I President Hardins Accepts

Lincoln Memorial in Behalf of American People Presented by Taft. TRIBUTESlO"LINCOLN (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. May 30 "Maintained union and nationality" rather than "emancipation" was declared to be the supreme chapter in American history by President Harding in an address today accepting the Lincoln memorial in behalf of the American people. Lincoln would have compromised with slavery, Mr. Harding declared, while cleaving to his great purpose the maintenance of the "inheritance handed down by the founding fathers.'' Declaring that the new memorial was fittingly placed near the towering spire of the Washington monument, Mr. Harding said that Washington, the founder, and Lincoln, the saviour, "offered outstanding proof that a repieentative popular govern ment, constitutionally founded, can find its own way to salvation and accomplishment."

Chief Justice Taft said, for in the intervening time not. only have "the figures of his contemporaries faded leaving him grandly alone" but it permitted a generation "instinct with the growing and deepening perception of the real Lincoln to develop an art adequate to the expression of his greatness.

POLITICAL MOTIVES SEEN IN ATTACK ON DAUGHERTY IN INQUIRY ON WAR FRAUDS

Br MAHIC StI.UVAS WASHINGTON, D. C, May 30 Is absurd to say that Harding, having appointed Daugherty, will ask for his resignation. Neither will any party leader suggest that Daugherty resign, """o compare the hullabaloo about Daugherty and Morse with the Ballingcr case is ridiculous. The Ballinger case involved a great national question of change in the country's policy about conserving its natural resources on which question great groups of people felt strongly. All this about Daugherty and Morse is of the past. It has been an issue in nearly every political campaign in Ohii for 10 years past and Daugherty has always admitted it. justified it. and presented letters from ex-President Taft and ex-Attorney General Wickersham hacking up his iustifi?frit ;tri-' facts except that Morse never paid the fee ho promised to pay That action had precisely the same sort of political motive as that which was in the mind of the Republican senator who answered by naming and POLICE DECORATE COMRADES' GRAVES Officers Hennigar, Vogelsong and Cully, representing the police department, decorated fie graves of former policeman who had died in the service.
