public Ledger, PHILADELPHIA
Another American citizen has been
bought on the hoof! Price $4,000 in
gold or 100000 Mex"
This seems to be a decidedly high
quotation on the Mexican market
where two perfectly good American av-
iators were offered last August for
$4,000 the brace. Here we have q
jump in the high cost of ransoms Of
1000 per cent in two months. Nor was
this to be anticipated by the shrewdest
spectators, as the Mexican market for
Americans seemed to sag in September
when an American citizen named DR..
j. w. Smith was ransomed for $4,000,
and casual Swede who was caught
on the same train with Smith, was
thrown in for good measure by the
merchants in American flesh and blood
1t may be that the present purchase
went to an inflated price because he
was the United States consular agent
at Puebla This may be a Mexican
way of complimenting her neighboring
republic. When an official of the
United States government is offered in
the open market the considerable and
ver-polite Mexicans put on him a
price to some degree representative OF
has office and the great nation for
which he stands.

A DANGER AND ITS REMEDY
(Star, Kansas City)

\Star, Kansas city,
In introducing his Americanization
bill in the senate Senator Kenyon made
the statement that there are over 5000
coo pers ans in the United States, over
10 years of age, who can neither read,
write nor speak the English language.
That IL a condition no American can
contemplate without alarm. It is a
danger spot in the national fabric that
threatens the whole, FOR 1t is one that
spreads and grows deeper every year
that we leave unapplied the only rem
edy that can cure it. The remedy Is
s''ught to be applied by this bill, pre-
pared by the senate committee which
investigated conditions in the Pitts
burg steel strike region. 1t would
make compulsory the learning of the
English language by every alien admit
ted to this country. That is a first step
in any process Of Americanization, and
all other measures to that end must
be futile without 1t. The Kenyon bill
Ought to pass.

THE CAST OF cANToN's MAYOR

(Plaln Dealer, CleVeland.)
The governor acts with commendable
promptness and firmness in suspend :
Ing the mayor of Canton. The main
tenance of order in any community is
a prime essential, under all circum-
stances and responsible officer who
fails 20 uphold the law at all hazards
lays himself open to just such action
as Governor Cox has taken against
Mayor Poorman.
Fair notice was served on Ohio may
ors and sheriffs some time ago that
the head of the state government would
hold each of them strictly responsible
for maintaining law and order within
his own jurisdiction. If anyone failed
tie governor said, the state would in
tervene even If it required the calling
out of the national guard.
In the Canton case Governor Cox has
made good this promise to the state.
He modified the guard for action in
Canton unless conditions improved by
the people of Ohio.
This vigorous action will be approx
ed by the people of Ohio. 1t serves no.
tice on public officials in every COM
n,unity that the governor intends to
zee that law and order are to be held
inviolate in this state.

HOUSE SHORTAGE !
SHoDDY BUILDING.
e
AN D

|Nn0HILE we face an accute situation
WV in Boise because of the shortage
est of all that we be cautious as we'll
and take an early stand against shoddy
building in any form. Boise has
suffered from this in the past. There
is no logical reason why 1t should have
the same experience again.
| There is certainly a remarkable con-
dition existing here. The joint commit
tee on housing of the Commercial and
Rotary clubs, has discovered there is
not at present single vacant house for
rent. This committee has listed over
100 persons who desire to rent a house
in which to live. Houses in progress
of construction, and there are many
of them, are sold before they are COM
pleted. The supply does not meet the
demand.
This committee Is doing an excellent
work for the community and will be
given unanimous support in its efforts
to relieve the situation, but while we
must have houses, we would be better
without them If they are to be built
cheaply for speculative purposes. A
poorly built house is menace to pub
lie health. Instead, house should be
a monument to the builder. Good
housing is essential to good citizenship
Bad housing is inducive to bad citi-
zenship. A poorly constructed house
offers constant invitation to fire and
other hazards of life.
Encouragement should be lent to
the construction Of the best kind of
homes. The house may be modest from
an investment standpoint, but 1t should
contain the values for the price at
which 1t Is sold While building ma
terials are high. 1t is natural that the
cost of these homes will be higher.
But the builder can well afford to take
a smaller profit with the knowledge
that he had given the value to the
purchaser. The purchaser is then safe
in knowing that he has home that
is not fire trap and that is worthy
of the name
The demand Is heavy and the need is
great and everyone who can possibly
do so should lend helping hand. The
greater will be the profit to Boise as
a community If the word goes forth
that substantial houses are being
erected.

SHOULD TAKE OVER COAL MINES

FAILURE on the part Of the mine
owners and the miners to get to-
gether on the matter Of wage sched-
ule justifies the United States in step
ping in and taking charge of the coal
mines and operating them. Dispatches
clearly indicate that there is real
coal shortage and it Is becoming more
serious daily. The government can not
AFFORD to permit suffering among hun
dreds Of thousands of consumers while
the operators and the miners quarrel.
There is nothing to indicate that the
slightest Roadway has been made be-
tween them to reach a conclusion.
In fact. they are as far apart now as
they ever were.
Such competitive coal fields as those
embracing the states of Illinois. Indi-
ana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania,
strongholds of the United Mine Work
or of America, show all mines shut
down and not enough coal coming from
demand. 1t is becoming more clearly
apparent every day that while the union
lost its strike in the courts, the miners
are remaining out and do not intend
to go to work until the wage scale has
been adjusted. In other words, the
strike is still effective irrespective Of
he Co he nP; 20 JIx;t
Mine Workers of America recalled the
strike order
Secretary Garfield will be justified
in seizing the mines and operating
them through the government. If he
can not make the operators and the
miners listen to reason then he is justi-
fled in using shis wartime powers as
fuel administrator in seeing that coal
is supplied from the mines. Secre-
tary Garfield can not afford to wait
longer In bringing about concrete ac-
ton. Winter is rapidly approaching
and the coal supply is as rapidly van
fishing.
The actions of the operators in delay
ing conferences is bringing them into
bad repute. Their. scale committee con-
tends it is not ready to meet the rep
resentative of the miners and post
: ponements are being forced Kansas
has already called for government
operation Of the mines and other coal
states are likely to follow. They will
be justified in doing so unless the oper-
ators and miners get together imme-
diately. The public has stood the dick
ering long enough and is prepared to
back up the government In the most
radical step possible to relieve the coal
shortage situation.
