MARION To BURY
HARDING AS
LOVED ONE
Simple Services Will Mark
Last Rites for Plain w. c.,
as Town Knew Him.
By BENSON X. PRATT
Nv Cnsmonolitan News Service.

MARION, Ohio, Aug. 8.-One of
the best loved citizens in this city
died last week out in California.
They're bringing his body home to-
morrow to bury him, and his friends
and neighbors are busy today max
ing plans for the funeral.
His name was Warren G.! Hard
ing, and he was born and raised
right in this section of the coun-
try. Most of his life he lived right
here in this city. He worked at
lot of things and made a success
of most of them. Until only a
short time ago he was editor and
owner of one of the local news
papers.
That he was the Chief Executive
of the nation is of but secondary
Importance to these people here.
They're not going to the funeral
on that account. They're going be-
cause they knew him; because he
was their neighbor; because they're
really sorry he's gone and because
they want to pay him tribute.
So far as Marion is concerned,
the twenty-ninth President of the
United States is being buried at
Washington today.
When the body arrives here to-
morrow it will be that of plain
wv. G." That's the way they
knew him.
Mrs. Harding's Views Met.
OF course, they recognize the
fact that he was given great honor
in his elevation to high office, but
the pomp and majesty of a great
military ceremonial does not ap-
peal to them.
They think like Mrs. Harding
does. They want things done the
way "W. c." would have liked
them done if he had his way. And
that's what's going to be done.
But for the fact that high dig
nitaries of the government will be
here, that soldiers, 900 of them
will line the route the casket will
take, and that the crowd will be
larger and decorations in greater
display, this funeral will not differ
materially from that of any of the
towns prominent citizens.
When the body arrives here on
the special train from Washing.
ton the funeral cortege will go d.
rect to the home of DIR. Harding,
the aged father of "W. c."
The body will be taken into the
front room, where it will rest in
state and where the thousands of
people who knew the man init
inatelv in life will be permitted to
view 1t.
The doors are to be thrown open
at 2 p. m. and will remain open
until 10 p. m.
Services to Be Plain.
On Friday visitors may come be-
tween the hours of 9 a. m. and
l p. m.
At p. m. Friday the hearse will
| again call at the home and the
body of Warren G. Harding will
be taken to the Marion cemetery.
1t is planned to hold the last serv-
ices at the cemetery vault at
o'clock.
These services, too, are to be plain
| and simple like those of any other
| of Marion's dead. Just hymns by a
choir, reading from the scriptures
and a brief eulogy by one of his
close friends.
That's the way Marion will bury
"W. G."

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS TO
HAVE MEMORIAL SERVICES

Following precedent set in the
services held for President Nc
Kinley, September 10. 1901, mem
orial services for the dead Presi-
dent will be held in all four Of
the Christian Science Churches Of
this city.
The same services, at the same
time, will be held in all Christian
Science Churches over the United
States. With the exception of the
Third Church, which will be open
at the same hours observed on
Sundays and holidays, all of the
reading rooms will be closed We'd

the lights, and the breeze brought
from these flowers an odor of the
sweetest freshness.
The young man held himself to
the paling and gazed for a long
time. Then, as this writer walked
by him, he turned and said:
Poor woman! don't see how she
stands it."
Then he went back to his little
motor car and got in and drove
away.
All night through, while there
were no celebrities before the ma
tion's shrine of sorrow, there were
simple people who kept it amply re-
membered.
With daylight came the grear
ones of the earth again; and with
them again the claims Of public at
fairs and yet also very strangely a
feeling which recoils from public af-
fairs.
Five days of concentration on the
idea of a dead President, five days
of an acute consciousness of ma
tional bereavement, seem to have
swept the towns public political
simpler and deeper feeling is up.
permost.
A Common Understanding.
Today the crowds that throng the
streets and that fix themselves on
the tiniest details of President Hard
ing's obsequies are thinking not of
dead President, but of a dead
husband and of stricken widow.
The talk of the crowds goes all to
that point. Harding the President,
even Harding the unusually lik-
able and lovable man, is for the mo-
ment just a gigantic symbol of the
common human sacrificing the new
one must go and the other must
stay.
In that mood Of human union in
common human suffering and in
common human sacrificing the new
President finds the town. Warren
Gamaliel Harding has changed the
town for an instant-for a deep in
stant-from a town of tight-closed
minds to town Of wide-open
hearts. That instant is his incalcu-
lably largest bequest to Calvin Cool
idge.

A resolution expressing profound
sorrow at the death of President
Harding and heartfelt sympathy
for Mrs. Harding was passed last
night at a special meeting of Web
ster Lodge, knights of Pythias,
at 1912 Ninth street northwest.
The late Chief Executive was a

Ten members of the lodge
marched in the fraternal section
of the parade.

No Comment On Luck"
while I would not brag about
him and he would not like it if 1
should so far forget myself as to
do so, / think l may be pardoned
for saying that am very proud Of
my son. I think he will make a
good President and am sure he
will try to do only what is right and
best for our country"
Colonel Coolidge would not talk
about Coolidge luck" He smiled
when it was mentioned, but would
make no comment. From little re-
marks one could not help but draw
the conclusion that his creed holds
that whatever is is right. Speaking
of the popular impression that Cal
is cold and calculating, he admitted
that Cal always had been thought
full and very quietly added: HE
loved his mother" That simple
sentence seemed to carry the i'm
preston that the old gentleman ap-
proved real affection rather than
effusiveness.

HARD SAYS
VALUE IS
UNTOLD
Common Human Understand
ing and Sympathy of People
a Rich Heritage.
By WILLIAM HARD.

AS Washington today takes the
body of Warren Gamaliel Hard
ing to its national sanctuary in
the Capitol and then surrenders
it to the train which will restore
it to the local soil that bore it,
the spirit existing inwardly in
Washington behind these cere-
monies is one that bestows upon
Calvin Coolidge from Warren
Gamaliel Harding a legacy of a
value far beyond any merely po-
litical estimate.
This writer stood watching a
part Of the funeral scene In COM
pany with Congressman John M.
Nelson of Wisconsin, leader in
the House Of the La Toilette
progressive group"
Melting Of Hearts.
He spoke of conflicts with the
Harding element in his party. He
spoke of the lovableness Of Hard
ing. He spoke of the grief which
the going of Harding had left
behind. He spoke Of the sort Of
melting of mems hearts that had
taken place. And he spoke then
of what Coolidge could do If he
could feel and lead the sentiments
Of all those hearts-of all Of them.
AS fierce fighter as inhabits
Washington, Nelson was speaking
In the true mood Of this moment.
Toward Harding he had personal
sorrow. Toward Coolidge he per-
mitted himself the speculation of
public hope.
A few minutes earlier this writer
had caught a close view Of the face
of Herbert Hoover. 1t had lost oil
its customary look as Of a man
thinking quick thoughts. It bore
the look as Of a man thinking no
thoughts at all but simply sorroWing
and suffering:
Simple Sympathy:
In the early dark Of this morning,
however, before any public person
ages had appeared, the simple
sympathy of simple people for Mrs
Harding was the most appealing
proof that the town has given
or can give-of its state Of mind
toward today's great public event
About 8 o'clock, for instance, a
little motor-car came rolling along
by the White House on the Penn
sylvania avenue side. It contained
two young men. 1t stopped. One
of the young men got out. He
walked up to the high paling be
tween Pennsylvania avenue and
the White House grounds.
He then did what people in little
groups or people by themselves
were seen doing all the night
through. He grasped two bars In
the paling and stood gazing through
them at the White FSouse lights.
A large light hung between the
great front pillars in the middle
Little lights shone out at the left
on the ground floor, from the East
Room, where the Presidential body
lay. One light cleaned from one
room on the second floor. The rest
Of the main part Of the building
stood dark.
For Mrs. Harding.
Two long high banks Of whit
flowers rose between the paling ant

Elders who wanted coins

Miss Eleanor also went over her
