Y., Wednesday, September 30, 1931 Number 314 Mr. Harding’s [STIS exlogy of Warzen @. Harding, on the occasion of the unveiling of the monument to his memory erected in Marion, Ohio, President Hoover spoke of Mr. Harding’s “dim realization that he had been betrayed”, Well, if he were to awake and read May Dixon Thacker’s Strange Death of President Harding he would know perfectly well all about it. It was bad for Warren that he had an ambi- tious wife that was a slave to demonism, and it was bad for him that after he was married he had the several clandestine love affairs which enabled the Ohio Gang to get him by the throat. ‘Mr, Hoover could hardly have failed to know all about it, and for him to say that Mr. Hard- ing had only a “dim realization” of what was going on is preposterous, Tt was bad for Warren that he was president while Jess Smith was operating the house at 903 16th St. NW., in between his trips to Washington Court House, Ohio, to deposit the pickings of the gang. Sometimes the gang had as much as $500,000 hidden there at one time. If Warren Harding did not have more than a dim realization of what was going on in that house during his administration, then he did not know much about anything; for in that house, Miss Thacker’s book shows, the Harding administration was managed by Jess Smith and his gang. If you read Miss Thacker’s book, you come to know that nobody can have any private papers of any kind in America, If a detective wants anything you have, it matters not what, he gets, it, and that is all there is to it. It was because Mrs. Harding wanted all Warren’s love letters to Nan Britton that she got them all, to the last one. It is all so easy for “ropers” and “in- vestigators” to lure people away, to make wax impressions of keyholes and to take what they sas Dim Realization want, It makes you envy the pygmies of Africa, Don’t fool yourself that you can hide a piece of paper the size of a postage stamp. If they want it they will find it and get it, whether you live to tell the story or not. But you ean believe it or not, just as you like, when Mrs, Harding showed Warren all the letters he had written to Nan Britton, some of them while he was president, he had more than a dim realization that he had been betrayed. He knew it mighty well. Mrs, Harding even knew where Nan met the president when she came to the White House. And when she told him about it his dim realization must have glowed like a voleano. If Mr. Harding were to wake up and read Miss Thacker’s story of the glass bowl through which passed the $7,000,000 of prohibition graft funds, all under the management of his friend Jess Smith, and if he could read about how the Alien Property matters were handled by him- self, Mr, Daugherty and Col. Miller, his dim realization would shine like the sun at noonday. As for the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills mat- ters, they have been discussed so often, and have found such a large place in the public prints, that one wonders how Warren could have been or anybody else could have thought him to be so stupid as to have had only a dim realization that he was betrayed. He was caught with the goods; everybody was caught; but business went on as usual, and the public, the poor suckers, listen wide-eyed and open-mouthed and drink in the encomiums and look up to Warren and his friends as ex- amples of what American youths should aspire to become. We have a dim realization that they know better, but, as Barnum said, they love to be humbugged. ‘And they have been, and are. But sometime they will see a great light,
