G\n LILLIAN eTl6bo M ADoo AVhW walks about Washington U ' with his hands in his pock- cts and his lips puckered for whistle. It is a habit of Newton D. Baker to ourl LID in an armchair and smoke briar pipe. Josephus Daniels, since sealing the political heights, IS as sim ole in his manner as when he edited a country newspaper. MT. Redheld, de- spite his formidable array of whiskers, offers an easy and comfortable ap- proach.
 There seems to be no question that in senses other than political, the members of President Wilson's cabi- net are democrats. It Is probably true that as ordinary individuals, subject to ordinary Authorizations, they swell sometimes with pride when, beyond the vision of spectators or while peep ing slyly into mirrors. they feel themselves big men. But in their everyday manner of procedure, their total lack of inane ponposity, their apparent indifference to the begulling whispers of those who fatter and would despoil-the cabinet officers are evidently unaffected by the bewitchlng chimes of revolving spheres.
 Republicans, during the waning hours of the last national campaign, charged that President Wilson had ir- reparably blundered in selecting the
 members of his official family. But men who profit from the lesson or the violet, which, despite its natural perfection, is subject each second to
 the destructive foot of laborer, can

the uncommon philosophy of simplic- ity.
 The cabinet officer perhaps of all his fellows less susceptible to glamor and pomp of state is William B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor, at present in Blr- mingham. He is here as the personal representative of President Wilson, who, as a result of legislation revo- lutionizing the American form Of gov ernment, is unquestionably the most powerful individual on the face of the globe. He is charged with the duty of attempting to compose industrial differences in a district on which the government in great part will depend for It's sinews of war. And yet MT. Wilson, without the sound of figura- tive trumpet, left Washington and, practically unheralded, certainly un- sung, arrived in Birmingham
 The few small boys who, made aware by local print, that a man "close to the President, would be the guest of the Tutwiler, fingered, in hope of feasting eyes on the earthly great, were shocked when Secretary Wilson, unaccompanied even by his personal stenographer, much less by military aides-when Secretary Wilson, in straw hat and gray frock coat-un- ostentatiously strode into the pas sageway

over and operate any mines falling to observe regulations prescribed. A cor poration similar to the wheat corpora tion of the food administration, was suggested tonight as a possibility to nrepare the government to handle the situation if the price fixing plan does not work out satisfactorily. The last re- sort under the law is government requisiting of the output of all mines and tho sale of 1t to the public. The organi- zation of an operating and purchasing corporation would provide all the ma chinery necessary to put the comman- deering provision of the law into opera ton.
 TANGLED PROBLEMS
 Fixing of retail prices presents tan gled problem. Handling costs are not the same in any two cities and flat gross margin that will assure equitable profits will be hard to fix. On the other hand a percentage profit plan would present even more difficulties because Of trouble in keeping track of bookkeeping methods.
 Some officials believe retail prices may be reduced by exposure of dealers who have been reaping exorbitant profits. AL ready the trade commission is publishing reports of its investigations in various cities, designed to show that in anthracite | particularly the retailer largely is to blame for high prices.
 NO ANTHRACITE COMPLAINT ] There has been virtually no complaint l of anthracite prices charged at the mines 1 since the producers and the trade commis- 1 sion agreed some months ago on a scale l of prices, but there has been no law under which jobbers and retailers could I be curbed, In fixing anthracite prices
 however, it was deemed essential that l prices be fixed at the mines as well as l elsewhere.
 I BIGGEST PROBLEM The biggest problem ahead of the coa l administration, as seen by officials wh' have studied the situation, is the labo I situation Thelgeneral reduction of prices in the bituminous fields probably mean
 that labor will be disappointed in man. requests for wage increases based on tn |i high prices producers have been receivini
 for their output.
 If there are strikes and production l
 reduced, the government can take ove

as grevious as any that could be committed in
free land.
AS for the men themselves, it is to be said that
they knew what they were doing, and also that
they had every warning. But they plunged
straight ahead, and ran past all danger signals.
Their idea seems to have been that they had the
city completely in their grip that escape for it
and punishment for themselves were impossible
Of their present unhappiness they are themselves
the sole authors. But it is of the system rather
than the men of whom the people should think It
they expect to safeguard themselves against such
outrages in the future It will perhaps not be
easy to revive the old and sound idea that the po
lice are the servants and not the masters of the
people. If elections must be crooked-and there
is no reason why they should bet is better to
have them crooked through private trckery and
corruption than through corrupt official control
We believe that the police of Indianapolis
have had their lesson. But there is a lesson for
the people, too, and one that should sink deeply
into their minds and consciences. They must
give more attention to their local affairs be very
careful as to the character and ability of the men
whom they elect to office, and hold them to a
strict accountability when they are in office.
There must be an assertion of the old spirit of lib
erty against official insolence and tyranny.
There are, we know, men in every city in this
country, not emitting ianapolis-often
wealthy and prominent men-and sometimes
newspapers, ever ready to support and praise an
administration from which they get favors
which they ought not to have, and can not enjoy
except at the expense of the general public But
a great evil has been eliminated, a great blight
lifted. The much-needed cleanup that we have
had here ought to have a purifying effect
throughout Indiana and the nation.-Indianap-
