Senator and Mrs. Harding on their front porch
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER.

Marion, o.. Nov. 3.-If Warren G.
Harding, now president-elect of the
United States. had only been born in
lob cabin-but he wasn't and any
truthfully intimate story about him
must begin with the bald statement
that he was born in a small frame
house at Blooming Grove. a village
near here. of poor but thrifty parents
his father being a struggling country
doctor who rolled his own pills and
treated horses as well.
The log cabin story was killed by
Harding himself shortly after he was
nominated for the presidency and the
incident reveals more about the man
who is to be the next president of the
United States than could be told in
book. 1t illustrates the absence of
any front" about Harding and his
simple sincerity, one of the outstand-
ing traits of the man.
Just after the Chicago convention
nominated Harding some of his ever
enthusiastic workers started the story
that he was born in a log cabin. It
was getting a good running start when
newspaper correspondents were called
into Harding's office at Washington
one day and given a short typewriter
statement signed by the candidate,
denying in toto the log cabin story.
Il don't like to spoil a good story
for you boys" Harding said in expla-
nation, but the truth is 1 wasn't born
in a log cabin at all. I wish I had
been but alas it was only a frame
house"

fashioned razor, his shirt cuffs are
turned when they get frayed on one
side, and Mrs. Harding herself wears
a hat clear thru the season and some
times longer for she was wearing her
last summer straw hat in October this
year.
The Hardings live in a big green
house with large white front porch
on Mount Vernon avenue, a quiet
shady street here. It is a good street
but not in the most exclusive section
Of Marion. if a town of thirty thou
sand could have an exclusive section.
There is nothing fancy about the
Harding home, inside or out. 1t is far
less pretentious than those of most
Marion merchants or citizens of SINH
lar standing. The Hardings do not
dress for dinner" nor have tea in
the afternoon. Harding likes waffles
for breakfast and a well done beef
steak for dinner. There is refine
ment at their table, but not style"
and no stranger would ever be embar-
raised by a confusing array of forks
and spoons. They live just like other
Americans. of moderate means. Mrs.
Harding looks after her ported plants
and the senator makes frequent
rounds of inspection after breakfast
or lunch to see that there are no
loose boards on the back yard walk
or to examine the screen door hinges
that have been squeaking for several
days.
One thing every visitor at Marion
discovers the first thing-the Harding
are just what they are. as Mrs. Hard
ings puts it
His Photo Too Stern.
Harding's closest friends have often
expressed regret that the campaign
photographs of the candidate showed
a rather stern visage. Thep probably
portray quite faithfully the features of
Harding as he appears in the midst of
an earnest speech. But there is an
other Harding which shows far more
warmth sitting around the dinner
outside for the moment. Then the
genial, easy going, good humored
Harding holds sway. Pushing back
his chair a little from the table, he
| will light one of his favorite long
rough stogies and look reminiscent.
Warren. why don't you tell them
how you got fired from your first
newspaper job" Mrs. Harding will say
turning twinkling eye on her guests.
And Warren, rather reluctantly be-
| gins by saying, "Oh, they wouldn't be
| interested in that
Then he tells about his first job as
a reporter on the old Marion Mirror, a
jealousy Democratic paper. Harding,

on the side. His boss, busy in politics
was out of town a good deal and let
Warren write the editorials, warning
him that they must be fervently Demo
cratic in tone.
Wrote Democratic Editorials.
"You know some of the best edi-

Ilican worker, tho not old enough to
vote. He wore one of the large Blaine
campaign hats adopted by Republi-

He got away with it for a while, but
local Democrats began to complain to
Harding's boss about him allowing a
Republican to get out his paper. Then

Mexican track laborers and black

south in the winter and to the north
in the summer, and they go in gangs.
A third likeness-they usually take
their families with them.
Just at present the denizens of the
troublesome country to the south are
going in that direction in column of

decides that it is too cold in Kansas
for his taste and starts equator-ward,
there are usually a mob to make the

Along about March they will start

and they will come back as they went,

ing's spectacular rise anyway Born
in the obscurity of a stra ggling village
in central Ohio, exactly fifty-five years
ago yesterday, Harding, doing BUSH
ness on a shoestring most of the time,
has now reached the pinnacle to which
only twenty-eight other men in the
entire history of this nation have
climbed.
1t will be difficult for any one to
really believe that the man and wo-
man whose names are on millions of
lips today are just plain, ordinary mid

their lives in a small town struggling
for place among the substantial citi-
zens of the locality.
Nevertheless they are the people

place matters, extremely hospitable

and of sitting in rocking chairs on the
front porch afterward.
There you have the Hardings.

They haven't changed much with
the good fortune that has recently
come to them. 1t is true that Mrs.
Harding used to work in her own

There has been referred to the legal
department of the Santa Fe a question
arising from a recent train robbery in
Colorado, when the robber was appre-

One passenger claimed that he was

manded that the special agent who
made the distribution come thru. The
roads legal department has been
called on to decide whether the special
agent was acting for the railroad COM
pany or for the bandit.

creek will be made by the board and
engineer Sunday to examine unused
springs which are a possible source OF
water for summer use. The board
this summer was again obliged to run
in some water from the Umatilla
river, despite an extension made last
year to tap Chaplish springs. 1t is
the boards intention TO see the pos
sible source of supply during the time
wnen water is at its lowest SO that
recommendations may be made for
possible extensions.
Finances Curb Extension.
An extension might have been made
this year but for the financial situa-
ton. With bonds selling so low and
the board hampered by the present
debt limit of $4,000 in outstanding
script, nothing could be done.
To prevent a recurrence of this diff
ficulty, the board appointed a COM
mittee to draft charter amendment
to be presented to the voters this fall,
calling for an increase from $4,000 to
$4,000 as the maximum of bonds OF
script that can be issued.
In line with the survey to bring O
new system into use here. the board
last night ordered that all water met
ers hereafter be placed at the curb
The commission also decreed that its
system stops at the curb line ano
that the individual is responsible foi
his pipes and system beyond tina
point. Allowance for leaks beyond
the curb line was ordered discontin
ued.
The engineer was authorized to lool
into the matter of obtaining filing
system for the records of the Office
and to make recommendations at tn
next meeting.
