Deny COAL FAMINE REPORT

Philadelphia, Nov. 13.--The reports
sent out from this city predicting a
coal famine this winter are denied by
many of the large coal companies OF
this state. which supply fuel to a great
portion Of the United States. While
1t is admitted that there is not an
oversupply Of hard coal, there are suf-
ficient quantities of other grades to
meet demands.
The anthracite needs Of number
of sections to which the coal supply
is shipped partly by water are being
taken care of by the operators at pres
ent because of the fear that the ports
of shipment and entry may soon be
obstructed by ice. Higher price Offer
ings by dealers in certain cities also
induced some of the independent OPP
orators to take advantage of the situa-
ton and exact premiums for ready
shipments.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has issued a statement bearing
on the freight car shortage. Because
of the commissions reference to one
railroad as being short of coal cars,
the report has alarmed New York,
causing coal famine" talk The COM
missions statement does not even
hint at coal famine, though one of
the commissioners is reported to have
said that If immediate remedy for the
car shortage is not found, people in
all parts of this country will be freez-
ing to death because of their inability
to get coal" Dealers here declare this
remark ridiculous.

The shocking death Of Victor L. Mason

graduating from the High School and
George Washington University. and sery-

lived away from Washington. but his
friends here have none the less continued
to regard him as identified with the cap
ital and have been gratified at the large
measure of success In business which
has come TO him. The circumstances of
his death are peculiarly tragic. He was

The Y. w. G.. As Success.

The campaign for a building fund for
the Young Woman's Christian Associa-
ton has progressed thus far SO satisfacto-
rily that the success of the enterprise has
been amply assured. More than a. suf-
hcient amount has been subscribed to
permit the purchase Of site on which a
building adequate to the needs Of this
organization can be erected, well located
and in every respect suitable for It's pur-
poses. There remains, Of course, the
fund for the building itself yet to be

will be no tagging in the enterprise on
the part OF the friends of the organiza-

The Careless" Walker.

A special committee Of aldermen,
having made a tour of the city in auto
mobiles to study the problem OF speed
regulation. stated on their return that
the carelessness of pedestrians and OF
teamsters along the streets had made
q greater impression upon them than
anything else. A report says: "All were
convinced that the numerous accidents
and fatalities resulting from automo-
biles are not altogether due to careless
driving" Such conviction might
have been predicted. To a man in an
auto going at high speed all the world
appears careless. The mental delusion
is as familiar as the physical Illusion
Of a man on a train that every hay
stack he sees is rushing recklessly

The Senate and Ex-Presidents.

Gov Mann of Virginia Endorses the
for six-year presidential
term, with the incumbent of the Office
ineligible for reelection.
But he adds something to- 1t. He would
make ex-Presidents senators for life, and
declares that their influence in the SEN
ate would be conservative and whole
some
Unfortunately for this declaration, it
comes at time when our only ex-Presi-
dent Is revealing himself as the most
radical man in our political life. Con-
servatism is under his ban. The changes
he is recommending in governmental pro-
cedure take the rag on the bush for ex-
tremism. No populist or socialist has
led him In attacks on the courts.
Had he passed from the White House
to the Senate would he have escaped the
influence which has estranged so many
Of his former admirers and supporters
from him? Would he as a senator for
life, protected from the ambition that
has now mastered him, have given him
self to more orderly thought, and striven
for progress along conservative lines?
1t is anybody's guess. but good guess
is that in the Senate even he would have
taken an unusual course. The fact Is he
is an unusual man. He has always set
and gone his own pace. In all the ofiices
he has filled his record shows an i'm
patience with the suggestions Of others,
no matter how near to him. He has the
spirit ascribed to Henry Clay. He al.
ways will be captain. He drives on
those who refuse to yield. and bosses all
who follow.
The Senate is not a good place for such
man. Autocracy has now and then
shown itself there. but never for long,
and never with the best results. Mr.
Sumner broke down. and in the end Mr..
Conkling lost his seat

Canada and Annexation.

Mr. Roosevelt explains to a London
newspaper that in supporting Mr. TAFT
reciprocity pact with Canada he did not
have annexation in mind. OF course not.
Neither did Mr.. Taft in negotiating the
instrument. nor Mr. Clark I'm giving his
vote for ii in the House. Improved trade
relations comprehended the full Amer
lean purpose. Mr.. Clark in his remarks
in the House hlurted out no hidden pur-
pose. nor may any such purpose be found
in the personal correspondence which
passed between Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roose-
welt Reciprocity in trade was the sole
object in view.
How often and absurdly that word an
nexation hobs up, When We interviewed
In the case OF Cuba annexation explained
the act in Europe. and particularly In
Spain. 1t was stated that we had long
coveted the island. and here at last was
our chance. independence for the Gu
bans? Nonsense, Now that the Amer
lean flag had been raised 1t would never
be lowered. Cuba was now, and would
remain, American territory.
And of course We have our eyes on
Mexico. Our secret desire is that L tur-
bulence in that country continue Until
II is apparent that only an outsider can
restore and preserve order. Then Uncle
Sam will step in and do the. work. Eu-
rope is barred, and America alone on this
hemisphere is strong enough.
Have We not enough to do within our
present boundaries? Are there not ques-
tons in both Cuba and Mexico full Of
warning to us against annexation? Only
slight knowledge of the two countries Is
sufficient to show what those questions
are: and men who have made a thorough
investigation of Cuban and Mexican con-
ditions and characteristics advise earnest
~ against the bare suggestion of Amer
lean absorption and control.
Canada is different. The language spo-
ken, the basic principles Of the law, the
larger influences of political training. all
bring the Canadians near to us. But even
the Canadians have problems that we
should hesitate to tackle
In a word, we already have troubles
enough of our own. If it were possible
for US to annex all three of the coun-
by simply opening Our arms and inviting
them to rush in. it would be great folly
for US TO make the demonstration.
Mr.. Roosevelt's present criticism of the
pact which he formerly approved Is not
based upon a charge that it squinted to-
ward annexation, but that it carried in
justice to the American farmers. As
candidate for the Chicago nomination, he
has shifted his foot to attract IL possible
those American interests that cooled to-
ward Mr.. Taft because of the negotia-
tions.

Senators by Direct Vote.

At last the states are to pass on the
proposition for the election OF United
States senators by direct vote of the
people. That 1t will be approved seems
certain. 1t has been known to our poll
tics for long time. and under frequent
discussion for more than a decade. 1t
wins i'm Congress now by large ma
jority drawn from both parties. and this
will give II prestige in the appeals to the
states. Every state should record itself
in the affirmative.
The proposition is not millennialstic in
scope or hope. 1t will not. because II
cannot. bar Doodle from the equation 1t
will not always secure the best man for
the Office. It will not make senatorial
contests lone grand sweet song" Rich
men, with little else but their riches to
draw upon. will offer for recognition.
Noise and stump oratory will play their
parts. Scheming for advantage will still
so on.
But with the choice in the hands of the
people. candidates for senator will, so to
say. be obliged to do business directly
with the people. The old style jugglcry
at a state capital. with legislators in the
grip of managing politicians, whereby
good men were rejected and an unworthy
dark horse substituted. will be no longer
possible. The people will be able to de-
eide for themselves and II a poor selec-
ton is made they alone will be to blame.
And then by taking the matter out Of
the hands of the legislature, the way will
be cleared for legislative business proper.
1t has often happened that many inpor-
tant questions have become involved in.
and been injured by, legislative dead
lock produced by a senatorial contest.
Interest has conferred in q personal
scramble for an Office at the expense of
measures about which the people were
greatly concerned
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
people are as competent to choose their
senators as their representatives and
governors. And now they are to have the
chance to do SO.
