“ENCLOSED FIND CHECK-”
Three pleasant words with a deep
meaning.
They mean that the sender is one
who knows how to do business;
who has a bank account, and who,
therefore, is likely to have a good
credit rating and whose business is
a reliable, going concern.
Pay by check. It’s the modern
way to do business and to meet
your obligations. Open an account

nary age. The question of politics
and government is the master top
ic, and during the century and a
quarter of our government it has
intensively occupied the thoughts of
men. We learn from the result of
experiment how fortunate is our own
condition and how admirably the
character of our people was calcu
lated for making the great example
of popular government. Under the
influence of rapidly increasing
knowledge ,the people have begun to
think and to reason on affairs of
state. Regarding government as an
institution for the public good, they
demand a knowledge of its operation
and a participation in its exercise.
Knowledge that the powers of gov
ernment are but a trust, and that
they can not be lawfully exercised
but for the good of the community.
Anti now let us indulge an honest
exultation in the conviction of the
benefit which the example of our
country has produced, and is likely
to produce on human freedom and
human happiness. And let us en
deavor to comprehend in all its mag
nitude and to feel in all its import
ance the part assigned to us in the
great drama of human affairs. We
are placed at the head of the sys
tem of representative and popular
government. Thus far our example
shows that such governments are
compatible, not only with respectabil
ity and power, but with repose, with
peace, with security of personal
rights, and with good laws and a just
administration.
Writh reference to President Cool
idge, it might be well to say that in
his long and brilliant political ca
reer, personal considerations never
for a single instant caused him to
swerve from the strict line of duty,
and none have ever doubted his deep
sincerity in all his actions. The life
of President Coolidge is a striking
example of the abiding fame which
surely awaits the direct and candid
statesman. The entire absence of
equivocation or disguise, in all his
acts was his master-key to the popu
lar heart.

| as Mr. Coolidge has won, is worth
i any man’s ambition. And how has
he won it, By courting the shifting
gales of popularity? No. Never.—
By truckling to the schemes, the
arts, and seductions of the demagog?
j Never. His hardest battles as a pub
' lie man,—his greatest achievements
1 have been against, at first, an ad
verse public opinion.
His unprecedented triumph with
people, as reflected in the wishes of
his own party, came to him after a
republican congress—republican at
j least in name—had flaunted him as
I no President has been defied, not
even Cleveland or Roosevelt. He
j found himself at out with congress
■ from the beginning to the end of the
one session which has been held
[ since he became President on August
2, last. One of the first of the Cool
j idge declarations was that he would
f attempt so far as possible to carry
out the policies of the lamented
President Harding. The one out
standing Harding policy at the time
of his death wras that America should
give adherence to the World Court
of Justice as organized under the
League of Nations* Mr. Coolidge has
been able to make no’ headway with
a recalcitrant Senate. Senator Lodge,
from his own state of Massachusetts,
having been one of the big stumbling
blocks encountered.
Outside of legislative circles at
Washington, Mr. Coolidge’s strength
with the party was not undeniable,
but altogether striking. All along
the line from New England to Cal
ifornia, his popular strength was
shown in the primaries. Congress
hail failed to support him chiefly be
cause the nominal Republican major
ity was completely helpless and al
ways at the mercy of a combination
of the Democrats and Insurgent Re
publicans. There was no resentment
against his veto of the bonus bill,
because every intelligent man in the
; United States knew that the bonus
bill was an unworthy affair that
ought not to have been passed, and
that merited precisely the criticism
that were passed upon it in the veto
message. The same can be said of
the Bursum Pension bill, which Mr.
Harding had previously vetoed and
was an unsuitable measure.
It must be remembered that every
, Congressional seat was to be filled
in the November election, and that
Congressmen in general were think
ing and acting in relation to what
they regarded as the particular sit
uation in their own districts.
Under the republican administra
tion we are facing an era of great
prosperity—one of the greatest the
country has ever experienced. Dis
content is rapidly disappearing and
we are entering a period of peace as
well as prosperity.
Perhaps I may be sanguine but
I think that good times for the la
boring class of the country are to be'
continued . I do not entertain that
hope because I expect that Socialism,
Communism, Radicalism, or any of
those other “isms/' foi which the j
plain English word is “Robbery,”
will prevail. I know that such
schemes only aggravate the misery'
which they pretend to relieve. I know
it is possible, by such‘legislation, to
make the rich poor, but I know it is
utterly impossibly to make the poor
rich. |
Well, Hal ,this is enough for this
time. I am now with the Republican
National Committee, with offices in
the Wrigley Building, this city. Am
with the publicity department right
now, but I am assigned to the
Speakers Bureau beginning the last
week of this month. I expect to be
sent to either Montana, Washington,
or Nevada. I will probably be mak
ing addresses through the months if
September and October. Directly af
ter the election in November I will!
depart for Seward. With very best
wishes and kindest regards, I re
