ca's supccsh in fusing national unity
from Its melting pot of diverse racial
elements points the way for fraternity
and cooperation among peoples on a
world-wide scale, President Coolidge
declared today in an address at the
NorFC-Amerlcnn centennial.
"If fraternity and co-operation." he
said, "are possible on the scale of this
continent among people so widely di
verse, why not on the ffcale of the
World? I feel it Is possible of renlizn-,
tion. I am convinced that our national
story might somewhat help the guide
mankind toward surh a goal
The president told his audience that 1
in the midst of "loyalties that are an
beyond possibility of Question" it was
"difficult to choose among the many,
national and racial groups that have
sought out America for their home
and their country." . :
"We are thankful for all of them,
.and yet more thankful that the experi
ment of their common citizenship has
Veen so magnificently justified Jn Its
iW&illta," he said. "If one were seeking
proof of ft basic brotherhood among
all' races of men. If one Were to chal

A Spiritual Vnion
"Out of the confusion of tongues,
the conflict of traditions, the varia
tions of historical settings, the vast dif
' ferences in talents and tastes there has
been evolved a spiritual union accom
panied by a range of capacity and ge
nius which marks this nation for a
pre-eminent destiny. The American
people have commanded the respect of
the world.
"It Is not so many years since vis-
itors from other quarters of the world
were wont to contemplate our con
course of races, origins, and Interests,
and shake their heads ominously. They
feared that from such a melting pot of
diverse elements we would never draw
the tested tempered metal that is the
only substance for national character.

STATE FAIRGROUNDS. Minn..
June 8. (By Associated Press.) Sec
retary Kellogg In a speech at the
Norse-American centennial celebra
tion delivered today after President
Coolidge had concluded an address,
warned against tampering "with the
foundation principles upon which,
through the constitution, representa
tive democracy is built.'
H The secretary of state declared the
, principles of the constitution were
j "helng assaulted by propagandists
j who advocate the overthrow of the
'government and the substitution of
i class tyranny," and by "a conslder
I able body of our citizens, who in the
of "1'erty and reforms are 1 ra
patient of the constitutional restrlc
tions and by insidious approaches and
attacks would destroy these gusrnn
tees of personal liberty."
"I doubt if you are aware," he
added, "of the amount of destructive,
revolutionary propaganda which Is
being secretly distributed in this
country by foreign influence."
While Mr. Kellogg,, who has been a
resident of Minnesota for sixty years,
six of which he represented the state
in the United States senate made no
direct reference to the present or past
political, situation in the northwest,
speaking in one of the strongholds of
the farmer-labor and LaFullette
movements.
After praising the Norwegian
Immigrants for their contribution to
the development of the American
government, Mr. Kellogg continued:
"There cannot rest on anyone a
higher and more sacred duty than
honestly and efficiently to serve his
country and to preserve Its ideals and
Institutions. We are blessed with
what I believe-to be the best form of
government that the wit of America
(has devised. Let us appreciate these
blessings, and, while I am not one of
those who believe that Institutions
which exist cannot bo Improved, do
not let us tamper with the foundation
principles upon which, through the
constitution representative democracy
Is built. ' ,

ANARCHY ACT IS
HELD VALID BY
Free Speech Does Not Sanc

throw of Government, U. S
Supreme' Tribuiial Holds-
Holmes, . Brandies Dissent
WASHINGTON, June 8 The crim
inal anarchy act of New York was
declared valid and constitutional to
day by the supreme court., Under the
statute the highest court confirmed
the conviction of Benjamin Gjiitlow.
Justices Holmes and Brandeis dis
sented, the former delivering, a dis
senting opinion In which he said that
the socialist manifesto circulated by
Guitlow In "The Revolutionary Age
in 1920 on which the prosecution was
based, presented no Immediate dan
ger of the overthrow of the govern
ment by force."
In the majority opinion, Justice
Sanford said, the New York state
statute does not penalize the utter
ance of abstract - "doctrine;" thai
what It does prohibit "Is language ad
vocating .advising or teaching the
overthrow of organized government
by unlawful means."
Justice Sanford thus described the
Guitlow manifesto;
"It advocates and urges in fervent
language mass action which shall
progressively foment Industrial dis
turbances and through political maun
strikes and revolutionary mass action
overthrow nnd destroy organized par
liamentary government.
"The means advocated for bringing
about the destruction of organized
parliamentary government necessarily
Imply the use of force and violence
and In their essential nature are In
herently unlawful In a Constitutional
government of law and order.
"That the jury was warranted in
finding that the manifesto advocated
not merely the abstract doctrine of
overthrowing organized government
by force, violence and unlawful
means, but action to that end is
clear."
The right of the state to punish
those who abuse the constitutional
freedom of speech, the opinion said.
Is not open to question.

LONDON, Juno 8. (By Associated
Press.) Official circles today regard-,
ed the Chinese situation as more seri
ous because of the reports received
here that the strikes were spreading
In various Chinese cities.
No news haH been received here re
garding the fate of missionaries In
the Interior of China.
Advices were that demonstrations
continued in Peking, Shanghai and
Canton but that public utilities, such
as waterworks and electric plants
continued to function in those cities.
PEKING, Juno 8. (By Associated
Press.) The delegation appointed by
tho foreign legations to Investigate
the trouble growing out of tho strike
in tho Japanese-owned cotton mills in
Shanghai left for that city this morn
ing and should arrive m, from. 4 to
00 hours. '
Appointment of the delegation,
which consists of the secretaries of
the various legations has created a
good Impression among the Chinese
nnd Is giving the authorities and con
servative unofficial element u basts
upon which to plead for moderation
in tho attitude of the natives toward
tho foreigner.
The only evidence of activity by the
agitating students yesterday was the
distribution of handbills purporting In
the collective demands of thirty
schools. These documents, more or
less hysterically phrased, demanded
redress for the ShanKhal situation.
Newspaiicrs Calm
Tho newspaper comment has boen
unusually calm and analytical but its
koynote Is thnt the time has arrived
when China must have her political
rlrbtn restored.
An open letter Issued over the
signatures of a group of locally prom
inent Chinese Including Br. V. K.
Wellington Koo, former foreign min
ister, urges the foreigners to try to
understand the Chinese viewpoint and
appenls to the Chinese to refrain from
antagonizing tho foreigners. It asks
that both seek adjustment through
friendly consultation and conciliation.
Tho outbreak at Chlnklang where
there was some rioting, appears to
have been soon over and no casual
ties are reported. The abatement of
the rioting synchronized with the ar
rival of the American torpedo boat
destroyer Paul Jones.
Dispatches from Knlfeng, Hunan
province, .report thnt the strike and
student movement against foreigners
have created a serious situation there.
Private advices from Talanful,

Craterlan tonight, has been cnncelled.
A wire was received by Manager
George A. Hunt last night, telling of
thu strike, and telegrams received
this morning, revealed that the com
pany had not left San Francisco.
There was a good seat sale for the
show, and several large theater par
ties from Klamath Falls, Yreka,
Grants Pass, Ashland, and other
southern Oregon points were ad
vised by phone and wire this morn
ing, of the cancelling of the per

SAN FRANCISCO, June 8. Louis
O. MncLoon, theatrical manager of
San Francisco and Los Angeles, an
nounced here yesterday that he will

hns reached a settlement with the
Actors' Equity association which Sat
urday night prevented the final per
formance of a two weeks' run here of
Romeo and Juliet under his manage
ment with Jane Cowl starring.
The action In calling the strike wns
taken by Theodore Hale, attorney nnd
western representative of the Equity
association, who asserted Mr. Mac
Loon had abandoned rehearsals of
another play In which Miss Cowl was
to star and which would retain tho
same cost as the Shakespearean pro
duction. 'Tho whole question is whether
Miss Cowl nnd her company are a
permanent repertoire company or a
company engaged for an Individual
production, snld Mr. MacLoon who
Is also manager of the "Lady Be
Good" compnny which opened here
last night nnd of the "No, No, Nan-,
nette" compnny, now In its nineteenth
week In Los Angeles.
"I have posted a check nnd offered
to leave the dlsputo to arbitration to
the Actors' Equity association and ,
the Managers' Protective association."
It Is understood Mr. MuoLoon Is
disposing of his Interests to Edward
D. Smith of Los Angeles, former esao-y
clnte of the Shuuerts.
Announcement thnt Saturday night's
performance would not be given was,'
mado to the audience nearly an hour
after the time set for the curtain to
rise. .
A stntement by Mr. Hale said that
unless Mr. MacLoon reached an
agreement with tho Equity associa
tion action would be taken to close'
