A Shocking Surprise.

Nothing could have been a more
shocking surprise. But an hour ear
lier General Sawyer had been telling
newspaper men that Mr.. Harding had
had the best day since he became Sc
riously i'll the preceding Saturday. He
said that the President had definitely
entered upon the stage of GONZALES
cence and that everything went to
show that Mr.. Harding was on the
road to ultimate recovery.
The members of the official party
those who had accompanied the Pres
ident and Mrs. Hardlng-had no warn
ing that the President was in danger.
They, like the newspaper men, had
been assured that a fatal termination
Of the Presidents illness was a thing
not to be expected, In view of his APP
parent improvement-the evident less
ening of serious symptoms-in the
last 48 hours.
George B. Christian, Jr., secretary
to the President and his devoted
friend, was in Los Angeles with Mrs
Christian. He had gone there at the
Presidents solicitation to read at a
Masonic gathering an address which
the President had prepared in the eX-
pectation that he would deliver it in
person.
The newspaper men had an engage
ment with General Sawyer for s
o'clock. He was to tell them then
how the President was progressing
toward recovery.
Regarding the manner in which Mrs.
Harding sustained the shock, an Off
cial statement given to the press by
Judson D. Welliver Of the White
House staff, member of the Presi-
dents official party, said:
Mrs Harding, who from the begin
ming of the Presidents illness had ex-
pressed complete confidence in his re
cOvery, did not break down. On the
other hand, she continued, as from
the beginning, the bravest member Of
the group. When it was realized that
the President had actually passed
away, she turned to those In the room,
whose concern had turned to her, and
said: I am not going to break down -

PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE

Reports have reached me, which
I fear are correct, that President Hard
ing is gone. The world has lost
great and good man. l mourn his
loss. He was my chief and my friend.
1t will be my purpose to carry out the
policies which he has begun for the
service of the American people and for
meeting their responsibilities wherever
they may arise.
For this purpose, I shall seek the
cooperation of all those who have been
associated with the President during
his term of office. Those who have
given their efforts to assist him l wish
to remain in office, that they may
assist me.
Il have faith that God will direct
the destinies of our nation"
The following telegram was sent to
Mrs. Harding:
plymouth, Vt, Aug. 8, 1923.
MRS. Warren G. Harding, San
Francisco, Cal: We offer you our
deepest sympathy. May God bless you
and keep you.

The telegram announcing the death
Of the President was as follows:

Aug 3, 1923.-Mr. Calvin Coolidge,
Plymouth, Vt: The President died, in

Calvin Coolidge is a quiet, taciturn
man, known to his friends as "Silent
Cal"
For more than twenty years prior to
his election as vice president he had
been in political life, starting almost
Immediately after finishing college.
His first political office was in the city
council of Northampton, Mass, where
he had settled. For years he held va
rious offices in that city, including
those Of city solicitor and mayor !;
then he was elected to the MassaChu-
sets house of representatives. Later
he won a seat in the state senate and
was its president.
Coolidge was lieutenant governor of
Massachusetts and in 1919 was elect
ed to the gOvernOrship in the first cam
paign won by the Republican party in
several years. He was governor for
during his term as governor that he
first attained nationwide prominence.
This was in connection with the pO-
licemen'S strike in Boston. He took
firm control of the situation, ordered
the state guard to patrol the streets,
and kept down rioting, taking the
stand that law and order must be pre-
served. The strike was complete
failure. Following his action in this
situation he was nicknsmed Law and
Order" Coolidge.
He was mentioned as a possibility
for the presidential nomination prior
to the 1920 campaign, but he made a
public announcement that he would
not consider the nomination. His
nomination and election to the vice
presidency followed.
In Washington Mr. Coolidge has
been ranked as a clear thinker, care
full in speech, a fair mi%er-as aggres-
sive as any vice president can be.

minutes later newspaper men arrived
in Ludlow.
A drive Of thirty miles through the
mountains brought them to the Cool

Mr.. Coolidge and Mrs Coolidge had
retired about IN hour before the death
messages were received. Ten minutes
after the arrival Of the newspaper men
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge came downstairs
into the sitting room Of the Coolidge
home Mr.. Coolidge was dressed in u
black sack suit and wore black neck
tie. Mrs. Coolidge wore black and
white gown, white shoes and stockings.
Mr.. Coolidge was very pale and showed
deep regret for President Hardlngs
death. He seated himself at q table.
while Mrs. Coolidge brought a lamp
and read the kilograms he had re
ceived.
He then called his assistant secre-
tary, Irwin Geisser, and dictated to
him his statement and the telegram to
Mrs Hurding,

that a country without trees is "baldheaded and
boneheaded" and it is high time that they got busy
on the nations forestry problem
President Harding is strong in his belief that
national forest policy is necessary, as is shown by
his letter TO Representative John d. Clarke of New
York, chairman Of the agricultural committee OF
the house, which held extensive hearings had bill
drafted and sent 1t to him for expression of his
views.
The Presidents letter says in part:
THE federal government has made fine progress
in its scheme of forest reserves, the development
of methods of forest protection against fire and in
sect and plant pests, in promoting refOrestaton
and methods of timber conservation, and in its
search looking toward improved methods of timber
utilization. Some of the states have formulated
state programs along the same general lines and of
recent years especially there has been a steadily
growing interest on the part of private owners OF
forest lands l very glad, therefore, that the
committee agriculture feels that have come
a time when definite provision should be made
for larger cooperation between the federal govern
ment, the states and the private owners, with
view to working out national policy covering the
growth, protection, conservation and of timber.
when remember that substantially
fourth of the national is forest land poten-
tial forest land of little value for timber
production, the need of such policy becomes appar
ent Already we have consumed or destroyed SIX
ty per cent of our original timber wealth, and
using timber at rate four times as fast
growing it. Millions of acres which
once covered with fine forests and which are suit
able only for the growing of timber now en-
tirely barren. Prosperous communities built up
while these virgin forests were being harvested
have disappeared. transportation lines have been
torn up and social and industrial decay has fol-
lowed The growing of timber Is the most pract-
cal to which these lands can be put, and popr-
lation and industry of these regions may be re-
stored only by restoring the forests To this end
both federal and state governments may well lend
every proper encouragement.
"As we have consumed our forest grow tn near

become necessary 10 ship the timber needed for
constantly increasing distances steadily growing
