The broad ax., 1925-11-28

Coolidge IN 1928. At this point the
audience as one man rose and cheered.
In response, Senator Deneen rose
and bowed gracefully to this splendid
ovation, he said: II am in a peculiar
position this evening. I cannot talk
business because I am a lawyer:
cannot talk politics from the fact that
this is community gathering, thus
we will deal with the things that 60 to
mai e a community better. In the days
gone BY precedents have been estab-
lished that the church is followed BY
the state This makes this gathering
one with high and lofty aims, inspired
by the teachings Of a Divine Father
who gave life and hope that the chill
dren of men might so understand their
duties from a religious standpoint that
would bring a greater light to their
high civic duties. The moral char
acter of men and women. is moulded in
the home from the better teaching Of
the parents from the Bible upon which
all just laws are predicated to meet out
blind justice adequately to man and
womankind.
q have lived in this neighborhood
thirty-hve years. I came here from a
down state village, where my father
did the best he could as circuit rider
in the Methodist Church, where it re-
quired three months for him to make
the circuit and the children had to be

an example ask you to teach your
children that character Of obedience
that will raise the moral status of a
community to that sphere that wher-
ever they may 60 it will Be souls
pride to know that their home develop
ments have fitted them for a construc-
tive part in the community in which
they shall reside"

and when advanced to the governor
ship Of Illinois, he joined the Legis-
lative body in placing upon the statute
books laws to quell riots, to make men
pay back money unlawfully taken
from the State; to force the Illi-
nois Central Railroad to pay the
State for land that they had unlaw-
fully taken; and advocated the passage
Of waterway system that would make
Chicago the greatest seaport in the
world
He told how proud he was when
elected United States Senator and that
Mr.. Julius F. Taylor was one of the
FIVE friends who came to Washington
to see him take the oath Of Office as
Senator of Illinois. AS Senator he said
he was in favor of the Worlds Court

ultimately bring about peace. He
thanked the audience for their close
attention and wished them lasting sue
