Bisbee daily review., 1921-05-24

yacht late tonight tO return 10 WaSn- ington.
 New York gave him an enthusiastic welcome. Great crowds cheered him everywhere.
 The greeting that reached his heart. however, was that given by Young America-the 25O,00O school children who lined the route to Brooklyn.
 These children, granted a half holi- day, stood in a drizzling rain, way ing flags and cheering wildly as the car came insight. The treble of their voices rose in a mighty crescendo that brought radiant smiles from the pres ident and Mrs. Harding.
 The youngsters of the lower East Side gave him the noisiest greeting. Once the president ordered his car stopped, while he stepped out into the rain and shook hands with several little girls.
 'I never knew there were so many | children in America" he said Tt is wonderful"
 After the military review, the pres ident walked across the hall to 52 wounded soldiers from the Fox Hills hospital, Staten Island.
 Speaking at the regimental review in Brooklyn, President Harding said: Somehow there is a new feeling in my breast today-I saw 5000 sol dier dead-somehow there has been a prayer in my heart ever since. that there shall be a nation so righteous and so just that we shall never be called on to make war so long as God and men may rule together. I hope you will never be called, but if you are. should only ask that the 23rd serve in the future as it has in the past
 And another impress came to me , today. What a wonderful welcome you gave us in Brooklyn. l don't believe I ever dreamed there were so many children in the United States of America sweet, rollicking, laughing, hopeful children. l don't believe anyone with the responsibil- | ity can ride through such a company of American children as we did this afternoon without having a new re- solve in his heart. I have resolved that I want the children who hailed us this afternoon to have the same liberty, the same rights, the same justice. the same hopes that were ir- herited from those who went before us. l want them to have our Ameri- ca free untrammeled, confident of it safe.
 If you have ever had any doubt about the wisdom of the founders. ask you to turn again to the picture of this afternoon and sec these chil- dren, garbed in essentially the same raiment, participating in the same salutations, shining with the same laughter, cherishing the same hopes. rising in the hopefulness Of youth to the same opportunity in life. An, let DO one challenge!
 Tt may be true that some of these children are not prepared to embrace opportunity, but the wonderful thing of America is that opportunity beck ons to all these young Americans alike. Ask them to enter into the privileges of the republic. And if you want another picture find it be- fore me now. When I was making the inspection was not so much concerned about the shining arms : and the way they were kept. I was not quite so much concerned about the insignia on the shoulders Of the service men who served so faithfully n the war. was rather caught by ) the blend of racial origin in the faces saw in this group the citizens and . defenders of the republic, who, it seemed to me, came from origins across the seas that represent almost every land in the world. Here is youthful fighting America which is 7 the blend of their citizenship of the ; the old world. standing in absolute , equality here, ready Q defend the re. ! public and its affairs. There is noth- } ing finer, than the equality in the United States. No other land offers , the same reward of merit. Let us | keep the America we inherited"
