, ing the debris has been undertaken by

erty owners of the devastated district.
> A conference of silver producers of
the United States, Canada, Mexico and
Latin-America, to meet at Reno, New,
Sept. 4, has been called by Senator
Oddie of Nevada, chairman of the spe-
cial Senate committee on gold and sill

Mrs. Warren G. Harding, wife of

WASHINGTON

Wilson, whose testimony may be
sought in the Morse trial, was pre-
pared in the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court at the request of counsel
for the defense.
Reports that Woodrow Wilson is
contemplating a visit to the California
homes of his daughters, Mrs. William
G. McAdoo and Mrs. Francis B. Sayres,
were denied by close associates of the
former president. While Wilson's
health permits him to take motor rides
and to go to the theater weekly, it is
felt that a 3,000-mile rail trip would
prove too much of IL strain.
The wreckage of thirty freight cars
were burned near San Bernardino,
Calf, as a means of clearing the track
after Union Pacific freight train
loaded with cement and coal ran away
ON the Cajon pass and, at speed es-
timated up to eighty miles an hour,
left the track. Two trainmen were
killed.
The Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany filed suit in the District Supreme
Court for an injunction against the
Secretary of the Interior to prevent
the threatened cancellation of a grant
for eighteen sections of land in Wyo-
ming. The contention is made that
even if the sections are mineral, the
government failed to make the dis
covery in time and may not now take
them from the railroad company.
A legislative program calling for ad-
justed compensation for World war
veterans and affecting their rehabili-
tation, hospital care and insurance
Will be pressed upon Congress when it
convenes in December by the disabled
American veterans of the World war.
The program is based on recommen-
dations adopted by the third annual
convention of the organization at
Minneapolis, MINI.
Commenting on the election to the
Senate of Magnus johnson, Farmer
Labor candidate, Chairman Adams of
the Republican national committee in
a statement issued in Washington, de-
clared that sin a general way, the re-
suit in Minnesota was voice of pro-
test against conditions temporarily af-
fecting the farming interests adverse
ly." Agricultural conditions are bound
to improve, he said, adding that the
American farmer "can be depended on
in the long run to support the cause
of good government, sound economics
and stable institutions"

Blackman, sued him for an absolute

lThree Congress Heights mothers
are not on speaking terms with
anybody today. On each Of three
mantlepieces reposes silver cup,
and everybody who drops in for
the next several years will get a
complete and exhaustive history of
how the cups came to be there.
The proverbial pride Of peacocks
is cheap and tawdry in comparison
with the naughty exultation Of the
mothers.
Their babies were adjudged the
infant champions of the community
at the civic carnival held at Nichols

The winning babies of the various

Jewelry Sales Gain

LONDON, Aug. 16.-Prohibi-
ton is giving a flip to the Brit
ish diamond trade, according to
London jewel merchants, who
declare that people in the
United States-unable to spend
their money on booze-are
spending it on jewelry and
precious stones instead.
They state that lately there
has been marked demand for
precious stones of the cheaper
variety from a section of the
American public which hitherto
has not displayed any desire
for personal adornment of this
sort.

bine the dignity of the highest pub
lie station in the world with the
kindness and the simplicity typical
of our best private citizenship"
1t came with shock to the. mil
lions who had heard or read his ad-
dresses on the Inflated trip to realize
they were the final words of advice
which he had desired his fellow citi-
zens to take to heart for their guild
ance and for the betterment of their
common cause" says the Detroit
Free Press, and "thcre can be no
finer comment upon President Hard
ing's character than the fact that
his lamented death gives us no wish
that he had spoken otherwise than
he did," This opinion very closely
resembles that Of the Mobile Register
which points out sin the sorrow that
broods over the nation there is neither
creed nor politics. The people with
whom President Harding mingled on
terms of fraternity and with peculiar
understanding feel the deep personal
grief that comes only with the loss
of q friend.
line nation loved this most low
able man," And. because the "world
still is upset." the Des Moines Reg
lister insists "the eventual assessment
of Harding'S service will necessarily
be with relation to the cnormity of
the worlds problems and America
will classify, his work as honorable
and conscientious in the extreme"
His death came "at the summit of
American AMBITION the New Orleans
Times-Pickayune holds and abe died
upon the eve of great plans with the
metal of his ability as yet scarcely
tested, his place in history as yet
Uniformed. He had begun to develop
Cool, firm grasp of international
relations, calm. persistent courage
in pressing for what he deemed right
at home as well as abroad"
His Success Was Earned.
He was "the nations neighbor,"
the New York Evening World re-
calls, and "he wore himself out be-
cause he wanted to meet the demands
and expectations of his ncighbors who
wanted to entertain him." This was
typical, as the st. Paul Pioneer
Press sees it, because "he was a sim
pie man whose career from beginning

find it fashionable nowadays to
deny that equality of opportunity

| exists in the United States. Warren
G. Harding began life as a poor boy.
He earned the fortune and the dis
| tinctions which came to him. The
success of his newspaper enterprise
was an earned success. The same
may be said of his political success.
He was honored by his countrymen
because they had confidence in him
and because in other public service
| he had earned that confidence. His
career, from birth to death. was typi-
cal American" Thus his name
"goes on the scroll of unforgettable
American" continues the Minneapolis
Tribune and "history will give to
this man his rightful place in the
annals of the nation. His country
men will say that he was n true
Christian gentleman; that he had the
courage of his ideals and convictions;
that he laid his life upon the altar
of his country just as surely rs did
those who died for the flag in time
of war: that his soul radiated peace
and kindness; that to him the
humanities we're very rear and real"
The Chicago Tribune believes "he
may have averted. for this generation
Mt least. war with Japan. His death
| is loss to the nation" Many British
newspapers echo that sentiment, the
London News, for instance, declaring
Americans will need no assurance of
the sympathy of England because Mr..
Harding's tenure Of office will remain
notable in world history for the first
effective check in competitive arma-
ment was initiated by himself and
Secretary Hughes at the Washington
conference" The effect of this. as the
Westminster Gazette sees it, is that
ut laid the foundation of lasting peace
in the Pacific and set to a distracted
world its most hopeful and its most
urgent example. 1t was also Mr..
Harding's difficult, and in some ways
thankless task, to lead the European
peoples to realization of the fac,
that some of their most ardent hopes
in regard to America must be aban
doned. He had one great qualification
for that task in that he was himself
a thoroughly typical American and in
full sympathy with the viewpoint of
the mass of his fellow countrymen."
The Daily Telegraph believes it is too
soon TO analyze his position in history
but agrees 1T can be said in all sin
cerity. that in the Washington naval
treaty he has left behind him an abld
ing memorial of what one man of gooi
will and good sense can do in the
world. Humanity had talked for count
less years Of the possibilities of limit
ing ornaments, but the FACE still went
on fed by national passionS, jealousics
and suspicious" Very similar in tone
are the comments of the Manchester
Guardian. the London Times and the
majority of the leading French and
Italian newspapers.

"A good man and typical aver
age American who sacrificed himself
on the altar of duty"
That sentiment accurately sum-
mariZes the editorial expression of
nearly every newspaper in the United
States in commenting on the death of
Warren Gamaliel Harding, twenty
ninth President of the United States.
The sorrow is universal Partisan
ship has completely disappeared. From
the north and the south and the
east and the west the feeling is one
of personal bereavement. 1t was the
passage of a man who was the friend
of everyone. Customary as it is to
write the faults of our friends on
the sands and their virtues on the
tablets Of memory here is scase
where only the latter seems necessary
in the view of the American press.
The very weaknesses of the dead man
were the weaknesses which endeared
him to the peop,c-a disposition of
loyalty to his friends and to try to
please everybody and hurt no man.
Editors agree that it is too early
yet to fix his place in history. His
administrative achievements have been
many. He piloted the ship of state
through the period of postwar ad-
lustment; he insisted on making eff
fective the budget system while his
Naval Disarmament and Pacific con-
ference treaties bulk large as the va
rious writers see them but time must
give the proper perspective on this
work. Today tears blur the visage
as the eyes of America are focused
on the new-made grave in the tiny
valley of the Marion cemetery above
which the two giant elms shall keep
faithful vigil over all that remains
Of the dead chieftain. .....
