Washington. Whatever else he
may be Warren G. Harding always
classifies himself as an editor, pub
lisher and printer, proud of his pro
fessional accomplishments and train
ring. His luck-charm and most sa
I fcred possession is a printers rule,
j carried In his pocket wherever he
j goes; and his jose friends say he
would rather set a stick of type any
i day than grant an audience to an
ambassador.
For more than thirty years Mr.
Harding's bread and butter has been
earned by the Marion Star, whose re
, s pons Vtili ties he assumed under
; heavy mortgage and whose early
years he nourished at the expense of
(going hungry more than once him
' self. Since his nomination for the
! Presidency he has faced only one
j public ordeal that aroused emotions
he could not master. That was the
temporary severance of the tios that
!bind him to the Star. On election
I night, when a group of his employes
i came to congratulate him, his voice
: broke and his bijr frame was shaken
! fey sobs when he undertook to speak
. of the separation that must . De tne
'Drice of his triumph.
Election day was Mr. Harding's
(fifty-fifth birthday, and all the inter-
! ests of hie lifetime had been rooted
!ln the Immediate vicinity of Marion.
! TTf xras horn nt Rloominir Grove. O..
I In an adjoining county, the son of a
trountrv doctor, Georst T. Itardin
. who still visits his patients about
'.Marion in the one-horse carriage of
i the dd-school practitioner. The new
; President's mother has been dead for
i many years and his father is re
i married:.
i ' Young Harding attended college at
, Iberia, Ohio, and then tried school
(paching for a year before he began
; Ills newspaper ca reer. Always a par-
tisan and a Republican, he lost his
job as a reporter by wearing in the
' presence of his Democratic editor a
"Blaine hat," the stove-pipe which
: was a badge of support of James G.
i Blaine.
Although it was a pioneer news-
paper age, Mr. Hardin's mind ran to
': progressive notions even in the day
when the Star still was a liability! He
broke with his first partner over th
.question of installing a telephone in
f'the newspaper ofliee, a proposal which
the partner hold to be impractical,
: extravagant and i-evolutinary. Al-
though he retains a controlling finan-
cial interest in the Star, now a suc
cessful newspaper, Mr. Harding will
;ccupy but a titular relationship to
it during his Presidency.
Three times before he has held
I public office. He served in the Ohio
f legislature and as lieutenant gov
;rnor of the state, and six years ago
he was elected to the United States
i Senate where he became a mem
ber of the Foreign Relations com
; mittee. In 1916 he was chairman
of the Republican national conven
tion. In personal appearance the new
President is a man to attract a sec
ond look In any crowd. He carries
his two hundred and ten pounds with
out a hint of obesity, although he is
not qvito six feet tall; and his mass
ive features round out an impres
"felon of force and distinction. His
hair is iron grey almost silver grey
making sharp contrast with the
unusually heavy black eyebrows that
almost mask a pair of calm grey
eyes. It is only in repose that his
face takes on the aspect of severity
seen so often in his photographs.
When he talks or listens the lines
are broken by a smile that radiates
cordiality.
President Harding walks slowly,
talks slowly, and makes up his mind
slowly; but he gives the impression
of polished deliberation rather than
of over-caution or abashment. He is
a good conversationalist and a good
listener, and has a faculty of getting
through embarrassing situations with
little show of embarrassment.
The new President is unusually
fond of children, though he has none
of his own. He is a life-long Baptist
and a trustee of his home church in
Marion. He has been a member of
the Elk and Moose fraternities for
years, and since his election to the
presidency has beocme a thirty-second
degree Mason and a Shriner. Golf
is his favorite recreation, and he likes
to fish but does not hunt. He plays
hard, and possesses the faculty of put
ting all his worries out of his mind
during vacation hours.
Of all the presidents, Mr. Hardin's
close friends liken him most often to
McKinley, with whom he has in com
mon a predominant passion for
obliteration of class and sectional
lines.
MRS. HARDING IS
NOT TROUBLED
ABOUT SERVANTS
Washington. Mrs. Warren G. Har
ding found her servant problem solved
for her when she became mistress of
the White House today.
Cooks, chambermaids, laundrywo
men, butler and. pantrymen 20 in
all, are provided by the government
at a cost of S30.000 a year and there
i3 a housekeeper who has been In
charge of the servants since the ad
ministration of former President Tatft.
Previous to that time a steward was
in charge.
Only the expense of the personal
servants which a new president and
his wife may choose to have accom
pany them to the White House Is
borne by the chief" executive. Mrs.
Harding has retained the services of
Inez McWhorter, her cook, and a
chauffeur, but she found a.t the White
Itouso four , cooks retained by the
govornment and four chauffeurs.
The matter of supplying the White
House table may not prove as simple
for all food purchased whether for
the private tabl-e or for state func
tions must be paid out of the pocket
of the chief executive. Caterers to
the White House usually are selected
by the housekeeper unless the "first
lady of the land" desires to ,foillow
particular preferences which may
previously have been formed.

Police came and those with onls
minor injuries fled. The others, one
of whom had received a fractured

alleged to have made an ugly re
mark" in regard to a young woman.
This caused a fight which vby common
