PRESIDENT H0NORS
GENERAL GRANT IN
TOWN Of HIS BIRTH
Harding Pays Tribute to Small Town
Life In Address Celebrating
Centennial Of General
Grants Birth.

Standing in the shadow Of the spot
at the village of Point Pleasant, Ohio,
where Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was born
100 years ago Thursday President
Warren G. Harding brought forth
great applause from $4,000 persons
when he expressed his belief that the
great Union leader would have ap-
proved "all the republic has so re-
Gently done in joining other nations in
lifting the burdens Of armament and
promoting understandings which
make war less likely"
The great audience which had jour-
neyed there to celebrate the centen-
nial of General Grants birth. cheered
also when Mr.. Harding declared the
sacrifice and nationwide service in
the World War revealed the common
American soul"
Mr.. Harding spoke from stand i'm
mediately adjoining the spot on which
stood the cottage where General
Grant was born. Mrs. Harding, Mrs.
Fred Grant and many othcrs promi-
nent in the official life Of the nation
and Ohio were on the platform. A
group of Grand Army veterans fol-
lowed closely every word Of praise be-
slowed on their leader by the Presi-
dent.
In the absence Of Gov. Harry l..
Davis, who was detained at home by
illness, Judge Hugh Nichols, chairman
of the Centennial Committee, intro
duced the President.
Before beginning his prepared ad-
dress Mr. Harding expressed his
pleasure at coming to a village like
Point Pleasant for an occasion like
that of Thursday.
"I would rather have come to spot
like this" he said, than to any other
in the republic that l could choose.
Not but what have great reverence
for the genius and the determination
and the capacity which belongs to
great cities, but If my observations In
life count for anything | want to say
to you that the one everlasting an
chorage of this republic is in the COM
munities like this in which we are
gathered. In the simple life Of the
hamlet and the village there is the
typical sturdy life of our America, and
| rejoice to come among you and par
ticipate in this celebration"
Cheers and handclapping came from
his hearers when Mr.. Harding said OF
General Grant that 'he only wanted to
sustain Lincoln, whom God inspired to
bestow freedom" and again when he
declared "he fought for a preserved
Union and restored Nation, and sue
ceeding generations are richer be-
cause of his example.
He praised the Union leader as a
great hero and military commander
the unconditional surrender Grant or
the army, who, Immediately on the
surrender Of General Lee at Appomat-
tox, became Grant the magnanim-
ous."
The trip of the President and his
party to Point Pleasant on the Govern
ment tug "Cayuga" was made through
a continuous ovation from tens OF
thousands Of persons who lined the
Ohio River on both the Kentucky and
Ohio banks.
