Dirty Streets
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDlIOh 111E IlMEO.
In a communication to our daily
papers, Ray F. Carter, representa-
tive of the war department COM
mission on training activities, calls
attention to the need of better d.
rections for finding the city streets
and adds:
Now that Tacoma is overflow
ing with strangers, most of whom
want to know where they are, 1t
would only be courteous to render
this first-aid to sightseers and new
residents"
This is only one of many in
stances of our municipal bad man
ners which need to be corrected.
We presume our visitors might
feel some delicacy in calling atten-
ton to the filthy condition OF our
downtown streets at the present
time, which as matter OF fact
resemble pig-stys rather than the
streets of decent, civilized COM
munity.
Probably the city is short of
money, but 1t is certainly a poor
place to economize to allow the
main thorofares of the city to pre-
sent the disgraeeful appearance
they did during the Labor Day pa
rade-littered with big and little
bits of paper, discarded cigar and
cigaret butts and dirt and rubbish
of all kinds, in addition to the
grease and CRIME from the auto
mobile traffic.
There Is a city ordinance
which prohibits storekeepers
frcm sweeping the dirt and
rubbish from their storts out
ON the sidewalk, but evidently
little or no attention Is paid
to this ordinance.
AS cleanliness, tidiness, neat
ness and sightliness are among the
main essentials of military life

COAL MEN
MUST TOE
THE LINE
BY ellison Gardner

WASHINGTON,-D. c., Sept. s
In the work of fixing Goa
prices, Controller Harry CARTEL,
has decided as follows:
That prices at the mine
shall be elastic, subject to re-
vision IL 1t becomes necessary
to revise them upward In or
der to give more wages to.
miners and to avoid strikes;
That he will appoint a COM
mittee, to be made up In
equal numbers of representa-
tives of coal operators, or
gained coal miners and coal
carrying railroads; this COM
mittee merely to advise him
and to have no vote; he to
decide all questions after con-
sultation with this committee.
Frank Peabody probably will
represent the OPERATORS John
=. White the organized min
ers, and II. s. Lovett the
railroads.
That any effort to oppose
the orders of the government,
acting thru the coal controll-
en-, by appeal to the courts or
by refusal to do business,
will be followed by actual
communicating of the mines.
Before communicating is re
sorted to. Garfield may try out {
plan of licensing coal producers
This would give the government
an easy way sto compel obedi
ence to orders.
elf every operator knew that h
would have to sell at q fixet
price, and in quantities REASONABLE!
required, or lose his license, h,
would likely obey. Price fixini
at the mines, In the case of mos
mines, furnishes not merely a nor
NAL, but a handsome profit on al
operation. Where mining is NOR
expensive owing to hardness o
rock or added costs, the govern
ment is prepared to allow an in
crease in price.
The coal problem as confronted
by Controller Garfield has re
solved itself into three problems
First, getting labor and
keeping 1t satisfied;
Second, getting sufficient
coal cars delivered at the
mine;
Third, eliminating the
speculative middleman and in
ducipg the mine operator to
furnish retailers with suffi-
cient coal at reasonable
prices.

REGATTA TO BE
CALLED OFF IN
EVENT OF WAR
Decision is Reached at Meet
ing of Stewards of Inter
collegiate Rowing Assn.
(By Associated Press.l

New York, March 29.-Formal an
nouncement was made yesterday that
the intercollegiate regatta scheduled
for Thursday, June 81, at Poughkeep-
sic would be declared off in case of
war. This decision was reached at
the meeting Of the board Of stewards,
at which the situation was considered
from the viewpoint of both the par
ticipating colleges and the associa-
ton. At the conclusion Of the confer
ence. the following statement was is
sued:
The board Of stewards of the Inter
collegiate Rowing association at a
meeting, decided in view of the almost
universal response of the rowing men
of the various iversities-practically
the entire squads of Cornell, Pennsyl-
vania and Columbia having affiliated
themselves with some military or
naval organization-that if congress
declares war no course can be Consid-
cred except to call off the intercol-
legiate regatta at Poughkeepsie. In
fact with war declared it appears
doubtful If any of the great rowing
features will be held this year.
while 1t is extremely doubtful II
the intercollegiate regatta is held this
year the board of stewards has voted
TO extend tentative invitations to Cali
fornia, Stanford, Syracuse, Princeton,
Washington and Wisconsin to compNte
in the Poughkeepsie regatta if the
same should be held.

was proposed and said he thought it
would be a convenient and useful me-

questions Of interest between Japan
and the United States, more especially
those involving the, issue of race. He
thought, Also 1t would afford means
for a more frequent and less formal
intercourse between Japanese and
Americans.
Ambassador Guthrie, in a speech
which was applauded, expressed the
opinion that the new organization
would fill an important and useful
place. He believed 1t desirable, he said,
that more emphasis be placed on the
points in which Japan and the United
States are alike and that less stress
be laid upon the ways in which the two
peoples are alleged to be different. He
referred to the occasional irresponsible
and petty utterances, sometimes mis-
chievous, Of which too often people
were inclined to make mountains. He

Toxic. March 29.--Although there
exist many organizations in. Japan in
which Americans and japanese have
an active membership there has never
been formed an association which
would serve as a general link between
the two peoples. That void now has
been filed by the formation of an
American Japanese association to

questions which concern Japan and the
United States.
Viscount Kentarot Kaneko, OF the
privy council, presided at the organ

about fifty representative Japanese and
Americans. The Japanese included
Baron Shibusawa. Baron Sakatani, Mr..

Just where candidates for the Fargo

when the weather permits outdoor
workouts is question that is troub-

officials at the college. The stadium,
present indications are, will not be in

the water which is seeping from the
hill onto the field. No other field,
close to the college, is available at this
time.
The campus, south of the college
buildings, can be used, and probably
will be used for practice, but is too
small for real work.
Light practice is under way in the
gymnasium with fifteen men working.
