board created to look after the inter
 ests of the city's police department there is no need of starting on new tactics that embody the very funda- metals of autocratic government. Anyway, we are not so sure that keeping the press out in tho cold will help matters at all There is always the danger of leak somewhere and then of grossly exaggerated stories. Let the boys see for themselves what is going on rather than have them chase up blind alleys for material upon which to work. The public do mands news. The public wants news. Above all it wants to know what is taking place when it's public officials are going to run things, how they gro going to expend it's monies. If the new police board is to be private affair the systsm might just as well be extended ell along the line. N should include all the other boards of the city And the common council. The press should not be allowed to know anything that is going on. The public should be kept ignorant.
 But this is not the idea of Mayor Quigley as judged from his late cam paign utterances Then he was ell for publicity. Then he was for lse- ting the people know everything that was taking place or that would take place. Pitiless publicity. As that was the slogan of President Wilson so, it was the slogan of Mayor QuigleyvsS7e are sorry to see our chief executive abandon the rudiments of democracy and take up the cloak of imperialism. It cannot be his fault entirely. Thsre must be some pernicious influence in back of 1t all. What is it? Where is it7 IL 1t the Kaiser?

CHEAPER COAL.

Tho coal operators were engaged in a very despicable business.-that of price boosting. Now that the United States Government has taken a hand in these operations and warned the coal dealers there is, happily, a promise for better conditions.
 The coal dealers have now pledged themselves to the authorities at Wash tngton to sell the output of the coal mines at fair and reasonable prices. All the coal interests anthracite and bituminous. have agreed to this pol icy of cooperation with the Federal Government. If they do not live up to their word, if they break the cove nant of honor, they will be forced at the point of legislation to give over their holdings and suffer government al interference. The government has been pressed by many interests to take over the production and dis tribution of coal. If the consumers had been forced to suffer much more at the hands of the operators there is little doubt that such movement would gain added impetus as the days of summer wane and the wintry blasts approach. Now ws are assured of reasonable prices on coal during the coming winter.

With NumeTOuS Other Franks. Editor of the Herald:
 Some of the youngsters in the east. ern part of the city persist still in ringing peoples door bells, and by the time the call Is answered, they have skipped by the light of the moon, and space only Is visible. while they no doubt are in hiding and laughing at the little joke they havo played on you.
 Flower beds that the lady of the house has spent a great deal of time on. are not forgotten by these young sters, until they have demolished nearly everything on it and only wish there were more of them. There Is another class of these kids looking for aims, they ring you down to your door, and fill your ears with pitfful and woe-begone tale. in hopes that you will go down in your jeans, and hand them a few niclxles. as this Is an old "gag" they fail to connect, and make their exit using language that would not look we'll in print. If few applications of the cat-o-nine tails were we'll applied to these youngsters, it would no doubt learn them a lesson long to be remembered.
