Slump of Influence of the
: Presidency in Harding's First Year
By David F. St. Clair
Washington,: March 1. Warren G.
Harding baa been in the White House
one year. No President in time of
peace ever entered upon the duties
of his office with such tremendous
. responsibilities and such boundless
opportunties for personal leadership.
The great war had made the United
States ' the dominant moral and fi
nancial power of the world and the
President the , first citizen - - of the
universe. No monarch ., in modem
times had ever been accorded such
heartfelt homage as. Woodrow Wilson
had received . in Europe after the

?JL to prepare for an easier delivery, but to her child
who should be stronger healthier and more robust thru
her care and intelligence. '--: . :
What is one of the most important things a mother-
to-be should do? j - -
' The universal answer from thousands of experienced mothers
is this : The i mother-to-be should massage the muscles ; and
nerves involved in the function of child-bearing, daily, with an
application of Mother's Friend. Because '
Three generations of mothers record
the virtue, of Mother's Friend for not
only allaying '. distress . In' advance,1
but for assisting nature in assuring
a speedy recovery for. the mother.
So thoroughly has Mother's Friend
proven its wonderful . efficiency - in
thousands of cases, that any. expectant
mother who docs not employ its. use, -as
directed deprives herself of a power- -

But ' the war had not endangered
the American constitution; it had not
exalted President Wilson at the ex
pense of Congress, as Senator Lodge
had asserted. It had morally exalted
the, American people and their gov
ernment. Congress as well . as the
presidency, if they chose to meet their
moral obligations to the world. But
when victory over' Germany was in
sight ' a majority of " the 7 American
people, ; so ' constituted , by disloyal
German and Irish elements, at" once
became moral and political,, slackers
and prevented the party that had con-
ducted the war from making; peace
Such .thine "had 'never before oc
curred in American history. The Re
publicans have constantly boasted of
this unprecedented 4:i event. Senator
Lodge rolled - it under? his tongue i in
his. recent speech before , the Massa
chusetts legislature in Boston. Presi
dent Harding has become ; the chief
personal heir to this momentous re
action in American idealism, and in
stead of seitmgCand S shaping f-, the
great events of. the last year with
enlightened vision and a fluid Imagi
nation, he has - suffered, these .events

cally every move that has brought
any credit to his administration.
What: he calls the greatest achieve

by a combination of Democrats and
farm bloc Republicans in congress, a
reduction of a third to a fourth both
in personal and in appropriations for
the . army ; and . the navy was deter
mined upon in spite of the President,

When the scope of. the arms con

become a promising reality, the Presi

appeared as a pathetic figure before
the conference. He actually had Sen
ator McCormick issue a statement
that the President and not his secre

later he was compelled to make a
humiliating confession that he did not
know that his own delegates interpret

greater than that of road building.
At Raleigh' Wednesday, Commissioner
W. A. McGirt, of the third district,

nounced that the commission had au
thorized the following projects in the
Wilmington territory: . -A

need of a more varied diet If health
is to be maintained in adults, and
growth promoted in children.
A recent circular, number 122, Is

Service at Raleigh, says that defi
ciency diseases often ' result 'from
starvation for one or another of the
three essential vitaminea. and it is
necessary for the good health of man
that the diet contain all three of
these. '.;.
"Dr. Goldberger, of the U. S. Pub

work in the study of the relation of
tne diet to pellagra in the South. He
has called attention to- the fact that
the diet of the pellagrin consists es
sentially of determinated cereal
grains, starch, sugar, sweet potatoes,
and fat pork, a ver ysmall amount of
green leafy vegetables being consum
ed, and practically no milk. He has
changed the food of the Inmates of
institutions where pellagra was seri
ous,' and found both that a proper
diet leads to the eradication of the
disease and that the liberal use . of

vitality to a iarm bloc m his own
party, in Congress. With a Demo
cratic President . and a Democratic
Congress a, farm bloc is inconceivable.
Mr. Harding went to the Senate and
tried to get it to adjourn so as to
put . to sleep one of the chief meas
ures of the farm bloc, the revival of
the War Finance -corporation and the
extension of credits to the farmers.
He did so put the soldiers' bonus to
sleep for 'months and is still fighting
it. A farm bloc would not last a week
under a .' leadership like Roosevelt's.
Wilson carried the bloc in his pocket
but with Harding the farm bloc has
transferred the leadership of the
American people from the White
House to the' Congress.
The great trouble with Mr. Hard
ing is that he has never 'ffiven the
American- people a ; single thrill or
exalted emotion since ; he became
President.-With his known opposition
to. many of the measures of Congress,
ne nas never had the nerve to write
a veto. The irreconcilable Senators
now offer him the bitter draught
they sought in vain to get Woodrow
Wilson to drink. They are demanding
the practical annihilation of the Four
Power treaty and that hue' torso in
tne wane House is ' beginning to
show some slight evidence that it is
supported by a stalwart spinal col
umn. Let the poor man not forget
Andrew Jackson and Grover Cleve
land sat in that same room.
, - Simmons' Bonus Victory.
'The Republicans. have at last been
compelled to accept Senator Sim
mons' proposal .to pay the ex-service
men a bonus but of the interest money
oi tne war debt of the foreign nations
due the United States. Senator Sim
mons single-handed f oueht for the
ex-service men's bonus on this plan
before the Senate finance committee.
'At first there seemed to be a tacit
agreement among Republican mera-
jDers oi tne committee to accept the
iplan. Then word came from Hardine
,and Mellon not to report out the fund
ing debt bill with the Simmons'
amendment attached. '
The North ; Carolina Senator
straightway carried his fight for the
amendment to the senate floor in a
speech - practically challenging the
party cross the aisle to vote his
amendment down. He told ihe leaders
if thev did thev mioit frruvt. ttioi-
l November election1 to be- a day of
suicide for them. But of course they
voted him down.;. .n '
Rep. Fre&r, a . distinguished Repub
lican farm bloc member of the House
ways : and means committee, took
Simmons' speech as a text and threw
down the gauntlet of battle to Joe
Fordney and Nick Longworth in the
committee. Almost word for word he
used the argument of the North Caro
lina Senator and forced f the Old
Guard to surrender.
It is another farm bloc triumph
which Harding, Lodge and McCor
mick will catalogue as another great
Republican achievement. But it was
none other than Simmons who fur-
ton. The people of Bladen and all
that whole section , will go way up in
the clouds in the height of their ela
tion over the fact that the southern
and northern portions of the county,
cleaved by the Cape Fear, are to be
linked together by abridge. A story
in The Star about two years ago con
cerned the ambitious plans of the
Bladen people and their aspirations
for a bridge at Elizabethtown to give
them a - highway outlet to Clinton
and Burgaw and thence northward,
and from Elizabethtown southward..
Should the highways be linked up
southward from Elizabethtown to the
South Carolina line, as they practi
cally are now f rofh the north side of
the Cape Fear, at Elizabethtown, to 1
and beyond . Clinton to Goldsboro, it
is quite possible for automobile
tourists-travel to paBs down that
route through North Carolina on its
way to Florida and points south.
That, would be a highway short'
cut for tourists travel, and Wilming
ton would be cut out in about the
same fashion as the Atlantic Coast
Line's "short cut" railroad from Wil
son to Florence eliminated Wilming
ton from vestibuled tourists trains
from New York to Florida. Before
the short cut of the Coast Line was
built, tourists trains used to come

Whereas, S. B. McLean, Solicitor of
this,, the .Ninth Judicial District of
North Carolina, composed of Robeson,
Cumberland, Bladen and Hoke coun
ties, has stated that he will not be a
candidate for that office at the ex
piration of his present term; and,
Whereas,' Robeson county, in the
person of Mr. McLean, has had . the
solicitorship during the last eight
years, Cumberland . furnishing; the
solicitor, for the eight : years prior
thereto, and Bladen, in the person ex
Judge C C Lyon, has furnished the
judge of the District for the past
Sixteen years, and Cumberland now
has two candidates for the Judge to
succeed the present incumbent, woo
"hereas. E. S. Smith of this Bar
has announced that he will be a can
didate to succeed Mr. . McLean . at
Solicitor, thus being the first candi
date ' that Hoke : has . ever presented
for any judicial office in the District:
' Now, therefore," it is hereby resolv
ed that we indorse the candidacy of
E. S. Smith, not only because in view
of the circumstances above set forth,
we think it fair that ; Hoke should
have the office, but also because we
know Mr. Smith to be an unusually
capable ' lawyer and in every way
competent to fill, the important posi
tion of Solicitor. . ."
