DISAPPOINTED WITH HARDING

The Rev. DR.. Henry A. Stimson,
pastor emeritus Of the Manhattan
Congregational church in New York,
is one of the best known clergymen in
the country. He was pastor Of lead.
ing churches in the west before he
went to New York.
In letter to the New York Times
he describes himself as a lifelong
Republican. Americans who lived
through the last six years." he writes,
with something of the spirit with
which, when the time came, we gave
ourselves, with our sons and our
daughters in response to the call for
a supreme sacrifice In France, cannot
but read with heavy heart Senator
Harding's formal and carefully
weighed utterances."
The New York Tribune has been
trying to clear the senator from the
fatal praise of Senator Johnson, loud
est aud fiercest of the foes of the
treaty and the League of Nations in
any form whatever. But the Tribune
does not impose on DR.. Stimson. Ev-
en- without the ruinous praise of "Hi'
Johnson, the doctor sees clearly
enough the hollowness OF Senator
Harding's words about the League OF
Nations. Following is part of his
letter:
When the treaty has been accepted
even by Turkey, and the league,
which is its enacting clause, has been
going concern signed by every ma
tiOn, big and little, except the United
States, Mexico, and possibly one small
South American country, and all
America is waiting for one clear word
iat home on this vital question Of the
world, what do we have but the dec
laration that the senatorial bill for
peace by resolution, II re-introduced,
will be promptly signed by the presi-
II elected? A proposition
that was the laughing stock of the
country, received by the public as the
last attempt at camoufiage. now trot
ted out In Dolly Warden dress of
fine words and possible approval Of
my advisers" The country has not
been treated with Simple things said
in such solemn way" in presidential
utterance since the days of President
Buchanan. The worlds sympathy
has long been asked for him who
leans upon reed that breaks and
pierces his hand. We have not even
the reed. Here Is staff all pith; 1t
will not wound, 1t simply receives and
betrays. AS lifelong Republican,
can at this stage but grieve and
speak.
This IL the impression made by
Senator Harding upon Republican
of intelligence, principle and con
science, who Is not blinded by partl
sanship and who recognizes u higher
ideal In political life than fighting
president Wilson" No man who
wants to see peace preserved and the
United States discharging its obliga
ti0n to itself as well as to the world
can afford to vote for Mr.. Harding.

The Ncminee-By a Man.


Warren G. Harding is SIS years old
and was born in Blooming Grove, o..
the son Of a country doctor and the
eldest Of eight childfen. Harding
lived the life of a farmer during his
boyhood and attended the rural
schools, earning his way through
Ohio Central College.
He worked at various trades to send
himself through college, one summer
painting barns, the next driving a
truck and a third year teaching school
at the ago Of II.
But it was the print shop that at
traeted young Harding most He
learned the printing trade from top
to bottom and in 1884 took over the
management of the Marion CO.. Star
from his father who had moved from
Blooming Grove. The paper was a
greater liability than it was as an
asset, and it was tough shedding"
for several years.
Harding was all things in the paper
office from printer to managing edi-
tor.
Harding married, in 1891, to Miss
Florence King, daughter Of Amos
King, a business man Of Marion
They have no children.
harding entered politics in 1899,
serving in the state senate from that
year until 1908. He became Lieu
tcnant-goyernor in 1903 and served
until 1906.
Although he obtained the nomi-
nation easily, Harding was defeated
in a race for governor on the Re-
publican ticket in 1910 The Ohio
voters sent him to the United States
Senate in 1914 with a mapority of
more than 100000 despite the fact
that in the same year Ohio passed to
the Democratic column.
In the Senate Harding was an
active worker for the preparedness
program. He was member of the
foreign relations committee Of the
Senate.
While a great deal Of Harding's
business experience was as publisher
Of The Star, he is identified with a
number of large business enterprises
and member Of the board. of direc-
tors Of several of them He is a bank
director and a trustee of the Trinity
Baptist Church of which he is a reg
ular attendant.

THE NOMINEE AND HIS WIFE

gowned members 81 Mrs. Fred Up
hams box party Mrs. Harding was
oddly suggestive Of a sparrow among
q flock of peaeocks. She is lovely in
a delicate fragile way; her skin is
the clear, creamy color Of porcelain
and her hair, grey at the temples, is
shining oaken brown.
But she just misses being stylish;
little touches--a high, white net collar
cha day when low necks were worn,
chamoisette gloves instead of silk
oncs-conspire to put her in the spar-
row class.
Other women in the party wore
navy wolfe dresses, as did Mrs. Hard
ing, but hers was worn with no touch
of frivolity; only little platinum
bar pin furnished oranmentation and
that failed to perch at the stylish
angle upon her ccrsage
But, however, much the chamoisette
gloves lacked style, there was about
them another quality which intrigued
the mind; suggestion Of home and
substantiability They we're begin
ming to wear at the fingers and they
were soiled where, all through the
broiling day, they had gripped a stub
by, womanish pencil and a tattered
score sheet.
The woman, whose first thought
was that her husband might need her,
had taken upon herself the task Of
keeping count Of his votes; noting
his gains and losses as the weary
hours milled by.
Her profile is youthful, but Mrs.
Harding's face is marked by middle
age. Muscles will sag within the
next few years, the blue eyes which
look so fearlessly into your own are
aided by glasses.
The profile is intellectual; the eyes
analytical. But the lips are infinitely
sensitive. They droop just bit; they
are the lips whose sympathy twists at
will for the troubles of others.
Sympathy for Others troubles
stumbled over the very heels of joy
in her husbands triumph this aft
ernoon, as her next remark proved:
Il am so sorry for the other cam
didates and their wives; they're put
up splendid fight, too, you see, and
how disappointed they will be.
81 am glad it's over the campaign
ing and the convention. Now we can
go home and rest. 1t will mean so
much to him; he loves his home"
That apparently, is the keynote Of
her disposition--the little, inconspicu-
Gus woman who may become the lit
tie lady Of the White House.
Friends who have known her since
girlhood say that her life is filled
with just two interests home and
husband-and that she manages one
and adores the ohter. One of them
explained:
'Mrs. Harding says that her part
in her husbands career is keeping him
well-fed and we'll groomed. She says
that such things can be done better
by mans wife than by any one on
earth, not excepting the man, him.
self, and that doing them well gives
the wife an equal share in any glory
which may shine down upon the hus-
bands head"
Then the friend told about the beau
tiful, peaceful home in Ohio; about
the wide verandas and big pleasant
rooms, shadowy in summer, but open
/ to the, sunshine in winter.
She told about one of Senator Hard
ing's likings and about much pleasure
it gives his wife.
He is very fond of breakfast sau-
sage the friend said, particularly

NeW York, October l6.-George White chairman of the democratic national com. mittee, in statement here today de. ciared he could visualize Senator Hard ing shaking in his shoes" because of hls speech at Indianapolis last night.

 What effect the Indianapolis, wohhIe niayNhaVe on Senators Johnson and Borah must be seen," said Mir White. q for one give Johnson and Borah this credit that they are sincere in their opposition to the league and will not accept wink of the other eye.

 On that issue of the league or no league the campaign will besfought out ana decided. Let him wiggie or let him wobble, he spoke his real sentiments once. and he will not be permitted to es- cape the consequences of them.
 The Indianapolis statement is ridicu. ious, because there can be no such asso- citation as Mir. Harding speaks of. We snail not be permitted by the thirty-nine league members to pick it to pieces. Arr tlcie aA of the covenant alone prevents consideration of this proposed bush league.'" :"

5000 TONS COAL

Montgomery. October. 16.---fSpecialD ) Five thousand tons of coal was mined and made available for distribution by the state fuel administration during the week, according to reports re- ceived by Fuel Administrator Harwell c. Davis Saturday. Directions for the transportation of the coal to sections of Alabama which need it have already been issued and the movement will start early in the week.
 The fuel administrator is gathering evidence about coal supplies needs and prices in all counties and it is be- lieved he will be able to publish the list Of fair prices within two weeks He has received large number of re- quests for coal from coal dealers which has led some persons to believe that the dealers have countermanded their orders for coal at the mines in the hope of obtaining supplies from the fuel administrator at prices less than those they are now paying at the mines. The fuel administration does not propose to give first consideration to dealers in coal but to the institu- tons, public utilities. business and in- dividuals who are actually in need of the fuel
 The fact that 5coo tons of coal was made available last week with the coal district in the middle of strike has caused state officials to believe that within a few weeks the fuel admins traitor will be able to supply all legiti- mate demands for coal. Many dealers are worried now about the margins of profits which will be allowed them by the fuel administration and are appeal irg to MT. Davis to permit them to make a certain amount gross Each dealer claims that unless he can con tinue to obtain the profit which he has received In recent months he will be forced to close his yard. Some dealers have made more than g on every ton O. coal they have handled in many months.

The state de- partment, however. is said to have made representations against the rigidity of the finding on the ground that international comity and law worked to the contrary sond legal review of the net by the department of justice re- suited and the state department again was defeated in its conten- tions, it was said.
 Upon receipt of the Attorney Gen. erafs opinion, said to have been writ ten and signed by Solicitor General Ericsson as acting attorney general Mfr. Shouse amended the customs reg ulations "to require examination of baggage and effects permitted free en- try" into the United States The change made amounted merely to de- letting the words without examina- ton" from the customs regulations but MT Shouse directed attention of SustoiHs oHlcldiS to the distinct de- parture" from prevailing practices. In the order, which was addressed "to all collectors of customs and others concerned" Mir.

 prevailed of waiving examination when admitting effects to free entry, you

 Mir. Sfouse simultaneously sent con
 hdential instructions to the customs
 authorities to remove all liquor stocks
 found in the personal effects of visit
 ing diplomats and hold it for personal
 delivery to a member of the diplomats
 household. This caused particular
 concern among state department off
 ciais who fear that the diplomats will
 oonstruce it as unfriendly. There were
 no signs at the treasury that it would
 change it's stand.
