WINTERS GRIP-AND COAL

DH1LADELPHIA In the grip of an early
and unusually severe winter brings tho
coal problem home. Fireless furnaces and
coalless bins have passed from theory to
n condition. Distress has been borne on
the boreal blasts of the north wind, and
so long as the wind Is in that quarter dis.
trcss will continue and increase. The
condition must be met and the distress re-
duced. The very beginning of winter is the
logical time to plan effectively. We can.
not wait till production at the mines Is less.
ened on account of the weather and trans.
portation is more difficult for the same
reason. Set against the facts of an early.
hard winter and weather forecasts that
promise scant IL any rise In temperature
those of marked coal shortage and steady
recession of mining in the last fortnight
and the problem of present and future
suffering is undenlably and acutely pre-.
sented.
Relief is due now. Is there enough coal
for immediate relief? The Anthracite Bu-
reau of Information shows statstically that
shipments to Philadelphia for the first
eleven months of 1917 were 100000 tons
more than the sum total of 1916. The di.
is mostly psychological Many persons are
finding it physical How will relief be
effected? This is the business of the fuel
administration, to which the public has
pinned its faith. Earlier tolerance, that
recognized difficulties of organization of
ordered distribution out of n chaotic sys.
tenn, is passing into active criticism, now
that organization has had time enough for
effectual operation to begin. Tho Govern
ment has taken notice. too, as tho Senate
yesterday passed a resolution for nation
wide probe into coal conditions.
So far as is known, coal Is not being
sent abroad. Fewer ships are using coal
and there are fewer bottoms TO carry it.
Reports of the Geological Survey show
recordbreaking anthracite production for
1917. 1t is now up to the fuel administration
to show results The people at home must
not be burdcncd with unnecessary hard
ships. United in a vast industrial plant
behind the fighting lines. whose support,
output and resources are imperative for
winning the war, their working and living
conditions must be made as bearablo as
possible.

SAUNDERS INSTITUTE

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Willam II. FELTON, stated in your
paper that Governor Pennypacker had In his
autobiography located Saunders Institute on
Thirty-fifth street, and suggested that 1t was
a mistake.
In 1862 attended Saunders Institute, on
Thirty-ninth street, where Gas Mr. FELTON,
says) now stands the first building OF the
Presbyterian Hospital.
Tie house facing Filbert street was the
residence of tho Rev. Professor Saunders,
whose property included a field extending
from lrilbert street to Powelton avenue,
along Saunders avenue, on which the cadets
drilled. When President Lincoln called for
troops the professors son. Courtland Saund-
ers, enlisted, and on September 20, 1852, he
was killed at Shepherdstown (battle of Antie-
tam) and we (the cadets) wore crepe on our
arms for thirty days.
Professor Saunders was lame. and with his
cane he went day after day to the horse cars
on Market street, at Thirty-ninth street, and
rode to sixth, many times and back again,
addressing the passengers on each trip and
taking hundreds Of men to the tables on the
pavement in front of Independence Hall.
where they enlisted in the Union League
regiments.
Governor Pennypacker may have confused
Saunders Institute with Hastings Academy
at the southeast corner OF Thirty-ifth street
and Powelton avenue. To that academy l
went in 1868, and was appointed second
lieutenant of the Hastings Cadets.

Hatred Must Die Down

Tho present upheaval has brought out that
there is Il Celtic as well as a Latin and a
Teutonic and Slavic group In Europe. This
leads me to the criticism of Sim Fen as
being too introspective. There is rigor-
ously defined duty toward Ireland, but there
is no proper adjustment of foreign policy
The first duty of an Irish native Government
will be to come to an understanding based
on other motives than hatred with their
neighbors.
At the present moment the convention Is
likely at any moment to produce a result in
which case the Sim Fein will no longer have
any excuse to stand out. At present II may
be said that they prefer to sit I'm the cart
and ply the whip rather than Join in the
work of pulling the show along. 1t may be
that they hope to get it further and faster
on it's path. They probably realize that the
convention does not dare to be unsuccessful
and that the more they demand the further
will the convention sweat and strain. Pres.
sure from America, irony from Russia and
satire from Germany have all had their effect
out of the Sim Fein nucleus must pro-
coed a new party but II must not be de-
structiye OF all opposition. What is needed
IA a restoration of balance, compromise be-
tween the two tendencies that are essential
10 all constitutional government. Let the
Sinn Fein develop the radical side Let them
he brought down out Of the air by the respon-
sibility of Office and II they can carry a ma
iority let them rise from the level of reckless
faction to tnat OF u CONSTRUCTIVE party,
them develop a radical party. while the REM
nants of previous parties together with church
and land interests form a conservative but
not less patriotic opposition In tho new Duh
lin Parliament. 1t takes two parties to reg,I-
late a constitution and Ireland possesses the
makings OF both The moment that the con-
vention lays a result on the table. the Sim
Fein are bound to take their seats. AT its
