THE WISDOM OF HARDING.

Our new President, Warren G Hard.

House chair last Friday, the 4th inst.
This is not news to any American.
But we want to call your attention TO
some of his wise, patriotic expressions
uttered during the. making of his inau-
gura address. Here they are

tion.
"Our most dangerous tendency is to
expect too much of government and
do for it too little.

destroy or permit destruction b. force .
"rhe earth is thirsty for the cup Of
good will"
eve cannot sell whore we. do not
buy. and we cannot sell successfully
where We do not carry.
There is no short cut to the making
of ideals into grand realities. -
"Service is the supreme commitment
of life
81 would rejoice to acclaim the era
of the golden rule and crown it with the
autocracy Of service. .

kind which must be Gods highest con
ception of human relationship.
Mankind needs a worldwide bene-
diction of understanding. "
"Delirium of expenditure,
1--WE must strive for normally to
reach stability "
Regret for the mistake of yesterday
must not blind us to the tasks of today.
The most vehemently applauded part
of the address was that in which the
President deprecated our country's in
reference in "the destinies of the old
world And when MIR. Harding de-
clared with great emphasis against any
policy which would Subject our deci-
sions to any other than our own au-
thority," the applause was deafening
as only American throats can furnish.
