COOLIDGE CALM
AS THRONES
CHEER
Enthusiastically Moved Despite
Efforts to Maintain His
lmperturbiIity

The central figure in all the
pomp and circumstance of the day
seemed to be almost stoical in his
appreciation of the Inaugural
ceremonies, but he wasn't.
The canny twinkle in his light
blue eyes and the highly conserva-
tive smile that trimmed his lips were
mere masks to hide a swelling tide
of internal emotion as Calvin Cool
idge rode between lanes of cheer
ing people on Pennsylvania avenue
as he swore upon his grandmother
Bible to discharge the duties OF MS
high office faithfully, and as ne
read his brief address in the Cap
itol plaza.
From the hour that his limousine
rolled out of the White House gates
at IL o'clock this morning until the
last Of the marchers passed IN re-
view before him, the President was
deeply and Enthusiastically moved
despite all his efforts to maintain
his characteristic imperturbility.
ThrOngs Defy Edict.
1t was his will that his Inaugural
ton be a simple and unostentatious
one, but no Presidential edict could
have prevented the thronging OF
scores of thousands Of Americans %

the President saw-perhaps realized
fore the first time-what Inaugural

also to the nation at large.
He saw the great wide boulevard

from all points of the country to
catch glimpse Of him on inaugu-

the home folks about it.
At his side was Mrs. Coolidge and
Senator Charles Curtis, Of Kansas

Inaugural Address

since our national consciousness
first asserted itself by unmiStak
able action with an array of force.
The old sentiment OF detached
and dependent colonies disap-
peared in the new sentiment of
a united and independent nation.
Men began to discard the mar
row confines of a local charter
for the broader opportunities of
a national constitution. Under
the eternal urge of freedom we
became an Independent, nation.
Freedom ReasSerted.
A little less than fifty years
later that freedom and independ-
ence were reasserted in the face
of all the world, and guarded,
supported, and secured by the
Monroe doctrine. The narrow
fringe of States along the Atlantic
seaboard advanced it's frontiers
across the hills and plains Of an
intervening continent until it
the Pacific. We made freedom q
birthright. We extended our do
main over distant islands in or
and accepted the consequent obli-
cation to bestow justice and lib
erty upon less favored peoples.
In the defense of our own ideals
and in the general cause of lib
erty we entered the great war.
When victory had been fully
secured we withdrew to our own
shores unrecOmpensed save IN the
consciousness Of duty done.
Throughout all these experiences
we have enlarged our freedom, we
have strengthened our independ-
ence. We have been, and propose
to be, more and more American.
We believe that we can best serve
our country and most successfully
discharge our obligations to hui
mainly by continuing to be open
ly and candidly, intensely and
scrupulously, American. If we
have an heritage, it has been that.
II we have any destiny, we have
found it in that direction.
Must Not Be Narrowed.
But II we wish to continue to
be dIstinctively American we must
continue to make that term COM
prehensiVe enough to embrace the
legitimate desires of a civilized
and enlightened people determined
in all their relations to pursue Il
conscientious and religious life.
We cannot permit ourselves to be
narrowed and dWarfed by slogans
and phrases. 1t is not the al
jective, but the substantive, which

of the happy Inaugural Day,
President Calvin Coolidge and
Vice President Charles Gates

indicted into office.

Every activity in the city,
somehow, was centered upon the
two men who today were to be

Above the clatter Of hoofs, the
rattle of sabers, and the heavy
trundling of artillery came the
orderly thud of marching. men and
the brazen voices of the bands.
The crowds which lined Pennsyl-

party a lusty cheer as 1t passed
along. There were more shouts
and hand-clapping for the lines OF
troops that swung along behind.
AS the hour for the parade drew
near, the Avenue was thoroughly
packed. Automobiles flying the
familiar police" sign and motor
cycle couriers sped up and down.
1t was shortly after 1 o'clock
when the curbstone watchers along
the Avenue heard the dim music
Of a band.
Greeted By Cheers
In moment, an automobile
cleared the Peace Monument and
moved at a dignified rate of speed
along the broad thoroughfare. This
car was followed by others.
A wave Of cheering swept up the
Avenue, from the Peace Monument,
growing steadily in volume. Hats,
flags and hands were waved. to
greet the President, now returning
from the Capitol.
There was another brief wait
and the first division Of the parade
came into view. Music blared
forth again. More messengers
dashed in motorcycles toward the
White House. The police urged
back tho crowds once more.
Governors Brilliant Show
The horses Of the cavalrymen
tossed their heads proudly, and
mincingly picked their way. Sabers,
carbines and other military trap

a brilliant and imposing show.
The President had by this time
arrived at the White House. where,
after brief interIude for refresh
ments, he took his place in the
glass-enclosed reviewing stand.
Parade Representative.
The parade. although Of compare
lively small proportions, was as
representative. as the most ardent
parade enthusiast might have
wished.
Many of those who stood along
the Avenue had been there for
hours. having previously seen the
President and his party go to the
Capitol from the White House.
This first trip started a few
minutes before II o'clock and con-
sumed about sixteen minutes.

Then, referring in the same
indirect manner to La Fol-
