LIFE OF HARDING
One OF HARD WORK
Late President Noted for Com
/. mendable Characteristics

Washington. Aug. 3.-The life OF
Warren G.. Harding, late president, Is
a story of hard work and steady an
plication to duty combined with per-
sonal characteristics that savored OF
the highest form of manhood and
citizenship.
Was Infinitely Patient
Warren G. Harding brought to the
presidency an infinite patience and
kindness in dealing with public oues-
tfons and men, which enabled him to
handle the. problems of government
without the stress and worry which
had handicapped many of his pre-
decessors.
Whatever else historians may say
of him there probably will be little
dispute that few chief executives came
to office in peace time facing prob
lens more complex in their nature or
greater in number. All international
affairs were unbalanced as never be-
fore, with many principal settlements
of the Great War still to be effectuat-
ed. At home the work of reconstruc-
ton had only just begun, with bust
ness depressed, agriculture PROSTATE
and unemployment general.
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 desire for coun-
sci and an intimate knowledge of the
processes of government 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 prin-
ciples of the founding fathers, he
nevertheless lent the moral assistance
Of the government in the efforts to
bind up the wounds Of the world.
That influence was once declared 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 settlements of many
vexing world questions. Its chief
contribution was the Washington arms
conference at which the principal
powers cocvenanted to limit the size
of their navies and thus lift from tax
weary peoples the burden of maintain
ing the race for naval supremacy.
in effecting world settlements went an
insistance that American rights be
recognized In polished phrase, but
with a directness of expression that
was not to be misconstrued, the world
was given to understand from the very
first of the Harding administration
that the United States, freely respect
ing 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.
While in his dealings with congress
Mr.. Harding preferred the role of
counsellor rather than dictator, he
speedily removed any doubt that his
gift of patience denoted any lack of
purpose once he had charted a course.
Thus he told congress that soldiers
bonus legislation either should carry |
poned, and when the legislators put |
aside his advice he promptly vetoed |
the bill they sent him.
His tenacity of purpose was further
exemplified in his continual pounding
for economy In public expenditures
and again in his insistance that con-
gress pass the merchant marine aid
bill with a view to curtailing the con-
tinual drain which the operation of
the war-built commercial feet had
become upon the treasury. His great
est single effort in the field of domes-
tic legislation was in behalf of this
measure.
Was Peacemaker
Not infrequently Mr.. Harding was
called upon to play the role of
peacemaker in governmental affairs y
He interviewed in a dispute between
congress. and the treasury as to the
form general tax revision was to take,
and the program he approved was
carried out in the main with a reduc-
ton of more than half a billion in the
nations tax burden.
Likewise, his counsel settled the
ong controversy between the house
md senate on the question of Ameri- Z
AN valuation IN the tariff law. He
proposed in its place flexible tariff 9
under which the tariff !
commission was given authority with '
lis approval to increase or lower rates n
