PROFESSOR WOULD CRAWL 100 MILES. TO PROVE POINT
Nebraskan Says Story Of Poets Adventure Was
 Not Fiction

LINCOLN, Neb., August 17.-Prof. J. T. House of the Nebraska State Normal school plans to crawl 100 miles Cn his hands and knees with out food just to show his English class of skeptical young women that 1t can be done.
 lessor when he said that "The Story of Hugh Glass" a poem by John G.. Neihardt, Nebraska's poet laureate, was founded on actual fact, and they told him sc.
 Glass was a trapper and hunter In the Black Hills. In 1923 he was badly mussed up by a grizzly bear and was left alone to die by com panion, who became fearful.
 Whereat, Glass, although hampered by a broken leg and other wounds, crawled 100 miles through the rough wilderness to a frontier fort, taking days for the Journey and living on such roots and berries as he could find. The Neihardt club, of which Professor House is president. re- gently journeyed to the spot whence he started and erected rock monument there.
 The professor isn't going to break leg for the experiment., but
 Some of the students and others I have met" he declared, "say that story is poetic legendry. l propose to prove it can be done. l am not In as good physical condition as Glass, but he was 60 when he did 1t and I am only 50.

Chased, when In the senate rs q
conservative, President Harding did
not depart markedly from conserva-
tive lines when in the White House,
though his supporters always said Re
was as progressive as the good of the
country warranted and as conditions
permitted. He, like President Roose-
Welt, had n great coal miners strike on
his hands, and labored hard and with
Il measure of success to bring it to a
peaceful and just end.
Arms Limitation Conference.
The outstanding accomplishment OF
his administration was the great inter-
national conference for the limitation
of armament held in Washington, open
ing on Armist!ce day, November ii,
1921. At his i~nstigatlon the confer
ence was authorized by congress and
after feeling out the big powers and
finding them agreeable he issued lnvi-
tatlons to Great Britain, France, Bel
GUM, Italy, Japan, China, the Meth
erlands and Portugal. Each country
sent some Of It's most eminent states
men as delegates, those Of the United
States being Secretary Of State
Hughes, chairman of the conference;
Senators Lodge Of Massachusetts and
Underwood of Alabama, and ex-Secre-
tary of State Ellhu Root.
The conference adjourned February
g., 1922, after negotiating these
treaties:
A covenant of limitation to naval
armament between the United States,
Great Britain, France, Japan and Italy.
A treaty between the same powers
as to the use Of submarines and nox-
iOus gases In warfare.
A treaty between the United States,
Great Britain, France and japan re-
lating to their insular possessions and
their insular dominions In the Pacific,
with a declaration reserving American
rights in inundated territory.
\ treaty between the nine powers In

the conference relating To principles
and policies TO be followed In matters
concerning China.
A treaty between the nine powers
relating to Chinese customs tariff. Be-
cause France refused to consider the
limitation Of land armament at the
present time, that part of the confer
ence fell through. But what it did
achieve was considered q great step
toward the attainment Of world peace.
The treaties were soon ratified by the
United States senate and the British
parliament, and the other nations fol-
lowed suit, though for q long time it
was feared France would not accept
the pacts. However, President Hard
ing lived to see them ratified 10y the
French chamber and senate.
Favored Entering World Court.
Mr.. Harding had not been long in
the White House before II appeared
that he did not favor entire isolation
OF the United States from European
affairs, but believed this country
would have TO do Its part in the res
toration of Europe to peace and sta
bility. This feeling became more evil
dent early in 1923 when he proposed
that America should accept member
ship in the International Court Of JUS
tice which had been founded under
the auspices Of the League Of Nations.
The President was as insistent as ever
that this country should keep out Of
the league, but believed the court was
or would be independent of the greater
organization. Against the advice of
some leaders Of his party, he reiterated
this advice on several occasions, and
his plan formed the subject Of some
Of his addresses on his last and fatal
trip through the West. He did not
think 1t would split his party, and
boldly continued to advocate 1t. Not
withstanding this, II was assumed to

be almost a certainty that President
Harding would be renominated In the
Republican national convention Of
1924.
Mr.. Harding's home life was ideal
save that he had no children. He and
Mrs. Harding. who was Miss Florence
Killing Of Marion, were devoted to each
other and she was always his true
helpmGte, both In Ohio and in Wash
ington. In the national capital Mrs.
Harding quickly made herself loved
by all with whom she came In contact,
and during the Western trip she was
more eager even than the President
to meet and mix with all kinds of
people.

Sketch of President
WarrenG G. harding's Life

Warren Gamaliel Harding, twenty
ninth president Of the United States,
was born November ., 1865, on his
grnndfather's farm just outside the
village Of Blooming Grove, in Morrow
county. Ohio. He was descended from
two pioneer American families, hardy
Holland Dutch on the one side and lib
e~rty-loving Scotch on the other. His
father, DR.. George Z. Harding, Is still
a practicing physician In Marion,
O., despite his advanced age Of seven
ty-nine years. His mother was Phoebe
Elizabeth Dickerson Harding.
Mr.. Harding was q self-made man In
the best Of the phrase. He
worked on his grandfather's farm and
attended the village school until he
was fourteen years old, and then he
entered the Ohio Central college at
Iberia. He worked his way through
that institution by cutting corn, paint
ing his n%eighbors' barns and helping
on the grading Of the roadbed Of the
IT. g. 0. c. railroad. He also played in
the village band and was editor OF the
college paper.
When he graduated from the col
lege, Warren went to work in the VIII
lage printing office. At the time he
was nineteen years old, his father
moved to Marion with the family and
there aided Warren financially in gain.
Ing control Of the Marion Star, Of
which he was publisher until after he
assumtd the office Of president Of the
United States. Already he knew how
to set type and to do all the other
duties Of a printer, and when the limo
type was introduced he learned to OPP
crate that machine. Always he car
rled as q pocket piece the printers
rule he used in those days.
The Stax was his Idol and he was
very proud Of 1t and Of the more than
friendly relations that existed be-
tween him and his employees. There
was never a strike on the paper, and

ADOut IUuI tSEu yea4S ago he instituted
a proft-sharing plan whereby the en-
ployees received dividends that were
paid them in the form of stock In the
paper. Mr.. Harding was identified
up in Marion as it grew from a town
OF 1000 to q city Of more than 10000.
lie was q director In a bank and in
several manufacturing companies, and
was a trustee of Trinity Baptist
church.
His Rise In Politics.
AS editor and publisher of a lively
Republican paper it was inevitable
that Mr.. Harding should take an ac-
tive interest In politics, and his attain
ments brought him to the front in the
state. He was a member of the Ohio
senate from 1900 to 1904, and then
served as lieutenant governor Of the
state. In 1910 he was the Republican
nominee for governor, but was defeat
ed. In 1915 he was sent TO the United
States senate, serving until 1920, when
he resigned TO make the campaign for
the presidency. In the ~preconvention
campaign that year he had been
looked on as one Of the possible nomi-
nees for the high office, but his defeat
In the primaries for election Of dele.
gates from Ohio seemed TO spoil his
chances. However, the conservative
leaders Of the Republican party pre-
vailed 10 the gathering In the Chicago
Coliseum. and Mr.. Harding was nomi-
mated. His campaign was based large
ly on opposition to American partici-
patton In the League OF Nations, and
was so successful that In the election
OF November a he received 404 cleo
toral votes to 127 for James NJ. Cox,
the Democratic nominee. He was in
.augurated March 4, 1921, with a de-
gree OF simplicity In the ceremonies
dhat pleased the American people.
