Despite the cartoonist's not-so-veiled criticism at perceived inconsistency between these twin policies advanced by Coolidge, Cal reminds us that peace and adequate defense go hand-in-hand. One does not undermine the other.

In a real sense, Coolidge made this essential component of America's navy possible when he approved the Cruiser Act. Laid down on 26 September 1931 in Newport News, Virginia, Ranger would be launched two years later and commissioned in 1934. She was returning from patrols in the Caribbean when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The largest carrier in the Atlantic Fleet at that time, she led the amphibious assault on French Morocco in 1942, launching 496 sorties over three days, forcing the enemy to capitulate before Allied pressure. Returning to home coasts, she patrolled the Atlantic seaboard until joined to the British Home Fleet, protecting the approaches to those islands. Taking the offensive to Germany's back door, she waged war in Norwegian waters, successfully targeting convoys, tankers, merchant ships and transports. Winding down her wartime service, Ranger carried planes to Casablanca then personnel to the Pacific and finally brought essential training to both air and sea units operating out of the west coast. Working her way back to the east coast, she retired from the service over a year after the end of the war, October 1946. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/uss-vincennes-ca-44.jpgUSS Vincennes CA-44USS Vincennes (CA-44), laid down by the Bethlehem Shipping Company in Quincy, Massachusetts, 2 January 1934, and launched in 1936, it was the last of the cruisers authorized by President Coolidge under the 1929 Act. Maneuvering with the Neutrality Patrol off the coast of South Africa when she learned Pearl Harbor had been attacked and we were now at war, Vincennes completed her mission and returned to the States to outfit for war. Assigned to the Pacific, working in tandem with sister Astoria, she fought doggedly at Midway. At Guadalcanal, she preempted a counterstrike by the Japanese. Protecting the invasion landings on Savo Island, Vincennes and her sister Astoria and Quincy, prepared for an imminent attack, met one. Spotlighted in the dark by the Japanese, she opened her batteries taking out the light, only to meet a torrent of fire from the enemy before she could escape. Vincennes was hit 57 times until dead in the water, unable to fire back, finally sinking 9 August 1942 at 500 fathoms depth. Officers and crew abandoned ship, watching a great lady leave the surface after a brief but effective record in the Pacific. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/uss-quincy-ca-39.jpgUSS Quincy CA-39USS Quincy (CA-39), was laid down by Bethlehem Shipping Corporation out of her namesake city, 15 November 1933, launching in 1935. Operating in the Atlantic for the next seven years, she finally transferred to the Pacific theater in order to assist with the upcoming Guadalcanal offensive, decimating a Japanese oil depot and other sites vital to their war effort, before being caught during a patrol off Savo Island by a large Japanese fleet early on 9 August 1942. Taking countless hits, her guns disabled, she sank with the loss of 379 men to the ocean floor, the first to descend into what would become known as "Ironbottom Sound." https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/uss-san-francisco-ca-38-e1418255454983.jpgUSS San Francisco CA-38USS San Francisco (CA-38), laid down at Mare Island Navy Yard, Vallejo, California on 9 September 1931, she was launched in March 1933. Beginning her career in the Pacific, she took part in the early tactical exercises called "Fleet Problems" in the 1930s. Anchored for extensive repairs at Pearl Harbor on the morning of December 7, 1941, with all her weaponry dismantled and ammunition in storage, only small arms and two .30 caliber machine guns could be brought to bear against the onslaught of Japanese planes. By 0755 her crew was desperately seeking any means with which to fight back, some even crossing onto the New Orleans, employing her anti-aircraft guns. Rapidly repaired for active service, San Francisco was soon out in search and support missions. Shielding American units in the area, she was contributed heavily to the Guadalcanal offensive alongside sister Minneapolis and two other Coolidge Cruisers, Salt Lake City and Chester. Continuing through operations all the way to Okinawa, San Francisco closed her service in Korea, receiving surrender of Japanese forces there by late August 1945. Retired on the east coast, she was decommissioned early in 1946, having more than compensated for her vulnerability at Pearl Harbor. She is the most decorated of the seventeen Coolidge Cruisers. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/uss-tuscaloosa-ca-37.jpgUSS Tuscaloosa CA-37USS Tuscaloosa (CA-37) laid down on 3 September 1931 in Camden, New Jersey, she was launched in November 1933. Tuscaloosa, with her sister ships San Francisco and Quincy, participated in the January 1939 goodwill tour of Latin America. By August, she was carrying the President to New Brunswick to watch naval exercises there, not the last tour of Central and South America nor with the President aboard. She would go on to encounter German vessels as part of the Neutrality Patrol, operating in the Atlantic in 1939-41. Sent in search of the Bismarck, May 1941, with shanghaied crews from sisters Quincy and Vincennes, she found nothing and returned to Neutrality enforcement until war was officially declared on 11 December 1941. Working together with the British Home Fleet, Tuscaloosa served to screen and supply throughout 1942. Sent to provide withering fire on enemy positions in Morocco's Operation "Torch," Tuscaloosa went on to collaborate with Coolidge Carrier, USS Ranger (CV-4), in the North Sea. Helping to secure the beachhead at Normandy with its relentless 8-inch guns, Tuscaloosa then went to French North Africa, as part of the bombardment of batteries entrenched along the coast. Finally dispatched to the Pacific, Tuscaloosa too part in the move on Iwo Jima and then Okinawa before joining the Seventh Fleet for missions in China, Korea and the Philippines. Deployed until February 1946, she would bring hundreds of personnel home with her before being decommissioned that February. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/uss-minneapolis-ca36.jpguss-minneapolis-ca36USS Minneapolis (CA-36), laid down in 27 June 1931 in Philadelphia, she was launched in 1933. Practicing its gunnery twenty miles from Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked, Minneapolis joined in the patrol for enemy carriers and would later fight at Coral Sea, Midway and, with especial success, at Tassafaronga, sinking two enemy ships. She would fight ferociously at Guam, Leyte Gulf and in the opening operations of Okinawa, sinking ships and downing aircraft more than once. Near the end of her wartime service, Minneapolis received the Japanese surrender of Korea from her deck. Finally decommissioned in 1947 after returning troops back to the United States from the Pacific, she had seen some of the hardest fighting and given much in return to the enemy. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/uss-new-orleans-ca-32.jpgUSS New Orleans CA-32USS New Orleans (CA-32), was laid down in New York Navy Yard on 14 March 1931 and launched on 12 April 1933. She was one of two Coolidge cruisers to be "caught" at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked on the morning of 7 December 1941. After a desperate ten minutes under enemy assault, the entire anti-aircraft battery of New Orleans was in action against Japanese planes. She would survive that day to take part in each of the major offensives of the Pacific, from Coral Sea to Leyte Gulf to Mindoro, ending her career evacuating POWs and bringing them home. Decommissioned in 1947, she had protected carriers, hit her targets, supported landings and ensured ground success at Okinawa.

Coolidge08 Jan 1933, Plymouth, Vermont, USA --- First indication that the grave of Calvin Coolidge would become a shrine for United States patriots, is given by this picture showing mourners who journeyed from the neighboring state of Massachusetts to pray and meditate in the little cemetary at Plymouth, Vermont, nestled in the shadow of Salt Ash Mountain. Here the 30th president is buried beside five generations of Yankee forsears and beside his son, Calvin Jr., who died during the presidential term and whose gravestone is shown in the forground. --- Image by © Bettmann/CORBIShttps://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/funeral-of-president-calvin-coolidge-january-1933-iran-e-bastan-ancient-iran-journal-iran-1933-homa-nasab-for-museumviews.jpgFuneral of President Calvin Coolidge, January 1933, Iran-e Bastan (Ancient Iran Journal), Iran, 1933 - Homa Nasab for MUSEUMVIEWShttps://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/crowds-gathered-for-cc-funeral-edwards-congregational-church-1-7-33.jpgcrowds gathered for cc funeral edwards congregational church 1-7-33Credit: Historic Northampton.https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/funeral-cc.jpgfuneral-cchttps://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/funeralprocession-cc.jpgfuneralprocession-ccThe procession advances into downtown Northampton on its way north to Plymouth Notch.

The wife of Calvin Galusha Coolidge, she lived to see her grandson meet and marry Grace. Of "Aunt Mede" he recalled, "She was a constant reader of the Bible and a devoted member of the church, who daily sought for divine guidance in prayer. I stayed with her at the farm much of the time and she had much to do with shaping the thought of my early years. She had a benign influence over all who came in contact with her. The Puritan severity of her convictions was tempered by the sweetness of a womanly charity. There were none whom she ever knew that had not in some way benefited by her kindness." https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/6193337556_b406f1d78a_b-aunt-wilder.jpg6193337556_b406f1d78a_b Aunt WilderThe President's maternal aunt, Gratia E.

Brown Coolidge, married his father, the Colonel in September 1891. She had been an active participant in the life of Plymouth for many years. Loving him as her own son, Calvin's stepmother would be another great influence for good in his life at a crucial time. Of her he once said, "For thirty years she watched over me and loved me, welcoming me when I went home, writing me often when I was away, and encouraging me in all my efforts." She passed away in 1920 just before his election to the Vice-Presidency. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/6208525854_f01a20f707_b.jpg6208525854_f01a20f707_bThe President's sister, Abigail Gratia Coolidge, three years his junior. Of her Calvin wrote: "The memory of the charm of her presence and her dignified devotion to the right will always abide with me." https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/6208525754_7c2a781c18_b.jpg6208525754_7c2a781c18_bThe President's mother, Victoria Josephine Moor Coolidge. Of her, Calvin once wrote: "Whatever was grand and beautiful in form and color attracted her. It seemed as though the rich green tints of the foliage and the blossoms of the flowers came for her in the springtime, and in the autumn it was for her that the mountain sides were struck with crimson and gold." She died at age 39, when Calvin was 12 years old. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ss_president_coolidge_launching__newport_news_virginia-3.jpgSS_President_Coolidge_Launching__Newport_News_Virginia (3)2016-04-24T15:03:44+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2016/04/14/first-rule-of-naming-presidents-is-never-forget-calvin-coolidge/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/6208011273_f7cca309e4_b-cc-in-swampscott.jpg6208011273_f7cca309e4_b CC in Swampscott2016-04-14T21:19:38+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2016/04/02/on-april-fools/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/12400717_1222456027779658_1879308168421672045_n.jpg12400717_1222456027779658_1879308168421672045_nPresident Coolidge receiving a hat and rain stick as an honorary member of the Hopi association, October 22, 1924.

Unfortunately, the Washington Senators lost their home opener against the Boston Red Sox. Of course, we know the Senators would go on to win the World Series in 1924 after Coolidge became President.

The mystery has been solved, however, thanks to Coolidgean persistence. Just as the Coolidges remained steadfast friends of baseball throughout their lives, they supported it in both its professional and amateur leagues. From throwing out the first pitch in World Series games to watching negro leagues compete on the field to signing balls for charity, the Coolidges were there for it all. Here, the President is signing a ball for the Congressional team, represented by its captains, Republican M. Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania and Democrat Thomas S.

Bascom Slemp to W. D. Johnson of New York, concerning fears about his as well as Coolidge's resolve when it comes to racial conflict. Slemp, loyal to his chief despite having voted against the Dyer bill back in 1922 as a Congressman writes of Coolidge, "he has in one of his messages to Congress referred most sympathetically to this measure, and I have every reason to believe that his attitude will continue friendly and helpful toward it." Indeed, it did. A fascinating chain of correspondence (including this document) can be found at http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage.

Americans, white and black, were not looking for a complete overhaul of society by civil rights legislation in the 1920s. White's requests were simple: (1) Turn the Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee entirely over to "colored" administration; and (2) Support the Dyer bill against lynching. Coolidge fulfilled both requests and more. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/qbrownfp.jpgqbrownfpHallie Quinn Brown of Pennsylvania was a tireless Republican grassroots activist. She helped establish women's clubs in Ohio and directed the effort nationally among black women from 1920-1924. She spoke at the 1924 convention and helped to ensure Coolidge won that November.

Many, including DuBois, perceived him as a dire threat to blacks everywhere. This photograph was taken in the summer of 1924. He would leave his mark on movements around the world, including the Rastafari movement, which considers him a prophet. His second wife, Amy Jacques Garvey, petitioned President Coolidge for his release, which was granted in November 1927 followed by deportation back to Jamaica.https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/dubois.pngWilliam Edward Burghardt DuBois (pronounced Doo-boyz) helped found the NAACP in 1909 and was a seminal influence on what was to be done about race relations in the twentieth century. Coolidge sought to include him in diplomatic work but Dr. DuBois declined to be part of what he considered a rigged political system. He too, underestimated Coolidge's courage and willingness to tackle the tough political questions between blacks and whites.https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/william-h-lewis_court.jpgWilliam H. Lewis, standing, argues a case before a Massachusetts court, 1910s. He had graduated Amherst three years before Coolidge, who wrote his father at the time about Lewis' skill as a football player, saving the college team on more than one occasion. Lewis, a Republican, failed to see why Coolidge would not verbally condemn the Klan in 1924. Lewis failed to appreciate Coolidge's subtle yet more effective approach to the problem.https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/giles-b-jackson.jpgBorn a slave, Giles Beecher Jackson worked his way to freedom, becoming a Richmond attorney and relentless advocate for a Negro Industrial Commission, which (thanks to his efforts) found its way into the Republican platform of 1924. Coolidge endorsed his idea and urged Congress to create it in 1923. Regrettably, Mr. Jackson died without seeing it come to fruition. Coolidge, however, continued to remind Congress, and anyone who asked about it, of the need for such a joint effort.https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/james-w-johnson-c-1920.jpgJames Weldon Johnson, head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Coolidge got in, got out, did the job and accomplished the mission with unwavering courage and straightforward commitment to duty. The enigmatic air of mystery surrounding him, along with his impeccable sense of style, does make him the Bond of Presidents. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/quiet-man-cc-poster.jpgQuiet Man CC PosterRendition from an old favorite John Wayne film.

Notice how everyone is cheerful except the unexpectedly sober figure on the right. Lindbergh, about to appear in a light suit, was corrected by Coolidge who chose a dark suit for him as better befitting the formality of the occasion. Even returning heroes need to take care of the way they dress. They set a deeper example than they may realize, one that should not be treated flippantly.https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/dfc-recipients.jpgHere is a working list of the 55 individuals who were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross during the Coolidge years. While many are not on this list including those who flew operations during this time period but were recognized later and certain civilians to whom the award was granted prior to revision of section 12 of the Air Commerce Act by Coolidge's Executive Order 4601 effective March 1, 1927. As research best confirms the names are in chronological order by date of award, with a second list noting known recipients by year only.https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/benton-dfc-citati.jpgLieutenant John W.

E. DuBois of the Army's Heraldic Section (now called the Institute of Heraldry), who integrated the symbolism of a cross for sacrifice, superimposed with four propellers and completed by five sun rays in each angle of the cross to denote the greatness of the deeds for which bestowed. Finally the red, white and blue drawn from the American flag completes the distinctive yet simple appearance of the medal. Despite criticism of the design by those who did more than most to champion its creation, the rank and file soldier, Marine, sailor and airman always had a strong affection for it. Consequently, despite pressure to alter it, the original design has remained unchanged since its inception eighty-eight years ago.https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/34457v.jpgPresident Coolidge gave the Distinguished Flying Cross certificate for the first time just over a month before the Lindbergh ceremony. Here Major Herbert A. Dargue accepts one of the ten awards bestowed that day, May 2, 1927. Two would be given posthumously in recognition of Captain Clinton Woolsey and Lieutenant John Benton who tragically died from collision with another of the 5 ships to take part in the Pan-American Goodwill Flight, February 26, 1927.https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/pan-am-goodwill-flight-19.jpgThe pilots of the Pan-American Goodwill Flight, 21 December 1926-2 May 1927https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/lindbergh-and-coolidge-1927.jpgLindbergh-and-Coolidge,-1927https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/charles_lindbergh_and_the_spirit_of_saint_louis_crisco_restoration_with_wings.jpgCharles_Lindbergh_and_the_Spirit_of_Saint_Louis_(Crisco_restoration,_with_wings)2015-06-11T20:07:40+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2014/01/23/the-coolidges-in-florida-january-february-1930/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/img_2616.jpgIMG_2616This note corrects the inscription on the handle but beware when taking the tour at the Mount Dora Historical Society Museum: They characterize Cal as too mean and rude to participate in the ceremony.

In this way, the Congress could take no corrective action against his veto and it would force, one or both chambers to rethink the bill and usually drop the matter altogether. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/cc-veto-use-chart-1.pngCC Veto Use Chart 1Here is a breakdown by Congress, looking at the largest proportion of vetoes during the 70th Congress, Coolidge's last. In fact, most of these were in resistance to the habit of granting pensions or other funds to individuals, the kind of crony favoritism - at the expense of the whole people - that Coolidge detested. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/cc-veto-power-chart-3.pngCC Veto Power Chart 3Here is a breakdown of the success rate behind Coolidge use of the veto. Only four were ever overridden by both Houses of Congress, A fifth one survived an attempted override and a sixth was upheld by the Supreme Court in the "Pocket Veto Case" (1929). https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/historic-veto-override-rate-chart-2.pngHistoric Veto Override Rate Chart 2This chart, spanning a period more familiar to us, reveals a glimpse into the makeup of the Congress as well as the determination of the President. It is worthy of note that in years where different Parties control each branch, the overrides increase, whether out of legitimate constitutional checks or mere partisan opposition. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/historic-veto-override-rate-chart-1.pngHistoric Veto Override Rate Chart 1It is fascinating that Grant, so often dismissed as a weak President set the tone for a healthy use of the veto power. It would be Cleveland, whose 584 vetoes in two nonconsecutive terms, would raise the bar to the Presidential "no" on Congressional activity. Coolidge continued this strong tradition, issuing an average .75 vetoes every month in office in contrast to his last three predecessors, Harding (only six vetoes during twenty-eight months in office), Wilson (an average .5 vetoes a month for eight years, totaling forty-four), and Taft (39 in four years). https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/historic-veto-override-rate-chart-3.pngHistoric Veto Override Rate Chart 3It is interesting to note that the Presidential veto was used sparingly in America's early years, a mere 31 times before the first Congressional override which occurred on March 3, 1845, countering President John Tyler's veto of special legislation for revenue cutters and steamers. Not until Pierce and again with Andrew Johnson would Presidents experience the Congressional countermand of veto power, both men undergoing the dubious and unique distinction of seeing more vetoes thrown out than sustained. While Ford came close, no other President has witnessed as consistent an opposition to the veto as Pierce and Johnson did. 2015-04-17T04:10:38+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2015/04/16/no-i-wont-take-it-as-a-gift-2/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/t2ec16ryficbmistbsjysh33hq60_57.jpgImage2015-04-16T22:51:59+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2015/04/15/thoughts-on-tax-day/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/cc-inauguration-speech-1925.jpgCC inauguration speech 19252015-04-15T18:36:20+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2015/04/15/remembering-abbie/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/290.jpgAbigail Gratia Coolidge2015-04-15T17:11:58+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2015/04/11/on-the-criticism-of-character-in-commerce/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/page-2-43-e1428759777352.jpgPage 2-43Courtesy of the National Archives. 2015-04-11T13:43:49+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2015/04/07/for-the-coolidge-collector/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/coolidge-christmas-ornament-2015.jpgCoolidge Christmas Ornament 2015https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/cc-first-pitch-1924.jpgCC first pitch 1924President Coolidge throwing out the first pitch, Griffith Stadium, as the Senators host the Giants, October 1924.

He helped capture the times in which he lived. His rapport with Coolidge is evident not only through his presence at just about every stage of Cal's Presidency but especially at these quiet moments when the Coolidges could have sought absolute seclusion in their grief. Instead, they turned outward to serve others and include friends like the Treadways and Mr. Jones through it all.

When Governor Coolidge spoke to those gathered on these grounds five years before, the men of Holy Cross had already proven to be an expression of patriotic duty, as many of those who would have graduated sooner, were among the first to volunteer for military service. Not only this, however, the young men to whom Coolidge directed his address that summer of 1919 did not all spring from long-established families, but mirrored the rich differences and opportunities America has made possible for everyone. Most of the young men Coolidge addressed were from Irish, Italian, French, Slavic, and even Lithuanian roots. Coolidge, keenly aware of both the College's excellent past and accomplished present, saw America in miniature. This great success was not an anomaly, it was the norm because here freedom and opportunity came not through ancestry or blood but through diligence and perseverance, competence and ability. Having taken up the full burden of citizenship, the young men of Holy Cross demonstrated what it means to know (as Coolidge would express it years later) the "high estate" of American citizenship, "the peer of kings." https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/carlin.jpgcarlinPresident of Holy Cross College, when Governor Coolidge delivered the commencement address to both the graduates of 1919 and underclassmen, James J.

It all ended abruptly, however, when Borglum published his own error-riddled revision of what then-former President Coolidge had written -- without bothering to notify him of his actions. As the press began to mistake what Borglum had written for Coolidge's original prose, Cal suspended any further participation. Since the law passed to form the Rushmore Memorial stipulated only Coolidge's words could be used for the Entablature, the idea was scrapped...almost. It would be years until a contest would recognize the winner of an Entablature essay, featured today on a bronze plaque inside the viewing facility at the foot of the mountain. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/mount-rushmore-before-carvi.jpgMount-rushmore-before-carviMount Rushmore, as it appeared before carving beganhttps://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/rushmore1.jpgrushmore1Work officially began on October 4, 1927.

A thoroughly grassroots movement, the Coolidge-Dawes Lincoln Tour would see 5 million participants in 100,000 automobiles before reaching their final stop on the Pacific. It must have worked since on November 4, Calvin Coolidge decisively beat the combined political support of both his challengers with 15.7 million votes, carrying 35 of 48 states and securing 382 electoral votes out of 266 needed to clinch victory).

It has trespassed upon fields where there should be no trespass. If we could confine our Federal expenditures to the legitimate obligations and functions of the Federal Government a material reduction would be apparent. But far more important than this would be its effect upon the fabric of our constitutional form of government, which tends to be gradually weakened and undermined by this encroachment. The cure for this is not in our hands. It lies with the people. It will come when they realize the necessity of State assumption of State responsibility. It will come when they realize that the laws under which the Federal Government hands out contributions to the States is placing upon them a double burden of taxation - Federal taxation in the first instance to raise the moneys which the Government donates to the States, and State taxation in the second instance to meet the extravagances of State expenditures which are tempted by the Federal donations."https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/if_the_budget_is_too_small_for_the_expenses_cut_down_the_expenses.jpgIf_the_budget_is_too_small_for_the_expenses_cut_down_the_expenses"If the budget is too small for the expenses, cut down the expenses," by "Ding" Darling, Des Moines Register, January 30, 1925.

E. DuBois of the Army's Heraldic Section (now called the Institute of Heraldry), who integrated the symbolism of a cross for sacrifice, superimposed with four propellers and completed by five sun rays in each angle of the cross to denote the greatness of the deeds for which bestowed. Finally the red, white and blue drawn from the American flag completes the distinctive yet simple appearance of the medal. Despite criticism of the design by those who did more than most to champion its creation, the rank and file soldier, Marine, sailor and airman always had a strong affection for it. Consequently, despite pressure to alter it, the original design has remained unchanged since its inception eighty-eight years ago. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/kgrhqfhjbkfhj3rhydvbr0gp8m8tw60_57.jpg$(KGrHqFHJBkFHJ3RhYdvBR0gP8m8tw~~60_57Lindbergh and his mother hosted by the Coolidges at DuPont Circle, where the President and his wife stayed during repairs to the White House roof that spring.

Lindbergh, about to appear in a light suit, was corrected by Coolidge who chose a dark suit for him as better befitting the formality of the occasion. Even returning heroes need to take care of the way they dress. They set a deeper example than they may realize, one that should not be treated flippantly. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/cc-and-koehl-hunefeld-and-fitzmaurice-may-2-1928.jpgCC and Koehl Hunefeld and Fitzmaurice May 2 1928Coolidge also recognized Captain Koehl's co-pilot, Captain James Fitzmaurice of Ireland and Baron von Hunefeld with Flying Crosses for together becoming the first to successfully cross the Atlantic from east to west, proving that in spite of stiffer wind patterns travel could go both ways by air. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/34865v-capt-koehl-awarded-distinguished-flying-cross-may-2-1928.jpg34865v Capt Koehl awarded Distinguished Flying Cross May 2 1928Captain Koehl of Germany being presented with the Distinguished Flying Cross by President Calvin Coolidge, at noon on May 2, 1928. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/34457v.jpg34457vPresident Coolidge gave the Distinguished Flying Cross certificate for the first time just over a month before the Lindbergh ceremony.

Unless those who are elected under the same party designation are willing to assume sufficient responsibility and exhibit sufficient loyalty and coherence, so that they can cooperate with each other in the support of the broad general principles of the party platform, the election is merely a mockery, no decision is made at the polls, and there is no representation of the popular will. Common honesty and good faith with the people who support a party at the polls require that party, when it enters office, to assume the control of that portion of the Government to which it has been elected. Any other course is bad faith and a violation of the party pledges. When the country has bestowed its confidence upon a party by making it a majority in the Congress, it has a right to expect such unity of action as will make the party majority an effective instrument of government" -- March 4, 1925. 2014-06-09T22:48:49+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2014/06/07/thats-a-good-fish-worm/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/president-and-mrs-coolidge-at-the-laying-of-the-cornerstone-of-the-george-washington-masonic-national-memorial-1923.jpgPresident and Mrs. Coolidge at the laying of the cornerstone of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial 1923President and Mrs. Coolidge at the laying of the cornerstone for the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, November 1923. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/breaking-ground-for-hamline-m-e-church-1924.jpgBreaking ground for Hamline M.E.

It was designed by none other than the great Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Concerns over the modesty (or lack thereof) of the design caused quite an uproar for many years. A cloth was manufactured to cover the statue but it soon blew away. Interestingly, Diana now resides with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, given in 1932 by the owners of the old Garden location, New York Life Insurance Company. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/madison-sq-garden-1923.jpgMadison Sq Garden 1923The profile of Stanford White's Madison Square Garden stand against the skyline, beside the Clock Tower (right), in this photograph from 1923.

That element lies in the heart of humanity. Unless the desire for peace be cherished there, unless this fundamental and only natural source of brotherly love be cultivated to its highest degree, all artificial efforts will be in vain. Peace will come when there is realization that only under a reign of law, based on righteousness and supported by the religious conviction of the brotherhood of man, can there be any hope of a complete and satisfying life. Parchment will fail, the sword will fail, it is only the spiritual nature of man that can be triumphant" -- Calvin Coolidge, March 4, 1925. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/gerhardt-book.jpgGerhardt bookhttps://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/felzenberg-book.jpgFelzenberg bookhttps://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/recarving_rushmore_180x270.pngrecarving_rushmore_180x270https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/politically-incorrect-guide-to-the-presidents-cover.jpgPolitically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents Coverhttps://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/robertmerry.jpgrobertmerry2014-03-31T21:41:09+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2014/03/29/the-coolidges-at-white-pine-camp-adirondacks-new-york-summer-1926/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/3armnu0uq6mhwoky.jpg3armnu0uq6mhwokyThe Coolidges at Gabriels Station.

He kept peacocks and other gay-colored fowl and had a yard and garden filled with scarlet flowers. But he never cared to hunt or fish. He found great amusement in practical jokes and could entice a man into a nest of bees and make him think he went there of his own accord...In his mind, the only real, respectable way to get a living was from tilling the soil." https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/jccoolidgesr.jpgColonel John CoolidgeThe father of the Presidenthttps://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/john-and-grandson-001.jpgGrandfather Coolidge John and his grandson, Christopher Coolidge Jeter, leaving the 4th of July celebrations at Plymouth Notch, 1972.

On that occasion, he declared, "The Administration, through Secretary Hoover, has from the beginning insisted that no monopoly should be allowed to arise, and that, to prevent it, the control of the channels through the ether should remain as much in the hands of the Government, and therefore of the people, as the control of navigation upon the waters; that while we retain the fundamental rights in the hands of the people to the control of these channels we should maintain the widest degree of freedom in their use." This, above all other principles, was why Coolidge signed the 1927 Act, as it limited monopolization without delving into a regulation of content and censorship. In fact, it specifically prohibited self-appointed censors from holding any legal authority under the Act (sections 18-19). 2014-02-26T00:29:23+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2014/01/16/wagon-ride-to-the-game-lodge-south-dakota-1927/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/stategamelodge.jpgStateGameLodgeTheir destination, the Game Lodge, Custer State Park in the Black Hills of South Dakota. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sd-001.jpgsd 001President and First Lady back aboard the lumber wagon after it got stuck along the trail en route to the Game Lodge.

Many, including DuBois, perceived him as a dire threat to blacks everywhere. This photograph was taken in the summer of 1924. He would leave his mark on movements around the world, including the Rastafari movement, which considers him a prophet. His second wife, Amy Jacques Garvey, petitioned President Coolidge for his release, which was granted in November 1927 followed by deportation back to Jamaica. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/dubois.pngduboisWilliam Edward Burghardt DuBois (pronounced Doo-boyz) helped found the NAACP in 1909 and was a seminal influence on what was to be done about race relations in the twentieth century. Coolidge sought to include him in diplomatic work but Dr. DuBois declined to be part of what he considered a rigged political system. He too, underestimated Coolidge's courage and willingness to tackle the tough political questions between blacks and whites. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/giles-b-jackson.jpgGiles B. JacksonBorn a slave, Giles Beecher Jackson worked his way to freedom, becoming a Richmond attorney and relentless advocate for a Negro Industrial Commission, which (thanks to his efforts) found its way into the Republican platform of 1924. Coolidge endorsed his idea and urged Congress to create it in 1923. Regrettably, Mr. Jackson died without seeing it come to fruition. Coolidge, however, continued to remind Congress, and anyone who asked about it, of the need for such a joint effort. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/william-h-lewis_court.jpgwilliam h lewis_courtWilliam H. Lewis, standing, argues a case before a Massachusetts court, 1910s. He had graduated Amherst three years before Coolidge, who wrote his father at the time about Lewis' skill as a football player, saving the college team on more than one occasion. Lewis, a Republican, failed to see why Coolidge would not verbally condemn the Klan in 1924. Lewis failed to appreciate Coolidge's subtle yet more effective approach to the problem. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/asa-philip-randolph.jpgAsa Philip RandolphAsa Philip Randolph of the preeminent news source, The Messenger, would go on to lead the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in 1925.

Coolidge would help deliver the decline and demise of the Klan's membership and influence in the coming years. https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/dr-roberts-newspaper.jpgDr Roberts NewspaperAugust 16, 1924 edition of The New York Age.

The "White House spokesman" was a rhetorical device employed by the press corps when referring to a position of the White House. Coolidge never authorized its use and, in fact, detested it, especially as it became an obvious reference to the President himself.

Securing 54% of the popular and 382 electoral votes to 136 (for Democrat Davis) and 13 (for Progressive La Follette), Coolidge shattered the conventional wisdom that he was both "unelectable" beyond Massachusetts and incapable of prevailing in a three-way race nationally. No one has ever done that before or since without throwing the election into the House (1824) or losing to the Democrat opponent (1912, 1992). https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1924_presidential_election_map.png1924_Presidential_Election_MapElectoral Map of 1924 by County, the color-coding is reversed with Coolidge in blue, Davis in red and La Follette in green. 2014-01-12T17:49:44+00:00monthlyhttps://salientcal.com/2014/01/09/on-unemployment-benefits/https://salientcal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/joseph-e-burgess-copy-of-ercole-cartotto-original.jpgJoseph E.
