When Mr.. Harding assumed the
Presidency he delivered an Inaugural
tion speech which contained many re-
sounding terms, but few clear-cut
phrases. II was hoped that the Presi-
dental style would improve with ex-
ercise. To the contrary, il has become
more involved. Yesterday my seat in
the press gallery was almost above
him as he spoke. / could hear every
syllable that he uttered clearly and
distinctly. But l shared the common
lot of those around me-his long, in
volved sentences, containing ponder
Gus words of Latin derivation which
may have different shades of mean
ing. make it difficult at times to COM
prehend his exact thought. At times
he spoke almost like Delphic oracle.
He clothed his thought in a FOG of
words.

ening to such masters of rhetoric as
Arthur James Balfour and NJ. Viviani
and Senator Schanzer, after having
sat in front of Admiral Baron Kato

''Yes, that IL true" the little fellow
replied. 'and was disappointed In
him. But ne was sincere In his Views,

Can we always admire President
Harding's sincerity? Or rather. In nc
mentally sincere? One does not doubt
his heart. A swecter. moro lkeable
person never came from Ohio. The
President In a big. rather generous
hearted man, who has a most abound
ing faith In old-fashioned right, and
strong hatred OF old-fashioned wrong.
That In a very good characteristic OF
Main Street" But the heart and the
head are vastly different things. In
one OF his opening paragraphs he de-
clared to Congress:
II am very sure we shall have no
conflict Of opinion about constitution

anxieties OF war. when necessity
seemed compelling. there were cx-
cessive grants OF authority and an

proclamations have put an end to
these emergency excesses, but have

which Is necessary In representative

That Is nice slap at Woodrow
Wilson and also plea for support for
policies yet TO be named. But read n
little further in that speech and you
find President Harding pleading foi
greater economic powers than ever
were vested in a peace-time president
He asks for the enactment of a perma-
nent tariff law, and then calls foi
"hexibility and elasticity" in tariil
matters, which he would gain by "tht
lextension of the powers OF the Tariff
Commission, so that 1t can adapt e.
self to a scientific and wholly just ad

paragraphs. Here they are:
