NATION
Holds Gen Washington's Ideals
Will Never Be outgroWn.
Raps Pesslmists.

SYRACUSE, ". Y, Feb. 22.-The
motive power Of progress and re-
form has not come from the high
and mighty, but from the masses
Of the people, Vice President Col
win Coolidge declared today during
an address in which he repainted the
picture OF George Washington's life
and held 1t aloft as an inspiration
and example never to be outgrown
by modern America.
The Vice President described as
Americas ideal of government q
system where the individual Is
clothed with. inalienable rights,
where the people are supreme and
the Government their agent, and
he said 1t was for such George
Washington had strived not in vain.
Tests Of Intelligence.
He contracted self-governmept
with imperialistic rule, directed by
intellectuals Of divine right.
There Is In our country con-
siderable body of thought which
has come to doubt the existence of
sufficient intellectual force for main
tenance and advance of progress, =
Vice President Coolidge remarked.
They have attempted a Quantitar
tive analysis Of a cross section Of
the people to determine the amount
OF their intelligence. They have
thought it does not test very high
and that, therefore, civilization is
in grave peril.
"But while the teaching of ideals
has had its source in institutions
OF higher learning, the motive
power Of progress and reform comes
from the masses. Such movements
have their origin close to the soil.
Pilgrims Were Humble.
"The pilgrims were humble peo-
pie. For the most part the wealth
and aristocracy of the colonies did
not follow Washington, but the sup
port Of the revolution came from
the farm. from the men OF the
town meeting.
'RThis is far from saying civiliza-
ton can be maintained without any
effort. We have come to our pres
ent high estate through toll and
sacrifices. In the divine nature Of
mankind there is every warrant for
the profoundest belief that faith
and hope are justified and that
righteousness will prevail"
Gratified at Progress.
In spite OF the pessimists, Cool
idge was gratided ct the progress
Of civilization. He said none can
deny there is far greater inteIli-
gence and wider scope Of knowi-
edge today than in the generations
which have gone before.
It cannot be disputed" he said,
ut times old barbarfties break out
and Ehere blazes up the ancient
ferocity OF the cave and forest. but
generally they meet with retribu-
ton, always with condemnation.
The humanity Of common brother
hood asserts itself in the relief of
the oppressed and rescue of the
imperiled."

Hero Rescues Child In
Front Of Train, But
Hides Name

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. o.
Norfolk was searching today
for q real hero, who, at the risk
of apparently certain death,
whisked child from the path
of q speeding freight train and
then disappeared without re-
vealing his identity.
Nine-year-old Paul Fulcher
was dragging his little red
wagon home, filled with gro
ceries for his mother. He
walked directly in front of a
train. He stood petrified with
fear. Bystanders turned away
in horror-all save one. He
leaped between the tracks and
jumped to safety with the child
in his arms, as the train roared
by.
"Who are your" cried the
crowd in admiration. "Only a
man." the stranger replied, as
he turned on his heels and de-
parted.

public from us, not an q British
enemy at all"
AS to Americas part in the war,
Premier Bonar Law said:
America entered the war with
nothing to gain and much to lose.
Her entry perhaps had decisive ef-
feet. Neither nations nor individuals
are able to continue the unselfish
atmosphere in which they lived in
war time.
Withdrew Before PeacO.
America took a great part in the
peace, but the President of the
United States at that time miscon.
ceived the opinion of the American
people, In consequence, the United
States withdrew from Europe before
peace was secured"
The Premier paid tribute to Amer.
lea and Great Britain impartially.
The past war emphasized, he said,
that the world has much to expect
from close unity between the Eng
disappearing peoples.
