President-Elect Harding showed his
great respect for that body nj which
he has been such a hard worker.
Won't he be better President be-
cause he has been SENATOR" asked
Jack
Exactly, Jack In all those things
which keep the wheels of our Govern
ment moving, the President and Con-
gress must be the last ones to decide.
If they do not work together the coun-
try must suffer. If they do work to-
gether and consult each other, then
the country will receive the best from
both. Because the next President has
been nthe Senate he understands the
ways in which the Senate must work
and naturally when he sits in the
Presidential chair he will be equipped
in the best possible way to bring about
peace and harmony and complete un-
Outstanding.
Now, another thing, kiddies. So
long as Senator Harding has been in
the United States Senate he has al
ways insisted that the rights of the
Senate should be recognized. He still
thinks so, but in his speech he also
showed that he is going to insist that
the rights of the President also be
kept in mind at all times. With such a
view of the situation we should have
one of the best Presidents the country
has ever known. And if any of the
enemies of Republicanism think they
can continue to talk of the Senate
oligarchy,' of which Gov. Cox talked
SO much during the campaign, they
are going to be disappointed, because
Senator Harding will not let the next
administration be controlled by the
Senate. He wants the Senate to help
him as he will help the Senate, but he
does not want the Senate to control
the White House any more than he
will try to control the Senate"
did Senator Harding talk with
President Wilson while he was In
Washington" asked Ruth.
'No, Ruth, he did not, but it was
not our next Presidents fault. Just
before he reached Washington the
newspaper men were told by the
White House that the President would
be glad to see the next President Nat
urally Senator Harding saw this in
the papers but he did not receive
direct invitation from the President.
He didn't ignore the matter, but went
more than half way and left his card
at the White House on his way to the
station to take the train for home. A
conference between the two men
would have been interesting but We
could hardly expect the President to
invite Mr.. Harding to see him when
he didn't even send him the slightest
message of congratulations when he
was elected by the largest vote ever
cast for President"

Busy Days For President Elect
Harding.

What is Senator Harding doing
these days." sked Ruth as she and
her brother Jack were walking along
with Uncle Ted.
These are mighty busy days for
our next President" was Uncle Ted's
reply. "You see he has only ybeen
back home for short time after his
vacation in Texas and Panama and his
trip to Washington for the opening
session of Congress. His two day stay
in the National Capital was a mighty
busy time for him, as he not only at
tended the opening session of the Sen
ate, where he made a mighty fine
speech, but he was busy every minute
talking to the various big Senators
and other men who will help him run
this country on a businesslike basis
for the next four years at least.
"And want to tell you kiddies, the
newspaper men in Washington are
mighty fond of Senator Harding, and
| that means a whole lot. He talks to
them Just as one of them, for, as
have told you before. he is a news
paper man himself While waiting at
the Capitol in Washington on Manday,
December 6, he talked to them and
told many funny things about his ex-
periences when he was struggling
with his paper in Marion, Ohio, long,
long before he even thought of being
a Senator, and certainly long before
he ever dreamed of being President"
Whom did he talk to at the Capt.
tol?" asked Jack.
He talked with all the Republican
leaders in the Senate. Speaker Gilleett
of the House of Representatives call
ed, too, as did the British Ambassador.
Sir Auckland Geddes In fact there
was a steady stream of callers con-
graduating the next President and
comforting with him regarding impor-
tant matters"
Can you tell us about what he said
in his speech at the Senate?' asked
Ruth.
well. certainly by this time you
have read his speech. The only thing
can do is explain what his speech
meant to me and what it should mean
! to all of us. In the first place we must
remember that this is the first time
that United States Senator has been
elected President. which is not only
what might be called an unusual hap
/ pening but one which is step for
ward and 1 nthe right direction. All
Of us have seen what a man can do
In the Presidential chair who has not
had the training in the big low-mak-
ing body of the country and who, be-
cause of that and stubborn will, re-
fused that cooperation with Congress
so vitality necessary If the best is to be
accomplished for the country as a
whole. In his speech in the Senate

Don't do what?" was Mr.. Turtle
testy reply.

pleaded. You'll have me in the watei

But Timothy Turtle paid no atten'

If Fatty Coon was frightened before
now he was terrified almost out of his
wits. And he began TO claw frantically
at Timothy Turtles head.
Luckily he had three free paws.And
of these he made good use. In the
shadows near the bank he struggled
with all his might and main. And soon
the water was churned into muddy
pool.
Fatty never knew exactly how he
succeeded in breaking loose from Mr..
Turtle. Anyhow he found himself free
at last; and he lost no time in scramb-
ling up the bank to safety.

Now, FATTY did not leave Black

a time, to squat on the bank and
nurse his injured paw.
While he fingered there he hap
pened to glance up. And whom
