high ideals the British and American
nations held in common-the high
ideals Of citizenship Of the two coup-
tries"
Referring to the president, he said:
Before he became president, Mr..
Woodrow Wilson was a thinking man
and a moralist. In studying his ca
reer / cannot fail to be impressed by
his detached character and find that
he has not ceased to be thinker and
a moralist because he had become the
holder Of a great office. We see in
him the aspirations and ideals ex-
pressed Of his nation to the world. 1t
is not only his expressed declaration
that the policy Of the United States is
not one of conquest or annexation,
but the world looks to the United
States, with its enormous position
and POSSESSIONS. to carry on its tradi-
tions without adding to its posses
sions.
"That is our course also. Nor Is 1t
the case that when the United States
-~intervenes in any matter it is done
for its own advantage. 1t was not
the case with Cuba, to whom the
United States restored independence.
England itself has done. the same
thing in South Africa, where we gave
back liberty to those with whom we
fought"
Speaking OF the Monroe doctrine,
he said that the United States con-
sidered herself responsible for the
liberties Of the smaller nations of
that hemisphere. He could see what
was in the mind Of the president Of
that time-that the responsibility
rested with the United States to Sc
cure good government and fair
treatment for these countries.
He Interpreted President Wilson's
policy to mean that the United States
was ready to accept the responsible
ityh Of insuring good terms herself
In those countries and those, who.
WENT there, and that the : United
States should set up high ideals of
policy Of justice and Righteousness.
Il am not sure that anyone should
speculate upon the Interpretation Of
that policy" continuer the high
chancellor, but have thought my
self at liberty to say what | have.
II is true, indeed, that a high spirit
and a high aim have been brought
into the policy OF the United States
in its dealings with adjacent coun-
tries, and it is because the president
has taken the attiture he has-a
step which none can but admire,
whatever its consequences may be-
that l propose good health to Mr.,
Woodrow Wilson, the president and
Woodrow Wilson, the man."
Sir John A, Simon, the attorney
general, proposed the health Of the
American ambassador, Walter H..
Page, and declared him to be the
worthy successor of his distinguished
predecessors.
Mr.. Page referred to the warm re-
ception which the American ambas-
sador had met with in England and
which he knew was a tribute to his
country. Acknowledging Lord Hall
canes speech he said:
1.-The American nation Is not one
whit afraid to follow its bent to the
Utmost length. The lord chancellor
has spoken Of doing what Is righteous
without regard to consequences,
There are no consequences" he cons
Guided emphatically.

However, its effect on the rural routes
and the carriers remains to be seen,
and there will undoubtedly be some
changes required to perfect the sys-
TEN. In the meanwhile, though, there
will be a big falling off in the express
business, and it will be interesting to
watch the course Of the big companies
in meeting this big public rival. The
general opinion is that express rates
have been too high that the charges
were only limited by the greed of the
managers Of the companies, and the
ability Of the traffic to put up the coin
therefor. The companies, too, are put
up against it, for we all know they will
not carry goods at loss 1t will be

rally that the opinion that they were
charging too much was correct-and
the size Of the reduction will be the

do not reduce rates, then there may be

If they take this course they will lose

Again, good business judgment die

With proper restrictive laws in

The aggregate capitalization Of the
corporations dissolved in any one wear

along.
In June of this year the cost
was $1.33 q, ton. For July the
figures will probably be $1.25 a
ton, says w. s. Arthur, the prof.
ect engineer, and still less for
August. Eventually, says Ar
thur, he expects to lower the
cost to 81 a ton, by operating
the plant the year round and do
ing more y"room work" The
more coal he digs, the cheaper he
can dig it.
| In private mines in the same
territory timbered like the gov
eminent mine it costs about
$1.50 a ton to dig coal.
| To deliver that private coal to
the government power plant
would have brought up the cost
to $3.50 ton.

paying from SPA to $3.50 a

Well, they're not complaining.
Uncle pays the 'going rate"
thereby playing fair with private
operators. But he gives the min
ers better working facilities, SO
they dig more coal and make
more money. And lie can get all
the miners he wants, when he
has steady work for them. He
gives the preference to married
men.
If they are inexperienced men,
hired for emergencies, they get
$3.50 to $500 a day. The "skin-

But nearly all the men are
skilled miners, working ON ton

for 7-foot entry or tunnel work.
These ton-workers average from

for their explosives, lamps, picks,
shovels and repairs. The best
miners net $3.50 to $500 a day.
And the average coal miners

about 1900 a day!
Add to that the fact that Uncle
