FOR AMERICAISM
(Continued from Page Nine)
enshrined in our Constitution, all
these need constant effort and tireless
vigilance for their protection and sup-
port.
In a republic the first rule for the
guidance of the citizen is obedience
to law. Under a despotism the law
may be imposed upon the subject.
He has no voice in its making, no in-
fluence in its administration, it does
not represent him. Under a free gov-
ernment the citizen makes his own
laws, chooses his own administrators,
which do represent him. Those who
want their rights respected under the
Constitution and the law ought to set
the example themseles of observing
the Constitution and the law. While
theremay be those of high intelli-
gence who violate the law at times,
the barbarian and the defective al-
ways violate it. Those who disregard
the rules of society are not exhibit-
ing a superior intelligence, are not
promoting freedom and independence,
are not following the path of civiliza-
tion, but are displaying the traits of
ignorance, of servitude, of savagery,}
and treading the way that leads back
to the jungle.
The essence of a republic is rep-l
resentative government. Our Con-t
gress represents the people and thel
States. In all legislative affairs it isc
the natural collaborator with the
President. In spite of all the criti-
cism which often falls to its lot, I doc
not hesitate to say that there is no
more independentand effective legis-t
lative body in'the world. It is, andI
should be, jealous of its prerogative.t
I welcome its cooperation, and ex-
pext to share with it not only the
responsibility, but the credit, for our
common effort to secure beneficial
legislation.f
These are some of the principlesI
which America represents. We haveo
not by any means put them fully intor
practice, but we have strongly signi-o
fied our belief in them. The encour-
aging feature of our country is notd
that it has reached its destination, buta
that it has overwhelmingly expressedA
Its determination to proceed in theo
right - direction. It is true that wes
could, with profit, be less sectionalp
and more national in our thought. It
would be well if we could replace
much that is only a false and ignor-C
ant prejudice with a true and en-c
lightened pride of race. But the last
election showed that appealsto class
and nationality had little effect. We
were all found loyal to .acommon citi-
zenship. The fundamental precept of
liberty is toleration. We can not per-
mit any inquisition either within or
without the law or apply any religious
test to the holding of office. The mind
of 'America must be forever free.
It is in such contemplations, my
fellow countrymen, which are not ex-
haustive but only representative, that
I find ample warrant for satisfaction
and encouragement. We should not let
the much that is to do obscure the
much which has been done. The past
and present show faith and hope and
courage fully justified. Here stands
our country, an example of trnaquil-
lity at home, a patron of tranquillity
abroad. Here stands its Government,
aware of its might but obedient to its
conscience. Here it will continue to
stand, seeking peace and prosperity,
solicitous for the welfare of the wage
earner, promoting enterprise, devel-
oping waterways and natural re-
sources, attentive to the intuitive
counsel of womanhood, encouraging
education, desiring the advancement
of religion, supporting the cause of
justice and honor among the nations,
America seeks no earthly empire
built on blood and force. No ambi-
tion, no temptation, lures her to
thought of foreign dominions. The]
legions which she sends forth to
armed, not with the sword, but with
the cross. The higher state to which
she seeks the allegiance of all man-
kind is not of human, but of divine
origin. She cherishes no purpose save
to merit the favor of Almighty God.
CONDITIONS REVRSE
SCENES Of CEREMONIES
Despite his desire for simplicity,
President Coolidge took the oath of j
office yesterday in surroundings thatj
contrasted strikingly with the lamp-'
lighted Vermont farm house where he
took the nation's helm in the early
morning hours of August 3, 1923.
All of the solemn dignity which the
American citizen demands shall ac-
company the installation of a chief
executive attended yesterday's .cere-
mony, and the climax, when the black-
robed chief justice of the United
States, in impressive fashion, swore
the President to uphold ,the Consti-
tutton, was far removed from the
tragic midnight amtosphere of the A
Plymouth inauguration nearly two
years ago.
To look upon this scene John Cool-
idge, father of the P"resident went to
Washington. Although the ceremon-
ies were much more restrained and
simple than in some former years, they
were filled, with pomp and splendor
in comparison with the night when
the duty fell to Colonel Coolidge of
swearing in his own son as chief exec-
utive of the nation.
On that occasion, acting in his ca-
pacity as village notary public of
Plymouth, John Coolidge called his
son Calvin into a small room, where
an oil lamp was flickering, stood
across a table and pledged him to
fidelity to his country and its insti-
tutions.
Unrest Fills
Hughes' Term
With Anxiety,
When responsibility for the conduct
of the nation's foreign affairs shifted
to new shoulders yesterday with the
retirement of Secretary Charles E.
Hughes, the transfer marked the end
of a crowded chapter in the history of
American diplomacy. -
Four years ago, when he took over
the post, Mr. Huges found the country
