A DAY OF NATIONAL AIOliJNlNG
One week ago last night i It hpijil of Warren (J. Hard
ing embarked upon its journey to ..that undiscovered
country from whose bourne no traveler returns." For
the past week his body has been tenderly borne across
the continent, and lain in slate in the capitol in Wash
hlgtoy. This afternoon his body will he laid to rest be
neath the silent clods of the valley, in his native state of
Ohio. Today is a day of national mourning, and in every
city, village, hamlet ami countryside in America the peo
ple will gather, at the time of his interment, in memorial
services to oiir departed leader. The people of our Glori
ous Union, all the p.'oplc of all the stales, are sad today
because our Chief Magistrate is no longfr with us.
We can not, at tins I niivi properly appraise .Mr. Hard
ing for his 't rue warth. We are too near the man. Hut
when, in the clear light of history, the story of Harding
shall have been Written, he will iill his proper place in
tin nation's galaxy ol statesmen. We all do knowl how
ever, his worth as a man. Everybody in America knows
him to ha*e been a gc?d and mem gentleman, who pr
essed U'? happy faculty' drtwing h s fellows to him.
Hence, today America mourns ihe passing of her presi
dent, the loss of a good man whom the nation loved, and
who loved the nation. [ " ' ?

Trio Of Nationally Known Men
Analyze Evils Of Coal Industry;
Stress Need For Stable Labor

COL. GUY D. GOPP
Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard; Colonel
Henry L. Stimson, former Secretary
of War, and Colonel Guy D. Goff,
I former Assistant Attorney General
fj of the United States, are among the
ft men to whom the National Coal As
5 sociation, in an aggressive move
| ment to stabilize the bituminous
J coal industry and increase its value
P to the public, has applied for advice.
| Dr. Eliot in a comprehensive let
f ter addressed to the organization's
I annual convention at Atlantic City,
I stressed the importance of arbitra
tion of disputes by non-partisan
?agencies, a tenej to which operators
claim they have long held. Dr.
Eliot advocated the incorporation of
all unions that relate to the coal
indmtary.
COL. HENRY L. STIMSON
"In the public interest," he wrote,
"it is inexpedient that these secret
societies, which collect large sums
of money from their members, and
use all their resources to support
strikes, however violent, should con
tinue to be exempt from the usual
legal processes to prevent violations
or contract and enforce payment of
damages."
Colonel Stimson stressed the need
of constructive leadership and uni
fied front in self organization and
self discipline in the public's in
terest.
Colonel Goff emphasized the im
portance of basic considerations in
the coal labor problem to the whole
problem of American social and eco
nomic development. An attempt is
being made, he declared, to changa

T
the form of American trade unions
into industrial unions as an opening
wedge toward compelling the ma
jority in America, or a militant and
effective minority, to accept the
doctrine of communism.
Investigations conducted by thd
Eituminous Operators' Special Com
mittee, appointed to cooperate with
the United States Coal Commission,
have found that labor is one of thd
principal factors of the cost oi
coal at the mine, amounting to 68.9
per cent of the total. The constant
interruption of the coal supply b*
nation-wide strikes, made possible
by a growing monopolistic power on
the part of the United Mine Work
ers of America, is given as the chiet
deterrent to a regular supply of coal
At satisfactory prices.
Bob is now hankering after the job of lieutenant trov-,
ernor of the best advertised state of the entire foriv
eight, North Carolina, and with that bee buzzing in ijy
ears, Bob slang his sombrero (the one he probably Usp<1
when he was cow-punching on the Western plains, as his
political press-agents are so fond of telling, us) into tlie
ring, before the ring was really drawn, and set forth to
drive his automobile ( not the red racer from which he
was wont to dispense red sticks of candy and lons>-tom
chewing gum, wrapped in pictures of "Our Bob", wbn
he was a candidate for congress) around the world. He
then invited the newspapers of th* state, all of thein\|,0
would fall for it, to publish (paying him in the well
known coin of the realm) the stories of his trip, which
aforesaid stories are, no doubt, designed, calculate-! and
intended to keep the name of Bob Reynolds be ion- the
people, and perhaps get them in the notion ol voting ,ur
their wandering boy for lieutenant governor in the lieu
primary, which they have now no notion of doing.
Somehow or other Bob Reynolds is as prone to piny to
the grandstand as a millioniare is to forget to make out
his income tax. The lime-light is food and drink and air
to breath for Bob. He apparently knows no other method
of campaigning. He must be spectacular. In reality Rob
is a pretty good fellow, with the accent on the pretty, but
the people would never guess it from his manner of car
rying on a campaign for a nomination.
forth in national or international eventualities. It is a
time for strong men and mighty faith.
There are none so low, or who have become so blinded
with bitter partisanships as not to wish with a whole
heart that Mr. Coolidge wil be enabled to make of his,
perhaps short, administration the successful guidance
of the country's and the world's affairs that the times
demand. v . '?
Each and cveiy of us wish him well in his conduct of
ihrnation's businos>,and trust that under the "Just God
y *
who presides over the destinies of nations" happy solu
tions may be found for the perplexing problems with
which the world is bedeviled.
We need to have faith in ourselves, faith in our God,
and faith in our government.

Once more, ladies and gentlemen, we have with us the
]>olitical hat of Robert R. Reynolds, cast into the ring
by no less a personage than "Captain Bob" himself, and
that in his usual spectacular manner, just asi the owner of
the hat, perhaps bareheaded, started upon a trip around
the world in an automobile, apparently for the purpose
of attracting attention to himself and his political hat.

A Meteoric Success
The Willys-Knight Coupe-Sedan has leaped to a pop

For it is living proof that complete equipment and

mechanical performance at a very reasonable price.
Having doors both front and rear, the Willys- Knight
