Since undertaking this wort or
rattlne tnppthpr In hrnnn!f?iral se
quence some of ihe s!mple, everyday,
'things in the life of Ihe -Republican"
; nominee for president, thfngs'tbat
.ahe following, appear' it? in the-edl-4
torlal page of a Southern newspaper,
naa come to my attention: .
1 "We have It on the highest author
ity that in the fifteenth century 11. C.
Gamaliel swept the wilderness and
carried the districts of Abel-beth-
Maachah, Bilcam, Megiddo and many
others. - , ... v ,
; Those words, - spoKen within the
walla nf Iho nll St tar nfflo. in the
Miller block, Marion. Ohio, during
the winter of 1885, would bare
created an awful hollow note. There
never was a plan more generally and
particularly unfitted. In all its- ap
pointments, for a newspaper office
than this second floor front and
back which we occupied immediate
ly following the adoption of the sick
kitten. Upended, the room in which
we worked would hai been tailed
than the small boy's conception of
Alexander the i Great. It was long
and lean and sepulchral. . .
-" Gamaliel of the fifteenth century
B. CI. We wonder if he could have
gone out cf a place like this old
Star office and carried the districts
of Abel-beth-Maachah. Bilcam, Met

t There have been better reporters
In Marion than Warren G. Harding
' when he covered the town, but we
question whether there ever was one

' made friends for the paper. The
sick kitten began to prrr.
1 ' In other worJi we vere gert'ng on

tatlnn malnrfir titi It Tha Ttnnara
creditors didn't have to bold a stop
watch on us; nevertheless, wo were
making headway iu the line of me
chanical Impr jem:nta on a small
scale. , '
: 1 sh ill alwy3 remember the eve
ning a stranger crawled un the iar
row stairway to the second floor of
the Miller block ana tumbled around
until be found one of the many doors
that opened into th-i Hollow Mock
ery. He was a middl3 age I man wtib
a benign countecane. He were a
smile that could he freely interpreted
as "God bless you!
The Star bad ben running along
with patent i asides guaranteed not
to cramp. This stranger cru in to
sell us a daily page of telegraph
plates to be. shipped fresh every
morning out of 'Columbus. We
bought. As was tna custom, the
stranger agreed throw in a saw
and mitre box. Ths work of sawing
up the news 1 fount eventually, was
not as bard and labono'n as pitcniu,
hay to keep the old baler from starv
lag to de?.th.
The purchase of the plate service
meant printing the paper all at borne.
It was another step forward, and we
took It up unhesitatingly. it wis
early written in the philosophy of
Warren G. Harding that the town or
the institution that does not move
forward must go- backward. The Ick
kitten must get well and grow sleek
or sutler a ratal relapse. No craw
fish could have. operated his reverse
lever In the atmosphere of the Star
office in its daring day of Incipient
growth. -
The Star Acquires a Money Drawer
Later the office was moved, not
because It was cheaper to move than
pay rent, but because we wanted to
get into a broader field, a new Abel
beth-Maachab. We went to the Fife
block on Center street, not far from
the Star's present location. Here
we had a suite of four rooms In
row. .
Across the front room Harding
bad a counter built, with a tnony
drawer beneath. We had to bave
some place to keep the extra supply
of collar buttons, which were forever
getting lost in the hustle and bustle
of getting out the paper. Incidental
ly, it may be written that warren
Gamaliel had a penchant, or weak
ness, for counters. They created the
Impression that business lurked
somewhere near.
This Pite' block location marks the
real beginning of the Star's success.
It) was here that all possibility ot
failure was put behind us. It was
here that I sold my Interest in the
paper and, having borrowed enough
money to pay my board bill, agreed
toj stay on as hired help and do what
I could to see the thing through. It
was a good game to play and I was
getting interested In writing "pieces
for the paper, Although I was not
enamuored ot the town of Marion, it
was only nine miles from Saturday
night and mother waiting at the
gate.
I The Star office was always a pop
ular nlace for tramo printers, who
were still abroad In the land In the
old days.- There was a long list of
regulars, nearly of whom were sure
to call in the course or a year, i ne
rear room of the "suite" was adapt
ed to the entertainment of the men
of the road. It made pretty fair
sleeping quarters for them. They
were always given work at the Star
office. Now and -then one would
mm
come and ttay with us a month or
two. but most of them cut their vis
Its short after getting enough mon
ey for their immediate wants which
were. few.
A Un Of All Work
WarrenG. bad an abiding com
passion f&r these wanderers, and
they fared well at his hands. They
told Interesting tales of men high
up In the newspaper business and bad
entertaining stories of towns
throughout the country.
Among the tramp printers who
stood out among the Test was Col.
Hargot. Tall and dignified, he al
ways wore a nign sua nat that was
the worse for wear and a Prince Al-
ASPIRIN &
Name "Bayer" on Genuine;
l
bert coat. The colonel was one who
didn't like work, but he liked War
ren G. because Warren G.'a clothes
fitted Colonel Hargot. The colonel
carried a cane to show that the world
owed him a living.
During Its lean days the Star of
fice always worked beyond its capac
ity and the old ten-bour day was
not long enough, to the busy days
and nights the editor and publisher
pitched In and looked the part. At
distributing type he was not up to
tbe average journeyman, but at dis
tributing ink he was a star of tbe
first magnitude. He loved Ink unto
the point of taking it unto his bosom.
He liked to smell it. He venerated
it and his faith made him Its strong
advocate ia a day when its power was
not so generally recognized as now.

of Harding as an advertising solicitor.)
