PRESIDENT HARDING.

[BY VISCOUNT NORTHCLAPSE. }

WASHINGTON, July 30th,

The circular room at the Executiva Cfices of the White House, where Pri- dent Harding receives visitors, is spacious, lofty, and almost cool; the simple and tasteful decorations, like the few pieces. of furniture, are in leaping with its dimensions; but the impression of hour- monious largeness they give is effaced by the impression of human largeness made by the President's own personality.

Quce before, as be kindly reminded mo. I had met Mt. Harding, and I clearly remember his finely proportioned and handsome figure. Well over six feet in height, brand-shouldered, with a torso like: that of a Greek athlete, regular aquilin features, square jaw, mall hands 1 Lest,

and the one of strength

Lis movements, he is probably the most physi cally attractive man in the long list of Presidential residents at the White House. His tropical white suit suits him admirably There is no pose, no affection of simplicity for he is simple without affectation. He is conscious of the great power and dignity of his position, but wears that consciousness as though he had been trained from youth to bear the today mighty burden that lies on his shoulders

A FITTING TRAINING.

On his desk lay a copy of a newspaper, the Marion Star, with the simple alip address used by American newspapers that are sent through the post.

Presi dent Harding is probably prouder of

that newspaper than of anything else he has done, for he made it, and, in making

of his early life, his studies of the law, his work as an insurance writer, and, finally, as a journalist and newspaper proprietor, how singularly this training had fitted him for his present task.

It.is. characteristic of the man that he has made of his newspaper a co-operative undertaking in which editors, managers, and the heads of the mechanical depart ments are shareholders, taking their pro portion of the profits in addition to their salaries.

THE CABINET ROOM.

We passed for a moment into the Cabinet room, an unpretentious, business- like chamber, where the President meets the members of his Administration. in council, each of whom sits necording to the seniority of the Department he repre sents. The President is, naturally, in the chair. but opposite him at the other end of the table sits the Vice-President-an innovation which Mr. Harding and others with him regard as eminently proper and useful.

The United States, Cabinet does not possess executive power. That is vested in the President. It is rather a council for the exchange of ideas upon current atiministrative problems.
