institution before the invention of

cotton and cotton products rose 30

years following - the introduction

between the North and the South,
but now it was changed. , The
population Increased in the North,
but the industrial situation chang-1

"The Mexican war only intensi

Oregon was the only acquired
lands of the United States not

Lincoln had nothing- with F which
to 4 begin his campaign, all the
money, troops, equipment and
holdings had been transferred to

ently placed on it a large wreath.
Mrs. Coolldge laid a small bouquet
ot roses on the top of the tomb.
In the course of his speech, the
president traced the clash for
authority between the states and
the federal government which cul
minated in the civil war, and, he
said, still persists to a less extent.
He made an appeal for observance
of law by individual Americans
and for rigid enforcement ot the
law by states and local govern
: "There is nb use disguising the
fact," said' the president, "tiat ai
ai nation janx attitude toward th
prevention -and punishment of
crime needs more serious attenr

; "The conclusion Is inescapable,"
he added, that laxity of adminis
tration react upon public opinion
causing synlclsm and loss of pub
llo confidence both in law and its
enforcement therefore in its ob
servance. The failure oC local gov
ernment has a demoralizing effect
in every direction."
"The country needs, in grap
pling with the manifold problems
of these times,' all the courage, in
telligence, training and skill that
can be' enlisted in both state and ,
national , administrations," II r
Coolldge said.
"People are given to thinking
and speaking ot the national gov
ernment, as '"the government.
They demand more from it than
it ever was Intended to provide;
and yet in the same breath they
complain that federal authority is
stretching Itself over areas which
do not concern It. On one side,
there are demands for- more
amendments to the constitution.
On the other theTe is too much op
