THE HARDING WAY.
If Mr. Harding is to be a successful preeidt'iil, Mr. Harding must
be guided, not by attempted compromise among factions, but by
what be deems to bo a true policy fur the whole country. If he be
comes a follower instead of a leader he will fall. Theodore Uoose
velt would never waste his time in trying to pick a cabinet to please
the politicians, but would boldly name men to suit himself.
I'ortiand Journal.
"H
ALP truths form the fabric of falsehood." Here we have half-
truths which certainly "ive an entirely false impression.
Undoubtedly Theodore lioosuvelt would have boldly named men
to suit himself, so would Woodrow AVilsun, but. they were both onu-
i mi n leaders, with those qualities of temper and trniniu", which ren
dered co-operation and. co-ordination impossible.
President-elect Hardin;; js of a totallv different stamp. The con
dition he faces is a totally different condition. He could never be a
one-man president, his most certain course of defeat would be to at
tempt to be one. And no honest student of political conditions, can
claim that the conditions demand oner
Leadership is imperative, lint there are many kinds of lead
ership. Wilson and Koosevelt represented the leadership of per
sonal domination and individual force. Both men, very different
in temperaments and native characteristics, left a tremendous im
pression upon their country and the world. Theirs was a method of
agression and persistence, which overcame obstacles by crushing
them, rather thun conciliating. and eventually redirecting them.
The political revolutions they directed have gone, their contri
butions to posterity have been made. Now it is a different leadership,
ii different policy the country needs, and it was this realization, per
haps subconsciously apprehended by the people at large, that led to
the overwhelming victory for Senator IIitrtlni$r.
liolh Koosevelt anil Wilson were often compared to Lincoln. Yet
uiilv in aim- certainly not in temperament or methods, could such an
analogy be sustained. It is Harding who lias tho Lincoln tempera
ment, the Lincoln methods and lie faces a condition in many ways
resembling the condition Lincoln faced.
Tho old order has passed. A new order is here. And the country
is internally rent and torn with the process ol a new economic align
ment. "Whether or not Harding has any of the greatness of Lincoln
only the future can disclose, but that he is approaching his problems
in the Lincoln manner, with toleration, patience, moderation, with
a quiet but genuine passion to compose differences and return to a
a basis, of a united Americanism, seems to us apparent.
Lincoln was the anthithesis of the one-'inan president. He led
not by smashing opposition, but by conciliating it. It was Lincoln
who offered two cabinet positions to southern politicians, it was
Lincoln who conferred with all sides :uid ,all factions, it was Lincoln
who gave to one of his bitterest personal and political opponents, a
position in his cabinet of supreme importance and trust.
is
"What would have happened if LincoTn had chosen a cabinet to
'suit himself"' His cabinet was nothing short of a personal morti
fication, but he chose it for his country's good, he chose men, not for
icir friendship to him, but for their capacity to make good, and
that cabinet, as for as political principles of the past were concerned,
was nothing but compromise.
No, the Wilson and Roosevelt receipt is not and should not be the
Harding receipt. Until the cabinet is formally announced it is oulv
air to reserve judgment And until that time until the contrary is
leinotistralcd, we shall hold to the view that Mr. Harding is pro
ceeding precisely as ho should proceed, slowly, cautiously, temper
ately, resolved on two important things, to be true to himself and
to be true to those policies which he believes, at this particular time,
the welfare of the country demands. ; i

Poem For Today
The Beautiful Snow
I love tho snow, tho fleecy snow.
j ranseendont, pure and white;
Descending from tho etliertnl blue,
As angel's wings, In flight.
Then nil the dark uncanny spots,
Are hid from mortal view
Llko holy saints, rolled In wlilto,
Or tlio old earth, born anew.
t hear the merry chlmo of bells;
The joyous shouts of youth.
I see tho holy ones of God
Come forth to tell His truth.

Like the anointed ones so fair,
jii washed; from sin made free.
I humbly bow my head in prayer, .

CHILD FEEDING FUND PASSES $1000 MARK
To the University club goes the honor for putting the Hoover Child Feed,
ing fund in Medford and Jackson county over the $1000 mark today. At a
meeting of the board of directors last night a donation of $100 was voted,
which with total of approximately $000 at that time, sent the fund over the
ten century top, a total which only a few days ago would have been consid
ered unattainable.
The drive toward the $1000 mark was started early Wednesday afternoon
when W. G. Chandler of Gold Hill came to this office and contributed a ten
dollar bill. After a few minutes conversation he said he thought the kids
over there needed it more than he did and contributed another ten dollars.
Then an anonymouB contribution of $90 was received followed quickly by
other contributions. Every contribution above was unsolicited, as have been
all contributions since the fund was started.
Owing to a typographical error In yesterday's list Mrs. Eric Crawford was
given credit for a $10 contribution when the name should have been Mrs.
Oris Crawford. The list of contributors In addition to those already an
nounced follows:

READY FOR GAME
TOMORROW NIGHT
The Red and Illack basketball squad
will complete its preparatory practice
for the Etna SI ills game this after
noon and will then rest up for Its mix
with the northern California quintet at
the Nntatorium tomorrow niuht. The
local men aro expected to show up
well ill Friday's game as there has
been a marked improvement in their
work this week and at times they are
showing flashes of team work and has-
ket-tosslng seen only in season-end
contests.
Coleman and Sherwood, veteran
players of last year, will hold down the
forward berths on the squad when the
whistle blows tomorrow night. Uaufrh-
man will represent Medford in the
center ring while Young and Prcscott,
the clever Red and Black guards, will
oppose the Etna forwards. This com
bination forms one of the best hoop-
teams that ever represented Medford
on the floor and should give tho fast
Etna Mills five a hard run. Since the
title of northern California as well as
this section hangs in the balance of
Friday's game KlUm's men may be
relied upon to do their best.
As a preliminary to the hoys game
Medford's fast girls team will play the
Talent squad. Tho latter is considered
ono of tlio best teams in tlio valley
league and will undoubtedly make it
Interesting for Klum's line-up. ' This
opening game will begiii at 7:30.'
