REMOVING BANGOR OF POLITICS.

As passing time carries us further away from the political campaign of year people are able to look back to the World War and it's emergencies and policies that adopted meet them with cleater vision It is not strange when considers his opportunities for securing exact Knowledge his of Temperament and his fairness that President Harding has been among the first to give expression less partisan views concerning of the things that have been often characterized Wilson mis- iakes.' sometimes in harsher One of the war activities that has been most severely condemned was the Shipping Board situation. Speaking of this the other day, President Harding, very fairly and very aptly said:
 These things be charged the great emergency and the feverishenss of the country to built ships in a period of great anxiety, and to the establishment of marine the basis of the abnormal condi- tions which prevailed during the emer gency.
 Commenting upon this very sensible and very truthful summary of the dilemma in which the Ad- ministration finds Shipping Board affairs Mark Sul- lvan, writing in the New York Evening Post, says
 aside from the nefficiency inher- ent in any project of Government managed industry all the things that have been dis astrously extravagant and costly in cOnnec- ton with the Shipping Board have arisen out of the
 In this respect Mr. Wilson's management 2. of the war is penazed by the difficulty of remembering, in quiet times of peace what the feeling about ships when were participating in the German sub marines were sinking ships faster than all the Allies, including ourselves, seemed able to build them. It this situation that arose the frantic crys for ships in the greatest possible quantity, at any cost and of any material that could be made to float Of the $3000. .000,0 ,000 invested in our Gov ernment shipping experiment it would prob- ably be fair to charge of tn reel fourth to the cost of the war, in the same that shells and cannon part of the erable of the war.
 There is no question but that President Harding has rendered valuable public service clearing the Shipping Board situation of the of parti- sanship He laid foundation sane solution of the problem when he before the public in its true light. / Mark Sullivan concludes his comment on the mat ter with the following:
 It is evident that two of the things closest to President Hardings heart are the cutting short of the appalling expense which the Government suffers in it's manage men of the Shipping Board and. after that the salvaging and upbuilding of d reasonable mercantile marine for the United States on sound basis At times. President Harding has come nearer to sweating blood in his anxiety about the Shipping Board than about any of his other

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am Is
years old. l have been keeping
company with = fellow about four
months. He is 26 years old. He
left town : few months ago. After
he went | heard from him a few
times. Now it is getting SO don't
hear from him 1t all. l wrote him
three or four letters, but l got no
answer.
When l first met him he didn't
want me to 20 with anybody but
him. Should l write to him again
and remain his friend. or should I
have nothing more to do with him?
Do you think he cares for me? He
gave me = ring. Should l give or
send it back to him, or should l
keep it? like him. but he doesn't
do the right thing by me. l also
have his watch chain, his necktie
clasp, his picture, etc. What shall
l do with them? As long as / went
with him he was nice and respect
full DOLLY.
Do not write to the young man
again unless he writes to you first
1t looks Is if he has found a new
interest and that he no longer ne
joys his correspondence with you.
II two or three months pass from
the time you heard from him last
and you do not see him or get an
other letter. send the ring he gave
you and his belongings back. l do
not believe he cares for you or he
would not ignore your letters.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
single man. 30 years Of age I used
to keep steady company with a re
spectacle woman of the same age.
We won't together for about eigh-
teen months. l loved her dearly
and she loved me, too. I bought her
a lot Of costly things and We were
to be married soon. One day she
started little fuss over a trifle
and she told me not to come any
more. A few days later l wrote her

q letter and she did not answer.
Then wrote her 4 few more and
she did not answer. ] met her on
the street couple Of times and l
spoke to her, but she did not speak.
! cannot understand the way she
acts. think now that | am bet
ter of that am not married to her.
Don't you! Please give me your
opinion. SOLITUDE.
Indeed l do think you are better
on than to Be married to a woman
with so little heart. Since you were
engaged to be married. you were en-
titled to the real reason for her
change Of heart. Have faith that
a better experience is ahead of you
and that kind fate kept you from
this woman to give you to another.

how to overcome my great fault OF

Of me as young and foolish. Are
they right?
JOYCE IN QUESTION
If you like every boy you meet,
and show it, you are certainly fool
ish. You must learn to be more re-
served. Be cautious in choosing
your friends. Instead OF accepting
young man as your friend the
first time you meet. remain indif-
ferent until you know more baout
your time. A girl of the nature
you say you are is apt to lose ont
with a young man after going with
him two or three times.
