A Death Blow To
The Marion Star
Men of Harding's Newspaper Recall
Intimate Side of Life. The Boys
Are Greatly Grieved

MARION, O.. AT the Marion
Star news of the presidents death
was received with sorrow, for it was
here that Mr. Harding spent the best
years of his life in the profession he
most loved. Most of the employees of
the Star had been with him since
early in his newspaper career.
The boys, those who had worked
with Mr.. Harding at the type case, or
helped him fashion editorials or per-
haps collect bad account, for there
wasn't an activity in the paper that he
did not take part in, recounted today
as they sat with sorrowful faces, in
true newspaper fashion, the milestones
in the life of their beloved chief.
They told how he earned his first
dollar, of how he made known his
esteem and love for the associates
who helped him make" the Star, and
made known many intimate things
which showed the character of the
late president
George E. Mccormick, who, 20
years ago entered the Star organiza-
ton as a reporter and today fills the
managing editors chair, said:
THE world may never come to a
full understanding and appreciation
OF Mr.. Harding as man. Only those
who enjoyed the intimacy of his as
ISOLATION for Years can do that"

MATERIAL INTERESTS MAY CEMENT

BONDS-U. S. Senator Brookhart, from Iowa,
in speaking at annual picnic of Trades and Labor
Assembly in Indianapolis, predicts fusion of diff
ierent bocs such as farmers laborers' war vet
Grams, and mothers, to remedy the inequalities Of
our economic system.
Mr.. Brokhart said these groups have reached
thc common concensus that their interests are
IDENTICAL and that they have been kept apart and
at cnmty by great combinations of wealth (which
have thrived on profits and ruled in politics by
keeping these groups Of common people at each
others throats" Civilization has reached a turn
ing point 1t is universal prediction that great
changes impending
"Ths unrest is caused by the inequalities of our
economic system. These inequalities have forced
the different groups like the farm bloc labor bloc

their interests and each from its own stand
point"

SOWING AND
REAPING

The scriptural pronouncement of
reaping what one has sowed has not
always been so much in evidence in the
planting and fruition of ideas. Too
frequently the discoverer, the inventor
the man of vision is pronounced by
his contemporaries as foolish, vision
airy and impractical. 1t is a salts
faction to note the reverse of this rule
occasionally. An instance of this is
the case of the originator of the city
manager idea, himself the pioneer in
that capacity. That was in Staunton,
Va, Is Years ago Today there are
800 cities in the United tSates so op-
Grated and Chas. Edward Ashburner,
