Although a policy committee for HARDING APPROVES ADDITION TO PARK Says He Will Back Legislation to Add Mountain Range to Yellowstone Area ON BOARD PRESIDENT HARDING'S SPECIAL TRAIN, July A.P.)---Two days spent by President Harding in Yellowstone National park has the effect of making him a strong advocate of the proposal to add the Teton mountain region to the park area.

The chief executive shortly before leaving the park late Sunday, after having traveled through it and obtained a welcome surcase from the almost continuous train rides of the western trip, indicated that not only would he approve legislation to add the Teton mountains to this park, but that he would use his influence to bring about the passage by congress of such an act. Both the president and Mrs. Harding has visited the park previously, yet each declared on boarding the train at Gardiner last night that Sunday and Saturday had been two of the most pleasant days of the trip. Also both of them appeared to have been refreshed by having gotten away from the cities and crowds. The proposal to add to the park the Teton mountains, now embraced in the state of Wyoming and covering an area of about 1,500 square miles, has been agitated for several years throughout the west and by thousands who visit the park annually.

Stock men in Wyoming, however, have opposed the move. The Teton region now is reserved largely because of its being a refuge for elk. These animals are increasing in number and stock men see the time when the area will be thrown open to them. A bill to the Teton region to the park was introduced in the last congress, but not acted on. LANCING STATE JOURNAL MONDAY, TWO.

SHUBEL N. Washington Ave. HARDING SEEN AS AN IDEALIST Would Be a Roosevelt or Wilson, Lawrence Thinks By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright 1923 by The State Journal) HELENA, June 30- President Harding is aspiring to the role of moral leadership which gave Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt their hold on that great body of independent voters, sometimes called "Progressives" swing the balance of power in the American electorate today. Tinging his speeches in Idaho and Montana with a little of what might in other days have been called "radicalism" the president made these significant declarations: First, recognizing that his Hutchinson, Kansas, speech, didn't go lem, to he the came root out of the four farmarertor the principle of co-operative marketing by the producer with a hint of co-operative buying by the consumer if the middle man didn't take warning. Definite plans have not been worked out.

but will be submitted to Congress next fall. Second, he struck boldly at those republicans of the conservative variety who since the campaign of 1920 have sought to convey the impression that with Harding in the White House, union labor would be fought with the infiuence of the federal administration and that the "open shop" would be made the rule rather than the exception. Living Wage. Third, the president preached a sermon on proper relation of woman to the pointed out that social justice demanded living for the father, lest the mother, too, be compelled to work to support the family. Mr.

Harding's statement in his speech here that the high scale of wages brought by the war had done a great deal to correct iniquities in America's economic system was coupled with remarks that he didn't sympathize with those who shout for "deflation of labor" or who advance the argument that "wages must come down and union labor This will have an important bearing on the next campaign. Fourth, preaching the outlawry of war, the president took a leaf out of Senator Borah's book of ideals in the senator's own state. Incidentally, the eagerness of Senator Borah to be seen with the president in Idaho and the inIterview given by him approving Mr. Harding's world court scheme as amended in the St. Louis speech means nothing more nor less part of than Mr.

a Borah recognition that on in the campaign of 1924 he must be a regular republican in Idaho if he wants to be re-elected. Mr. Borah has slowly but surely been disavowing connection with third party movement for president. Idaho republicans say Borah must come in line and be a regular it he wants to be re-nominated. They have successfully amended the primary law SO that Mr.

Borah must cater to the regular organizaiton in the state which is pro- Harding. The Helena speech was distinctly pro-labor. It was utterly unlike any previous addresses in which Harding was wont to balance what nice things he said about labor with some equally weighted phrases about the rights of capital. The president felt this was an opportune occasion however to rid his administration if possible. of the employer influence which Samuel Gompers and others have been persistantly attempting to fasten on it, especially since Mr.

Harding didn't recognize their candidate for secretary of labor at the outset, and since Charles Dawes of Chicago, intimate friend of Mr. Harding, started his "minute organization to help the the "open shop" in American industrial aware," warfare. said the president in his prepared speech at Helena, "That there were some who imagined before the present administration was voted into responsibility, that it was going at least to acquiesce 1f not definitely sympathize with for the deflation of projects Jabor and the overthrow of labor organizations. Before this their time these have come to realize error. Nothing has been farther from the purpose of the present administration than any thought of destroying the rights of either labor or captial to organize and each deal in its organized capacity." Harding in one part of Mr.

speech made an answer to his the contention of Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who insists that the States Labor Board is United in rebuking the Pennsylwrong vania for failing to recognize the elected spokesmen of the shop and clerical unions not afcraft filiated with the labor organibations created and managed by the Pennsylvania itself. "The right of organization and of co-operative dealings," said the president in this connection. "is not any longer the special of capital. The right of men and prerogative management and brains and skull, and brawn, to organize, to bargain through organizations, to select their own leaders and spokesmen, is no wit less than is the right of management and of capital to form and work through those great concentrations of interests which we call corporations."
