COAL CRISIS ON WAY.

II the people have neglected to buy their coal sup
plies for next winter because they took the warnings
against a coal shortage to be propaganda BY fuel inter
ests desiring TO sell coal. they should be fully disinu-
stoned by Mr.. Hoover's statement that the whole world
faces a winter with inadequate supplies Of coal.
The British mines have not been producing enough
for domestic needs and countries which formerly relied
on England for supplies are going 10 look to America
for at least part of their needs. But this country IS lit
tie better OF than England. for the fuel administrator
declares that America faces a shortage next winter OF
100000 tons, and to meet our own needs production
at the mines must be increased at least 2.775000 tons
a week.
To add to the seriousness OF the situation. many
aliens who have been engaged in mining are returning
to Europe. While labor unrest is preventing the maxi
mum output by mining forces available.
BY moving the coal from the mines during the
summer and keeping UP the demand. production will be
increased. it is believed. and the danger Of shortage and
widespread suffering next winter minimized. If the ma
iority of consumers wait until fall or winter. however
10 buy supplies. when railroads are congested with crop
movement. when the coal movement is normally at its
height. and when cost of producing and shipping coal is
higher than in summer there IS no way to avoid a
shortage and much higher prices. And with Europe
clamoring for coal from America, no one would be safe
in predicting to what level prices will 90.
The wise consumer laid in his supply of coal early
this summer but it is not too late to exhibit some evf
dence OF wisdom by covering next winters fuel needs
now. These are what the fuel authorities declare are
cold facts about a burning question

WHEN WILL THE TIDE TURN?

Presently we will begin TO save again, if for no
sounder reason than that We may spend again at some
future time We must by saving and production gradu.
ally get back into the national stocking that excess oil
currency now circulating and which is at once the in
centive and the means of extravaganza. 1t is hard TO
convince the boys from the Barr that they ought to put
by a little out OF their rolls to go home on. but they
usually see the wisdom Of the advice before the last
yeIow-back is gone. We think its going 10 be that way
with the country. We don't know when. but ultimately
somebody, shame-faced enough probably, and first look
ing all around to be sure nobody is watching. is going
to save and hide a dollar. Saving is catching like ev-
erything else and everybodyll be doing 1t next. The
realization, now getting home to many, that we are
spending money not made by extra work and production,
but our savings lent to the government and which we
are being taxed TO pay the interest on, will help the
process. That is how. If not when. we think the circle
is going to be broken and the dog stopped from chasing
his City Star.

THE GOAT.

It's a rare newspaper you can pick up nowadays
which does not inform you Of new strikes being called
or voted on somewhere. Everybody is striking except
the poor old ultimate goat, who has never had sense
enough to form a union and goes on trying to be a good
citizen, paying every added extortion meekly and hum
bly,, and bearing all the burden OF the worlds troubles.
Some day the ultimate goats may wake up and then we
will see a real union, and a real strike. When a group
OF men threaten to "tie the railroads up SO tight they
will never run again" the ultimate goats viii come right
back and quit using the railroads. How would the rail
road employees like that? When the landlords raise the
rent too high, the ultimate goats will 90 on strike and
live in tents until the rents come down. How would the
landlords like that2 When the %prohteers boost the price
OF sugar they'll quit using sugar. The possibilities are

PREDICTS DEATH OF CONSTITUTION.

The CONSTITUTION was founded on the law Of gravi-
tation" wrote Mr.. Wilson in his New Freedom The
Government was TO exist and move BY virtue Of the ef
fciency Of checks and balance"
The trouble with the theory is that government is
not a machine. but a living thing. It falls. not under
the theory Of the universe but under the theory OF or
ganic life. II is accountable to Darwin. not to New
ton"
1t is modified by its environment necessitated BY
its tasks. shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure
OF life. No living thing can have its organs Offset
against each other, as checks. and live"
In other words. in the opinion Of Mr.. Wilson, the
Constitution cannot live. When he entered upon the
Presidency he took an oath to preserve. protect and
defend" the Constitution. But it is a poor defense that
a man offers who does not believe in his clients case
a maxim repeatedly demonstrated at the Paris peace
conference.

SOLDIERS PICNIC,
BINGHAM SPRINGS

With the prospects of an early
return of Athena soldiers serving in
the l4sth F. A. from the Army Of
Occupation in Germany, some sort of
reception to be given them and all
other men who were in the service
from Athena, whether in overseas as
signments or-not, is to be worked out.
So that all soldiers and seamen who
were in service from Athena may be
entertained in way that all their
relatives and friends--which includes
the whole community have op-
portunity of showing their apprecia-
tion and at the same time afford en-
tertainment for the boys. it has been
proposed that a soldiers picnic be held
at Bingham Springs on the return of
the men of the l48th. With the ar
rival Of these boys. practically all
Athena soldiers will have returned
home, and all should participate in a
rousing good time at the Springs.
The suggestion of the picnic was
first made by Mrs. A. A. Foss. and
since others have enthusiastically ap-
proved of the plan. The Springs af-
fords amusement in the way of swim
ming, dancing. fishing. etc. A sump-
tuous basket dinner could be spread
under the big trees in true picnic
fashion.
No doubt sufficient number of au-
tomobiles for the transportation of all
who would like to participate in the
picnic would be easily available.
through generous donation by their
owners, and the basket dinner would
be provided by the good housewives
Of the community.
