honestly. He Is standing for principles in
which he believes and is using all his force to

subordinates who have largely relieved him OF
the business cares incidental to publishing.
While in the fraternity OF the newspaper
business Senator Harding and myself have
much In common and while ] hold for him
personally high esteem. when II comes to
political thoughts we are as far apart as tho
poles. Nor Is this merely a matter OF partisan

and certainly through a lifelong training

no one can mistake wherein we differ.

other leadership, that Of Charles King, and |
have no doubt that there could be found those in
our community to-day who would tell you that
to him and chiefly to him is due that prosperity
and that il anything ever happens to him there
must come end to the enterprise.
So it goes, in enterprises big and little, even
unto the sailing Of the ship of state. There Is
always somewhere-e either in the steerage Of
the vessel or in the obscurty OF the works
a man, who, once clothed with that magical
mantle of responsibility, will rise on the wings
Of vision to heights Of power unknown before.
II there Is a single meaning in the Presidency
it is this: That spiritual majesty will clothe
its occupant and grace him with attributes that
nhere not In the man, but in the office. but
which, being In the office, must be so newt
ably expressed through the man that the world
may feel and know that he Is conscious OF the
temporary nature OF his tenancy, and is. there
FORE doubly Jealous to guard and preserve the
august power which only symbolizes the col
lective veal Of all the people.
1t Is good to believe. and | do believe. that

to be the supreme example Of representative
democracy and orderly liberty by which human.

sense and in this sense alone can our govern

is with US as a nation just 1t is with us
individuals that our first and best service to
others be found In making of our own lives
and our own ways profitable and a desirable
example. And In the face OF what has been so
widely said OF late about world Ideals prefer
to hold up this ideal for America.
Each Of us has his little circle OF life;
whether 1t be on farm or in village or city. In
their main essentials, as they concern the pro
cesses Of government, these circles are very
much alike. Ours is a normal land OF normal
men and women, striving to pursue normal
ways Of life and happiness and finding. we
thank God. greater sum OF happiness and com.
fort than is found in any other land on earth
All of this we wish to preserve and amplify
To do that the mutually OF interest and the
necessary harmony Of purpose. II we are TO go
on, must>lie In conference. In council in the
concord Of many minds, in the vision OF plural
leadership merely symbolized for purposes OF
convenience in Presidency. Behind all this
must lie the never failing righteousness OF In.

To Ward Off Summer
Complexion Ills

To keep the face smooth, white and
beautiful all summer, there's nothing
quite so good as ordinary mercolized
wax. Discolored or freckled skin, so
common at this season, is gently, grad
ually absorbed by the wax and replaced
by the newer, fresher skin beneath.
The face exhibits no trace of the wax,
which is applied at bedtime and wash
ed off mornings. Greasy creams, pow
ders and rouges, on the other hand,
are apt to appear more conspicuous
than usual these days Of excessive
perspiration. Just get an ounce of
mercolized wax at any drugstore and
use 1t like cold cream. This will help
any skin at once and in a week or so
the complexion will look remarkably
clear, young and healthy.-Advertise-

A search for the cause led to the
