B THE MEMORIAL SERVICE Probably it is quite unnecessary to urge the people of the city to attend the services to be held this afternoon at Walnut Hill Park in memory of the late President of the United States, ‘Warren G. Harding. The people will attend those services, will pay the last tribute to the memory of the man they had chosen to head their govern- ment and there will be added to the * incentive of a formal duty to the memory of the highest official in the land that intimate, human feeling which the man’s personal qualities aroused, As the echoes of the appropriate music which is to be played at 2:45 fade, and as the words of the Mayor's proclamation are spoken, the body of the late President will be lowered into the ground of his old home land in Marion, Ohio, and over this city will float the echoes of the hymn “Lead Kindly Light,” the prayer for guid- ance of which President McKinley was so fond. The service which fol- lows will be one of deep sincerity, not only because the people of New Brit- ain are loyal and patriotic but be- cause they know that he whose me- mory they honor was foyal and pa- triotic and died in the line of duty, working for them. to the best of the ability that was given him. Few of us will weep, for few knew him person- ally, but beyond thought of politics, or “policies or prejudice there will be that realization that another good, trug man has gone. Let us all by our presence honor the memory of that true, good man. THE WOMAN WHO MOURNS. If the liberty may be taken of try- ing to understand the wishes of Mrs. Harding at this time, the conclusion may be reached that she would have no ercessive words of praise of her brave bearing spoken, no emphasizing of the fact that she was the greatest inspiration to the honored man who has died. The kindliness, the thought- fulness and consideration for others possessed by him has been perpetu- ated in her as, remembering the mul- titude of people who had just begun to understand more of his lovable qualities, she asked that the train which bore his body pass more slowly through the waiting throngs in order that they might pay their tribute to his memory. Still thinking of others and, undoubedly, of the wish that woud be his, she has clung to that dignity of grief too deep for others to relieve. And so, today, as the people of the country stand silently to pay their tribute to the memory of him, it is fitting to speak to this woman who mourns ony the thought of sympathy which coud better be by a look, a pressure of her hand. shown THE LESSON OF A LIFE. This afternoon the dead body which, to us, represents the living spirit and soul of Warren G. Harding, will be lowered into the grave. The soul and spirit of him will live on as there lives the spirit of the humblest citizen who lives the spirit of the unknown soldier. As we idealize the who, life, fell far short of that idealiza- tion because he was human, so it is our privilege, our right to seize the inspiration that thought of the best that was in him we mourn today. | If ever the States exemplified that great blessing, | “Peace on Earth, Good Will Téward | has died; as unknown one in comes from the a president of United | inspired holds one, if it may be seen and known, Warren G. Harding has left to the world the example of a fine, simple man who dled serving the people who had grown to know and love him. In his heart was the hope that the universal brotherhood would come through good will toward all through this Christlike quality which is destined to accomplish that which no force, no trickery, no transient dream has been able to do. We will stand uncovered as all that is tangible of him is lowered into the grave. If we have taken the lesson of his life to heart we will echo deep in our hearts his last plea for peace. OUR FRIENDS' APPROVAL, As the feeling throughout the coun- try today is touched with thought of the solemnity of it, so other things may well be put aside and full sig- nificance given to the practical as well as the sentimental aspect of the occa- sion. There is one to be said regarding the ambition of the late President Harding, Just before he was to leave for Alaska he spoke quietly to friends gathered to bid him farewell. They knew him intimately; he knew them. Much of the re- straint was absent. He was talking !to old friends. He was going on a long trip. Pos- sibly there might have been an exag- gerated feeling of parting from those old friends, He did not discuss the political situation, but, closer to his heart perhaps, he expressed the senti- ment that it woudl be worth while if, when he returned those old friends again, he might come to them as one who had done something to meet their approval. He wanted to make them proud of him, their friend. This human trait inspired him as well as the personal ambition to be re- corded as a President who had done well. The human touch is under- stood by all of us and is emphasized today. There might well follow the old precept “To thine own self be true,” the words, ‘“And to thy friends.” last word to “EARLY TO RISE"” * On this day which the nation de- votes to honoring the memory of our late President, we think naturally of his manner of life, his habits. And by analogy we are apt to think of the man who is now our President. Harding, the warm hearted, the kindly man; Coolidge,, the man of quiet, silent manner who hag few in- timates, few confidantes. Not in di; respect is this reference made to Pres- ident Coolidge. Many of the fine men we know are of this type. Underneath that apparent coldness there may be strength and good will that will prove to be of great value to the nation. And the sentiment of the people today is softened into the hope that thus he will be discovered. President Coolidge is a retiring sort of person. It is said that few vice- presidents have presided over the Sen- ate without making more friends than has he. Not that he has made enemies. Rather, his personality or lack of it has not invited advances from thosc with whom he was daily associated. But the man of New England, Cal- vin Coolidge, has already shown a dis- position to follow the old precept “Early to bed and early -to rise.” There cannot help but be speculation as to whether or not his early rising will bring him the ability to do as much work in the White House as it was said former President Harding did. We used to read of President Harding's hours of relaxation, and we wou!d smile. Now, when he is dead, we learn on good authority that he did more actual work as President than any of his regent predecessors. This habit of early rising is ‘what might have been of the President 'who was farm-trained in his early But it will than the following of a precept to fill the place in many ¢s of the man whose memory we honor today. And on this day we can but wish that, for his own and the country's sake, our new President displays these qualities. expected days. take more THE MAN 'LONG SIDE YOU.

Such effusions are glanced at and put aside as prosy this man man, relics of other days when eloquence, by sentiment the imita- tion of it, the vogue.

LONDON HOLDING WEMORIAL SERVICE Westminster Abbey - Scene of Tribute to Harding 3y The Associated Presz, London, Aug. 10.—Several thousand Aemricans and British crowded in and around Westminster Abbey, the spiritual center of the empire at noon today to mourn the death of President Harding. Hundreds who could not be accommodated within the cool re- cesses of the ancient cathedral lined the streets and squares in the vicinity of the parliament buildings as prom- inent personages in the political and social life of the country arrived for the service. Then the overflow crowd gathered in the. Abbey yard where it heard the funeral music played on the great organ, The American embassy distributed the twelve hundred available seats yesterday and was obliged later to de- cline the requests of hundreds of tourists who sought tickets. T'he unreserved sections of the Ab- bey were filled several hours before noon. As the congregation was being seated, the organist played Chopin's “Funeral March” and at the first stroke of 12 by Big Ben, the clock on the tower of the house of commons, the choir and clergy of the Abbey pro- ceeded to their seats, chanting the while the opening sentences of the burial service. The congregation then joined in singing Mr. Harding's favo- rite hymns and after the benediction remained with bowed heads while the ofgan played the dead march from “Saul.” Tribute to the memory of the late president was paid by Canon Carne- gie, sub-dean of the Abbey who was sisted in the service by Canon Storr and the Rev. H. L. Nixon. At the close of the service Becthoven's “Ifuneral March” on the “Death of a Hero"” and *“Boye's Soldier's Funeral March” were played. The Duke and Duchess of York represented King George and Queen Mary at the service. Queen Alexan- dra and the power sent court cham- berlains, while Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and many members of the cabinet attended in person. Post Wheeler of the American em- bassy headed the official American representatives, the party including l!\e embassy’s secretaries and attaches Various Anglo-American organizations were represented. LOOKS T0 COOLIDGE 10 HELP FARMERS Be Reduced Now Washington, D. C, Aug. 10.—Farm organizations throughout the country are confident that the new adminis- tration will do all possible to reducc freight rates and thus materially les- en burdens of the farmers, Senator Capper, (Kan.) chairman of the farm bloc, said yesterday. Mr, Capper hopes the Commerce Commission will reduce freight rates before congress con- venes, but in the event no such’steps are taken, he is sure that President Coolidge, with the cooperation of con- gress, will “come to the rescue of the farmers in that respect.” While he believes there are many excellent features in the Esch-Cum- mins iaw, Senator Capper is convinced that Section 15A—the so-called guar- antee clause—should be stricken out. “That protection for the roads was necessary, fair and just for a time after the war, until the carriers got eir feet after Federal “However, that period is passed, the roads, for the most part, are very prosperous now, and there is no reason why the government should be under obligation to guarantee them any stated income. t is that clause in the Esch-Cum- mins law more than anything else which accounts for the high freight now charged on farm products. th its removal, I believe the car- rs would see the wisdom of volun- tapily reducing rates.

SUITS 16 GENT GASOLINE WAR COMING EAST Penn. Motorists Seek Advice From Sonth Dakota Philadelphia, Aug. 10.—Organized fmotorists of Pennsylvania are going to take some action to try to reduce the cost of gasoline here, which it is said is more expensive than elsewhere. Following the action of Gov, Mc- Master of South Dakota in ordering the state warehouse at Mitchell to sell gasoline to the public at 16 cents a gallon, a telegram for full informa- tion as to this action has been sent to South Dakota Secretary of State by E. E. Hogle, secretary of the Au- tomobile club of Philadelphia. “Something must be done to pro- tect the motorist,” said Mr. Hogle, “and if South Dakota can take dras- tic action and get results, I want to know the full details as to the steps followed. I have wired the secretary of state of South Dakota, and when I have his reply will communicate with Governor Pinchot to see if some simi- lar procedure can be followed here.” J. Maxwell Smith, executive secre- tary of the Keystone Automobile club, saild there was no excuse for the cost of gasoline. 3 “There is said to be more gas in storage today than ever before,” he said. “Supply and demand usuglly regnlate price, and here we have an oversupply with a constantly mount- ing price. What is really needed Is action by the National Motorists’ As- sociation.” Large amounts of gasoline are lost to motorists each year because of either the willful or accidental short measuré given at supply stations, ac- cording to Thomas A. Seraphin, su- perintendent of the gasoline pump and meter division 'of the bureau of weights and measures. Move to Cut Gasoline Cost. Minneapolis, Aug. 10.—A reflection of the action of Gov. McMaster o1 South Dakota in ordering the state Tuesday to sell gasoline at half price | was seen here in the announcement by G. Hill, secretary of the automo- bile club, that its trustees were con- sidering the establishment of A sta- tion to sell gasoline “at a reasonable profit.” “We believe the present price of 231% cents a gallon for gasoline that we understand is laid down in Minne- apolis for 13 cents a gallon is exor- bitant,” Mr. Hill said. The club has 3,000 members. LYNCH BANNED IN JERSEY Trenton, N. J., Aug. 10.—It was an- nounced by State Boxing Commission- er Newton A. K.
