Washington, Feb. 15--President
Harding has jast made two brave
decisions which, irrespective of
anything else that may happen to
his political fortunes. stand out as
milestones in his career.
To turn down his personal
friend and political associate, Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, on a mat
ter that meant much to the chances
of Mr.. Lodge for reelection this
fall was to do something which
few presidents have had the cour-
age to do. To turn down the al
most unanimous demand of his
party associates in congress Tor
either a bond issue or a series of
direct taxes to raise money for
soldier bonus was also no simple
matter
Both decisions have been based
upon what Mr.. Harding himself ad-
mits were the inexorable laws of
business and sound finance as
against the will of politics and .spe-
cial favor.
Lodge Embarrassed.
| Briefly, Senator Lodge was put
! in an embarrassing position by
some voters in his constituency
who saw no reason why the Boston
navy yard with $500 workers.
should not get the benefit or
| the work to be done in recondition-
| ing the former German liner Le-
viathan Mr.. Lodge was persuad-
ed to introduce an amendment to
a pending bill which would have
compelled the United States ship
ping board to let the contracts to
navy yards and disregard the bids
already made for the work by prI-
yate firms. The senate adopted
1.-THE amendment but President Hard
ing listened to the objections OF
chairman Lasker of the shipping
board who declared that severa
firms had already spent many thou
sands of dollars in making survey:
TO determine how much to bid ant
that sound business principles die
tated the necessity Of giving the
work to the lowest bidder.
President Backs Lasker.
Mr. Harding was similarly adVis
ed by Secretary DENLY of the navy
[.
to say to Mr.. Lodge that the amend
ment adopted by the senate mus
be ignored. 1t is true. the amend
ment wasn't law, and isn't law yet
But a word from tho presiden
would nave caused the shipping
board to defer to Senator Lodge
The president has the utmost con
fidence in Chairman Lasker and h'
showed it in a signal way by fol
: lowing the latter's recommendation
against the pleadings of politica
bosom friend. Today, therefore

contract to the Newport News Ship

some as ia some mysterious way

The federal principle of govern

question of federal or state govern

i war. The federal principle won
then and it has survived the test
Of armed rebellion. 1t is constanC-
R confronted, however, with dan
gers of more insidious kind. The
federal government tends to en-.
doach more and more upon tho

Good inquiry is shown in this

NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, La, Feb. 15.-The
advance in the prices of farm prod
ucts in the last ten days has gone
far toward dispelling the pessim7
ism which was checking commerce
in this section. The trend of mar
kets is accepted as marking a turn
for the better in agricultural com
munities.
The change is not reflected in
increased orders for merchandise,
but there is improvement in collec-
tions. This trend has been aided
by the clearance sales being held
by merchants throughout this dis
trict. They are turning their stocks
in to cash and paying their debts in
a way that is proving a surprise,
,, Both jobbers and retailers are
sticking to the policy of buying as
little for future delivery as pos
sible. Retail business is showing a
slight falling off but sales are run

Zane Grey, Past Master of Western
Fiction, Has Another Great Story
Screened by William Fox

Nearly every reader of red-blooded
American fiction, probably, has read
stories by Zane Grey. Even the few
who have not at least know him by
reputation as the past master of tales
of daring and adventure dealing with
life in the wilder regions of the great
west.
Zane Grey, native of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, is only AZ years of age, and all
his celebrated literary work has been
done since 1904 Prior to that time,
for half dozen years or more, he
practiced dentistry in New York.
From pulling teeth to pulling crowd
ed houses at motion picture theatres
is something of jump-but with the
aid Of William Fox, the well-known
photoplay producer, he has made it.
Four of Zane Grey's stories screen
ed by Fox with William Farnum as
the star have achieved sensational
success throughout the country
These are, "Riders of the Purple
Sage" "The Rainbow Trail,' "The
Lone Star Ranger" and "The Last of
the Duanes." These thrilling film
dramas are unforgettable by any one
who has seen them.
Now comes a fifth Zane Grey story
produced as motion picture super
special" by Fox. "The Last Trail is
% open an engagement here at the
xenworthy theatre on Monday. Here
S tale of mystery, of lone bandits |
operations, of bursting dam and |
Hooded town, of speedy action, valor
and tender romance. Surely "The
LAST Trail" handled by Fox, should
,rove wonderfully fine entertainment.
