Gov. Coolidge Wants Car
riers Made to Store
During Summer.
Especial to Washington HeraIdJ

Boston. April Ex-Governor Coo
hdge says the coal-carrying rail-
roads should be compelled to store
during the summer months coal
sufficient for their winter needs. He
says:
The New England roads main
tain great coal-storage yards, into
which they dump during the sum-
mer months enough coal to carry
them through the winter. The
ooal-carrying roads, however, ap-
pear to find II more economical to
seize coal that Is destined for New
England, thus saving dumping and
loading charges.
TN some cases, last winter, they
seized coal consigned to State char
liable institutions, with the result
that some of them narrowly es-
capped freezing. OF course such
seizures are entirely unlawful; /;
they have no more right to take the
coal consigned to other parties than
they have to come into my back
yard and take a washing off the
line.
II have written the Federal
Trade Board. and they have replied
that they have no jurisdiction. but
Ishope to be able to find some au-
therity to require the roads to do
what they plainly ought to do"

ber of fieldl guns. two hundred, per-

for shipment to East Prussia to avoid
the special attention which now is
being directed toward the alleged
reactionary military preparations in
Pomerania.
The news, which was commuhi-
Gated from official sources, furnished
striking commentary upon the re-
port of the military commission
which relegated the stories of hid
den depots of arms to the realms of
fable. Not even the liberal and rad
ical elements, however, had sus-
pected the existence of such a stock
of field guns
Officials who had been lulled into
security by the reports of the Gov

tary commission, that no pressing
military danger was pending from
Pomerania, are again pointing

Agrarian stronghold. The Tageblatr

DC. PARK COPS
MAY GET BONUS
Proposed Amendment to
District Bill Also Aids
Firemen.

An amendment by Senator Spen-
Ger, of Missouri. to the District ap-
propriation bill, provides that a
bonus of $3.50, one-half that granted
other government employees, shall be
added to the salaries of officers and
members of the United States park
police and the FIRE department of the
District of Columbia.
The bill, which was recently re-
ported from the Appropriations Com
mittee, is expected to come up for
discussion in the Senate tomorrow.
Important features are the half-and-
half plan, which was restored in the
Senate committee. and District taxa
tion. The house imposed an addi-
tional tax of l per cent, making a,
total increase of 66 2-3 per cent in
the rate of District taxation. This
provision was eliminated by the Sen
ate committee and a sliding scale
of increases provided instead.
Senator Warren. chairman OF the
committee. and Sem
ator Curtis. chairman of the sub
committee which had charge of re-
vising the bill, assert that it will
pass the Senate without serious op-
position. Senator Warren said that
he expects some opposition to the
half and-half provision, but believed
IT would be retained.

If there is TO be form Of democracy
in America that can be differentiated from
anarchy, all our citizens should be made TO
respect our laws. No one has right to
complain when the aw is lmpartlally
enforced. In no state Of this union does
the law compel anyone to attend church,
nor is such law contemplated by any
one. Our laws, however, are based on the
Christian religion. Our government en-
courages faith in the principles and pre-
cepts of the Holy Bible. 1t is a matter of
common observation that the preaching
of Gods word has a restraining influence
on the evil propensities OF mankind.
Public and private morals are conserved
and rectified through the truth
Remember the Sabbath day TO keep
it holy" is one of the Ten Commandments
given bv God TO Moses on Mount Sinai
When this commandment is enforced
upon a State or nation in the spirit OF
Him who said: "The Sabbath was made
for man and not man for the Sabbath, y
il will work hardship upon no one and
prove blessing to all.
Experience proves two things that are
of value to this discussion First, our
Sunday or Sabbath laws are as easy to
enforce as any law upon the statute books;
second, where thay are faithfully enforc-
ed, all other laws relating TO vice and
crime are more easily enforced. On ac-
count of these undisputed facts, there is
every reason in law and in morals, for
the public welfare. that our sacred in
stitution of the Sabbath should be main
tanned and perpetuated.
