If General Sherman were alive,
he would have to apologize to
hell. lie was unjust to that
amiable region. The war of his
time was but an innocent harm
less killing game. 1t has grow WI
to that aerial triumph of German
culture over Antwerp.
To murder wantOnly and flu
tnely, to Stay or mangle little
children and young mothers in
their beds, to salute the Red
Cross flag with a bomb, to
slaughter and terrOrize non-com-
batants, random destruction with
no military results. with no per
manent result except to sicken
and anger all civilized mankind;
this is war as practised on a city
from Zeppelin airships.
Every nation which still be-.
lieves that something of human
ity should be maintained in the
usages of warfare should raise
its voice against this archdeed Of
pitiless savagery; against the
repetition Of such senseleSs and
unforgivable blind massacre

Opposing Argument.
The reasons given by the OPP
ponents of Amendment No. 4
why it should be voted down are
as follows:
He who serves his county and
State through patriotism, a sense
Of duty, or a desire to be honor
ed by his fellow citizens, will
work for the best interests Of
the State with more diligence,
ardor, and integrity of pur-
pose than he who seeks an of
flee for personal gain will be
more easily approached by the
lobbyist serving the moneyed in
t%erests. As an evidence of this
fact, we may observe that our
sister State, paying large sal
aries, has been repeatedly dis
graced by members receiving
brides from special interests
and senatorial candidates.

BIS On gro ze5 Aer4c
Jefferson City. Aug. %. The
fourth of the series of arguments
on the measures to be submitted
to vote at the coming election
as today issued by Secretary
of State Cornelius Roach. Those
wishing to vote intelligently on
Number -Four should preserve
.5lis article. The sole purpose
in giving these arguments is to
furnish information to the voter,
and the Secretary of State is in
no way responsible for assertions
made on either side of any sub
ject discussed.
The champions of Amendment
No. 4 give the following reasons
why the measure should be fay-
ored;
"The laborer is worthy of his
hire" We not only have the
divine sanction for this, but it is
universally conceded throughout
the civilized world save alone in
the Constitution of the great
State of Missouri, which fixes
the compensation Of members of
the general assembly at five dol
lars per day for the first seven
ty days and one dollar per day
for every day after that period,
Five dollars per day is not
only inadequate, but seventy
days is entirely too short a time
in which to properly transact the
D.O any business and Legislation
of the session. There is an
average Of about 1900 different
bills introduced at every ses-
sion Of the legislature, some
good, some bad, many foolish,
many i'll digested and badly
drawn. Each bill must be in
troduced, read first and second
time on separate days, referred
to proper committees, reported
hack, discussed, amended, en-
rolled and passed. 1t needs no
discussion to show that this
can not be properly and intelll-
gently done in seventy days, and
experience shows the impossible
ity of keeping a quorum in eithe
house after the seventy days. II
is the duty of the members OF TN
legislature to kill the bad bills.

and probably from 100000 to 100000
tons of coal would have been added to
the years output but for the great dis
aster. As there were no violent tluctua-
tons in the demand by the blast fur
naces, steel works, and other manufac-
turing industries, the demand for coal
for those purposes showed only a nor
NAL increase. The continued decrease
in the production of fuel oil in the Mid
Continent oil field and the strike in the
Colorado coal mines resulted in an in
creased output of coal in the southwest
ern states.
The coal production in 1912 was 534,-
466.5S0 short tons, and the output in
1918 would probably have been some
what in excess of 575,000,00O tons ex-
cept for the general shortage of labor
in the larger coal producing states. This
deficient labor supply was an impor-
tant factor, however, in enabling opera
tors to maintain prices, and it prevented
an output in excess of market require
ments, which would have added one
more to numerous preceding years when
prices were demoralized by an excessive
supply As it was, there was slight
advance in prices, compared with 1912.
The total coal production in 1900 was
269, 6S4,000 tons.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-01-03
COAL A RECORD BREAKER.
Production of 1913 Beats All Previou
Figures.

A production between 565,000,00O anc
575,000000 short tons of coal in the
United States during 1913 is the Off
cial estimate of the United States Geo.
logical Survey, an increase over the rec.
ord breaking production of 1912 of 30
100000 to 40000,000 tons. These fig.
ures are given out by Edward W. Par
ker, coal statistician of the survey, with
the statement, however. that the coal
mining industry in 1913 lacked any spec
tacular features, the increase, in other
words. being normal and an index of
the general industrial activity of the
country. OF this increase about 4,500,-
600 tons was in the production of am
thraeite and the rest in the output of
the bituminous coal mines.
There were few labor disturbances
in 1913, but they were local in extent
and effect. The most pronounced labor
disafTection was in Colorado. where a
general strike was called about the mid
die of September, and coal production
in that state during the last quarter of
the year was but little more than 80
per cent. os normal. There was general
complaint, particularly in the eastern
states, of shortage of labor and inabil-
ity on the part OF the operators to keep
their mines working at full capacity.
This was probably the reason for less
than the usual complaint of the made
quate or insufficient transportation serv-
ice. Coal mining, like all other indus
tries in the Ohio valley states. was Sc
riously interfered with by the floods in
that region during the spring of 1918.
