When it was at first given out that
President Harding was for early action
on the Colombian treaty it was gen.
orally supposed it would be rushed
through to ratification with little de-
lay. But to-day Senator Kellogg, Of
Minnesota, went to the White House
and told President Harding the op-
position was strong in the Senate and
that to try to drive the treaty through
might endanger party harmony.
President Harding is understood to
have advised Senator Kellogg that he
was not aware of the condition in the
Senate as depicted by Senator Kellogg
and that he would look into it and
likewise would consult with Secretary
Hughes about details Of the treaty
The fact of Senator Kellogg's protest
became noised about the Senate this
afternoon and it gave rise to the i'm
preston the Administration would not
press the Colombian treaty for the
present.

have learned Of things that am doing
or am going to do, which never even
know myself"
President Harding demonstrated his
Fellowship in the craft by relating a
tale Of feverish editorial days, in the
era of fintbed cylinder presses, when
ms eagerness to beat competitor "to
the street led him to send form
to press without locking it,
AT the first revolution of the press
that form shot out on the floor" de-
clared the itorPresident, amid the
laughter of the audience "That was
the finest mess of pi that ever went
into a hell-box. Luckily, it did not
delay the paper very much 1t was
only. the editorial page that we had
pied!"
Then came the story of his hobby.
1t was the story of man--not ar,
editor nor President. 1t was a little
glimpse of the heart of Mr.. Harding,
with nothing of politics nor of state
craft to take it from the line Of ordi-
nary human hobbies. 1t was the hobby
Of man with a heart
Birth of the Harding Hobby
II must confess said the Presi-
dent, that !, too, have a hobby, since
1t IS not unseemly to have one. 1t
grew out of an incident early in my
newspaper career. There was an old
tramp printer. We all regret that
these tourist printers have passed
away. This one was Frenchman
who had come to this country during
the Worlds Columbian Exposition
and had drifted into this shiftless
class. Something | had written made
an impression on him, and got to know
him. But | could not restore him, at
that time, to more stable existence.
Yet 1t did seem to have an effect IN
him. Years later, when I was running
for office, / CHANGED to be in a small
town and to hear a crowd listening
to an orator who held his thronp
spellbound. This orator was my tramp
printer, and he was making speech
for me.
"Out of that experience has grown
this hobby. If there is somewhere q
human touch that awakens disappoint-
ment into hopc-that is the finest
hobby in the world. IT, in the for
tunes that are to come to me, among
the burdens and the responsibilities
of my office, without violating my oath
or my devotion to my country, | can
somehow touch the disappointments Of
yesterday and turn them into the
hopeful fruition of tomorrow, | shall
have indulged the hobby that is dear
est to my heart"
Avery Marks jr., president of the
National Press Club, was in charge of
the hobby party.

Test To-day ON
Colombian Pact

Opposition in the Senate

Approved in Committee

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March What is
regarded here as test of the influence
of the President with the Senate is ex-
pected to arise tomorrow over consd-
GRAFTON Of the Colombian treaty. The
President wishes the treaty ratified
without delay, while strong opposition
is mastering in the Senate.
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs, without opposition, to-day or
dered the treaty once more reported to
the Senate. Amendments agreed to in
the former Congress were agreed to-
Senator Lodge reported the treaty back
to the Senate, and it went over until
Tomorrow
Senator'S Borah and Kellogg are
among those who are preparing to fight
against ratification, and it is probable
that when the treaty is called UP the
first efforts of it's opponents will be di-
rectcd toward delay in consideration
One of the proposals will be a recess
of the special session after nomina.
tlons have been confirmed and recon.
vention prior to the date of the extra
session to consider the treaty.
Apology is Eliminated
The treaty provides for the paymen.
of S25,o00,000 to Colombia because OF
the loss she sustained in the separation
Of Panama. With the original express
sion of apology in the treaty elimin-
atcd the opposition to ratification is
based partly because of the sum in
volved, partly because Colombia Is con-
sldered to have got large benefits out
OF the construction of the canal. and
for other reasons.
One OF the charges which is being
made by opponents of the treaty is that
the American oil interests are PRESSING
actively for ratification of the treaty
IN order TO confirm their oil rights in
Colombia. This promises to be a sub
ject of hot debate. Opponents are go
ing TO demand that the treaty be dis
cussed in open session and not in exec
utlvc session behind closed doors.
In addition to reporting again the
Colombian treaty, the committee acted
on number of other treaties pending
before it, 1t reported the treaty. Of
eXtradition with Canada, which origin
ally was drawn to apply to those who
deserted wives and minor children. The
committee amended it to apply in cases
where the person deserting husband or
wife leaves also minor children.
Other Treaties Ratified
The committee reported and the SEN
ate later ratified the - treaty with
Greece, extending the 1877 treaty of
commerce and navigation; the agree
ment with Portugal to extend for five
years the arbitration conventions; the
treaty to extend to Hawaii the terms
OF the convention with Great Britain
relative to tenure and disposition of
property, and the treaty with Argen
tina. to relieve American commercial
travellers from payment Of the customs
tax.
Before reporting several pendine
treaties or conventions, the committee
decided to consult the President and

views. These included treaties With

WHO WAS THE SAVAGE!

Years ago, the red man lived,
In his forest home.
Butt from pelts Of wild things,
And shaped like icec7eam cones.
He listened to natures nusic,
PLAYED by oabbling brook,
Son, birds sang their sweetes, song,
To the papoose in its coy nook.
T-y call the red man savage,
A stain upon his name.
II wild things could only talk,
The would know where TO place the
blame.
Wild game AMI fish were plentiful,
They knew not the hook or gun.
The red man killed for his daily use,
Twas a crime to kill for fun.
The civilized white man came,
With money, booze and gun.
They played a game, the red man lost,
Red flames shot from the sun,
And in his heart the red man held,
A grudge hard to forget.
He used his handmade weapons,
With blood the soil was wet.
They killed tits true, the white man,
But think before you speak,
How the red man stror" in body
Could have humbled lte : sheep.
To give up all he held so dear,
To men outside his trite,
His hunting ground, his homo, his al,
His honor and his pride.
Put yourself in the red mans place,
And see what you would have done,
guess you'd used pmahawk,
II you did not have a gun.
And would they call you savage,
II you killed to protect your own,
God, think, would be with you,
And your dear pnes, lands and home.
