days before Mr.. Harding was in

being knighted Mr.. Harding made
these significant remarks:
Il love these reproductions of
tradition. Tradition seldom has pre-
served anything not worth while. L
have loved the story of Christ. You
can bring it home to every man.
Every man has his Gethsemane.
Every man has his faults and the

it. Some fall under it. Some die
upon it, but the man who performs
service in life never fails to live
again.

only we evidence it differently. The
world is growing better every day.

We are going on to finer and

war isn't chargeable to the Christian
religion. but to the failure of those
who profess it. Too often we take an
obligation carelessly Too often we
do not give it the consideration which
1t should have.
. II am mindful tonight that three
days hence l am to take an oath
solemn one, one that no man can
mean to take that obligation to de-
fend and preserve it in humility and
faith and in the love of truth. i want
your help.
Il want you to realize that the next
administration of the greatest land
on earth is yours. not mine; it's that
Of one hundred millions, and l want the

Should a Bank Loan Money
for Advertising?
By FESTUS J. WADE
President Mercantile Trust Company of St. Louis


WHEN we strike at advertising, meaning,
w of course efficiently applied advertis-
ing, we strike at salesmanship, and the heart
of business. For the banker to do anything
to retard business right now is suicide
When the merchant pulls down his shin
gle and waits for business to come to him in
buyers market, we laugh at him, and call
him poor business man.
When he is forced to cut down one of
his best methods of selling because his banker
considers advertising an unnecessary item of
expense and refuses an otherwise deserved
loan purely on that principle it is my humble
opinion that we should laugh at the banker
and feel sorry for the merchant
Don't mistake my meaning. 1t is basic
banking principle that loan must be we'll
secured and firm cannot borrow merely
because it is big and successful advertiser
But the fact that it is believer in advertising
and wants to use portion of the money for
that purpose should never stand in its way
when it calls on the banks credit department.
