HIGH LIGHTS OF COOLIOGE'S SPEECH In his appeal today for better enforcement of law and uni formity of federal and state statutes. President Coolldge declared that We are not a lawless people, but too frequently a careless one. Technicalities and delays In the courts aid the wealthy nnd more skillful litigants and are a reproach to us. Federal and state procedure should be uniform. 1 Intentional disregard by local governments of some laws la a start toward demoralization. 1 Liberty is a senseless boast when It consists of liberty to go lll governei. ' America should adhere to tho principles on which her gov ernment was founded. Our standard of civilization rests upon Individual responsi bility. If we do not govern ourselves, someone else will. Equal opportunity suffers because of the divergencies of laws between different states.

Cana day In the Memorial day address, delivered by him today. "ilased upon the principles Divinely ordained, of truth. Justice, and equality and the co-operation of the greater majority of our citizenry since the foundation of our republic was laid, has brought us thus far on the way In our na tional life, llut. It has brought us thus far only by reason of the fact that there were those among the people who, rather than sacrifice these principles, were willing to sacrifice themselves upon the alter of country for the sake of human ity. In our national life the one great factor among all others that should cause us as a people to move on to that place of our great high calling among the nations of the world, is a backward look and Inventory, and that look need touch alone only on the sacrifice of hu man lire, to show us the price we have thus far paid to maintain the principles in which we believe. "The spirit of the patriots of 1776 as It was flung to the world by means of the Declaration of Inde pendence and the gigantic rock of wisdom and law, our national Con Mi tut ion, should this day be the pervading spirit' and -the wisdom and force to guide us safely through the troubled waters of International affairs, and the sanely setting In order our own house. "Our nation's place In the world has been and will continue to be that place to which the Ideals and thoughts of the Individual citizen shall lift it, and no nation can rise higher In Influence than are the Ideals striven for by the greater majority of Its citizens. Thus it makes a vast difference as to what are the Ideals of each Individual and what thoughts each Individual thinks, for from his private thoughts proceed his public acts and it Is a great concern to Amer ica as to the public acta of each citizen. We orten hear the state ment 'That In America every one may think as he pleases,' but I maintain that such Is not the priv ilege of any one, living anywhere, under the folds of the stars and stripes, unless that individual chooses to think rightly and In ac cordance with the spirit and princi pals of Liberty, Justice and Equal ity as contemplated by the found ers of this republic and as fostered by the national Constitution and at tempted to be preserved by our federal and slate laws. "There can be no advancement In any direction, either government al or otherwise without the con certed action of the greater portion of t hose concerned. A nd no ad vancement will be of any perman ent value unless made along the lines of justice and for the welfare of humanity. Vnder our national system we can make no progress towards peace and harmony In the world's nffulrs without laws In our own government to regulate our conduct and by a prescribed method protect our rights as a people.
