Several hundred men stood in the
heat Of a July afternoon idly watch
ing the work of eXcavating the eel
lar for the great Office building which
is to stand on the site of the old Prov
ince house on Washington street in
Boston. They crowded around the
board fence, two and three deep, look
ing down into the hole where steam
drills bored, cranes swung slowly
great shovels cut into the soil, and
men carted dirt. Not one was seen
to turn about to look up at the Old
South Meeting house, which stood
diagonally across the street, revealed
for the first time in many years from
a distance far enough removed to do
justice to it's Wren-like spire and it's
fine proportions.
The first meeting house on this site
was built In 1869, in the garden of the
John Winthrop mansion. which then
belonged to Mary Norton. 1t was q
little church of cedar wood, but here
Benjamin Franklin, who was born
just across the road. was baptized in
1706. Here also Margaret Brewster
appeared in "sackcloth and. ashes"
during service to give the cOngrega-
ton solemn warning because of the
persecution of the Quakers. That was
in 1877. About twenty years later
Judge Sewell stood up in his pew
while his confession for his part in
the witchcraft delusion of 1892 was
read.
Historic Meeting House Of Provincial
and Revolutionary Days.
The present brick building was
dedicated in 1870 and in the course
of the next century saw many stirring
town meetings which were too large
for Faneuil hail. In March, ITO,
such an overflow meeting waited here
while Samuel Adams sent back and
forth negotiating with Hutchinson I'M
til he yielded and withdrew his regi-
ments from the city. On November
81, 1878, gathering of 5000 citizens
resolved that the tea on which King
George babe them pay a tax, should
not be landed. aOn December 16 of
the same year 1000 citizens waited
here by candlelight for the return of
courier who had been dispatched to

Milton to ask Hutchinson for redress.
When he brought word that there
would be none, a war whoOp was
raised outside the church and group
Of patriots, disguised as Indians,
rushed down to Griffin's wharf where
the ships were lying and pitched the
tea overheard. Another dramatic
scene occurred in 1775 when Joseph
Warren entered the pulpit from a
window above to deliver his now ia
nous grafton on the Boston massa-
ere. The aisles and the very steps Of
the pulpit were crowded with red
coated officers and men.
The Election Sermon.
/, Until 1872 the church was the
scene of the picturesque ceremony
started in 1912, the annual election
sermon, at which the newly elected
governor and all the provincial or
state dignitaries appeared in the pride
and pomp of Office to give thanks for
their election and to dedicate them
selves to the work which lay before
them.
A church with such history as
this would be more truly appreciated
if it were almost anywhere except
just where 1t is, for in this part, of
Boston it has two rivals which have,
been preserved to carry on the verDi
traditions for which it stands. Fa-
neuil hall, honored throughout the
United States and not unknown in
Europe, is today the fitting meeting
place of idealists and refOrmers. AID
Kings chapel, also only few blocks
away, is now just as when the be-
ribboned and belaced officers of the
British army and their Tory hosts at
tended service there, a dignified and
beautiful place of worship. Obvious
ly the Old South cannot compete with
the "Cradle of Liberty" as a meeting
place for young America. nor can it
serve in its first capacity without
many changes and continuous sacri-
fee on the part of the congregation
in going far downtown on Sunday
mornings So 1t has come about that
today the Old South church is for the
average Bostonian only historic and
cherished exterior

DREs1DENT HARDING has begun

DRESIDENT HARDING has begun
his journey of more than two
months, through the Middle West and
West, to Alaska, and through the Pam
anna canal to Porto Rico. Already he
has delivered, in st. Louis, his main
address concerning American member
ship in the world court. He set forth
at length the reasons why he favors.
such membership and has now left the
matter to the decision of the American
people, who, before deciding, will have
plenty of opportunity to hear or read
the views Of the opposition. Mr.. Hard
ing could not be induced to abandon or
be silent about his advocacy of the
world court membership by those who
feared it would cause party split,
but it is not likely that he will dwell
on the subject in his future addresses.
Mr.. Harding still insists his trip is
in no sense a campaign tour in the
interests of his denomination. On the
continent he seeks to get in close
touch with the people west of the Mis-
sissippi on paramount issues. In Alas
ka he desires to learn at first hand
what is the matter with the govern
ment of the territory and why its de-
velopment Is retarded. In Porto Rico
he probably will have to take a hand
in Strengthening out the administra-
ton Of the island, for already the new
governor, Horace M. Towner, is being
subjected to bitter attack for the al
legged offense Of favoring too markedly
the faction that recently succeeded in
ousting Governor Rely.
Mrs. Harding accompanies the Presi-
dental party, and seems now to be in
the best Of health.

XXIHEAT marketing and wheat
w prices were discussed thoroughly
for two days last week by large
number of prominent men who met in
national conference in Chicago. There
were governors among them, and con-
gressmen, farmers, railway men and
grain traders. The proposition of a
minority group for the fixing of wheat
prices was voted down and a plan was
adopted for the organization of a per-
manent National Wheat council, and a
board of directors was named to carry
out the work. Resolutions were adopt
ed indorsing cooperative marketing.
The convention favored the stabili-
cation of wheat prices. The investiga-

grain and grain products was indorSed.
Increase of domestic consumption of
wheat and wheat products was urged.
Fifteen men from various branches
of industry and agriculture were
named directors. Among them are O.
E. Bradfute, head of the American
farm bureau; Daniel A. Wallace, Min
nesota, publisher and brother of the
secretary of agriculture; julius Fleisch-
mann, Cincinnati, president of the
Fleischmann Yeast company; Alexan-
der Legge, president of the Interna-
tional Harvester company; F. Edison
White, president of Armour & Co., and
III. e. Byram, president Chicago. Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad.
The rejected minority plan was that
grain corporation be formed, sup
piled with money from the United
States treasury, to buy all the Ameri-
can farmers wheat as soon as the
price dropped to $1.50 bushel.
Senator Capper Of Kansas was one
of the most vociferous of the con-
ferees, as might be expected. and at
the opening session he seized the op-
pOrtunity to denounce the Chicago
board of trade, asserting that it has
become the worlds greatest gambling
place and fixes the price for the bene-
fit of the Spectator and against the
producer and consumer. He added:
I'm May, 1922, half dozen grain gam
blers cleaned up something like ST.
100000 in "a hours, which was more
than all the farmers of Kansas made
out of their entire crop in 1922. This
will not be possible with the Capper-
Tincher law in operation"
Vice President John R. Mauff of the
Chicago board of trade holly resented
Capper's charges, denying them abso-
lutely. Afterward he said the boards
directory would soon decide whether
the Kansas senator should not be sued
for damages on account of defamation
of character of the 1893 members of
the board.

Vast volumes of molten lava flowed

it was believed the larger towns of
Linguaglossa and Castiglione also
were doomed but as the lava river
flowed into the valley between them it
was said by experts that they would
be saved. King Victor Emmanuel hur-
ried to the scene of disaster to cheer
up the sufferers and promise them re-

dropped all other business and also
went to Sicily. United States Ambas-

confiscate and requisition a force of
Germans to operate all the Ruhr valley
industries, the output of which may be
turned to the account of reparations.
Germans who refuse to do this work
will receive Jail sentences up to 10
years, and sabotage may be punished
with death sentences on conviction by
court-martial.
Passive resistance is steadily weak
ening, and this is due in large meas
ure to the food situation. One of the
German government orders already
has been repealed and firms are now
permitted to pay freight rates on food
transported on lines operated by the
French. One Of the latest seizures by
the French was that of the sugar fac
tories at Frankenthal and neighbOring
villages.
This serious food situation is af-
fecting all of Germany, especially be-
cause of the further decline of the
mark, which is rapidly approaching
the worthlessness of the Russian
ruble. Flour imports from the United
States at Hamburg have stopped, and
importers there have lost heavily be-
cause buyers refuse to take shipments
they ordered. There is shortage of
fish, too, and the German high seas
fishing industry is about to suspend
because of labor and financial troubles.
TNSISTENCE by the Turks that their
L country's bonds be paid in Turkish
paper money is expected, at this writ
ing, to result in the breaking up Of
the peace conference at Lausanne.
This, however, does not mean resump-
ton Of warfare. The negotiations will
be carried on through the legations,
and it is taken for granted separate
peace treaty will be signed by Turkey
and Greece, permitting rehabilitation
in Thrace. The French, who would
be the main sufferers by. the Turkish
plan of payment, will not agree to it,,
and presumably will have the luke
warm support of Great Britain and
Italy.
