history.
Mr.. Harding came of hardy pio-
.neer stock. He was born at Bloom
ing Grove. Morrow county, Ohio,
November 2, 1865. the son of a
try doctor, George T. Harding. Like
most country boys he wen to u
try school between morning and
night chores and later attended col
lege at Liberia, Ohio. He tried
school teaching for a year, but hav-
ing had a smell of printers ink
while sticking type for his college
paper, the lure drew him into the
newspaper field.
His family meantime had moved
to Marion, in ar adjoining county,
where he obtained his first news
paper job, and where his life inter-
ests were centered thereafter. Mr..
Harding's ambition was to boone a
publisher, and it was realized at the
age of nineteen, when he bid In the
Marion Star at a sherif's sale. The
! paper was purchased under a heavy
mortgage and his friends have often
said that the struggles and hard
ships which were his in making this
paper a success had much to do in
! fashioning his character and devel-
oping a broad patience and toler-
! nee which were his chief charac-
| teristics.
Whatever his other attachments,
Mr.. H%arding's greatest pride was in
his professional accomplishments
and training as a printer, editor and
publisher. Nor did the interests an6
exacting duties of his high Office
serve to dull he delight in pottcrillg
about a composing room. On his
first trip back home after his inau-
guration, he went to the Star Office,
pulled off his coat, rolled UP his
sleeves, borrowed a chew of tobac-
co and helped make up" the paper.
His luck charm was a printers rule,
carried always in a vest pocket.
As his ambition had carried him
into the ranks of publishers. so fancy
took him into the realm of politics.
From the first he was an ardent par
tisan, and his insistence upon wear
ing a stove pipe hat, the badge
Of support of James c.. Blaine, while
a reporter on a Democratic news-
paper brought him a sharp repri-
i6and from his chief, who held it to
be inconsistent for a worker on a
Democratic paper to so prominently
display the symbol OF his Republic
canisIn.
The future President S ability as a
stump speaker won him early recog-
milton from his local party leaders.
Marion county then was in the
Democratic column and he under
took to switch it to the Republican
party. but his first effort at office on
his party ticket resulted in a de-
feat, though he commanded an I'M
expected vote.

HARD|NG'S ILLNESS WAS
LIKE THAT OF WILSON'S

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3:-(By The
Associated PrSss)-There was a
striking parallel between the cir
cumstances which led up to Presi-
dent Harding's fatal illness and
those which. preceded the physical
collapse of President Wilson during
a western speaking trip in 1919.
Mr.. Wilson had left Washington
with the avowed purpose of carrying
to the people the gospel Of peace
as he conceived it to be bound up
in American participation in the
League of Nations. In the case of
President Harding it was well known
among his friends hat he went into
the west determined to explain to the
people his conception of world peace
as Ringing on American participa-
ton in the world court.
When he cancelled the remainder
of his trip at Wichita, Kansas, Mr..
Wilson had travelled $500 miles in
the heat of late summer, and had
delivered more than forty speeches.
When Mr.. Harding surrendered to
the order of his physician al San
Francisco he had travelled 1900
miles, and had made upward of six
ty speeches.
BY another strange freak of cir
oumstances, each was near to an ac-
cident near Seattle, just before he
reviewed the Pacific fleet there dur
ing his trip. A launch bearing the
President and Mrs. Wilson away
from the Seattle pier was rammed
and nearly overturned by another
small boat. while in the case of
President Harding the naval trans
port Henderson, bringing him and
Mrs Harding back from Alaska,
rammed a destroyer just outside
Seattle harbor.
When he was taken i'll, Mr.. Will
son was sixty-two years old. Mr..
Harding was ~fifty-seven.

CHIEF FILLHOWER MEETS A
BOYHOOD FRIEND BY CHANCE

JAMESBURG, Aug. 3.-Separated
for over twenty-five years and with
out any knowledge of the others
whereabouts, two boyhood chums

man, of 100 Irving street, Railway,
came to Jamesburg yesterday in re-
Spouse to an advertisement and met
Chief of Police Gustav Fillhower,
through H. A. Edwards. at borough

ing that each knew the other and the
local chief of police was first to
question the identity of Mr.. Hoffman.
It was found he was the person who
had played many childhood games
with his friend of long ago.
A pleasant quarter of an hour was
spent in reminiscent chatter of their
boyhood days. Both thought the

Warren G.. Harding brought to the
Presidency an infinite patience and
kindness in dealing with public
questions and men which enabled
him to handle the problems of gov
eminent without stress and worry
which had handicapped many of his
predecessors.
Whatever else historians may say
of him there probably will be little
dispute that few chief executives
came to office in peace time facing
problems more complex in their ma
ture or greater in number. All in
ternational affairs were unbalanced
as never before, with many princi-
pal settlements of the Great War still
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-08-03

to be effectuated. At home the
work of reconstruction had only just
begun, with business depressed, ag-
riculture PROSTATE and unemploy-
ment 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
counsel and an intimate knowledge
of the processes of government &C
quired in his services in the senate,
he was the type of mar needed for
the job at such a time.
Preaching upon every occasion
the doctrine of A~mericanism, he set
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-08-03

his face resolutely against "Entang-
ling Alliances" While thus adher-
ing to what he was pleased to term
the principles of the founding faith
ers, 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 settle
ments of many vexing world ques-
lions. Its chief contribution was
the Washington Arms conference at
which the principal powers conve-
nanted to limit the size of their
navies and thus lift from tax weary
peoples the burden of maintaining
the race for naval supremacy.
Along with the proffer of coun-
sci in effecting world settlements
went an insistance that American
rights be recognized.
In polished phrase, but with a d.
r~ectness 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 re-
specting the rights of the other ma
tions, 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 con-
gress, Mr.. Harding preferred the
role of counsellor rather than die
tator, he speedily removed any
doubt that his gift of patience de-
noted any lack of purpose once he
had charted a course. Thus he told
congress that soldiers bonus legis-
%lation either should carry the means
of financing or be postponed, and
when the legislators put aside his
advice he promptly vetoed the bill
they SEN him.
His ~tenacity of purpose was fur
ther exempliied in his continual
pounding for economy in public
expenditures and again in his in
~sistence that congress pass the mer-
chant marine aid bill with a view
to curtailing the continual drain
which the operation of the war-built
commercial fleet had become upon
the treasury. His greatest single
effort in the field of domestic Iegis-
lation was in behalf of this mea-
sure.
Not infrequently Mr.. Harding was
called upon to play the role of
peacemaker in governmental affairs.
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
reduction of more than half a bill
lion in the nations tax burden.
Likewise, his counsel settled the
long controversy between the House
and Senate on the question Of AM
erican valuation in the tariff law.
He proposed in its place a flexible
tariff arrangement under which the
tariff commission was given author
ity with his approval to increase or
lower rates within prescribed limi-
tations. Upon signing the bill, the
President declared it constituted the
greatest tariff reform in American
