President Cooidge's Inaugural Ad
dress was typical Calvin COOlidg'
message t. the people Of the UniteC
States. 1t was clear, concise, and Sc
worded that every citizen Of our lanc
knew just exactly what the President
meant.
In his address, President Coolidge
voiced the heartfelt wish that the
United States might continue to pros
per, that the lot Of each man, woman
and child might be happy one. The
President did not waste any words In
flowery rhetoric. His speech was
from his heart. It contained the ut
terances of man who genuinely
loves his country. The President
voiced his desire that labor in all its
branches should receive full and ade-
Quate return for it's efforts He does
not believe that any line of human ac-
tivities should receive something for
nothing, but he is emphatic in his be-
lief that labor should be paid a just
wage. He believes that the working
woman, as well as the working man,
should have at all time equitable
treatment, contending that prosperity,
good wages, amply supplied house,
holds. make for q contented citizenry.
President Coolidge reiterated his
emphatic opposition 10 the eancella-
tion Of any Of the foreign debts.
Europe, after reading his message,
can make no mistake on that score.

tude that he did in his first message
10 Congress.
In discussing the World Court, the
President expressed the hope that the
nations of the world might arrive AZ
a conclusion which would make for a
and d fasting peace.
World Peace, he says, must come
from the heart and while world
courts, parleys, and other gatherings
may be of advantage in securing the
desired result, the prime factor is the
attitude Of the people of the world

in favor Of any entangling alliances
nor Of our surrendering in the slight
est manner the rights that we have
enjoyed for years.

eisn relations, the President express
I'd the desirability of the United

tending relations with the peoples OF

believes that amicable commercial re-
Iations will do much to bring abour
oetter political feelings betIeen the
countries Of the world.

portance of the saving of the taxpay-
.r's money. There is no doubt that IN

II the contributory causes Of lessen
ng the burdens now borne by the peo-
,le in the form Of taxes. His views
m this subject, If acted upon by state
governments, would further reduce
he burden Of taxes borne by our
,eople. There is q determination on
he part Of the President to prevent
he waste Of q single dollar of the
,eople's money. He believes that
