the state chamber adopted a resolu-
tion endorsing a legislative bill for
the purpose Of making it possible for
the state of Oregon to cooperate with
the federal government in surveying
power possibilities on the Columbia

merely his conclusions. he keeps
them surprisingly In touch with his
mental processes. AS these processes
are to certain extent tentative,
the writer's find themselves carried
along from week to week as part
ners in unsettled problems.
Critical Months Ahead.
This method is good, not for the
to the Presidents own decisions. The
questions asked are many, and, while
they are always respectful, they are
not infrequently searching. Twice Il
week the President is facing a group
of keen critics, which is a wholesome
exercise for person in authority.
The clearest fault of the conferences
seems to be diminishing. When the
President is confident he speaks out
clearly. As a practiced stump orator,
he is well able to make himself heard,
When he is somewhat uncertain or
embarrassed, however, his voice drops,
and IT has often been impossible for
the reporters clustered about him TO
hear his words. That fault is dimin-
ishing.
How Mr.. Harding VIII come through
in the big issues IL is much too sooa
to say. November and December, and
possibly January, will be critical
months on the question Of whether we
pursue any real purpose in interna'
tional relations.
The biggest of all domestic ques-
tons. who is to pay the taxes AMI
how, is entirely unsettled, along with
other matters of first rate importance.
Bait one asset the President has
definitely made his. He has created
an atmosphere of goodwill toward him
self personally. He has made the pub
lie and the press believe that his in
tentions are good, his nature cordial,
and his courage more than was ex'
pected AS a man he is Enthusiastically
popular.

Streets grand old man." John A.
Stewart, is ninety-nine years old to-
day and he has lived long enough,
he believes. to be quite sure the
'yorld is improving and that the old
times are not the best after all, as
many old timers claim.
The grand old man. Is still strong
enough to walk briskly without the
use of a canes and he reads news
papers without eyeglasses. Further
more, he is an active chairman OF
the board of trustees OF the United

sure. but yet the kind of thing that
| counts for the peryading popularity
| that Mckinley had. II was suggested
/ to him that, as the lowest score, con
sidering the handicap, was 10 deter.
mine the victor, II did not matter with
whom he played. and he might there
fore just as well go around In one Of
his usual foresomes. selected from
| among Senators Hale, Frelinghuysen
and their cronies.
| Plays With Newspaperman.
OF course, the President declined,
and said he would play with news
paperman, just like anybody else. but.
although IL was an inevitable answer,
1t helped. as a thousand little things
do help.
The same In true of the suggestion
that we might deliver the prize. Ore
could almost have foretold that in de-
Ginning he would give the Jocose rea-
son that II might put him in the posi-
ton Of making q presentation to him
self. One could fortell It, and yet 1t
was pleasant.
The kind of golf the President plays
IL just the right kind also. 1t looks
to some people symbolic. II is a
pretty good game, as things go around
here. and this is undoubtedly better
than IL 1t were either a bad game or
q remarkably strong game.
To play golf rather well indicates
steadiness and self-control. To play
It surprisingly well, II Is not just the
game for an American President to
! be a star in. II IL were baseball,
shooting or riding broncos, that might
| be another matter.
Journalists Like Him.
With another type of man as Pres
ident, a difficulty would have arisen
from the point OF view of the news
paper man who was to play against
him. OF course, as this was a ques-
| ton OF the score In relation to the
| handicap. II really did not matter
whether the Presidents antagonist
played better than the President or
not. but he might well feel embar-
raised nevertheless. i think II ran
be said, greatly to the PRESIDENTS
credit, that every Journalist feels
completely at home with him.
The semi-weekly press conferences
have been conducted in a manner to
build up successfully the relation be-
tween the Chief Magistrate and the
men who have to send his ideas all
over the country.
From the beginning there was evi.
dent in these meetings desire In
the President TO be on confidential
terms with the men whose duty 1t
is to spread his plans. He does not
conceal the difficulties of his thought.
In fact. he rather makes II point
to emphasize his uncertainty when
his mind is, in fact, uncertain.
