CHICAGO, June 7.—A conservative
Republican anil proud of it is \\ arren
G. Harding, newspaper editor of Mar
ion, Ohio; member of the United
States Senate and keynoter of the Re
publican convention.
He beileves in the abiding princi
ples of the Republican party, protec
tion, the expansion of American pos
sessions and oemmercial influences,
and preparedness galore; and he
yields to no man in opposing govern
ment participation in private busi
ness.
When the Philippine independence
bill was before the Senate, most Sen
ators opposed to it arose and viewed
with alarm the future of the Filipino
if American protection were with
drawn from him.
Not Harding.
He said America had acquired the
islands by its own valiant efforts; and
that to hold them ami get more like
them was part of the manifest destiny
of the American people.
“That’s history," he said. “Some
people rule, and some are ruled; we
must expand or cease to he a world
power."
His frankness and outspokenness
have made him many friends- person
ally—among Senators who disagree
with him on every proposition before
the body.
While Harding felt a natural grati
fication at being named temporary
chairman at Chicago, he wasn’t tre
mendously impressed. The best
comment he saw on it, he said, was .x
paragraph congratulating Republi
cans on obtaining a man with good
lung capacity.
Harding is ol years old; has a
common and academic education: ha^
wrestled with all kinds of newspup
ering from country—editing up—or
down, as you look at it; served in the
State Senate of Ohio from 1S00 to
VM and has been active in Ohio poli
tics ever since.
Four years ago Harding nominated
Taft and had Theodore Roosevelt for
one of his particular pet antipathies.
Rut in the colonel’s recent assaults on
things Democratic, and in his expres
sions on preparedness ami foreign
policy, Harding has fonud much to
approve, he says.

SELL DURBAR 2nd,
THE DERBY WINNER
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
BELMONT PARK, L. I., June 3.—
The sale of the English and French
breeding and racing establishments of
the late Herman B. Duryea, which the
Powers-Hunter company will conduct
in the paddock at Belmont Park here
today, will give to the thoroughbred
industry of the United States another
British Derby winner, Durbar 2d, a
son of Rabelais and Armenia.
Durbar 2d, which was bred by Mr.
Du-yoa in Franc, won the Derb> of
HU4 from Hapsburg and Peter the
Hermit. Hapsburg defeated a first
class field in the Jockey Club stakes a
little later. After winning the Derby
Durbar 2d went over to France anil
finished third in the Grand Prix de
Paris and his caretakers had a brisk
time getting him away from the Ger
man invasion later in the year.
ENGLAND OPENS FASHION
SHOW DESPITE WAR
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
LONDON. June 2.—Great Britain
today struck the first blow in disre
gard of the Hue de la Paix’s feminine
fashions.
It was an all British fashion show
at Agricultural Hall, Islington, North
London which, despite the government
mandate of wartime economy, displays
all the frills and furbelows of mi
lady’s summer supply.
Wax figures and animate flesh and
blood models display the lamp shade
skirt, the shepherdess’ design ami
panniers, all of which emphasize hips
and fall toward the floor away from
the ankles.
Rich shades of brown and emerald
greens give no hint that Germany has
kept all the dyes.
There also is the wartime garment
recommended for working girls, a
kind of harem skirt—really baggy
trousers devoid of mannishness.
Bathing costumes so complete from
cap to slippery that even Hyde Bark
wouldn’t blush. are a feature of the
exhibition. Contrasted shades o»
plain black or brown promise to be
the prevaling mode on British bathinj
beaches.*
Blouses, waits and other things are
all designed by British “modistes.”
Over 200.000 buyers were invited to
the all British fashion show from
j everywhere including America and
! excepting Austria, Germany, Bul
garia, Turkey and other enemy land.

NEWS NOTES
The reports coming about little
John SeitTert in the past few days
are not at all promising. People
who came from the Turnagain Arm
district in the past couple of days
hoard over ther that the case is re
t arded as gravely serious.
Commissioner Thomas Higgs is now
probably on the way to Fairbanks. A
letter was received from him by this
otlice in the last mail asking that his
Gateway and All-Alaska Review to
forwarded to him there from this
time on.
B. McDonald, the contractor, has
begun the work on the Sixth avenue
sidewalk.
The new national committeeman of
the Democrats was given in this pap
er yesterday as Dimond but it should
be Tom Donahue, of course. Mr. 1'i
mond and Mr. Donahue are partners
and the slip of the mind is accounted
for in this way. Some loyal and sterl
ing Democrats have indignantly re
fused to admit the psychological pos
sibility of such an error if the prop
er care had been taken on a matter
of such immense significance.
Judge J. J. Finnegan has made ar
rangements to occupy the house form
erly occupied by J. Sherman Haynes.
Guy Whitehead will probably go
outside on one of the next boats.
E. Bernhard, representative of the
National Brewing Company, arrived
from San Francisco on the Alaska.
Judge Whittelsey arrived on the
Alaska and will be here a few days at
least.
Mrs. Butts and her little niece,
Audrey Phillips, were passengers to
Anchorage to join Mr. Butts. Miss
Wold, Seward’s popular school teach
er, was another visitor to Anchorage
on the Alaska.
Mrs. Eva S. Gilmore left for the
westward on the Alaska.
It. J. Weir, engimtr in change of
the government railroad at Seward,
vent to Anchorage today on the Al
aska. Mrs. Weir did not accompany
him.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Johnston, the
young married couple, returned today
after their honeymoon trip.
J. E. Davis, of Lewiston, Montana,
and Frank W. Barry, of Seattle, ar
rived today to look over the business
field here.
Alvah Fames, chief clerk of the
Railway Mail service, passed through
today on the way to Matanuska.
Herbert Tozier returned today.
Now that the store fronts on Fourth
avenue are receiving their summer
coating it is worth the time to take
note of the various colors. You will
find how many kinds it takes to make
a world.
It is now being suggested that a
contract be let for clearing the play
ground lot near the fire hall and that
a subscription be taken up to meet the
expense. The ground could be used to
fine advantage for jumping and some
other contests on July Fourth.
It is reported that an interesting
event will take place this evening but
this paper has not received permis
sion to mention exactly what it is.
Congratulations, anyhow.
