Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-"San
Francisco knows how is the tribute
former President Taft is reported to
have paid the city by the Golden Gate
after the particularly brilliant enter
tainment rendered him when he was
the nations chief executive.
President Harding, confined today to
his sick bed. could, with one addition.
make the same statement, for truth
fully. 1t may be said, San Francisco
knows how to keep quiet when sick
President is within its confines.
This entire city, eagerly hoping for
the quick recovery of the President and
cheered by the reassuring news from
his physicians, is doing its meager bit
toward that hope-it Is keeping quiet
According to the physicians attending
Mr.. Harding, the one thing which he
requires most Is undisturbed rest. To
obtain rest he must have quiet. So, in
order that he may have that which will
aid him most in the grim battle he Is
fighting. an otherwise unduly noisy city
has, almost overnight, become q metrop-
oils of silent footballs and whispering
voices. The quiet is apparent every
where. 1t is the only way half mil
lion can render tangible aid to their
stricken chief, so they are doing It,
Moreover. it isn't a resentful muffiing of
strident sounds impelled by fear of a
policeman's club. but a cheerful, willing
silence, self-imposed in a sincere desire
to help.
The sick room in which the Presi-
dent lies abed is on the eighth floor
of the Palace Hotel. a hostelry which
for almost three-quarters of a CEN
tury has been a landmark in the
gayeties and tragedies of San Fran
cisco. 1t is a corner room which
looks down upon a section of Mark ct
street, which ordinarily is the noisi-
est, the busiest and the most traffic
laden spot in the city. Had the
President been well he could have
looked down. at any hour of the day
or night. upon a motley cosmopolitan
throng of passing thousands, upon
hordes of hurrying. rafting. siren
sounds. exhaust putting trucks. pleas
ure cars and horse drawn vehicles.
Today hardly a sound drifts up to
