The At ociatlon lias in mind a modest but appro

immittee which will include Mrs. Harding. Sufti

i rpetual care and upkeep.
A second form of tlie memoritl will be the per

'''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

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.

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

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.
