COOL IDGE
OATH I'm
DOUBT
Webster e. Miller, Prominent
Vermont Lawyer, Questions
Its Legality.
BY CHARLES O. POWER.

by CHARLES u. FUW EN-
Written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE minds
Of hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie would be relieved if Calvin
Coolidge would follow the time
honored custom and be sworn in as
President of the United States by
the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court.
Many good lawyers doubt the
advisability and the legality Of his
holding the office by virtue of a
ceremony performed by his father,
q Vermont notary public.
Fear Flaw In Title.
While not wishing to detract in the
slightest degree from the honor.
without parallel in history, which
came to President Coolidge and his
father, business men, financiers,
statesmen, labor leaders and lawyers
are fearful of the consequences
should the future develop a flaw In
his title.
Admitting the fine sentiment
which is attached to the now-famous
ceremony in the Coolidge homestead.
in the lamp-lit hours Of August 3,
stitutional oath of office to his son,
there are many who insist that there
is a safer sentiment for the country
in having the new President sworn
in by the former President and now
chief Of the highest court.
Laying sentiment to one side,
there is a grave doubt Of the lawful
authority of a Vermont notary to
administer the oath to the President
OF the United States. There is not
the shadow of doubt of the power OF
q chief justice to do SO.
Elevated to the Presidency
through the death Of their chiefs,
Chester A. Arthur and Theodore
Roosevelt deemed it the part of
wisdom to be sworn in by q justice
OF the Supreme Court, although they
had previously subscribed to the oath
before officials of minor capacity.
They refused to take chance. Why
should the. hitherto cautious Cool
idge?
Lawyer Doubts Validity.
One of the best lawyers in Yer
mont, retained by the Boston Ameri-
can to search the statutes and study
the legal right OF notary public to
swear in a President, says there is
q very nice AuSSl1OL OI QOuDL In mis-
mind and If he had been called upon
to advise under the circumstances,
he would have said that, in his
opinion, a Vermont notary ia not
properly empowered to perform the
ceremony.
Rehearsing the Vermont State law
and Federal statutes bearing upon
the case, Attorney Webster E. Mil
Ter. of Montpelier, gives his view
point in this manner:

Custard Pie Favorite

llttS. LAMIRA GOODHUE,

Better than anything else,
President Coolidge likes custard
pie, and Anthony Giasofei makes
it for him. Anthony is chef at
the Willard Hotel, temporary
"White House" of the Coolidges.
Anthony has named it "Cool-
idge Custard," and the Presi-
dent says it's the best he ever
tasted. Here is how it is made:
"Whip five eggs with six
tablespoonfuls of sugar. Flavor
with vanilla or lemon, and add
one pint of hot milk. Mix
thoroughly and strain. Bake
crust in pie plate filled with
beans. Pour in custard and
bake until it grows thick"
