We must be frank with ourselves. We ought to be .our own harshest critics. We <;an afford to be, for in spite of everything we still have a balance of prosperity, of general welfare, of secure freedom, and of righteous purpose, that gives us as surance of leadership among the na tions. —1 “What Atnerica needs is to hold to • its ancient and well-charted course. 1 ~~* v Our country was concerved in the theory of local self-government.

The individual, instead of working out his own salvation and se curing his own freedom by establish ing his own economic and moral in dependence by his own industry and his own self mastery, tends to throw himself on some vague influence which he denominates society and to hold that in some way responsible for the sufficiency of his support and the morality of his actions.' “The local political units, Ukewfte look to the states, the states look to the nation, and nations ,are beginning to look to some vague organization, some nebulous concourse of humanity, ttr pay their bills and tell them what to do. . This is not local self-govern ment. It is not American. It is not the method which has made this coun try what it is. We can hot maintain the western standard of civilization on that theory. If it is supported at all, it will have to be supported on the principle of individual responsibility. Tf that principle be maintained, the resiilt which I believe America wishes to see^ produced inevitably will fol low. “If we are too weak to take charge of our owrt morality, we shall hot be strong enough to take charge of our own liberty. If we can not govern ourselves, if we can not observe the law, nothing remains but to have some one else govern us, to have the law enforced against us, and to step down from the honorable abiding.'place of freedom to the ignominious abode of servitude. * “The whole world has reached a stage in which, if we do not set our- ■getires TigWt, We maybe perfectly sure Be Distributed Here THURSDAY.;JUNE 4, 1925 Fi^r^t=gl|^i^tJr^i=Jmn=iiip=ir=Jr3ilr=iF=ip=ii==jr=ir=Jn^lpait==lFa /N You Live With ■ ■■ f 'V ♦ 111 i! i! 1 II I!

The only action which can be effective in the long run is that which helps others to help themselves. Before we assume TdO'-great .'responsibilities in the governing of others, it would be the part of wisdom very completely to [ discharge our responsibilities for gov-i eming durselves. j “A large amount of work has to be done, at home before we can sfart in on the neighbors,, and very consider able duties have to be performed in America before we undertake . the direction of the rest of the world. But we must at all times do the best we i can for ourselves without forgetting others, and the best we can for our own country without forgetting other rations.” * Discussing the complaint which he said is heard to a lesser extent than at the time of the Civil war that the federal government usurps functions properly belonging^to the states, the president declared that despite the claim that this is a land of equal op- I portunity “equality suffers often be- j cause of the divergencies between the laws of different states.” “So long as some can go to a dis tant state for divorces which others are denied at home,” he added, “there is not''equality in this regard. When some states grant valuable exemptions from taxation which other ^states im pose, one person may enjoy while another is denied these rights. — ^7“A few years ago a majority of the states had adopted -prohibition or rigid restrictions on the traffic, in intoxicat ing liquor. But other states did not cooperate in advancing the policy, and ultimately by national action, it was extended to all the union. rBy -failing to meet the requirements of a national demand the states became deprived of the power to act. .. \ *“If questions which the states will now fairly settle on their own account shall have to be settled for them by the federal authority, it will only be because some states will have refused to discharge obvious duties.” It will be surprising" how much even a small amount of money - will accomplish when combined / with ~g6bd~' taste in r judgement in where and what to buy.
