Life Story of
Warren Gamaliel Harding
Warren Gamaliel Harding, twenty
ninth president of the United States,
was born November 2, 1805, on his
grandfather’s farm Just outside the
village of Blooming Grove, in Morrow
county, Ohio. He was descended from
two pioneer American fanfllles, hardy
Holland Dutch on the one side and lib
erty-loving Scotch on the other. His
father, Dr. George T. Harding, is still
a practicing physician in Marlon,
0., despite his advanced age of seven
ty-nine years. H.sa mother was Phoebe
Elizabeth Dickerson Harding.
Mr. Harding was a self-made man In
the best sense of the phrase. He
worked on his farm and
attended the village school until he
was fourteen yehrs old, and then he
entered the Ohio Central college at
Iberia. He worked his way through
that Institution by cutting corn, paint
ing ids neighbors' barns and helping
on the grading of the roadbed of the
T. &O. C. railroad. He also played In
the village band and was editor of the
college paper.
When he graduated from the col
lege, Warren went to work In the vil
lage printing office. At the time he
was nineteen years old, his father
moved to Marion with the family and
there aided Warren financially in gain
ing control of the Marlon Star, of
which he was publisher until after he
issmntd the office of president of the
United States. Already he knew how
to set type and to do all the other
duties of a printer, and when the lino
type was Introduced he learned to op
erate that machine. Always he car
ried as a pocket piece the printer’s
rule he used In those days.
The Star was his idol and he was
very proud of it and of the more than
friendly relations that existed be
tween him and his employees. There
was never a strike on the paper, and
about fourteen years ago lie instituted
n profit-sharing plan whereby the em
ployees received dividends that were
paid them in the form of stock in the
paper. Mr. Harding was identified
also with the Industries that sprang
WARREN G. HARDING
up In Marlon as it grew from a town
of 4,000 to a city of more than 30,000.
He was a director In a bank and in
several manufacturing companies, and
was a trustee of Trinity Baptist
church.
Hia Rise in Politics.
As editor and publisher of a lively
Republican paper it was Inevitable
that Mr. Harding should take an ac
:ive interest in politics, and his attain
ments brought him to the front In the
state. He was a member of the Ohio
senate from 1900 to 1904, and then
served as lieutenant governor of the
state. In 1910 he was the Republican
nominee for governor, but was defeat
ed. In 1915 he was sent to the United
States senate, serving until 1920, when
he resigned to make the campaign for
the presidency. In the preconvention
campaign that year he had been
looked on as one of the possible nomi
nees for the high office, but his defeat
n the primaries for election of dele
gates from Ohio seemed to spoil his
chances. However, the conservative
.euders of the Republican party pre
vailed in the gathering in the Chicago
Coliseum, and Mr. Harding was norni
mted. His campaign was based larger
y on opposition to American partici
pation in the League of Nations, and
HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH. GEORGIA.
was so successful that in the election
of November 4 he received 404 elec
toral votes to 127 for James M. Cox,
the Democratic nominee. He was In
augurated March 4, 1021, with a de
gree of simplicity In the ceremonies
that pleased the American people.
Classed, when In the senate, as a
conservative, President Harding did
not depart markedly from conserva
tive lines when In the White House,
though his supporters always said he
was as progressive as the good of the
country warranted and as conditions
permitted. He, like President Roose
velt, had a great coal miners’ strike on
his hands, and labored hard and with
a measure of success to bring it to a
peaceful and just end.
Arms Limitation Conference.
The outstanding accomplishment of
his administration was the great inter
national conference for the limitation
of armament held In Washington, open
ing on Armistice day, November 11,
1921. At his Instigation the confer
ence was authorized by congress and
after feeling out the big powers and
finding them agreeable he issued Invi
tations to Great Britain, France, Bel
gium, Italy, Japan, China, the Neth
erlands and Portugal. Each country
sent some of Its most eminent states
men as delegates, those of the United
States being Secretary of State
Hughes, chairman of the conference;
Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and
Underwood of Alabama, and ex-Secre
tary of State Elihu Root.
The conference adjourned February
G, 1922, after negotiating these
treaties:
A covenant of limitation to naval
armament between the United States,
Great Britain, France, Japan and Italy.
A treaty between the same powers
as to the use of submarines and nox
ious gases in warfare.
A treaty between the United States,
Great Britain, France and Japan re
lating to their Insular possessions and
their insular dominions in the Pacific,
with a declaration reserving American
rights in mandated territory.
A treaty between the nine powers In
the conference relating to principles
and policies to he followed in matters
concerning China.
A treaty between the nine powers
relating to Chinese customs tariff. Be
cause France refused to consider the
limitation of land armament at the
present time, that part of the confer
ence fell through. But what It did
achieve was considered a great step
toward the attainment of world peace.
The treaties were soon ratified by the
United States senate and the British
parliament, and the other nations fol
lowed suit, though for a long time It
was feared France would not accept
the pacts. However, President Hard
ing lived to see them ratified by the
French chamber and senate.
Favored Entering World Court.
Mr. Harding had not been long in
the White House before it appeared
that he did not favor entire isolation
of the United States from European
affairs, but believed this country
would have to do Its part in the res
toration of Europe to peace and sta
bility. This feeling became more evi
dent early in J. 923 when he proposed
that America should accept member
ship in the International Court of Jus
flee which had been founded under
the auspices of the League of Nations.
The President was as Insistent as ever
that tills country should keep out of
the league, but believed the court was
or *vnii!d he Independent of the greater
organization. Against the advice of
some leaders of his party, he reiterated
this advice on several occasions, and
his plan formed the subject of some
of his addresses on his last and fatal
trip through the West. He did not
think It would split his party, and
boldly continued to advocate It. Not
withstanding this, It was assumed to
be almost a certainty that President
Harding would be renominated In the
Republican national convention of
1924.
Mr. Harding’s home life was ideal
save that he had no children. He and
Mrs. Harding, who was Miss Florence
Kling of Marlon, were devoted to each
other and she was always his true
helpmate, both In Ohio and In Wash
ington. In the national capital Mrs.
Harding quickly made herself loved
by all with whom she came In contact,
and during the Western trip she was
more eager even than the President
to meet and mix with all kinds of
people.
His Western Trip.
President Harding’s Alaska trip was
originally planned for the summer of
1922. lie inherited the so-called
“Alaska problem.” Alaska seemed to
be on the down grade, with decrease In
population and mining output, threat
ened extinction of the fishing Industry
and numerous other unfavorable
symptoms. The situation apparently
called for the establishment of a defi
nite Alaskan policy. Various plans
were discussed, Including a transfer of
control to the Interior department
from the score or more of governing
bureaus. President Harding’s plans
for 1922 came to naught, but this year
he determined to get first-hand Infor
mation. He was accompanied by Sec
retary Work of the Interior depart
ment, Secretary Wallace of the Agri
cultural department and Secretary
Hoover of the Department of Com
merce, all of whom are immediately
concerned In the Alaskan situation.
The President left Washington at
the end of June and journeyed leisure
ly to the Pacific Northwest by special
train, making speeches at St. Louis,
Denver, Helena, Spokane and other
cities. Incidentally he visited two of
the national parks. First he went to
Zion in Utah, the newest of our na
tional parks, which is a many-colored
gorge cut by the Rio Virgin. Next he
visited Yellowstone in Wyoming, cre
ated in 1872, the first national park in
history and largest and most famous
of the nineteen parks of our system.
Here he motored, boated, fished, fed
the bears and had a good time. His
plans also included a visit to Y’osemlte
upon his return trip, but that was
abandoned.
Saw Much of Alaska.
The President celebrated the Fourth
of July in the United States and then
started for Alaska, on the U. S. trans
port Henderson. His Alaskan trip was
extensive. He went the length of the
new government railroad and visited
the capital, Juneau, and the principal
cities. He also was shown the best of
the majestic scenery.
On his return trip Mr. Harding
stopped off at Vancouver, creating
precedent in that he was the first
American President to step on Cana
dian soil.
The President arrived at Seattle

of the Henderson a fleet of a dozen or
so battleships under command of Ad
miral H. P. Jones, each of which gave
him the national salute of twenty-one
guns. Even then he was suffering
from the ailment that resulted in his
death, and soon after that the rest of
his trip, which was to include a return
to the East via the Panama canal, was
cancelled.
President Harding made a public ad
dress at Seattle, setting forth his views
on the Alaskan situation. Some of his
points were these:
“Alaska for Alaskans.”
“There is no need of government
managed, federally-paid-for hothouse
development . . . there must be no
reckless sacrificing of resources.”
“Alaska is destined for statehood In
a few years.”
“Where there is possibility of better
ment in federal machinery of admin
istration, improvement should and will
be effected.”
Other conclusions presented by Pres
ident Harding were:
That generous appropriation should
be made for road building.
That the federal government should
be more liberal in encouraging the
technical, scientific and demonstration
work in agriculture.
That restrictions should be laid on
the fisheries and on the forests.
That the development of the coal
mines must await time and economic
conditions.
That the government should retain
ownership and operation of the Alas
kan railroad.
During the President’s Illness the
greatest concern was felt and ex
pressed b all foreign countries, and
their governments were constantly ad
vised of his condition.
I! You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by tnose who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale.”
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
ko many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Suicide Bureau.
To prevent suicide the Save-a-Llfe
league was founded seven years ago in
New York. It has proved that people
tempted to end their lives will first
come and “talk It over,” and that in
most cases they can be saved. It be
lieves that with proper equipment it
could save thousands every year. The
Salvation Army founded a suicide
branch in London, England, 15 years
ago, inviting would-be suicides to come
and consult its officials first. One
third of last year’s suicides in the
United States were women and girls.
The oldest suicide was a centenarian
great-great-grandmother, and the
youngest a child of five years. In Ne\i
York City alone 539 persons ended
their lives last year.
