ing.
The Lancaster price on gasoline

the town clock struck four, one hour
later. The order of the program was
as follows:

Benediction, Rev. L. A. Arhelger
Hymn, America" (4th verse by
Quartette)
Mr.. Dietz, the speaker Of the day,
made a telling point when he said
that Harding was a type. Lincoln"
Dietz said, was not type, he was an
individual. Harding, however, was of
the common type of American citi-
zen" The speakers thought was
good but he mispronounced common
words and contradicted himself at
times. In general the young mans
address was hardly up to the local
standard of talks upon occasions of
public nature.

LAST Friday the nation stopped for
an hour to pay tribute to the dead

The American people are kind

can be greatly reverent when the

death would have meant much to

If one has something to say OF
fellow mortal who is doing his honest
best in this vale of tears, it should pc
said while he is alive. He can't read
the epitaph on his own tombstone or
smell the flowers heaped high upon
his brier.

TRIBUTE TO HARDING

: The following splendid tribute
: to the late President, w. G. Hard
= ing, was delivered by Senator c.
: H. Baxter at the Memorial last
Friday afternoon:
: My Friends:
q This is indeed, a sad and SOL
= emn occasion that brings US to-
= gether.
A great national calamity has
+ befallen us.
Harding is dead-the Nation
" mourns.
Our beloved President has laid
down his burdens; crossed the
river and entered into the prom
ised land, where peace reigns
eternal. No longer a pilgrim and
8 stranger on the face of the earth,
but a fellow citizen with the
saints of the household of God.
We meet here today, not as par
tisans; not as Jew or Gentle;
Catholic or Protestant; Republi-
. can or Democrat; but all as
: AMERICAN CITIZENS to pay our =
tribute of homage and affection to
the Chief Magistrate of the great
= est nation on the face of the
globe-and place upon his bier
the garlands Of victory.
This homage and affection that
finds expression here today is not
local or partisan, but universal.
Now we realize, perhaps as never
before, that this man,
WARREN GAMALIEL HARDING
was a great man-wise ruler
faithful public servant-giving
the best that was in him of body,
mind and spirit to this land and
people that he loved.
Although dead-yet he lives
and will continue to live, not only
upon the pages of history, but in
the hearts and affections of this
people, with Washington, Lin
coin and Mckinley.
In foreign lands among alien
people, he will be remembered as
a friend of peace, hater of war
and a lover of man, without re-
gard to race, religion or class.
A Democrat in the best sense of
: the word; an ideal American
: without guile; free from bigotry
and prejudice and loyal to the
: eternal principals of Freedom,
Justice and Equality, upon which
: this nation is founded.
