DARKNESS WITHOUT STARS

The White House today is the ren' dczyous of sorrow, The frail body of Calvin Coolidge, Jr.. son of the .fresi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge, has been broken on the wheel of fate, and his soul has passed into that eternity which bcckons to us ali.
 The nation shares the heartache and the grief of the devoted couple to whom thus has come the first dull blow of family bereavement.
 Young Coolidge went to death from joyous play. The slight injury he snf- fered at tennis is Of frequent occur renee and rarely alarming; but when sinister infection developed, the weak constitution of this cheerful lad proved incapable of throwing off the attack and its subtle complications.
 Just comparatively few years ago the parents. beaming with pleasure and pride, leaned over the crib of this youngster and implanted paternal kisses. Today they wend their leaden ways to the bier of their offspring and cannot be comforted.

HE HAPPENED TO BE WHITE

Convicted of murdering five persons and sentenced to the death chair on three occasions, E. D. Bigham, or Manning, S. C., has been granted rev lease of life until the October term of court. At that time more technicalities will be invoked and Bigham may again cheat the electric chair.
 This South Carolina case, dating from March. 1921, has broken all records for longevity in criminal pro- cedure. One would think that man convicted of killing five persons would have little chance to squirm from un- der the heel of outraged and revenge full justice.
 Bigham was convicted of staying his mother, his sister, his sisters adopted son, and the brother of the latter; and was held responsible for the death Of his brother.
 Four bodies were found strewn in the house and on the premises or their home; and on the following day the body of L. S. Bigham, brother of the accused, was found clutching a pistol. It was believed possible that the latter committed suicide.
 The state charged as a motive for the crime an attempt to come into ossession of valuable property. New evidence" which Bigham's attorneys claim they have found, is said to con- sist of letters written by the dead Rieham to the effect he intended to slsy his entire family and take his own life. This new evidence has brought about an order for new trial.
 Bigham is white man. South Caro- lima had s4 lynchings from 1900 to 1922, mostly of black men who were not accused of killing five persons Had Bighams skin been black the number of lynchings would have been 65.

rnNNECIICIT FARMERS.

Members of the State Board Of Az riculture which held its annual meet inp ast week, must have learned with surprise that they are criticized for not doing something tangible to halt inc decline in farming in Connecticut
 It is pointed out to the honorable body that ten years ago there were 2s,oOO farmers in Connecticut, where- as today there are only 22,OoO tillers of the soil. The board is credited with sending out market reports and that is about all. According to the critics, the board has done absolutely nothing to revive interest in agriculture in the state.
 From this it appears that the board is expected to exercise some controi over agricultural economic conditions which must be largely 10 blame for decrease of 4,O00 farmers in the state the last decade. Somebody ought to show how it can control economies and thus provide bed of roses Tor the farmers and induce healthy in- crease in their number. So far the boards critics have not done this.
 The decline in farming is not con- fined to Connecticut. Whereas in the west a rush to the cities has been brought about by bankruptcy on the farm" thousands of former land own CTS abandoning their properties when a mountain of debt due 10 deflation of land values piled upon them and the income for farm produce was below

LESS USE FOR COTTON

Everyone knows that the cotton spinning industry is in slump; not only has this great industry been af- fectcd in New England, which has been specializing in the manufacture of the better class of cotton goods, but the south, where the more commoner grades of goods are manufactured likewise has felt the pinch of bad business in the cotton industry.
 H. G. Gardner & Co.,, of New York, has made a careful analysis of condi- tions and come to the conclusion that a radical change in the habits of the country is to blame for conditions.
 In the first place, it is stated. Amer ica has grown too rich. It is no longer fashionable to wear cotton goods among large classes of the population. Millions are wearing from S5 to 50 per cent less cotton; other millions, especially among the fair sex, are wearing silk or material that looks like silk but contains no cot ton. .T.
 Secondly, a change in women's fashions has struck the cotton spin ming industry body blow. Petticoats are vastly fewer: many women, it ap- pears, no longer wear them. Short skirts and short sleeves have done their part.
 A third reason Is the substitution of other material, which is partly cover ed in the other two reasons given. But the substitution become more serious when other fabrics besides those used in clothes are considered. Sugar and cement bags are now being made of jute; many automobile tire fabrics are being made of hemp instead of cot ton; in many offices, restaurants and other public places, paper towels are being used instead of cotton towels. Restaurants patronized by the ma- iority of the population no longer utilize cotton table cloths, but have marble slabs instead; and even the serviettes are made of paper. Table mats have replaced table cloths in many households.
 All okthis came about as a result of the Nigh price of the finished product for several years. People were driven into using cotton substitutes all along the line, and today they are con- tinung the habit. How to bring back the normal consumption of cotton is one of the problems before the cotton | industry.
 Cotton goods are said to have piled up in southern mills to an extent rep resenting 1,ooo,0o0 bales of raw cot ton, forming a gut in the market This is the more astonishing when it is con. sidered that the south experienced three short crops in three successive seasons The crop this year, however is expected. to be large. government estimates being that it will reach nearly 13, ,o0o, 900 bales. In all proba' bility the price of raw cotton will gc lower, which will greatly please cot ton goods manufacturers and enable them to produce the finished prodyc at lower prices, thus meeting the de- mands of the trade and doing some thing substantial to reduce the cos of living next year.
