Sorrow Comes

There is only one thing that serv As
in the case OF a man OF the Coolidge
type, to give the public better
picture OF him. That, unfortunately.
is sorrow. And Coolidge was to ex.
perience it.
During the summer OF 1924, the
Coolidge boys. John and Calvin Jr.,
came to the White House for a short
stay. One day they were playing
tennis on the White House courts.
Calvin Jr. scraped his ankle. A
blister formed. Septic poisoning set
in, and within a shockingly short
time. he died.
1t was a. severe blow to the Presi-
dent and his wife. Just how severe,
the people never will know. for
President Coolidge never has he.
lieved in parading personal affairs
before the public. He prefers to
swallow them in silence.
Washington was in mourning on
the day the funeral cortege set out
for Vermont. 10 bury the boy. The
President made but one request of
the photographers; that they take no
pictures showing the family about
the grave. He felt that scene too
sacred. and his request was needed
Thereafter the sad face became
sadder than ever. II seemed as
though few more lines had been
carved in it. But otherwise the
President kept his sorrow away

suffering.

ET HERE is no doubt but that
the day when President Cool
III idge delivered his first adj
dress before the joint session of
Congress. was the biggest one in his
life. politically.
The address was very well re-
ceived. 1t was not a fiery address
and did not bring the galleries TO
their feet. nor did il cause any Of
the Senators and Representatives to
do more than nod their heads ap-
provingly. There is one thing about
that first address which staads cut.
That is the Presidents concise.
definite way of putting things.
Outlines Policies
Among the measures he favored
were:
Tax reduction. He said the coun-
try wanted this measure TO have the
right-of-way over all others.
Abolition Of tax-exempt securities.
World Court. but with restrictions.
Prohibition enforcement
Strengthening of the Army and

CALVIN COOLIDGE
First Speech to Congress Started Boom Which Won
Him Republican Nomination for Presidency
Teapot Dome Scandal Breaks.
IF A PRESIDENT

On these ard many other points
Coolidge spoke definitely. There was
no room to doubt where he stood
II was this address, more than any
since. that started the Coolidge boom
which resulted in his nomination in
Cleveland on the first ballot this
year
Coolidge chose William NJ. Butler,
national committeeman from Massa-
chusetts. to manage his pre-conven-
ton fight. And when persons with
in the party. dissatisfied with Butler,
protested, Coolidge refused to listen.
Coolidge had now gathered the
conservative element in. the party
behind him. His next task was to
get the confidence of the farmers.
His effort. apparently, was to put
the burden Of responsibility on the
shoulders Of the farmers themselves,
and his method had evident effect.
Pushes Tax Reduction
Meanwhile Coolidge had an eye on
the budget. He approved the tax
reduction plan Of Secretary Mellon,
and did all he could to help Director
of the Budget Lord.
1t was just about this time in his
work that an unexpected and unfor-
tunate-from a Republican view
point-happening broke.
The great oil scandal now is fairly
familiar to the citizens Of the coun-
try. It is unlikely any President
ever had such a delicate situation
TO face. Coolidge faced it exactly
as he faced every other problem
for long time he kept silent.
With many newspapers calling
/ loudly for the scalps Of Cabinet mem
bers Cor permitting the leasing Of

Coolidge kept mum and Cal the

used TO cal. him. watched and waited.
Coolidge finally was forced to act.
| Two Cabinet members resigned
one probably voluntarily, the other
at the urgent request OF the chief
executive in the interest of party
| harmony.
One cannot say, but 1t Is likely
that Coolidge's action did much o
dull the scandals edge. There is no
question but that oil will be a
| campaign weapon up to the day Of
balloung. but the edge has been
taken off. And the shrewdness Of
the man in the White House Is re-
spOnsible.

Winter Berries
Add Timely Colo,

Many Wisconsin berries are avail
able at Christmas time. These in
clude wintergreen, hemlock, white
cedar, red cedar, partridge berries,
bittersweet, and the red hips OF
wild roses. Holiday wreathes
may be made of combinations OF
white pine. spruce, and wild rose
hips, wintergreen, or bittersweet
berries. A sprig of mistletoe from
the South is usually included in the
decorations which are arranged
over one of the arches or door
ways. Few of us realize that the
hanging of the mistletoe, which to
us is an invitation to mirth, is in
memory of the folk lore of our
Morse ancestors.
