Governors Bold Stand.
the kansas CITY Star


The intrepid governors who met at
Chicago at Governor Gardeners call and
agreed that their states faced a coal
shortage doubtless were aware that they
were going pretty strong. But sharp evils
call for sharp remedies. They realized
that their bold attitude and drastic action
might stagger public opinion. but their
duty was plain. It was time for some
body to come out flatfooted and say there
was a coal shortage. The governors did it
and will stand to the consequences, with
pale brows 1t may be but with hearts I'M
daunted.
The governors also unanimously agreed
that their states ought to take all possible
steps to secure the production of coal. This
is an even more startling conclusion, and
yet will be seen to be a necessary conse-
qreace to the other. Once the governors
had a the position there was a coal
shortage there was nothing for them to do
but pursue the relentless logic of the situa-
ton, and that's where 1t landed them. 1t
may be an advanced position to take, it
may he q greater length than the country
viii desnI wise 10 go, out the governors
did not go to Chicago To daily with the
crisis. They went there to front it boldly
and tell it to its face what it was. The
governors feel that by speaking to the
crisis firmly at the start they won't have
to speak to 1t twice.

Can't Shift Blame.
From the Milwaukee Journal.

from the milwaukee journal
Congress adjourned leaving a bill for a
national budget pigeon holed. Perhaps it
was as well, for the bill did not fully meet
the need.
1t is well enough to provide for system
In the recommendation of appropriations
by the executive. But that only goes half
way. What is most important is that con-
gress shall order its methods of handling
finance bills so that full responsibility is
insured.
The fact cannot be lost sight of that
only congress ~appropriates money. How
ever wisely the administration may rec
ommend, unless congress acts with ike
wisdom and system, we hall not attain
responsibility and economy in expendi-
lures.
Congressman are always blaming the
administration for extravaganza. Each
party blames the other and each house
blames the other. All this is an old story.
The blame really lies with the present
chaotic system which is especially chaotic
in congress itself.
Three things are necessary to curtail
congressional extravaganza. Congress
should consider and pass upon the admin
istrative budget as a whole with the right
to reduce or omit, but not to increase any
item. Any appropriations or increase de-
sired by individual member should be
embodied in a separate bill for which con-
gress would be responsible. Responsibility
for financial legislation should be central
lied in a single committee of each house
or better still a joint finance committee.

been suggested by British financial experts that if the whole of the

for the reason hat they ave a foolish
tinlidity about being correct. They drop
the final "g' habitually because an old
belief among them was that the man
who was correct in his speech was some
thing Of a sissy. Many boys grew up With
that idea in mind.
Those ideas are passing, and people are
coming to the realization that right is
right. even if it be the pronunciation Of
words in the language. The best place to
make the drive effective is in the public
schools, where a teacher should correct
INSTRUMENTATION. 1t is not so cas- to
take a friend to task for abusing English,
but something can be accomplished
through good example.
In the middle west there has been a
feeling that the people generally come
nearer speaking correct English than else
where. The southerner exaggerates some
recommendations and-if he Is a true south
erner-forgets many of his RS" and "gs."

city's Antipicketina Law.
From the Indianapolis News.

1NSWo.
Judge Pritchard, in the Indianapolis CITY
court, has held valid the city ordinance
against picketing. basing his opinion on
certain fundamentals which the council
had in mind when 1t passed the ordinance.
Those who are opposed to the ordinance
took almost the same ground as those
who favored it, and in giving this decision
Judge Pritchard drew a distinction that no
doubt will appeal to both sides as reason
able, even though it interprets the aues-
ton Of personal liberty as favoring the
man who presumably is going about his
lawful business and not Interfering with
the lawful business of others. The court
held that the right of a man to pass
through the streets unmolested and I'M
accosted was superior to the right of a
strike picket.
The difference between moiestation and
peacefully persuasion was dwelt upon by
the court with emphasis. This is really the
heart of he question. To stop a man in
the street under strained circumstances
and seek to prevent him from attending to
work which he wishes to do is quite Diff
ferent from visiting him in his home or
elsewhere and seeking by reasonable and
peaceful means to convert him to a cause.
