THE COAL PROBLEM

The daily press tells of strike in
the coal mines of this state. This is
what we have been expecting and
so complexities the coal situation as to
render it still more serious to the peo-
pie. There is one way and but one
way in which the people of this state
can hope to obtain coal at reasonable
prices. That is to have the product
of the State coal mines placed upon
the market in Tennessee. We are
told that the state is running behind
fully three-quarteTs of million dol
lars in revenue each year, and that
to remedy this Gov. Rye is to call the
General Assembly together for the
purpose of enacting needful legisla-
ton. Why not enough representative
citizens to forcefully present the sub
ject to the Governor. get together
and induce him to include in the call
for an extra session the subject of
relief from the existing coal situation?
Surely the people Of Tennessee, in
the midst of the richest coal mines
in the world, are not going to permit
the existing condition to continue.

If guest in a burning house should
hang back and refuse to take part in
any effort to subdue the flames or
rescue furnishings from destruction
on the ground that it was mo affair
of his" his conduct would be prop
erly subject to criticism. 1t would be
eXecrable if in some way he profitied
by the blaze. There are at present
a million aliens in the United States.
They have taken advantage of our
liberal institutions, and have prosper
ed by applying their energies to the
opportunities afforded on every hand
in America They have equal advan-
t2ge5 with native sons, and now that
a large number of the native sons
have been called to the colors they
will be in position to exploit the
patriotism and self-sacrfice of Ameri-
cans. This disposition is already APP
parent among those who find it easier
to obtain employment at a more liber-
al wage than could be obtained before
a state of war was declared. There
is just one way to meet this issue,
and it should be met fairly and square
ly at the outset. Aliens have no moral
right to evade the draft; and they
should have no legal right except the
alternative of expatriation. If those
who have settled among us prefer re-
turning to their own countries and
serving in their own armies, well and
good; they should have the option.
But if they elect to remain in Ameri-
ca they should be forced to take up
arms in defense of those liberties
which attracted them to these shores
provided they are of military age
and physically fit. Any other solu-
ton of the problem of alien residence
would be a discrimination against cur
own people and favoritfsm toward a
nOn-citizen who would profit enorm-
Ously by the very sacrifices from
which they would be exempt.

GERMANY EXPECTS WAR
First American Life That Is Lost in Unrestricted Submarine Warfare

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. -"Sever- anee of dipoImatie relations between the United States and Germany can be followed by nothing else than war. This has always been my con- vIctlon."

SAY HAVE X HEART

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 5.--The Leip- sic Neueste Nachrichten. comment. iug on the speculation Of the New York stock exchange at the time of the issuance of Preyident Wilson's note. under the heading of The Washington Scandal" says:
 What interests us most in the scandal so characteristic of Ameri- can adroitness in making dollars out of a horrible slaughter by rust ling peace palms, is the searchlight falling on national institutions and Administration. The war shows anew what peace taught 10 us a hundred times-Jup!tcr Mammon is' the real ruler of tho constitutions and which, SO far as stay-at-home Germans their free constitutions and which, 80 far as they are linked with our ene- mics, talk to us of their aim to lib. crate us from militarism and monar- chy and offer to bless us with their patented liberties. Germany declines with thanks the offer to improve us.
 Though there may be many re- spects in which VIC need reform, and are susceptible of improvement, the Inner purity and unassailability of our monarchial government raise it high above the pseudo Democratic. Republican production, and cause us to thank God that we remain pro- tected from this all too Western progress"
