The President had fought and

it appeared in a more insidlous

dwell under the American flag and
to peoples in many lands for Mr..
Harding by virtue of his office, his
kindly and his lovable personality,
had become a world figure, the great
shock came to his wife, reading by
his side, but she did not collapse.
"She was shocked, of course, and
at first unable to realize that she had
lost the husband who had made up
all the interest in her life for so
many years." said General Sawyer
later.
But there was no collapse, no
hysteria. Just brave rally to face
her sorrows and the duties deYolving

she could stand up under the grief

MARKET IS WEAKER
British Exchange shows Visible Dis appointment at Turn Election is Taking,

By The Associated Press
 London, Dec. 7.--The stock ex- change this morning indicated that it was frankly disappointed with the rec suits Of the election so far announced. The markets opened weak all around and quotations were marked down in fear of selling orders which up 10 noon were not numerous.
 That the traders were in state of tension and uneasiness however, was indicated by the lowering Of prices in gilt-edged securities. The home rails sold off l to points, and correspond. ing declines were noted in the indus- trials, tho oil shares. the mining stocks and the foreign securities.
 The fear Of the market men that there would be no majority for the conservatives over tine combined par ties was indicated by the dealings in "maiorities." \ few days ago Mir. Baldwin's party was favored to return with A majority of 13O seats. but this morning the conservatives were rated al 10 less than a majority.

disturbing and harmful. His refer
 rnce to the elasticity of the present
 law IS timely. and he will receive little
 violent criticisms of what he has to say
 on this subject.
 One would like to feel, in his ad
 vocacy Of the entrance of the United
 States into the World Court. that
 President Coolidge k prepared to put
 into this attitude tnr carnostncss ii
 deserves. There can be little doubt
 but that this proposition causes him
 more concern, politically, than any
 other matter touched upon. The bonus affair was clcan-vut. \ word would and did show exactly where he stood.
 No bonus, whether provision was
 made for its payment or not. Thus what he said will be interpreted; thus he intended it. But in regard to the World Court he was aware that strong Republican leaders in various parts Of the country feel their hair stand on end when our entry into this court is mentioned. They dcnouncc it. They will have none of it. And yet. grant
 ing that President CooIidgc is a man of vision, even though it is blurred a bit by ultra conservative spectacles, he himself has shown that he, per sonally. does believe in the World Court. Moreover. there in that great chamber where he stood and delivered his message. he might have seen, out lined against the background of mem ory, the figure of the late President Harding and in his hand the pen that wrote his last solemn declaration in favor ot the entrance of this country into that Court. No man who had been as near the dead president as Calvin Coolidge has been, could stand there in that chamber, a successor to the man beloved, and fail 10 be af- fected by that vision.
 And even in the Presidents denun- citation of the League of Nations as d dead thing. thoro must have come ,o hls brain tho recognition of the fact that The samr Lragu,, whether or not it has any influence upon the Court now and whether it would have any influence upon Us were VIC to en- ter the Court, did inspire the crea- ton Of the Court and thus, out Of the presidents own mouth, comes the practical admission that the League of Nations has inspired at least one great organization-the World Court which President Coolidge uphods as worthy of our support.
 Well may respect be given the President for coming out bravely and himself in his true colors Of no matter whether or not criticism of him is inspired by his | failure to make more positiy" rccom- on matters of vital con- upru. And well may respect be given i him, loo, for adhcrlng to his promise l to follow the policies oG President 1 Harding. insofar as that Following impel"d him to stand by what may be believed are his own convictions. iu advocating adherence to the World l Court
