Stated Simply
Coolidge Beliefs Well Out
lined by Epigrams Rum
ming Through Utterances.

NEW YORK, January OP).-A few
Of the epigrams that studded the public
utteranceS of Calvin Coolidge:
1--WE need faith that Is broad enough
to let the people make their own mis-
takes"
mo great question has ever been de-
cided by the people of this Nation on
the sole basis Of dollars and cents"
when the times have called for
good man. some one has stood forth"
That State is most fortunate in It's
form of government which has the apt
est instrument for the discovery Of
laws"
Men do not make laws: they do but
discover them. Laws must be justified
by something more than the will of the
majority. They must rest on the eternal
foundation of righteousness"
Little progress can be made by
merely attempting to repress what is
evil our great hope lies in developing
what is good"
Il sometimes wish that people would
put a little more emphasis upon the
observance of the law than they do
upon its enforcement"
II am a Republican, but cannot on
that account shield any one because
he is Republican. I am Republican,
Dut cannot on that account prosecute
any one because he Is a Democrat"
Promises and good intentions are not
enough. We cannot afford rash expert
ments"
II am all through looking for ideal
candidates for public Office. They don't
exist. We have to make the best of
what we have, for it is only in that way
that we are able to make any progress"
THE resources of our country are
sufficient If we use them to help each
other"
There is only one form Of political
strategy in which I have any conf
dence, and that is to try to do the right
thing"

people It is a wholesome thing for
them to return to the people. I came

AVERAGE LIFE Span
OF PRESIDENTS So
Death of Coolidge at GO
Gives New Evidence of
Killing Strain.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The life span allotted to Calvin
Coolidge was nine years shorter than
the average of all the American Pres
idents who have gone before him.
His 60 years even fell below the aver
age presidential lifetime for the period
since the Civil War, which has dropped
to SO years and has given rise ire
uuently to the statement that America
in this modern age subjects It's Pres
idents to a strain that kills.
In the slower days Of the Republics
infancy its Chief Executive often lived
to a ripe old age John Adams, who
followed George Washington in the
presidency, lived to be 90. Thomas
jefferson, James Madison and John
Quincy Adams all reached or passed
the 80 mark.
The comparative longevity Of the
early fathers accounts in large part
for the fact that the figure for Amer
ica's Presidents as whole rests at SO
years-just / short of the traditional
'threescore and ten"
Taft Died at 72.
But since the time of Abraham
Lincoln. history shows, only three Pres
idents have attained that age and none
has gone far beyond it. Rutherford
B. HAYES was 10 when he died, Grover
Cleveland IL and William Howard
Taft 70.
Assassins' bullets cut short the lives
of James A. Garfield at 40, Abraham
Lincoln at Sc and William Mckinley
at So. Theodore Roosevelt was 81 when
he died.
Many maladies have risen to take
from the Nation President or former
President in the years since George
Washington, at 81, caught his death of
cold while riding over his Virginia
estate, unmindful Of a storm.
Wilson Victim Of Heart Attack.
Woodrow Wilson, World War Presi-
dent, died of heart disease at the same
age as Washington.
John Quincy Adams died after a
stroke of paralysis. Martin Van Buren
was victim of asthma. william Henry

matte gout; Andrew johnson, paralysis;

To few was it granttd to pass on as
peacefully as the thirtieth President,
Calvin Coolidge, who died of a sudden
heart attack. or Roosevelt, whose Wig
orous life ended quietly while he was

now to say publicly, in your own way
and in your own time, that I am no

office. I do not care to have you quote
me directly, but you will know how to
state it so that it will be accepted as au-
thoritative. I do not think anything

REVEALS COOLIDGE'S
PLAN TO VISIT LATINS
John Barrett, Former Head of Pan.
American Union, Arranging
Trip.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January John Bar
rett, former director general of the Pan
American Union. at Washington, said
tonight that Calvin Coolidge was con-
sidering visit to South America aboard
private yacht Just before he died.
Barrett, who has served as United
States Minister to Argentina. Colombia
and Panama, quoted the former Presi-
dent as expressing the conviction that
the fostering Of American solidar-
ity offered the United States its great
est opportunity and responsibility for
future world leadership.
The subject of South American
trip was discussed between them, Bar
rett said, as recently as last month, dur
ing one of Mr.. Coolidge's visits TO New
York
Since he first suggested the trip,
shortly before Mr.. Coolidge became
President, in 1923, Barrett said, he had
communicated confidentially with sew
eral leading Latin Americans and with
North American yacht owners.
Enthusiastic cooperation was prom
ised on both sides, he said. for trip
that would avoid too much formality
and speechmaking. Mr. Coolidge had
insisted that he bear mis- share Of the
cost Of the trip. Barrett said.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January (NANA)-
1t is my privilege to have had what
probably was the last talk with Calvin
Coolidge on national political topics,
and to have been authorized by him
at that time to make public statement
in my own way that he was no longer
to be considered in connection with the
presidency or any other public Office.
The interview took place at the Van
derbilt Hotel in this city on Wednes-
day, December IA. Mr.. Coolidge had
come to New York to attend the month

How are you?" came back in a voice

We might have a visit this afternoon,

Il don't know of anything that would
help me get well more than a visit
with you," I replied, "and I'm going
down"
IF you feel sure about yourself, all
right" he said, but take no chances.
There's nothing important now. We
can visit some other time"
