(ioolidge Appeals to Americans lo
Preserve Institutions of Washington
President Calls lipon Cilizrns
to Make Necessary Sacrifices
for the Maintenance of
Original Ideals.
Washington, Feb. 22.—President
Coolidge, In a radio address delivered
tonight from the While House, com
bined with a tribirte to Washington
an appeal to the American people lo
accept the responsibilities and con
tinue the sacrifices necessary lo make
enduring the institutions which Wash
ington founded.
Coolidge described the pact played
by Washington in the founding of
the American government and de
clared he accomplished the results
"by accepting great responsibilities
and making great sacrifices.”
"If we are to maintain the insti
tqlions which he founded. If we are
lo improve what he created, we must
lie like minded with him. we must
continue to accept responsibilities, we
must continue to make sacrifices,"
the president said. "Under all the
laws of God and man there Is no other
s way."
The address was delivered by the
president In his study in tlie White
House arid was made by invitation of
i he International Rotary clubs, mein
bers of which recently,asked that the
president deliver an address today in
anniversary of the founding of Ro
tarianism.
"Each year the birthday of George
Washington gains wider acceptance
as being of more national signi
ficance.” •Coolidge said. “In far off
lands people are observing this day
by taking thought of the qualities
that gate Washington his foremost
place among the truly great. They
are drawn to this man by his calm
and clear judgment, by his abound
ing courage, and by his unselfish
devotion. Beyond that which was
o\or accorded to any other mortal,
he holds rank as a soldier, statesman,
and a patriot, others may have ex
celled him in some of these qualities,
but no one ever excelled him in this
threefold greatness. Yet Washington,
the man, seems to stand above them
all. We can best estimate him by
not Identifying him with some high
place, but by thinking him as one of
ourselves. When all detailed descrip
tion fails. It is enough to say he was
a great man. He had a supreme en
dowment of character.
Sleadj Growth of Ideals.
%
"No one ran think of America with
out thinking of Washington. When
we look back over the course of his
tory before his day, it seems as
though it had all been a preparation
for him and his time. When we con
sider events since then, we can see
a steady growth and development of
the ideals which he represented and
the institutions which h* founded,
world wide in extent. The principles
vhlch he fought to establish have be
come axioms of civilization. It might
almost he said that the progress
which peoples have made is measured
by the degree with which they have
accepted the great policies which .he
iepresented.
"It is not possible to compress a
great life into a single sentence. We
look upon Washington as the ex
ponent of the rights of man. We
ihink of him as having established
the independence of America. We as
sociate his name with liberty and
freedom. We say that he was a great
influence in the adoption of the con
stitution of the United States. All
these are centered around the prin
ciple of self-government. But when
we examine the meaning of inde
pendence, of constitutional liberty and
of self government, we do not find
that, they are simply rights which so
ciety can bestow upon u*. They are
very complex. They have to be
earned. They have to he paid for.
They arise only from the discharge of
our obligations one to another.
Mu wed Path to Liberty.
"Washington did not, could not.
give anything to his countrymen. His
greatness lies in the fact that he was
successful In calling them to the per
formance of a, higher tffity. He
showed ihem how to have a greater
liberty by earning It. All that any
society can do, all that any govern
ment can do, is to attempt to guar
antee to the individual, the social, eco
nomic and political rewards of his
own effort and industry. The Amer
ica which Washington founded does
not mean we shall have everything
done for us, but that w« shall have
every opportunity te do everything
for ourselves. This Is liberty, but it
is liberty only through the acceptance
of responsibility.
"It cannot fall to be worth while
to recall some of the activities of
Washington and the men of hie day.
. . . Before we complain too
much about our hardships In these
luxurious days, before we lose faith
in the power of the people by rely
ing on themselves to best serve them
Reives, It Is well to consider the earl?
beginnings of this republic.
"Self government does not purge
us of sll our faults, hut there are
\ery few students of the affairs of
mankind who would deny that the
theory upon which onr Institutions
proceed gives the best results that
have ever been given to any people.
When there is a failure, it is not be
• sus the system has failed, hut be
cause We hare failed. Kor the pur
pose of Insuring liberty, for enact
ment of sound leglsclatlon, for I he ad
ministration of even handed Justice,
for Ihe faithful execution of the laws,
no institutions have ever given great
er promise of more worthv perform
anc# than those which are repre
sented by Ihe name of Washington.
People's Support Necessary.
"We have changed our constitution
and laws to meet changing condi
Hon and a heller appreciation of the
broad requlrments of humanity We
have extended and Increased the di
rect power of the voter. But thu
central idea of aelf government re
mains unchanged. While we realise
that freedom and Independence of thu
Individual mean Increased responsl
, blllty for the Individual, while wo
we know that the people do and must
support the government, and that the
government does not and cannot sup
port the people, yet the prose lllon
of the Indivdtual from the power now
represented hv organised numbers end
consolidated wealth require many sc
♦ fvltles on the part of the govern
ment which were not needed In the
days of Washington. Many laws ate
neceseary for thU purpog* both In
the name nf justice anti of humani
ty. Efforts in this direction are
not for ilia purpose of undermin
ing the independence of the1 Individ
uel, but for the purpose of maintain
ing for hi man equal opportunity.
They are made on the theory that
each individual is entiled to live his
own life In his own way. free from
every kind of tyranny and oppres
sion.
final to Re Reached.
"We have not yet reached the goal
of Washington’s ideals. They are not
yet fully understood, lie was a prac
tical man. Tie suffered from no delu
sions He knew that there was no
power to establish a system under
which existence could be supported
without efforts. Those who now ex
pect anything In that direction are
certain to he disappointed. He held
ont no promise of unearned rewards,
cither, in small or large amounts. On
I lie other hand, if no one oughtto re
ceive gain except for service ren
dered, no one ought to he required
to render service except for reason
able compensation. Equality and
justice both require that there should
lie no profiteering and no exploita
tion. Under the constitution of the
United States there is neither any
peasantry or any order of nobility.
Politically, economically and socially,
service and character are to reign,
ami services and character alone.
"Such is the meaning of the life
of George Wahrington, who came
into being nearly 200 years ago. He
left the world stronger and better,
lie made life broader and sweeter.''

Virtues of Washington
Told at Kiwanis Meeting
"George Washington, besides being
the soldier of valor, Is the statesman
of consummate wisdom, whose talents
and virtues will be admired long after
this marble shall have moldered into
dust," Judge Arthur C. Kakeley told
members of the Kiwanis club at Hotel
Rome Friday.
"The future of this great land of
ours depends, not upon what other
notions may say'or do, but upon us,
and If this great experiment of self
government which we have launched
should ever he dwimed to failure, we
shall have to say, as Cassius said to
Brutus: 'The fault, dear Brutus, Is
not In our stars, but !n ourselves
that we are underlings.’ ”

George Washington, Hit by
Bad Crops in 1789, Asked for ’
Loan From Captain in Letter
Bt Associated Tress.
New York. Feb. 22.—Intimate and
warmly human sidelight on the per
sonality of George Washington as a
young man, a soldier, a statesman and
head of a. family are revealed in let
ters written by the "father of his
countryr" now in the possession of
the Plerpont Morgan library which
has been turned over to the public by
J. P. Morgan as a permanent memor
ial to his father.
In a letter written September 23,
1766, to Mrs. George William Fairfax
he said in part:
"I have sent a piece of Irish linen,
d piece of cambrick and a shirt to
measure by. The shirt fits tolerably!
well, yet I would have this made
with somewhat narrow wrist hands;
ruffles larger by one half an Inch and
the collar by thtee quarters of an
Inch, which Is in other respKcls pro

the favor to get thread and buttons
suitable It will oblige me much. 1 have
