A Thought For The Day
And why take yc thought for raiment? Con-
aider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they
toil not, neither do they spin; and yet I say un
to you, that even Solomon in all his glory was no
arrayed like one of these.—Matt. 6:28, 29.
Be»uty is Nature's coin, must not be hoarded,
But must be current, and the Rood thereof
Consists in mutual and partaken bliss. Milton.
THE FORD BOOM FOR PRESIDENT
There is much being said and written on the pro
posed candidacy of Henry Ford for the presidency of
the United States. That he is one ol the most suc
cessful business men in America no one can deny, but
to place him in the presidential chair and expect oi
him as successful and administration as he has mot
with in the manufacturing of automobiles may bring
disappointment to the people of the nation. Tms is
no time for experimenting; it is a time when the dem
ocrats of the nation should choose n leader who has
been tried and found to possess every qualification
to fill this, the highest office in the nation, and tho
one with the greatest responsibilities. The repub
licans, have made an absolute failure in the adminis
tration of the affairs of the nation and the leaders of
that party realize that President Harding has not
measdred up to the responsibilities of the office. In
their own ranks there is extreme doubt as to the ad
visability of renominating him again. The people of
tho nation are not satisfied with Harding and his pol
icies, and regardless of party lines or factions a
strong man nominated by the democrats will draw a
large percentage of republican votes.
Either Underwood ,or McAdoo can he elected on
the dgmocratis ticket. It would bo a mistake for the
democrats to consider or undertake to sidestep the
nomination of a pronounced democrat and seek to
bring into the party Mr. Ford, who has never been a
democrat, and who if we are reliably informed, has
never taken an interest in cither party. But be that
as it may, a tide of popular favor here and there will
not elect a president. It must be centered throughout
the nation on a recognized leader and democrat. The
line-lip is coming and it will bo fought out on party
lines-and on the capability of the man who is. con-
| s id creel the strongest in intellect and resourcefulness
for tfie successful direction of tbe affairs of the na
tion.
't- It is no time for compromising nnd running off af
ter what appears to Ira popular clamor for this or
I that man- Let the leaders of the democratic party
make'up their minds that they are going to nominate
a tried and true democrat and go before the people
r of the nation in an open and frank manner with a
platform which is stable and sound for the com
mercial interests of the country.
, | THE NATION MOURNS HIS DEATH
[ Suddenly and unexpectedly death came to President
i Harding in San Francisco Thursday evening at 10:30,
eastern time.
On the president’s return from Alaska he suffored
( a serious attack of ptomaine poisoning nnd other
complications set in which enused the nation alarm
oyer his conditoin. He rallied and press reports in
dicated his improvement nnd nn early restoration to
health. Suddenly and without warning , the an
nouncement of his death was broadcasted throughout
the world, carrying with it a shock to all nations.
President Harding was n man who possessed a
most loveable character; conservative in thought;
high ideals of life; just and fair to all irrespective
, of party; considerate and devoted to his family, ho
endeared himself to a nation which honored, respect
ed and loved him.
*; Tho nation has sustained nn irreparable loss in his
, death and tho sympathies of all nations will be ex
tended to this country and to his family.
