The oath of office wse adminis
tered by Rush Holland of Colorado,
assistant attorney general, in the
presence of a group of friends of
both Mr. Hays and Dr. Work and a
number of senators, representatives
and postal employe. Secretary Wal
lace. George B. Christian, secretary
to the president, and Brig. Gen.
Sawyer, President Harding's phy
sician, also attended the ceremony.
After Dr. Work had been sworn
in Mr. Hays told him that "all the
regret over leaving tlie cabinet is
completely and absolutely antidoted
by the happiness in turning the Post
office department over to you, the in
dividual' Replying, Dr. Work informed the
retiring postmaster general that it
was "not possible to assuage the re

departure."
fhe statement issued by the new
postmaster general follows:
"The postmaster general has tend
ered his resignation to the presi

Tostomce department.
"Impulse of Kind Heart"
"The impression his personality
has made on the morale of the postal
employes has been unprecedented
and it has been altogether for good.
" 'Humanizing the ; service' was
merely the voicing of a wish and the
kindliness which is in all of us 10
some degree, responded to it. It
wss the impulse of a kind heart; an
expression of that intangible thing
called the common touch which
makes the world akin and 'the
letter is now put in the box and not
thrown at the door.'
"He will travel far hut will not be
come a wanderer. He may live
among tha pictures but he will not
become confused, for nature has en
dowed bim with the intuition of a
woman, the initiative of the inventor,
the heart of a wholesome boy and
the judgment of a man-traits that
have endeared him. to all of us who
served under him. It is true now as
when it was written that 'where
there is no vision the people perish.'
Mr. Hays set up new ideals for a
postal service. They have been ap
proved by the American people, and
as his successor in office it will be
my purpose to give substance to his
vision."
Slash Coal Operators'
; Profits, Urge of I). M. W.
New York, March 4. Cheaper
anthracite coal for the public is to
be made possible- "by slashing the
profits of the mine owner rather than
by reducing the laborer's wages, is
advocated by the United Mine Work
ers of America in a statement issued
here today.,
"Mine owners freely admit that
the cost of coal to the consumer is
too high," declares the statement.
"The remedy they suggest, as a pre
liminary to the opening of new ne
gotiations for a working agreement
with the workers, is a reduction in
the cost of digging the coal the
miners' wage which is placed by the
operators at $3.92 a ton."
The mine workers indicate that
lower labor costs will represent a
"bare living wage," whereas they in
sist upon "a saving wage comT
mensurate with .the hazards of the
industry."

"Conference President," Title Applied to Harding; First Year
In Office Marked by Bringing. Many Minds Together
By GEORGE X. HOLMES.
Washington, March 4,If Warren
G. Harding should step out of the
f residency today at the end of his
first year In the White House he
undoubtedly would go down in his
lory as "the conference president."
Conferences international, agri
cultural, industrial ana legislative
have been the outstanding features
of the first year of President Hard
ing's term. There hsve been few
weeks in Washington since March 4
Lot when there was not a confer
ence of some sort actually in ses
lion or in the making. In the back
ground of them all stood the figure
or the president
President Harding ence described
himself as a "devout disciple of the
conference idea" in the settlement of
controversies and dispute whether
they he international, national, mu
nicipal or domestic.
Once during the campaign Mr.
Harding was speaking to a group of
confidents about his chances for elec
tion and the prospects of four years
in the White House. The passage
of time has removed the mantle of
confidence that was thrown about
what he said that day.
"Don't 'Kid Myself."
'You Lnow." he remarked thouaht-
fully. "I don't 'kid' myself that if
elected I will mike the best presi
dent we ever had. But I pride my.
self that there ts one thing I do as
well if rot better than most men
I have the faculty of bringing: men
together; I can reconcile minds that
ere widely divergent, minds that are
perhaps better than my own. And
it seems to me that is what we need
today somebody who can bring men
together instead ot keep them apart.
That was in October. 1920. How
faithfully President Harding has pur
sued the "conference idea" in his
lirst year as chief executive may be
seen in the fact that there have been
more conferences in Washington
since March 4 last than in any other
single year in recent history.
At the top of the list, of course,
stands the international armament
conference, which for three months
met in a steady succession of daily
meetings and at the end produced a
dozen treaties and agreements
which their proponents claim will
firmty establish the peace of the
world for the next quarter, of a cen
tury at least
Two Crises.
It was not only in international af
fairs that the president pursued the
conference idea. In two national
"crises" in the last year he has
summoned to Washington leading
figures in the nation's financial and
industrial life to try to work out
programs of betterment. These were
the "unemployment crisis" and the
more recent "agricultural crisis,"
which is still with us.
Opinions differ radically as to the
benefits derived from these two
meetings of "best minds," but in any
event they both adopted programs
of betterment and adjourned with
out engaging in any fist fights or
damning the government more than
usual.
In his contact with congress and
in attempting to keep a guiding hand
on the course of legislation the pres-
idents pursuit of the conference
idea" has' been even more pro
nounced. A score of times in the last
year the party chieftains " and the
leaders in congress have gathered
about the hospitable Harding dinner
table in the White House to discuss
affairs of state over a good meal.
Sometimes democrats have been in
cluded, although for the most part
the invitation lists have been con
fined to members of the president's
own party.
Are things in a snarl at the capi
tal? Is the party success being en
dangered by the stiff opposition of a
minority-in some committee? Is this
group or that group kicking over the
party traces?
Invites 'Em to Dinner.
"Invite 'era down to dinner, and
we'll talk it over and see what can
be. done about it."
The first legislative conference,
called a few weeks after the Har
dings took up their residence in
Pennsylvania avenue, created some
what of a stir in Washington. Per
haps there was a precedent for it,
but if so it was so old that everyone
had forgotten it, and reporters flock
ed to the executive offices in droves
that night, staying on duty till long
past midnight At the end the pres
ident himself came, bareheaded, to
the big, broad portico and informed
the newspaper men what had been
discussed and accomplished.
Since that first conference of the
legislative heads of the government
almost a year ago there has been a
steady succession of such meetings.
Some of them have accomplished

much; some of them little, tut they
continue regardless.
Washington was surprised and in
terested when they started. The
White House had been virtually
closed for three years the Wilsons
had tew dinner guests and did little
entertaining except for intimate per
sonal friends. Now the capital has
become used to seeing white-shirted
members of the two houses stroll up
to. the White House for dinner and
a chat It has been one of the great
est steps in the process of 'getting
back to normalcy. ;
Department Heads Confer,
Then there was the inter-dcDart-
mcntal conference, in which all the
departmental heads and bureau chiefs
in Washington took part. It was
inaugurated by President Harding
and lashed jnto vitality by the
picturesque proiamty 01 'ilea n
Maria" Dawes, director of the
budget. It still meets at stated in
tervals to listen to the explosive ad
vice of General Dawes on matters of
economy and co-operation.
The bureau chiefs had seldom met
each other before the initial confer
ence. For years they had pursued
their individual ways, each bent on
getting all he could for his own
bureau in the way of money, per
sonnel and ' supplies. If a bureau
needed 1,000 brooms the purchasing
agent went out and bought them,
regardless of the fact that some other
department might have 10,000 sur
plus brooms. ,
The conference idea, vigorously
promulgated by the volcanic Dawes,
changed that.. They now get to
gether once in a while to talk over
their mutual problems.
Outstanding Feature.
The outstanding feature of Presi
dent Harding's first year, from an
international standpoint, has been, of
course, the armament conference.
Seven treaties and 12 resolutions
grew out of that epoch-making event,
and in them ' is incorporated nearly
all the administration s foreign pol
icy that has thus far been disclosed.
.these treaties adjust many of the
international questions left pending
when the democrats retired a year
ago. The far-famed Yap dispute is
settled, likewise Shantung. The na
tions of the world have repledged
their adherence to the open door in
the far cast, and they have likewise
pledged themselves to act as "moral
trustees for the interests of pros
trate Russia. The United Spates has
secured rights in mandated territories
denied by the league of nations;' the
navies of the world have been cut
in half, and the expensive business
of building $50,000,000 battleships has
been stopped.
isext in iinjjui iut-e mii;i national
ly is the conclusion of peace with
Germany through the agency of a
separate treaty.
Opinions vary as to the outstand
ing achievement from the domestic
standpoint, but probably the con
sensus of opinion would point to
Lloyd George to
Resign, Intimation
London. March 4. What was re
garded in political circles here as
seemingly a plain intimation of the
early resignation of Prime Minister
Lloyd George, with an endeavor to
form a new national centerist party
out of the moderate conservatives
and coalition liberals, was, given by
Winston Spencer Churchill, secre
tary f or the colonies, in his address
at Loughborough this afternoon.
1 his party, as Mr. uiurcniu de
scribed it in the reports of his speech
received' here, would be "liberal, pro
gressive and pacific in its outlook, at
home and abroad, and resolute also
to uphold and maintain the tradi
tions of the state and the power and
unity of the empire."
London, March 4.-(By A. P.)
Austen Chamberlain's declaration of
the solidity of the cabinet behind
Mr. Lloyd George has had little ap
preciable effect on the situation
which threatens to bring about the
resignation of the prime minister, in
the opinion of the majority of the
political writers in today'! news
papers. It is generally conceded that the
crisis continues at an acute stage,
and even the journals most anxious
to preserve the coalition government
candidly admit that the position is
about as serious as it possibly can be.
No important development is
liol-rtl fnr until after the weelr rnd.
i Mr. Lloyd George has gone to
Chequers Court, his country estate,
where he will have as his guests over
Sunday Mr. Chamberlain, Lord
Chancellor Birkenhead, Sir Arthur
Balfour, probably Sir Robert Home
and possibly Andrew Bonar Law,
and the situation naturally will be
exhaustively discussed.
Bust of Lord Bryce Will
Be Presented to America
London, March 4. An English
sculptor, Reid Dick, has been com
missioned by Sir Charles Wakefield
to execute a bust of the late Lord
Bryce, which is. to be presented to
the American nation as1 a memorial
to the distinguished ex-ambassador
at Washington, according to the Sul
grave Institution of Great Britain.
A cable has been sent to President
Harding offering this gift to the city
oi Washington.
TheSulgrave Institutions of Amer
ica and Britain also have begun the
organization of a special committee
to .establish a permanent educational
memorial to the memory and honor
of Lord Bryce.

the establishment of a budget sys
tem. The first budget-has been
launched.
In matters of dom(ry(ic legislation
not a great deal has been accom
plished. Permanent taxation and
tariff measures are yet to be writ
tenmuch less passed. The most
important of the measures that have
gone through the legislative hopper
at the capitol are those designed to
relieve the acute distress of the
farmers.
It is against the domestic record
of the administration that the demo
crats are going to center their
heaviest fire during the nminp con
gressional campaign. The demo
crats will charge that . the republi
cans have not reduced taxation nor
effected the economics they claim
to have effected, and that if any
savings are shown they can be
ascribed to the natural reaction
from war days rather than to re
publican economies.
The campaign promises to be a
repetition of that old familiar sight
the republicans "pointing with
pride" and the democrats 'viewing
with alarm."
President Harding rounds out his
first year with the original cabinet
intact, although the . resignation of
Will H. Hays as postmaster ?en
eral becomes effective, today. It is
regarded as likely, however, that
another year will see several cabi
net changes.
In the matter of patronage much
progress has been made. Republi
cans are now sitting jn most of the
appointive offices which a year ago
were occupied by democrat?.
The entire diplomatic corps has
been shaken up,- and there are few
holdovers either at home or abroad.

Leaders Review Harding's First Year
The Democratic View.
By SENATOR PAT HARRISON (D ),
UsIM Sis Stasia tras) MImIwImI,
Washington, March 4. A trail' of broken prom
ises, misrepresentation, apologies and an absolute fail
ure to reduce the high cost of living mark the first year
ot republican administration cl the;
government.
The only achievement the republi
can party possibly can claim was the
passage of legislation at the instance
of the so-called agriculture group a
group made up of democratic and
republican and progressive rcupblican
senators. The amendment to the
War Finance corporation act, grant
ing credits to farmers and relieving
banks holding , agriculture paper,,
would never have passed had not the
anvlfiiilliira Mress t n lea a tt at mt aim S lt at n
demand that the measure be passed. Ls"'"t","3
This legislation when first suggested was bitterly OP'
posed by President Harding and administration forces
in the senate and only accepted when the agriculture
group, backed by the militant democratic minority.
forced it through the senate. This legislation is the
single achievement of the present administration.
Those who now claim credit for the results of the
disarmament conference as an administration achieve
ment seem not to realize that the conference was held
not because of President Harding but in spite of him.
The idea first was suggested in concrete form in Ar
ticle 8 of the league of nations covenant. Senator Borah,
a progressiva republican, introduced a resolution in the
senate that was championed by the united minority in
congress, calling for such a conference. It was opposed
at first by President Harding and the republican leader
ship in both house and senate. It was killed twice in
committee and only allowed to be passed when some
progressive colleagues of Borah and the militant demo
cratic minority aroused such a storm of public opinion
that the calling of the conference could not be denied
any longer.
This one year of republican control in congress must
answer to the country for the "whitewashing" of Sena
tor Newberry of Michigan. The republican record of
this purchase of public office will never be overlooked
by the people of America.
Not one single thing has been accomplished by the
administration to reduce prices and the cost of living.
A little while ago soldiers were being auctioned on the
block in Boston mind you while the president was
publicly proclaiming that living conditions were im
proving under republican rule. Nothing has been done
to alleviate the condition of 6,000,000 men out of work.
The republican administration claims credit for re
ducing army and navy expenditures, but a mere scan
ning of the Congressional Record shows that every single
reduction was forced upon the cower in command .by a
combination of progressive republicans and the united
democratic minority. The reactionary leadership of the
republican party opposed every single reduction.
I here has been no revision of the tantt one of the
loudly boasted promises of the republican party. One
full year of administration and two years of control in
congress has resulted in absolutely no relief.
Not one single bill has been passed of a helpful na
ture which did not have the original support of the pro
gressive republicans and the democratic minority. On
the whole the legislation most necessary to the welfare
of the country was either held or killed in committee by
the republican leadership or passed at the insistence of
the democratic minority. J
The Republican View,
By SENATOR JAMES E. WATSON (R ),
UalM (Islet SMtter frta laeltsa.
Washington, March 4. Americans may well be
proud of the achievements recorded in one year by the
Harding administration.
The republican party was con-!
fronted with Herculean tasks when it
came into control of the government
March 4, 2L The administration's
success in carrying out its platform
can be measured only by the magni
tude of the obstacles it overcame in its
attempt to achieve normalcy.
An era of public expenditures on a
scale staggering imagination prevailed
in the Wilson administration. Public
service was habituated to extravagant
measures. The country was burdened S rM
under a national debt, the interest alone of which was
greater than the total public debt prior to the world
war.
The disarmament conference, called by the Harding
administration, has been an extraordinary success. It
has dealt with questions of the most difficult character
and on all of them has reached agreements that will
have most beneficial results. This conference was the
greatest single step taken to eliminate war in the his
tory of mankind.
Its success is due to the genius and inspiration of
those who directed the policy of the United States. It
is a tribute to the leadership of President Harding and
to the able men he selected to represent the United
States in the conference.
The Hardimr administration one year ago today
was confronted not merely with the necessity of re
moving officials long trained in extravagance, but of
attempting to cure an extravagant plague that perme
ated every federal bureau and department. There was
a huge army of unemployed. Industry was paralyzed.
These conditions were inherited from the Wilson
administration. They are not corrected yet, but in one
year of effort the Harding administration has done
much not only to cure the country's financial ailment
but to prevent a recurrence of the devastating disease.
From a constructive standpoint the administration
has ended the technical state of war with Germany.
This act was essential to the prosperity of the nation
and was a long step toward bringing a return to normalcy.
The budget act was next passed by a republican
congress. This measure already has proven a success.
Its adoption had a healthy effect on cur bine extrava
gance in public office.
The farmers' emergency tariff act also was passed to
provide the first necessary relief for overburdened agri
culture. The Capper-Volstead co-operative marketing
bill was passed only last month' to give agriculture
further relief. Other bills were enacted to helo the
farmer.
The sodiers were not forgotten, even though a bonus
was impossible under existing unstable financial condi
tions. The Veterans' Bureau was formed, consolidat
ing all government agencies for the relief of soldiers for
carrying on the important work.
The maternity bill, one of the planks in the republi
can platform a year ago, was enacted by the republican
congresc It was an administration bill and provided
tor tne care or mothers and babies.
The packers bill, regulating commerce in livestock
and dairy, products, also passed. It ended a long and
violent controversy over abuief com
plained of by 1 4 nil prcduitt.

I Simply Must Keep Pace With Him
Her husband goes out into the busy world every morning.
He rubs shoulders with the men on the train, he lunches with his
associates, he is constantly, coming into contact with other men
in his business. He has gone ahead remarkably during the past
few years.. From a raw, inexperienced young fellow he has
f rown in knowledge of his business, in assurance, in experience,
t is strikingly evident every time you meet that chap how fast
he is developing. Every day every hour of the day is a mental
vigorizer to him. Constant contact with new facts, new expe
riencea and the working out of his daily business problems mean
an ever quickening of his mental processes, and growth to him.
But what about his wife? When he blithely goes away in the
morning she stays behind in their little home in the 'suburbs,
Her.day is as busy as his, but at that point the parallel between
their activities ends. HCr day is taken up by a round of monoto
nous duties. There's the work in the house, there are the chil
dren to be gotten off to school, there's the ordering from the
grocer and the butcher, the darning and the mending. Happy
duties they are, but still she feels that they encompass her men
tality. So the day is gone almost before she realizes it, and
other days, weeks, months and years go by in the same way.
She sees only too clearly the difference in their lives. At
,night, at dinner, and afterwards, brimful of enthusiasm he tells
her about the interesting people he has met and the obstacles in
his business that he has overcome. No such stimulating expe
riences have come to her that day. It is something far away,
these discussions of his with other men. She is proud of him,
but there is a lurking fear in her mind.
"What," she asks herself, "if he should outgrow met What If
he should develop Into a big responsible man of affairs and I
should remain stationary mentally? Would there be anything
in common between us? - No, we would be strangers under the
same robf. It must never come to pass," she says to herself.
Throughout this land of ours there are tens of thousands of
women who are worried over their own mental dead center
while their husbands are forging ahead. It is a fearsome thought,
but there is a solution a solution all powerful a solution which
many women have found has set at rest forever their well
grounded fears. This solution is found in the great Encyclo
paedia Britannic.
No matter what subject comes up, whether it's a great
political topic or industrial, economic or social issue, the Bri
tannica gives the woman a grasp of the subject which is most
astonishing. Perhaps the conversation touches on art, literature,
any of the sciences or philosophy the Britannica will be the
means to a clear understanding and even an erudite knowledge
of these subjects. The Britannica also gives helpful articles on
domestic science, on child welfare, on hygiene, on home furnish
ing, in fact, this wonderful work is the greatest collection of
knowledge on every subject. '
For the woman who wishes to keep pace with her husband,
who wishes to remain ever a companion, a helpmate, his adviser,
who wishes to keep abreast of the times, of the great develop
ments in every field of thought and action, the Britannica will
