Timber workers, loggers, saw mill employees, all wanted and received higher wages. The price of lumber was advanced time and again until even the staid and off his wages were reduced to $4. The farmer was not a liar, it became so high people would not buy it. The saw mills, which planned to rob the people while the robbing was good, are being forced to shut down because there is no sale for lumber, despite the fact that there are millions of people without homes, who would build if they could build a home for a reasonable cost. Carpenters whose wages were raised from $4 to $5, and $6, and $7 and $8 per day and many of whom wanted $9 and $10 per day, will soon find themselves out of work because of their greed, coupled with that of the lumber workers and the lumber dealers, has placed the cost of building beyond the limits of people who need homes. And so it goes on down the line, in every industry. The people "sowed the wind" and they are reaping or are about to reap the whirlwind. There is going to be suffering and losses and smashes before conditions get back to normal. But we can all look back and think with Maud Muller that "of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are, it might have been." Harding, our President Warren G. Harding has been chosen by an overwhelming majority to be the next president of the United States. He is not to be the president of the republican party, although a republican. He is to be the president of all the people. He is as much the democrat's socialist's farmer.  Labor's president as he is the republican president. When he was elected by the republican voters of the nation, assisted by millions of voters of other parties, he ceased to be a partisan.
