Liberal Thought and Common

_ x
l Nomina-
ment 'of many treaties and seeking
entrance in the Permanent Court of
International Justice. He called at-
tention to the refusal of ratification
of the League of Nations Covenant
but recalled cooperation by the gov-
ernmcnt with the League in suppres-
sing the narcotic trade and promot-
ing public health.
“We have every desire to help."
he added. “but the time. the place.
and the method must be left to our
determination. Under 0 r constitu-
tlon we cannot forecl e the right of
the President or the Congress to de-
termine our future problems when
they arise."
Recalling the disclosures in con-
nection with the Naval 011 Reserve
leases. Mr. Coolidge reiterated his
determination to "use every possible
effort to resist corruption in office."
Government Must Be Clean.
“The American' government must
be clean." he said. "The laws of the
land are being, and will continue to
be enforced. The government is
sound. Individuals charged with
wrongdoing are being prosecuted.
The people of this country hate cor-
ruption. They know my position.
They know the law will be enforc-
ed."
Mr. Coolidge served notice on the.
party to live within its means dur-
ing the present campaign and to
cooperate with the Senate committee
in detailing the lists of its expendiv
tures.
He also plainly told the party that
"no individual or group of individ-
uals may expect any governmental
favors in return for party assist~
ance."
Taking up only briefly the ques«
tion of national defense, the Presi-
ly talking about it but doing some-
thing about." _
In a. recital of the government‘s
accomplishments since lilarcn 4.
1931. Mr. Coolidge mentioned the
Arms Conference. the restoration of
I. technical state of peace. the pogo.
tiation of treaties with many coun-
tries, repeal of wartime taxes, fund-
ing of a. large part of the foreign
debt. improvement in employment
conditions. enhancement of the pric-
es of government-bonds. reduction
of the cost of government, establilh-
ment of the budget, immigration rc-'
form, reduction of the army and
navy to a. “low peace time basis"
conversion of war materials and sup-
plies in to cash, increase in wages,
a. revival of industry. establishment
of the veterans bureau. enactment
of "generous" laws for the relief of
disabled veterans and establishment
of a tariff act.
Refers to Jul Exclusion Imw
Touching on the new immigration
law, Mr. Coolidge recalled his 'pre-
fercnce for a. clause on Japanese ox-
clusim which would be "less likely
to offend the sensibilities of the Jap-
anese People." but emphasized that
the law has been passed. and ap-
proved and "the incident is closed."
"We are likely to hear a. great
deal of discussion about liberal
thought and progressive action. "he
concluded, "it is. well for the coun~
try to have liberality in thought
and progress in action. but its great-
est. asset is common sense in the
common sense. In the common-
place things of life lies the strength
of the, nation. It is no tin bril-
liant conceptions and strokes of gen-
ius that we shall find the, chief re-
liance of our country. but in the
home. in the school. and in religion.
America will continue to defend
these shrines. Every evil force that
seeks to desecrate or destroy them
will find that a higher power has on-
(lowed the people with an inherent
spirit of resistance. the people
know the difference between pre-
tense and reality. They want to be
told the truth. They want to be
trusted. They want a. chance to
work out their own material and
spiritual salvation. The people want
a government of common sense.
“These are some of the reliefs
which I hold. some of the principles
which I propose to support. Because
I am. convinced that they are true
because I am satisfied that they are
sound. I submit them with abiding
faith to the judgment of the Amer-
ican people."

Other Platforms Are
Bad
WASHINGTON. Aufl-
ciguy notifying Senator LaFollclte
of Wisconsin. of the endorsement
‘fiven hm.pr¢sidentiai candidacy and
that of his running mate Senator
Wheeler. of Montana. by the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor's executive
council, a. committee. headed by
Frank Morrison. secretary of the
federation declared yesterday that
“every honorable effort" would‘fiac
executed to bring about the election
of the independent candidates.
“We are instructed to say to you
for President Gompers." Mr. Morri-
son told Senator LaFollctte. “that
we are for you and for Senator
Wheeler. that we are for you with-
out restriction and that so far as the
1924 presidential tickets and plat-
forms of the two old parties are
concerned we have burned our
bridges. The fight is on.
"Our examination of the platforms
has shown us beyond question that
both the Republican and Democratic
platforms are unacceptable a. word.
by the way. that seems not to-be
clearly understood in some quarters.
We hope to make it better under-
stood as time passed.
"‘Vhat applies to platforms ap-
plies to candidates. We find in
either case no hope for the wage
earners of the country. We find the
candidates of both parties wholly
unacceptable. '
“As our report makes clear, we
have found the platform upon which
you are a. candidate for president
and upon which Senator Wheeler is
a candidate for Vice president is
more acceptable to labor. more near-
ly meets labor's aspirations and
more nearly meets the needs of the
great mass of the people of our
country and in particular those for
whom we speak, than does any
giher platform now before the peo-
p e. '
When he called on Senator Lo.
Follctte. Mr. Morrison was accom-
panied by James O'Connell. presi-
dent of the federation's metal trades
department, and Martin F. Ryan.
president of the Railway cannon of
America. All three are members of

san political campaign committee.

pices of the Tennis club and the di-

bers. ’The doors will open at 7:30

tumes are another feature that is

odsy no community can call
itself progressive if it fails to pro-
vide for the recreational life of its
people—playgrounds and community
centers are social and business as-
sets.
aModern conditions make special
thought and planning for ‘the rec-
reation imperative. In cities and
larger towns 'where most of arti-
fieiallty—all discourage outdoor play
and socialibility. In small towns in~
difference and lack of trained lead-
ership and of facilities often cause
young people to drift into unwhole-
some pleasures while their natural
talents for constructive recreation
go uncxpressed. The phonograph,
the radio and the movie give pleas-
ure. to be sure. and are marks of
progress. but these things are en-
tertainment passively enjoyed. They
are not adequate substitute for rec-
reation which re-creates.
Wise communities are providing
for active spontaneous play. Ac.
cording to the Playground and
Recreation Assn. of America. 215
cities and towns in America in 192:
reported year—round recreation 'fcr
their people under trained leader-
ship. Not a. few of these communo
ities have a. population betwccn
8.000 and 10.000 only, showing that
cities and towns of modeate. size
can support a. recreation program.
\Valter Camp. noted exponent of
athletics. wrote recently; _
"A community that 1.9" not plan-
ning intelligently for the‘ play life
pie is short-sighted and improvid-
ent from both the humanitarian
and business point of view. In the
long run it is‘bound to fall behind
more enterprising communities."
Is if. not time that: Norwalk, move
up among the progressive commun-
ities of America by providing ade-
quately for public recreation?
Some very significant statistics
should be brought to the public's
attention. Dr. Fish of the Life Ex-
tension Institute has compiled after
much study these statistical facts
about the death 'incrcases in the fol-
lowing ratios: Age- 45 to 49 years.
{tom 14.? per 1.000 in 1900 to 16.6
in 1910: ages 50 to 54 years. from
17.2 per 1,000 in 1900 to 19.6 per
in 1910; ages 55 to 59. years from
22.3 per 1,000 in 1900 to 27.0 in
1910. Moreover he brought forth
statistics showing where as typhoid
has decreased five per cent... tuber-
culosis 43 per cent. and pneumonia.
41 per cent. in deaths, there are in-
creases in death throughout the fol—
lowing disorders: Nervous system,
so per cent: heart. 38 per cent;
kidney and urinary. 43 per cent.;
liver and digestive, 33 per cent.
Why is this so? The dominating
and outstanding cause of such statis-
tic- ll the decrease in outdoor life.
and vigor-ode muscular activity. and
only in the intelligent knowledge of
physical education lies the remedy
for all these ills.
Visit our playgrounds and the
above fact- about .play will be
brought out: the kiddies giving vent
to their unlimited joy in playing are
living the life of man. Watch them
and learn your lesson.
I plead with you for your own
good and the good of humanity,
learn the needs of your own private
vault and systematically cater to its
wants. that you may have a healthy
body to benefit you and your pros-
perity. ‘
