Pres. Coolidge
Is Misjudged
It is not often vouchsafcd to a
then to witness the opening of a hu-
man crysalls; to see the transforma-
tion. within the twinkling of an eye.
of e. politician with circumscribed
power into the most exhaultcd posi-
tion in the world. Still less frequent-
ly are we permitted to obseer close-
ly how he was affected by the
change. Such has been my good
fortune in the case of Calvin Cool-
idge. thirtieth President of the I'nit-
ed States. writes William H. Craw-
ford. in Collier'e.
Having )- few days vacation. 1 paid
n visit to Mr. Coolidge in his moun-
tain home in Vermont. 1 was in-
spired to do so for two reasons. I
wanted to eee him in his native habi-
tat. so that I might. get the right
perspective on the man whom the
public regarded as an enigma.‘ My
second reason was because he was
on the list of presidential ao‘sibili-
tlce end therefore worthy of a story
in the series which i am writing for
Collier's. And so it happened that
l 'was at Mr. qulidgo‘s side when
the news came of the sudden death
of President llardlng.
The mouniain homo of tho Cool-
igdee. at Plymouth Notch. \‘t., is
particularly inaccessible. it is lo-
cated twenty miles from "nowhere."
More is how to reach it: I nrriwzd
at Bellows Fells. a pretty little vii-
tho morning. I had to wait three
hours for a train to take me to Ludo
low. twenty miles away. The remain-
ing distance had to be covered by
automobile. Not being acquainted
with tho devious roads. I stopped a
little frocklcd‘faccd. rod-header girl
to inquire the way to the Vice I'rcs-
idcnt's liomc.
“Sum i know when: he lives. lit.-
'is n cousin of mine." she answered
triumphantly. giving a shake to her
auburn curls that made her really
pretty. "Go. down this road about
two miles. then turn to the left. be
tween two stores. and there you are."
The Boy “'as Father to the Men.
Following her directions. I quick.
lv found the ancestral home of the
Coolidges. but was told by the ind-
faced housekeeper that the ’ice
President had gone with his wife to
visit the dentist at \Voonlsiock. i-lcvcn
miles away. I found him there on
the street talking to the villagers.
Both he and Mrs. Coolidge glcctcd
mo kindly. Just then some neigh-
bor came up. addressed th.e Vice
President as "Cal." bowed to Mrs.
Coolidge. and with evident pride
presented his two children. Then. in
true country fashion. this boyhood
friend invited the Coolidge family
over to "spend the day." They ac.
copied. and I am willing to give odds
that. notwithstanding the sudden
change that has taken place in Mr
Coolidgee life and amid all the ex-
citement attendant thereto. he has
not failed to write to his friend can-
cellng the engagement.
There has been much misjudg-
mcnt as to the character of Calvin
Coolidge. due to his taciturnlty. his
cautiouenese of expression, and his
failure to appreciate the ccremonlsls
connected with his position. Cone
ccrning his quietness. the impression
has grown that he islwithout deep
sentiment and has no opiniOns of
has own. Mr. Coolidge has opinions
of his own—hie failure to express
them is entirely due to n highly do
voloped sense of loyalty and a re
specs-Jar delegated authority. Hie
attitude was that Mr. Herding was
elected the executive officer of the
Government and was therefore on
titled to give expression to the at-
titude of his Administration.
So imbued is he with the recogni-
tion of delegated authority that no
power could extract from him an!
criticism of the Administration pol-
icies. If he ed with the Pred-
dent. he was rfectly willing to ex-
press hie satisfaction: if oppoeed. 0'
even lukewarm. to a measure. he
drew ~thoeo compreued lips of his
hightes together.
The Prddent has ee'much soul.
'as much sentiment as most of his.
critics. end an nmnlingly larger in-

The natives ore particularly proud

he trudged "down to the store" sq-
ernl times a day to inquire about
the President's condition. \Vhon
iiskod concerning this. he said:
“'I‘hcy llxlve thei‘ living in make.
and I am doing nothing. not why
should I expect them to neglect their
work in order to keep me posted?"
Stern parental authority. such as

“'0 see. then. as a natural conse-

men little given to usclcse chatter:

tlvo man who carefully observes not
only statutory law. but established
_custom, and a. determined man. gov-
crncd by duty. who will not flinch
from carrying out the policies which
his conscience dictates.
Another character of these moun~
taint-ere is a keen sense of Justice
and a mind unbefogged by selfish
interests and artificial vcnecr. When
Calvin Coolidge walked to the store
to get his messages. it was a natural
impulse no rise to power would have
changed.
His failure to take an active in-
terest in the formation of‘chubli-
can policies has misled some politi-
cians into believing that he will be
under their direction. The politi-
cians will have a genuine surprise.
His position has changed; he was e.
subordinate; now he is chief. The
man who obeys orders well expects
to be obeyed! Providence having
placed authority in his hands. Pres-
ident Coolidge will not hesitate to
use-it. I can assure the politicians
that they will not be long in doubt
as to who is the executive officer
of the Coolidge Administration.'Mr.
Coolidge will dictate his own poli-
cies. He never assumes authority
which do does not have. nor fails
to use authority which does belong
to him. Politicians will find that

pools to control him because of his
party regularity. they are in for a.
sad awakening.
On the other end. it may not be
so sad as they might expect. for his
natural tendencies lie on their side.
Mr. Coolidge is opposed to radical-
ism in. any form. He has inherited
he love of order from the mountains.
He believes that alien radicals should
be deported. 0n the other hand.
Kr. Coolidge is equally opposed to
the idle rich: he believes in the dig-
nity of labor and that the time will
corne when it will be as disgraceful
to be e. rich burn as e-poor one.
Mr. Coolidge is opposed to all class
legislation. According to his views.
there should be one law for all
elem with no class especially fe-
vored. He believee in equal protec-
tion of property rights and of the
people.

Sighed Architecture
The thing that might cause occa-
sional embarrassment to some archi-
iL-(‘lfl who cared to sign their work
\miiLJ be a retrospective look. now
and tlmn. at some of the things they
have designed ln s the past. We
know of a famous American painter
who looks with horror. now that
his reputation is firmly established
on the basis of a fat bank-account.
upon some of the little pot-boilersfif
his youth end days of struggle. o
doubt in the beginning he thou t
his work something beyond the or-
dinary. and as a matter of fact it
was. and some of his cellcctor
friends take pride in possessing one
of his early examples and even say
that they are just as good as his
later works.
But architecture is different: you
cannot hit‘lt‘ the faults of a badly de-
signed and badly planned building.
,nnd if you are the guilty architect
you cannot even forget it. unless the
march of modern progrcn brings
you luck and the old is torn down
to give way to tho new.
There are many compromises in
designing a building. and among
them are those compelled by the
owner's ideas of economy. not to
speak of the owner‘s ideas of "what
he likes."
How many buildings. we wonder.
that adorn our cities or. too often.
div-figure them. else. would the ar-
chitects like to place their names
upon?
We have. at times advocated the
signing of buildings Just as the
painters sign their pictures. so one
might pick the sheep from the goals
as we go about our way over the
country.
There are not Very many build»
logs that stand apart from all their
neighbors as expressive of good and
appropriate design. and most of
these are known. at least to those
interested at all in architecture.
And yet where draw tho'llne, and
who in his wisdom may say with
authority and conviction that this
is altogether bad or that mostly
good?
If you like Gothic. you can see no
virtue in Italian Renaissance. and.
the Lord help you. if you fall for
Queen Anne you will surely scorn

A QUESTION OF PARADES.
(Will Rogers in X. Y. Times)
I have always claimed that Pa
redee should be classed as a Nuis-
ance and participants should be sub-
Ject to a term in prison. They etc
more work. inconvenience more peo-
ple, stop more trafic. cause more
accidents. entail more expense. and
commit and cause I don't remember
the other hundred misdemeanors.
And what good are they? Half of
them going along' you don't know
who they are or what they are for.
Even the people in them hate 'em.
The most popular Joke I heard after
the “'ar in New York when the'boys
were coming back and parading
every day was: ‘1! we really want-
ed to honor our boys. why didn‘t we
let them sit on the reviewing stands
and make the people march those
fifteen miles?" The didn't want to
parade. they wanted to go home and
rest. But they wouldn't discharge
a soldier as long as they could find
a new street in a town that he
hadn't marched down yet.
Of course. keep circus parades. for
they really give enjoyment not only
to the kids but us old ones too. As
a. remedy for this parading I would
suggest that each town set aside
one street. away out. where there is
nothing to interfere and give them
that as parade street; then. when
some fellow or gang wants to try
out a new uniform or honor some-
body. why let them parade up and
down there Just as long as they want
to. If you think parading is popular
Just see how many would go over
there to see it. Parades nowadays
think they are drawing a crowd
when it's only the people trying to
get across the street to their busi-
nee. nos to see you parade at all.
So just set them aside e. street——
that will stop it. The minute n pa-
nder sees that no one is watching
liim he will stop and in that way you
will eliminate all parades.
