A DAY OF MOURNING
Friday, August 10th will be a day
of mourning in the United States and
its territories. On this day the mor
tal remains of our late President, War
ren Gamamiel Harding, will be con
signed to their last resting place in
the little cemetery at Marion, where
the greater part of his lite’s work was
performed.
Never since the death ot Abraham
Lincoln, has so universal a spirit of
mourning been entered into by a na
tion. Businesses will be closed and
even train and street car service will
cease for a time.
That Warren G. Harding was a
great man is attested by his common
tastes and democratic mingling with
his people. No other president, with
the possible exception of Theodore
Roosevelt, possessed this loveable
trait. No other president will be so
universally and sincerely mourned as
our late visitor and guest.
Less than a month ago he walked
the street? of Seward, vibrant with
life, and with a kindly word of greet
ing for all with whom he'came in con
tact. Today the body lies in state in
the capitol rotunda, venerated and
revered by thousands of humble wor
shippers at the shrine of greatness.
The spirit has winged its way to join
the other immortals who have passed
before.
May it find a restful peace!
