BRITISH COAL. POLICY.

George in Commons yesterday in which he announc-
I'd that the British government has accepted in principle
he plan devised by Justice Sankey for the un6caton and
reorganization of the coal industry was the necessity for
Increased production Britain faces ruin unless the inter.
rational commercial position is restored The basis of all
British commerce is coal exports, which have fallen off
hlarmingly both because of drop in production and an
increase price If it is necessary to take over the coal
Industry to save the situation will be done but while it
Vas not said in many words, the adoption of this policy

erce in coal they may expect that the government will pay
some attention TO them at time when it has succeeded in
clearly erendang their interests from that of the rest
Pf the British people and of the empire as a whole
There will be reactions of the British announcement in
his country but situation in no wise parallel with
fhat of the British 1t would not change anything in this
country except few great expectations if all the mines
IN Europe were nationazed and operated on subsidy
basis. Indeed the wider the spread over there of the
German theory of international trade as applied to COAL
and that is what the British plan in principle amounts to-
he more reason why we should sit tight AT least until

Rates for industries going to work We need foreign

Ira L. Smith is just as certain that it
is Shannon Allen and has worked OUT
mysterious combination OF the let
tiers OF Mr.. Aliens name until Adam

the omission OF three letters from Mr..
Aliens name and the introduction of
two letters in the nom de plume were
simply done to make the solution more
difficult June Clark Is satisfied that
3. b. Meredith is the perpetrator of
the literary explosion. NJ. a. Fetch
er claims that 1t is Jimmy" Herbert,
the editor of The West Virginian. U.
II. Dunlap and Harry Watkins have
also been suspicioned through regular
periods and then released from con-
sideration.
Harry Engle did not deny tho
authorship OF the epistles for a long
time butNrecently appears to be afraid
that Adam S. Lane" is going to get
him into trouble Shannon Allen says
that he has watched the printed copy
which goes into the composing room
and that he is unequal to such perfect
lettering. e. Z. Meredith says that he
, was interviewed one day when out of
town. He draws the conclusion from
this that adam S. Lane" is a fabri-
Gator and having once identified him
as liar thinks that process OF elm
nation would soon determine his iden-
tity.
Early in the epoch of Adam S. Lane
! the authorship of the communications
was credited to Col. w. II. Conway
but this impression was ridiculed by
newspapermen who pointed out that
Col. Conway was never seen around
The West Virginian office and that he
would insist on seeing proofs" This
same argument served to deaden an
early impression which charged Hon.
o. S. Mckinney with producing the
unbalanced verse.
c. w. Robinson has manifested much
interest in the department but has
been unable TO determine Just who
might be charged with responsibility
for the orig!nation of the much talk
ed-of feature. Sam Leeper is charged
by some people with having devised
the entertainment and while his ca
pacity as "figurer" is generally ad-
mttted he speculates as to the author
ship with such sincerity as to con-
vince those who discuss the matter
with him that he is innocent. George
DeBolt, who is ever alert to keep him
self posted In regard to newspaper
work going on in Fairmont, admits
that he is completely puzzled with this
mystery.

contentious for time on the fact that
names were left blank" in the orig
inal draft of the copy" but this basis

series Of lectures which he delivered before the STU

Dr. Frank j. Goodnow. the president of Johns Hopkins
university pointed out striking similarity between the
fundamental theory of the government of Germany and
The political system which was devised for the United
States As Dr. Goodnow one of the foremost American
authorities upon constitutional government these lectures
which were Subsequently republished in book form in this
country attracted great deal of INTEREST," Attention was
called II them TO the fact that the German empire and the
United States were both federal States and to the further
fact hatit difficult under ordinary circumstances to apply
the European principle of cabinet government to such

ton Of the states. Another reason given for German pref

TEN was that Gemanys geographical situation in the heart
of Europe. with eastern and western frontiers unprotected
BY natural barriers, made it indispensable that there should
be stable government which could pursue reasonably
continuous and consistent policy In the opinion of the
lecturer difficult to have such policy under cabinet

for calculations was finally abandoned.
The identity of Adam S. Lane can
not be CLEANED from investigation of
the city directory. The only man OF
that surname recorded is Matthew
Lane, whose residence is at 735 Mer-
chant street There are q couple OF
Langes in the city directory but Pau
Lange can effect complete abb. Fol-
lowing this idea still further some
even suspicioned Harvey Lanham but
the aversion that the writer has to
politics seems to erase this idea from
the more consequential minds engaged
in the investigation.
There does not seem to be anything
workable from the supposition that
some one by first name ADAM" is
turning out the stuff. There Is no
Adam Smith" in the Fairmont direc-
tory and the nearest thing is DIR. Asa

Alex. Watson could not qualify in the
Judgment Of his associates. People
who have go5e through the entire d.
rectory assert that there is not man
in Fairmont with adam" for a first
name and Howard Adams failed OF in
dictment by the grand jury engaged on
the case. The idea that John A. Clark

an authority than the senior Of the
name.
No one, not any of the thousands
interested, think for a moment that

combination of circumstances, be a

(feathers) is figured too expensive at
this time for woman to give her time

~ th' Bard.

Tenshun!
There have been many persons
heard TO remark on the peculiar ty-
biography OF Fairmont, its rather jaZZy
departure from the horizontal. Brows-
ign the other day through an ancient
and rare volume the Bard came across
this chapter in "a Complete and Au-
thentac HiStore of Divers Things, In
GLIDING Surprising and Trustworthy
Account Of the Creation of the World
by One Who Was Present at Ahe
Time and Did With His own Eyes See
That Which is Related"
u The chapter mentioned bore the fol-
lowing terse caption: "CoSmogony, OF
Creation of the World; with Vast
Multitude OF Well Established Theo-
ries by Which the CREATION OF the
World is Shown 10 be no Such DE-
ficult Matter as Common Folk Would
Imagine, and How the Creation of
Fatrnont was Found to be Exceed
ing Easy"
The author, whose name escapes me
then continued.
1.-THE reader is probably familiar
with the fact that there is world
and has some idea of its form and
situation, but as to knowing
whence it came and how It was
created, there may be a point or
two that would bear calculation.
AS regards the creation of that
part OF the world where Is now
situate the city of Fairmont, l
find colossal and complete ignor-
ance.
ut is common knowledge to sci
ent,sts and philosophers that on
fifth day of the worlds creation
Jehovah found that somewhere
there had been hitch in his plan.
Like the cook who goes to cook
beans and finds when they come
TO boil that too many have been
put in the pot, it was found that
the vast amount of earth material
collected had caused to be left
great quantities more than was
needed for the fashioning OF a
perfect sphere.
"At this point, Jehovah, prov
ing himself a very resourceful
person, ordered that what was left
be dabbed on in hunks at what
ever points 1t could be made to
stick, and " was at that place
where Fairmont now nestles that
many hunks were applied and
stuck"

FAIRMoNT, Aug. lS.-tEditor The
West Virginian. WHO IS Adam S
Lane?
That is a question which has been
worrying the people of Fairmont and
Marion county for some time and It
is matter which is even more widely
discussed than The League of Nations
and The High Cost OF Living.
Some ingenious solutions to the
problem have been offered. The trou-
Bile is that there is unwillingness on
the part of others to adopt the decl-
sion reached by the authorities which
leaves the matter at the starting point
at the conclusion of every discussion.
