EDITORIAL CHAIR
GIVEN PRESIDENT BY

Members Of the Fourth Estate Present
First Member Of Their Craft to
Become President With an
"Edltorial' Chair.

Washington, July ID. - A high
backed editorial CHAIR" presented to
President Harding by more than 600
fellow newspaper editors, was added
Wednesday to the furnishings Of the
Presidential study in the White House.
1t was made Of wood from the famous
old schooner Revenge, captured from
the British on Lake Champlain during
the Revolutionary War, and was pre-
sented through committee headed by
Ernest F. Birmingham of The Fourth
Estate.
Senator Capper Of Kansas, publisher
of The Topeka Capital, was selected to
make the presentation speech and an
other member of the Committee Of
Seventy-five, which arranged for the
presentation, was James NJ. Cox, pub
Usher of The Dayton News, and Mr..
Harding's Democratic opponent for
the Presidency last year.
Senator Capper said that the occa-
sion was unique in that Mr.. Harding
was the first member Of the profession
to become President.
"Permit me to say this Is no ordi-
nary chair" he said, with singular
thoughtfulness, the originators Of the
idea, have had put into this testimon-
ial material Of the first warship In the
American navy, the Revenge, taken a
few years ago from the bottom of Lake
Champlain.
There is no revenge today in the
navy of this country. There Is none in
;he American plan for the future.
There is only good will in American
hearts for all the world
I'VE believe the American press, ex-
emplified by your own honorable part
in its upbuliding, does much - make
men more thoughtful and considerate
and upright in the forming of the
highest ideals of American citizenship.
That the newspaper men have COM
plete confindence in your ability and
determination to measure up to the
great demands of the time is shown In
this spontaneous expression today"
