COOLIDGE SEES EVIL
IN v|ND|CTVENESS
Urges Its Elimination From
Public Life in Address to
Odd Fellows
SHOULD YIELD TO CHARITY
BY the Associated Press

Boston, Sept. Ex-Governor Coolidge
today sounded a call for the elimina-
tion from American public life of the
spirit of vindictiveness which he said
was all too prevalent.
He was addressing the Sovereign
Grand Lodge, Independent Order Of
Odd Fellows, in formal welcome on
the occasion of the opening of their
annual communication.
There is nothing this nation so
needs today as the cultivation of a
charitable spirit. We must have done
with intolerance and with selfishness, -
the governor said.
"These are the bane alike of public
life and private business. What is il
that distorts the true nobility of com
merce and industry wherever It runs
like curse through any of the bust :
ness life Of the country? Selfshness
What Is 1t that arouses the bitterness
of party and factional animosities? In
tolerance!
"Werneed to substitute for that win =
dictive spirit that is all too prevalent in
American public life the spirit of holy
charity.
Our public life is prone to be toe
vindictive. In too many cases it takes
on the style of ordinations and recrim
nations. There is no virtue in refer
ring to political opponents as crooks
and liars, or describing their policies as
COnspiracies against the public welfare
or making their motives subject only tC
sinister influences. Let broad and all
embracing charity require candid ant
intelligent discussion of issues worthy
Of that reason with which man alone il
endowed, rather than a pandering tc

Why not appeal to it now?'

CHIMES RING ONCE MORE
SemInarlans Repair Bells When Ex'

The sound of the chimes of the I'm
maculate Conception Chapel, Of st.
Vincent's Seminary, Germantown, upon
the evening air after ten years silence
reflects the ingenuity of two of the
young seminarians there. The bells;
which went out of order after ten years
service in 1910, were pronounced i'm
possible of repair by experts.
Convinced that the chimes could be
fixed. the young men devoted their spare
time for the last two weeks to the re,
pair of the bells, with the result that
now they ring again each evening from
Z :45 to s o'clock from the belfry OF the
chapel at Chelten avenue and Musgrave
street. The total cost of repairs, ac'
cording to the seminarians, was S3O.
