MRS. HARDING
NOT TROUBLED

Washington, March Mrs: War

problem solved for her when she be-
came mistress of the White House
today.
Cooks. chambermaids, laundrywom-
en-, butler and pantrymcn-twenty in
all-are provided by the government
at a cost of $4,000 a year, and there
is a housekeeper who hal been in
charge OF the servants since the adj
ministration Of former President Taft.
Previous to that time a steward was
in charge.
Only the expense of the personal
servants which a new president and
his wife may choose to have accom-
pany them to the White House is
borne by the chief executive. Mrs.
Harding has retained the services Of
Inez McWhorter. her cook, and a
chauffeur, but she found at the White
House four cooks retained by the gov
eminent. n four chauffeurs.
The matter oc supplying the White
House table may no be as simple,
for all food purchased, whether for
the private table or for state func-
tons. must be paid for out Of the
pocket OF the chief executive. Cater
ers to the White House usually are
selected by the housekeeper unless
the first lady of the land' desires to
follow particular preferences which
may previously have been formed.

TEXT OF ADDRESS
BY MARSHALL AS
HE LEAVES OFFICE

Washington, March 4.-Tollowing
is the text of the address of Vice
President Marshall on his retirement
from office:
Very shortly 1 shall have ended
my official life as the constitutional
presiding officer Of this body. That
moment, when it arrives, will not
mark any demotion into the ranks of
the average American citizen, for 1
never arose above them.
Il sprang from the lo:ns of men
who helped to lay the foundation of
the republic. At my birth my father
placed Upon my baby brow the COR
onal of a free born American citizen.
In my youth I was taught that If l
wore it worthily, no prince nor po-
detract from the honor Of that royal
coronal.
Il may have failed but have tried
to keep the faith. have never doubt
ed that, so far as the peoples of civil
government are concerned, the pillars
Of Hercules rest upon the declaration
of independence and the constitution
OF the United States. To my mind
there is no beyond. The forms un-
public are administered may need
changes to meet the changing condi-
tions but the underlying idea is not.
for truth is u%nchanging and eternal.
What was SO when tho morning stars
SANG together will be SO when the
angel of the Apocalypse appears.
II venture to express this much of
that idea: A government dedicated
to the inalienable rights of man to
life, to liberty ana to the pursuit Of
happiness can find its perfect accom-
plishmcnt only in republics brave and
strong enough to rise above the am
billions, passions and p%rejud.ces of in
dividuals and groups. Representative
government was intended to guaran-
tee this ~inalienable right Of men
through the enactment and enforce
ment Of laws calculated to preserve
and promote equal and exact Justice
to all men. Religions die because
priests humble their creeds but have
have nc faith in their gods. Govern
ments go to wreck because their
statesmen shout aloud their shib-
boleths but let a friendly enemy pass
the ford.
IT freely grant the right of this
people to change form Of govern
ment and to adopt other basic prin-
ciples, but. II II. Is to be. done, let It
be done decently. and directly so that
all of us may know T. The old faith

Washington. March 4.-Calvin
Coolidge is the first Massachusetts
man to hold the office Of vice presi-
dent since Henry Wilson served in
tho econ Grant administration
nearly a century ago. His advent into
Office adds to the prominence of his
state in national government affairs,
Tor 1t Is regarded 4s almost certain
that Senator Henry cabot Lodge will

Fred #. Ciillctt as speaker of the
house.
Should Mr.. Gillett succeed himself,
a Massachusetts, man will preside over
each branch Of congress- most. un-
usual coincidence. More unusual still
Is the TACT that both Mr.. Coolidge and
MIR. Gillett come from tho same con-
g~ressional. district, Northampton, tho
home of the vice president being in
the same district as Springfield. the
home of the speaker. Both men arc
graduates Of Amherst college.
Vice President Coolidge. Is enter
ing upon his first service in the field
OF national politics. but for 20 years
he has been active in the political
service of his state. rising from mem
bership in the council of his city to
governor Of the commonwealth.
(. Shuns Spotlight.
In some respects Mr.. Coolidge is Il
figure strange in American pubic
life. being taciturn to a degree and
apparently stunning the spotlight and
the Glamor which usually surrounds
high public officials. To his most in
innate friends he is known as silent
Call 1t is related in illustration of
this characteristic that "A personal and
political friend who had conferred
with him In his executive offices at
Boston without receiving more thar
monosyllables for finally quit
the office in disgust, eAclaimlng as
he came out: by George, I'd like to
be that fellows stenographer."
But after all, holding public office
ONE naturally enough to the new
vice president. For generations. ever
since his forebears settled in Water
town, Mass, in 1880, and later went
to the rough b~ackwoods section Of
Vermont where he was born on indie
day, 1872, his family has
been identified with public affairs.
His father serve in the Vermont state
and on governors staffs,
and for years has been known as a
sort of unofficial magistrate and
in his section. 1t was the
event OF the ather'S life to
witness today the Inauguration Of his
son.
BY intellectual preference Vice
President Coolidge has since early
youth demonstrated a taste for prob
lens of statecraft. AS 4 senior at AM

with students of all
colleges for the best essay

case was 1.-The Principles of the Amer

lean Revolution Burke and other
political leaders Of intellectual dis
tinction nave always beer his favoritcs
and he has studied carefully their
writings.
1t was this intensive study Of affairs
OF state that first attracted to him the
attention OF prominent Republican
leaders, notably the late Senator w.
Murray Crane OF Massachusetts. For
q number Of years these watched the
development Of his career with q view
TO directing him into tho national po-
litiral arena. Their opportunity LII
when tho spectacular Boston police
strike. during his first term as gov
crnor, attracted nationwide attention.
Revealed Courage.
Tho crisis which was precipitated
by the strike. according to these
friends, merely revealed the powers
and courage Of the and they
frankly and openly seized the oppor-
tunity to press for him claims for the
Republican presidential nomination at
Chicago last June. They pointed out
that as councillor in his home city.
and later as city solicitor and mayor.
as a member Of both branches of the
legislature, including a term as presi-
dent OF the senate, and then as lieu
tenant governor, and finally as gov
ernor. he had been elected with ever
increasing majorities, eliminating in
the vote Of confidence after the po-
lice strike, when he was again elected
governor by a plurality of 126,oo0.
Probably the most attractive part
Of Mr.. Coolidge is his home life. Ever
since his marriage is years ago to
Miss Grace Goodhue OF Burlington.
VT, a University of Vermont gradu-
ate whom he met as a school teacher
in Northampton, he has lived Il quiet.
modest life, most of the time in the
shadow OF Smith college in a hous
which he has rented for $3.50 a
month.
Save. no matter what u salary
may be-" has always been his motto:
and, because he has enjoyed beyond
the income earned in public office
only meagre returns from his law
practice because of pressure of public
duties. he has been obliged and con-
tent to live simply. There are two
boys in their early teens. but all do
their bit, even to moving the lawn.
During Mr.. Coolidge's official resi-
dence at Boston ne and Mrs. Coolidge
lived in apartments at a hotel, as they
will do here in Washington. while the
boys nave been away at school,. In
dress, 90. MIR. Coolidge has been not
extravagant. . although always i'm
maculately attired and not given to
use OF the t~hreadbare. whatever the
popular impression TO the contrary
ma be.
His coming to Washington means
the presence of Il man who, his
friends say personifies the best of
american standards. not given much
to social life, perhaps, but a thorough
student, a hard worker, and a clear
headed, solid American.
