England Restless Under Load.

Social unrest in England is not confined to
the working classes, are the political or
economic problems entirely those of Irish home
rule or the adjustment of wages The United
Kingdom came out of the war with such a load
of debt, and with productive industries so gen.
orally dislocated that the way to recovery is
extremely difficult. Just now Lloyd George is
asking vote of confidence on the budget,
which is to be taken after two full days of de-
bate, when the premier and Bonar Law, gov
eminent leader in the house, will present the
governments side of the question.
Drastic remedies are proposed for meeting
the situation. III lieu of the extremely heavy
taxes asked by the government it has been sug
gested that general scaling of the debt be
made Conhscation by the government of a
certain proportion of the capital of the king
dom is an easy, but not at all popular way
of settling the question. The premier has pointed
out many times that the way back to pros
perity lies through steady, productive effort, a
revival Of industry and the abandonment of ex-
travagant ways of living. Nowhere has there
been greater orgy of spending than in Eng
land since the armistice, and the effects of this
are felt by all Naturally objection turns first
to the cost of keeping an army of 100000 men
and the great navy in commission. A demand
is made that these be redd.ed to or below
former peace time strength, but England can
not carry out its part of the obligations as
sumed at Paris unless it does maintain con-
siderable force.
Careful review of the situation justhes the
opinion that Englands problem is very much
the same as ours The disturbance went deeDer
there, because the strain was longer borne, but
order will come only when the people get
ready to 60 to work and this will not be
changed by upsettng one government and put
ting in another

Hazard of Modern Industry.

Accompanying the announcement of steps
being taken to meet the emergency arising from
the impending strike of coal miners, is an &C
count of how twenty-one were abandoned to
their fate in blazing mine where the flames
drove back the rescuers. This will excite SYM
pathy, and the mind will dwell apprehensively
on the dangers of coal mining, from which the
average mortal instinctively shrinks. Work
underground is extra hazardous and long has
been SO recognized, the fact figuring as an ele-
ment in the wage scale. But the coal miners
are not the only ones who risk their lives in
industry. The annual toll taken in the United
States by industrial accident exceeds the battle
loss of the A. E. F. in the world war. 1t is not
especially creditable that this should be so, but
it is true that every effort is being made to re-
duce the number of accidents, and that consid-
cradle progress has been made Machinery can
not be made absolutely safe nor entirely fool
proof" while human falbty must always be
reckoned with. In spite of the best effort to
secure the universal application of the rule of
safety first, loss of life or limb emphasizes the
fact that modern industry projects even into
peace time have quite as much risk as most of
US care to face.

The Spaniards do not use the bull for
weinerwurst or steak until he gives them all
the sport one simple bull can make; they do
not value him so much as source of soup and
beef but rather as the means of much emo
tiona relief; but here in dear America the fact
is widely known, do not like to see him
stabbed but love to hear him thrown.
In such endeavors, master skill and more
than master luck is credited by many to per-
formances by Buck. He manages the stock
yards, where the faed quadruped give, up his
short and simple life that others may be fed;
while, so the dieticans state, we shorten our
careers by eating of the late 1amented lambs
and shoats and steers.
The legislature often seeks to teach him
novel tricks, and manful1y he struggles with
the legislative hicks, who think if they can pail
COW in manner smooth and wise, that they
can tackle other jobs less fitted to their size
But after they have rioted bright and breezy
spell, Buck gets them all tanned down again
and shut in the corral.
He feeds the hungry delegates who come to
see the sights. In all Examinations he's among
the leading lights. He heads the table of the
Knights we know as Ak-Sar- Ben-distinction
which would swell the heads of many lesser
men. Some men arrive by skill and speed and
some by tact or luck, and some by throwing

The Backyard" Aairplane.

Invention of reversible propeller for air
planes is heralded as great step ahead in
making the flying machine available for general
public use. At present one of its disadvantages
is that much clear space is required for landing
or starting If the machine is to become sue
cessor to the automobile, it must have some
thing of the motor cars 1exibility and adapta-
bility. Starting and stopping on restricted area
is prime requisite. But the new invention is
said to permit stopping within fifty feet of dis
lance. Should it be possible to take Off in
similarly reasonable amount of room, the back
yard" airplane may be in reach. Machines are
now made with so limited spread of wings
that they may be landed or started from coun-
try lane. Maybe the visions portrayed by car
toonists and others who like to poke fun at peo-
pie will be brought TO pass and we will soon see
the heavens filled with fleets of flying machines,
darting hither and thither as their drivers fancy.

War Philosophy IN Peace Time

Why are there now so many MURDERS riots
and other acts of violence showing a startling
loss of social control as compared with the
period during the war and that before the war?
The increase in violence surely does not mean
that human depravty is running deeper or that
''the world is growing worse"
The American people have just come out of
graphing to the death During an extended
period human life was cheaper than it ever was
before in recent centuries. Treat m rough!"
and go get em" were admired slogans. The
heroic figure was the man, the woman or the
child who showed contempt for death and
stoical indifference to pain and other forms of
suffering Millions of the swarming peoples of
the earth were taught that killing the enemy
was sacred duty while sacrifice of self, if
necessary, was also a sacred duty. Contempt
for death if it came to oneself and exultation
bers--this was the lesson. The old standards
as to the sacredness of human life were broken
down.
1t was after the American Civil war that the
James brothers and other outlaws committed
train and bank robberies and armed bands were
formed in many places to spread terrorism and
to profit by threats and violence. The phi
losophy that the individual should personally
cultivate extreme contempt for death to HIM
self and should be honored for his proves in
bringing death to the enemy brings some
var unless it tells its youth to go over the top
and kill Out of millions of youths thus in
structed small percentage retains and applies
after the war these lessons of violence.
The accepted slogans, with their i'm
plicatons of violence and disregard for human
life clearly are of little service when the fight
ing is over-Chicago Daily News.

Universal Training
From the St, Louis Globe. Democrat.

In any summary given OF the legislation Fro
posed by the leaders in the National Guard
movement to have a national military system
adopted, the basing of the purposed universal
training upon the public schools seems to be
intended. The Boy Scouts are spoken of and
then the high school, with the statement that
after the high school period the boys should
struction and then dismissed into the body Of
the people, subject to call for service in much
the same way our national army was raised. In
this way we should have no standing army ex-
cept a volunteer one of whatever size congress
might determine and the National Guard, sub
ject to call to federal service at the will of the
president, also of whatever size both congress
and the willingness of the young men of the
country to enlist in its ranks might determine.
We may add that the latter factor will always
tional Guard from becoming too large.
Basng universal training. or any element OF
it save that of educating officers, upon the pub
lie schools is delusion. 1t is an established
fact that less than 10 per cent of the youth of
the country graduate from high school, The
remaining 90 per cent must be given the mill
tary training also if it is to be general in char
acter They need the disciplinary and educa-
tional value of it more than do the high school
boys. 1t is the disciplinary value of universal
training and the physical benefits the youth of
the country would receive which is its strong
est argument. This benefit and value would
serve the country better if given to those boys
who by reason of the necessity for earning a
livelihood are compelled to leave school at or
before the completion of the grammar grade,
and who as consequence are deprived of the
discipline of school life and the physical bene-
fit of athletics. Universal training in this sense
appeals to the American people. but not uni
versal militarism, and it is evident it cannot
be based upon the high schools nor upon the
grammar grades except in the form Of physi-
cal culture, of which the grades have now en-
tirely too little.

FACING THE COAL STRIKE.

The strike of the soft coal miners now ap-
pears to be inevitable. Steps taken by the gov
ernment so far announced. include revival of
the fuel control under the railroad admins
tration, which will allocate fuel supply, and an
undivulged movement to be made by the secre-
tary of war. This latter probably will amount
to no more than protection for such miners as
continue at work
Secretary Lane gives the comforting assur-
ance that between l50000,000 and 200,000,000
tons of bitumnous coal is produced by non
union labor, and that this will be sufficient to
meet railroad domestic and public utility re-
qurements, leaving the industries of the coun-
try to be supplied from other sources. DR.. Gar
field thinks that by careful apportionment of
the fuel on hand or to be produced business
may be kept moving.
This is reassuring, but it does not alter the
immortality of the course pursued by the soft
coal miners. Their leaders attempt to shift en-
tire responsibility onto the operators, but even
when all the claims and assertions of the union
officials are admitted, there yet remains the
unalterable fact that two wrongs do not make
right No amount of injustice or oppression
on part of the mine owners can justify wrong
action on part of the miners And this rule
works both ways.
Having selected moment when whatever
inconvenience arising from shortage of coal
would hit the country hardest, the miners ask
for sympathy because they say their employers
will not negotiate new wage scale. The mine
owners set up that the existing agreement has
yet several months to run. Here is dispute
as to facts that might easily be adjusted, yet
neither appears to have gone to any great
length in trying to reach settlement. Such
conferences as have been held have failed be-
cause each side demanded the whole of its con-
tention.
The public, and this includes mine owners
and miners, is interested primarily in having
steady supply of fuel. A way should be found
to provide this. If the miners are determined
to- try the issue by process of striking, now is
is as good time as any, for the sooner it is
settled the better it will be for all If group
of men. pursuing selfish object, can upset the
life of the country we should know it and begin
to look for the remedy
