possession OF any formula by which
mankind may be made happy uni
versally. | like it's self restraint IL
does not glorify the speaker him
self. In every line is recurrence
TO the fundamental principles OF
our government. lie doesn't believe

the world. | like Harding because
a deep reverence breathes in all his
utterances. Parties alone cannot
save civilization and our land. We
have got to keep teachers from leav-
