Principles Worth Fighting For “Loyalty to our country is the best way in which we can honor the mem- ory of the soldiers who gave their lives in its defense and in defense which we today enjoy,” Gov. A. G. Sorlie said in a Memorial Day statement issued by him today. Gov. Sorlie said: “It has been the custom in all countries to decorate the graves of the soldiers, but in no country has this custom been made a national observance as it has in the United States. The first observance of Me- morial Day grew spontaneously from the tender remembrances of relatives and others who had survived the Civil War. The practice of fixing a day for visiting the graves of sol- diers and decorating them with flags and flowers commenced in the earl: years following the Civil War. ferent days were observed! in diffe ent localities, -until the governments of the states recommended that a certain day be set apart for such observance.

Washington, May 30.—(AP)—Ap- pealing for more vigilant enforce- ment of law on the part of states and local governments and for a “universal observance of the Consti- tution” by the American public, President Coolidge in a Memorial address today at Arlington cem- ‘etery declared that “what we need is not more Federal government, but better local government.” “We are not a lawless people,” said the President, “but we are too fre- quently a careless one. The multi- plicity of laws, the ‘ied possibili- ties of appeals, the disposition to technicality in procedure, the delays and consequent expense of litigation which inevitably inure to the advan- tage of wealth and specialized abil- ity—all these have been recounted as reproaches to us. “It is strange that such laxities should persist in a time like the present, which is marked by a de- termined upward movement in behalf of social welfare. But they do exist. They demonstrate a need for better, prompter, less irksome and expensive administration of the laws; for umi- formity of procedure; for more ac- curate delimitation of state and fed- eral authority.” Refers to Dry Law | Mr. Coolidge made ‘only passing reference to prohibition, and did not apply his observations directly to any particular situation. Declaring that “when the local government unit. evades its responsibility, it is start- ed in the vicious way to disregard of law and laxity of living,” he con- tinued: “The police force which is admin- istered on the assumption that the violation of some laws may be ig- nored has started toward demoraliza- tion. The community which approves such administration is making dan- gerous concessions. There is no use disguising the fact that as a nation cur attitude toward the prevention and punishment of crime needs more serious attention. The conclusion is inescapable that laxity of adminis- tration reacts upon public opinion, eausing cynicism and loss of confi- dence in both law and its enforce- ment and therefore in its observ- ance. The failure of local govern- ment has a demoralizing effect in every direction. “There are vital issues, in which the nation greatly needs a revival of interest and concern. It is sense- less to boast of our liberty’ when we find¢that to s0 shocking an extent it is merely the Hberty to go ill-gov- erned. It is time to take warning that neither the liberties we prize nor the system under “which we claim them are safe while such conditions exist. ‘Must Be Frank “We shall not correct admitted and grave defects if we hesitate to recognize them. We must be frank with ourselves.. We ought to be our own , harshest critics.
