One great trouble with unkind
thoughts is that it is so very difficult
to keep them only thoughts; sooner or
later they find utterance. We may
fancy that we are keeping our un-
charitable opinions to ourselves, but
they are almost certain to express
themselves in look or tone, If not in
word. The only way to be really kind
is to be kind clear notwithstanding

BOND. DERS WARNED.

Indications that large numbers
of Liberty Bond holders are trading
their government securities for
stock in fraudulent ventures has
prompted Secretary Glass 10 renew
his recent warning to bond-holdcrs
against being persuaded into such
exchanges. IN Il formal statement
Mr.. Glass asserted that the high
rate OF return upon some of these
stocks was in itself sufficient to
arouse suspicion.
''Whcrc Liberty Bond holders
are urged TO give up their sccuri-
ties for stocks of speculative char
actcr,' he said. good sense sug-
ScSts the presumption that the offer
is made because the liberty bonds
are worth decidedly more than The
stock. Experience in great num-
Der Of cases show that the stock is
worthless and the bond owners who
make the exchange is simply an
other victim TO the army of sharperS
who find easy booty in these days
of reckless Spcculatiun."

GOVERNMENT TO AVOID COAL FAMINE,

Wartime restrictions on the
use of coal moro stringent even
than those applied during The war,
were ordered into effect Monday 10

Moved by reports Of diminishing
coal stocks and growing danger of
distress in numerous sections. the
government sought TO compromise
with striking mine workers whose
waikout forced the emergency. but
asked for national determination to
endure privatiOn and discomfort
until coal mining was resumed on
its terms.
Fuel Administrator Garfield. act
ing in conjunction with the railroad
administration, gave notice that
hereafter only the essential con-
sumcrs included in the first five
classes OF the war prioritics list
would be supplied with coal, and
asked the help of all State and
municipal authorities to make ra-
tloninS effective. The order. which
made national those restrictions al
ready put into local effect by re-
gional coal committees where the
pinch of fuel shortage has been felt

notification of the step. "Public

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO cONeRESS.

The SiNty-SiNth Congress as
Scmblcd in Washington for the long
session Monday. Dec. 1st, at noon.
The two houses had already been
organized at the special called
session held during the summer
and fall. The President. unable to
appear in person as had been his
custom. sent in his annual message
on Tuesday, which was read in both
houses. He did not. as was expect
ed, discuss the failure OF the Scna-
ate TO ratify the peace treaty which
that body had under consideration
at the special session which ad-
journed about the middle of No
vcmbcr.
Following are the leading ques-
tions considered in the message:
"SimplificatiOn Of income and
profits taxes has become an immc-
diatc necessity.
"The tariff controversy must
be suhordinatcd to the public in
tcrcSt.
"The productivity Of the country
must find an outlet by exports to
foreign countries. If we want to
sell, we must buy.
This is the Hour of test and trial
for the United States.
America is the greatest capital
ist in the world.
I'VE must recognize and relieve
our returned soldiers.
America will not be daunted bv
threats from any class.
'The chemical and dycStufs in
dustry must be protected.
"Thc causes of the widespread
unrest are superficial, rather than
dcep-seated. They are connected
with failure speedily TO reach a
just and permanent peace, with
hcartless profiteering. with the
TRANSMISSION of radical theories from
European ccnterS, and with the
Vaccinations OF malevolcnl agita-
tors"
Congress should arm the Fed
eral government with power to deal
in its criminal courts with persons
who by violent measures would alb
rogatc our time-tcstcd institutions.
There can be no settled condi-
lions if capital and labor are to be
antagonists instead of partners.
GOyernmentS must recognize
the right OF men collectively to bar
gain for humane objects. -'
Labor not only is entitled to re-
ceive an adequate wage, but capital
should receive reasonable return
upon its investments.
The right to strike is inviolatc,
but the Government has funda-
mental right to protect all of its
people against the challenge of any
class"

THE NEWSPAPER SITUATION.

Smaller newspapers, better news

pers is the best prediction of the
weeks market.
| There is not enough news print

duction the quality is to be bettered
by more careful editing. The price
Vol newspaper must be increased be-
cause the pennies paid by the sub
! scribcr today actually do not cover
the cost of the white paper in many
instances. Advertising rates must
be increased not only because adj

thcr reason that. as stated by r. p.

Newspaper Publishers Association.

ton has increased 100 per cent in

Newspapers are like people. Gen

al. II may be that not every paper
in the United States and Canada
will increase its subscription price,
decrease its size, and add to its adj
vertising rates. But the prediction

newspapers. as Il whole because of
the change in conditions as Il re-
suit of the war. Already the most
