NEW YORK, March 8.-Calvin
L " Coolidge, author, opened his
mind and heart TO the American
people for the first time today
and revealed that he found
tragedy instead of glory in the
White House.
In an article published by the
Cosmopolitan magazine today,
Coolidge mentions the death of
his son, Calvin, and the passing
OF the Presidents father as two
severe burdens he was called upon
to bear while directing a nations
destiny.
Il do not know why such a price
was exacted for occupying the
White House" he wrote.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-03-08

The article, entitled "On Enter
ing and Leaving the Presidency"

politan.
In stark, straightforward
style. which is sparing with adj
iectives, the former President dis
eusSes the period from the time
he was sworn in as chief executive
by the light of a New England
lamp to the end of Harding's
term.
MY own participation in the
IV1 campaign of 1924 was de-
layed by the death of my son.
Calvin. which occurred on the
seventh Of July" Coolidge wrote.

glory of the presidency went with
him.
THE ways of providence are
often beyond our understanding.
1t seemed to me that the world
had need of the work that it was
probable he could do"
Then Coolidge tells how his
father lay dying in the Vermont
homestead while the pressure OF
presidential duties made it impos-
sibIe for him TO go to his bedside.
1T costs a lot to be President. "
he wrote.
