FRATERNAL| ISM IS
NATION FACTOR
PRESIDENT STRESSES IMPORT
ANCE OF BROTHERHOOD :.
IN TALK
1.-THE Rituals Of Nearly All Fraternal
Organizations" Mr.. Coolidge
Said Before Organization,
Have a Religious Base.

! Washington Fraternalism as a
"strong reliance of ordered govern
ment, according to public law" was
eulogized Friday by President Cool
idge in an address to a delegation
representing the National Fraternal
congress.
"The rituals of nearly all frater-
nal organizations" Mr.. Coolidge said,
"are based upon religion. No true
fraternity can rest on any other con-
ception. 1t is for these reasons that
they are supporters of the true aims
of society, strong reliances of order
ed government, according to public
law, able advocates of the cause of
righteousness and religion, and effec-
tive promoters of peace and good
will among the nations of the earth"
The president characterized the
spirit of brotherhood as the "funda-
mental principle of our country" AS
a result, he said, there is Every
great deal more of equality in Amer
lea than is yet appreciated" He nam
ed the elemental virtues necessary to
success as including industry, loyalty,
faith and fellowship.
"Not to have faith in our fellow
men," he continued, sis not to have
faith in ourselves. 1t is to deny our
mutual dependence upon each other
and upon divine power. We live
in an ordered universe ruled by law
and by the guiding power of provi-
dence. Not to hold faith appears to
me to attempt to fight against the
stars in their courses. Such resist
ance must end in destruction. Faith
in God is the beginning of religion"

Lieutenants Macready and Stevens
Of the army air service assembled in an
airplane 1920 feet above Dayton,
Ohio, few weeks ago. At that height
the airplane was invisible from the
ground. When they looked down the
city was obscured by blue haze. Yet
they snapped their camera several
times and obtained remarkable photo
graphs of the city-pictures in which
the buildings even the automobiles in
the streets, were defined clearly That
they were able to make pictures of OBJ
jects invisible to them was due to
three factors-an extra-long-focus
camera, super-speed film and minus
blue" ray filter that absorbed tho
ground haze. No aerial photograph
ever before had been made from such
a height as six miles.

RODEO SPECTATORS CAUGHT IN
CONFEDERATION FRIDAY

Salt Lake City.-Fire which threat
ened the lives of 10000 rodeo specta-
tors demolished the grandstand at
the state fair grounds Friday, caus-
ing damage estimated at $4,000. No
serious injuries resulted, although
man ypersons were bruised, cut and
scratched. Fourteen automobiles park
ed in the rear of the stand were de-
stroyed. Cowboy riders turned he
roes as the great wall of flame swept
over the closely packed rodeo fans,
many of whom were burned at the
back of the neck as they fled. The
stand, surrounded by a screen of
thick, black smoke, was consumed
like cracker box, and an hour after
the outbreak of flames nothing was
left but pile of cinders, out of
which conspiciously stood a couple of
girders, the presence of which prob
ably saved the lives of thousands,
since the stand remained intact until
the crowd had milled its way to safe

The Latin alliance, creation of the
dictators Of Spain and Italy, which Is
to include South American countries,
but leaves out France, is still upper
most in the minds of Argentine news
paper writers. La Prensa, leading
journal of the Argentine republic, says
that the forthcoming press conference
in Madrid is Of far greater importance
to South American countries than the
International Press conference to be
held in the United States, where only
the publishers of North and South
America are to meet in convention.
Sentiment between the old and the
new world is fine thing. But South
Americas destiny Is closely linked up
with that of the United States and all
lands in this hemisphere. Some day
the people of the United States, and
especially the bankers, industrialists
and captains of commerce are going to
realize this, says the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. And another thing: South Amer
lea ought to know that the play be-
tween Spain and the new world has
nearly always been losing one.

VOTING is HIGHEST DUTY

Somebody has said that the most i'm
portant letter in the alphabet Is the
letter X, because 1t Is the letter or
mark which Is placed on the ballot 70
Indicate how the citizen desires to vote
and the character of men he desires
elected to office, says William Ii. Barr,
president of the National Founders
association, In his weekly letter. To
many of our citizens the marking of q
ballot Is a very inconsequential duty,
done carelessly and with no particular
thought of the fact that II is sacred
duty. The difficulty in our election
procedure Is that not one-half OF
per cent Of our citizens realize when
they are handed a ballot and proceed
to mark 1t that they are fulfilling the
highest duty Of a citizen and that they
are really concentrating the work be-
gun at the battle of Lexington. The
man who is willing to enjoy liberty but
not willing to be responsible for Its
maintenance is not worthy of possess
ing it. Compulsory voting is not car
ticularly desirable. 1t would seem to
be the negation of liberty. On the other
hand, If 1t would bring home forcibly
TO the citizen the necessity Of voting 1t
might be good thing, but 1t is also
well 70 remember that making man
vote does not give him intelligence
enough to vote periodically or with
the best interests of the nation at
heart Every citizen who refrains from
voting or refuses to vote is automad-
cally interfering with the high destiny
Of the country. Bear this in mind next
November and in the meantime don't
forget that the primary election In
your district is where real intelligent
voting begins.
