i dens on the Chief Executive*
This is the third time in 133 years'
that the United States has no exj
president. The other two periods oc-1
| curied in Grant's and in Roosevelt's;
! terms.
Washington died in December, 1788,.
j or more than a year before John
J Adams retired u* president. Always
'since then, until that sudden faiaiity
at Northampton, there has been one
or more ex-presidents.
! The largest number of living ex;
presidents was live - Van Rureil, 1 y*
Mir. Pierce. Fillmore and Ruehanan-vI
wl'.en Lincoln was president.
| Lives of our modern presidents are
i far shorter than that of tire earliest
| ones.
The average age at which the first
j ten Washington, Adams, Madison,
I Monroe, John Q. Adams, Jackson, Van
j Ruren, Harrison ami Tyler?died was
| 78 years.
Washington, <>7, youngest, and John
Adams, 1H),. oldest.
Their combined ages offers a startling
contrast with that of the last 11
presidents.
The average age of these was only
!>.'{ years, or l?r> less than that of the
first 10.
No other public or private position
in the world places so heavy a physical
and mental burden upon a man as
does that of president of the United
States.
. As the nation grows greater, new
responsibilities are piled upon the man
in the White House.
( alvin (oolidge had the serene temperament.

would normally underwrite for about
mi \ears.
The harrowing care of the presidency
pu's actuarial calcinations clean
out of focus.
Kxrepting in the ease of Lincoln.
Garfield and McKinley, who were assassinated.
the most dramatic death
of any president was that of J. Q.
Adams.
The "Old Man Eloquent" was long
a congressman after he had been in
the White House and he was mortally
stricken while upon the floor of the
house.
General Harrison's death came
swiftly to that old Indian campaigner,
only a month after he became
president.
Grant's pathetic death had also a
romantic tinge. He was literai^
writing his "Memoirs" upon his death
bed?the final page almost exactly
with his last breath.
Riding for miles over his Mount
Vernon plantation in a bleak December
storm of sleet he was dead
^aTceTy" a day later as the result of
-What popularly would be called pneumonia.
Garfield was only U> when stricken
down by Guiteau's spiteful bullet.
Monroe, n soldier of the Revolution,
came nearest to actual poverty after
he had boon president, although only
Grant's stubborn zeal in writing while J
dying of cancer created a goodly estate
for his family.
Jackson's privations as a little boy
exceeded even those of Lincoln, but
he passed away in peaceful comfort
at the "Hermitage."
Hoover, Roosevelt and Washington
were our wealthiest presidents.
Taft as chief justice and the younger
Adams as congressman were the
only ones who held high public office
after leaving the presidential chair.
After Mailison's death the Nation
purchased for $30,000, what are known
as the "Madison Papers." embracing
his invaluable personal account of the

Grant capitalized their literary abilities.
Roosevelt received $100,000 for one
book and Coolidge as much far a ser!

Coolidge's Intentions
Never To Run Again
I
New York, Jan. 7.?A determine- J
tion "never again to hold public of- 1
fice" because "we are in a new era j
to which I do not belong," wau ex- j
pressed by Calvin Coolidge, less than j
a month before he died, to Henry L.
Stoddard, journalist.
In telling of a conversation he had
with the former president at a New
Ynik hotel on December 1-1, Stoddard,
waiting in the Sun, quote* Mr. Coolidge
as saying:
"When I read of the new fangled
things that are now so popular, I realize
th.it my time in public affairs is
past." i
Commenting on the election, the
former president said:
"The Democrats probably will set!
asido the Hoover measures and try
some of their own. That only means j
experimenting with legislation. The j
big thing this country stands most
in need of just now is economy. Un- i
less congress can bring down expen-1
diturcs drastically, all other meas- j
ures will not count for much. Prob- j
ably the people will have to find a
way out themselves."
Commenting on President Hoover,
he said:
"A president on his way out is
never given much consideration.
That's politics. ... I made up
my mind not to embarrass President
Hoover by comments on his policies
one way or the other, and I have
never made any."
Of his own future, he said:
"Great changes can come in four
years. These socialistic notions of i
government are not of my day. When
I was in office, tax reduction, lebt j
reduction, tariff stability and econ- |
omy were the things to which I gave j
attention. We succeeded on those1
lines.
"It has always seemed* to me that j
common sense is the real .solvent for
the nation's problems at all times?common
sense and hard work.
"When I read of the new fangled
things that arc now so popular I
realize that my time in public affairs
is past. I wouldn't know how
to handle them if I were called upon
to do so.
"That is why I am through with
public life forever. I shall never
again hold public office. I shall always
do my part to help elect Republican
candidates, for I am a party
man, but in no other way shall I have
anything to do with political matters.
"I hear talk of nominating me for I
president in 1936. That cannot be. I
There is no way I can decline some- j
thing not yet offered, but I am em- J
barrassedr by the discussion of my
name. I cannot answer letters or
give interviews, but I want to sfopj
it before it gets too far. I author- ;
izo you to say publicly, in your own !
way and in your own time, that I
am no longer to he considered fori
any public office. . .
"I do not think anything should be j
sa;d until after the holidays; people;
will not be paying much attention to j
politics the next few weeks.
"We are in a new era to which I |
do not belong, and it would not be *
possible for me to adjust myself to it.
"These'new ideas call for new men
to develop them. That task is not
for men who believe in the only kind
of government I know anything about."
When asked by Stoddard if
it would not be impossible for him to
resist a demand for his election as
president in 1936, Mr. Coolidge said:
"It was not in 1928, and it will not
be again. I am through with public
life. You cannot state it too positively.
Nothing would induce me to
take office again."

feurlH In The Fire
A strange story comes from Japan
which tells of the incineration of 700,000
pearls. But this is not a story
to suggest a certain blaze which induced
a Roman emperor to fiddle
while his city burned. The Roman
incident has been handed dpjyn to posterity
as an example of wanton destruction
while that in Japan may be
termed one of good business.
To Japan goes the credit for the
discovery that a piece of shell or
sand inserted in the shell of an oyster
will force the occupant to protect
itself from the irritation the foreign
substance causes by encasing it
in layers of pearl, When the work
is finished and the oyster thinks it
has done a good job and is completely
at ease, the divers come along, hoist
the bivalve to the deck of a boat
where it is killed and the pearl is
prepared for milady's necklace, car
rings <iv other jewelry.
It so happens that all oysters do
not do good jobs and the result is
that many imperfect pearls are harvested.
They tend to depress the
market prices and that is what caused
the aforesaid burning. The leading
Japanese dealer decided to destroy the
imperfect gems and as a result of his
act the market value of pearls jumped
up 30 per cent. It was hard on
the oysters which had worked so patiently
to save their backs or bellies
from the itch of the sand but it made
money for the pearl dealers and, after
all, making money seems to be the
big thing in the world.
Down in Brazil the coffee producers
raised more coffee than the market
could absorb. The industry was
at low tide and prices were hopelessly
demoralized. Coffee stocks filled
docks and warehouses and Brazil's
greatest industry was at a standstill.
Then it was that some wise one suggested
if coffee could not be sold it(
might be burned. The government
began to burn its holdings of the
bean, producers did likewise and also
cut down the coffee plants of inferior
quality. The Brazilian planters in
future will get a better price for their
coffee and the world will drink a
better brew.
The cotton farmer of the South
might take a tip from the pearl dealers
and the coffee producers. Cotton
! is a drug on the market, yet we go
ahead and raise enormous crops, much
1 of which is untenderable. The price
! sinks down below six cents, less than
the cost of production, yet we continue
to crowd the market with much
cotton of inferior quality. In that
respect we are like the oysters of
Japan and the coffee farmers of
Brazil.
We cannot follow the plan of burning
our cotton although the farmers
of Nebraska are threatening to make
! fuel of their corn. What we can do,
however, is to raise less cotton and
improve the staple by decreeing
acreage, planting better seed and intensifying
fertilization and cultivation.
We can plant the food and feed
crops to supply home demand and
stop the outflow of cash derived from
the sale of cotton, that * annually
amounts to hundreds of millions of
dollars. We shall not have to burn
our cotton if we adjust our farm programs
to "the principle of supply and
demand.?Spartanburg Herald.
