Dead Chief X TOT since the entry of *h? United State* A ^ into the World War has >uch a w vr of sorrow spread over the country as did last Thursday night when the pas-dng -r Pesider.t Warren G. Harding wad announced. The president had been ill for about a Week with bronchial pneumonia, but his physic.atiiWhad ami" uncod that he was well en the way to recovery, when suddenly a blood vessel of the brain burst and the nation's chief executive was ushered into the great beyond. In his pas-ing the nation Hoses its first citizen, the on?? chosen to pilot the affain of the greatest nation of the world. And wit), his passing, another son of toil wa? elevated to the highest office within th? grift of the people of the world. The death of Mr. Harding reminds uj that wo a*r all creatures of destiny. That so owe r or later, all of us. no matter what our station, must pass off this mortal cof iato the realm of the unknown. It remind? as that there is a divinity that shapes oui ends, and mayhap, marks our course. The eJewitiorj of both Mr. Harding and Mr. Coolidge to high station in public life speaks loudly in favor of our American Democracy. Both bezan as very poor boys and had fewer o^ortunities than the average * itiz*n. yet they achieved success.
