There is some difference OF opinion
as to whether Warren G. Harding is
the 2Sth, 29th or seth president OF
the United States.
Harding is the 2Sth individual to
sit in the presidential chair. How
ever, Grover Cleveland was twice
president, with an interval Of four
years between his TENS. For presi-
Dental purposes, therefore, most
statisticians regard him in this con-

Counting Harding, there have been
80 times that the oath of president
has been administered. including
presidents who have been elected to
second terms and vice presidents who
succeeded the men elected to the
Office On this basis, therefore.
Harding would be the 39th president.

AMERICAN CONSTITUTION
REVEALS RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN MAN AND MAN
Declares Calvin Coolidge in His
Vice Presidential Inaugural
Address to Senate

WASHINGTON, March 4. Omitted
Press. THE text of Vice-president
|CoOlidge's inaugural address follows:
vealed to the people of this nation
a new relationship between man and
man, which they declared and pro-
claimed in the American constitution.
Therein they recognized a legisla-
ture empowered to express the will
quired to determine and state such
law, and an executive charged with
securing obedience to the law, all
holding their Office not by reason of
some superior force but through the
duly determined conscience of their
countrymen.
House Originates Taxation
To the house. close to the heart Of
the nation, renewing it's whole men,
bership by frequent elections, repre-
senting directly the people, rejecting
their common purpose, has been
granted a full measure of the power
Of legislation and exclusive authority
to originate taxation. To the senate,
renewing it's membership by degrees,
representing in part the sovereign
states, has been granted not only a
full measure of the power of legis-
iation, but If possible, far more i'm
portant functions. To 1t is entrust-
ed the duty of review, that to nego-
tiation there may be added ratifica-
ton and to appointment approval.
Buy its greatest function Of all, too
little mentioned and too little under
stood, whether exercised in legisla-
ting or reviewing. is the preservation
of liberty. Not merely the rights Of
the majority, they little need pro-
lection, but the rights Of the minor
ity, from whatever source they may
be assailed. The great object for
us to seek here, for the constitution
identifies the vice-presidency with
the senate. is to continue to make
this chamber, as it was intended by
the fathers, the citadel of liberty. An
enormous power is here conferred,
capable of much good or Ill, open it
may be to abuse, but necessary, Who'll
ly and absolutely necessary, to in
sure the required result.
Senate Uses Discretion.
Whatever it's faults, whatever it's
human imperfections. there is no leg
islative body in all history that has
used its powers with more wisdom
and discretion, more uniformly, ex-
ecution of the public will, or more in
harmony with the spirit of the au-
thority of the people which has cre-
ated 1t, than the United States SEN
ate. take up the duties the people
have assigned me under the consti-
tuition, which we can neither enlarge,
nor diminish, of presiding over this
senate, agreeable to its rules and
regulations. deeply conscious that 1t
will continue to function in harmony
with the its high traditions as
great deliberative body, without pas
sion and without fear, unmoved by
clamor, but most sensitive to the
right, the stronghold of government
according to law, that the vision OF
past generations may be more and
more the realty of generations yet to
come.
