Editorial Opinion
THE FALL OF BEERsHEBA.

From the New York sun.
The capture Of Beersheba, or Birel-
seba, was effected at night. Australian
cayalrymen and British afoot attacked
after a stern day long fight The
infantry had made night marches Of
exceptional length. and we are told that
at the end they tore down wire en-
tanglements with their hands. The
British correspondent with the Pales-
tine army pictures the scene vividly:
Just as the moon rose over the
Judea hills the Australian horse charged
with bayonets on their rifles, over
whelming the Turks and gallopins
cheering into the town. Wave
followed wave until long before the last
line had reached the trenches the ma
chine gun and rifle fire had withered
away"
Whether Beersheba received its name
from the well dug by Abraham ia wit
ness his alliance with Arimelech, King
Of Gerar, or because Of the well dug by
Abraham's sons servants is not plain.
Here Abraham was commanded TO
sacrifice Isaac, here Esau was robbed
Of his birthright, here Jacob offered
a sacrifice on his journey into Egypt.
The sons OF Samuel were Judges in
Beersheba and Elijah fed to the town
after Staying the prophets Of Baal and
mourning the deadly hatred Of the wife
of King Ahab.
Under the Romans Beersheba became
a market town garrlsoned by nlyrian
and Dalmatian troops.
The seven wells which were so i'm
portant to the ancient Beersheba are
in service today The town lies in the
desert Of Judah, an arid plateau of soft
white limestone crossed by a great
valley. It is flfty-two miles from
Jerusalem. Some anxiety was mani
tested before the British attack about
water for the horses. but the taking of
the town enabled the Australian
cavalrymen to water their mounts
from the springs uncovered In the age
when life was patriarchal and pastoral
but no more peaceful and idyllic to the
living than now.

Pools in a New Light

THERE is something almost bizarre in the
spectacle of the government of the United
States urging-almos: demanding indeed
those industrial pools and consultations that
have been SO frequently the object Of Federal
prosecution. There is something even more
remarkable in the acclaim with which the
people of the United States greet the sue
cessful consummation, in the matter Of the
coal industry, of the governments efforts.
Combinations in restraint OF trade are de-
nounced by the law of the land, and men have
paid fines and some have even incurred Jail
sentences for this laws violation. Had the
coal operators of the country for example
agreed few years ago to pool their output
and fix prices. they would have aroused one
universal howl of execration. District at
torneys special agents Of the Department
of Justice, grand juries, judges. petit juries
and penitentiary wardens would have dealt
with them in turn. while the people, with
thumbs down. would have cheered on the
chase.
Announcement from Washington that Sweep
ing reductions in the price Of bituminous coal
at all mines east Of the Mississippi River
were agreed on to-day at conferences
between the operators and government Of
icials" excites nothing but admiration.
Secretary of the Interior Lane tells the
operators that they deserve to be looked on
OF the United States.
1t Is quite true that combinations to re-
duce the price Of commodity have been in
troduced to the American people in the past
only through the imaginative writings of
press agents of the Standard OIL Company
and similar businesses. The purpose Of COM
binatons usually has been to increase prices
"a circumstance sufficient in itself to &C.
count for such mergers unpopularity. But
the underlying principle is the same, even
in the view of the law 1t Is the combina-
ton, and not the effect on the market that
the law denounces.
The fact Is as Mr.. Hoover has pointed
out in relation to food. that the economic
law Of supply and demand has lost It's bal
ance wheel and, therefore. refuses to func-
ton An artificial balance wheel must be
supplied, either. as In the case OF food, by
a Federal statute. or. as in the case of coal,
by an agreement among the operators in the
industry. under Federal guidance and super
vision.
What the agreement will accomplish for
the consumers OF coal need not be left to
the imagination. The savings in the coal
bills OF the American people for the next
year will certainly be more than s2Oo.o0o,-
900. The great industrial establishment and
the individual householder will share in this
benefit. The agreement to pool output and
fill orders practically from the common sup
ply will result In permanence of employment
for all those engaged in coal production. 1t
will facilitate transportation. 1t will assure
a ready market. If the operators sacrifice
some of their prospective profits they gain
the good will of the American people-and
that is business asset worth good many
fortunes.

NorthclifYe the Co.Ordinator

IT has been suggested, somewhat I'M
gracously, that the British government
selected Lord Northcliffe to head what may
be called the British working mission to
this country in order to relieve itself Of his
criticism. That view is not to- be accepted.
The British government and people realize
that Northcliffes constructive criticisms have
been Of great value. Northcliffe was selected
because he is great co-ordinator in his own
business, and because governments know that
only business methods on a vast scale Of
coordination can be effective against the
most highly organized nation of history
