lofty patriot, faithful friend and low

passed onward into the great beyond

paid to him than had ever been paid
to any other human being on the face
of the earth.
On last Friday, the day Of his fu-
neral, at Marion, Ohio, more than two
hundred thousand people were present
to witness the last sad rites performed
over his mortal remains. and hundreds
Of millions Of people in every part Of
the globe joined in the memorial serv-
ices held in honor of his everlasting
memory, which will for many ages TO
come continue to linger in the hearts
Of his fellow countrymen. Here in
this city it seemed that all Of its citi-
zens were bowed down with great
grief and untold sorrow over his death
and at three o'clock on that afternoon
hundreds Of thousands Of people stood
around on the streets with uncovered
heads with their faces turned towards
the east and the street cars. autos and
every line Of business came to dead
stand still for fully FIVE minutes and
the same respect was shown for his
memory not only in the other parts Of
the United States but also throughout
the whole civilized world.
No other person since the days OF
Alexander the Great has ever had
such high honors bestowed upon them
On the occasion Of their funeral
Sometimes We are forced to believe
that the American people wanted to
impress this one idea on the minds Of
the people in other parts Of the world
that it was their solemn duty to dis
play their true patriotism and to show
to the reds and to other enemies to so
ciety, law and order that the govern
ment At Washington still lives and
that it viii continue to live regard
less Of the death Of the president Of
the United States.
That was one reason why SO many
people honestly felt that they were
proving their true Americanism BY
paying a greater or a higher tribute
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-08-18

As stated in the last issue Of this
newspaper that the people throughout
the whole world in the days Of Alex
ander the Great came within an ace Of
weeping themselves blind over his
death, that more honor and homage
had been paid to his everlasting mem
ory than to any other human being
who had walked upon the face Of the
earth prior to or since his day and
generation.
It seems that the whole world wor-
SHIPPED at the military feet Of Alex
ander the Great, hence the universal
weeping on the part Of the people at
the time Of his death
This holds true on the part Of the
late President Harding, for it viii be
recalled that only short time ago
many Of his fellow countrymen had
already lost unbounded faith in him
and at the Congressional election in
1922, less than one year before he
closed his eyes in death, the vast ma
jority Of the American people being
very tickle minded and changeable, re-
jected or rephdiated his governmental
policies at that election and at the
time Of his death in the far west there
was a strong undercurrent against his
reelection in 1924. and many Of the
leading daily republican newspapers
had already and were joining in the
movement to assist to bring about his
defeat At the next presidential election.
All Of this tends to prove that Presi-
dent Harding was not the true or
perfect idol Of the American people.
Notwithstanding that fact, when he
very peacefully wound up his earthly
career in the far west. while his faith
fuI wifes Mrs. Harding, was sitting by
his bedside reading to him for the last
time Or this earth. the people in all
parts Of the world wept and mourned

to the memory Of President Harding
than they have ever paid to the mem
ory of any other chief executive Of
this great and wonderful country.
President Harding was an eminent
statesman but in our humble opinion
he was not in the same class with
Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe,
James Madison, Andrew Jackson,
Abraham Lincoln, U. 5. Grant, Grover
Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt,
nor with Woodrow Wilson, who
turned the whole world upside down

he laid down to save the lives Of mil

Never in all the history of the coun-

50 faithfully could it BE- said with
equal truth that any man had grown
50 rapidly in the quality Of statesman

and affection of all classes and condi-

kind man, whose heart beat In unison

the people are ever ready to worship

It is that class Of fighting presidents
