We are commemorating today the signing of the urmistice of two years ago which ended the strug- gle between the central empires upon the one side and practically all the other powers of the world | upon the other. Upon that day, November 11, 1918, there was a mighty weight of anxiety lifted from the hearts of American fathers and mothers. 2) What occurred in Wyoming when the boys Marched away was a counterpart of what took place all over the nation. ® Those compelled to remain behind, had no fear for the security of the land these boys were to defend. We knew them all, We knew. the mettle of them. And in the great tests to which they were subjected, they proved themselves wor- thy of every confidence. «If we recall rightly our boys were the first to Break through the Hindenburg line. “The most impressive thing, and the - most American, on their return from the battlefields of France, was the absence of the heroic. They fil- tered back into the home community upon their dis- tharge, laid aside their uniforms and went to work. ‘vs. This republic has always expressed its gratitude to its defenders, in war, in ,practical and proper ‘manner. Its delft to the legionnaires is acknowl- ‘edged. The people will see that it is discharged in full as the years pass. Today, we are paying special honor to the boys who guarded the emblem of. our country at home and abroad, The one regret is that there are those © cannot answer the roll call, It is a privilege today to join in the tribute to Mic flower of American manhood that will directly ‘aSsume the direction of the affairs of the nation they have protected from harm. That they are worthy of the responsibility, their past service is guarantee. = Just as we thought: Warren Harding was too Smart to accept a battleship for his private trip to ‘ canal zone. The country remembers, with ame, the use the Wilson outfit made of govern- Ment property in the last few years and the cost the people. CAN YOU GRASP IT? The fedetal government collected for the fiscal Fear ended June 30, 1920, the colossal sum of $5,408,075,068. This sum is incomprehensible #8 everbody. Only by comparison with things with which we are familiar can we get anything like an @gcurate idea of it. ™ Treasury experts have gone to: considerable Pains to reduce the vast sum to understandable ptatals terms. Here are some of the tesults: = According to the latest census reports there are 105,000,000 people in continental United tes. This means a levy of $51.55 for-every aan, woman and child in the country. = As a means of overcoming the shortage in hous- ig throughout the natiq:, this cash would: build ffiore than 2,500,000 modest five-toom cottages, CBsting $2,000 each, sufficient to house more Den ¥3,000,000 people, allowing five to a family, or the efitire population of New York State, or twenty- seven of our less populous Western’ states of less than 500,000 population each. This money also would give to each of these individuals a Ford au- tmobile costing $465 eacli. == The earliest dawn of recorded history was about 5,000 years before Christ, 7,000 years ago, tye the ‘present century. If Adam had begun working on the first day of life at $1.47 a minute—$88.16 an hour, . or g 16 a day, working every day since, taking no days or holidays, not even stopping for lunch sleep, carefully saving all his carnings, not even ins Eve a new dress or spring hat, having no Wentieth century high cost of living to pay, he Would yet lack eighty years of having earned an afmount equal to our 1920 taxes. ‘© In silyer dollars the vast amount: of money Wauld reach from New York to San Francisco with Miough left to run a silver cable across the Atlantic an. £ The distance from New York to San Francisco 3826,828 miles.

Kahn, the eminent New York financier and philanthropist, speaking of changes that are imperative under the incoming Republican national administration, thus outlines the duty of business: “I€ business is to be accorded that measure of influence in the common councils to which it is justly entitled, business men must not fail—as they have too often failed in the past—to recognize in time the need and to heed the call for changes from methods and‘conceptions which have become un- suitable to the time and out of keeping with ration- | ally progressive development. “True, ‘it is but in the nature of things that business men, responsible as they are, not only for their own affairs, but often, in a direct or indirect sense, trustees for the affairs. of others, should lean toward that which has withstood the acid test of experience and should be somewhat diffident to- ward experiment and noyel theory. But due ob- servance of legitimate conservatism is far from being identical with, or justifying a tendency to- ward unyielding Bourbonism. Indeed, it is not only the of business men as good citizens, but it is distinctly in the interest of business as such, to give timely and sympathetic aid in a constructive way toward realizing reforms when justly and wisely called for. “The way to preserve the vigor, vitality and | prosperity of an old established business, is to in- fuse new blood from time to time and to be hos- pitable to new ideas. The same holds true of the established order of things in the state. True con- servatism consists not in barring liberal tendencies and novel conceptions, but on the contrary in mak- ing a helpmate of progress.’ ON THE SQUARE. Warren Harding made many addresses during the campaign just closed. . Judged by the number and range of subjects they were excellent speeches. They were dignified and forceful. The senti- ment expressed was uniformly opened by by. ie audiences. Whatever he said exactly reflected honesty and decency of the man. But of all the speeches he made: to the public he made no greater nor more characteristic speech than that to the men of the back office of the Marion Star when they called to present a gold printer's make-up rule. Senator Harding said to these printers: “I. don’t know of any call that has arovsed my emotions more than this. J have worked with you, and | have tried to be honest with you; and God knows if | am called to responsibility I am going to | be honest with everybody in the world. I don’t know if J can meet these responsibilities fully, but I know that I can meet. them with the same honesty that I have treated.you. 1 “T am just'a plain, ordinary fellow, but I can be on the square, and that's-all there is to it.” ‘WORK A BLESSING. Calvin Coolidge is not only going to be a tower of strength in level-headed judgment, to the Hard- ing administration, he will be the philosopher as well. Many will be the snarls of state that his pa- tience and wisdom will untangle. His clean, upright Yankee life has given him a keen analysis of everyday things that is refresh- ing. He. says: “All growth depends. upon activity. Life is manifest only by-action. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and ef- fort means work. Work is not.a curse, it is the prerogative of intelligence, the only means to man- hood, and the measure of civilization. Savages do not work. The growth of a sentiment that despises work is an appeal from civilization to barbarism. “T agree that the measure of success is not merchandise but character. But I do criticise those sentiments, held in all too respectable quarters, that our economic system is fundamentally wrong, that commerce is only selfishness, and that our citizens, holding th. hope of all that America means, are living in: industrial. slavery. “A man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise.’ a Saneee HER GROUCH.

Millions of other Americans, men and women, too, Who either beéause of youth, old age or infirmity, could not march with ‘the crusaders, yet having that same spirit of freedoi in their souls, gave of themselvés their substanee to the uttermost that the fighting men should lack " for nothing. No prouder heritage will ever come to any people thar that whicn these millions of Arneyicans will leave to the future generations, to their chil- dyen and their childrens’ children. And because of that heritage, which belongs to the younger ‘generations, it is most fitting that those younger generations should take a prominent part if the anniversary of Armistice Day, That they should be by far the atpater part of any audience, where their young enthusiasm, their pa- triotiem can shine before their elders and show to them that the lesson of the past centuries shall never ‘be for- gotten by Americans so iong as God keeps his rainbow in thé skies, As’ I ook. down into your eyes I can see there what it was that won the great war; what it was that held the colenists together to found this great nation; what it was that from the beginning until] now-has Kept our national honor pure, our glorious flax unstained, and our America the land of the free and the home of the To me, as it shotild to you, as it must mean to ‘you, patriotism means an inborn love of home and mother, of justice and right, of your country and your country's “flag, of. liberty and’ freedom, and It is woven into every fibre of the fabric of our goy- ernment.
