Famous artist Depicts Coolidge
As 'cHun'Gn, Kindly, ThoughJuI'

Toward Chandler Christy, inter-
fisstiJnally famous artist, illustrator,
gnd portrait painter, disagrees with
those who picture President Cool
idge as "the grim, silent man Of the
White House"
The President, reputed to be
taciturn and uncommunicative, has
even been described as cool and un-
approachable. That this impression
of Mr.. Coolidge has gained wide
currency is indicated by the frequent
newspaper references to "Silent
CAL" and waggish comparisons of
the executive to an iceberg and
other objects descriptive of frigidity
end immobility.
eff the impression prevails that
President Coolidge is cold, unap-
proachable, silent and lacking in
human qualities" declares Mr..
Christy, who was guest at the
White House for several weeks
while painting a portrait Of the
President and Mrs. Coolidge, "then
I should say that the President is
an excellent actor"
Mr.. Christy was seated in his
beautiful New York studio where
such celebrities as Col. George Har-
vey, former Ambassador to Eng
land, Will Hays, Gar of Che Mo-
ton picture industry, Colon ell
F, Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Cole
man Du Pont, and others, have sat
for portraits. Beside him stood his
dazzling wife, the famous "Christy
Girl" Of thousand magazine covers
aid illustrations.
\ "From the viewpoint of portrait
painter, just what impression did
you form Of Coolidge, the man?"
urged the interviewer.
"He is one of the most human
men l ever met" replied the artist.
i'He is really n1lst interesting con-
versationalist. He is extremely
thoughtful IF others. / could relate
a dozen incidents illustrative of his
isoli2itude for others, his humanness
and kindness. Being very human
himself, he likes to make human
contacts.

unanproachable to- politicians who
come bearing gifts in one hand and
axes which they want to grind in
tho other, but he is an entirely diff
sfcrcns man when with his family

 man of the state commerce commts-
 sion.
 The whole question. he declared, is whether the senate shall. acting as court, decide arbitrarily and with out hearing to set aside both the constitutional rights of a duly elect ed senator and of a sovereign state.
 Col. Smith holds two sets of cre- dentiaIs to the senate, but he made the point that those involved at this time are not predicated upon elec- ton but are by virtue of the con- stitutional authority vested in the governor of a sovereign state" He said that precedentS of 140 years affirm his right to a seat under the circumstances and he recalled that as early as the constitutional con- Ivention, over which George Wash .ington presided, proposal to pass on

JUDGE WHEELER PAYS TRIBUTE LaudS Life and Career Of Former
 Associate

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 14 Pt- Arnold Robinson, who died yester- day at his home In Middletown at the age of S6 years, is designated as "a just judge, through citizen and noble minded and noble heart ed man" in tribute today by Chief Justice George ". Wheeler.
 Justice Wheeler said in part:
 ,"s'rss Gov. Morgan G. Bulkeley did many notable services for the state of Connecticut but I venture 10 say that no public action of his was of greater benefit to the state and its people than his appointment to the superior court bench of Sam uel C. Prentice, John M. Thayer and silas A. Robinson ''*s.
 Judge Robinson was gentleman on the bench and off the bench, kindly in act and thought, never eff fusive nor given to expression which had not behind 1t the sincere thought and feeling of a true man. He did not love pomp or show, he lespised littleness and insincerlty In the great things of life, truth, justice, faith, charity and love he had an abiding conviction and he lived in their service. He tried many noted cases and his memorandum of opinion as a trial judge Of ten won the praise of lawyers and judges. One of these, Shepaug Vot- ing trust cases, was a case tried by Judge Robinson at the beginning Of his service and was so excellent and upon so exceedingly difficult a sub feet that the supreme court ordered 1t printed In volume 50 of the Con- recticut reports s'*"s.
 His few months upon the su- preme court were sufficient to indi- cate his qualifications for that bench, "h**s We are all debtors 10 his public service; 10 me in addl- ton came the priceless privilege of his friendship"

 Col Smiths acceptance here of the governors appointment came three weeks after he was notified of the designation, during which time he has been warned from with out and counseled from within his party not to attempt to complete the short term. Col. Smith said he felt however, that further delay was un- warranted and unfair to the people .of Illinois.

Gus consequences Of a past displacement
of energies and contemplate folly; and
y0ung persons, who possess so little clear
ness in their views, so little distinctness
in their perceptions, and so much incIin-
ed to prefer the suggestions of a warm
fancy to the sober deductions Of reason,
are perpetually liable, in their pursuit OF
the spectacular, to take up with false

eraI intentions respecting the end, to de-
feat their own purpose by the applica-
ton Of means, so that they are prone to
eff, not so much through the seduction
Of their senses as by accommodating false
maXims into a sort OF system, on which
they afterwaTd act through life. Short
cuts to power and success are ever held
up before the gaze OF the unsOphlsticated
and are sought after with a ftverish in
dustry worthy of a more cOmmendab.a
pursuit; and this faIIacy is abeJted by .
current philosophy, which purp0rts to
achieve the sane ends by methods as subtle
and as alluring, and consequently smart
ness, rather than honesty; craft and cir.
convention, rather than frankness; sps-
piciOn and distrust rather than panatra-
ton are likely to be the mainsprings Of
action; and those of US who have to sit
in hallowed places of instructors of tie
young must give full regard and coua-
tenance to sthese important truths. No
social worker can gracefully ignore the
process Of moral births; and doubtless a
good understanding cannot be more fully
exercised, nor can the effect of mental
cultivation be better shown, than in
bringing aid Of sound judgement, AMI
