--face the opposition here. He knew it would come and was prepared for it. What he was most interested in, he told the members of his party, was whether he could persuade it. It is too soon to appraise that reaction; but Mr. Harding indicated he would not be much disturbed by what Lodge, Watson, Brandon, or Me-Me would learn whether the people sided with him or with his Republican critics.
Capital Excited About Harding's New York Speech
Expect Lodge's Statemen on Court Issue to Decide Fate of Republican
Washington, April 25—Political Washington was at fever heat of excitement today over President Harding's New York speech in regard to his 1924 candidacy, to his party's fortunes, and to the world court issue. Mr. Harding returned here this morning.
Party
Senator Watson of Indiana also came back from New York and hunted up Senator Lodge to talk about the President's speech. Lodge was expected to call at the White House. Republican politicians were anxiously waiting to hear what he would say after meeting Harding.
To Split or Not to Split
Lodge's statement of his position on the court issues, which he has promised to give out after he has discussed the matter with the President, will give the lesser Republicans their best chance. But whether there is a split in the party.
Mr. Harding returned calmly to face the opposition here. He knew it would come and was prepared for it. What he was most interested in
The President feels that his case and that of the Watson group is now before the people. The verdict will probably determine the President's future, and shows that it agrees with him, he will vigorously continue to urge that the United States become a party of the court. If the other side prevails with the public, he will probably yield him a fine. He slim quietly into the background.
Watson Is Not Convinced
"We aren't going to be mad about it," said Watson. "But the President's speech did not convince me on the point I was principally concerned with British votes. I do not think it will convince the American people either."
Watson regarded Mr. Harding's speech as a fine broadcaster which permitted him to tell his side of the story, and hinted that from now on much less will be heard about the world court issue from the President.

President Storey Of Santa Fe Will Speak Tomorrow
The record of Mr. Storey's career is intensely interesting and for an old reason; it is long and distinguished, but scarcely a single, striking dramatic occurrence has made it so. He got his first start on the team in high school. That was nearly fifteen years ago. Except for the time he spent in school and college he has been there ever since.
William Benson Storey, president of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railroad system, will speak at convention tomorrow morning. The University is fortunate in securing such a man as Mr. Stovay, according to his speech. In addition to his speech, Prof. Waldemar Gellich will play a viol solo.
Has Had Varied Experience From Stake Driver to Head of Railroad
Success Attained by Perseverance
Some people believe that achievement like his is largely a matter of bold strokes. But Mr. Storey does not believe that bold strokes have very much to do with the making of a career. Mr. Storey got his by keeping one foot ahead of the other and by keeping everlastingly at it.
Mr. Storry is president of one of the greatest transcontinental railway systems in the country. He began his career with a 19 years ago as a stake driver at $20 a month, from the bottom rung of the ladder he worked his way steadily to his present post. For more than a decade he was a prominent executive positions with the Santa Fe, where he was right hand man to the late Edward P. Ripley, one of the outstanding geniuses of the century, whom he succeeded as president.
Rise in Position Steady
W. B. Storey started working for the Santa Fe railroad system as chief engineer 1906-09; vice-president from 1909-18; federal manager from 1918-20; and in 1920 was made president. The only reason that the University of Minnesota Mr. Storey at this time is that he has been an annual meeting of the officials of the Atchison, Topca, and Santa Fe railroad to Topca.
Mail Order Houses Grow
"Every employee in the mail order business has one fundamental requirement—and that is brains. We are always on the lookout for men that have great knowledge and else. That young man has a big place in the mail order business. The college student has an advantage in being able to put into practice knowledge gained in economic text books. Knowledge merely summed up business practices.
Success Attributed to Policy of Fair Dealing
"So long as the modern mail order house continues in its present policy of selling the right goods at the right price, our economy will grow; it will grow and continue to grow," said E. L. Orich of the National Clank and Suit Company, in an address on the mail order business because of the department of economics today.
"The mail order house does business on a basis of low margins of profit and large volume of business. The mails made in the catalogue must be backed up. Every mail order customer is protected by the United States government as falsehoods cannot be transmitted lawfully through the mails. The government protects the mail order house in the matter of bad checks.
