QUESTION WHO SHALL
BE ACTING GOVERNOR
By Special CORRESPONDENT.

TRENTON, Dee. with the
strong probability that question Will
be raised as to whether William N.
Runyon or Senator Clarence r. Case,
of Somerset, of Somerset county, is en-
titled to be the Acting Governor of
the State from Tuesday, January 13,
when the legislature conVeneS until
Tuesday. January 90 when Mr. Ed
wards is inaugurated Governor, the
plans for the inaugural ceremonies
formally got under way here yester-
Iday There are strong precedents to
show thai Mr.. Runyon, who occupies
the executive chair now by virtue of
being presiden cf the last Senate. is
entitled to hold his present Office un-
til Governor elect Edwards is induct-
ed, but somebody has raised the point
that on Tuesday January 13. Case is
sworn in as Senate President and Run
yon at that time steps down and the
prerogatiyes which go with the Senate
President, including the Acting Gov
ernorship, are turned over to his sue
cessor.
Two eminent precedents, however,
are being advanced by those who IA
lvor the Runyon viewpoint. In 1914
I Speaker Leon r.. Taylor. who was Act
ing Governor, turned over the Great
Seal of the State 10 James T.. Fielder,
as Governor, although at the time Mr.
TAYLOR had no status as legislator
! and ceased to be q laWmaker when
| the Legislature convened the week
previously and the Senate had chosen
tJohn w. Slocum, Of Monmouth. as Its
president Just as it will case on Jan
uary ! 8 next.
A nasty snarl for the Republicans,
who seem to be keeping themselves in
hot water continually, seems to be
brewing over who should be Acting
Governor for the week in question.
Mr.. Runyon is understood to be ready
to fight for the right to continue un-
ill Mr.. Edwards is inaugurated, bas-
ing his claim on the Taylor and Wat
kins claims. Senator Case believes
that under Article ., Section 70, OF
the State Constitution, he is entitled
to the place.

Further Disruption of Industry.
,aI Ihn oonnanfan DAnas

BU The Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Further dis
ruption of national industry because
of the fuel shortage brought about by
the strike of bituminous coal miners,
was in prospect today. Regional di-
roctors of railroads had authority to
annul passenger trains where the
public would be least inconvenienced
and many additional manufacturing
plants faced shutdowns either through
exhaustion of their coal supply or the
strict rationing decreed by the feder-
al fuel administrator.
State executives, who, under ap-
tpeals from their constituents for aid,
have sought ways and means for re-
plenishing the dwindling fuel supply
today virtually were without en-
couragement as regarded increased
production. Only in isolated instances
were there reports of change of
front on the part of the miners.
Generally, the workers adhered to
their attitude of remaining away from
1.-THE mines until better times and the
fourteen per cent. wage increase de-
creed by the government were forth
coming.
Some regional coal directors esti-
mated that with reductions of work
ing staffs already made or threat
ened should the strike not be broken
Immediately the number Of employees
thrown out of work soon would sur
pass several times over the approx
imately 100000 miners involved in the
Waikout.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3:--LinC
operators from all parts of the coun-
try gathered here today to work out
details of the fourteen per cent. wage
increase suggested by the government
for bituminous coal miners. 1t was
said that the finding probably would
be submitted to Fuel Administrator
Garfield for ratification.
Continued optimism in official cir
cles was marked, although produc-
ton figures available showed no in
crease in daily tonnage. This now Is
estimated seBii-oiiicially at better
than 40 per cent. of the normal.
Meanwhile the government was
showing no relaxation in the enforce
ment of strict coal rationing. In ad-
dition to the orders already sem
broadcast over the country, Director
Hines authorized the regional di-
rector to curtail passenger trains
where they could be suspended. with.
out hardship to the public.

Worlds Industrial Pulse.
From National city Bank New York, bulletin.


The indications are that wages and prices are going to stay up,
for a time at least, all over the world, which will do much to simplify
the situation in every country. The general state Of credit expansion
over the world will sustain, and naturally cause, higher level of
prices than prevailed before the war, and there will not be the same
pressure to lower wages and prices In this country that there would be
if the level was falling in other countries. It does not follow, Of
course, that wages and prices at the higher level will yield any better
net results to producers and wage earners than at the old level, or
that the new level will be permanent, but business is favored by
stable conditions and, with all the world subject to the same general
Influence, changes are likely to be gradual rather than abrupt.
Conditions will not be very favorable to efficient industry on the
continent of Europe for a long time. From the Rhine eastward dis
people have been accustomed is gone, the Industrial equipment has
deteriorated, and politics probably will be the dominant interest for
some years to come. In Russia, under the rule of the bolsheyists,
business experience and managerial talent have been discarded: one
man is considered as good a business manager as another; indeed, it
is Objectionable to have any one man exercise more authority than
another; everything is supposed to be managed by committees and
by popular vote.
In England the situation is very different, but wage advances
on q large scale are still going on, with the expectation that they will
be maintained. Announcement has been made that the railways.
which have been operated by the government as a war measure, will
be taken over permanently, and since the armistice was signed the
basic cight-hour day has been granted to all the employees The Lon.
Of time and one-quarter. Including this action the wage scale of the
railways has been more than doubled since the beginning of the "a
The government is pledged to the labor organizations to restore
all of the union rules and restrictions which were waived in the inter-
est of increased production during the war, but is seeking an agree
ment under which tbs wage earners will obtain higher wages and
better working conditions, but continue the war time efficiency in
production. The labor leaders declare in favor of this arrangement.
and it is hoped that production costs will not be increased, and
eventually may be even lowered, but the effect will probably be to
put production costs in England and the United States more nearly
on the same level than they have been in the past.

The world cannot regard with en-
tire the reported abduction of
young Wilhelm, eldest son OF the former
German crown prince. Since the abdi-
cation of his grandfather and father this
lad of 10 is, from g purely legal point OF
view, king of Prussia and emperor OF
Germany. The fact that he has been SO
well hidde by the officers who took
charge of him that the government has
been unable to find him indicates that
the monarchists now center all their
hopes in him.
The older Hohenzoilerns are thoroughly
l~iscredited. and with their names will be
associated forever the u~napeakahle dis

The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and a pansv
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot Of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get a flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation. No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries OF Nature. Behind the invisible
Life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was a medicine called
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache, head
ache, weakening drains, ~bearing-down
pains, periodical irregularities, pelvic in
Examinations, and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of
lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, uni
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in Dr.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are. getting a
safe woman's tonic SO good that druggists
everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence Of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
cotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
and morphine are injurious, and SO. he has
always kept them out of his remedies.

uNTYiNe TIE KNOT.
From Christian Science Monte

From Christian Science Monitor.
Alexander. as nearly everybody
has some time or other heard,
solved the difficulty OF untying
the Gordian knot, which nobody
had ever been able to do, by cut
ting it. Something of the same
sort may have been done by those
large business concerns that are
announcing a reduction in the
price of what they have to sell
without making any corresponding
reduction in the wages of those
who make it. The argument that
the price OF commodities cannot
come down unti1 the cost of labor
comes down, and that the cost Of
labor cannot come down until the
price of commodities ome down,
presents a problem quite as per-
picking as the traditional knotted
cord at Gordium. But If a large
enough number of businesses re-
ducs prices without lowering wage
scales, and find they "a do
it without sa crificing reasonable
profit. the purchasing power of the
dollar will pleasantly increase.
With more purchasing power to
the dollar the whole question Of
the relation OF wages to the sup
port of the wage Garner ard his
family would become easier of
adjustment.
