GOVERNMENT CANNOT RELIEVE FROM TOIL, PRESIDENT SAYS BY CALVIN COOLIDGE (Copyright by Calvin Coslidge. Published by arrangement with John ¥, Dille Ce.) THE HERALD today publishes the first of a series of extracts from speeches and addresses by Calvin Cool Labor, Capit and Order, Peace, Busine idge which reflect his opinions on and Government, President of the Benate of Massachusetts and Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, They were compil €d with his permission and published under his persopal copyright, The welfare of the weakest and the welfare of the most powerful are inseparably bound together, Indus try cannot flourish if labor languish Transportation cannot prosper |f manufactures decline. The génera! welfare cannot be provided: for in any act, but it is well to remember the bhenefit of one is the benefit «f all, and the neglect of one is the neglect of all. The suspension of one man's dividends is the suspension of another man's nvelop Men do not make laws, They do but discover them. Laws must be Justified by something more than the will of the majority, They must rest on the eterng! foundation of rig ecousness. That state is most fortun- ate in ita form of government which has the aptest instruments for the y of laws, The latest, most rest pi that statesmanship has devi resentative government. Its is the weakness of us imperfect hu. man beings who administer it. Its strength is that even such adminis- stration secures to the people more blessings than gny other system ever produced. No nation has discarded it and retained liberty. Representa- tive government must be preserved. No Substitute for Service The people cannot look to legisla- tion generally for success. Industry, thrift, character, are not conferred by act or resolve, Government can- not relieve from toil. It can provide no substitute for the rewards of serv- fee. It can, of course, care for the defective and recognize distinguished merit. The normal must care for themselves. Self-government means self-support. v Man is born into the universe with a personality that is his own. He has a right that {s founded upon the constitution of the universe to have property that is hig own. Ultimately, property rights and personal rights are the same thing. The one cannot be preserved if the other be violated, Each man ie entitled te his rights and the rewards of his service be they never #o large or never so small, History reveals no civilized people among whom there were not a high- ly educated class, and large aggrega- tions of wealth x x x Inspiration has always come from above. Diffusion of learning has come down from the university to the common school— the kindergarten is last. No one would now expect to aid the common school by abolishing higher education. It may be that the diffusion of wealth works in an analogous way. As the little red schoolhouse is build- ed in the college, it may be that the fostering and protection of large ag- gregations of wealth are the only foundation on which to build thg prosperity of the whole people. Large profits mean large pay rolls. But profits must be the resylt of sefvice performed. In no land are there so many and such large aggregations of ‘wealth as here; in no land do they perform larger service, in no land will the work of a day bring &o large a re- ward in material and spiritual wel. fare. Work to Build Do the day's work. If it be to pro- tect the rights of the weak, whoever objects, do it. If it be to help a pow- erful corporation better to serve the people, whatever the opposition, do that Expect to be .called a stand- patter, but don’t be a stand-patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but don't be a demagogue. Don’t hesi- tate to be as/revolutionary as science. Den't hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table. Don't ex- pect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong. Don't hurry to leg- {slate. Give administration a chance to catch up with legislation. We live in an age which questions everything. The past generatioh was one of religious crlzlghsm. This is one of commeraial eriticism. We have seen the development of great industries. It has been repre- sented that some of these have not been free from blame. In this de- velopment some men have seemed to prosper beyond the measure of their service, while others have appeared to be bound to toil beyond thelr strength for less than a decent livell- hood. " * As a result of criticising these con- ditions there has grown up a too well- developed public opinion along two lines; one, that the men engaged in gre affairs are selfish and greedy RED PEPPER HEAT ENDS RHEUMATISM Red Pepper Rub takes the “ouch” | trom sore, stiff, aching joints.

We learn of the stone age, the bronze and the iron age, We n see the different ste in the growth of the forms of governmen how anarchy was put down by the strong arm of the despot, of the growth of aristocracy, of limited monarchies and of parllaments, and finally democracy. But in all these changes man took but one step at a time. Where weo can trace history, no race ever step- ped directly from the stone age to the iron age and no nation ever pass- ed directly from despotism to demo- cracy.” Each advance has been made only when a previous stgge was ap- proaching perfection, even to condi- tions which are now sometimes lost arts. We have reached the age of inven- tion, of commerce, of great industrial enterprise. It is often referred to as selfish and materialistic. The Hope for Peace Our economic system has been at- tacked from above and from below. But ths short answer lies in the teachings of history. The hope of a ‘Watt or an Edison lay in the men who chipped flint to perfection. The seed of democracy lay in a perfected des- potism. The hope of tomorrow lles in the development of the instruments of today. The prospect of advance lles in maintaining those conditions which have stimulated invention and industry and commerce. The only road to a more progressive age lies in | perfecting the instrumentalities of this age. The only hope for peace lies in the perfection of the arts of war. All growth depends upon activity. Life is manifest only by action. There is no development physically or in- tellectually without effort, .and effort means work., Work is not a curse, it is the prerogative of intelligence, the only meahs to manhood, and the measure of civilization. Savages do not work. The growth of a.sentiment that despises work is an appeal from civilization to barbarism, I would not be understood as mak- ling a sweeping criticism of current legislation along: these lines. I, too, rejoice that an awakened conscience has outlawed commercial standards that were false or low and that an awakened humanity has decreed that the working and living condition of our citizens must be worthy of true manhood and true womanhood. The Measure of Succers I agree that the measure of success {s not merchandise but character, But I do criticise those sentiments, held in all too respectable quarters, that our economic system is fundamental- ly wrong, that commerce is only sel- fishness, and that our citizens, holding the hope of all that America means, are living in industrial slavery. The man who builds. a factory bullds a temple, that the man who works ther@ worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise. We need a broader, firmer, deeper faith in the people—a faith that men desire to do right, that the common- wealth Is founded upon a righteous- ness which will endure, a reconstruct- ed faith'that the final approval of the people is given not to demagogues, slavishly pandering to their selfish- ness, merchandising .vith the clamor of the hour, but to statesmen, min- istering to their welfare, representing their deep, silent, abiding convictions. Appeal to the Spirit Statutes must appeal to more than material welfare, Wages won't sat- isty, be they ever so large. Nor houses; nor lands; nor coupons, though they fall thick as the leaves of autumn. Man has a spiritual nature. Touch it, and it must respond as the magnet re- sponds to the pole. To that, not to selfishness, let the laws x x x appeal. Recognize the immortal worth and dignity of man. Let the laws pro- claim to her humblest citizen, forming the most menial task, the \recognition, of his manhood, the rec- ognition that all men are peers, the humblest with the most exalted, the recognition that all work is glorified. Such is the path to equality before the law., Such is the foundation of liberty under the law. Such is the sublime revelation of man's relation to, man—Democracy. National Farm for Women Prisoners Being Urged Washington, Sep¥. 22.—Plans to se- cure legislation at the next session of congress creating a national farm tor federal women prisoners were laid at a conference just adjourned here of representatives of national wom- en's organizations and natfonal prison and social organizations. The need of such an iInstitution having a minimum capacity of 709 was emphasized in addresses by Mrs Mabel W. Wiliebrandt assistant ar- per- | inmates | NEW.BRITMN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1928, WIRELESS WARNINGS ARE BEING PROBED Naval Court of Inquiry to Moel Again Today By The Associated Press San Disgo, Cal, Sept ~The na- court of inquiry inv jgating the king of seven destroyers off Hon. da, Cal, Beptember 8, planned to hold & brief session here today at which additional witnesses from the U, 8 & Delphy, flagship of the wrecked on, were 1o testify. Dispatches received here fying J, R, Stappler, asserted author of a telegram introduced at yester. day's seasion criticizing radio ecom- pass signals received from Point Ar- guello, as first officer of the steamer Arizonian, led naval authorities to ex- press the belief that Stappler would be asked to testify before the close of the inquiry, \ Meanwhile commanding officers, executive officers and navigators of the seven wrecked vessels will not be permitted to resume active duty un- til the naval court ends ita sessions, according to orders received from the secretary of the navy, Memorial Tomorrow. Surviving members of the crews are preparing to take up the task of fit. ting out and commissioning seven ships which will¥take the place of those lost, and other officers and en- listed men of the navy are making ready for memorlal services tomor- row in honor of the 23 who perished in the wreck. A telegram saying the receipt on August 23 of radio compass bearings from Point Arguello, which "“would have put us ashore on San Miguel Is- land, if we had followed them,” was read. * The text of the telegram was as fol- lows: “Have in our possession two aets of radio bearings, which, had we not disregarded them, would have put us ashore on San Miguel Island, August 238, One get received while anchored among the rocks on north side of is- land. Wil gladly furnish =ame with log extract, if it will be of service to you." Gives New York City Address. The eender gave his address as 152 Riverside Drive, New York. The telegram was signed ‘“J. R. Stappler,” but counsel for Captain Edward H. Watson, chief of the de- stroyer squadron,. who produced it curing his cross examination of Lieu- tenant Commander John M. Ashley, superintendent of communications of the 11th Naval District, sald he ‘'did not know the signer, nor what ship he commanded."” No complaints had ever been made to him, as superintendent of com- munications, that the bearings sent out by Point Arguello gtation were in- accurate, Ashley vaid. Produces Radio Station Y.og. Lieutenant Commander Ashley pro- duced the log of the Point Arguello radio compass station, which had sent out numerous signals in the hours preceding the disaster, warning the destroyer squadron that it was still too far north of the Point to attempt an eastward turn into Santa Barbara channel. * Asked whether any change in equip- 2 guelo which might have affected the operation of the station the witness said that'‘'one of the masts was drop- ped at noon.” spections or technical adjustments had been made to make sure that the accuracy of the station had not been affected by this incident. He also admitted that no warnings had been sent out to ships at sea that the accuracy of Point' Arguello com- pass bearifigs might be affected by this circumstance. FORD WOULDN'T HELP ! | Piggly Wiggly King Testifles He Tried to Get Henry to Aid Him in Finan. cial Trouble, Memphis, Tenn.,, Sept. 22.—Detalls of a futile effort by friends of Clar. ence Saunders to enlist the aid of Henry Ford in Saunders recent fight with the Piggly Wiggly pool interests featured the receivership , hearing in federal court here yesterday when Saunders took the stand and told the story. Saunders stated that Governor Austin Peay of Tennessee and Col. Luke Lea, prominent publisher of Nashville, went to Detroit, but failea to obtain an interview with the au- tomobile manufacturer, Saunders also revealed a plan for a deal with the American farm bu. reau federation which contemplate a $100,000,000 fund to purchase the Piggly Wiggly stores and combine them with the federation's opera- tions. Saunders who founded Piggly Wig- gly and who is suing for a federal re. ceivership of the Piggly Wiggly corp. parent organization told his story on | cross-examination.

Sperry sald she visited the s 1 pecting to find a dreams and romance ;! | found beautiful scenery ruined by fat, half-naked men and women,” sh continued, “There was every sort of mixture of race and drink, Prices were three times higher than they should have been, The place was full of half-dressed artists who have ‘sone brown,' and everything 1 ate e me Indigestion. The food was responsible. The Bouth Sea Islands have been ridiculously overrated.' In Java, Mrs. Sperry said, hus- bands may be plucked from the trees, bushes and the road side, These are not human wrecks or doddering dere- licts, but fine, handsome and charm- ing men from Holland who go to Java to make their fortunes. | “The heat is s0 Intense that most women refuge to live there” Mrs. Eperry went on to say, "so the only alternative these men have, if they wish to exchange single blessedne Eo you see what there the native women. a golden opportunity #ingle white women, “In Hongkong I met many Ameri. can and English women stranded going to China to get married Most of them were more than thirty years old and more or less unattrac- tive. They had heard, incorrectly, that there were so many more Eng- lish and American men than women in China. Once there they couldn't return. Java should have been their goal."” Mrs. Sperry entertains a bitter and hearty grudge against “those writers who have painted glowing word pic- tures of the South Seas and the maidens thereof. She says: "I re- ceived the biggest disappointment of my life when I landed in the South Sea Islands. The scenery is beautifyl, ves, but nothing startling. Java is more beautiful. And those beau- teous maidens one hears of, they are fat, nearly all of them, and floppy. Voluptuous, yes but oh, so broad ! There are derelicts of every race and nation, gone to seed. Of course there is quite a colony of writers and artists, but even a large number of these have gone to seed. What struck me particularly was the num- ber of white men, educated and cul- tured, many of them succassful writ- {ers and painters, who have married | the native women. 'FRESHMAN CLASS T0 BE ' CUT DOWN AT NEW HATEN ment had been made at Point Ar-|Many Changes Effective With Open. | 1 ing of University Thursday New Haven, Sept . 22, — Many changes will mark the 223d opening | of Yale University next Thursday, the ! most significant of which is the limit- | ing of the freshman class to 8§50 stu- dents. The limitation confirms the decision of the university to receive no more entering students than it can care for properly. Meanwhile, successful candidates for entrance are chosen primarily on the basis of scholastic attainment and promise. Announcement is made of the crea- | tion of a single undergraduate fac- ulty of arts and sciences, composed of the permanent officers of Yale college, the Sheffield Scientific school and the Freshman Year with the power to determine all questions of jeint interest.

The extension cours- es in education which have been given by that department since its organization in 1920 will be resumed. One Hour General Strike Is New German Protest Hamburg, Sept. 22.—A one hour general strike in protest against "the increasing pauperization of the work- ing classes” was proclaimed today by the United Labor Federations of Ham- burg who passed resolutione also in favor of the abandonment “Ruhr adventyre.’” They likewise de- manded an increase in the unemploy ment doles and other remedial meas- ures calculated to offset the growing depreciation of the currency. The seizure of gold .and silver in private | possession is called for in the resolu- ttons which sharply attack the central | government and suggest that the workers undertake action regardless of its parliamentary legality. |Orderly State Elections } Mexico City, Sept. 22.—A decided stand by the federal government in |favor of orderly state elections {s seen here In the announcement by Danien Benitsz, acting secretary of |the interior that the executive will not recognize either contestant claim- ing victory in the gubernatorial elec- |tions in the states of San Luis Potosi |and Nuevo Teon.
