Singing should be taught in every

convince commissioners thalt the in
ability to teach singing is a grave de-
ficiency, for teachers will try to teach
singing when commissioners ask for
it.
But some earnest teachers would
not wait for any action of the COM

THE COAL SUPPLY.

An international subject which is of al
most paramount interest even now is that
of the worlds coal supply. Authorities
on both sides of the Atlantic are now
giving it serious attention, and it is to
he noted that the tone on this side Is
one of satisfaction and confidence, while
ON the other much apprehension is dis
played.
Lately there has been much demand
for American coal in Europe, and this is
taken to indicate the reaching of the
limit in European output, which is found
Inadequate to meet the demand. But if
European output continues at It's pres
emf volume the foreign market for Amer
lean coal must necessarily remain linz
tied, and 1t Is question If this condi-
ton would not be the best for the in
dustrial welfare of the United States,
looking a hundred years ahead. There
is no note of prudence, however, in the
discussion on this side. It Is mostly a
roseate picture of the United States
rope at it's mercy. decreeing whether
there shall be industrial prosperity, or
whether war or peace shall prevail, or,
still again, which of two naval COM
batants shall be able to get up steam
for the fray. 1t will be recognized that
if there is going to be an annual Euro
pean deficit of the size indicated by this
years expectations from the United
States, the dependence upon this coun-
try will be great. The only alternative
would be a considerable curtailment OF
various operations. and as this would
give the United States a double adj
vantage, it would hardly be thought Of
But this Is the most favorable con-
struction placed upon the situation in
Europe. Many authorities there would
DC glad if they were certain that nothing
worse than an annual deficit could be
expeetsd. They are seriously concerned

duction in which the consumer is to share,
but with those commercial vuitures, who
persistently seek, at the hands of con-
gress, power TO monopolze. restrict pro-
duction and rob the people. They have
obtained that power from Republican
congress, and are using it to the limit.
That has made the trust issue. which
Mr.. Flint and all other trust defenders
discreetly dodge. At heart they are In
sympathy with the system of piunder,
that is established and the politics which
makes it possible and when they dc
speak they know of no other course than
to- cry ''demagogue' while painting an
ideal picture, which, if it were reproduc-
ed from actual conditions, would be adj
mired no less by the 'demagogues" than
by Others
Can Mr.. Flint or any of his ilk point
out how we would be conducted to lin
evitable disaster" by the removal OF Ding
ley protection" to special interests,
which do not need it for any legitimate
PURPOSE, ana whose OHty ODJecJ III ask
ing for it, judging from results, is to
gain power to plumber the people? 1t is up
on such combines as these that the at
tack is being made, and no ''demagogue'
In the country is half as dangerous as
the plausible hireling of the evil COM
bines who first provides them with
wings and halos, and then solemnIy
warns the country against unreasoning
hostility toward Legitimate business"
This course may fool some people, but
1T would be a reflection on the intelli-
gence Of the masses to suppose that 1t
can, at this late day, fool very many.
Why should any intelligent man lose
sight of the real point and issue, simply
because pro-trust orators take pains to
dodge and misrepresent the situationo
That is their business, and they seem to
understand it. The business of the people
is to remove the leeches fastened on their
pocketbooks by the Dingley law. Do they
understand their business as We'll as the
trust people do theirs? The Glob

THE NAME AND THE EVIL

Chas. r. Flint, of New York, known as
the father OF trusts showed in IN ad-
dress before the Illinois Manufacturers
association, the other day, that he Is
proud of his work. But insofar as lie at
tempted to deal with the political phas,
of the subject, he displayed either ig.
norance or determination not to recos-
nize the real issue. Mr. Flint described
and idealized conditions which. in them
selves have little to do with making
the trust issue, and had he not deliberate
ly injected politics into the speech by mis-
representative the objects of antitrust
attack, his effort might be allowed 70
go unchallenged. But the speaker could
resist neither the usual course of trust
defenders in steering wide of the real
point agaist combines, nor the temptation
to class antitrust people as demagogues
The latter would be demagogues, perhaps,
to a certain extent, if they were engaged
in an assault upon the commercial in
terests as pictured by Mr. Flint, but they
are not. The injustice of the following as
applied to antitrust people, among whom
are some Of the most conservative men
and profound thinkers in America. VIII
be recognized:
They are advocating theories in bust
ness and finance that, if adopted, would
snake the very foundations of our indus
trial existence. They are half-thinkers
because they think without the facts

leaders in the industrial wars for the sl1,

by the ciaTnor of those who are not in
the struggle, and therefore cannot appre-
cate the actual conditions and whose
leadership, il accepted, owing to their in
experience, would conduct us to inevita bic

Mr.. Flint juggled with names, saving
that the combinations should not be call
