Harding recalled that at present
there Is a floating indie ebtedness OF
more than $1,000. .0O0.444 and em-
phasized in well considered words the
serious problem of assimilating that
debt" ..
After remarking that a cash bonus
would cost perhaps s2,oO0,0O0, 900 Mr..
Harding said:
Now. with our present Liberty
bonds below par, what would be the
result II we proceeded to issue more
bonds? During war, OF course, the
people of the country laid their all
on the altar of their country just as
the soldiers laid down their lives.
Can we honestly say that conditions
are now the same? IL we did sell
bonds to pay the proposed bonus
and, to meet present conditions,
offered a higher rate of interest than
on our previous Liberty bonds. what
would be the effect on those bonds
outstanding?

"I feel, however, that we should do
the wounded and those in urgent
need. This is only in line with Re-
publican gratitude to those who have
sacrificed for the country. Not a
minute should be lost in aiding these
men.
Il do not think that Congress can
at once make provisions to expedite
the care Of those wounded and ur-
gently needy. provided we can agree
with the spokesman for them on a
plan to effect such relief"
Senator Harding was emphatic in
declaring his support OF the fourfolt
plan, which finally passed the lower
house in the last week the Congress

~ REATNESS and the presidency AB found John Tyler down on one knee, playing "knucks" with his boys in a pathway of his dooryafd in Will liamsburg, that stately old vice-regal village of colonial Virginia. He had not even heard that Harrison was i'll, until destiny, without steam, wire or rail to carry it, sped to him from Wash lngton by boat and buggy with the news that the president had been dead day and that the empty presidential chair was awaiting the vice president.
 Tyler belongs among the third or fourth-rate presidents. Although a clean-handed, kindly man of good pres ence and polished manners, he was mediocre country lawyer and a mar row-minded politician, with a gift for getting offices that he had no gift for filling.
 As John Tyler stepped into the White House, its door closed against the party which had elected him only five months before. Death had turned out the Whigs after 30 days of power and caused a political revolution.
 Clay looked upon the accidental pres ident as only regent for the Harri-

A NDREW JACKSON, the unlet- 4 A tered backwoodsman, treading at the heels of John Quincy Adams, the most cultured in all the line, presents the sharpest contrast to be seen in the procession of presidents.
 The first president born in a log cabin, Jackson could not claim as his own even that lowly dwelling in the North Carolina forest, but entered the world homeless and fatherless. Sprung from poor Irish immigrants, his par ents had been in the country only two years when the father sank into an unmarked grave a few days before Andrews birth, leaving his family without roof or an acre.
 No other among American leaders received from the War of Independence such legacy of bitter memories as it beQueathed to Jackson. That savage struggle between Whig and Tory swept away his brave mother and both of his brothers; scattered his kin -<1red and left him, at fifteen, alone in the world.
 A ragged, rowing waif of the Revo. aution, he grew up as wild as weed. With no hand above him, his high spirits led him into the temptations of
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1920-08-13

his primitive world, whose social standards were 200 years behind the times. Drinking, and carousing, gam bling, cock fighting and horse racing, young Jackson never took a dare, the rustic sport once stalking his horse and his all on a throw of the dice. A bully among rOwdies, he went his roy Stering way along a road that is not to be laid down on the map of conduct as a course to the White House.
 ! As he rose from a chore boy and saddler's apprentice to be a lawyer and judge of the Supreme court of Tennessee, he cast aside the dissipa- tions of his careless youth, but he never lost the spirit of the clansman or Subdued his ungovernable temper A bare catalog of his quarrels and fights is tCG long to be given here. In sTnost of them he was fired with the ~ conviction that he was defending the name Of Lis wife. This had been B brought inro question only by his own . characteristics imprudence, when he fell in love with his landlady's daugh- ter, while she was yet married to an- other, arc when he rashiy wed her without wailing to verify the mere ru- nor that her offended husband had obtained a divorce in a neighbOring state. After two years of welded life, the too nasty couple learned that the woman's first marriage had only just been dissolved and they had to make a spectacle of themselves as they went sthrough another ceremony in order to be united in lawful bonds.
 Because his own impulsive con duct had exposed his honest, devoted wife to the slanderous tongues of the rossips, Jackson was all the more sen ssitive to her sufferings. For sneering sat her over bar one man was stood up at 24 paces and shot to death by the avepging husband. who kept his pistols in perfect condition through 37 years, as Barton says, for anyone who
 dared breathe her name except in honor.
 Even at the sober age of forty-six. Jackson plunged into tavern brawl at Nashville with Thomas H. Benton, afterward the distinguished senator from Missouri, and was shattered for life by two balls and a slug which Benton's brother shot into his back. That was his last personal altercation. In few weeks he was called from his bed of pain te take part in public al- tercation between the United States and Great Britain and, with his arm ais country.

A LTHOUGH William Henry Har- A rison was elected to the presi-. dency as the log cabin candidate, in the first of our frenHied, parading cam paigns, he was born to one of "the first families of Virginia" in manor house on the banks of the aristocratic James. AS son of Benjamin Har- rison, signer of the Declaration, with the blood of Pocahontas in his veins, and as a descendant of Cromwellian colonel who signed the death warrant of a king, no president has had a longer, more historic lineage.
 In ability William Henry Harrison fell below the standard of his prede- cess0rs. He was elected not because he was great statesman or great soldier, but because he was thoroughly representative of the new West, which was fattered to see in the White House for the first time a man created in its own image.
 At Harrlson's inauguration the presidency entered an eclipse and was held for 20 years by secondary characters, who reigned, but did not rule. With men of the eminence of Clay and Webster, Calhoun and Ben

son administration and for the Whig party. Early in the extra session of congress, that impression of the sen ator from Kentucky was sharply cor rected by presidential veto of one of his own biIls-a banking bill.
 The Whigs were wild with rage !; the Democrats filled with glee. The Democratic senators hastened in a body to the White House, where they were batting Tyler on the back while a Whig mob outside in the yard was making a vociferous, but futile pro test. When the next veto came in gether and the members, with one ex- option, agreed to resign.
 The exception was none other than that of the secretary of state, Daniel Webster. "Where am I to go?" the gOd-like Daniel thundered in his be- widerment. Some told him to go to one place. some to another. He held on for two years, until he had con cluded the negotiation of the Ashbur- ton treaty, which fixed the disputed boundary between Maine and Canada, and then he resigned.
 Upon Webster's retirement, Tyler installed in the state department his mentor and idol. John c. Calhoun, and thus completed the overturn. The cabinet was now out and out Demo- cratic and of the pro-slavery brand. Texas had seeded from Mexico, which had abolished slavery, and its American settlers, who were facing the choice, of slave labor or free labor, were anxious to be admitted to the Union. The slave holders of the southern states wanted to expand their power over the vast Texan en- pire as an offset to the rapid eXpan- sion of the free states in the great West. But northern sentiment was opposed.
 At an opportune moment for the annexationists, the ubiquitous John Bull, with his omnipresent gunboat, appeared on the Texan scene as a mediator between Mexicans and Texans. His entry gave the slave in- terests the needed villain for the play, aud the cry went up that we must annex Texas to keep the British from grabbing it.
 Nevertheless the senate rejected overwhelmingly the treaty of annexa- tion. Thereupon Tyler proposed to beat the devil around the stump, and Texas was annexed the last night of the administration by simple joint resolution, rushed through the two houses of congress.

ton, latterly Cass and Houston, Doug las and Davis, Case and Wade, Sew
 ard and Sumner in the senate, dis
 tinctiOn and leadership passed from
 the White House to the capitol. It was an ignoble period in our politics
 when both parties were lodging the irrepressible issue of slavery, and the
 smaller the candidate for president
 the better chance he had to dodge the
 question.
 In the teeth of a piercing northwest
 wind, the old farmer president-elect,
 bareheaded and tlisdaining the protec-
 tion of an overcoat, rode horseback to
 the capitol. After addressing a great crowd that shivered in its shawls and furs, he insisted, though half-frozen,
 on remounting his horse and leading the inaugural parade.
 No sooner was the first Whig presi- : dent in the chair than the claims of
 factions and the clamor for patronage assailed him. Clay had declined
 cabinet honors-and labors-in the
 confident expectation of playing the easier and more powerful role of the
 power behind the throne. The inn perious manner of the, Great Com
 moner wounding the presidential pride, he was requested to make his calls at the White House as infre-
 quent and inconspicuous as he con- {. veniently could. Thereupon his total absence became embarrassingly con- spicuous.
 The one clear mandate of the cleo
 tion of 1S40 was to turn out the Demo- crats and give the jobs to the Whigs. Straightway hungry horde fell upon Harrison and literally devoured him. In a month to a day he was dead of pneumonia, the first president to die in office throughout the more than 50 years of it's existence.
 This briefest of administrations Is
 pathetic little story of a simple, lonely old man, lured from his -arm
 to be the sport of politics. filling in body and married in mind, he was
 without the care and companionship of his good wife, Anna Symmes liar
 rison, daughter of New Jersey colo 1 nel in the Revolution who became | one of the pioneer soldiers of Ohio. Broken by the hard toll of a frontier i household and sorrowing for the loss of eight of her ten children, this wife
 of one president and grandmother of
 another, still was making ready to
 take up her duties as mistress of the
 White House when the news of her
 husbands death came to her.
