Uniform law applicable to the whole
nation which will protect childhood.
Our count y cannot afford to let any
one live or the earnings Of Its youth
Of tender years. Their places are not
In the factory, but in the school, that
the men and women of tomorrow may
reach higher state Of existence and
the nation higher standard of citi-
zenship.
II am in favor of national defense
not merely as an abstract state of
mind, but as a concrete mode Of ac-
ton. favor not merely talking about
1t, but doing something about 1t. I do
not want the safety of my country to
be imperiled in its domestic or for
sign relations by any failure to be
ready to preserve order or repel at
tack. But propose to work for vol
untary observance Of law and mutual
covenants Of peace.
Common Sense Greatest Asset.
I'VE are likely to hear great deal
Of discussion about liberal thought
and progressive action. It Is well for
the country 20 have liberality In
thought and progress In action. but Its
greatest asset Is common sense. In
the commonplace things Of life lies the
strength Of the nation. II is not in
brilliant conceptions and strokes Of
genius that we shall find the chief re-
lance Of our country, but In the home,
In the school, and In religion. Amer
lea will continue to defend these
shrines. Every evil force that seeks
to desecrate or destroy them will find
that Higher Power has endowed
the people with an inherent spirit of
resistance. The people know the DIFF
ference between pretense and reality.
They want to be told the truth. They
want to be trusted. They want a
chance to work out their own mate
rial and spiritual salvation. The peo-
pie want government Of common
sense.
"These, Mr.. Chairman, are some Of
the beliefs which l hold, some OF the
principles which I propose to support.
Because am convinced that they are
true, because / am satisfied that they
are sound. submit them with abiding
faith to the Judgment of the Amerlcap
people"

In discussing tho present pro

FOR foreign service. an expenditure
estimated at 81. 2O0.OO0,O00 would be

I'm September. 1922. president

cost would approximate $3.50. 900, 900.
schwellenbach said. but even this
estimate" he pointed out, ''would
stili leave n surplus OF unspent

He also declared that many per.
sons do not understand that but n
small portion of the bonus ,would
be given In cash. only persons
entitled to 500 or less would receive
cash, with the others taking paid
