Praise For tho Pioneers.
Senator HardinS's address in part fol
lows:
You must be confidently and fear
lessly American to measure TO the re
uowned name of Wayne. The story Of
Wayne county Is that OF the great be
ginning of the northwest territory
whose sturdy citizenship was strength
ened by the hardships OF the forcs
pioneer.
The pioneer gave the conQuerinl
westward march OF civilization: Our OBJ
legations are to preserve and dSf"nd
Some day hope We shall fittinGlS com

mcnts Of these courageous frontterSmef
and their strong hearted women.
1T Is worth remembering that TN
pioneers-theSe stalwart makers o.
America-were little less varied In then
origin than our people OF today. Eithc,
they or their fore-bearcrs came iron
lands across tho sea. But they wcr'
thinking only of America. Theirs wa'
more than sole allegiance to the land o.
adoption, they were interested and de
voted heart and soul. They were II
complete unison with one purpose; on,
confidence, one pride,
There have come to me, not at al
unbecomingly, the expressed anNieNe'

No Glasses Appeal.
There is another thought relating t

We want a free America again. w,
