PRINCETON CHEERS HARDING
FOR HIS STAND ON BONUS

Mayor drove him into Princeton, past
saiuting cannon and further escort OF
the Fifth Maryland Infantry. Both
military organizations participated In
the battle of PROJECTION and have been
continuously organized since.
The Blend of Colors.
The party went to the home of DR..
Bayard Stockton, descendant Of Commo-
dore Stockton and chairman OF the
battle monument commission. and
thence to the unveiling.
The monument was presented by Mr..
MacMonnies to the monument commits
sion. The commission presented II to
the State of New Jersey in the person
of Gov. Edwards. who in a speech of
twelve words accepted 1t with thanks
and delivered 1t to the people.
There followed a presentation of the
colors by Sons. of the Revolution. Four
teen standard bearers advanced, each
MES and the Stars and Stripes. The
picture made brought an impromptu
speech from the President, In which he
said:
Mr. Stockton, before I conclude /
want to be just a bit informal. If had
found no other compensation in the trip
TO Princeton to-day It would have been
in two things new to my experience.
One was the presentation of the colors
beautifully done. where l saw for the
first time the combination of the colors
which represented the hopes and aspira-
tions and determinations of the early
American patriots who gave us our in
dependence and union and then saw
these colors blended into one supreme
banner of Americanism-our dear Old
Glory
The other compensation for my com
ing was in seeing the Philadelphia
Troop and the infantrymen Of the Fifth
Maryland. 1t is not so much in the
men themselves and the appearance
they make to-day. but the compensa-
ton is in the thought that the organ
izations which we have had participating
with us to-day have been continuous
since the days of the American Revolu-
ton. They stand to-day and typify
those who gave us independence and
freedom. / think 1t is well. my country
men. and like this monument l like
every memorial to American patriotism
and American sacrifice. No land can
do too much to cherish with all its >heart
and soul these great inheritances. Some
how there comes to my mind the as
surance that in the preservation of these
organizations there is tie running
back to the immortal beginning of this
American Republic, and we of to-day
and the veterans Of the world war. the
sons and daughters Of the men who go
on will keep these supreme inheritances
and carry them on to a fulfllment of a
great American destiny"
The presentation of Princeton Univer-
sity of the degree Of doctor of laws fol-
lowed luncheon at the Stockton home.
One OF it's most picturesque features
was the singing by the multitude inter-
spersed with the undergraduates Of

university by President Hibben. Later

ton at the Hibben home. where Mrs.

this remedy in practice. In what ] deemed
moderate doses. My experience was limited
to two cases. After some three or four years
use OF the remedy 1 arrived at a conclusion
very like that which father had formerly de-
lighted to dwell upon. namely. that tho spank

tects under treatment. II didn't do the sub

something difficult to describe. hut ncvcrthc-

sort OF insane fury to conceal his own moral
weakness Therefore II Is among the less
intelligent classes that one 1nds the most
