CALVIN COOLIDGE Simplicity of Structure and Clearness of Meaning -Mark His Speeches and Writings—Answer to Gompers Brought Fame, THE BIOGRAPHY OF A PRESIDENT
SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS Calvin Coolldce. thirtieth President of the United States, was born on Ju'y 4. 1872. in Plymouth. Vt. Coolidge attended Amherst and graduated with honors. He married, in 1005. Grace Goodhue, a teacher. After passing the bar examinations he .entered politics and has held many offices. While Governor he helped settle the Boston police strike. He became Vice President in 1020 and President in 1923, on death of President Harding. CHAPTER XII Nr* — 7] EARLY every president leaves behind him a trail of words L_ of wisdom, little gems of truth that weld themselves into our national consciousness. President Calvin Coolidge is no exception . He has always, since his graduating year from Amherst College, in 1895, %een a speaker of ability. His voice is not compelling. It is of a rather high, nasal sound. But his words ring true and hold the listener. In that sense, Calvin Coolidge is an orator of the highest type. “There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, any time.” When, as Governor of Massachusetts, he wrote those words to Samuel Gompers. he definitely put himself before the American people. Hits From Shoulder Coolidge’s messages to Congress have been splendid documents. They are not as polished, as perfect, as those of Woodrow Wilson, in the j opinion of many, but they hit from the shoulder and they are never open to misinterpretation. In speeches at various times, he has given expression to some pithy phrases and ideas, some of which have almost become American epigrams. “The people want a government of common sense," he said recently. Just before his re-election as Governor and after the Boston police strike, he said: “The conduct of public affairs is not a game. Responsible office does not go to the crafty.

are not founded upon association for public plunder, but on the cooperation of men wherein each is seeking to do his duty." Speaking of the Teapot Dome scandal once, he said: “I wsyit no hue and cry, no mingling of Innocent and guilty in unthinking condemnation, no confusion of mere questions of law wl.h questions of fraud and corruption. It is at such a time that the quality of our citizenry is tested.” At other times he said: “Industry, thrift, character are not conferred by act or resolve.” “Men do not make laws. They d° not discover them. Laws must be justified by something more than the will of the majority. They must rest on the eternal foundation of righteousness.” “That State is most fortunate in its form of government which has the aptest instruments for the discovery of laws.” “Courts are eestablished, not to determine the popularity of a cause, but to adjudicate and enforce rights.” Os all the Coolidge messages there is one which, in the opinion of many, stands out for its simplicity of expression, but at the same time its unwavering firmness. Midnight Message j That is the so-called "midnight [ message” on the Teapot Dome leases. "It is not for the President to deI termine criminal guilt or render judgment in several causes. That is the function of the courts. It is not for him to prejudge. I shall do neither. But when facts are revealed to me that require action for the purpose of Insuring the enforcement of either civil or criminal liability, such action will he taken. That is the province of the executive. “Acting nuder my direction, the Department of Justice has been observing the course of the evidence which has been revealed at the hearings conducted by the senatorial committee investigating certain oil leases made on naval reserves, which, I believe, warrants action for the purpose of enforcing the law and protecting the rights of the public. This is confirmed by reports made to me from the committee. If there has been any crime, it must he prosecuted. If there has been any property of the United States illegally transferred or leased, it must be recovered^ “Every law will be enforced, and every right of the people and the Government will be protected.” What will the future of Coolidge be. no one can tell at this time. Circumstances might force him to greater heights of fame. One thing is certain, after carefully reviewing his career, people have believed that even.' upward step he has taken would be his last one. They could not see his capabilities, because he hid them beneath a grim exterior of silence. He seems willing enough, patient enough, to allow the future to take care of itself. (The End)

Million Dollars in Showmanship
A r ~~~ MILLION dollars of showmanship. That’s what Paul Whiteman is selling this season in the line of jazz music. Whiteman gave two concerts at the Murat Sunday under direction of Ona B. Talbot. I understand that he stood 'em up in the afternoon, and at night the house was nearly capacity. My remarks will be confined to the night concert, as that is the only one I could attend. I am not one who pulls my hair and raves because the people buy jazz music" (popular music) in large quantities. Music is music, many brands of it. The more music an individual can absorb the better off he will be. Paul Whiteman talks to his audiences in a common tongue. He has ele#ated jazz music to the realm of the concert stage. He does this by using expert musicians and soloists: he goes in for new jazz musical expressions: he takes classical movements and forces them into jazz tempo and, above all, he uses showmanship. Showmanship. That’s the thing I like best In Whiteman’s concerts. He knows how to make the lights keep In tune' with the “color” of his melody. That is well represented by the way Whiteman directed and presented “Emeralda,’) an Irish fantasy, which presented Morton Downey as a vocal soloist. Downey sang a sweet Irish refrain, which caused the audience to stage the first big ovation of the evening. When the solo starts, the stage is in complete darkness, with the exception of a spotlight playing above the singer. As the beauty of the song Increases, so does the spotlight. The effect is magic. Whiteman knows how to “dress up” a number as no other director does. The Hits I enjoyed the Irish number the best and the other Downey solo number, “June Night,” done as an encore. The audience took Michael Pingatore to heart because of his banjo playing. He is a wonder. All of the solo work of Ross Gorman, a wizard on the saxophone and kin dred instruments, resulted in a storm of approval. I relished the four different arrangements of the late Victor Herbert's “Serenades.” Rare beauty was found here. The popular tunes, “Llmehouse Blues.” “What'll I Do,” “Wonderful One,” "Linger Awhile,” “Bagdad,” "Tell Me, Dreamy Eyes" and others scored In the regular Whiteman way. *v J Again we mw Whiteman's genius

La Follette launched his campaign crusade in the West today with a prediction to grain growers the present 'advancing prices will not mean their salvation. He promised permanent constructive and progressive farm aid if elected. “My information is that the recent small advance in prices for farm products has been of jittle benefit to, the farmer,” La Follette said. “The bankers who held the farmers’ mortgages, have reaped the benefit. The increase in prices has not done more than pay the interest, much less the principal. “The farmers are still carrying the burden of the debt which they incurred during the last four years. They have not forgotten the treatment theA have received from the Harding-Coolldge Administration.” ..Upon his arrival here this morn-

You have sudden sick headaches, dizzy spells: your stomach is acid from sour bjle, your skin turns sallow, botchy. Doctors know' the liver cannot be regulated by drugs, but a safe Nature substance has been discovered which will act directly on the liver.
