! "Another conference was arranged
by Mr.. Harding with group Of HE
friends in the senate, only day or
two after his Inauguration. 1t took
place at country estate near Washing-
ton, and furnished another opportunity
for the president to learr at first hand
the views held by the men upon whom
he must rely to put his policies into
the form Of laws.
"Still another evidence Of the pres
ident IS desire to possess himself Of the
views of others was furnished in the
first cabinet meeting. In the past such
meetings have been little more than oc-
casions for the submission of reports
from the cabinet members to their
chief, and in return to receive from
him the orders Of the day. Now all

Harding's cabinet was selected for his
ability to contribute to the success Of
the Republican administrator, and
when they assemble together each one
is invited and expected to offer his
opinion on any question that may be
under discussion
"Now, children, the phrase 'popu-
lar government is one about which we
heard much during the campaign of
last summer. 1t is mentioned frequent
ly now when mention is made of Mr..
Harding and his policies. But the
country has suffered so much and go
long under an administration that has
patterned its actions after the monarch

say too much about the return to popu-

I was in Washington that may be Of
more interest to you than what have
been talking about. Perhaps you will
hear of them some other day. want
ed to tell you first of the great change
that has taken place in our national
affairs, 50 that as you grow up you can
remember this time as one Of the great
turning points in our history. Without
the sort of government provided in the
Constitution, the United States could
no long endure. For eight long years
tho country has seen . steady depar
ture from those principles our forefa-
thers declared were essential to our
welfare as a nation. But the turning
point has come at last, and the country
is rapidly retrieving the loss to its
prestige and prosperity that it has suf-
fered.
"The energy with which President
Harding has put into practice the the
cries upon which he won his election
is little short of marvellous. With such
a beginning the success of his admins
tration is assured, and we may look for
successive reports from Washington
telling us of further Accomplishments
for the good of the people. 1t is sub
ject that should receive not only the
closest attention of every one Of us
grown men, but your teachers in the
schools would do well to impress upon
the children the Importance of return
to the sort of government under which
we lived up until eight years ago, and
as each act of the Harding administra-
ton marks 'nearere approach to that j.
end, call it to the, attention of the class.
''Now, children, it is time for bed,
Before you go to sleep just think over
what have told you. Some other time
will tell you a STORY to make you
laugh, but tonight / wanted to tell not
only of what have seen in Washington
but to draw lesson from it that yon
could remember with profit. Good
night"
