The Mystery of Coal.
Hartford, Conn, Courant. )


1t Is a curious thing that with more
coal dug out of the ground there is less
coal to be had. Take the annual re-
port for 1917 of the Delaware & Hud-
son company as an illustration. This
railroad company owns certain i'm
portant coal properties, and President
Lorce says in his report that the total
product from these properties last year
amounted to 8,643,000 tons, which is
2o2s per cent more than was got out
OF them during 1916. Last years sup
ply from these properties was 112l per
cent of tae total output last year of
all the Pennsylvania mines and washer
les. Yet with 20 per cent more got
out, in this particular and of course
limited instance, coal was at least 20
per cent harder for the consumer to
get.
President Loree leaves the mystery as
TO what became of this increased sap
ply unsolvcd, and he does not take
a cheerful view Of future sup
plies. lie says that with an unprec-
edented need of larger production there
is great scarcity of labor, that the old
stream Of immigrants for such work
IS no longer coming in, and that such
labor as the coal producers have been
able to retain or secure is impaired bv
the competitive bidding for it of other
forms OF employment. "Only extraor-
binary efforts, he says, "have re-
tanned at the mines a body of labor
sufficient for actual necessities.
Actual necessities left some people
rather chilly last winter, and the out
look seems to be in the same direction
FOR next winter. II is a cold world, for
sure, where an increased production ends
III reduced supply.

Only the Beginning.
(St. Adams Messenger

st. Adams is dry for the first time
in 10 years. Burlington also banished
the saloons Nav ], in accordance with
the vote taken at the March meeting.
st. Adams is pretty well removed from
temptation, but the thirsty in Burling-
ton can get strong waters bv little
journeys to Winooski and Shelburne.
However, liquor cannot be legally sold
by the bottle anywhere in the state
so that the effect of selling in towns
contiguous to Burlington will be less
noticeable than in the DAYS before the
special wartime legislation was enact
Reformer.
1t comes to the Messenger that there
Is general expectation of an increase
IN the liquor running across the inter
national boundary line from Canada.
customs officers are on the watch and
even within the short time since pro-
hlbltion became effective up in this
corner their pains have not been unre-
warded
The police know that they must be
on the lookout for the bootIegger and
me jamaica ginger fiend. All OF which
means that those who are familiar with
the situation, from past experience, real
re that in order that prohibition be
real and effective there must be in
creased vigilance.
The officers cannot do it ALL If pub
ne opinion is not in their support. pro
hlbltlon may easily become the travestv
that II is in Maine If the officers re-
ceive public support, and if public
opinion demands that the officers and
the court stamp out all illegal traffic
unrelentlessiy, then results can be Sc
cured, but never perfection
1T. Adams has voted dry and should
be kept as dry as is humanity possible.
That this should actually be the case
should be the determination of every
citizen. There is no place in st. Adams
for the liquor traffic now. But we must
all keep il constantly in mind that vol
ing the town dry is only the beginning.

In New York city and elsewhere the
custom of tining reckless drivers of au-
tomobiles - to $40 and then letting
them 90 with an admonition to be more
careful, has been abandoned and
Row the magistrates are maI,ino
the price $50 to 800 and are
sending frequent offenders to Jail
While statistics show that the percent
age of fatalities in proportion to the
automobiles in use is decreasiug tba
actual number Of individual accidents
Is far too large, and there is Justice
III the law which provides a penalty
sufficiently severe to be remembered
The great majority Of motor-car drivers
are careful and observant OF the rights
OF others in the use Of the streets The
few reckless ones place an undeserved
stigma upon all, and it is quite rigb+
that they should pay the maximum
rates for their folly.
