WE MOURN
GLOOM today enshrouds a nation that yesterday
had every reason to hope that the cup of bitter
ness would pass over.
a.'... The president of the United States is dead.
':' A slight tremor, perhaps a hemorrhage of the
brain that for years had thought solely of his country's
weal, perhaps a lesion of the heart that for a lifetime
had sustained him in every loyal beat in the path of
duty and service and Warden G. Harding had gone
on that last eternal voyaging, to the land where earthly
titles and honors count as naught, but where he will
be judged by his record of faithfulness and of duty
well done.
.'"'.The people of America are sorely stricken today.
And in the humble huts of peasant Europe, among the
far flung places of the world, hearts will droop and
eyes' will fill when the ill news is told for the humble
and the down-trodden of the earth have lost a valuable
protector and a staunch and steadfast friend.
f The passing years alone can give the view per
spective that enables the historian to write truly of
the worth of human achievement.
We cannot tell today how great was the man who
has so suddenly been called from his high position to
the judgment that waits for all. . . . .
But there is a feeling among his countrymen that
when the waves of trivial differences settle, and the
calmer judgment of after years can give judicious
measure to the accomplishments of his too brief period
of administration, that Warren G. Harding will be ac
claimed one of the great presidents of a nation that
has produced many great leaders.
; He entered upon- his office at the close of the
greatest war of all wars. The struggle that had shaken
the old world to its foundations had jarred. America
to the core. Its aftermath was bereavement in thou
sands of American homes, something akin to panic
and cessation in American commerce and industry,
and upon the shoulders of the American people rested
a terrific load of war debt.
; Calmly he set about the gigantic task of wiping
the tears from the eyes of those whose kindred had
gone down in the fray; of restoring the confidence of
those who direct the business affairs of the nation;
of clearing up the wreckage and establishing a stand
ard of economy in national affairs, that resulted in a
short time in lopping from the war debt of America
one billion of dollars.
The full measure of his success is for the future
toijudge; but we who have watched the stabilizing
Influences at work during the past two years know
that he wrought well. '
' His was not a figure to inspire awe. Just a, plain
hard-working American, with an abiding faith in the
ability of the people to govern, a full confidence in
the success of the democratic experiment, endeavor
ing' to do the duty to which destiny had called him,
leading, directing, advising and being advised by his
countrymen, working with them for the common bet-
terment of their beloved country.
. . His was not a figure to inspire awe and yet in
the chancellories and parliaments of the worid his
name commanded the utmost respect, and respect for
America gained and grew steadfast the world over
because of the firm and self-respecting attitude of
America's president.
But the. chief characteristic of his nature, and
perhaps it will be found that it was this noble attribute
that made him great, was love love that sought to
avoid any addition to disputes of which the world
already had an overflowing plenty, that held him to
the path of peace, that caused him to seek ways to
mend conflicting viewpoints in order that the great
goal of universal peace and goodwill might be recahed.
; His patient course has evoked differences of opin
ion, and has brought criticism, but the men who criti-

cized never questioned his sincerity of purpose, and
the differences of opinion never dimmed the per
sonal admiration of the critic. Such h the power
of love.
And Warren G. Harding would not have had
it otherwise. He was too good an American to have
done aught but welcome the honest differences of
opinion, that are the life forces of democracy, t
And so today he is gone. Like the soldier of
the ranks the commander-in-chief of the American
forces has perished at his post; succumbed to the
hardships of a trip that he considered a duty, a trip
inspired by a desire to know better the personnel
and problems of the people of the farthest Amer
ican places.
The great commander, the loyal patriot, the
chief magistrate of the nation, the affectionate hus
band, the dutiful son, the typical American citizen,
is dead. ;
We weep today a loss that seems irreparable.
How much he might have accomplished had he been
spared can only be guessed, but the good achieved
in the brief time that he held office was great, and
we have shared its blessings. The national catas
throphe touches each of us as a distinct personal
bereavement. ,
No fulsome flattery can add to his fame. He
lived and died calmly, bravely, facing each day with
courage, and each night, even to the last dark night,
in sublime peace and hope and faith. Two lines'
occur that describe fittingly his life and its parting:
' "He did his duty, all a brave man could ; .
And perished nobly as a brave man should."
