The exact site is to bo selected by *j immittee which will include Mrs. Harding. Sufti i nt funds w ill be provided us an endowment for it: i rpetual care and upkeep. A second form of tlie memoritl will be the per muueni endowment or the Harding home on Mr \ ernen Avenue. M; rion, the front porch of whic! Vucame internationally (amour, in the campaign tha 'receded Mi. Harding's election to the Presidency ii '''20. Fully cne-quartcr of a million people visttet hcie during that period and since his death In Sat 1 anelEco on August 2nd, (here have been approx! irately thirty thousand visitors. The popular interest in tho house convinced tin : ociation's Directors that it was the Harding shrini f America and should become part of the memoria’ a Will probably be nceoseary to erect on the property ,. rmall fireproof structure to house the vast numbei Harding mementos that have been assembled since Is death. The home, it i9 believed, will continue the oh ictive of pilgrimages for those to whom Mr. Hard eg » kindliness and human sympathy so greatly ppealed. The executive committee also contemplates tin ioblichnu nt of a Chair of Diplomacy and Functions ' Government in tamo leading university. This was one of the cherished ideals of tlit lab T’;c; ident. He oftm t poke to Intimate friends of th* '.ed of special training for our representatives in foreign countries. Shortly before iiis dentil, in reviewing the achiev» n<nts of hi: administration. President Harding said 111 Giing nad given him more satisfaction than the co-ordination and greater efficiency which lie bad min able to bring about in the various Government dipanments. It is proposed t.o Include special in ruction for executive.', of the Government in the ( Hr of Diplomacy and Functions of Government. The plan for a ociate members which has been rpnioved by the executive committee, would auto I.atlcally make every person who contributed to the Harding Memorial Fund a member. Certificates of Membership are now being prepared. They will be handsomely engraved, bear the name of the donor f nii will be suitable for framing, j Although President Harding was a member ot mere than a score of fraternal societies, the executive committee requests (hat these organizations do nol join the movement as organizations, whether National, State or local chapter. Membership of Individual persons, ^nd as many as possible, Is the idea they have in mind. The fraternal societies, it is anttci ! paled, will be represented 100 per cent., In nearly c\ery instance and in such cases a special certificate will probably go to these organizations. Lloyd George has contracted to write a 1,000 word article on America for London publishers for which !lie will receive $6,800, or more, at the present rate I of exchange. Unlike other visitors from Europe the i Grittsh statesman seems to want home folks rather j than Americans to pay lor his'tour. His speeches land interviews in the United States were given free | of charge. --* When the First Division, whether alone or with la part of the Third Division, is organized as a sep arate Territory or admitted as a State Its name will I contain the name Alaska if the people of the North ' have anything to say about it regardless of the sug ! rations of Mr. McConihe of Seattle or any one cl»e Ion the Outside. I ---- | Remember, there are only a few days left in j which to get your name on the Red Cross Roll Call. You cannot afford to let the holiday season comr and not be a member of this great organization sc genuinely typical of the Christmas Spirit. Honor. (New York World.) | Just what is honor? The word has a noble sound and should have a noble meaning. A great contle 1 man once described himself as a man of honor, who I deemed it his duty to protect women. ! ‘'Yes,” said a cynnc, “from every man but hisn The upholding of “honor" has led to much duel ling in the, past, out of which came some doleful j tragedies, but in these cases usually only one individual fell. “National honor” asserts itseir upon a larger 'scale. It sacrifices the innocent, It slaughters thou sands in its avengings. | We no longer tight duels to satisfy individual honor, bu‘ (he nations have not yet come to the j parr where they can become impersonal. The dream nt Versailles seems still a dream. Yet the time must come when it will prove a reality. I ,_ Good News from Mayo. (Dawson News.) | Good news comes by the radio to the Dawson ! News from Mayo today. The mines on Keno Hill arc | working steadily with large crews and will have a 1 heavy tonnage to haul. This means the Keno camp b a winter, ar well as summer, camp--a year round camp, if you please. This is what counts, an industry ! that will afford employment every month in the year. The big tunnel of the Treadwell Yukon Company, Jluiiig in 900 feet now, is progressing splendidly, and i the striking of the ore at the 600-foot level on com ! pletion of the tunnel will give a further Impetus ! to Hie district. Operations of the Treadwell Yukon j end the Keno Hill, Limited, and the several indi ! vidiiala tills winter are giving the camp stability, and the prospects in sight indicate that the carat will enlarge its productive properties not a little by another year. ! The Mayo district Is a bright light in Yukon, land the future is uuspicious. Every true Yukonei I tv'll rejoice over tile good news that continues L come from the new silver camp. Harding's Greatest Monument. (Vancouver, B. C., Sun.) Devoted friends cf Warren Gamaliel Harding wil raise $3,000,000 by subscription to perpetuate tlv ! memory of the only American President who ever I spoke on Canadian soil. Half of that sum will he j spent on a mausoleum and shrine at Marlon, Ohio, The other $1,500,000 will be Invested to keep there , buildings up forever. It is a good, wholesome project, and Canadians , who can afford it should subscribe liberally in the name of Canadian-American friendship, of which Harding was a champion. But this $1,500,000 mausoleum will only be r poor imitation of the shrine Warren Harding erectcc fer himself in Vancouver last July. No monhment can he erected now that will equa .jin stability, force and appeal the picture that thou J sands of Canadians carry In their memories of Shi; great, generous man, destined to soon for the grave stretching out botli his arms in love and friendship ti tho Canadian people in tlie leafy paradise of Stanlvj , Park. The new senso of international amity engendered that day in Vancouver and spread by word of mouth and the press to every corner of the North American continent is Warren Gamaliel 'Harding's most beau tiful. most useful and most lasting monument. And if the loving friends who would perpetuate his memory neck an inscription for the beautiful shrine th<y wil erect to him they will find no true; Here is a man who one summer's day drew two nations closer together in friend ship. trust and esteem than any two na tions have ever been drawn before.
