COAL AT so A TON.

The tragedy of a nation lies be-
hind the news dispatches announcing
that in Italy coal is selling at $40 a
ton. The statement suggests some re-
Elections upon the effects Of the war,
with its blockades, ship seizures and
increases in sea-freight rates, upon
one of the partners in the quadruple
entente
A large part of the people of Italy
even in normal times are too near to
poverty for comfort. Under the pres
ent stress it may be safely assumed
that the specter of want is knocking at
many a door. from the sOuthernmost
tip of Sicily to the northernmost bor-
der of the kingdom.
Before the war, England, in addi-
tion to America, was the source of the
bulk of Italy's coal supply. In the
present crisis English coal has been
cut off, because England is conserv-
ing her resources even at the expense
of her ally, and one reason why coal
is selling at $40 a ton in Italy is the
enormous increase in ocean freight
rates.

LOST 4 FORTUNE.

Chicago, February 2S-In the
course of testimony in an unimportant
civil suit here today it appeared that
the Chicago club of the Federal
League lost about $4,000 during the
season OF 1914.
The suit was filed by James L. Sher-
lock, a stakeholder in the Federal
League, as it existed in 1913, against
the new Federal League which devel-
oped in 1914, with James A. Gilmore
as president, and which in 1915 de-
clared itself major league.
Thomas w. Gilmore, secretary to
Charles Weeghman, who controlled
the Chicago club in the Federal
League in 1914-1915. gave the testi-
mony as to money lost in 1914. As
Sherlock's case was for $1,000 to have
been paid him in case the club made
money in 1914, Gilmore's testimony as
to a deficit brought about a nonsuit of
the case.

BUYING GOOD HOGS
Several Nearby Farmers Stocking
Their Farms Preparatory To
Improving the Quality Of
Their Hogs.
Augusta Chronicle.)

Albert Byersdorfer and son, Wilbur,
of Brown county, o., opposite Au-
gusta, returned Tuesday from Wapa-
koneta, o., where they attended the
F.. o. Brown sale of Poland China reg
istered hogs Mr.. Byersdorfer said
that he was under the impression that
he had seen some good hogs in this
section, but after attending his sale
he has changed his mind. He saw a
21-months-old hog that weighed 925
pounds, and it was not done growing.
While at this sale he purchased two
Poland China sows, due to farrow the
early part of March, and he expects to
improve the quality of the swine in
this vicinity, provided the farmers
want to do so. He paid a fancy price
for these hogs and both are registered.
Mr.. Byersdorfer is a progressive and
up-to-date farmer and If more of our
people will follow his lead in this di-
rection much good will be accom-
plished. Vern Shinkle, also of Brown
county, o., during the past few days
received two fancy Hampshire hogs
male and female-both registered
which he will use for breeding.

SECRETARY LANE FINDS NO
ACTUAL SHORTAGE IN OIL
AND INTIMATES OTHER
CAUSE FOR HIGH
COST OF GAS
OLINE.

Washington, ID. C.--Contentions that
the prices Of gasoline are being main
tanned artifcially at their present I'M
precedented high level, and that the
big advance to the public is not due to
any actual shortage of the crude pro-
duct appear to be we'll substantiated
by the facts contained in the report
relative to production, consumption
and price of gasoline recently sub
mitted to the United States Senate by
Secretary Franklin X. Lane of the De-
partment of the Interior.
The report covers fifteen specific
questions contained in a resolution in
troduced by Senator McCumber and
passed by the Senate on January 10.
The twelfth question, which the sec
rotary han answered in detail, is of
special Significance What cause, if
any, can be given for the sudden eX-
traordinary rise in the retail price of
gasoline.
THAT a cause for the increased price
of gasoline and crude oil other than
any present shortage of crude oil must
be sought is shown by the report of
pipeline company storage in the APP
palachian, Lima-Indiana, Illinois and
Mid-continent fields" says the secre-
tary.
In ascrihing cause for the rise the
secretary mentions the depletion of
gasoline stocks due to increased do
nestle and export demands" and fur
Their says that "inquory today indi-
Gates that there is little gasoline in
storage" yet in the next section or
the report, after stating that certain
surplus crude stocks now being
drawn on "to steady the oil market
are controlled by the storage COM
panies and have been withdrawn from
the open market" the secretary de-
clares.
"Since these larger companies have
in fact larger stocks than year ago,
it follows that with them the short
age of gasoline-rich crude is at most
only threatened and to the extent that
these companies are using their 1915
surplus, the threatened shortage is
not yet a factor in increasing the cost
OF gasoline production"

WEAK ATTEMPT TO BEAT WILLIS

Columbus. o., February 28-Failing
to obtain the backing of influential
Republicans in their plan to oppose
Governor Willis as a member of the
Ohio Big Four" delegates at the Chi
Cago national convention, five dis
gruntled Republicans and a handful
of Democrats today selected Matt
CHASER of Cincinnati, DR.. S. o. Grit
fin of Columbus and r. w. Tyler, col
ored, of Columbus, as candidates for
Observation-Disclosures. Tyler is colored.
CHASER and Griffin filed their declar-
atoms of candidacy with the Secre-
tary of State lat this evening. Both
are disappointed patronage seekers.
Republicans in the conference, be-
sides CHASER and Griffin, were Lieu
tenant Governor Arnold and Charles
Gerrish of Columbus, friend of r. F,
Wolfe, local newspaper owner, and
the close friend of former Governor
Cox. Gerrish also is remembered as
the man who made the Standard Oil
affidavit" against Governor Willis dur
ing the last campaign. NJ. A. Harsh
ner, former Republican leader in Co.
lumbus, who, with Wolfe. has attempt
ed to build up an organization, also
was in the conference.
Wolfe, himself. although attempting
to conceal his interest in the plan to
discredit Governor Willis by having
him opposed for delegate-at-large to
the national convention, though known
to be the prime mover and the back
bone of the insurgents, did not trust
matters to his lieutenants, but spent
an hour in the conference rooms this
morning.
Among the Democrats who were in
vited into the conference were David
J. Rockwell of Ravenna, former
Building and Loan Inspector, and By
ron l.. Barger, Safety Director of Co
lumbia.
Effort was made to enlist the sup
port of various former leaders of the
Progressive party, but kilograms sent
to them failed to bring them to CO.
lumbus or to enlist them in the
scheme.
1t is understood that a number of
these Progressives answered that they
are in sympathy with the harmony
program and that they would have
nothing to do with the cabal. II is
known that much hope was expressed
in their ability to enlist c. L. Knight
Of Akron. but that they met with re-
buff.

Jefferson" HIou---the Best by Test
THE PRESIDENT SECRETARY
GARRISON AND THE PHIL
IPPINE LEGISLATION.


Lindlcy NJ. Garrison, in his opposi-
ton to the proposed Philippine legis-
lation. but voiced the views Of mil
lions of Democrats and Of nearly all
the Republicans of the United States.
Three-fourths of the voters of this
country do not believe that the Fill
ipinos are fitted for self-government,
and we are positive that these agree
with Mr.. Garrison, as the President
in his letter to the late Secretary of
War appeared to do, that the pro-
posed legislation is unwise.
As the President has the power to
veto unwise legislation, and has ad-
mitted that in his opinion this pro-
posed legislation is in that class, the
country will not accept his view that
it is unadvisablc for him to oppose it
if favored by both Houses of the Con-
gress.
No legislation reaches him for sig
nature but that which receives the
approval of both Houses of the Con-
gress.
The veto power was given him by
the nation for the very purpose OF
defeating unwise legislation.
Its purpose was plain; its use in
such cases beneficial, and how the
President can reconcile his duty to
the country when he deems it I'M
wise, with his failure to oppose it by
his counsel to the Democratic leaders,
and veto it if they should pass it, is a
momentous question between himself
and the electorate.
The people of the United States are
not in favor of giving the world an
other Haiti in the Philippines.
They are strenuously opposed to the
delivering over of those islands which
cost the nation so much treasure and
so many lives of gallant American SOL
diers to reformers of the type of Ag-
uinaldo, of Carranza, of Villa and
others who have been the called and
chosen of the idealists, who seem to
be clarifying anarchy and political
chaos under the name of liberty.
Nine. Roland's famous declaration
as she assembled the scaffold, vic
time of the Terrorists of France, "Oh,
Liberty, what crimes are committed
in thy name!" epitomized the Next
can policy of this administration and
now, while the whole world is sick az
heart at the human slaughter there,
the Democratic administration is
ready to open the door of the Phil
ippines to the same class of political
assassins who have made Mexico's en-
tire domain but bloody shambles.
We sincerely hope for the credit
and good name of this republic that
the President will reconsider his
statement as to the inadvisability of
his opposing this unwise legislation

Do you ever feel that you simply
can't 60 any further-that you must
have rest from that lame and aching
back-relief from the sonstant, dead
tired feeling-freedom from those

kidneys are worn and tired and need

blood and other waste created by ex-
penditure of strength and energy,
Naturally life of-unusual activity

in time the strain generally tells.

A German naval officer is authority
for the statement that sixty subma-
rines have been put in hand in Ger
man and Belgian yards since the out
break OF the war, OF these, twenty
four are of about $50 tons displace-
ment; twelve OF about 800 tons, and
twenty-four Of about 1900 tons. Ac-
oordlng to this authority, more than
'one-half have passed into service, and
this, at the time the statement was
made, gives an average rate of com
pletiOn of about two boats every three
weeks. AT the present rate of con-
structlon II would seem from these
figures that the German statement OF
their putting out one boat a week may
DO correct.

BOOzELESS CAR
FOR LADIES
Plainly Lighted Tanks win Not BE
Allowed To Ride On Special
Car, But NOn.Stcwed Gents
May Go As Escorts.
Huntington Herald.)

Boozeless cars for ladies' and mon
stewed" gentlemen escorts, will be
put on the interurban line of the
Ohio Valley Electric Railway Com
pany beginning next Monday.
This was announced yesterday fol-
lowing a conference between II. r.
Wylie, chairman of the Chamber of
Commerce committee on street car
extension and service, and II. S. New
ton, general manager of the street car
company.
The plan is practically as origin
ally announced some time ago at a
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
except that there will be no extra fare
for persons who ride on the boozeless
ears. The conductor on the ladies
special will discriminate in a diplo-
matte way, as among passengers and
he will allow no alcoholic tanks
aboard, at least if these tanks are
lighted up so as to be readily distin-
.guishable.
The first car will start at O'Clock
Monday morning and will make trips
every two hours. Later on if the pat
ronage warrants, the service will be
speeded up to a shorter interval
The service is expected TO be an
advantage to local merchants who de-
clare Kentucky ladies have been re-
ducing their visits to the local shops
because they did not want to ride on
a street car in too close proximity
with tanked personages.
