' And today, we have gathered to

we are undergoing again the bitter
grief caused by the death of a Presi

It is consoling to know that our
people have, since death claimed

Hotel at San Krancisco on August

have gotten back to the ohltime days
when sorrow softened the hearts and
caused people to stop and consider

Thus it will be seen that, although

he nevertheless under our great sys

His success laid in the fact that
he was common man possessed of

His visit among us brought all of
us closer together. His charming
personality was so outstanding that
it commanded the love and admira

At the pioneer dinner where he
and Mrs. Harding were the guests
of honor, if you recall, the dinner
was late- One of our gwnl women
who was assisting in itsr prepara

due the visitors and she approached
Mr. Harding saying, "Mr. President,
the potatoes are not done and the
dinner is late,
is late."
Turning to her with his beaming
countenance and Ids open, frank,
manly way he remarked,, "Now that
is ull right, I have heard that same

was late,." : . , 'i .
A 'Man of The People.
That, death should 1 claim President
Hardihg in the midst of his most
useful administration Is a calamity
to this nation; .
That l tut worhl should lose his
careful leadership, his seasoned jmig
men, his fair deliberation on interna
tional matters is a tragedy,
We as Americans are brought face
to face with an almost irreparable
loss to national affairs. We have
lost the guiding hand of one who
knew the common people and loved
them.
'Wo have lost the wisdom of him
who knew well that our nation is
on the verge ef convulsions; who
knew well that unless tlie.ro is a
reaction to regain morality and
Christianity that the way is dark.
We have lost a leader of broad
vision whose patriotic teachings
might have caused many of our cit
