GARFIELD MAKES STATEMENT
TO OPERATORS AT PITTSBURGH
Fuel Administrator Declares Nation
Has Right to Act-Uraes Mine Own
ers TO Aid in War on Kaiser.

Pittsburgh. Pa, oct. 24.-Harry a.
Garfield. national fuel administrator,
addressing coal producers from every

field conferred with Joseph i. Guffey,
national petroleum administrator; W..
X. Field president of The National
Coal association, and David W. Kuhn,
Pittsburgh fuel director, before adj
dressing the operators.
Mr.. Garfield made no reference in his
address to any possible increase in coal
prices 10y the government ar to the de-
mand of miners in the Pennsylvania
and Ohio fields for increased wages.
"As n generation of men" said Mr.
Garfield. 1--WE have been trained In the
rights of peace and resent any suggeS-
ton that the government can reach out
and take hold of our interests We are
now a people at war. Is ii any more
violent that the government should
reach out and take our sons from our
homes and place them in grave danger
and even demand sacrifice of life in
maintenance of a principle our presi-
dent has laid down? Is it more violent
that our president should take over
our wealth? The government has that
right.
Il propose TO produce fuel for the
home and the factory in greater guam
tity than ever. ! want you to set aside
your competitive differences, make
momentary sacrifices and stand behind
the president In this time of emer-
gency."

ONE KIND OF AMERIcANIsM.

Scientists do their work aloof from the gen
eraI knowledge and inspection of their fellow
men: it is q work that touches the man in the
street AID IN the home at every step IN these
latter days but the work OF the scientist Is OBJ
scured by the concrete product in which il
lives The war has conferred attention on the
scientists because they are so much needed to
plan the means of making things we must
have But it is the habit Of humans to soon
forget the worker when the work is done. A
few names are familiar to the public but the
many contributors TO a scientific movement are
either unknown or quickly forgotten But the
happy; there Is in the reach to new discoveries,
in the making of something ont of materials
which have not before been used by means OF
pure inventiveness, the JOY of the hunter in his
successful quest. Moreover, the JOY is greatest
when shared by all people. The generositles OF
science probably are the greatest humanitarian
contribution Of all time.
We have fine example Of this in the gift
by the Doctors Mayo, of Rochester, Mimi, of
their entire fortune to the state in which they
live. These two great, men, who have been
pathfnders in surgery and skilled practicers OF
it az an art, now give the proceeds Of their life
work that it may be productive of skill and
discovery by others. This is one of the kinds
of Americanism that we want to foster. 1t Is
one Of the best outcomes of the opportunity
that this country gives, of which we talk so
much but which we practically appreciate all
too little.

Be Careful in Using

What Made This Man Drop Liquor.

WDdt mSCc ] MS man OTop Liquor.
A write rim the American Maya
zine says:
"a day after the operation when
my chances of life seemed assured,
l was suddenly seized with racking
pains-which came to look for and
fight for a long time afterward At
the doctors order, a nurse came to
my bedside with bromide mixed
in whisky glass full of brandy. /
could scarcely wait until she covered
the intervening inches-I was afire
with the desire for that drink
snatched it from her hand and In
my eagerness spilled drop and
swore under my breath. My wife
rose in white horror and laid
trembling hand on my arm. She
simply uttered my name-and as
turned impatiently l was conscious
of distinct shock. In her young
face was mirrored all the agony she
had endured through this thing
was about to gulp with lips that
shook at the momentary delay, and
in her voice was som thing that
crashed through my booze and pain
racked being to hit the last spark of
manhood that had somehow survived.
The nurse and doctor watched US
with indulgent interest. They saw
only the tableau-not the thing be-
hind it."

kornIIoff is a Patriot, Too.

Cedar Rapids Republican: We
should not assume that KorniIoff Is
bad man for Russia, or that he
wants Russia destroyed or even be-
trayed. He is simply the case of a
man who wants a firm policy adopted,
who wants TO put an end to the sense
less socialistic ideas that every one
can be on parity in the army as In
politics. In the army there must be
discipline and obedience and that is
what Korniloff and most other sol
diers are insisting on. Whoever wins
In that internal shrugged he will have
to reduce Russia to basis of obedi-
ence before much progress can be
made against Germany. 1t is Ger
many that is most benefited at the
present time by the socialistic state
Of the Russian nation.

THE ANONYMOUS LETTER WRITER.

Newspapers as well as public officials and
sometimes and women in private life re-
ceive anonymous letters. These communica-
tons, whose authorship is concealed, almost
invariably have cowardice written all over the
face Of them. The writer's have not the courage
to come out into the open and stand sponsor
for what they write. These letters usually
are severely critical of something or some
body; sometimes they are abusive and some
Of them are threatening Those which are Sc
verely critical are negligible. The person, the
newspaper or the institution against which
they are directed treats them with the contempt
their anonymity deserves. If the same crit
cism were made openly and candidly, it would
receive consideration.
The abusive anonymous letter stamps the
writer as a coward, else he would not hide his
identity behind the abuse which he dares not
utter openly. The threatening anonymous let
ter should go Immediately into the hands of
police and prosecuting authorities and the crav-
en- guilty of writing hunted down, if possible,
and punished for the good of society
No really brave honest-hearted person would
be guilty Of act so reprehensible as writing
an unsigned letter in criticism or abuse of any,
body or any institution. The sentiment that
cannot be sponsored openly should be left m
uttered.

German blow, while France was unprepared;
yet unless the truth was told the chamber OF
deputies would not make the huge appropria-

desired Thereafter in the next four months
four French ministries each confronted the
same difficult situation and each in its turn
was baffled by it and driven out Of power.

Cedar Rapids Republican: They
may call it shirt sleeve diplom acy"
in Europe, but it is common sense
and common honestq The people of
America do not believe in transacting
the states business in secret They
are willing to know the worst as
well as the best. If they had had
more of that kind of diplomacy In
Europe the world would not be in
the fix it is in now. When half a
dozen men behind closed doors can
make and unmake nations and the
peace of the nations, something is
apt to go wrong. Let's thank God
that the United States is setting the
example of a nations business being
transacted on the level, open and
above board.

interesting, if the congress could see
its way clear to SO extend the scope

many of that class would agree TO
quit it-and to stay quit.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: It began

per cent of the coal usually bought

the consumer is advised to save two
tons out of the ten How gladly. how

has paid fuel bills for many years,
does not waste coal and II he effects
a raving of five per cent this winter,
