The Cheers of the Crowd.

Gov. Cox is concluding "a long

greeted him. Streets have been lined
and enormous halls filled with entbu.

been cheered to the echo Need there
be any wonder that he is heartened

as national leader. He has never

man in such circumstances could fail
to be profoundly impressed.
Mr.. Harding is. off on his third

Water Power.

The recent convention in Washing
ton of the Water Power League of
America emphasized number OF
thoughts which have already taken a
firm place in the minds of men who
read and think on what they read.
Transforming water power into com
mercial energy goes on, perhaps not
so fast as water-power prophets and
enthusiasts would like. vet with great
strides. Greater strides are in near
impaired white coal resources will be
drawn on. Greatest and earliest prog
ress will be made in the development
of water power into electric energy
in those parts of the country where
it can be applied to machinery cheap
err than steam energy.
The future Of water power is Sc
cure. Every river above the fall line
and every river and creek at the fall
line has the power for driving wheels
and shafting. Rivers in their tidal
parts have this power, and as the de-
mand arises for it's employment that
demand will be met. Perhaps the
tides of the sea. the ocean currents
that sweep up the Atlantic and down
the Pacific coasts. and the waves that
beat on the shore of the continent
may be called on to drive machinery
to produce the things that men need
and want.

Law for the Coal Profteers.

A price this winter of S25 a ton for
anthracite coal is the prediction OF
Mr.. OMalley. commissioner of public
markets in New York. who has just
concluded an investigation which car
ried him into the Pennsylvania coal
fields. He found that Swedish and
Canadian buyers were bidding up the
price. paying as high as $12 a ton
and taking all they could get at that
figure.
The highest authorized price of
anthracite coal for American con
sumption is $50 ton at the mine
But says Mr.. OMalley. the mines
have developed system of never
having any coal at $50. but quote all
the higher prices you want to lister
to-
The Lever act Ito provide further

Among the things made unlawful by

1t will be admitted without conten-

of this law that it should be invoked
after the conclusion of hostilities to
correct a condition that had no pos
sible bearing on the winning of the

laws purpose which could be justified
only on the ground of grave ma
tionai emergency. But year ago,
on the ground that grave national
emergency existed. the law was in
voked to break up the strike Of the
bituminous coal miners.
The consumer who is confronted by
the prospect of fuelless winter can
see no difference in the gravity of a
coal shortage, whether created by the
refusal Of men to mine coal or the
refusal of the mine owners to sell it
at a price within reach of the con.
sumer's pocketbook.

Prosperity and the Tariff

Charging the republicans with side.
tracking the tariff issue. Senator
Hitchcock in a speech delivered in
Connecticut Monday said:
why did they not bring that issue
out this time? Because the demo-
cratic party has ruled the country for
six or seven years under n tariff for
revenue only in a period of the great
known. Business men have never
had such high degree of prosperity
as in the past six years"
The Underwood tariff had less than
years trial before the war in Eu.
rope began. In that time it did not
prove a success. 1t did not stimulate
business. and there was complaint of
it on the score of revenue.
When the war broke out all bust
ness abroad was thrown out of plumb
and that condition was felt in this
country. Everything became abnor
NAL. and remained so while the war
lasted. In a measure, that condition
still exists. nearly two years after the
signing of the armistice.
The greatest prosperity the coun
try has ever known grew out of the
war. We sold enormously abroad
where production was halted, and
profited largely. But should we have
had so much business if peace had ex
listed? The Nebraska senator car
hardly contend for that. So that the
Underwood tariff has had nothing t.
do with the volume or profits of bust
ness during the past six years.
But we are approaching the time
when tariff revision will be necessary
in order to meet the new situation a
home and abroad produced by the war
Senator Underwood, whose name The
existing tariff law bears, concede!
that.
And so the old controversy abou
/ high tariff and low tariff will be re
| sumed, and may be intensified by tn,
changes the war everywhere ha.
| wrought. There has been no triumph
Of tariff for revenue only.

heartened to the point of thinking his
election certain? 1t is his first ex
perience as national leader, but his
|lieutenants-wiseb birds. who have been
looking on for years-tell him that
no such demonstrations have ever been
witnessed before.
As a matter of fact, great and
heartening as these demonstrations
in both cases are. their like has been
witnessed before. Fifty-odd years ago
Andrew Johnson swung around the
circle and was almost mobbed with
enthusiasm. Thirty-odd years ago
James c. Blaine had similar expert
ence. Twenty odd years ago William
J. Bryan tasted Of the same sweets,
and last year Mr.. Wilson had his fill
And yet Andrew Johnson escaped i'm

and Mr.. Bryan lost the presidency,
and Mr.. Wilson lost the league of ma
tions. The cheering multitude, reck-
oned in votes, is a puzzle.

School Needs.

School needs continue to he the
dominant theme in the meetings OF
citizens associations. The Piney
Branch Association has approved the
proposal that the 100000 surplus
District revenues now lying idle in

ISOLATION the erection of a northern
high school on the site of the pres
ent hospital between Upshur and AL
lisor, 18th street and Iowa avenue
was favorably discussed, and the
school committee was directed te
work hard to relieve the congested
condition Of the high schools.
At meeting OF the Cleveland Park
Association Monday night it was sale
that there is but one school building
suitably situated for children of the
Cleveland Park neighborhood territory
and that this is SO overcrowded tina,
instruction OF children is hampered
At a meeting of the Congress Heights
Association it was voted ito go or

But among old people in old days in
old Maryland and older Virginia there
was belief that Squaw winter was
the first warm spell following the first
frosty spell, and that Indian summer
came later on. Some authorities con-
tend that Indian summer is spell
OF summary weather which comes
after the trees have shed their leaves.
Really. it is question that ought to
be left to decision by the Indian Office
and the weather bureau. Very likely
they would not agree, and if they did
agree there would arise numerous per
sons to attack the agreement as con-
trary to the bill of rights, the Decla
ration of Independence, the American
Constitution. the rights of man and
the prerogatives of woman, and an
agreement based on a perversion of
the facts or on no facts at all.
But whether these golden days are
Indian summer or Squaw winter. the
weather is greeable-and saves coal.

Squaw Winter.

Opinions differ as to whether this
is Indian summer or Squaw winter
1t is hard to pick out anything on
which opinions do not differ. What
ever subject is brought up there ap.
pear differences of opinion on it, and
it would really seem that there are
more differences of opinion than any
thing else on earth. There are GER
tainly more differences of opinion than
there are facts, and many persons have
differing opinions who never became
acquainted with a fact.
Whether. this is Indian summer or
Squaw winter is difficult to set forth
in print, because 1t cannot be deter.
mined when and what Indian summer
is OF what and when Squaw winter is.

Washington needs the immedat e
expenditure of several millions of dol
lars in new school buildings. To-day :
need in this respect represents the ae'
,umulated unmet needs of series OF
successive years. including The war
time.
Under the half-an nd half law the
money to meet this, with other munic
ipal needs. was collected, so far as the
local taxpayers half was concerned
Rut absorbed in war activities and in
the raising of money to win the war,
the nation failed to put up it's half OF
school construction money and neg.
lected to appropriate money to meet
fully the school needs.
Thus year after year the neglected
new school building needs accumu.
lated and increased: and the District S
half OF the money to satisfy these
needs. being unappropriated by Con
gress. also accumulated.
Now. the war being over. we are
about to spend the millions necessary
to satisfy these accumulated school
construction needs. Since the amount
of money needed for this purpose is
much too large to be taken entirely
from current revenues. what is more
natural Or fairer than to apply to this
need the Districts unexpended tax
money of past years. raised in part
for this very purpose. and doubled foI
this use BY the addition Of the na
TONS contribution under the half and
half law?
If Congress had spent this tax
money to meet actual new school
building needs in these past years
would, Of course. have contributed the
same amount for this purpose under
the half-and-half law. Does the fact
that Congress neglected to meet these
school needs as they arose and permit.

for this purpose to accumulate unused
and failed to appropriate in accord
ance with the haf-and-half law in
these years have any tendency to
