Too much prosperity and the misuse of money was blamed for youthful elopement, murders by women and other recent sensations, by Vice President Coolidge, who stopped at Chicago, Ill., for a few hours the other day.
“The people have too much money and use it wrongly,” he said. “Good living never has been so high nor bad living so low as it is today. “The cure, of course, is religion, embodying in conduct the spirit of Christ. But while religion seems weak at present, it will never falter. The American people are too smart to let such a force die out.”
