OLD-TIME INAUGURALS.
Van Buren,, First President Born
Under q. S. Rule, Gets Acclaim.

Apropos the 100 per cent American
origin of President Coolidge-the
twenty-ninth man to hold the Office
of Chief Executive-it was recalled
today that the first seven presidents
of the United States were born British
subjects.
The first Executive born under
American rule was Martin Van Buren,,
who took office March 4. 1887, amid un-
precedented acclamation. The crowds
grew so boisterious in their demon
strations for the new "American-born''
President that they nearly mobhed him
when he returned to the White House,
The occasion was about as far re-
moved from a state of royal decorum
