tion of such court."
Conviction under article 96 pro
vides a penalty ranging from dis

view to the judge advocate general,
they could not retreat northward,
he subject also to review by Presi
dent Coolldge, since the court was
ordered at his direction.

"The utmost ingenuity on thei

substantially wasted In an effort I
to enforce the law It there does'
not exist a strong and vigorous
determination on the part of the
people to observe the law. Such:
a determination cannot be produced'
by the government. My opinion is1
that It Is furnished by religion."
Speaking directly on radicalism,
the president said that with few
exceptions those "who come to us
as enemies ot society are so be
cause they have always found so
ciety enemies to them." The moral
powers of religion, he asserted, will
aid greatly in securing their alle
giance. Teaching or religion, be said,
necessarily meant . teaching educa
tion and government, and furnished
a needed support of the government
without which political effort would
be practically fruitless.
'T have tried to Indicate," he
continued, "what I think the coun
try needs In the way of help under

religion. If there are any general
failures In the enforcement of the
law, It Is because there have first
been general failures in the dis
position to observe the law. I can
conceive of no adequate remedy for
the evils which beset society except
through the Influences of religion.
Thore Is no form of education which i
will not fail, there Is no form of
government which will not fall,
there Is no form of reward which
will not fall. Redemption must
