I honestly believe that President Coolidge is one of the most popular presidents we have ever had. If he is unpopular with certain poliâ€" ticians, this is more than compenâ€" sated by his popularity with the masses, with the average citizen of Main street, for throughout the y:ar, on special occasions, anniverssries and holidays, such as Easter, Saint Valentine‘s Day, Christmas and New Years, the White House is literally deluged with grecting cards and perâ€" sonal expressions of rreetings pourâ€" ing in from every section of the counâ€" try. This to me seems significant. It certainly does not convey an impresâ€" sion of unpopularity, nor does it inâ€" dicate that people who really count regard the president as "cool and unâ€" approachable." I found him to be As a Man "From the viewpoint of a portrait pa‘iger, just what impression did you form of Coolidge, the man *" urgâ€" ed the interviewer.

"Mr. Christy was seated in his beautiful New York studio where such celebrities as Col. George Harâ€" vey, former Ambassadox to England, Will Hays, czar of the motion picâ€" ture â€" industry, â€" Colonel â€" Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Coleman Du Pont, and others, have sat for portraits. Peside him stood his dazzling wife, the famous "Christy Girl" of a thouâ€" sand magazine covers and illustraâ€" tions. "He is one of the most human men I ever met," replied the artist. "He is really a most interesting conâ€" versationalist. He is â€" extremely thoughtful of others. I could relate a dozen incidents illustrative of his solicitude for others, his humanness and kindness.

The President, reputed to be taciâ€" turn and uncommunicative, has even been described as cool and unapâ€" proachable. That this impression of Mr. Coolidge has gained wide curâ€" rency is indicated by the frequent newspaper refcrences t@ "Silent Cal," and waggish comparisons of the exâ€" ecutive to an iceberg and other obâ€" jects descriptive of frigidity and imâ€" mobility.

They have fought every compromise which the liquor people have offered, ard because they have had experience with every known device to curb or restrain the licensed or legal liquor traffic, they have adopted as their siogan for the year: "Prohibition is the best Method.""

He showed to. a friend his Annapolis speech of two"years ago just after the first typewritten copy was completed. It was the President‘s first utterance upon his policy of peace and preâ€" paredness. President Coolidge, according to Nation‘s Business Magazine, dictates all his speeches, even the most imâ€" portant ones. . When Governor of Massachusetts, he would sit in his chair, throw one leg over the other and write his messages, no matter how long they might be, upon a pad of paper in his lap. He usually had a package of oldâ€"fashioned pepperâ€" mint chocolates in his desk and would munch them as he wrote.

For, after all, the greatest peril to American institutions is not the igâ€" norant immigrant who parades every time there is trouble in Europe but the American with the international complex who thinks American paâ€" triotism is out of date and who draws inspiration from his political alma mater across the seas.
