Sinking of those responsibilities of

be so noticeable but Is more insid-
ious and likely to be more devas-
tating."
The address was delivered on the
anniversary of the battles of Con-
cord and Lexington, and after refer
ring to the form of government set
up as result of the revolution, Mr..
Coolidge said:
eff we are to keep our represent
ative form of government and to
maintain the principle that the ma
jority shall rule, it behooves us to
take some drastic action to arouse
the voters of this country to great
er interest in their civic duties on
election day. Many remedies have
been proposed, from disfranchisement
to criminal action. The most prac-
tical, I believe, however, is for all
bodies of men and women interested
in the welfare of this country to join
together under some efficient organi-
cation to correct this evil.
'It was hoped that giving the vote
eral interest in the obligations of
election day. That has not yet proved
to be the case. The presidential
election in 1920 was the first after
the adoption of the universal suf-
frage amendment. There is no way
to divide the total vote cast by men
and women. But, after that election
some rather complicated calculations
were made based the assumption
that the accession of women might
be presumed to double the vote. The
calculators reached the conclusion
that of the approximate 27,000,0OO
votes cast only 81 per cent repre-
sented the votes of women. Some
say the percentage of feminine vote
was greater in 1924. Others say it
was less.
'I am not disposed TO accept these
conclusions as altogether fair to the
women And it stands to reason that
it would take some time for them to
become used to exercising the privi-
lege which had belonged to the men
of this country for many generations.
'It is not my purpose to draw any
distinction between the men and the
women as to the extent to which they
take advantage of their privilege
and perform their duty at the ballot
box But rather it is my idea to call

Making passing reference to law
observance as it relates to the duties
of citizenship, the president said that
it cannot be denied that in the

that in too many quarters there is a

it,. If fire should go through our
forest it would probably destroy
| everything, and then there would
be no per capita payments from sold
timber, no. game, no range for our
sheep and goats, and no grass for
our tribal herd. There would be
nothing but a bIackened waste.
Therefore the Indians should do
everything possible to avoid forest
fires. First of all, we must be very
| careful of fire ourselves, never leav-
/ ing our camp fire until we are sure
that it is out and can do no damage.
We should also be careful in regard
to throwing matches, and lighted
cigarette butts into dry places for
large fires have often been started
in this very way. When you see a
forest fire, go to it Immediately and
try to put it out. Remember, no
matter how big a fire may become,
there was a time when one man
could have put it out. If the fire is
too big for you, notify the agency,
telling them of it's location.
"Our fathers saved the forest for
| us, and we want to pass it on to our
children. We want to give them a
green forest, not one that is all black
and burned.

duty we owe ourselves, our children,

ators with the forest service in pro-
tecting the forests against fire. They
have. also proved to be excellent fire
fighters whenever their services have
been necessary. The records of the
forest service in the southwest show
shat Indians rarely start forest
fire. When an occasional Indian be-
! comes careless with fire, the tribal
| council has been prompt in con-
demning his act. Considering the
! large number of Indians who use the

\ that so few fires of Indian origin
