 Legislative Assembly Decides.

Simla. India. Sept. 2o.-A resolution calling for the. early release of Mahat- ma Gandhi and other political pris- oners was defeated after A heated de- bate in the national Legislative As sembly in it's present summer session here.
 Seshagiri 1yer, speaking in behalf of the resolution, gave brief his tory of the political movement in India, beginning with the inception of the National Congress in 1885. The European war, he said, gave an impetus to democratic ideals which was supplemented by the announce ment made in Parliament in 1917 that the British government intended to introduce legislation for the grad ual development of governing in- stitutions." and the progressive real ization of responsible government" Mr. Iyer pleaded that "honest and sin cere patriots who chose the role of on-cooperators for what they believ- ed to be the service of the country and who single -mindedly devoted themselves to that service should not be allowed to rot in iais."

 The ideals of the university will be Lincolns ideals, Senator sherman said, and its founders hope to make 1t a self-help institution where any body who wants to learn, regardless of his bank account, can study night and day and Sunday, if he cannot come at other times.

 "When the country is at peace there is no part of our system which will not be the better for an exchange of ideals and free criticism freely and sincerely given. We want to instill | of thought and person. ,lity in the students"
 An example of the interpretation ,f Linconian ideals by his fellow | ownsmen was evidenced at one of the meetings, attended by 200 citizens, when someone proposed that the pol cy of the new university be to sup

 .'The form Of our present govern ment is not the last word" Dr. Hagler replied. "The American political in- stitntion must he elastic. We do not want to stand firmly for things as they are and deny the need Of pro- eress."
 When the question of calling the Christian university came up, some non-christians on the com mittee objected. The policy finally adopted was to make the university Christian in the ethical sense, for the school itself will he strictly non-de- nominational, the committee has promised.

ployment and national finance thai
must be attended to Immediately
Harding, with the same indomita-
bic spirit that carried him through
the storms of early life, put his
shoulder to the wheel of state.
Against the advise OF his personal
physician, Brig. Gen. Charles E.
Sawyer, he was at his desk for
months from early in the morning
until midnight. There were times
even when he was still fum5ling
through his papers until almost
daylight.
The world conference on disarma-
ment probably will go down in his
tory as the greatest achievement of
his administration.
But Harding's fight for an
American ship subsidy, for the es-
Enlistment of world court of
justice, for the preservation of the
18th or prohibition amendment, for
the amicable settlement of indus
trial differences on the railroads
and in the mines will be remember
ed long after his name has become
only a memory.
Was Friend of Mckinley.
Early in his years of political
service he met William Mckinley,
to whom his close friends have
most often likened him, and with
whom he had in common a pre-.
dominant passion for oblteration of
class and sectional lines. A friend
ship sprank up between the two
men. Mr.. Harding also was close
in later days to Theodore Roose-
welt, Senators Foraker and Penrose
and others high in his party coun-
sells.
The president was lifelong
Baptist and was a trustee of his
home church in Marion. he also
had been member of the Elk |
and Moose fraternities for years, |
and after his election as president !

ing transformed it into a powerful
small-town daily.
Meanwhile he was dabbling II
politics. In 1900 he became a state
senator. He served two terms
Then he was indicted into the lieu.
tenant governors office. In191e
he ran for governor, but was de-
feated.
As his ambition had carried him
into the ranks of publishers, so his
| fancy took into the realm of pcl..
tics. From the first he was an
ardent partison, and his insistence
upon wearing stove pipe" hat,
the badge of support of James G.
Blaine, while reporter on a Demo
cratic newspaper. brought him
sharp reprimand from his chief,
who held it to be inconsistent for
worker on a Democratic paper to
so prominently display the symbol
of his Republicanism.
The future presidents ability as
,, a stump speaker won him early
recognition from his local party
leaders. Marion county then was
in the Democratic column and he
undertook to switch it to the Re-
publican party, but his first eff
fort at office on his party ticket
resulted in defeat, though he
commanded an unexpected vote.
Was State Senator.
Mr.. Harding's first political Of !
flee was that of Ohio state sena- |
tor, to which he was elected at
the age of 81. He served two
terms and later was elected lieu
tenant governor of his state. In
1910 he sought the governorship,
but was defeated. Four years lat
err he was elected to the United
States senate, where he served six
years, much of the time as a men,
Der of the important foreign rela-
tons committee. From this place
he was elevated to the presidency,
the first senator to be elected chief
executive.
Has Big Tasks.
A might task confronted Warren
G. Rardi-gg when he entered the
White House.
America had entered upon the
period of reconstruction following
he greatest war in all history It
still technically was at war with
Germany and Austria, although hos
5ilities had ceased more than two
years before, for no treaty had
,een signeds between it and these
nations.
There were problems of unem-

when he was IA, Ianky, I'M
calmly youth more than six feet tall
he matriculated for an academic
course at Ohio Central College in
Iberia. That long since has clos
ed its doors.
Several times, when he couldn't
find enough odd jobs, he was fore
ed to quit school But always, aft
er something turned up, he would
return to his books. He was grad
uated with a B. S. degree when he
was IT,
For a year he taught schools.
Then he read law for another year.
His father bought the Marion,
(O) Star, then a struggling little
weekly paper, at a sheriff's sale.
Warren, in college, edited a school
paper. He became editor of the
Star, which his father presented to
him.
Against great financial odds, he
conducted the paper for some time.
But he was forced eventually to sell
lit. He took a reportorial position
on the Marion Mirror, but political
differences with the owner resulted
in his discharge.

SKETCH OF
DEAD PRESIDENT.

JIM 4 NA@1
Warren G. Harding brought t.
the presidency an infinite patience
and kindness in dealing with pub
lie questions and men, which en-.
abled him to handle the problems
of government without the stres.
and worry that had handicapped
many of his predecessors.
Whatever else historians may say
of him there probably will be lit
tie dispute that few chief execu-
tives came to office in peace time
facing problems more complex in
their nature or greater in number.
All international affairs were un-
balanced as never before, with
many principal settlements of the
great war still to be effectuated.
At home the work of reconstruc-
tion had only just begun, with
business depressed, agriculture
PROSTATE and unemployment gen
eral.
Measured Up to Task.
How Mr. Harding measured up
to the task before him must be left
to the historian, but his friends
said that coming to the presidency
as he did with an open mind, a de-
sire for counsel and an intimate
knowledge of the processes of gov
eminent acquired in his services in
the senate, he was the type of man
needed for the job at such a time.
Preaching upon every occasion
the doctrine of Americanism, he
set his face resolutely against
"Entangling Alliances" While thus
adhering to what he was pleased to
term the principles Of the founding
fathers, he nevertheless lent the
moral assistance of the govern
ment in the efforts to bind up the
wounds of the world.
That influence was once declar-
ed by him to be not inconsiderable,
and so America under his guidance
had a part, silent though it was in
the main, in effecting the settle
ments of many yexng world ques-
ton. Its chief contribution was the
Washington Arms conference at
which the principal powers cove
nanted to limit the six of their
navies and thus lift from tax weary
peoples the burden of maintaining
the race for naval supremacy.
Stood for America.
Along with the proffer Of coun-
sci in effecting world settlements
went an insistance that American
rights be recognized. In polish
ed phrase, but with directness of
expression that was not to- be mis-
construed, the world was given tC
understand from the very first of
the Harding administration that the
United States, freely respecting the
rights of the other nations, asked
for herself only that to which she
was entitled in simple justice, and
that she could accept nothing less.
