Calvin Coolidge: “The chief ideal of the American people is idealism.”

Nothing special took place at the Cabinet this morning.

Mrs. James E. Golladay, widow of Mr. Golladay, who served in the Interior Department for twenty-eight years preceding his death, may be appointed to an appropriate clerical position without reference to the civil service rules.

No employee entitled to military preference in appointment shall be discharged or dropped or reduced in rank or salary if his record is good.

This order is recommended by the Treasury Department and the Civil Service Commission.
