The RcGiacr discovers that some West
Virginia coal operators want Tree coal.
Ii that be true they have been rather
backward about coming forward. But
suppose it were true that all tho opera
tors in tho country want free coal, that
would not determine the question In
favor OF free coal.
II the cost OF production and delivery
10 common market were made as low
for American coal as ior foreign coal, it
may be that some operators would be
pleased with tho change, although 1t IS
certainly true that lev OF them have re-
corded themselves on this side OF the
question.
The men who die the coal are not
asking for free coal, and these are vastly
more numerous than the operators. The
mon who supply the wants OF the
miners arc not asking Tor free coal.

dc not desire less work or less wages.
The Whitney syndicate, which has
invested largely in the Nova Scotia pro-
jcct, wants Tree coal. well assured that
its foreign coal will have great adj
vantage in the New England market.
This Whitney syndicate is running 4
very active literary bureau, and the

Some OF the earlier work OF the syndi-
Gates bureau has not appeared in the
Register 1t was intended to show how
tho syndicate could dominate the
American market and was directed 10
investors. This is not the series in
tended for general publication in free
trade newspapers ut this time.
On the general ISSUE, whether free
coal will be good thing or 4 bad thing
Tor the American coal industry, We shall
shortly have some valuable experience.
Then We shall know which side is right
and which Is wrong.

MILITARY DRILL IN SCHOOLS

To the Editor of the jersey city Veacs:
Among the open letters in the June num-
Der of the Century is one from Mr.. Benjamin
+. Trueblood, in which are arrayed some
arguments against the maintenance and
further introduction of military drill in our
schools. As there are many people-educa-
tors, civilians and military men-to whom
these arguments appear not only fallaclous
but disparaging, it seems proper that the
other side should have a hearing. We will
not attempt to hold that the American boy
should be trained in the military drill as a
preparation for possible war; we Will simply
speak of present advantages.
In the first place, military drill emphatic
ally does develop the body in a manner to
make it slightly and graceful, and to place 1t
under control. 1t does not cultivate forms
and positions which are artificial and I'M
natural. The military position could be con-
sidered unnatural only if the 'bicycle stoop"
were considered natural. In the new drill
regulations there are seventeen Setting I'D"
exercises, which are aimed to develop the
muscles OF the neck, trunk, arms and legs
the most important muscles of the body, and
those that all calisthenic exercises seek espe-
cialIy to train-the very calisthenic exercises
with which the gentleman would supplant
the military drill. As to the military car
riage being but temporary, and as to its be-
ing notorious that a soldier will invariably
SLOUGH out of ranks, there is but one feeling
-astonishment The observation of the
writer, and of those with whom he is asso-
ciated and has conversed, compels the opin-
ion that this fact is notorious to out a
limited and select circle. On such a point
the testimony of observation is all that can
be adduced, and the victory rests on the side
with the most testimony.
And now, briefly, to bring forward a few
arguments which seem cogent to the writer.
The military drill and its correlative discip-
line are valuable both to the individual and
to the State. To the Individual because it
makes him courteous. neat, prompt and
obedient as no other course of training can.
To the State because in these times of con-
slant strikes, followed by bloodshed and
wanton depreciation, men with military
training are absolutely necessary.
Mr.. Iruebiood argues tnat wal Is Oh the
past and peace is of the present-that things
military belong to what has gone by; but we
do not hesitate to say, in words of equal SEN
timent, that our waning patriotism can in no
other way be better fostered than by the
military routine which teaches honor to our
country, and which is full of beautiful rever-
ence to our flag.
From an educators standpoint nothing
can be compared t. military drill and its
concomitants for enforcing a high grade of
discipline and a high morate IN our schools.

TO ABOLISH O0R0NERs.
Prosecutor WinGeld's and County
PhYsiclan COnYersess Views.

Prosecutor NtAEAAAOt4'e anA SOuhGy
Physician Conyerse's Views.
Today I asked Prosecutor Winfield what
he thought of the proposition before the
Commissioners who nave been appointed to
recommend to the Legislature amendments
to the Constitution, to abolish the office of
coroner.
''It is entirely proper" he said, 'for coro-
ners nave outlived their utility. What they
can do can be much better 0 by police
magistrates, and at a much less expense to
the taxpayers. In regard to eroners acting
in the place of the sheriff on certain occa-
sions that could be easily overcome in a
number of ways, one of which would be for
the court to appoint a person for the specific
occasion. That is all that | care to say, and
| think it expresses enough"
County Physician Converse, whose eX
perience with Coroner's has been as great as
that of Prosecutor Winfield, was ~reluctant
to talk about the proposition, but he did
say
adopted in Massachusetts, and Connecticut
would be entirely satisfactory in this State.
This system is to ave a medical examiner,
similar to a County Physician here. who in
the Ease of suspicious death can request any
magistrate to examine witnesses to ascertain
the cause of death, in the same manner that
is pursued by a coroner in this State. A
magistrate could do everything that a
coroner could dc except to act in the place of
the sheriff, and some plan could readily be
devised to overcome this difficulty
