HARDING ORDERS DRY CITY
Text Of Speech
By President
Harding
Veterans of Our Armies:

Veterans OF Our Armies:
This is the special day Of the
nations gratitude, most genuinely
felt and most gladly expressed.
I do not believe republics are un-
grateful. They may sometimes
have the seeming of ingratitude,
but since republics must be like
the citizens who constitute them
we are bound to believe our re-
public full of the gratitude which
animates our citizenship.
Sometimes we reasonably may
ask what are the most becoming
expressions of genuine gratitude.
have seen 1t IN individuals 80
deep and 90 engulfng that 1t
could not be expressed In words.
Grateful souls are sometimes 81
s lent. though ilfWardly vibrant
with grateful appreciation.
On reflection I believe the graft
tude of action vastly sl1rpasses
that Of words. 1t is good to have
the spoken expression. The world
needs more Of it. I wish we might
have less condemnation of error,
and more commentator Of right.
We ought to have much less Of
bitter criticism Of errors, and
more Of approval and appreciation
for things well done. I am not
thinking of government so much
as Of the individual. When we
do q helpful thing for the 'indi-
vidual we help the whole COM
munity. And I like to think Of
the individual citizen as a veteran
OF our contending forces in peace
as well as a defender in war, who
deserves likewise the gratitude Of
his countrymen.
It little matters what war one
served in. The supreme offering
of life on the altar Of American
patriotism was the same in every
one. No man could offer more.
It calls for gratitude unlimited
and unfailing.
HOnOrs All Veterans.
Yes, we are met in memory
is yet so limited that veterans of
the Mexican War are still sur
viving, and widows of veterans
of the War Of 1912 are now on
the Governments pension rolls.
We rejoice that so many Of the
Grand Army of the Republic sur
vive to give us the very soul Of
the day they originated, and we
honor the participants in the
Spanish American War, and with
all the honored older veterans,
we gratefully include the fallen
of the great World War in the
offering of grateful memory.
Yes, we are met in memory
of the fallen, but cannot escape
the thought that the real COM
pensation comes to the living.
The fallen do not, cannot know
of our remembrance of them.
but the living may take to their
breasts the consolation that the
republic does love and revere. and
comfort itself in so doing.
Just as sure as present-day
civilization endures, just so sure
will the Americans of next year,
and the next century, and the

TOLD To
HAL
RUM
Writes Commissioners Oyster
and Haynes on Rumor That
Liquor Is Expected Here.

President Harding is personally
interesting himself in the enforce
ment of the prohibition law in
Washington during the Shrine
convention and has advised Dis
trict and Federal officials that he
expects them to exercise the
fullest measure of control over
the situation to guard the Federal
Capital against possible disgrace
and regret.
Sends Two Letters.
Two letters, one to Commissioner
James F. Oyster, the other to Pro-
hibition Commissioner Roy Haynes,
have been sent out by the President.
AS result of a conference between
| the Commissioners, Haynes and the
local prohibition director will be
held in a few days to put final
touches on plans for strict enforce
ment of the liquor laws.
The President has let it be known
| that rumors have reached him that
Washington viii be flooded with
| liquor during the convention period
and that these intoxicants will be
sold in violation of the law to citi-
| ZOIlS anu VlSllOES alike
President Harding is interesting
himself in the situation for two
reasons, the contempt Of law in
volved and the possibility of serious
illness or deaths resulting from the
distribution of poisonous liquors.
Praise For Oyster.
In writing to Commissioners Oys-
ter, it was understood, the President
expressed confidence in his ability
to handle the situation. He also
| commended him for the thorough
ness in which police plans for the
convention have been laid.
A most effective campaign Of CO.
operation between Federal and Dis
trict officials has been arranged and
the conference this week will see
the launching of a city-wide drive
against bootleggers.
The campaign to be waged here,
it is said, will be the most thorough
of its kind ever attempted in the
United States.
1.-THE liquor laws must be obeyed
in Washington" Commissioner
Oyster said. 81 am bending every
effort in this end
Commissioner Oyster it is said,
in reply to the Presidents letter,
has notified him that both the pro-
hibition and local officials have
been on the alert for many weeks
He also said he feels sure the situa-
ton is we'll in hand.
President Harding is himself a
Shriner. It is understood that he
has informed Commissioner Oyster
that he has every confidence that
the Shriners wifi be in hearty ac-
cord with the plan for strict enforce
ment Of the prohibition laws.
