WARREN G. HARDING

Warren Gamaliel Harding, TWEEN
ty-ninth President of the United
States, has gone to his last great re-
ward. In his death the people OF this
Republic have lost what is more
than a president-a man and friend.
Today the people of the United
States are not concerned about what
historians fay say of Warren G.
Harding. They are thinking with
deep sense of grief of their personal
loss. They have known him as fell
low man elevated to the highest Of
flee in the land and unspoiled by
power or fame They have seen him
performing his high duty simply, yet
with dignity, revealing through it
all his intensely human attributes.
Whatever his fellow citizens may
have thought of his public policies,
down in their hearts they have res
pected, admired and loved him. None
could withstand the persuasion and
charm of his wonderful personality.
Warren G. Harding died as he
would have wished to die-in the har-
ness. His fatal illness came just as
he was nearing the completion of an
arduous trip conceived with the idea
of lettering conditions in far off AL
aska. Who knows what was in his
mind, when as physicians prepared to
examine him under the X-Ray, he
said, $50 ahead, / have nothing to
conceal?
The New York Times speaks truly
when it says: eff President Harding
could speak to his countrymen today,
he would bid them be of good cheer
for the future of their Government.
He never set himself as a superman,
indispensable to the national we'll
being. His favorite conception of
the American Government was of a
great institution less dependent up
on any individual than upon the drive
behind it of an intelligent and hon.
est democracy. As Garfield said in
Wall Street in 1865, The Govern
ment lives on though it's Chief at
the moment is stricken down. The
sorrow which the nation feels at the
death of a well-loved President need
not today be tinged with apprehen-
sion. The lesson of Mr.. Harding's
career would not rightly be taken to
heart if it did not help US to feel that
the foundations of our Government
are laid too deep and broad to be
shaken by even such shock as that
caused by his passing from the
earthly scene"
a nation that can produce man
like Warren G. Harding will not fail
him now. 1t will continue to grow
in the fullness Of the ideals he foster
ed, its people bigger and better be-
cause of his having lived.

ALAsKA's WEATHER.

Governor Scott G. Bone of Alas
ka does not picture the territory
in his annual report as a smiling
land of sunshine and plenty, but
he does give a detailed account of
weather conditions for the year
the document covers which should
be of help to lay the popular mis-
conception concerning Alaska's
climate, which is that of ice, cold
and snow are its principal com
ponents.
December, 1921, and January,
1922, were unseasonably warm in
Alaska, but the temperatures
which Prevailed in some parts of
the territory would have been
equally unreasonable in New
York. In the southeast section
the temperature was above freez-
ing most of the time. New York.
mean temperature for January
is 30 degrees and for December "a
degrees.
The Alaskan climate presents
wide differences. For the twelve
months from July, 1921, to June,
1922, Barrow, looking out on the
Arctic ocean, recorded its lowest
temperature at 40 degrees below
zero. AT Eagle, further south
and inland, situated in the Yukon
valley, the lowest temperature in
the territory for the year was re
corded, 81 degrees below zero.
Yet there were half a dozen re-
cording stations in Alaska where
the coolest winter day was warm
er than the coolest winter day in
Chicago or Minneapolis. At Ju-
neau, the capital of the territory,
the temperature did not go below
zero at any time in the year.
In the summer of 1921 there
were numerous days in Alaska
when Palm Beach suit could
have been worn in comfort in
most parts of the territory. AT
Chitina, in the copper valley, the

curry had touched "a degrees be-
low zero, it rose to So above.
AT Rampant, which, like Eagle,
lies in the Yukon valley, IS de-
grees, the highest figure for the
summer in the territory, was re
corded. Barrow, on the Arctic
ocean, basked in the warmth of
rs degrees.
The worst thing that can be
said about the climate of Alaska
concerns the annual rainfall at
ketchikan. In the year covered
by the report, 157.55 inches of
rain and snow fell That is pre-
cipitation unequalled on the ANA

He is not great who scorns life's
little things,
The humble tasks which make
the common day
Brighter, small courtesies along
the way,
A kindly smile, CHEEKY word
that springs
Up from the heart, and with its
coming brings
Something of happiness, as
might ray
Of sunlight shining on a storm
tossed bay,
Or the faint echo of voice that
sings.
He is not great who scorns the
little things,
However large the tasks which
he may do,
If to simplicity he be untrue,
Though he should win the
Haunting flag Of fame,
And though he should ascend to
sit with kings
He has won nothing save an
