The New Oregon STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon. Sunday Morning, February 3, 1929 f SHE Mil IS era warn MOUNTAIN I A K IT. Tla.. 1 (AP) In a r-" : or r:!van beauty. President C .Tilg today delivered what r'.r.y bp his last address as chlof ex 'rut Ire. dedi cating to the peop'.T of America the sanctuary and s'nglnp tower establl-hc hero by E-Iward Bok. A crow. variously estimated in the ten? of thousands listened as the president :pkf. although only a small part of th? throng was vis ible to the president. His audience was scate:l sr.'.ong the pain trees and fhrr.b';ery with which the sanctuary abounds, while ampli fiers cariied the president's mes sage to them. Mr. CooHdse was introduced by Mr. fiok, once an inimirant from Holland, later a- prom'nent editor and philanthropist, whore gener osity made po?rible the sanctuary and the sinxfng tower with its carillon of 61 bells. Governor Doyle E. Carlton of Florida a'no delivered an address, welcoming Mr. Goolldge to Florida and invit ing him to make his home in this utate after hi fast approaching re tirement from office. Appreciation For Ilofloty Slid rwvlna Mr. CooL'de's address was de voted largely to an exposition of the view that the people of Amer ica are achieving a constantly growing appreciation of the beau tiful and are enjoying a new era in the vantages once reserved to a fortunate few. Mr. Coolidge cited three under lying circumstances which he be. lleved had brought this abount free education, public concertrv and art museum?: what he termed the proportionately greater in omes of America's army of wage earners; and the devot'ori of vast private fortunes to philanthropic purposes. "This sanctu4y fOTd tower." he satd. "are not '-only endowed with a beauty of thir own. but they are a reprecentation cf the bne flcient spirit of the elver. They are another illustration that the men of wealth of the United States are not bent on the accumulation of money merely for its own sake, or that they may v.re It in selfish ostentatious display. A most c'urfory examination of the factr would soon disclore that our conn-; try leads the world in its charities and endowments. It wotvd bo dif ficult to recall any line of endeav or capable of ministering to hu man welfare, not only in our own country, but in many places flhrmd. which is not being helped by 'he generosity of our people of wcu'.th. Not only that, but chara ties of thin nation sthand on a plane which is occupied by them alone." The president saw in the sane tuaiy an inspiration for more be-iutiful homes and cleaner and "better kept cities and towns which he said those who visit the place c.'inn'it escape taking away with then. "They will be filled with a nnW" discontent." he declared, "which cannot fail to react in pome degree jig.v'nst all forms of physical and spiritual ugliness." U.

It was stated that he had merely caught a slight cold, the weather having been extremely changeable in the last tew days. we find that if all the people in New' York were laid end to end. they would reach around the earth company, have fallen into a sus-,over and around the Salem court plcious position in the field of appraisals, but one cannot resist the temptation to make use of their rather overwhelming dis plays at times. For instance: Three million people live on Man hattan Igland alone; a group equal In number to the population of Oregon Join this crowd every day from off the Island Itself. Within an island twelve miles long in streets, and a dozen avenues wide, we have four million people, four, fifths of whom move somewhere and back and perhaps many times during the day. Falling back on the oldest me. house, and back to the Statesman office.. Few as that may seem, the city Is jammed each day with a mob of people that were they checked in one place for more than fifteen minutes would aggregate a crowd j that might lake hours disperse.
