PRESIDENT HARDING DEAD
In Sail Francisco on the night of
August 2nd, the, iChief Executive of
the •Onitec}. States died very Suddenly,
while'•in the Midst ' of'a'conversation
withi
h s family.. Physicians give.
the cause of death as apoplexy. •
It has often been said that the
strength of the'so11 passes into its
sons, President Harding was one of
these sons as many Presidents have
been. , He was born in Morirow coun-
ty, Ohio, on the 2nd of November
1865. His father was a -Scotch phys-
ician and Warren Gamaliel Harding
was the eldest of eight children. He
was intensely ambitious, worked early.
in the morning and late at "1119114 in
order to put himself through school.
Then although a Republican in poli-
tics he obtained a position in a Demo -
antic paper 'ants :made 'good in the
newspaper sphere. In fact he became
ro useftil to his employer that even
the heated political controversies that
enlivened every •day, could not earn
hhim his dismissal,. � .
'In 1884, he bouglit.a little paper of
his orvn and then, probably' was laid
the foundation of his .great career.
President Harding retained control of
this paper, The Star, until June, 1923.
He stepped into polities naturally
enough as the owner and editor of a
very successful paper. In 1014 he
was elected to the United. States Senn
ate by a substantial majority, n7 fact
polling g 73,000 votes ahead oq the
nearest Candidate,. During the' war
he was a strong supporter of -all war
policies and an ardent critic of all war
abstractionist,.. 'Then came Ineanon-
inatio) for the Presidency as a eons
promise candidate.
Mxs, Harctintg' is said to hhad a
premonition that lieu husbaveastd's as'-
duous duties would lead 'to a break-
down and death, Her fear was ful-
filled. President Harding never
spared himself in lits three years of
office, Ire' gave lavishly of his
strength to his country until he finally
broke down,
Vice -President Coolidge, hie micees-
sor, is also a farmer, takes an actin()
interest iix:farm problems all the time
end bus a very modern establislunent•
vrhere he spends every possible mo-
ment he•oan spare. from his duties,
It is no exaggeration to say that
the tyhele civilized world mourns the
dead President, The British Cenat
has gone into mourning for a week,
and funeral- services will be held it
