Talks to the Nation


Heretofore the presidents ad-
the nation by telegraph and pub
lished in the daily papers, but on
this trip they are being radioed, and
he is receiving kilograms daily from
people in far away cities like New
York and New Orleans, from friends
saying they sat on their porches and
heard his speaking as distinctly as
if he were present.
Another feature that has never
been accomplished before is making
telephone connections with the
switchboards in the cities as soon as
the train stops, and enabling mem
bers of the party to talk to people
all about the city and to get the long
distance service to Washington or
as far away as such service reaches

it in the natural way.
Seeing Utah First
The Presidential party reached
Ogden in the morning and nearly the
whole city turned out to welcome
him. The trip to Salt Lake was
made by autos, and nearly the whole
distance was lined with people to|
greet them. Children were banked
along the way under banners that
read, "Our Best Crop" and this
made great hit with the President.
In Salt Lake City they gave him
such hearty applause that he stop
ped his car to acknowledge it at !
times, and to say that he was sur
orised and delighted, and that while
he had understood that Salt Lake
had population of 100000, he now
believed it numbered million, and
he best people on earth. The great
.hrongs of children that greeted him
and his delight in meet
ng them, makes him impress the
lation as children's president and

To the White House detail of the
United States Secret Service, q
branch of the Treasury Department
authorized by law to safeguard the
currency and the President, fall vir-
tually all of the arrangements for q
| Presidential trip. A Secret Service
man visits in advance every city at
| which the President is scheduled to
stop. He interviews the chairman
of the local committee upon arrange
ments, looks over the schedule of
events planned, demands that the
unreasonable and minor functions be
eliminated, and he also shows an in
terest in the number of the welcom-
ing committee that expects to greet
the President at the train. In many
instances the local reception COM
mittee consists of two or three hun
dred persons, every one of whom ex-
poets to board the Presidents private
car to welcome him to "our city"
The numbers of these officials greet
ers, therefore, are made reasonable.
The advance Secret Service man
also visits the local chief of police,
to make sure that ample police pro-
lection will be accorded the Presi-
dent and that the police themselves
will be capable of handling the
crowds. If he Hardings are to stop
at a hotel-and on account of the
comparatively greater freedom it
gives them than when they are the
guests of strangers they prefer hotel
accommodations in cities they visit
unless there are particularly init
mate friends to put them up-the
Secret Service man inspects the
rooms and kitchens and makes care
full inquiry as to its employees. He
even arranges for the elevator that
shall be waiting to take the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding to their
floor at the moment of their arrival.

rangements by the Secret Service,

cleared for them despite the fact
that they may be caught in strug-

Radio on Board
On the Hard ding transcontinenta
train the presence of the telephone
and radio experts will be an innova-
tion. The former will arrange fol
the connection of four telephone
wires run directly into the news
paper correspondents cars at the
larger stops so that the representa-
tives of the press associations may
get connection with their branch
offices and leased wires as soon as
the train arrives. AS for the radio
expert, il suitable apparatus is COM
pleted in time, he will install equip
ment on the rear platform Of the
Presidents private car capable of
throwing Mr.. Harding's voice by
loud speakers" to the far edges of
the crowds that gather at the sche-
duled stops of the special train.
AS may be very we'll understood,
the noise of switching engines and
children's voices and the converse
ton in the crowd unable to hear the
speaker render it difficult to hear a
rear platform speaker beyond a few
feet. 1t is even probable that ar
rangements will be made in some
cities where the President delivers
a short rear platform speech to
broadcast his voice by radio just as
is now done in important addresses
delivered in convention halls and be-
fore large indoor gatherings.
Thus far nothing has been said
of arrangements that are made for
party in cities where Mr.. Harding
is scheduled to spend a few hours
and deliver a specially prepared adj
dress.

Diver Sees phantom Sentry"
on Deck of Sunken
British Warship.
BY International News Service.

EASTBOGRNE, England, Feb. 26.
-"Semper fidelis faithful,
even in death-this is the motto of
the United States marine corps, and
In spirit it has been the motto of
the phantom sentry" of H. M. s..
Ariadne, a British cruiser which
has been lying at the bottom of the
North Sea for the last five years.
Recently the Ariadne was mined
and blown up as a menace to navi-
cation, it's hull having risen nearer
the surface constantly since 1t was
sunk by a German submarine five
years ago.
Dan Homet, a Glasgow diver,
went into the depths of the sea to
place the dynamite charge which
blew up the Ariadne. Homet de-
clares that when he went on the
deck of the sunken ship he found
a marine. supported by a portion of
the ship. standing on though on
duty, his rifle, with bayonet fixed,
grasped in his hand.
The phantom sentry was left
undisturbed, and his body probably
floated on out to sea with the
wreckage of the old cruiser

AT LAST

II there Is any good reason why thu
House should not approve the Norris
resolution regarding the more prompt
meeting OF Congress and inauguration
OF the President after election, as this
Senate has done. II is yet to be discov.
cred. The Norris resolution provides
that Congress shall meet on the first
Monday In January instead OF eleven
months later. after many OF the peo-
pie who voted have forgotten all
about election, and II provides for the
Inauguration of the President on the
third Monday in January instead of in
March.
Why this change from the plan ar
ranged some 235 years ago has not
been made before is one of the I'M
fathomable mysteries of the country.
Everyone is familiar with the reasons
obtaining when the date for Congress
to sit and for the Inauguration OF
president, was set. Slow counting Of
returns. slow transportation-and all
the rest Of it. But today, of course,
when election bets are paid within
As hours after the votes are cast,
and when President-elect could
take a little jaunt to Europe and
back inside OF two weeks, allowing
time for him to stop on the other
side and have a congratulatory chat
with the King of England if so dis
posed, those old reasons no longer
exist.
And while we arc about it we
might express the hope that when
presidents are elected by recording
Of votes automatically by thought
and when newly-elected |
members of congress may speed to
by airplane before !

ength of time planned by the Norris /
resolution will not be used or mis-

A TRAGEDY.

The boys who are Il and Is yea RS
of age will be arraigned in juvenile
court" This sentence. taken from
the days news, presents a picture
of the scene of tragedy. 1t might
be made worse only by making it
read, The girls, 2 and 10 years of
age, will appear in court"
The point here made is not one of
criticism Of system by which young
offenders must be taken to court. 1t
1t not argued that they must not be
shown the seriousness of their Of
fcnse-and no personal reference is
intended. The tragedy lies in the
fact that boys and girls do grow UP
without learning, just as thoroughly
as they learn to walk, the inviolabil-
ity of the right to personal property
possessed by everyone. Children do
not learn not to steal by being
taught from books. The lessons i'm
pressed upon children most effectively
do not come from words spoken to
them. A child does not learn to use
profanity or filthy language because
some evil-minded person sits down
and teaches that child to talk that
way. 4 child learns bad or good
habits from association, from what
he sees and hears. The things that
he learns in this way arc the things
that become second nature to him.
sAs child does not learn TO swear
because he is taught to swear. so he
does not learn to steal because he is
taught to steal.
He learns to steal because he sees
about him greed. disregard for the
property Of others, deceit. careless
ness in the small matters of honesty
and square dealing. A child may
have the best home in the world. the
most honest and conscientious of
yet he may grow up
with twisted ideas of honesty in |
spite of the right principles he has
been taught at home or at school.
This, because of the things he learns |
not through deliberate teaching, but
