LEGION POST LAUDS
LIFE OF PRESIDENT
Gave All to High Concept of
Duty, Resolution De-
clares,

Had il not been for his high con-
ception Of Presidents duty. Warren
c. Harding, in all probability, would
be alive today, declared a resolution
adopted by George Washington Post,
No. l. American Legion. at it's regular
meeting Tuesday night.
"His deep sense Of obligation to
those remote from the seat Of govern
ment led him to undertake the weari
some journey which resulted in his
breakdown and death. Truly. it may
be said of him that he was a martyr
to duty" the resolution continued"
To the American Legion. President
Harding always had a receptive ear,
said the tribute. "He earned the last
ing gratitude of every world war vet
eran by doing what he could to make
the Veterans Bureau an efficient in
strument in carrying out the eX-
pressed will Of Congress toward the
beneficiaries of q grateful nation. To
George Washington Post he gave the
pledge of apprec ciation for work done
and, an evidence of his interest in
the at, airs. had promised to be present
at til" formal dedication of the post
home whenever that event should oc-
cur"
The resolution continued: THAT in
the life Of Warren G. Harding the
best elements of American life were
exemplifed and that in his death the
nation has lost a valued citizen, the
government an officer of tried worth
and unimpeachable character, the
people an honest and upright man.
THAT his career is one in which all
Americans may take just pride and
in which every citizen may find some
thing worthy Of emulation.
THAT the sympathy of this post is
extended to the widow in her be-
reavement; to the father, comrade
Of an earlier war, in his parental sor
row. and to the other relatives and
friends in their affection"
