Personality Reflected.
Placed in so high and so con-
spicuous a station, carnations from
his personality radiate throughout the
country, and affect or create the state
of mind of the country. The White
House is, indeed, the biggest pulpit
in the country
''In this present time the operation
of one of those higher laws that work
for the worlds good has brought TO
the White House exactly the person

country away from the turbulent pas
sions of war back TO the normal hui

If you, throughout the country,
y \ ave been able TO sense the curing
and restorative qualities of President
Harding's personality, much more vi

him. appreciate him as one whose
greatest concern is justice and good
faith, who cures excitement with ser

ance, who overcomes violence with
patience, who shames greed with un
selfishness, whose test for every de-
cision is: What does good faith CAL

are being taken as rapidly as possible
to that end.
1t is the idea of those carrying the
largest responsibility that for the i'm

revenue can probably not be funda
mentally changed, but that there shall
be a readjustment of that method pro-

Personally, l am willing to say
most emphatically that this country
cannot go on, indefinitely during peace
