II President Coolidge is perturbed by
the encircling anxieties Of the moment
his. debut before Congress and the
fight for nomination-he conceals his
emotions masterfully. He IS as calm as
ever and as blithe as "a man of his
temperament can be. The trials and
tribpiations Of political contest are
no novelty to Northampton's silent son.
Although It is Calvin Coolidges glory
that he has never been defeated for
office. none of the many he has filled,
unless one excerpts the presidency, ever
came to him by default. johnson and
the rest win find Mr.. Coolidge no tyro
at the game. He has come up from

His friends assert there is no card
that can be played which will find
Coolidge unready to take the trick.

Coolidge Inherited Harding policies
but not Harding animosities. That ex-
plains why within the past few days the
President has entertained at the White
House two Ohio republican leaders who
boycotted Washington during the
Harding regime. One is William Cooper
Proctor. Cincinnati soap magnate and
angel" Of the Leonard Wood campaign
In 1920; the other Bob" Wolfe, mil
lionaire Columbus newspaper owner.
Mr.. Coolidge's overtures to Messrs.
Proctor and Wolfe are frankly for the
purpose or closing up factional ranks
IN Ohio republicapism. Mr.. Wolfe for
years has been Attorney General
q rob
the Wolfe influence that mainly was
responsible for Daugherty's defeat for
election as delegate large to the
republican national convention which
nominated Harding. Although Daugh-
erty is member of the Coolidge ad-
n1inistration nd advocates the Presl-
dents no.! Ion in 1924, there Is no
reason to Subject that Wolfe, who is a
power, viii on that account oppose the
Coolidge ambitions.

In this cOnneCl1OT- recalling iHe
early history of portrait painting in
this country, it is interesting to note
that, according to records, Gilbert
Stuart's success in London was evil
denced by the fact that in two years
the price of his portraits increased
from to 80 guineas, approximately SIS
to s15e. They now bring many thou
sands: in fact. the purchase price or ms
portrait of Washington. bought by the
late Fl. c. Frick. was $4,000.
S. F. B. Morse is said to have found
small demand for his paintings when
he first returned to the United States.
and went from city to city trying TO

most successful In Charleston. where
he painted fitty-three, portraits In
five months-and many OF them we're
excellent works.
Chester Harding's grandfather was
outraged at the amount that ne was
charging for his paintings, and. &C

ceived that two paintings by Sargent:
one portrait of MARY, Wife of
