THE 1 OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, OKKUOtt FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5. 1820. E SOON TO PERVADE THE WHITE HOUSE f . By' WlllUm SUveos McXntt , ! Cnltad New SUM CorrapooAtnt. Marlon, Ohio, Now 5. - Senator ! Hardin 1 the first cigarette smoker - to be elected President of the United eutea. lt' somewhat of a shock to see the ponderous and imposlnr p resident-elect draw from - his coat pocket a thin silver cigarette case, extract a slender "pllP and light it, ' -There is something Incongruous 'about ' the tiny white cylinder and thin stream of smoke in contrast to. Senator Hard ing's large features, august face, with Its prominent aquiline nose and beetling ' brows. The effect is somewhat skin to that which one imagines might be pro duced by a large lion with a baby blue ribbon about Its neck playing kitten ishly witn a ball of string, or a solemn small-town old maid of . the old tea- and-tabbycat type doing the shimmy. DUAL FEHSOKaIiITY This- seeming incongruity is merely , : one bit of testimony as to the peculiar duality 'of the Harding character and personality. The senator smokes clg- arettes and chews tobacco, which is a combination of two mild vices seldom found In one man. Usually the man .who smokes cigarettes looks with nor-; - ror upon his tobacco . chewing . brother, whereas the devotee of the plugcut and the dental process of extracting satis faction from the weed affects a scorn of the more dainty man who soothes his nerves with a cigarette. Senator Harding pitches horseshoes iand plays golf; his public speeches are remarkable for the solemn dignity of phrase in which they are delivered, and ' his casual conversation-' Is equally re , markable for Its colloquial and oft times . slangy flippancy. Eulogising anyone in public the senator expresses praise in " solemn and ponderous terms. HAS TWO SIDES - ' ; , Speaking well of some acquaintance In private, he says drawlingly : "Now, So-and-So is not such a bad old scout." In public Senator Harding never varies ' the weighty dignity of his manner with ' any lightness of behavior ; In private he . falls naturally into sophomoric extremi ties of relaxed posture in his search for the most ' comfortable positions for his large frame. - - He is extolled alike by the most strict ly puritanical of churchmen and by con vivial spirits whose sole standard of Judgment Is a man's ability to be - a "good fellow In the commonly accepted tense of that term., He is at home in a motor car and drives his own automo bile at an average speed of . better than a score of miles per hour in excess of , the limit advised by advocates of."safe- ty first, and yet in appearance and manner-he Is the personification of the oldfashioned . lover of the horse, who enjoys driving a well gentled team at a .moderate trot. ' ' His guiding spirit has ever been am bition, and yet the best of his old .friends at Marlon laughingly agreed that he Is . not and never has been a glutton- for work. He reminds one of Mark Twain ', In his frank aversion for hard work and his love for leisure and recreation In , spite of all of which he has diligently . sought and secured ' the" position that - obligates him to a four, year period of .fearful toil. v-- r '"-.; .. The senator typifies in his person two , widely different ages and conditions of , life. On the one hand he expresses the character moulded by his experience as .. moderately poor boy In the moderate ly poor rural Middle West of 40 years . sgo. as a country school teacher in that ,- environment, as a small-town struggling editor and local politician Intimately In terested in the intimate, gossipy scraps for small offices In his precincL ward, town and county. , UTTERLY AMEBIC AX ' - On the other hand he expresses the character moulded by his experience as a successful newspaper publisher and business man : a man moderately jtfealthy In a moderately wealthy community ; the experience of a man of means with a -. temperament peculiarly suited to full enjoyment of all the creature comforts ' and social, pleasures to whichS-his posl tton and wealth gave him access ; the experience" of a prominent senator in . contact at Washington with the big men and . problems of the world.

AID TO FARMERS By James lu KilgaHen ; Pelted K t gtatt Cowpoedettt. Chicago, Not-' I - F. Gates, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, will do all he can to help tha farmers of the country organize a practical plan ofmarketing the na tion's grain crop, he told the Com mittee of 17 of the American Farm Bureau Federation late Thursday. "But," he warned "the system that Is permanently useful must take Into ao eount all the people of the country." AFTEB MIDDI.EMIC , Gates was one of the speakers at the committee's conference and Investiga tion, now under way here for the pur pose of evolving a centralised national grain marketing plan. ; . After his talk. Gates was subjected to a rapid fire of questions from repre sentatives of the various producers' or ganizations present. These men were in session because, as explained by the ohaimnn. c H. Oustafsonr of Xjlnooln, Neb-, "the producers claim that boards of trade and commission men are per im tnn exoensive for the service they render and that there are too many mid dlemen. r.itM answered a barrage of some what combative questions readily, but xDlained in advance that his replies were not for publication. . BOABD OFTBADE'S HISTOBY But in his speech he defended the or rsniznd ereln exchangee as the most economical methods of marketing the country's grain. He said the organ ised market stabilizes prices, a mo nopoly in the grain business is Impos sible under suc! a system, he asserted. He said the speculators in grains can not be eliminated ; that the critics of speculators are largely those who do not use the market. ' Grain markets," he declared, "are or ganized not to serve either the consumer Mother Heart PROMISES Baby's Boudoir wearables are de signed as only women who love ba bies and know their every need can design. - i - . y- ' They are all stamped on finest baby' fabrics cut full and billowy, as all baby clothes should, be, and as no . others are.

He declared it to be the best system so far devised for' the marketing of grain. "A' plan to better must be evolutionary, not revo lutionary." he said. To attempt to tear down ezisUng agencies, without something economically better to sub stitute would only result In chaos. Or ganize and use the board of trade, don't eliminate it" f e i KATIOITAX. COKTB1TTIOX Trading: in futures, he contended, does not fix prices. Values are regulated by the law of supply and demand. r Past experiences have proven, he add ed, "that I neither capital nor labor can organize against the best interests of the American people, and It would be futile for the farmers to attempt any plan Intended to obtain more for their wheat than Its actual value. The farm er, however, is entitled to a fair profit on his holdings." j As soon as the centralized national gram marketing plan is agreed upon, it wlll .be referred to the -IS farm organiza tions of the country, which the Commit tee of 17 1 represents. Then a national convention of fanners' organisations will be held and the stamp of approval put on the final system which the farmers of the country will have devised for the marketing; of their grain crop. .

The most fashionable residential district in St- Louis will be represented in the state legislature by a negro, it was virtually made certain today. ; He Is Walthall Moor", who, according to latest returns, has snowed under the Democratic opponent. The district includes one ward which isno VOU can be quite People aren't in business for their health, and "sales" are only put on where there's need of getting rid of out-of-season stock or for some equally selfish reason. In any case, the "nigger" is that prices are so repriced that the man who buys first is made to pay for the man who buys last. Consequently, under this system, you can never be sure, where you get off at. Notso with us! For eight years we have consistently main tained our upstairs policy of large-volume, and rock -bottom prices, so that already we dominate the men's clothing business in the Norihwest. - - ; . . . , This is due entirely to public recognition of the fairness with which we treat everybody all the time, by so pricing our mer chandise at, the beginning that we are not forced to reprice it at the end, and steadfastly refusing to favor some at the expense of others. And the prices we ask are the best bargains any where. ; - '!": ': .':'v':' :;--V;;;:-"- - Vhen you remembeir that we sell only the best grade of cloth ing at upstairs prices, in such large volume that our stock is always up-to-date, you will understand the enthusiasm of our thousands of satisfied customers, and want to join them right away. : j " , i Then you will enjoy two big things: First, complete satisfac tion in quality, fit and price; and, second an individual saving of $10 over ordinary prices on any garment in any of our three great upstairs stores. 1 Alterations Free Satisfaction or Your Money Back RALEIGH BUILDING, SIXTH AND WASHINGTON Fahey-Brockman Building and Arcade Building, Seattle J is a negro stronghold.
