Washington, Dec. 30.-Investiga-

decided on today by the House Naval
committee at stormy session.
motion was adopted to call
Secretary Wilbur before the commit
tee January to make such recon-
mendations as he might deem ex-
pedent.
Chairman Butler announced that
during the discussion he had been in
formed unofficially that President
Coolidge expected a conference to
be held within year looking to
further naval disarmament.
1t was at the suggestion of Mr..
Butler, however, that the motion for
an inquiry was made. The chairman
said he supported such a step be-
cause he had been charged with at
tempting to override the will Of the
committee
As adopted the motion represent

string to take up bill proposing a
naval building program and members
who sought to have the committee
direct its attention to measure de-
signed to adjust certain irregulari-
ties in the naval establishment.
HOPEFUL BUT NOT CERTAIN
Washington, Dec. 30.-President
Coolidge is hopeful but not certain
that it will be possible to hold an
other international naval disarm-
ament conference within a year.
Whenever the time for such con-
ference is propitious, Mr.. Coolidge
will exert his influence to bring it
about, but at the present juncture
he is unable to determine when q
conference might be called with
fair prospects of success.

PRESIDENT NOT DECIDED

Washington, Dec. 3O.-President
Coolidge has drawn no hasty conclu
sions from the recent swirl Of de-
velopments surrounding the French
war debt and sees no occasion for
action by the American government
on the basis of present advices.
The President is watching the sit
uation closely. however, and should
there be any indication Of move
by the French government to repu-
diate its obligations it might in
fluence the White House strongly in
its attitude toward the flotation of
private French loans in this country.
While there is no legal restriction
given the federal government over
loans which foreign governments
seek to place with private interests
in this country, the advice of Wash
ington usually is sought by the pros
pective investors and usually is suf
ficient to determine the fate of such
venture.

when he heard it and to those near

Defense attorneys took the same
view, insisting that if the charges

COOLIDGE PHILOSOPHY AND
DOCTRINE

"Men do not make laws. They but
discover them. Laws must be justi-
fed by something more than the will
of the majority. They, must rest on
the eternal foundation of the ma
jority."
STATUTES must appeal to more
than material welfare. Wages
won't satisfy, be they ever so large
Nor houses; nor lands; nor coupons,
though they fall thick as the leaves
of autumn. Man has spiritual ma
ture. Touch it, and it must respond
as the magnet responds to the pole"
"Do the days work. If it be to
protect the rights of the weak, who
ever objects, do it. If it be to help
powerful corporation better to
serve the people, whatever the OPP
osition, do that. Expect to be called
standpatter, but don't be a stand
patter. Expect to be called dema-
gogue, but don't be demagogue.
Don't hesitate to be as revoluntion-
airy as science. Don't hesitate to be
as reactionary as the multiplication
table"
"Don't expect to build up the
weak by tearing down the strong.
Don't hurry to legislate. Give adj
ministration chance to catch UP
with legislation.
"There is no problem so great
but that somewhere man is being
raised up to meet it. There is no
moral standard so high that the peo-
pie cannot be raised up to meet it"
cit is only when men begin to
worship that they begin to grow.
-
"There is no need for Americans
to lack confidence in themselves or
in their institutions. Let him who
doubts them look about him.
cit is not a change that is needed
in our Constitution and laws so much
as there is need of living in accord
ance with them"
"The law of life, the law of prog
ress, is the law of obedience, the law
of service +"
Education which is not based on
religion and character is not educa-
ton !"

THE STRENGTH OF COOLIDGE

Calvin Coolidge grows stronger as
November 4 draws nearer, and now
his election is not doubted by those
best informed. One important fact
is often obscured or forgotten, which
is that the opposition to the Repub-
ican party is divided this year.
Davis, holding large part of the
Democratic vote, will attract very
few states LaFollette's support will
come from groups which have been
anti-Republican for many elections.
The average Republican and many
of those who have opposed the party
in the past like Coolidge and they
will vote for him. He suits them
very we'll.
Americans as a class are law-abid-
ing, or at least they like, others to
be so. President Coolidge is a pro-
found respecter of the law. To him
it is sacred thing. 1t is the will of
the people formally declared. And
as an official, as an agent of the
people, he stands by the law. Indeed
he would violate his official oath in
doing otherwise. He takes his oath
of office seriously.
Then he is for economy. He would
reduce public expense and pay the
public debt. He would lessen the
load on the backs of the taxpayers.
He would not confscate property by
taxation nor penalize industry by
making it galley slave for those who
will not work.
People like Coolidge for this rea-
son also-he is no "swashbuckler. T"
He is for peace with all nations and
for order at home. He loves tran
guilty, and the very fact of his be-
ing in the White House is an assur-
ance that there will be no war to
which this country will be party.
These are only a few of the lead
ing reasons why Coolidge will be the
next president. There are others
equally persuasive. One other may
be stated. He is strong. He will
never waver in his matured convic-
tons or promises. The interested
may rage and storm against him but
it will not avail. The people recog-
nize just now that man is needed in
the White House who will uphold the
law regardless of his personal for
tune.-Duluth Herald. (Democratic)

"MORAL ENSAN{TYo

The defense of two bright young murderers in
Chicago is to be moral insanity" That is an inter-
esting variation.
The boys evidently knew exactly what they were
doing, planning it long in advance, carefully rehears-
ing their program and carrying it out with incredible
cooness and precision. And during the whole period
preceding and following the actual deed, they seem
to have gone through all their normal activities col
lege work. family and social life, etc. without any
evidence OF mental or emotional alteration.
The defense will insist that this very fact proves
the boys did not know right from wrong. Their brains
may have been clear but their moral sense was not.
Wherefore it will be argued, they should not be pun
isled for murder but merely be placed in correc
tive institution.
This is plausible theory The boys moral sense
certainly very dull. But moralist, is not law
yer will want to ask how it happened to be so-Wheth-
the conscience of these lads dull from BIRTH or
whether they made it dull by deliberate, longcon-
tinued acts Of Indulgence and brutality stead
lily increasing in wickedness. Also whether if escap-
ing the gallows and going to public institution
they will be released morally cured after year or
two, to continue their experiments in sin.
