ELECTRICITY IN EDEN.
Too prene ere we to dwell OF

Too prone ere we to dwell on
the devastations of war. Therefore,
it is good news to read, that the
British are installing modern improve
bents in the Garden of Eden. Two
railway lines, electric lighting, cleo
trio railways, wharves and system
OF drainage are but a few of the
twentieth century gifts which the
land where our first parents made
their researches into apples and SER
pentology.
In less than two years British &C.
cupation has transformed Lower Mes
opotamia into something approach!
ing a paradise" we are informed in
a booklet published in England The
population of Busrah has enormously
increased and the inhabitants never
have been so well off. Excellent
wharyes have been erected, and every
creek has been bridged in this Ven
ice of the East Numbers of roads
have been made, electric lights in
stalled, electric trains in operation
and thousands of men have repaired
the banks of the river Euphrates.
For the first time in centuries there
have been no pernicious foods this
year in Lower Mesopotamia. Two
railway lines are spreading away to
the north; an embankment twenty
miles long has recovered for agri-
cultural purposes an area of As
square miles, where wheat fields, veg
etable gardens, dairy farms and poul-
try farms, all under the care of pro-
fessional farmers from India, are adj
eQuately providing for the needs of
the British forces in Mesopotamia and
,
preparing to send food supplies to the
British Isles
If war is rapidly making a desert
Of some Of the faire6t lands it is at the
same time making the site our ancient
Paradise as snug, as comfortable and
rs commonplace as a county in Lower
Michigan. The fact that it is rather
diverting to think of electric lights in
the garden of Adam and Eve is insig-
nificant beside the bigger fact that at
least one spot in the world is being
bettered instead of ruined because OF
the war. What more appropriate than
that the cradle of mankind should have
this distinction?

We MUST HAVE COAL.

There is no lack Oh coal resources
N this country. NIrJualiy every large
section mas supplies within easy ship
distance What is lacking Is ader
quate mining, proper distributing, COZ
Uperauon between coal admmIsua-
tors. respectable stock OF patriot
ISM in the coal trade.
Seeing what has been done toward
solving the alarming food problem,
what difficulties have been overcome
i'll meeting the tremendous demand for
for iron and steel, what wonders of
organization and cooperation were
performed in order that the National
Army cantoments could be construct
ed in time, it is absurd 10 say that
that nation cannot do as well in the
treatment of the coal situation.
Coal operators declare that they
are suffering from the want of la
Dor. Doubtless that is true. Nearly
all industry is justified in making that
complaint But the operators own
reports TO the government betray the
working days than any other produc-
ing business i'll the United States.
There Use bound TO be labor difficulties
IN any trade which cannot or does
not provide continuous work and the
means for an American standard OF
living. Have the operators ever tried
to remedy the situation by accepting
low profits on high tonnage instead
of high profits on a low tonnage?
| The payment for a false economic sys-
TEN is made with compound interest
at such = season as this.
AS long ago as last May, steps
were taken to meet the coal shortages,
to organize a. better distribution,
Signs are not lacking that failures at
achievement are to be blamed on the
coal trade While people in other
lines wer trying to adjust themselves
to radically altered conditions. much
Of the trade adopted a reactionary
attitude. We were shown last sum-
mer a technical periodical which open
ly urged the testing Of government
control in the courts. How much
that attitude is responsible for the
present Affections perhaps no one can
say. But there is justic in saying
that without an honest spirit no work
can be carried out competently.
Let no one believe that the nation
involved in a terrible war, is going to
be patient with incompetence, a sui
len hpirit, a determination ia Capita
lie human suffering and Industrial
needs into unearned and undeserved
profits. The government will not,
if it can help it, step in and run the
coal mines, use its own personnel to
transport and divid fuel supplies.
But if nothing else will serve as a
remedy, the government will go the
whole hog, Every every century
cid policy, every venerable convict
ion, will be jettisoned that acts as
drag on the prosecution of war. For
in this war it is not domestic policy
which is al stake, but national saliva
ton.

Companies d and | Will Go

FAREWELLS PLANN ED
Several Local Units Will Go

Instead of the yelling crowds that
usually occupy the field on Island
Park at this time of the year, long,
orderly rows of tents, the quarters
of Companies d and l. will greet the
passersby.
1t was decided last evening to
make the island the headquarters
of both companies until they are
mustered into Federal service. Prior
permission had been given by Coun-
ell. Just how long the companies
will stay on the island is not known,
but it is not expected to be more
than fifteen days. They will go from
there TO concentration camps in the
South before leaving for France.
Colonel Finney last evening issued
regimental orders, effective Monday
morning. First call will be sounded
at a. m. and from that time until
1890 p. m, the boys in khaki will
not have much time to loaf.

some time ago for the improvement
of the extension district" said George
A. Shreiner Superintendent of Pub

There are many things to be done
and to be settled very soon, but we
are going ahead as directed by the
Governor yesterday and before long
the outlines of the park will be ap-

that he would sign the $350,000 ap-

with pleasure all over the city. II

trict and start landscaping. THE
tract should be cleared at once"
said the Governor. and State Treas
urer Kephart and Auditor General
Snyder agreed. Mr.. Snyder said,
after the meeting: I'VE have made
the appropriation for this work and
it might as we'll be started"
The action of the Board affected
the state more than anyone else, as Vt
must move a dozen or more offices
by August Is. The order will have
little effect on the Governors Troop
as it will be in Federal service in
a week and its temporary armory
and stables for its thirty-two mounts
will be vacated by August 1 any
way.
One of the Hebrew congregations
will move August 8, and arrange
ments are being made by the other
to secure temporary meeting place.
