Premier Baldwin Finding Publicity New Experience

LONDON, July 16.--fBy Asso- ciated Press.) - Stanley Baldwin, Britain's new pilot of the Ship of State. has won the admiration and goodwill of all classes by his simple, unostentatious manner and his out. standing human qualities. He is es- pecially popular among the British and American newspaper men, who have found him approachable and unfailingly courteous. He has none of the aloofness. tho superior man. ncr or severe pride of position which one is apt to associate with prime ministers.
 The journalists fondness for the premier is reciprocated by MT. Bald- win, for he realizes that his sudden rise to fame is due in no small meas ire to the sympathetic. attitude adopted by them toward him.
 At recent banquet given by the British newspaper men in his honor, MT. Baldwin said "I am conscious more than ever how the creation of reputation really is your preroga- tive and your prerogatfve alone. Whatever reputation may have to- day beg to thank you for it from the bottom of my heart"
 The prime minister referred to some of the remarkable qualities att tributed to him by the british and

 'I have noticed in my brief car ger in public life" said he. that some men like the limelight and some do not. I have always found that wherever the limelight Is brightest there Is always a corres- bonding black shadow close to 1t. and I have hitherto been able to step into that shadow whenever the lime light was turned on. But 1 find now that cannot escape 1t. I feel very much like small insect under q microscope. Everything that do or think or say is laid bare.
 'I notice lately that certain per- scyering papers have succeeded in dragging from obscurity my fathers coachman and my old nurse. I am tlIankful to say that the revelations they have succeeded in dragging from them are such as not to blast my career yet.

Arrives at Fairbanks, Farthest Northern Point Ever
 Reached by President.
TAXING RIDE TODAY OUT OVER RICHARDSON TRAIL
Presidential Party Will Re- turn to Seward Over
 Government Railroad.

FAIRBANKS, July 16.]Somewhat fatigued by the 400-mile trip into Interior Alaska and fearful of low water fer the steamer in the Tam ana River, President and Mrs. Harding, shortly before noon today, called off the contemplated 90-mile trip over the Richardson Trail and instead will return directly to Sew ard from here, leaving this after noon.
 FAIRBANKS, July 61.-(By the Associated Press. )--Just before his arrival here last night, President Harding told members of his party that the rail trip. Seward to Fair banks, had given him a new vision of Alaska. He said he had been impressed not only by the match less scenery but by the wonderous possibilities of the great valley re- gions. heavily forested and covered by luxuriant vegetation, wild grasses and bright flowers, pink, blue and deep purple.
 President Harding has reached point farther north than any Ameri- can President and with his arrival here Sunday night he was within 150 miles of the Arctic Circle. His arrival marked the end of two and one-half days ride over the Alaska Railroad
 Makes Short Trail Trip.
 Having reached the northern end of steel the President proposed today to go further into interior Alaska by automobile. About the time peo- pie in New York and Washington are having dinner tonight and the people of the west are putting work for the day. President and Mrs. Harding and a portion of their party will start from here on an automobile trip of 90 miles over the Richardson Trail to McCarty on the Tanana River. The ride will take five hours.
 It was originally intended the Presidential party should go over the trail 320 miles to Chitina and there take train. on the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad to the port of Cordova, but the trip was abandoned, as there is possi- bility of it being too strenuous, much to the regret of Mrs. Harding who has been urging the trip. As now planned, the party, on reaching McCarty, will go aboard the river steamer Gen. Jacobs and steam down river to Nenana where Tuesday evening it will board the train for the 24-hour return trip to Seward. Secretary Wallace and U. S. Forester Greeley, however, will make the en- tire trail trip.
