The act OF J. Pierpont Morgan
in buying $4,000 tons Of coal abroad
for distribution among the poor OF
New York City will doubtless Go
much to soften the hearts of the
people towards this man, who is
held responsible by many for the
continuation Of the strike. In JUS
tice to Mr. Morgan, it should be add
ed that he is actually credited
with having attempted to induce
The coal magnates to agree to some
terms less severe than that which
they have required-the uncondi-
tional surrender Of The miners. The
attempt, it is said, resulted in Mr..
Morgan's being told that he must
keep out of the matter, and his gift
of coal to the poor is believed to be
in the nature of a slap at the coal
roads. An then, there are others
who charge that Morgan's gift is
merely made to prolong the strike,
by enabling the coal barons to
starve the miners into submission,
after quoting the public indigna-
ton by relieving the scarcity OF
fuel for the poor. Morgan is believ-
ed to be the master spirit of the
coal trust.

GOVERNMENT ownership OF pub
lie utilities is the chief tenet of
socialism. The suffering and loss
which the masses OF the people are
enduring on account of the coal
strike is creating a wide spread
sentiment in favor OF government
ownership OF coal mines, vet there
is much in the idea that gives
thoughtful persons pause Coal is a
necessity to the masses, but so are
many other articles which are pro-
duced Jointly by capital and labor
If we begin with confscatioi of the
coal mines, where should we end?
The government ownership of the
postal system, is successful in the
main, yet, as is well known, it fos-
ters abuses in some ways, and COM
plant against it, in case OF dissatis-
faction, is about as futile as it
would be to attempt to butt down
a brick wall Socialism appears
seductively feasible in some features,
but it IS far from offering a panacea
for all the ills resulting from in
dustrial or political abuses.

Walter H. Page says in an article on
the old commOnwealths in the South
that the people in the older towns and
villages in that section are not only
more purely Anglo-Saxon than those in
other parts of the Union, but retain
many primitive virtues. They are affec-
tionate and helpful. Hospitality is not
a mere habit; 1t Is a necessity of their
natures. 1t was in town like this that
a plan was made to build a hotel and
when the leading citizen was asked to
subscribe to stock in the hotel company
he replied with a touch of Indignation:

The report that a recently deceased
New York woman left her husband by
will to another woman has been pub
ished, and has attracted no little at
tentiOn. 1t will be interesting to note
the result Of this testamentary dispo-
sttion of a peculiar kind of personal
property by one who has been sup
posed to have only life interest In the
premises. For the sake Of establish
ing a precedent we should like to see
the gentleman who was thus disposed
of enter a demurrer to the carrying
out of that particular provision of the
will with which he Is most concerned.
1t may be, of course, that he was thus
devised to another of his own free will
and with his consent. Still, the indi-
vidual owes 1t to his sex to have the
legality Of the devisement either es.
tablished or denied by the properly con-
stituted authority. 1t will never do for
the husbands of this land to submit
tamely, and without a construction of
the statutes by our judicial officers. to
an alleged and newly discovered prin-
ciple of law which reduces them to the
level of a chattel, and which gives
them no more to say as to their future
than that which we accord to horse,
a dog, a family portrait or a mahog-
any bedstead. The issue may be await
ed by man with calmness, for it is
hardly likely with the machinery of
the law in the hands of men the deci-
sion will in any way affect his rights.
Nevertheless, an authoritative decision
should be rendered with all due
promptness, and we trust that the
marital legacy Immediately involved
will not delay in subjecting the princi-
pie involved to the severest tests the
courts will permit.
