THE I. w. w. BIBLE.

Seditious! It is remarkable situa- tion when a band of men being tried on charges of seditious conspiracy point to government report on their organization as their guiding light in all they have. This is what hap pened in the trial of I. w. w. leaders before Federal Judge Landis at Chi cago. The report in question is that of the Federal Industrial Relations Commission, of which Frank P. Walsh was chairman-the same Walsh who is now acting as labor mediator for the government. Among the elect it is revently known as the q. w. w. Bible." Recently we reminded the taxpayers of the country that this re- port, radically socialistic, with its sympathetic description of the l. w. w. as "band of groping fellowship cost them $150,000. There are some things at Washington that deserve criticism, and that ought to be criti- cised even in wartime. There is some thing wrong when a Federal commis- sion coddles an organization whose leaders are on trial for attacking the government, and when government report becomes the Bible" and "guid- ing light" of the organization, society faces an I. w. w. or Bolsheviki men, ace. It is bad enough to have college professors, magazine writers and lec- turers defend such organizations, but when government commissions do SO it is beyond the patience of the tax payers.--Leslie's Weekly.

NONSENSE ABOUT COAL.

Whatever may be the purpose of the United States Fuel Commission in continually issuing warning to the ef- feet that there is going to be short age of coal next winter, it must be pardonable for an impartial observer of the situation to doubt the expedi- ency of such course, unless it can be fully justified. If there is going to be shortage of coal next winter, then the fuel commission will evil dently be largely responsible for it, and, by warning and alarming the public in advance on this score, it is simply anticipating the criticism and condemnation that will inevitably come to in case it's predictions shall be verified.
 The fuel commission will, next win ter, have had practically an entire year in which to provide against the possibility of the calamity which it would have the public believe is al- most unpreventable. There was some, but not much, excuse for last years shortage. The railroads had been al- lowed to run down. Tens of thousands of cars were either in wretched state of disrepair, or entirely out of com mission. There was great conges- tion and great rushing of war freight on all principal lines. The con- fusion attending the first year of war was at it's height.
 These conditions are practically all reversed now. The mines continue to hold inexhaustible supplies of coal. Labor is more generally and more skillfully employed, and better com pensated; vast sums of money have been appropriated for and spent upon the improvement of railroad equip ment; there is great increase in To- comotives and cars; there are more coal barges; the weather has been, is, and for months will continue to be, favorable to coal distribution, every body in the coal trade is assured large profits.
 In view of these circumstances, the constant talk of coal shortage next winter is nonsensical. It is not what the public wants to hear. It is not the

LET THE INVENTOR" TRY IT
 FIRST

Billy" Spear of the Phoenix Re- publican, in commenting upon the re- cent governmental recommendation regarding the conservation of white paper, intimates that it would be a good idea to start at home. And he is ten times right. Every newspaper in this land will doubtless carry out the Washington suggestions and cut the size of their papers to the bone. But will Washington cut? The gov ernment printing office and govern ment publicity bureaus are sending out printed matter by the trainload every day in the year that has no more part in advancing and aiding the cause of the war than the leaves that fall from the trees. As Editor Spear says, every editors mail is choked with lot of documents and publica- tions and news letters and boosts and write-ups and stuff that never see the light of day except through the meshes of the waste basket. The of- flee boy groans as he Jugs this loaded basket down the stairs. And besides the thousands of tons of paper thus wasted, there is the strain on the mail service and the waste of good locomo- tive steam to haul this litter all over the land. And also there are the men who are paid to prepare and print this mass of waste material for the junk heap. Let Washington remove the beam from its own eye while it urges the publisher to wipe the speck from under his lid.-Bisbee Review.

Really, did it ever occur to you how easy it is for some of the big cor porations to advertise, to show you how little they made from the mil lions they have accumulated? Take the packing houses, for instance, they are advertising that they have made no money. You should believe 1.-the money they are spending to prove it shows conclusively that the money they are spending is borrowed from their friends to prove that there is no money in the meat business except what is made by getting double what you paid for it, also side trimmings, a mere 1000 pei cent. Shall ve believe it? No, ve shant. Profiteers Acht, NO, no, no no-youst get so much more money as you can.

If our friend Wiley Jones does not win the decision for attorney general it will be because of mighty hard luck all around. He has convinced the pro- hibitionists that he is firmly against the intoxication of another person; that he believes in the law as he views it and that his opinions as rendered are opinions. He fits Arizona and Arizona's methods of procedure. The people don't need all these measley law books-it's only an extra expense, What We need is only more Wiley Joneses. We don't want Tex Haw- kins' or Jim Loy's new ideas of laws that we are getting used to.
