THE PUBLIC BE--PATIENT.

President Baer of the Reading road can afford
to be patient but most of the coal consumers cannot
Sometimes patience ceases to be virtue and becomes
a mark of downright incompetency. For the public
not to complain about the present coal prices would
be tanamount to conceding the in control of the
coal business to do they please.
Mr.. Baer, in his latest statement goes so far
to admit that some of the companies selling coal
may be guilty of extortonate practices, but he fails
to explain
Why the public is taxed 25 cents ton, when the
increase in miners wages does not average more
shan Is cents.
Why the freight rates coal from the Penn
sylvania mines to tidewaer the Atlantic coast
we're up so high that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has ordered reduction, to take effect
the first of the year.
Why the so-called independent operators whose
product has largely been controlled by the Coal
trust" should boost prices, while the principal COM
panes reported to be sticking to Circular prices
Why the coal roads dilly daily while the operators
are, according to Mr.. Baers statement of six weeks
ago, mining more coal all the time than they can sell
Why, if all this talk of coal shortage is merely

conjecture" so many cities and towns, particularly
in New England, should be compelled to submit to
positive famine prices and, in many cases, to partial
deliveries.
Why strikes should at this critical time be in
order here and there in the mining districts and the
miners everywhere be allowed to work virtually when
II suits them to do so. Between November I and
November they took three full days off. They
work on half time, in other words, while the public
found reason to worry all the more.
Why should the public be patient while the coal
business is so wretchedly administered at head
quarters?

THE EXTRA SESSION.

Governor Wilson has taken the course that nearly
everybody expected Of him, and that was plainly in
dcated for him by all the facts surrounding his sit
uation He has announced that he will call extra
session Of Congress in April, with the end Of having
the tariff revision passed early and thus relieving
business so far as possible, of apprehensons based
uncertainty. The decision might not have been an
nounced so soon but for the fact that many members
of Congress desired to know what they might expect
and to adjust their living arrangements in Washing
ton to it.
1t may be presumed that will hear good deal
about tariff during the short session. but that it will
be heard from the Ways and Means Committee ratn-
er than from tn, final legislative bodies themselves.
The committee has difficult task ahead Of it. For
one thing the bills that prepared last session must
be reorganzed into such form that Democratic
Administration, controlling all branches of the Gov
eminent, shall be willing to assume responsibility
for them. That means that some decided changes
will be made from the text Of measures that the
House passed last winter. The extent and character
OF these changes will suggest to what degree the
bills Of last session were intended for buncombe
and to what degree they were in good faith For
intance, the free sugar proposition served last ses
sion to prevent any revision of the sugar schedule.
1t will hardly be permitted to serve that same pur-
pose again, simply because there is going to be no
chance next time of dividing responsibility.
On wool and sugar shall some fine fight
ing for there is powerful sentiment in favor Of
removing the tariff from both these articles. 1t is
hardly within belief that such measures will finally
pass. Extremists who insist such schedules will
contribute most to the embarrassment of the party
program and President Wilson will find himself con-
fronted with the necessity for using all his tact and
diplomacy in preventing deadlock between his two
houses.
The huge Democratic majority in the lower body
at times ran over the House leadership last session.
1t will be still more unmanageable next year. On
the other hand the Senate will hardly be much more
endery disposed toward tariff radicalism than it
was last July. 1t does not need the prophetic eye to
discern breakers ahead with tine very real posi-
bility Of just such tieup developed last session.
except that this time the Senate instead of the White
House may be exercising the veto power

LABOR'S ATTACK ON BURNS.

The council of the Federation of Labor does not
strengthen itself with the public or injure at all
W. J. Burns by arraigning him in its report as an
example of his own characterization of private de-
ectves, and by declaring that the investigation of
the federation since the Mcnamara trial was "a con-
certed attempt by employers associations and sub
sidized newspapers to destroy the federation and
bring its officers into disrepute.'
Mr.. Burns mas rendered public service to the
country of the highest order in his tracing and de-
lection of the great dynamite conspiracy.
The court at indianapolis, now trying officials
Of the ronworkers and Others has yet to investigate
the extent to which they involved in the plot,
if at all, and to pass its decision upon them.
1t should be allowed to do so without attack from
any source. We do not believe the great majority of
the union labor men of the country wish to
defend any man who shared in the devsh work or
to interfere with full and fair trial for him. The
federation should uphold it in its work and afford
all possible aid in securing justice.

SENATOR RAYNER.

The people of Washington have learned with the
deepest regret of Senator Rayner's serious illness
and will earnestly hope that his life may be spared.
Throughout the country the Senator's precarious
condition has caused account of his reputa
tion as a man Of high worth, as lawyer Of great
ability, especially on constitutional questions, and
because of his engaging personal qualities.
The fact that the next Senate promises to be
closely divided politically has naturally increased
anxiety abroad over the Senator's sickness In
Maryland there is keen sorrow for highly esteemed
man who has reflected credit upon the State in many
positions of responsibility and to whom public life
holds out promise of still greater usefulness.

SMITH AS A PROGRESSIVE" ;"

John Walter Smith, of Maryland, who was one
of the reliable Adrch assistants in the session of
1909, is out in statement defending mis- tariff votes
of that time Senator Smith vigorously declares that
he is not ashamed Of any Of his votes, has apol
oges to make, and was actuated by no consideration
of personal interest in taking any of his positions.
He is tariff f-for-revenue Democrat and has always
been progressive"
This illustrates how widely definitions may be
stretched Nobody of course, can tell what on earth
a tariff -forrevenue Democrat is. Senator Smith is
one, he says; but Alexander Stephens Clay;
and a comparison of their votes would show that
Smith was, down at the bottom just as near to an
Aldrich Republican it possible for Democrat
to be, while Clay never compromised his
vctions and was never helpful to the standpat ring
that so many times needed Democratic assistance.
OF late good deal has been heard by way Of
gossip and speculation, about the possibility that a
conservative Senate, under very close Democratic
control, may wreck the Wilson revision program.
Four Democrats, German, Brice, Smith, and Murphy,
have taken their places in history as the men who
broke down the Cleveland revision. If those four
were sitting on the Democratic side of the Sen
ate today, it would be accepted that real revision was
very likely to fail.
Does not Senator Smith know that wherever
men discuss the possibility of repetition Of that
Wilson bill tragedy, his is always included
among those Democrats who could be expected to
join in betrayng the party program? If he does not
know that, his friends ought to let him know. The
Senator in his capacity as boss of Maryland Democ-
racy has just ahead of him the grave possibility OF
an unexpected party crisis Whenever there is a
Senatorial vacancy from Maryland the Smith ma
chine will be determined to pass the mantle to a
loyal henchman. The necessity of conducting a
Senatorial fight in behalf of the reactionary old Mary
land machine, and at the same time making tariff
record in the Senate, involves difficulties which might
very easily smash the Smith organization.

FIRE PRECAUTIONS IN NEW YORK
SCHOOLS

In his sweeping condemnation of some 600 schools
of the metropolis as failing to comply with the new
fre-protection law, New York's fire commissioner
mas probably given every city in the United States
a scare.
On its face, his peremptory order to the board OF
education to install the proper safety arrangements
under penalty of having the schools closed, is
terrific indictment for careessness. In reality it
apparently means only that New York purposes to
be extra cautious 1t is to be noted that most of the
newer schools not included in the order at all !;
and that, of the old ones, fewer are condemned for
careless arrangements than for not having as yet
been remodeled in compliance with the new and
urastrict regulations; and, last but not least that
the marshal has only praise for the disciplinary
system of fire drills, ETC., that has been put in force
in every public school in the city.
Rarely does holocaust take place that might not
have been prevented had all the doors opened out
ward, mad there been we'll reaching from cellar
to top floor, or had every fre-extnguisner been in
place and in serviceabe condition. 1t is attention
to these finer points that prevents disaster; and the
energy shown by New Yorks commissioner in his
insistence that it be given should be taken as
wholesome example by the authorities throughout
the country.
