WASHINGTON. Nov -' Three or
four months from now .Mr Harding
will, or will not, have made the ini
pr salon of a Rood start. He will, or
will not, be regarded as having ap
I pointed a (rood cabinet. He will, or
vvill not. be regarded as having lived
! up to the spirit of his campaign
pledge, to initiate a foreign policy
which shall take into account the
views and wishes of all sections of
public opinion.
That the impression Senator Hard
ing is to make in these and other
matters should be favorable must
necessarily be the wish of that more
than seventy out of every hundred
of the voters who supported him. and
was matter of fact, undoubtedly Is
the friendly wish of almost everybody
else Whether Senator Harding is ablo
to live up to his own nd the pub
lic's wish that he make the impression
of a good Start, Is a matter wholly
within his cvvn control, and his fail
ure, if he should fall, will be more
his funeral than anybody else'B.
1 acts NOT CURMISES.
Hut both for the sake o fthe next
president of the United States, and
for the sake of the public whose pres
ident he will be, it is most desirable
that the first impressions of his
work should be based on facts after
they have become facts, and not on
surmises made before the event. The
Impression should be based on Mr.
Harding's acts and not on surmises as!
to what his acts are going to be. nor on
propaganda Intended to influence his
acts.
Let us. therefore. approach this
subject from the point of view of a
nubile that wants to be and ought to
be. Informed, and a public that docs
not want to he and ought not to be,
either misinformed through careless- ,
ness or misled through Intention.
Here are all the facts that rea
aonahlv diligent reporter ls able to i
gather at me present lime-
Senator Harding Is at Panama on I
a vacation party made up of friends
In this group of friends there 0X0
only two men who are senators, or
who aie In any sense Republican
leaders. These two senators were un
doubtodly Invited not ae politicians,
hut as friends. They have long been
the companions of Senator HSrdlng's
golfing afternoons and his other hours
of recreation. That their presence has
no poiPieai significance whatever can
be taken for granted that apart from
such meditation aa would occur to any
man even In such a deliberately I
maintained mood of recreation as
Senator Harding now h.'S. nothing of
any Importance politieally either in
the way of appointments or of poli
cies Ls being done.
M i l OH BEFORE ELKS
In a few days Senator Harding
will leuve Panama. n December 4
he will arrive at Norfolk, Va. e.m
December 5 he Will make h speech, I
WhlCb was promised a long time ago, '
at an Klks' home at Hedford, Va.
Op Decomber he will probably come
to Washington to be In tho city at
the opening of the new session of the
senate, which occurs on that day.
Within a day or two thereafter he
Will go to Marion, and probably re
main there at least a month. Early
In January Just as soon as the pres
ent Democratic governor of Ohio has
been supplanted by the newly elected
Republican governor. Senator Hard
ing will undoubtedly resign hia seat
In the senate and the recently elected
Republican senator. Frank Willis, will
b appointed to fill out the seven
weeks of SenaU-r Harding's Unexpired
term.
No formal lint of ' Pest minds."
During December Harding will

INACCURATE LISTS.
As to who the.-.,, visitors vvill be.
lists have lately been published which
have been seriously Inaccurate both
as to some the names mentioned
and as to many of the names omitted.
If these llsls should be accepted by
the public as final would be the ba
sis of most unfortunate misapprehen
sion. So far as thai goes, there Is no
very formal list.
It Is yue that immediately after
his election Senator Harding recalled
his promise to the public to make
the subject of our foreign relations his
first concern. In the spirit of car
rylng out this promise he did write
to a few men asking th m to come to
ee biro at Marlon; but the ones in
vlted then were only tho more ob
vlous oiies and were probably Intend
ed us merely enough of S beginning
to be a sign of his Intention to carry
out his obligation. Later on, appar
cutis'. In the course of acknowledging
messages of congratulations and In
other ways, he asked other men to
come to see him. To others ho has
nut Informal messages through
frfends Which have not yet been ;le
llvered, Rut there WPS, and is, no
ii mal or complete list of such a sort
is t Justify the deductions that havo
been made.
