IS FOR DISARMAMENT
The New Executive Favor Formulation of an Association of Nations for Conference
Washington, March 4—President Warren G. Harding was in office less than an hour today before he broke a precedent. He also established it record in getting down to official business.
Proceeding . from the inauguration to the senate chamber, he went into executive session with the senate, proceeding his nominations for the catiline.
There was no light on any of Harding's selections, not even Herbert Hoover, upon whom Senator Reed of Missouri said to have the intent to defeat. Reed decided that a one-man fight was never worth it, he said.
Inaugural Stand, Washington, March 4—At 11:09 'clock today, Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, repeated in a clear, firm voice the oath of president of the United States, Before the cheering had died away, Harding stepped forward and extended his arm in a jesture, embracing the crowd of 500,000, and started his anagural address.
Ten feet away, with eyes upon his face, stood Moe. Harding, Grouped about were digitaiates of the government, representatives of foreign nations, and a concourse of everyday American citizens.
Harding's voice, as he delivered his address from manuscript, was firm, resonant and a trifle husky. Repeated shouts of approval from the strong testified that his words were carrying to the very edge of the dark multitude. Vice-President Coolidge stood at the podium, speaking directly behind her, Harding, whose interest in her husband's speech was noticeable.
NUMBER 107.
Washington, March 4—President Warren G. Harding, in opening his inaugural address said: "My country, when one surveys the world about him after the great storm, noting the marks of destruction and yet rejoicing in the ruggedness of things which withstood it, if he is an American, he breathes the clarified atmosphere of regret and new hope. We have seen a world passing and spend its fury, but we contemplate our republic unshaken, and hold our civilization secure, Liberty—liberty within the law—and civilization are inseparable and though both were threatened we find them now secure and there comes to Americans a profuse celebration of the present government is the highest expression and surest guarantee of both."
In regard to an association of nations for the purpose of which would be the preservation of world peace, the President said in part:
"The recorded progress of our republic, materially and spiritually, in itself proves the wisdom of the inherited policy of non-involvement in old times. It also provides us with ability to work out our own destiny and jealously guarding our right to do so we seek no part in directing "the destinies of the old world. We do not mean to be entangled. We will not怨 no responsibility except as our own."
"We are ready to associate ourselves with the nations of the world, great and small, for conference, for counsel, to seek the expressed views of world opinion, to recommend a way to approximate disarmament and re-establishment of the sea and naval establishments. We elect to participate in suggesting plans for mediation, conciliation and arbitration, and would gladly join in that expressed conscience of progress, which seeks to clarify and write the 'laws of international relationship, and establish a world court for intelligible questions as nations we agreed to submit "beretera."

Civils Meet Mechanicals In Departmental Debate
The debate between the Civil Engineering Society and Mechanical Engineering Society has been postponed since the meeting in Hall, at 30 o'clock March 10.
At the first of the school year, the Civil Engineering Society challenged each of the other departmental organizations in Marvin Hall, to a debate, but, as yet, the Mechanical Society is the only one to accept the challenge. The question raised was whether it solved: That labor should have a share in the management of industry through representatives of its own choosing. This is the same question to be used for the Kansas-Missouri debate, and also for the annual argument between the law and engineering departments. The engineering societies are working hard, and the students of both departments are confident of victory.
CROWDS SEE OLD MAN
LEAVE WHITE HOUSE
Wilson Leaves A Broken Man,
Too Feeble To Attend
Ceremonies
Washington, March 4- President Wilson today left the White House for the last time, a halting, ashen figure, exerting every ounce of his will power. A crowd had gathered outside the White House grounds to see him and Hardling leave for the Capitol, and stood hushed in silence at the sight of the gray haired man, chuffing to a waiting automobile. When he reached it, the attendants rushed to him, shutting down side. During the fifteen-minute ride from the White House to his mansion, he was oblivious to the crowd, which cheered him intermittently. Not once did the President lift his eyes.
Scores of senators and representatives came to his room to wish him well, and just before he left, Senator Lodge, his bitter political opponent, fined him. Lodge stood across a table from Wilson and wished him health and success. They did not shake hands.
Wilson reached his F street residence about 1:30 o'clock, and retire to his room for a rest.
Upson arriving at the Capitol, all except President Wilson left their ears at the east end of the Senate wing. Unable to elimin the long flight of stairs, he was driven to a high building to join him to the President's room in an elevator.
President Wilson, upon the advice of his doctors, did not stay for the inauguration. He left after signing and went at once to his new home.

DOCTOR WARD TALES BEFORE OPEN FORUM
"Labor Asks the Same as Education," Says Social Leader
Leader
After the talk by Doctor Ward, the meeting was thrown open to discussion.

Speaking of the rights of the laboring classes and their demands on society he said: "The laboring classes want a chance to move. They want to be free from the servitude so they can feel assured of a livelihood. The public first concerns itself because labor works for too long hours, then it is next trying to get them paid."
"Many of the laboring groups go to night schools in order that they may be better citizens, but they want better opportunities of culture for their children and do not think all advance teachers for 'the children of their employees.
Doctor Ward also brought out "that labor wants a means of development for the children. Study the conditions in your own University, are there many children of miners here? There are many children of farmers as those owning farms?" The statistics show that the number is much smaller.
"They want a chance for self expression," another point brought out by Dr. Ward. "In these days labor means little but a name on the pay roll to most employers, and not a socially responsible person. Laborers have no chance to express their individuality in their work. The demands of labor are legitimate, and demand work is necessary." If society is to endure, the mass of people must have these advantages."

World Expects College Trained To Organize Business and Professional World
COMPETITION SHOULD GC
Talks in Fraser This Afternoon And Evening Complete Series
Chancellor Lindley in introducing the speaker mentioned the fact that several years ago he was stirred by a letter from his relations" written by F. Harry, W. Fard
Dr. Harry F. Ward, professor at the Union Theological Seminary at New York City, spoke at Convocation this morning on the subject, "Is the Church Involved in Open Formation?" he spoke in open form in Fraser Hall last night and will continue his series this afternoon and evening. His subject this afternoon at 4:30 will be "The Church and Industrial Relief" which will begin at 7:30 will be on "Why Work."
In opening, Dr. Ward said: "Whatever other differences you may have, this common principle runs through all it is the bond holding you together the refusal to deny the brotherhood of man.
"The great point of contact between science and religion is that they are devoted to the common advancement of mankind," said Dr. Ward. He cited the reply of a group of scientists who searched for deadly poison gases. The scientists declared that they were unable to comply with the request, as they did not consider this a proper pursuit for scientific men, because science was devoted to the advances of mankind and not to its destruction.
"Brotherhood is the common ideal of all, the great purpose of existence," declared the speaker. "We must find the path to brotherhood or wipe out our very life in class conflict. We must either achieve brotherhood, or civilization decays." In showing the rotation of the ideals of brotherhood to the business world, Dr. Ward quoted a successful banker who said: "The only way we were compelled to do under present business methods do not agree with the ideas we talk about, and we must keep silent for fear of being called hypocrites, and sometimes for very shame ourselves."
"Let all, who adhere to the idea of brotherhood ideal, strive to make his trail a democracy on a brotherhood trail a democracy for public service. Much of modern society is not organized on a brotherhood basis. What will happen to the ideal of brotherhood? Will it be possible that impossible?" asked Mr. Ward.
"How are we going to achieve a brotherhood when men must strive on a competitive basis for their daily broad," asked Mr. Ward. In talking to a group of eastern lawyers on this question, Mr. Ward learned that the goal was to be more "tivacious." "How are we going to make a brotherhood possible," was his question. Vocations, professions and trades must be organized on the basis of brotherhood, they must cease to be afraid of competition among their individual gains, and must work for the common good of the people.
"The world expects college trained men and women to organize the business and commercial world into a brotherhood. What part are you going to play?" asked Dr. Ward's closing challenge.
