OUR MINING OPERATIONS

r. AMILIAR as we are with the gil
n gantic mining operations of the
Pennsylvania coal fields, it never
theless is surprising TO learn that
the hard coal miners of this State are
better diggers than those of the Pana-
ma canal zone, in that they excavate
every year more than the total
essary for the construction of the big
ditch.
The figures just issued by the pub
licity department of the anthracite
companies are highly interesting and
apparently authentic The average
number of net tons of coal produced
from the anthracite mines during the
years 1904 to 1913, inclusive, was
approximately S1,0OO,000. Each long
ton of this coal measured at least one
cubic yard in the vein. A long ton
of 2,240 pounds is over ten per cent.
more than a net ton of 1000 pounds.
The tonnage of coal therefore ac-
counts for at least 90,000,000 of the
95,32S.O00 cubic yards of excavation
originally necessary for the Panama
Canal Add to this the fact that more
rock and refuse than coal is hoisted
out of the anthracite mines, and this
accounts for another 100,000,000 Gu
bic yards. Finally the gigantic strip
pings, estimated by one contractor at
IL, 900, 600 cubic yards year. and the
miles of drainage tunnels cut through
the solid rock easily bring up the total
annual cubic yardage of excavation to
a total equal to. if not greater than,
the total yardage Of the Panama
Canal.
1t should be remembered in addition
to this that the Panama Canal is being
dug in the open sunlight, while the
vania is done in dark, narrow passages,
far below ground, and the material has
to be transported greater distances
and hosted from 500 to 5000 feet.
The thicker veins are being rapidly
exhausted and the proportion of rock
and refuse to the amount of coal
hoisted is increasing steadily year
by year as the narrower veins are
worked. II the companies are able to
maintain the present rate of produc-
ton of coal the annual amount of
excavation will far exceed the Panama
Canal in the next few years.

years
Our schools have improved so rapid
ly and life of to-day is so strenuous
that the modern parent is apt to trust
well, as Professor Sanford advises, for
the mother of TODAY to send her child

on its mind.
The baby intellect is so easily led.
1t is keen to learn. Put the good in

choose for itself and it will gather
much chaff with the grain. The mother
has it in her power to put pure, ele-
waiting thoughts into its mind that will
go with ii all through life.
The embroidered dress will wear
out. Ruffies will go out of fashion.
And at all events a taste for costly
dress Is to be discouraged rather than
engendered. But fair speech and a
knowledge of the classics are always
in style and are helpful in whatever
walk of life one finds oneself.

PRESIDENT REA,s WARNING

IFrom the Lancaster New Era.l
The note of warning sounded by
President Rea of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, against the very
apparent tendency to hamper the coun-
trys railroads by various forms of leg
islation,. both State and national, will
be. carefully considered by every right
thinking person. The trend of nearly
all legislation latterly has been against
the large corporations, both transporta-
tion and productive, the lawmakers
evidently trying to appease what they
are led to believe to be a deep-seated
public antagonism against large indus
trial organizations. In their eagerness,
however, to satisfy this demand to
get, back" at the big capitalizations,
the legislators have been overreaching
themselves, and have been passing laws
and adopting regulations that have re-
suited in hampering the operations of
these corporations and have greatly de-
creased their earning capacities. This
has been especially the case with rail-
road legislation, notably the passage of
the full-crew laws in several States
which, according to President Rea have
required the expenditure of very large
sums, which have, of course, cut down
the roads profits.

EXPRESS co. LIQUIDATION

"H HE Harrisburg representative of
the United States Express Com
l. pany expresses astonishment at
the reported liquidation of that
corporation. He says that receipts
here show an increase and that the
outlook for a prosperous business year
is bright He expresses the telief that
it will be a long time before the office
of the United States Express Company
in this city is closed.
In this belief many others are be-
ginning to join. When the directors
of the company announced that they
would ''go out of business it was gen.
orally conceded that their given rea-
son-the encroachment of the parcel
post-was the true one. But since
that time developments have been
such as TO arouse the suspicious of
those who are familiar with Wall
Street transactions of the kind.
In the first place, it is to be noted
that the Harrimans control the United
States company. 1t is also the Harri-
mans who own voting majority of
the shares of the Wells Fargo Com
pany. The express companies are in
bad repute with the government and
the public. What better business than
to sell the property and franchise of
| the United States company to the
| Wells Fargo, with the statement that
the parcel post had forced the United
States company out OF business?
Liquidation would drive down the
stock valuations and let those in con
troll buy in outstanding shares at a
| fraction of their former value-and
| there is pretty good evidence that
somebody has been very ready buyer
of the United States stock as it came
to the market in the past few weeks.
None of the other express companies
has displayed any signs of serious dis
! tress, and while the government has
no right to enact any legislation that
will be confiscatory to legitimate in
dustry, we should pause moment be-
fore extending full measure of sym
pathy to the Harrimans and their
United states Express Company liqui-
| dation.

PAYING TRIBUTE TO BRITAIN

tn HE one great effect of the repeal
of the free tolls clause for United
= States shipping through the
Panama Canal would be TO force
Americans to pay tribute to Great
Britain and other maritime nations for
all time on every shipload of goods
sent by water from points to and from
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
The cost of upkeep and a fair re-
turn on the money invested should not
be charged up to the American people
No man builds himself a house and
then charges himself rent for the use
of it. If there is any rent to be paid,
he makes the other fellow pay it. The
real estate owner who would agree to
pay half or more of the lease price of
any of his properties would be laughed
out of business. Yet that is just what
President Wilson proposes in the mat
ter of the Panama Canal.
If there be any treaty rights in
question-and there are many eminent
statesmen who believe that no foreign
relation is involved--let the matter be
settled by The Hague tribunal. 1t will
be time enough in the event OF an
adverse decision in that court of last
appeal to place the shippers of the
United States on par with those of
foreign nations. Surely, il the people
Of the United States were willing To
spend their money to build the canal,
the combined nations of the world
ought not to object TO paying for its
upkeep.

There is growing danger that
the upshot will be disastrous alike
to labor, to investors. to employers
and to the administration.

TO submit meekly and silently to

daily without any manifest master
mind to guide the rank and file
toward any definite sensible goal.
Notwithstanding the manifest desire
of all classes of people to avoid what
might appear as a calamity attitude
with respect to business conditions.
there is a growing conviction among
those in position to understand the
situation that the radical legislation
which has already been enacted and
much that is proposed is responsible in
large measure for the lack of con-
fidence and general hesitation to push
ahead under full steam.
President Wilson and his associates
must realize that a more conservative
attitude is necessary for the restoration
of confidence and the building up of
the broken business lines.
