A fcw days ago President Harding made the
declaration that every man in the United States
enjoys the right to work or stop without getting
anybody's consent and that American citizens
would be protected IN tho exercise OF that
right.
II is unbelievable that any American citizen
would challenge such statement, but Comp

THE LOVE OF A STRONG MAN.

In all political history there has mover been
a moro beautiful relationship between men
than tnat existing between william Mckinley
and Mark Hanna. Nor relationship more de-
lberately misrepresented more outrageousy
plorled.
In his excellent memoirs OF presidents and
politics covering a quarter OF century. II. H.
Kohlsat. who as the familiar and intimate OF
both men and quite much president maker
as Hanna, knows his subject thoroughly saysi
sphere Is an impression that Mark Hanna
controlled William Mckinley, THAT IL not
so. His attitude was always that OF hig
bashful boy toward girl ho loves. II was
not the power that II brought Mr. Hanna
that made him fight for Mckinlcy's NOM
inauon ana election. II was tho love OF a
strong man for friend who was worthy
OF that affection"
Time has proven the accuracy of this OBJ
servatlon even to the satisfaction OF tho most
violent critics OF the late Ohio senator Too
many men have pointed out how Hanna stead
fastly refused TO even ask Mckinley TO do any
thing that was in the slightest respect i'm
proper. so far from the relationship between
Hanna and Mckinley being In any sub
iect 10 criticism, II has come TO stand out sa
the ideal relationship between men.
No man has ever been in public life who aid
not speedily come TO rcallze that his greatest
danger lay IN his friends TOO many mon have
been broken in public life by those who pro-
tossed great friendship. Whereas the fact re-
mains that mans friend.--a genuine friend
will not ask anything OF him that IS to cause
embarrassment. Hanna was that kind OF a
friend to william Mckinley
