HARDING'S ABILITIES

for White House.
"Since 1012 I have been a Johnson
progressive. At the Chicago conven
tion I seconded his nomination for
president, and for days I was keenly
disappointed because he failed to win
the republican nomination. I am also
& Harding republican. Two weeks
ago today I breakfasted with Senator
nd Mrs. Harding: at their home in
Marion, O. I discussed with the re
publican nominee many of the topics
of national political importance, espe
cially those pertaining to women, and
I want to say frankly, I do not be
lieve the republican party could have
chosen a more capable man to head
the rational ticket."
Such was the spontaneous tribute
paid to Senator Harding yesterday at
the Benson hotel by Mrs. Kathcrine
J'hilips Edson of California, a member
of the executive committee of the
republican national committee. Mrs.
Edson, who is the only "woman on
this committee from the western
Btates, passed through Portland en
route to her home at Loa Angeles
from a meeting of the executive com
mittee In Chicago.

"My visit to the home of Senator
Harding has been a revelation. A
partisan press has endeavored to lead
us to believe that the republican nom
inee belongs to what they term the
old school of stand-pat or reaction
ary republicans.
"This is not so. I found him to be
thoroughly progressive and awake to
the needs of the country, and espe
cially to the wants of the women and
children of America. Like Senator
Johnson of California, he is progres
sive, and if they differ at all, it la
eimply in attaining their ends."
"Senator Han'ing has personality,"
eaid Mrs. Kdson, "of the sort one
would delight to discover In a presi
dent. Grave and Ecriuus. for the most
part, with a fine, thoughtful face
hut with this distinctly statesmanlike
countenance frequently lighted by a
very happy smile an infectious smile
that makes one feel his friendship.

V ay. 1 don't mean t say that he isn't
approachable and one of the folks
for he is. Everyone in Marlon calls
him 'Warren,' but Senator Harding
Is not the sort cf man that strangers
or casual acquaintances would pre
curne to be familiar with. For he is
distinctly dignified, though gracious.
"I liked especially his utter absence
of any pretense at especial delight in
greeting me. He met me pleasantly
and turned at once into the discussion
of those public matters which Inter
ested us bofh.
"Speaking of legislation, for women,
I was impressed by the adeptness. of
Senator Harding in seizing a thought
and converting it into his own termi
nology. He is a master at this and
the result is alway concise and log
ical. 1 had called his attention to
the advanced legislation " that we of
the west had achieved for women, and
to the regrettable fact that while we
had progressed our women workers,
in view of the fact that eastern states
had not adopted similar progressive
legislation, were placed on an unfair
basis of competition.
Protection Same an Tariff.
"Our plea. I reminded him, was for
federal legislation that would co
ordinate the attitude of all states to
ward woman labor. Senator Harding
was silent a moment, then he said,
1 see, you wish protection for the
women workers of your state similar
to that which the tariff laws give to
the country."
Mrs. Edson said that throughout
ter visit to the east, she found re
publican sentiment overwhelming.
People, she said, do not look upon
Governor Cox as presidential caliber.
They prefer to know him as Jimmie
Cox. But. further still, the average
voter wants a change. They do not
want a continuation of the present
democratic policies.
"The republican pu:-ty is pledged to
a policy of retrenchment and economy
In government." she said. "It does
more than promise; it can show
actual performance in this line. The
66th congress just adjourned, which
tad a republican majority in both
houses, reduced the democratic i
niinifciration estimates by $2,500. 000.-
000. It also passed bills providing for
a budget system which ware vetoed
by President Wilson.
V. S. to Be Free Again.
"In addition to the pledge of re
publican leaders and that contained
in the republican platform, Senator
Harding has given his personal pledge
that the strongest and ablest men
the country will be called to accept
cabinet portfolios. Both the nomi
nee and the platform are pledged to
return to the American people their
cherished heritage of free press, free
speech, free assemblage and freedom
from the intolerable espionage and re
pression we have been cursed with
since the armistice as well as during
the war
"It is essential that those Ameri
cans who want to relieve our country
from this administration of Ineffi
ciency, waste and intolerance, should
return the republican party to power,
giving it the responsibility of de
veloping a sane, instructive and for
ward-looking policy.

SAFETY IN TEMPTATIONS
Largest Number in History of Uni

Freshman Examination.
1TUGENE, Or., Sept. 26. (Special.)
Large crowds of students are ar-
iving in Eugene on .every train to
ttend the university of Oregon and
the enrollment is certain to surpass
by far that of former years, accordi
ng: to the advance registration. Tha
Y. M. C. A. has established informa-
ion bureaus for the benefit of the
new students. The campus T. M. C.
A. has been very busy the past few
days supplying students with jobs.
A house-to-house canvass has been
made of the city in an effort to list
all the available boarding places. Al-
hough there is a temporary shortage
of rooms, it is believfed all students
an be accommodated next week.
The freshman English examination
was held this afternoon, and because
of the unprecedented number taking
the freshmen were distributed in
eve.ral different buildings. English
nstructors said it was by far the
argest number ever taking the ex
amination. It is thought there are
about 600 new students here now, and
he total enrollment is estimated by
Carlton Spencer, registrar, at 2500.

Trouble "With World, View of Mill.
ister, It Reads Its Present State
of Mind Back to Fast.
Experience is a test and hardship
a chastening influence, according to
Dr. E. H. Pence, pastor of the West
minster Presbyterian church, in a
sermon delivered yesterday on the
topic, "Why Does God Allow Sin?"
Dr. Pence said:
"The old prophet exclaimed 'Oh
Lord, hast thou made us to err from
thy ways ana hardened our hearts?
This shows that the soul then as now
realizes something is wrong. In
trouble we always want to know who
is to blame, but if we are to blame,
in the weakness of our human nature,
we soften and mollify our guilt. In
our distress we fall back on the ques
tion: Why does God allow sin? And
this is only the natural question, and
men not only now but from the be
ginning of man's history have asked
the same question.
"One philosopher Schopenhauer,
reasons that everything in the world
is as bad as it can be, -while another
like Leibnitz says everything is as
good as it can be. But men ask, 'How
far am I responsible for this badness
in the world?" The philosopher falls
back on 'Why am I in the world?'
The prophet cries, 'God, why did you
make me to err?' Well, God didn't.
Our trouble is we read back, our pres
ent state of mind into the past, for
getting that f'rst decision, the next
step, the next, etc., to be present.
"In the moral history of the world,
as told in Genesis 1 and 2, we read
that God created man in his own
Image; yet man was given a free will
to choose between good and evil.
God knew everything which was good
or evil, but man had to learn by ex
perience, and yet from that experi
ence man and God would come closer
together. Man's religious nature re
quires the power to choose. It has
been often and well said that we
must have the newer to do wrong
or else we would have no power to
do right.
"The boy who continually teased
his sister was one day tied to a tree.
While thus tied his sister fell on the
stove in the kitchen. The mother, in
her anguish, called to the boy to
hurry to the" doctor but. alas, he was
tied. He could do no harm, but could
do no good either. God might tie us
in ancutral area where we could do
no wrong, but then how could we do
right, grow into the strength of
developing character, built up by
choices of right over wrong.
"Human life is a great adventure,
and living it is the supermost adven
ture. It is not a mind of contempla
tion, but a mind of emotion and will.
of a fight to win. Carlyle said, 'The
greatest of faults is to be conscious
of none."
'David Is referred to in the Old
Testament as a man after God's heart.
and yet he was a man of sin. He was
battler for the right, though weak.
The most beautiful act of a man is
his repentance for sin his struggle
for the good, his final grasp on God
himself as the only safe power to
help.
Human nature is not walking in
truth, but a succession of recovery
from falls. In the instant of decision
here is the possibility of falling, but
f we choose the right we progress.
grow and develop. There is also the
possibility of doing wrong, and th
makes it possible to do right. The
progress we make lies in the risk
of falling.
There's a time when we do not
walk but run. In battle's danger we
are never so safe as when we run.
So morally never so safe as in the
midst of temptations we get a poise
we can t get when we go slowly. A
mighty motive otten neips us to go
our topmost.
'The word says that God moves in
men s lives. For chastening he often
allows men to get into the grip of
terrible experiences, as of David.
Peter. Peter in the house of Jesus'
trial denied his Lord, but when he
turned and saw him who had said
111 pray for you. his heart returned
to itself. Why was he not stopped
by God? Oh, by that experience he
came forth the stronger, more fitted
for the day of Penecost. He must
needs first go through the fires of
experience.
'So with us, we often are going our
way when he halts us ana snows us
our real need of him. He is always
ready for us to quit and come back to
him. Our sin grieves nim, but wnen
we are. in the midst of it he remem
bers our frame that we are but dust.'

To enlighten the Judgment and

emphasized the lessons of church

PROGRAMME PROVES SUCCESS I
!
Banquet, With Plates for 150, Is
Served at fiellwood Church.
The festivities and programme at
the Sellwood Methodist church Fri
day evening proved an unusual suc
cess. At 6:30 o clock a banquet was
served by the Ladles Aid society In
the commodious basement of the
church. A committee of men had
decorated the rooms, using a combina
tion of autumn leaves and ferns.
Oscar D. Stanley was chairman of the
committee on arrangements, and
Walter I. Watson presided. After a
report o? the year's work by the pas
tor. W. S. Gordon, Rev. A. L. Haworth,
centenary secretary for the Portland
area, made an address on "Building
the Brotherhood." It was an appeal
for loyalty and service.'
A pleasing solo was given by Mrs.
Carl Stanley, and the climax of the
evening was reached when S. D. Gor
don of New York was introduced, and
gave a heart-searching message on
the betrayal of Christ, and the
Savior's quie talk with Peter.
One hundred and fifty plates were
laid for the banquet, and some came
later for the speaking only. Dr.
Gornall of the centenary staff was
also present and assisted in the
service.
