When the government steps in, the purchasers, users, and beneficiaries of what the government undertakes 10 supply insist that the concern should be conducted for their benefit.

Under these conditions it ceases to be q real business, become lacking in enterprise and initiative and does not have any motive to provide i'm proved service.

 On State Rights
 We have long since realized that we have become one nation. But it is a nation founded on individual states Their rights ought always to be scrupu!ously regarded. Unless their actons are such as to violate the Constitution and seriously interfere with the rights of other states, they should be left 10 solve their own problem in their own way under the pressure of public opinion, rather than have outside authority step in 10 attempt to solve it for them
 If we are going to have local self government with all of it's advan- 'ascs. We can not escape from some ot Its limitations When authority is located afar off it is necessa rily less well informed, less sympathetic and iess responsive to public require nlents. When it is close at hand, it is more likely to be executed publicly and in the public interest. Having a personal contact. it is more humane and more charitable. On the other hand, rights cannot be long preserv- cd unless they are accompanied by a dlScharse of obligations. States rights cannot be used indefinitely to perpetuate national wrongs"

PRESIDENT TALKS
 BEFORE ASSEMBLY
Delivers Opening Address Be,
 fore D. A. R. Gathering

Washington, April 17 R - A warning to those who are willing to surrender local self government" to federal agenices or private inter- csts was coupled by President Cool idge last night with an admonition against putting the government in the field of business.
 Addressing tho Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolu- ton, the president elaborated cX- tensively on those two themes but gave no indication whether his views were prompted by recent in- cidents or legislative proposals be- fore the federal congress.
 Observing that there are always those who are willing to surrender local government and turn over their affairs to some national au- thority in exchange for a payment of money out of the federal treas ury," the president continued:
 Whenever they find that some abuse needs correction in their neighborh ood. instead of applying a remedy themselves they seek to have tribunal sent on from Wash ington to discharge their duties for them. regardless of the fact that in accepting such supervision they are bartcring away their freedom"
 Govt. Out of Business
 Government, Mir. Coolidge said must be kept out of business.
 If the people are to remain po- litically free they must be economi- caIly trec,' he asserted. Their only hope in that direction is for them 10 keep their own business in their own hands,
 He expressed d belief that public ownership leads inevitably to "po- stion of cntrenched selhshness. where great body of public en- rloycs and large outside interests are in virtual control, with the gen. cral public paying high cost for poor service" With all the care that it is possible 10 exercise" he said. "a situation Of this kind be- comes cntangled in favoritism and is always in great danger of corrup- lion and scandal"
 Self Government
 Stressing local elf-sovernmcnt as his topic and emphasizing that for this ideal the revolution was fought to the end that the individual might be free 10 manage his own affairs, whether they were economic, politi- cal or reljgious,' the President con- 'inTed:
 At certain times and in certain places we have been neglectful of it. and the power of self government. instead of being retained by the peo- pie, has been exercised by those who were serving their own private inter- ests rather than the public welfare.

 ''How is the Welfare association maintained? CD By the United Community corporation. CD by in come from invested funds.
 How does the Welfare association serve the families? CD By adjust ing home situations where the cause is illness, descrtion, neglect, widow hood, cruelty. non-support, etc. @ by furnishing food, fuel, clothing and medication.
 "Is this relief continued? Yes, if necessary, as d means toward d com plete social rcadjustmcnt.

have been paid (sa7.50) and rent to the amount of s292. This emergen- cy aid will be unnecessary as soon as many of the fathers return 10 regular employment. Four have al- ready taken up the burden of sup port again after a period of many weeks of idleness. Under these cir cumstances the Welfare association is serving the families who in nor- nal times would be wholly self-sup- porting.
 How does the Welfare Associa- ton otherwise serve the community besides dealing directly with the family? CD By a thorough investi- saton of all complaints, inquiries or applications received. CD By fur nishing all persons having a legiti- mate interest in such cases full re- ports of investigations. (3) By ob- taining from the proper sources the relief necessary. A) By providing employment for the idle who are wholly or in part able to support themselves. (O By using all avail able resources in the community in the interest of social betterment co By advocating abolishment of all begging and by prosecution of impostors.
 How can the services of the Vel fare association be obtained? By coming to the office at 52 Center street or tclephoning 1277 between the hours of S:30 a. m. and p. m

Seven rela- tives were notified by the Welfare association concerning the time when travellers would arrive. Four newcomers were met personally by Welfare Association workers at the railroad station and conducted to their destinations. Three telegrans were sent to other cities, the Wet fare association assuming the ex- pcnsc. Thirteen foIlow-up visits have been made 10 assure authori- ties at the port of entrance that cor rect social adjustments are being made for the stranger in a strange land.

ScEfen and Son
Vivid Portrayal
OfPaternal Love

Herbert Brenon. producer-director
OF "Sorrell and Son." current film
at the Arcadia theater. Harrington,
insisted that Warwick Deeping's nov
ell was the finest screen material he
had yer read, and he made the pic
ture possibilities SO vivid to Mr..
Schenck, president and chairman az
the board Of directors Of United
Artists, that the executive told him
TO go ahead.
II was before "Sorrell" became a
best-seller that Brenon read it. He
read il because il was advertised as
the story of the love of father and
son, and he wanted to follow Beau
Geste" with another escape from the
conventional love plot.
On his way to England, where
certain scenes were filmed. Brenon
talked TO dozens Of men, in the smok-
ing room Of the ship, in the Turkish
bath. They had all read "Sorrell,"
and when they talked Of il and what
IL had meant to them, they spoke Of
their own fathers or their own sons.

not disappoint Brenon. who had come

"You know, after Eve worked with
a man like Deeping, I couldn't put
anything in the picture which would
be false 10 the spiritual facts Of his
story" Brenon said. Il keep say
ing, He wouldn't like that, so /
can't do it,"
In "Sorrell and Son" the novel,
Brenon found certain things which
seemed to him false to the spiritual
facts with which Deeping was work

to their omission.
