He WILL FOLLOW LINCOLN
But There Are Several Features OF
HardIng's Inaugural Not the Same.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-While Senator
Harding's Inauguration as president
of the United States is designed to fol-
low arrangements of Abraham Lin
coins inaugural. there are features OF
1861 that fortunately will be missing
in 1921.
Instead OF veterans of north and
south marching side by side as they
will next month, the only military
forces in the inaugural parade of 1851
were the sappers and miners. The
rest of the United States troops in the
capital were stationed in different
parts of the city to provide against
emergencies. AS the nation lowered
on the brink of civil war, the great
fear of the authorities was that effort
would be made to interfere with the
ceremonies.
If President Harding follows Lin
coins first inaugural address in COM
pass, he will do it in less than 5000
words In that space Lincoln made
his plea for the Union and declared
his intention to maintain it.

WITH GUARD OF HONOR
Topekan Acted as Guard When lin
CONS Body Lay in State.

Harry Root, of Topeka, bailiff of the
state supreme court, was a member OF
the guard of honor which was mount
ed at Philadelphia. when the body
of Lincoln lay in state in that city,
on it's pilgrimage from Washington to
Springfield, ILL.,, stopping at various
large cities en- route.
Root was a soldier in the 1S1th
Pennsylvania Infantry during the Civil
war. His regiment das lying at Camp
Cadwallader, Pa, awaiting discharge,
when Lincoln was assassinated, and
was sent to the capital of the state to
do guard duty when the body of the
martyred president arrived there from
Washington.
The men OF the guard were the first
to view the body of their dead presi-
dent. before the public was admitted:
81 saw Lincoln alive. and dead,
Root said this morning. while Grant
was surrounding Richmond, he built
a railroad into the Confederate ter
ritory as fast as we pushed the lines
ahead. One day the Sixth corps was
to be reviewed. and Lincoln came down
from Washington to be present at the
review. Just after he got off the train
the Confederate pickets started to fire
and Lincoln was hurried back to the
train. which was backed away from
the front. and the review never did
take Mace"

Governor Frazier addressed two
meetings at Grand Forks recently on
the crisis that confronts the state and
according to the Courier News roasted
the business men for not keeping their
promises in regard to pledges made
for the mill and elevator being built
at that place and warned these bust
ness men that if they wanted these
industries put into operation they
would have to come across with some
plan to finance them. In other words
he is roasting business men for not
buving state bonds that are not worth
the paper they are written on in the
open bond markets OF the country
They have been telling US all the time
that the state is in good shape so why
is it necessary for the governor to 60
around telling of the impending crisis
if the state is all right. 1t is he and
his fellow state wreckers that nave
made this condition now let them drag
the state out of the mire. State bonds
were good as -gold.-when Mr.. Frazier
was first sworn in as governor and 1t
is his bunch that have pounded their
worth down to nothing. If state
bonds are such fine things to buy we
would suggest that Townley, LeSeuer
Mills. Bowen. Lemke and the rest OF
that bunch should hold few shake
down meeting and sell bonds to these
rabid believers in state socialism in
stead of getting membership fees
The farmers have spent more money
in promoting Townley schemes
money that is absolutely lost-than
would have floated several million
dollars of state debt, kept state war
rants at par, and no school teacher
would be compelled to 60 without her
nav as is the case at this time. III
there is any impending disaster COM
inp to the state it, has been brought
about bv profligacy and mismanage-
ment coupled with the payment Of
hundreds of thousands of dollars IN
promotion fees and commissions that
has put US on the rocks: Ihat IS the
story in nut shell and that is why
our dearly beloved governor now has
to 20 around the state begging for
succor and at the same time using a
club over the heads of the business
men of Grand Forks who have been
either fortunate or unfortunate
enough to have had state eleva-
tor located in that city. The great
outstanding feature of this great in,
dustrial movement is: that the loud
mouthed advocates of q. this new day
stunt are the very ones who are brok-
en- reeds when it comes to buying
state bonds that they are now so
biatantly urging other people to buy
and which they claim advocates of
big business are trying to stop the
sale Of. They want other people to
take their medicine but they take
none of it themselves. In the Ian:
puage of the divine healer we would

The snow which fell yesterday
while it does not spell million dol
lar crop, will prove of immense bene-
fit to farming operations, say Barnes
county farmers who are in the city to-
day. Not for many winters has the
ground been as dry as it has been I'M
til this last snow fall. The moisture
of the snow, will be a great boon ito
the fall sown grain, while it will also
loosen up the earth for spring seed
ing. The ground is not frozen hard
enough at the present time so that the
snow when it melts will run off but in
stead will soak into the ground. Old
timers in the city recall heavy snow
fall in the 8O's. which came before
the ground was frozen. Those living
in the low places along the river pre-
pared to move out in the spring, fear
ing a flood. but the snow when it melt
ed, soaked into the unfrozen ground.
