Mr.. Harding and His Party.

After his interview with Mr.. Haro
ing at Marion Monday, DR.. Jacob
Gould Schurnann said:
II was deeply Impressed with SEN
ator Harding's desire and determl-
nation to give the best possible serv-
ice to this country He will not for
get the republican party, but real
ize that he is persuaded that the party
can best help itself by serving the
country best, and in his program
service of the country would come
first"
This is the true note. "He serves
his party best who serves his country
best
Mr.. Harding could not forget his
party without forgetting himself and
the circumstances and conditions OF
his elevation to the presidency. He
was nominated and elected as re-
publican. He stood upon platform
proclaiming republican principles. In
all Of his campaign speeches ne
pledged himself to those principles.
He must now. Of course, address him
self to the effort Of stamping those
principles on legislation. His recon-
mendations to Congress must tally
with the Chicago creed.
AS for instance, he must stand Tor
protection in the matter of tariff re-
vision. He must stand for private
ownership and operation in the mat
ter of railroad transportation. He
must stand for private ownership and
operation of the American merchant
marine. He must stand for sound
finance in accordance with the repub-
lican record on that subject.
In standing for these things will
not Mr.. Harding, as President. be
standing for the best interests of the
country? Protection has been tried,
and has justified itself. Our railroad
transportation has reached its impress
sive proportions under private owner
ship and operation. And why should
not water transportation be built up
in the same way? And the republican
party has shown, particularly in the
past quarter century, that its finan.
cial policy is sound to the core.

who are real leaders in the different
worlds mentioned have responded to
Mr.. Harding's invitation by laying be-
fore him, not hearsay or guesswork,
but facts known to and tabulated by
themselves. r'. =
All of this will stand him well in
hand when he takes up his new
duties. which will cover big things and
little. in every walk Of life and in
every section Of the country. He will
be truly the servant Of ali the people.
charged with advancing and safe.
guarding their interests. and should
know their aims and wishes and the
resources upon which they are rely
ing.
Starting thus equipped. and assist.
ed by advisers carefully selected. Mr..
Harding should make his way. to the
satisfaction Of his friends and sup
porters, and to the benefit Of the coun-
try. He is probably not undertaking
the size or difficulty Of his task, nor
blind to what failure would cost.

The Oath of Office.

Now it is announced that the for
NAL Inauguration ceremonies will take
place on the east porch of the Capitol
and not within the Senate chamber, as
at first indicated by Mr.. Harding in
his telegram announcing his wishes
respecting the ceremonies Of March 4.
This Is q considerate move, to comply
with the general public wish that the
custom OF administering the oath in
the presence Of the people should be
maintained. Only once has the oath
been taken within the Capitol building
in recent years, and that was on
March 4, 1909, when a blizzard made
it physically impossible for the presi.
dental party to take its stand upon
the east porch.
Whether any stand is erected or a
large or small place Of assemblage is
provided for the officials, the admins
tration Of the oath on the Capitol
steps will draw a great multitude OF
people to the plaza in front of the
building. For that will be practically
the only outward and tangible token
Of the change Of administration, the
elimination Of the peaceful revolu-
ton in American affairs. Probably
many people will come to Washington
simply to see that, even though only
the barest handful Of those Assem-.
bled can hear the speech or have more
than a glimpse of the figure of the
new President taking the oath and
addressing the people.
1t may be that the inhibition
against ceremonial features on March
viii be slackened and modified some
what in response to public feeling on
the subject. But unfortunately the
inaugural program machinery has
been virtually stopped. Whatever
develops now must be Of an Off
cial and a spontaneous character.
Washington stands ready to receive
and care for the people as they come
from outside to be present on this &C.
casion. however much curtailed the
program may be.

and few between horse-drawn We.
addition many hundreds of lives were
lost in non-vebicle cases. At the end
of October it was noted that 1901
people had been killed at grade cross
ings in six months.
There will be grade crossing deaths
as long as these places are allowed
to remain. At the recent conference
held here it was felt that the best
course was to provide for warning
signals. All grade crossings are to
be classified as ordinary" or dan
gerous." the latter to be marked with
uniform and conspicuous signs speci-
flying the speed at which such cross
ings may be crossed. obedience to such
speed restrictions to be required by
law"
1t is to be noted that the conference
did not propose that all vehicles should
be absolutely halted before crossing
tracks. Under this rule. as adopted.
a person crossing the track at the
speed specified by law Is within his
rights, and If an accident occurs the
responsibility rests upon the railroad
company.
Warning signs will not prevent
grade crossing accidents. Only phys
ical barriers set when a train is within
the danger zone will safeguard the
road users. Railroads that continue
to use grade crossings should be COM
PEELED at all points to maintain such
barriers under the penalty OF assum-
ing full liability for deaths or dis
ablements that occur upon their
tracks.

Roosevelt and Clemenceau. J..


Upon laying down the duties Of the
presidency, Theodore Roosevelt went
to Africa for some big game shooting
and achieved notable bags. He was
gene for months, and had. az he con-
fessed, the time Of his life as sports
man. Now and then an item Of news
about him would reach the wire. and
be widely distributed.

went to India for some big game
shooting. and the first news about him
has just come through. The Tiger Of
France has hagged two full grown
Indian tigers. Some performance for

hunting field, and may add to his fine

Upon returning home Mr.. Roose.
welt plunged into politics again. and
made things lively for both Of the old
parties by organizing a new party and
becoming Its leader. His reason was
that things at home during his alb
sence had not been going his way;
and he now purposed to set them right.
His effort resulted in the defeat Of the
republican party and the new party.
and the bringing in Of the demo.
cratic party after stay of sixteen
years in the wilderness.
Upon returning home will NJ. Gle.

Gray Matter and the Movies.

Henri Bataille, the French drama

this eminent practitioner of spoken

position lays him open to the charge

The Payne-Aldrich Tariff.

Many business men appearing be-
fore the ways and means committee
Of the House In the hearings on tariff
revision suggest the temporary re-
enactment Of the schedules Of the
Payne-Aldrich law as the most ef-
fective mean4 OF preventing 'the
dumping OF European manufactures
on the markets Of the United States"
That law was enacted in 1909, near
ly twelve years ago. It was ,fashfoned
for conditions Of peace in this country
and abroad. 1t provoked the ang1iest
contest over the tariff question that
had been known in years. It split the
republican party wide open, giving
the House elected next year to the
democrats, and paving the way for
the full democratic triumph Of 1912.
One of the criticisms of Mr.. Taft in
his campaign for reelection was based
on the fact that he. had signed the
Payne-Aldrich measure.
Since then the democrats have dis
placed the Payne.A1drieh law with a
law drafted on low tariff lines. A
world war has been fought, with
America participating. and business
all over the world dislocated. That
dislocation still continues. although
the armistice was signed over two
years ags, and trading among the ma

NATIONAL LIVESTOCK ASSO-

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 17--- The general mid-ycar meeting of the American National Livestock AssO- citation will be held here Friday and Saturday, August 26 and 27.
 Question of vital interest to the livestock producers throughout the country will be discussed, accord ing to the call for the meeting issued last month from the association s headquarters in Denver.
 It is expected that the proposal that Denver subscribe $500,000 to the $50,000,000 pool that will ex- tend credits to livestock raisers will receive attention at the meetnig here Of the $5O0,O00 allotted to Denver banks only $2O0,0OO has thus far been raised.
 New York was allotted half Of the $50,000,000 fund; Chicago, $S.- O0O,000; Kansas City, $1,500,0O0; Omaha, $750,000, the remainder be- ing raised by subscriptions from various banking institutions and cat tie companies throughout the coun- try A large per centage of the fund has already been subscribed to, it is believed.

CANADIAN EX-
 AVIATORS FLY
 ON PATCHWORK
Government Encourage Fly ing by Employing Airmen to Maintain Fire Patrol; Others Are Fishing.

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 19-Canada solved the problem of soldier relief by settling as many as wished on the land, but that did not solve the problem of what to do for the hundreds of after-the-war aviators. The fliers were not disposed to turn from looping the loop in the air to blowing furrows on the ground.
 So the government encouraged Canadian flying as d measure of helping ex-aviators. Airmen are maintaining a fire patrol over great forest regions that prevents millions of dollars annual loss.
 Scores of airmen are being used in survey work. Others have en- tered new field-the fishing in dustry. The aviators locate schools of fish and signal their positions. They promise to reyolutionize seal hunting.
 Airplane mail service has been established in some districts. In the oil rush, airplanes have brought the subArctic close to civilization.
 High aircraft efficiency, under the supervision of the Canada Air Board, is indicated by the fact that in the last year there was but one injury in a total of 33,612 miles of flying. Government machines made 39S flights and civil aviation 18,671.

THE sash Is one of those items of
 | dress whose sole mission is to be ornamental. We have 1t with us this summer in many developments, from narrow girtlles with floating ends that are mere finishing touches of color, 10 gorgeous affairs made of brilliant brocaded ribbons, that dominate the costume. The dress becomes a back ground for these pretentious access sories when they are made of such splendid stuff.
 On midsummer dresses of sheer materials sashes are often made of the same fabric as the dress, and oc- casionally, narrow ribbon is used with these fabric sashes. Circles of fabric finished with bows and long ends of narrow ribbon make happy combina- ton, but the handsomest and dressiest sashes remain, as they always have been of ribbons. Three of them are illustrated here, found among the sim pier designs. for sashes have been much elaborated by combining ribbons of different coors in them and by rib- bon flowers and ornaments.
