MAYOR HARVEY
ALSO APPROVES

Thomas T. Coward, 2405 West
Seventeenth street. has sent a letter
to the governor of every State in
the Union urging them to further
the Golden Rule" movement and to
give 1t their support. Mr.. Clowarl j
has already sent letters 10 heads OF
various concerns and 10 the clergy.
Following is a copy of the letter
sent the governors:
Honored Sir-Would like to re-
spectfully suggest that in extending
wishes for a happy and prosperous
New Year TO the people OF your
State, you request them to make a
New Year resolution to try and fol-
low the Golden Rule in all their
dealings with others and try TO In
fuence as many as possible through
out our country to follow that doc
trine.
There Is absolutely no hope for
future peace. perfect contentment
and true happiness, except in the
practice of the Golden Rule" and
II Is only a question OF time, until
all intelligent mem and women
realize that fact and pledge them
selves accordingly.
Some big movement must be
started to stem the tide Of growing
discomfort and disarm the hearts of
men and women OF the envy and
hatred now dominating, which l
have endeavored to do for over a
year past by the enclosed idea, but
the public mind does not seem to
be quite ready for the press to take
hold Of the proposition and put it
over the top.
The thought has just occurred to
me. What a wnderful boost for gem
eral good could be given the idea,
by the Governor of each State re-
questing his people TO try and keep
the Golden Rule, Do for others as
you would have others do for you
at this time OF New Yeat resolu-
tions, and sincerely hope this ap-
peal TO you will meet with your
favor, and / will greatly appreciate
all you can do to promote the idea
and a personal letter Of endorse
ment.
Some seed already sown has fall
len where II took root. as Indicated
by the enclosed list of endorsements
and copies OF a few personal letters.
but you can make the Golden Rule
so popular the press will be glad TO
take up the proposition.
yours respectfully,
fNrN TaF ~ - A - -
