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.

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

certed action of the greater portion
of t hose concerned. A nd no ad

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. And
further, it should not only be the
