II there Is one man, more than
another, who had to do with
foisting Governor Harding onto

rival publisher, led him there. or
whether he expected Harding would
stay put. Harding, II will be re-
membered, was for mud roads dur
Ing the campaign, and that suited
Pierce. So, because Harding was
against progress in road building
and because Pierce had bitter hatred
of Ed. Meredith, growing out OF bust
ness rivalry, perhaps--as Pierce 10
small enough for that-he was doub.
ly interested In Harding's success.
Today Pierce Is showing up Hard
ing to miserable advantage. He Is pub
fishing letters. private correspond
ence, received by Harding. 1t Is
shown that railroad and other In
terests contributed many Thousands
Of dollars to Harding. for which he
was to make no public accounting.
1t is shown that Harding. contrary
to law, asked for and received for
his friends, railroad passes. There 10
more to come, Pierce says, but
enough has been published to forever
relieve Harding from public conf
dence.
When Harding appears in . bad
enough light, a great many people
will wonder where Pierce comes In
an a light bearer. He turned all his
resources, in the campaign he now
sheds light on, over to Harding.
Harding played both ends Of the
game in that campaign. 1t has been
shown that ne was wet and dry; Tor
both good roads and for mud roads,
for anything and everything that
would get vote. He played for the
farmer vote and for the vote or the
city boosters. He played for the
vets and for the drys. Men knew
that in the campaign. II Pierce did
not know II he was the only man
id,ntified with the campaign that
did not--and Pierce Is not TOOL;
perhaps there is not shrewder man
In the state on corrupt things; ne
seems to sense them. or smell them.
Yet, he hammered away for Harding
until the last vote was counted.
And people will want to know how
Pierce came by Harding's private
correspondence. He could hardly
come by 1t honestly. Somebody stois
it. Perhaps he thinks he is liberated
from the charge of receipt OF stolen
goods. by the good he is doing. Bu
that is far-fetched and nothing that
would ease the conscience or the
average person. Harding can't be
discredited more than he has been.
belated expose by Pierce will not
place him more in the red.

SPRING IN THE CITY.

Spring came running thru the city,
Ere the morn heard the beat
or her feet on snow heaps gritty
And the mucky, silent street:
Felt her radiant smile of pity.
Heard her voice. exultant, sweet.
Only three men at the dawning
Saw the bright girl goddess come:
A policeman, bored and yawning;
A reporter. going home.
And q beggar. tattered, fawnins.
For an instant awed and dumb.
From asar and family blowing
Came q soft-voiced little breeze,
And II spoke Of rivers flowing
And OF froglets singing glees:
OF million green things growing
And Of young leaves or. the trees.
Then the blacklist OF nights hours
Was no longer cold and still,
For the breath OF summer showers
Drove away the graveyard chill
With the smell OF waking flowers
And the old, remembered thrill.
Till It seemed that clearer, higher
We could hear bluebird sing.
We forgot the snow, the mire
And the winters lash and sting,
For the east was filled with fire
And We knew that II was spring.
