TELLS HOW TO MAKE COAL
LAST LONGER.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Various suggestions have Of late
been made How to make coal last
longer" One party stated that =
teaspoonful Of saltpeter should be
dissolved in half a pint Of water and
this solution poured over a bucketfuI
Of coal. while another party said
that il a pounC Of washing soda dis
solved in a bucketful ~ water and
then thrown over 200 pounds OF coal
the burning power will be mucn
prolonged. Both Of these SEE
tions have been .f-stcH
and proved very inadeqUsts ans G.,
pensive when used in lsEEr guar
Titles. The soapy water that .E rs
in the family laundry is 1rch rro-r
effective in making coal t,-~ 'r-fr.
than either saltpeter or wasnt..
soda alone. and costs nothing u
has been fully proved that when d =
material that falls into
the sshholder under the furnace Gra
is soaked for twelve hours in this
soapy solution IL can be again used
as fuel and will obviate the need OF
any ash collector in future.

the most satisfactory solution of the problem is
through the education of men to their response
bities to the community, by making them realize
that they cannot exert unrestraned the power that
they possess without bringing about catastrophe
that will engulf themselves in total ruin, and finally
that when all is said and done, internal conflicts in
our political and economic system must rest for
their control on the sanity of our people
The Railway Labor Board, as at present consti-
tuted without powers to enforce its decrees is in
deed an experiment. but it has far succeeded and
in its conception does avoid the most dangerous
ground 1t would appear, therefore, that until we
have developed our social ideas to these rela-
tonships with more clarity it is desirable to rest
upon our present machinery
The avoidance of destructive conflict between
transportation employers and transportation en-
ployes still be hoped for by the development of
mutuality of respect, good will and mutual response
bility No event in the realm of industrial relations
that has occurred during the past year is more full
of promise than the meeting between the employers
and employees of the Pennsylvania Railway, who
have come together with the resolve to establish a
broader and more intimate relationship than has
hitherto existed
This is indeed, the safe and sane road to travel
There some relationships between men that
cannot be solved by law While law could be de-
vised that would set the stage and perfect the
scenery for such improvement in these relationships
the mutual good will which is essential to their con
tnuaon is not likely to prosper if the door of the
Jail is to be the exit from the stage.

BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

The discussion in the assembly
of the league of nations at Geneva
is full of instruction to those who
follow it with some understanding
of the currents of opinion that are
conflicting in that body. The atti-
tude of the Argentine republic is
not at all surprising. The prevail
ing party in the Argentine govern
ment guessed wrong" in the great
war by its manifest sympathy for
Germany. This was prompted pos
sibly by a Willingness to differ with
Brazil. which was strongly anti
German. Brazil, as one of the allies,
was given prominent place in the
making of the treaty at Versailles.
and when the membership OF the
council Of the league was tempo
rsrily filled. Brazil was given
representative in this important
body of nine. The jealousy exist
ing in South America between the
A c countries is a constant fac
tor in South American politics.
Therefore, when the Argentine sent
its delegates to the assembly at
Geneva, to find Brazil a part of
the inner circle, they wished a
change. They became quite anxious
toNtake out of the structure of the
league the restraining influence OF
the five great powers upon league
policies. and to turn over the con-
troll to the smaller countries, whose
vote in the assembly would neces-
sarily be decisive, and through

The Best
(From the New York Tribune.)

1t will be agreed that. both for
the good of the country and the
success of his administration, Presi-
dent-elect Harding should invite to
be his Secretary of State and head
of his cabinet
A safe and mature counsellor who
by temperament. experience and
knowledge Is competent to give
sound advice concerning the larger
problems of government;
A representative and widely-known
and trusted leader of the great
party which the public overwhelm-
ingly declared in the recent election
1t desired to have return to power.
A skilled expert in the particular
duties of the State Department, his
mind enriched by long study and
reflection;
An international statesman of es-
tablished repute, who has prestige
abroad and whose presence in our
foreign office would thus make easy
many adjustments that otherwise
may be difficult.
Little division of opinion exists as
to what American most completely
measures up to these several re-
quirements. 1t is In accord with the
common voice to say that this
American is Elihu Root. Other men
possess one or more of the desir-
able qualifications, but Mr.. Root has
them all. 1t follows that any Sc
lection other than him would be
the choice of a second best-would
involve unnecessary neglect of su-
preme fitness.
President-elect Harding may well
deem that the present time is not
opportune for a resort to a substi-
tute for the best.

HOROSCOPE.
December 27, 1920.

Copyright. 1920, by the Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate)
This is read as an unpropitious
day by astrologers. Mars, Jupiter,
Mercury and Saturn are all adverse.
1t is sway under which the mind
naturally takes on a somber mood.
Mars is in a place that is believed
to encourage hypersensitiveness and
to cause dissensions.
Warning is given that mental de-
preston will be especially pro-
nounced among the aged who should
avoid retrospection and should as
sumo a positively hopeful point of
view.
Mercury is in a place supposed to
cause forebodings land apprehen-
sions. Messages of an alarming ma
ture may be received by the govern
ment, but the stars presage a year
of national prosperity that may be
disturbed but not seriously affected.
Saturn now gives better promise
concerning the mining situation and
there will be agitation to prevent
future troubles that menace public
welfare.
All the signs forecast improved
conditions for workers everywhere
and generally prosperous outlook
even though the process of after
war deflation will be steady.
Women continue subject to a rule
that presages continued high pay
and general advancement in all in
dustrial matters.
Reforms are to be many in the
coming year when it is prophesied
that the world will begin to realize
that it is still far from real civili-
cation.
Painters are to receive much rec
ognition in the United States where
a better appreciation of art is Nto
be general.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have a strenuous year that brings
many problems which may be salts
factorily solved. Care in money
matters is enjoined.
Children born on this day have the
augury OF serene and happy lives.

Senator Poindexter's Labor Bill.

The passage by the Senate of the Poindexter
antistrike bill has already created some distress in
the minds of the many Senators who were not pres
ent, and it certainly will raise storm in the House
Furthermore, there is little possibility of its being
passed over the Presidents veto.
The bill is based on the assumption that the
public interest in continued operation of our trans
portaton facilities transcends all other interests
that transportation is the life blood of the whole
nation; that cities such New York, with their
usual supply of food for thirty-sm or forty-eiaht
hours can be reduced starvation riot and revou-
ton by the action OF organized labor.
In other words, it is held that the accreton of
power in the hands of organized transport workers
is Such that transcends the power OF the nation
as whole and must be checked.
On the other hand, the impracticability of sup
pressing actions Of this character by the of als
has been demonstrated often enough, and any act
which leads even in minor degree to compulsory
labor is transgression of human rights that men
will not accept,
This is, then, of the irresistible force meet
ing with the impepetrable body. and some other
solution than impact is required.
Ii would appear that most thinkers are agreed
that the line along which must proceed to reach

Disarmament.

The great address disarmament delivered in
Philadelphia by Gen. Bliss, followed by Senator
BoTah's proposal of immediate negotiations with
England and Japan, together with the league as
semoly discussion at Geneva, have brought this
problem again to the forefront. To those who wish
ior practcal results from international action to-
wards peace, this is indeed one of the most inn
mediate fields for action.
The league found itself unable to act because one
OF the most powerfully armed nations-tbe limited
States-retused to cooperate even in discussion al
though all the other powers were represented
1t IS not quite clear why we should confine our
negotiations to two nations, proposed by Senator
Borah, when we can negotiate with all nations
through the league. France also has great navy.
However, If Senator Borahs proposal can get re-
suits, are for it.
lhis is question that concerns American tax
payers to the tune of some $5oo,oooooo annually;
S5oooooooo devoted either to the taxpayers pocket
or to constructive work of government in the pro-
motion of education agriculture and industry would

dreamed by the world.
Yet such a program could be carried out il hat
teships were suppressed With the great deveIop-
ment of the submarine, the purpose of the battle
ship and armored cruiser from the point of view of
hationai defense has IN great degree disappeared
1t is worth considering whether the sortof arm
aheht WHICH IS lnlpled by battleShpS and cruisers
is not predominanty offensive in character rather
than defensive.
1t would also be pertinent for us to emphasize
our views on this whole question by occasional reply
to the opportunities of Europe that we assist their
economic reconstruction
1t might be salutary for US 10 state clearly and
emphatically that we no good purpose in ex-
pending American money in an attempt to rehabil-
late their economic condition so long as thcv pcr-
sst in multiplying efforts through waste entalcd
by armaments.
1t would be equally pertinent for us to remind
the allies that they $4,000 100000 and that
they could pay interest this sum if they would
divert their productivity from batlcshps to inter-
national commodities.
1t might even be worth suggesting that we would
remit to them this interest for some years to assist
their economic rehabilitation provided they would
do away with an armament that not only taxes their
people but imposes similar taxation upon u.s.
In other words, this whole prepostcrous notion of
present armament should be abolished both bv us
and by them. If are still able to exert an
influence in the leadership of the world, we should
indeed exert it to end this vicious and costly rivalry

Thou Shalt Not.

1t is the habit of to chaff at restraint II
is nborn to be wful and break the rules II is
civilization to submit to discipline and to learn self
restraint 1t is lot of fun to break rule or law
If one can put it safely across
The prohibition law offers an opportunity to
bust the law, smash the canters, counter on the
hypocrites and have what Theodore Roosevelt
called bully time" 1t can all be done with a
world of sympathy from bystanders and the en-
thusiastic approval of the onlookers
But it is mistake to take seriously this ebuli-
ton OF irritation at restraint, this champing at the
bit this exhibition of eternal youth 1t is enjoyable
only so long as certain novelty lends entcement
1t is in itself sort of intoxicant.
1t is admitted that the fundamental of all social
union is thou shalt not" Everyone daily refrains
from doing what law custom forbds Everyone
daily and almost unconsciously does and does not
do according as law and custom command
But" they say, "by the eternal, no one shall
tell me what 1 shall or shall not eat and drink"
Yet the law does just this as game and fish out
of season Indeed, for series of years. States have
forbidden anyone to eat the flesh of certain game
birds and animals.
Those of certain churches eat no meat on GER
tain days and nothing at certain times; others can
at no time eat certain meats. 1t was forbidden

for the strength or usefulness OF
the association.
Should the action OF the Argen-
tine delegates not be productive OF
a breaking up of the league, We can
be very certain that the delegates
will return, in spite OF the "irrevo-
cable" determination now expressed
to remain out of the league. Under
the terms OF tho league. two years
remain as locus poenitentlse"
during which the Argentine could
return, with all the powers and priv
ileges of a member. il is satisfac-
tory to note that this action by the
Argentine delegates is not receiv-
ing the approval Of the leading
newspapers of that country, and
that the delegates OF the assembly.
while expressing polite regret at
the withdrawal of the Argentine
delegates, do not manifest the anx-
ious concern over il which the van
ity of the Argentine delegates would
welcome. There is every ground
for hope that this Argentine coup"
will prove but a flash in the pan.

PROTESTANT FAyORs FREEDOM
FOR IRELAND.

To the Editor The Washington Herald:
In my judgment England has no
more right to enslave and oppr~ss
the people OF Ireland than George
III TO enslave and oppress the
American colonists, and pray that
the day is not far distant when the
citizens OF ireland will be as free
OF the English yoke as we of
America are today.
I am not. and have never been, a
Roman Catholic, and my desire to
see ireland free is not based on
religious grounds. but on the
heaven-born principle OF human
freedom. i am a Protestant. Nv
father was a Methodist. my mother
Baptist. Both taught me that
political and religious liberty
should be the chief aim Of all
righteous governments. hence my
wish TO see the Irish freed from tho
British empire. just as the Ameri-
cans were freed as a result OF the
Revolutionary war.
do not think any people should
be enslaved because OF their reliE-
ious faith. ] demand absolute re-
liEious freedom for the Protestant
and Catholic. Moslem and Jew.
Freemason and knight of ColUm-
bus. Any other principle OF gov
ernment or religion Is. TO my mind.
obnoxious to equal justice.
l would shed my last drop %
blood for the privilege Of worship
ing God as choose. or To belong 20
a Masonic lodge. and ] want others
to enjoy the same rights ! demand
for myself.
The Protestant Is entitled to re-
ligious freedom anywhere on earth.
likewise the Catholic, Jew. Moslem
or votary OF any other faith. There
fore I favor liberty for the Irish.
