DECLAMATIONIS
GREAT SPIRITUAL
COOLIDGE IS GIVEN GREAT OVA
TION ON VISIT TODAY TO BIG
EXPOSITION.
——d
PHILADELPHNA, July s—(®)—
With a salute of twenty-one guns
President Coolidge today was wel.
comed to the sesqui-centennial inter
national exposition commemorating
the one hundred and fiftieth anni
versary of American independence
Proceeding down Broad street, es
corted by the historic first city troopz
‘the president was given a continu%)
ovation enroute to the huge stadium
at the exposition grounds, where
twenty thousand persons had assem
bled to do him honor.
The spirit of the fathers of the Re
public was invoked in his address at
the Sesqui Centennial Exposition
commemorating the one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the Declara
tion of Independence.
Referring to the Declaration as a
great spiritual document, whose prin
ciples were the result of the relig
ious teachings of the preceding pe
riod, Mr. Coolidge said the real heart
of the American government depend
ed upon the heart of the people and
that it was from that source that
the nation must look for ail genuine
reform.
“We live in an age of science and
of abpunding accumulation of ma
terial things,” he said. “These did not
create our Declaration. Our Declara
tion created them. The things of the
spirit come first. Unless we cling tc
that, all our material prosperity, over;
whelming though it may appear, wits
turn to a barren scepter in our grasp
If we are to maintain the great her
itage which has been bequeathed to
us, we must be lik-minded as the fath
‘ers who created it. We must not sink
into a pagan materialism. We must
cultivate the reverence which they
had for the things that are holy. We
must follow te spiritual and mora!
leadership which they showed. We
-‘must keep replenished, that they may
glow with a mor compelling' flame
the altar fires before which they wor
shipped.”
Law Obiervance §
A passing reference to law ob
servance was made by the President
the peopl to the government.
"~ “Of course the government can
help to sustain ideals and can create
institutipns through which they can
be the better observed, but their
source by their very nature is in the
porle,” he said. “The people have te
bear their own responsibilities. There
is no method by which that burden
can be shifted to the government.
It is not the enactment, but the ob
servance of laws, that creates the
character of a nation.”
* Yet, he added, “in the develop--
ment of its institutions Tmerica can
fairly claim that it has remained
true to the principles which were de
clared 150 years ago.
“If there is any one thing amonc
us that is developed beyond question
it is self givernment—the right of
the pople to rule. If there is any fail
ure in respect to any of these prin
ciples it is because there is a failure
on the part of individuals to observe
them.
“Ours is a government of the peo
ple. It represents their will, Its of
ficers may sometimes go astray, but
that is not a reason for criticising
the principles of cur institutions. The

“Doesn’t common justice demand
that the chairman resign .from the
board and stand or fall by his record
rather than further destroy the faith
of the people in this depariment.”
While advocating caution in the
matter of bond issues, - Carswell
pledged if elected governor to use
