"All right, sister, answered Uncle

well, Ruth, I'll tell you this much.
want to get something about our
President off my mind. 1t may do you
a lot of good to realize it, too. The
thing that brought it to my mind was
a speech made the other night in Bos-
ton by Secretary of Labor Davis, one
Of the finest men chosen by Mr.. Hard
ing as a member of his cabinet. That
speech, coupled with my trip last
week to three northern cities and
hearing certain people criticise the
President, has set me to thinking. AS
Mr.. Davis said, the Presidents plans
seem to be worrying lots of people.
Some say all he has to do apparently
is to take a vacation in Florida. If
those people could have watched him
hard at work through the long months
as have, they would be glad he
could get much needed rest so that
he could return to his desk and face
h Of
renewed energy. Mr.. Davis said: Pres
ident Harding is probably the poor
est advertiser in the United States to-
day. The smallest corner grocer could
undoubtedly give him a big handicap
and then beat him at the game of get
ting himself "sOld" as they call it, to
the public. This is not the time of our
old and respected friend Theodore
Roosevelt who had the faculty Of let
ting folks know what he was doing,
and how fast he was doing it.
"And so it is Riddles: Every word of
that is true. Mr.. Harding is one of the
hardest working men in this country !
today. And he produces great results. |
When he works he works hard. Plans |
out every move and gets results that |
tell from one end of this big country |
to the other but he won't work with a
brass band leading him down the
street. His friends have often urged
him to let the people know just what
be was doing but his answer always
Is that the people will find out be-
cause the work will speak for itself.
That is true. Time will tell. But some
Of his critics must know now. For
hat reason I feel that it is up to those
who know and who realize what
blessing his Administration has been
% the country, to let as many people
NOW as possible.
with the election coming in 1924,
which is not very far away, many men
n his position would be giving a great Il
mount Of thought and time to the
question of being reelected. This I
would be especially true with most I
nen after one of his nearest advisers I
nd friends had announced that he
7ould be candidate for reorganization
nd election. But on this point Secre- l
airy Davis made this remark which
Ellis the whole story: J

You know, Jack, about the boy in Bic
