COOLIDGE RETIRES
Less than six years ago Calvin Coolidge, famed originally
as governor of Massachusetts, became president of the United
States as the oath of office was administered by n country
notary public, his father, in a Vermont farmhouse. To
: morrow this quiet,' cautious little man seizes his last full
i day in that high office and on Monday turns the duties of
thief executive over to another.
" " A few of his most intimate associates had followed Cool
idge's rise from member of the Northampton, Mass., city
council to governor of his state with the hope and belief
that he would some day bo president Circumstances made
the realization of that hope possible. First he secured nn-lion-wide
fame when credited with the stern measures used
in handling the Host on police strike. Next his friends were
able, to capitalize that fame and secure his nomination for
vice president when the republican convention of 1920 sought
n ve-getting eastern runniiigmate for Warren G. Haifling.
None of the party leadei-s considered the chance of Hard
ing's death. Coolidge served them as a temporary expedient
and preparations were under way during the Alaskan trip
of the president in 1923 to pick a more suitable vice presi
dential candidate to go on the Harding ticket for a second
term. The Coolidge who was to be shelved, the Coolidge who
. was considei'ed a nonentity became president when death
overcame Harding on that hot August night six years ago.
Reticense, timidity, caution were Coolidge characteristics
that a strength-loving nation interpreted in terms of quiet
jwwer. "Silent Cal" served both as a name and as a retreat
nhile he became accustomed to his new responsibilities and
surrounded himself with those men who were to make his ad
ministration successful men experienced Inith in politics
and in government.
A fortunate post-war readjustment left federal finnnces
in such shape that a tax reduction program was possible
and proper. Grasping the opportunity, Coolidge propounded
an economy program, was declared "safe," and gained enough
popular favor to assume the leadership of his party and win
i-e-election by an overwhelming majority in spite of his veto
of the soldiers' bonus bill, the exposure of the Harding oil
scandals and the opposition of LaFollette's third party.
Coolidge has Jeen a good presidentthough obviously far
from a great one. Regardless of the fact that he had a
purely political background and lacked most of tho qualities
considered essential to a chief executive, Coolidge fitted the
need of the times. With the tremendous advantage of cab
inet advisors like Mellon and Hoover and Hughes he led a
afe, sano and conservative way through tho reconstruction
jwriod that has followed the war. Although he has hot in
spired the enthusiasm of his fellow citizens and has failed
to fire their imaginations with spectacular or truly great
leadership, he has probably provided that which the nation
.rcti-ti musi Qiiring ine ist six years quiet, unassuming i
...... ..-Mi.iaoie administration of tho affairs of government.
Coolidge has not pretended to do more and is probably
content to have his years as president marked onlv by the
simple program of economy and tax reduction. Considering
the controversy over farm relief, prohibition, government's
i.iicy towaro business, etc., and the scores of demands made
on his administration for a wide varietv of legislative relief I
failure of accomplishment may constitute something of a!
tribute as well as fault. Disappointed the nation has!
been i at times in Calvin Coolidge, it can nevertheless 1h grate-i
ful for his service and rememlver that the administration'
coming to a close in no small way responsible for the con-l
fidence and eagerness with which we await that which is1
10 tx-gin on .Monday.
