COTTON IN DECLINE
ON WEATHER NEWS
Reports of Showers in West Texas
Where Rain Is Needed Have
Bearish Effect.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 3.-The cotton
market opened steady today at de-
cline of l to points on reports Of
improved weather conditions in the
South.
Selling was only moderately active at
the start, but became heavier after
some stop orders were uncovered on the
decline, which extended to 2l.22 for
May and 2O.90 for October, or about
% to 27 points net lower. These prices
seemed to bring in little more buying
and the market steadied up 10 or Is
points from the lowest before the end
of the first hour.
Part of the early selling was attributed
to private reports Of showers in west
Texas, where, in contrast with the
balance of the belt, moisture is said to
be needed
Private cables reported liquidation In
the Liverpool market on fear OF url-
settled labor conditions in Manchester,
with offerings absorbed by trade call
ings at the decline.
The market wac steadied after the
absorption of the early offerings. The
decline evidently brought in a renewal
of trade or commission house demand,
while there was covering and rebuylng
by some of yesterdays sellers VINO
probably saw less rain reported in West
Texas than was expected. The outlook
for further showers may have brought
in some selling, but the market held
steady. and at midday showed rallies
Of about 20 to 25 points from the
lowest, the active months ruling only
2 to 3 points below yesterdays closing
quotations.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 3.-In another
hectic session, prices of the leaders on
the Curb Exchange today moved into
new high ground. The demand, al
though broadening In character, GEN.
tered in issues where there were special
incentives.
The only issues in this market which
could reflect the Interborough 7-cent
fare decision was Brooklyn City Rail-
road. 1t sold up fractionally to its pre-
vious high for the year, but 1t was evil
dent that the decision had been dis
counted.
The new high record for United Gas
and improvement was coincident with
widely circulated rllmors of merger
involving this company. the Public Serv-
ice of New Jersey and possibly Mohawk
and Hudson. Speculative Wall Street
continued to place credence in the
gossip, although officials of the New
Jersey Co. are on record as stating that
it is to remain solely a New Jersey
enterprise. Buffalo, Niagara and East
ern and American States Securities
were others that went into new high
ground.
Newmont Mining went to q new top
in the mining division, and Golden
Centre Mines sold at It's highest in his
tory above IL. The rise In the latter
was accompanied by the announcement
of the election Of George L. Johnson of
the General outdoor Advertising, G. H.
Palmer. jr., and Carl o. Lindberg as
directors.
Trading started for the first tmie In
the l25,000 no par shares of the South
Coast Co, sales occurring between 20
and 20la. The new high record for
Campbell Wyant and Canon Foundries
was direct response to the publication
of first quarter earnings which were
equivalent to $2.08 a share.
Estimates of earnings of more than
$40 share were responsible part for
the recent strength of that stock, al
though its high selling price placed it
out OF reach Of the ordinary investor or
Spectator.

The Silver Thread.
fBoston News Bureau. )

In an appropriate metaphor the Governor of Massachusetts has likened "the strain of deasm that through Hoovers speech" to "a silver thread" Any voter might if he pre- ferred, substitute the metaphorcal adjective
 golden, '-as betokening things of the heart and whatever is precious of fine metal rather than dross or tnsel It is that facet of the Hoover personality, revealed Saturday night value in the campaign
 It this entity-the personal human Hoover, speaking for the first time nationally in his right, for and of himsef-that was revealed at Palo Alto. For the first time he "let go' in exposition of his won desires as well as designs,-one might almost say his dreams -as bearing upon this countrys future as he would lead in shaping it.
 The address is indeed shot through with this thread It sparkled at the very outset, when he cited this as "a Nation of homes, of men, of women Of children and went to declare he would discuss the questions before me in that light" The engineer-economst had been the al-prevail- ing concept of Hoover. He himself notes that the party platform deals mainly with economic problems" But he fuses them all with this other emphasis of spirit.
 He goes on to make the test of Republican stewardship since 1921 'the security comfort and opportunity brought to the average Ameri- can family, with more jobs, more wages more savings, more owned homes, and those homes so much better lighted and stocked with this worlds goods Again, after brief flashes through en0 iHiuule oi the speech, that thread gleamS forth again in the last sections in the glowing stress put upon the priceless values of child hood and Of youth, followed by the emphasis on the emancipation of the individual
 Some other revealing glimpses might be cited including the condor which admits that many or our great national problems cannot be solved
 in day" which admits there are abuses under Voisteadlsm and which admits and deplores in- tolerance But it is this human quality of revelation which has caught the critics so far And soon it may catch the country
 For the conceded strength of Smith has been ms human appeal Here is new foil thereto And 1t shines in the armory of him who as we sometimes remember-was not only en- gineer-eeonomist, but also the great almoner of wartime.

BLOC CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT
 AND JUSTICE.

And speaking of the administration of justice the Constitution makers intended that the United States should be run by sef-consttuted secret societies, those of any bloc, assoca- tion of people meeting in secret coneave or other wise. And least of all it was never the intention that Anti-Saloon Leagues, W. c. T, U. K. K. K other organizations should attempt through intimidation or otherwise to influence the action of the judiciary. The purpose was to keep the courts free even, from the influence of the ex- ecutive and legislative branches of the Govern ment. It intended that Judge should be learned in the law and an upright just and mer- ciful man
 But we have descended a long way from the ideals of the fathers We have private or ganizations threatening all the branches of the Government, including the judicial. We have seen these self-appointed would-be governors in their society meetings and elsewhere, not only attempting to dictate legislation and executive policies through threats and other methods of intimidation, but endeavoring to frighten the courts into doing their bidding, and openly trying to get Judges, who would not take orders, re- moved from the bench They have forced the hands of the appointing powers and have pre- vented confirmation of able lawyers and honor able men after they nominated by the Execu- tive They to exercise the authority of the legislative executive and judicial branches of the government
 However, the day of the ursurpers is about done. The Southern and most of the other States have ditched the K K K and notice has been served on the political preachers The Anti-Saoon League which was able to exercise vast authority through the use of the largest corruption fund place in the hands of a political machine is fading out--it is losing sub scribers to its strong box. The indications are that we shall return to the uncontrolled ballot boxes of the masses, where every man might ex- press his own judgment and conscience as the source of government Not only are the courts getting sick and tired of the threats and strong arm acts of ignorance and prejudice and plain avaricous desire to control but the people are thoroughly indignant and aroused for action We confidently believe that the time is not distant when sane, temperate and merciful government government within the spirit of the Constitution, shall be restored in the land
