DOnGING COAL CONTROL

Coal dealers in some parts Of the
country have been announcing that re-
tail prices will remain just the same,
despite the governments action because
they are loaded up with contracts for
six months ahead on the old coal basis,
and the government can't interfere with
those contracts"
These dealers are treading oR1danger-
Gus ground The public naturally sus-
poets, rightly or wrongly, that they are
seeking a false pretext to keep up prices
and protect their swollen profits, But
whether they're honest about it or not
the dealers needn't imagine that either
the public or the government is going
to postpone until next summer the re-
duction of prices on our winter coal.
In a time like this, public need is
superior to private contracts. Regard
less of past agreements. the fuel must

TINE AND THE CHILD.

There are certain sorts of public
building which a community may well
forego during the war. The new city
hall and county court house can wait
a while. Officials can put up with their
crowded and uncomfortable quarters
until labor and material are easier to
obtain. They can charge their discom-
fort to patriotism and make virtue of

ments is a different matter.
In some cases, perhaps, the building
of new schools may be justifiably de-
layed. But these are rare. And in no
case should wartime economy be made
the excuse for not raising teachers sal
aries, for omitting TO hire the educa.
tional specialist, the school nurse. the
school doctor. In no case should il
serve to excuse any omission which
will affect the minds, bodies or souls
of the children today.
Grown people may wait for things
But the child who is six years old now
will never be six years old again Nor
will nine, nor eleven nor fifteen pass
his way again. In each period Of q

bonds. He didn't trust the government.
While he basked upon the shining
sands at Coney Island a pickpocket
deftly removed the roll. He hurriedly
reported the loss to the police-who
probably. will not be able to recover it
for him.
There is a pretty good case here for
the people who believe that fear and
hope alike attract their objects Had
the man felt security and trust about
his money he would have had it today.
Because he feared its loss he lost it.
There is also the lesson which all
such occurrences hold for the misers
and the worriers. The savings bank
would have held the money safely, paid
interest on it, and kept it in useful circu'
lation. The government would have
borrowed ii to use in throwing mantle
of protection about the man and his
community 1t would have paid inter
est on this loan, and Stood with all its
resources, back of its security.
But pocket or an old stocking or a
black bag under the mattress does none
of these things. 1t keeps the money
idle and in constant jeopardy. And if il
becomes known that the man earns
saves, but does not deposit or invest
his savings, the fact endangers his life
and safety of his home.
On the whole, one is almost inclined
to sympathize with the pickpocket. Al
least he will circulate the coin.

Some interesting things will happen
in the circles of party organizations in
this country, when the war is over, is
the prediction OF students Of politics.
Men of distinction in politics will change
from one party to another. Some Bull
Moosers will return to the Republican
party and some will go over to the
Democracy. Some Republicans will be
come Democrats and some Democrats
will become Republicans. II is certain
that the war will create new issues and
a political condition as confused as tha,
at the close of the Civil war.
