CHARITY VERSUS
THE HARD FIGHT
Decision Which is Most
Important G o m e s
Up Almost Daily
to Adults

Almost every day of an adult per-
sons life it comes up for decision,
(which is the most important in this
case-A No. 1 or the other fellow"
At first it is only. a slight problem
and the determination of it matters
but little to the world. But which
ever way it becomes a habit to de-
eide matters a good deal to the in
dividual. 1t may come easy to deny
charity as a rule but some day 1t will
lead to a hard fight within. The in
dividual finally wants to know what
sort of personality he has developed.
He often finds that good intentions
go along with selfishness.
The Armenian cause is not new
appeal at all, and many folks have
died each year who needed help, and
yet we can not blame ourselves. We
can justify a neutral attitude in al
most every such case; we find 1t easy
to say that the government has done
enough for Europe and will do more
vet and that we have donated and
been taxed until we scarcely claim
our own souls.
That puts us in the clear, we'll say.
We go our ways, and say our pray
ers thanking the Lord for the bless
ings he bestows and some day comes
the hard fight. The issue arrives at a
point where the habit Of charity
alone will save our soul or our self
respect-preserve friendship, per-
haps. Even If we win, it is like q
death bed repentence--quite late In
the game to reform
That habit Of charity is q blessing
in itself equalled by none other. Idle
mouths have often repeated with no
understanding the saying: Charity
begins at home" and let 1t go at that.
It really means what they little think
it means that charity begins in the
heart and within the family circle.
and cannot be bought, bartered for or
enticed within reach by any other
than natural means.
What you might hand out to the
cause Of q suffering people costs you
something, but not so much as 1t
costs to refuse. The money loss Is
less than the character loss. The
character gain much outweighs the
money loss.

SENATE CLIQUE
GUILTY OF BAD
FAITH, SAYS cox
Entire Purpose Destruction of
Treaty and Reputation
of War Aims
SWINGS BACK TO OHIO

EN- ROUTE WITH GOVERNOR cox
IN OHIO, Oct. 14-Asserting that the
presidential election will be referendum
on the League of Nations, Governor Cox
in opening a three day stump campaign
here today declared that his election
would be "a mandate from the people
to the Senate to ratify the treaty" and
for it to do otherwise would be "un-
thinkabIe"
His stateps7t was in reply to the
claim of ex-Pr sdent Taft that even II
the Democrats elected al their senatorial
candidates they would not have enough
to carry the league.
This statement of Mr.. Taft Cox said,
''can mean only one thing, that when
am elected on ight-forward plat
form favoring the league, it is the pur-
pose Of the brazen conspirstors in the
Senate to treat the mandate of the people
with contempt and turn their backs on
the expressed win Of the electorate.
This, in the first place. is unthinkables
and in the second place will not be per-
mitted, for after all this is a democracy
and the will Of the people is triumphant" :"
AGAIN SHARPLY
ATTACKS TAFT.
Cox for the third time during the week
sharply attacked Taft for continuing to
support Harding after the latter'S state
ment at Des Moines that he would reject
the Versailles covenant.
He pointed out that with the league
referendum his defeat would mean that
the country desires to stay out of the
league and that Senator Harding would
be disobeying the mandate of the people
If he yielded to Tafts wish and made
the United States member.
Yet Mr.. Taft still claims that tbs

league if Senator Harding is elected"
the Governor added.
Cox was to conclude the day at Coz
lumbus with a speech that he expects to
be one Of the outstanding ones Of ths
campaign.
At Delphos and Van Vert, Cox brought
cheers from large crowds many times
by his sharp attacks on opponents OF
the covenant.

| league has been coming in so rapidly
in Ohio since Senator Harding's Des
Moines speech that it IS Overwhelming

FUEL SHORTAGE
rs MENACING AS
DEALERS ARGUE
Prospect of Empty Coal Bins
at First Cold Snap Faces
Entire State.
HEARING STILL IS ON

Hundreds of Indiana homes are fac
ing the prospect of empty coal bins
today.
This became known when it was ad-
mitted by indianapolis coal operators
that coal dealers of Elkhart, Hope, South
Bend, Berne, Columbus, Salem, Peru,
Delphi and other cities and towns of the
State are now without coal and are ask
ing the operators to supply them.
The reasons advanced for this condt-
:. tion are
That there is not ton of Indiana coal
on the State market at the price fixed
by the Goodrich coal commission.
That Indiana coal is being diverted to
other markets outside of the State.
That the retailers refuse to buy In
diana coal at the price fixed and mar
gin allowed for handling the coal.
That many contracts for Eastern coal
hare expired and are not being renewed
because of the uncertain condition OF the
market caused by the actions and
threats" of the State Coal Commis
sion
POINT IMPOSsIBILITY
OF STATE MARGINS.
That the retailers cannot pay the
price for spot coal as fixed by the COM
mission and compete with outside map
kets
That the jobbers claim it is impos-
sible to handle coal at $s to 50 on basis
Of a 15-cent margin as fixed by the COM
mission
That the jobbers In Illinois and In
diana, who are the trade links in the
distribution Of Eastern coal in this state,
are divertIng the coal TO other markets,
except contract coal
That the operators are filing their
contracts in Indiana at contract prices
despite the orders of the commission
Inquiries and requests for coal ship
ments by Indiana retailers OF the oper-
ators casts a shadow Of warning and in
dicates that the situation viii become
rmore acute and probably critical with q
change In the weather
In considering the situation of the re-
taller. the most serious problem he bss
TO face is the expiration Of many con
tracts for Eastern coal and the failure
to renew the contracts for Eastern coal
The seriousness of this situation is
Encrease1 by the fact that the Interstate
Commerce Commission is taking approx
mately 20 per cent Of the Eastern coal
for Public utilities in the Eastern states.
CAN'T COMPETE
WITH OTHER MARKETS
The retailers claim that they can not
afford to pay the spot coal price fixed
by the commission and compete with tie
New England, the Northern markets and
the export trade competition.
Il is explained that the retailers would
be willing to handle coal at the price
Fixed by the commission and 1T the mar
gin OF S225 for handling il, but that it IS
q financial impOssibilty to handIe Eastern
: coal at $3.50 and 50 on a margn OF S2-25.
The position Of the jobber is that be
cant handle Eastern coal at q price or
from IS to 50 on margin OF u cents a
ton.
The Jobber. consequently, is divertlns
the Eastern coal, except contract coal, to
markets in other States

The bankers were thinking in Civil
War terms, and in terms of the Spanish
American War. The sincere ones were,
as became men of their calling, cautious,
careful, conservative; the adventurous
ones were eager to take advantage OF
the country's necessities.
But Mr.. McAdoo was not banker.
He was a man Of affairs. He had
vision. He had driven the tubes under
the Hudson River after all others had
failed.
He was accustomed TO meeting new
situations by new methods. He looked
beyond the bankers group Of 4O0,OOC
investors to the America npeople.
THE bankers may have been right
rom their point of view said Mr..
McAdoo. "but their view was too narrow.
'If there were only 100000 investors
who could take only one billion in bonds
it was imperative that the investors
should be multiplied many times. 1t
