WIFE BLAMED
IN DEATHS

A Coroner's jury last night de-
cided that Clement o. Pierce
went to his death through the
action of his wife, Tilly, who
"wilfully turned on several gas
jets in the kitchen" of their
Queens Chapel Road home.
The couple was found asphyxi-
ated last Thursday by a grand
son. Mrs. Pierce, SO, was clad
in only her nightclothes and was
seated by the kitchen stove from
which gas was flowing. The hus-
band, SO, was overcome in bed in
an adjoining room.
The inquest, which also re-
suited in a verdict of suicide in
Mrs. Pierce's death, was held in
the office of Magistrate John A.
Downing in Hyattsville. Funeral
services for the couple were held
Saturday and they were buried
in Glenwood Cemetery. They are
survived by eight children and
several grandchildren.

$4,000 INVITED
To INAUGURAL

Contributors to the campaign
fund will have first choice of seats
for the inaugural of Franklin D,
Roosevelt as President of the
United States on March 4. There
are $4,000, and each is receiving
a special invitation.
More than twice as many per-
sons as witnessed the Hoover in
auguration are expected here
when the Democrats assume the
reins. Grandstands to accommo-
date 10000 persons are already
planned. and more will probably
be built. Prices of tickets, ac-
cording to Daniel E. Roper, will be
lower than four years ago, when
they sold from 50 to 81.
Mrs. John Allen Dougherty has
established headquarters for the
Inaugural Ball Committee, on the
ground floor of the building at
Seventeenth and I Sts. N. W., and
plans for the event are progress
ing rapidly.

was almost ashamed to give any
public manifestation of them.
He returned to the White House
and brooded deeply over the loss
of the boy in which he had set
so much store, but still with no
outward sign.
It was at breakfast one morn
ing, about two days after the re.
turn from the funeral, that Dr..
Coupal became alarmed over this
almost obstinate refusal to give
way to normal emotions. He said
quietly:
"Mr. President, don't keep all
that grief pent up in your
heart. 1t isn't good for you"
Mr.. Coolidge looked at his
doctor-friend for an instant, then
suddenly bent his head on Coupars
shoulder and wept convulSively
for perhaps 80 seconds.
Then the tears passed-like a
sun shower-but they had had
their effect.
In a subsequently published
autobiography, Mr.. Coolidge vir-
tually challenged the unjustness
of a fate that took his boy from
him. Yet death had still another
blow in sore for him before he was
to leave the White House.
One winter day word was re-
ceived that his father, Col. John
c. Coolidge, was dying. A special
train was hastily assembled and
the dash to the Vermont bedside
was begun. 1t was started too
late. The old man passed on in
the night while the President was
still speeding northward.

Next day, in driving mountain

an earlier summer day was re-
enacted at the Plymouth burying
grounds as the aged nestor of the

had not left the hospital in
many hours. In mutual silence
they waited for the final word
Of despair.
Col. James F. Coupal and Capt.
Joel T. Boone, the White House
physicians, worked feverishly, but
against the inevitable. All Of
their medical skill was llnavail-
ing against the toxic poison that
was racing through young Cal
WINS body.
At last the spark Of life was
extinguiShed. DR.. Coupal, his
body wracked with sobs, walked
slowly into the room where the
parents waited.
There was no scene. The
father and mother received the
news with Spartan-like stoicism.
Their grief was locked in their
hearts. Tears welled up in Mrs.
Coolidge's eyes but only the
physician wept audibly. She and
the President undertook to COM
fort him, rather than he them.
BrOOded Over Loss
With the same lack of out
ward display of the heart-rending
sorrow that was theirs, they took
the lad back to the little cross
roads cemetery at Plymouth, VT,
and buried him. Mrs. Coolidge
stood by the grave with her veil
flung back and her eyes focused
on the skies in silent prayer as
the casket was lowered. On
either side of her stood the Pres
ident and John, their elder son,
almost like craven images.

It was a Sunday morning. The
date was July Z, 1924. Doctors
and nurses hurried silently in
and out of a room at Walter
Reed Hospital.
A 16-year-old boy lay dying.
His father, expressionless, paced
nervously. Occasionally, he would
stop at the side of the bed and
run his hand through the lads
hair m a gentle, but futile ges-
ture. The mother looked on with
deep anguish in her fearless eyes.
The boy was Calvin Coolidge,

A COW IS MORE PROFITABLE THAN A STILL

Judge Wilson Warlick argued in his court in
Morganton last week that milking good Jersey
cow is more profitable than tending a still. We
are very frank to admit that the figures given by
His Honor were revelation to US. For long
time we had imagined that manufacturing hooch
was very profitable enterprise and any arguments
to the contrary coming from less authoritative
source would have been hooted at by US. But after
reading what the judge has to say upon the sub
ject we are convinced that the dairy industry
should have many new converts before the winter
snow flies and looking after still becomes still
more uncomfortable. These are Judge Warlick's
words:
"a good Jersey COW will give between three and
four gallons of milk day, if she is properly fed
Milk sells for 40 cents a gallon and liquor brings
only $3.50 or whereabouts. Nothing has decreased
in price much liquor. If anyone expects to
make living out of the manufacture and sale OF
liquor, he will soon find that court fines and Jail
sentences eat up all the profits. good cow can
produce in day about the same amount made for
which gallon of liquor might be sold, and milking
cows is a perfectly legal and honorable business"

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
RUSSIA NO LONGER BUGABoo

Several wears ago the Russians got in some very
fine work in this country in spreading the fear that
Russia was destined, in the near future, to dump
unlimited quantities of wheat into the world mar
kets-therebv making it impossible for us to pro-
duce that grain profitaby.
Russia has been "in the red," in more senses
than one ever since it was taken over by the So
viets. Nobody has any hard feelings toward the
Russian people: on the contrary there is every
reason for Americans to welcome them into the
family of nations. But those who imagine that
trade with Russia can have any material effect on
the prosperity of this country are destined TO DC
sadly disappointed.
The Russians are sadly disappointed with them
selves and what they have accomplished; why
should the rest of the world take them at any high
err valuation? We all wish that Rushia could de-
velop big market for American products-but it
can't be. We all wish that Russia had the money
to pay for our products in large volume-but they
haven't. We all wish they had products OF their
own which they could exchange with us on basis
that would be mutually benefeiaEbut they
haven't.
The articles which the Russians have to offer US
are mainly the same type of things which we pro-
duce. If we should open up our markets to those
products, we would simply destroy our uoiheo''|
market for our own products to the same extent
If We wish to play the role of Santa Claus and
give the Russians nice fat slice of our markets,
Just as matter of goodwill they will not drive
US off the map a century or two from now, 1t
might be good 'world-politics' the Germans used
to call it. But it would seem as if we had had ali
ample sufficency of this sort of thing after giving
the Old World nations many billions of our good
dollars which they will never give back.
Any way you look at it, Russia has ceased to be
scarecrow to induce farmers to go out of
the wheat business. Reports from Russia indicate
that the harvests there again disappointing. 1t
has taken generations for American farmers to
learn how to handle machinery, repair it and keep
it going. This is something that is beyond the Rus
slams for many years to come.
The Russians are children in many senses-hav-
ing the simple, lovabe and enthusiastic qualities
of children, along with their lack of ability and
experience to tackle the everyday problems of life
in an age of machinery and advanced scientific
methods The Russians can't even feed themselves;
then why should be suppose that they can produce
a surplus to exchange with us-unless it is in
way which is bound to be altogether to their own
advantage The Pathfinder.

WHAT PRICE PERSONAL LIBERTY?

In the current issue of the Saturday Evening
Post there is an article, "The New Prohibition"
by Will Payne, that is worthy of perusal. Here's
an extract:
eve cannot finally have an imperative, auto
cratic economic plan along with a free, loose,
Democratic political plan. They will not work to-
gether In the new zest for state planning, great
many people have been highly impatient with con-
gress; they wanted it to pass the bills, hand au-
thority over to the President and shut up. 1t is
rather fashionable now to say that we must get
rid of congress. But we have only to glance abroad
in order to convince ourselves-n we needed con-
vincing-that when representative government
goes, free speech and free press go with it. That
has happened everywhere, not only in this decade
but in the other decades. If government becomes
a fx-it-all economically, it win also become fix
it-all in the political field.

economic plans puts obstinate political opponents

WHAT ABOUT THIS?

1t is shocking to learn that Canada has a deficit
of $150,00O,000 for the present fiscal year. And
Canada receives revenue from trade in liquor wine
and beer. ... ..... ....
Judging from the statements made by "wets' in
South Carolina and at Washington the only thing
needed to balance governmental budgets is to
legalize the sale of liquor and beer and collect the
taxes Canada must have slipped somewhere. Per
haps some of financial vets" can tell her
where the trouble is. But then all of Americas
beer tax is theory and not fact. And Canada found
that debts had to be paid in fact and not in theory

if the good hotels" could be
built besides those already in
Asheville, to hold them. l sug-
gest that the Fleetwood-safe
above the flood to overwhellm
Hendersonville-be completed by
Mr.. McReynolds G. Co. for the
purpose.
Then maybe it is horse-raclng.
Kentucky is on the way from
Chicago, and Mr.. McReynolds
might get his fill there on the
way down, as he runs down for
his weekend in Asheville.
Perhaps it is an opportunity to
enjoy intellectual, moral, and
spiritual uplift and to participate
in conferences. The editor might
have informed Mr.. McReynolds
about Montreal, and Junaluska,
and Ridgecrest and the annual
summer-long assemblies, with
their glories of talent, their mag
nificent programs, their splendid
presentation of discussions of
every theme in heaven and earth.
Maybe it is good eating. Well
Mr.. McReynolds can get that
now, if he does not like the Bat
terry Park, or any boarding house
in Hendersonville or Brevard,
raised from the rich gardens of
our valley; but if he destroys our
valley, he would have to import
it. unless indeed his tastes runs
to the frog's-legs from the "huge
lake" after the valley has gone
glimmering.
One hardly dares to suggest
that it may be stimulating drink
ing. A "huge lake" might sup
ply that, but the beverage would
be somewhat muddy from the
French Broad bottoms, and then
one doubts if that is the sort de-
manded. But if liquor is what
the "dissatisfied customers" are
after, they might get that too in
Chicago before they start; tank
up enough to need the pure
water, climate, and air here to
get them over it in time to re-
sumo their mighty financial la
bors in the Windy City when
they get home again; and then
Asheville's reputation for its
"morning after, medicine" would
more than compensate for its
disadvantage with Chicago as an
original source Of liquor refresh
ment.

upon the colossal egoism, the APP
palling selfishness. the cold
blooded hoggishness implied in
the inference that's for the sake
of giving Mr.. McReynolds his
