime necessities in meeting
the demands of the new world order.
He declared material interests and
national happiness both would benefit
if the United States became "sim-
pie living reuple once again.
The president-elect predicted
confident America" would solve it's
new problems on the simple basis of
old time crtues and would come
through the reconstruction period
stronger and more dependable than
ever.
President-Elect Harding's speech,
delivered at a luncheon of the New
Orleans Association of Commerce, al
so contained message of assurance
for the industrial development of the
South and an expression of hope that
the times of commercial cooperation
with Latin-America be strengthened
by every possible means. His ad-
dress was part of his five-hour visit to
New Orleans before the president
elect was to leave for voyage to
the Panama Canal zone.
New Orleans and Louisiana re-
ceived Harding with open arms. Gov
ernor Parker and Mayor Behrman
met him at Baton Rouge and accom-
panied him until he left this city.
In his first speech at the City Hall.
Harding expressed his gratitude for
the reception and declared one of his
fondest ambitions was to see the ma
ton where sectionalism was COM
pletely forgotten.
Harding will not stop at a Mexi-
can port on his voyage to the Canal
zone, as he has been urged to do by
Mexican officials. No official an
nouncement was made by Harding or
those who arrived with him today,
but it is understood he found it I'M
possible to arrange for a call at the
Mexican port without seriously dis
rupting the schedule of the shipping
company.

BOSTON, Nov. 18. - More than
eight hundred members of the Bos-
ton policemen's union voted unani-
mously last night to instruct the of
ficers of the union to surrender it's

ions" leading to the strike of 1919
have in many ways been remedied
and efforts are being made at all
times to improve them"

Ut was the Boston police strike,
which he broke last winter, that

national figure.)

Short In u. S. Court

ROME, Nov. l8.-Although he
swore that the bag of corks found
at his home near the city limits drop
ped from the attic while the ceiling
was being repaired and that the emp
ty TASKS which were being washed
when federal officers raided his home
short time ago were under the house
when he moved into it and the jugs
of whisky found buried in corner
were not his, jury in the United
States district court in session here
yesterday took only a few minutes
to return a verdict of guilt against
F. G. Burlington, of this city, and
Judge Sibley imposed a fine of $3.50,
which was promptly paid.
Another peculiar case heard yester-
day was that of DR. A. w Findley, of
Rome, former Floyd county mem
Der of the legislature and for long
time practicing physician at Cave
Spring, who had heretofore, accord
ing to a crowd of witnesses, borne a
good reputation The doctor plead
guilty, but his attorney introduced
many character witnesses, including
Judge Nunnally of the city court;
Solicitor General Porter, W. H. Ennis,
ex-solicitor general, Solicitor Kelley,
of the City court, and a number from
Cave Spring. The extenuating cir
cumstances alleged by the defendant
was that he was Of kindyl, genial dis
position and when friends asked him
for whisky they got it, at the regular
price. Of course Officers whom the
doctor had never seen, however,
swore that they, too, had bought whis-
ky from him on several occasions,
also at the regular price. His SEN
tence was to pay fine of $3.50 or
serve two years in the penitentiary

Order Cancellations

BOSTON, Nov. 18.-Cancellations

letter to Boston Boot adm Shoe Club
today.
''It is not always possible for men
to meet these obligations" Cover
nor Coolidge wrote. ''No one can
complain of that, but there seems
to be a great tendency to avoid OBJ
legations that could be met, with a
result which is demoralizing to ev-
erybody."
