COAL OPERATORS PROFITS

Former Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo has performed
an important service in bringing forcibly before the people of
the country some of the facts in connection with the profits of
the mine operators. Shocking profits he calls them and the
people will agree when he shows that some of the coal oper-
ators made as much as 1000 per cent. on their capital stock
in 1917.
According to Mr.. McAdoo, the tax returns on income
now on file with the government show the profits ranged from
IS per cent. to 1000 per cent. The lowest profit here men
toned is in excess of what a legitimate profit would be.
1t is very evident, in the light of the exposure, that the
operators can well afford to give their workmen who go down
into the bowels of the earth to produce these profits for them,
a substantial increase in wages in order that they may enjoy
a little more of the comforts of life. At the same time, there
is no excuse for raising the price of coal every time a slight in
crease is given the miners.
We well remember former occasions when strikes have
been settled by giving the miners a raise. The raise has con
sisted of something like twenty five cents on a ton whereupon
the price of coal to the consumer has been increased a dollar
or more a ton.
1t is high time the coal barons were brought TO book. In
spite of the many objections that there are to government own
ership of public utilities, it is evident that unless the operators
can be compelled to treat their men fairly and cease their
protteering in this most essential product the government will
have to take over the mines and run them for the public.

A SORRY MESS

Senator Frelinghuysen's attempt to explain his vote to kill
the peace treaty sounds very much as if he had a guilty con-
science.
Either the League of Nations is a good thing for the world
or it is utterly bad. Senator Freinghuysen says he believes it
TO be fundamentally wrong. If he so believes, he evidently did
not have the courage of his convictions. He should have stood
with Borah and Johnson, who made no attempt to hide their
efforts to kill the whole treaty. But the senior senator from
New Jersey, apparently not daring to go the extreme limit for
fear of the sentiment at home, chose rather the more cruel
and mderhanded method of the old Indians in first torturing
The victim and putting it to death by degrees.
Senator Frelinghuysen and Senator Lodge, must accept
their full responsibility for the sorry mess they have made of
the whole thing. After many months of talk the Republicans
have accomplished nothing but their own undoing. Senator
Lodges attempt TO get on. from under by throwing the whole
thing into The presidential campaign next year has fallen flat.
The storm of protest is arising from all over the country. The
Republican party finds itself hopelessly divided and everything
is left in the utmost confusion and chaos.
The special session of congress that the Republicans in
sisted that President Wilson should call Immediately after the
election, that was to accomplish such wonders, has adjourned
with the most ignominious record of any congress in recent
years.
The only way out now is Immediately upon the assemb-
ling of the regular session of congress next week, for the sen-
ate to bring up the peace treaty, or have President Wilson re-
submit it to them, and with a few resolutions setting forth
Americas interpretations of certain clauses, ratify it, without
delay and at once get down to business enacing suitable legis-
lation to meet existing conditions throughout the land. Cut
down government expenses and reduce the awful burden of
taxation that is playing such havoc with business.
Senators Frelinghuysen and Edge are already hearing
from the rank and file of the Republicans of New Jersey. They
find themselves all but repudiated and they are in grave dan
ger of even being omitted from the so-caIled big four" that is
sent to the Republican national convention next spring.
1t certainly is a sorry mess that the Republicans have

"Septic Sore Throat"

ONiNh hpoAS
Septic sore throat is a highly COM
municable disease affecting the throat,
which frequently occurs in e~pidemics
among people using milk from a par
ticular supply.
1t is characterized by q redness and
soreness of the mucous membrane of
the throat, enlargement of the glands
in the neck, fever and prostration.
The throat at first is generally diff
fusely redeemed, somewhat as in scar
let fever; later white patches appear
in the majority of cases which some
times fuse to form a membrane sug-
gestive of diphtheria.
The stubborn engagements of the
neck glands are highly characteristic.
The temperature Is more or less
elevated often rising to 104 degrees
Fahrenheit or more, n weakness is
pronounced and out of proportion to
the local symptoms. In some In
stances a trancient rash appears which
may be fused with that of scarlet
fever.
The severity of the symptoms varies
greatly. The common complications
| are tonsillar assesses N intiamma-
ton of the middle ear. arthritis, cry
sipelas, pneumonia, p~eritonitis, nephrl-
It's and e~ndocarditis.
Death may occur from pneumonia
or from general blood poisoning, or in

depression due to the we're illness.

It's hard to understand some say
ines In the Bible, as. for example,
such teachings as the following:
blessed are We when men shall
revile YOU and prosecute o and
shall say all n of evil against
you falsely, for My sake, for so per-
secuted they the prophets which
went before you"
Now it isn't pleasant to have any
body "revile" us-and we think 1t
hard to have somebody persecute us
and to have someone SANDER us,
saying "all of evil against
us falsely, makes US warm n in
dignant.
But-as between being prosecutor
or prosecuted, or being reviler or re-
viled, or being q liar or lied about
it's a lot more comfortable, in the
end, to be prosecuted. reviled, lied
about.
For, somehow, there's always a
~vindication if q nan is innocent.
All one needs to do, ordinarily, is
to wait.
THE mills of the gods grind slow
Iy. but they grind exceedingly small.''
The little phrase for My. sake
used by Jesus when he spoke these
words, suggests thai the persecution
and the SANDER was endured for a
just cause.
Now that's worth something, OF
itself.
People-some people, anyway, are
sure to lie about you, if you do any
thing that's worth while or that
brings Into prominence.
You 20 q target for liars and

And, after a while, these assaults
will mean positively nothing to YOU,
And your prosecutor is simply stor-
ing up for himself days of bitterness
and repentance and sorrow.
And then there's the comfort OF

pany,

Saturn rules strongly for good to-

are contrary influences that seem to
forewarn men and women to be eau

While this confguration prevails
the aged should benefit greatly.
Honors to an old statesman appear
to be foreshadowed.
Although the stars this day presage
favors for those past middle life, the
young are to enjoy what the old
covet, according to prophecy.
In the new era only those who De-

of their progressive tendencies Will
succeed. and the new year is to place
men and women under forty in post

seers declare.
Saturn gives promise to all who
draw sustenance from the ground
and today should be most favorable
for farmers, miners and dealers in
real estate.
Students come under the best pos

those who specialize, it is predicted.

Then Go Ahead
BY WALT MA

Long years ago Davy Crockett said, BE sure you re right,
then go ahead. " And this is counsel safe and sane; Wed
save ourselves all kinds of pain, if each would paste 1t on his
head, and do as good old Davy said. In these excited, trouoious
times, we go ahead with breaks and crimes, nor query, as we
wboep along, els this course right, or is it wrong?' We tread
on t'other fellows toes, and crush his hat and spoil his nose'
in our mad rush to gain a bone or boost some interest OF our
own. Old customs and old methods droop, and precedents are
in the soup; we mutter deep contempt for laws, and Ser pc
comes our onlv cause. If can get what I desire, I care not II
your homes afre. This is the spirit of the time, and precepts
are not worth a dime. We do not care if we are right when
we kick up a useless fight; we do not care if we are wrong, SO
that our bank account is strong. And Davy Crockett slee ping
lies. he left behind a message wise; but wisdom has no present
