SOME SOUND AMERICAN
DOCTRINE

Calvin Coolidge, recently re-
elected governor Of Massachu-
setts, was the leading figure in
the fight against the unionization
Of the police force in Boston. lie
made his campaign largely on his
action in upholding the law and
the fact that his position was APP
proved by an overwhelming ma
jority of the people Of the Bay
State is regarded as highly signi-
ficapt
tn address of Gov. Coolidge
before the Republican convention
accepting the nomination Of his
party, is being reprinted as a
noteworthy re-statement of the
Fundamental American doctrines
which need to be stressed at this
timc What Mr. Coolidge said on
that occasion can be heartily en-
dorsed by patriots Of every shade
of political opinion because it is
out-and-out Americanism. In part
the governor spoke as follows:
"The period since our last elee-
ton has been one Of momentous
events. Within It's first week the
victorious advance of America
and her allies terminated in the
armistice of November II. The
power Of organized despotism had
been proven to be inferior to the
power of organized republics.
Reason had again triumphed over
absolutism. The still, small voice
of the moral law was seen to be
greater than the might Of kings |
The world appeal TO duty tri-
umphed over the world appeal to
selfishness. 1t always will. There |
will be far-reaching results from
all this which no one can now for
see But something's are appar-
ent. The power Of the people has
been revealed. The worth of the |
individual man shines forth with |
an increased glory. But most |
significant Of all, for it lies at the
foundation of all civilization and |
all progress, was the demonstra-
tion that the citizens Of the great
republics of the earth possess the
power, which they dare to use,
of maintaining among all men |
the orderly processes of revealed
law.
"This issue is perfectly plain.
The government Of Massachusetts
is not seeking to resist the law
ful action or sound policy Of or
ganized labor. 1t has time and
again passed laws for the protec-
ton and encouragement of trade /
1t has done so under myk
administration upon our recon-
to a greater extent
than in any previous year In
that policy it will continue. 1t is
to prevent a condition

FOR SKIN TDRTURES
Zemo, the Clean, Antiseptic
Liquid, Just What You
Need. Is Not Greasy

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo oD-
tanned at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs mere trifie for each
application. 1t is always dependable.
