the Socialist members have not ai- tered their opinions-and their opin- ions were not exactly 100 per cent American.
 It is said that pressure of busi- ness for the Assembly is one of the causes for the failure of the Assem- ply to plan custer proceedings. Per haps that is the truth.
 But how fine 1t would be If the tmpelling motive were one that would como up to the basic ideals Of this country. IL has been shown that these men represent their communi- ties. It has heen shown that there is strong feeling. especially in the Bronx. New York. that these men are honest and are working for the best interests of those in their home districts.
 It would he q splendid aim were tho leaders to plan to pass laws and take actions so eminently fair. so free from the influence of special interests, so palpably just to all the people. that they would convince these Socialist representatives that they are mistaken in their beliefs and that a great state Assembly is. after all. a fair and just legislative body. How fine 1t would be to have the people back home"-the home from which come these members-be convinced. through a change of heart Of their representatives. that they too should put their trust in that Assembly they formerly denounced because of its custer Of it's representatives.
 Most of us believe that justice pre- dominates in our American legisIa- tive bodies. May those bodies make this fact so clear that even Socialists may not doubt. The New York As sembly as a reformatory is a strange thought but not beyond the realms of possibility.

COAL MINERS ARE
 MUCH DISSATISFIED
Joint Scale Committee. Have Idea ot Reopening Wage Agreement
 Entered Into in Fall.

Philadelphia, Dec. 6.-The joint scale committee of anthracite opera tors and miners, who have under consideration the reopening of the wage agreement entered into early in the fall met here today to continue their deliberations. The mine work CTS were not satisfied with the award, declaring the wage increases granted did not compare with those given the soft coal miners throughout the coun- try and also that differentials existing between different classes of workers were distributed.
 The operators and miners have been deadlocked over the interpreta- tion of President Wilson's communA. cation authorizing them to reopen negotiations. The operators contend ed the presidents letter limited nego- tiations to adjusting inequalities while the miners claimed the president did not intend to keep the negotiations within such narrow limits.
 When the matter was appealed 10 Secretary of Labor Wilson at Wasn- ington last week, he issued a state- ment in which he said he ''inrer- preted the communication of the president to mean that the govern- ment will not interfere with the joint scale committee in making any changes which they say mutually agree should be made"

YALE FOOTBALL.

The Yale Alumni weekly, in it's last ! needs the family doctor. The doc l tors. whoever they were, a few years ] hack, a ways gave the right dope" and the Yale team seemed stronger for the injector. In recent years. the scholastic requirements have gone up. and 1t has been harder to get in Yale. but there has be, n no leniency on the part of the examining oard. or on the part of the professors 10 stretch a point in favor Of an athlete.
 Many Of the athletes gb to tutoring school in order that they might keep pace with the scholars who give all their time to their studies. It is un- fortunate that the tutoring schools are not favored by the maj jority of profess sors. and if it is known that u man goes to one of fthese schools to catch up, the profes O. Is not as lenient as he might be. II is the old fight be- tween tutoring schools and the faculty. The tutoring schools can pay their in- structors more, a fact that is not rel ished by an instructor or professor in the university.
 A man may he a genius in football and fair in his studies. Football will take h's time. and 1t Is the natural course of events that his studies suffer for a short time. What is the out come? He goes to toutoring school | for n time to. review for test, the in- | structor knows it, and the athlete, to | say the least, deserves the mark which he receives. Sometimes it is not a nattering mark. The athlete is wor. ricd. and football and studies 10th suffer for the man is not at his best.
 Maybe the family doctor will pre- scribe that the professors be more lenient with the athletes. He may even go so far as to suggest a system by which the university and the tu- toring schools might pull together in the case of the athlete. The feeling of animosity between the university snd the tutoring field should not he pushed off on the athlete to bear the l brunt.
 There are many star athletes fright ened off by the requirements to get in Yale. they go elsewhere. for they know of the feeling between the tu- toring schsols and the university.
 The family doctor has a case on hIs hands. and he will have to consider all sources Of the ailment. The first pre- scription will be to cut out worry. and worry on the part of an athlete can be traced back to studies. Why s man worries over his studies may be traceable to the fact that he went to tutoring school to prepare for a test and from so doing, assured himself oi low mark. Let's hope the Doctor gives this fact passing thought.

"JEST RUMINATIN'."
(Robert Russell.)

The man who is the President or these United States. though havin' reached the point where life, uncertain. hesitates. would speak again to Congress and in one last sad appeal. would try to typify in man a wonderful ideal A lot O us may differ from the thoughts that he has had: a lot of us may figure his administration bad. But few there are who do not give our admiration free to him who planned for peace at home for peace across the sea. And if he speaks to Congress there1l be silence all around-a silence, dead. O great respec. for somethin' yet uncrowned. The germ O his Idea will bring forth some distant day. the flower beautiful O peace for which he paved the way. There's pathos in the picture O our President so ill: there's inspiration in the fight that he is maxim still. He may be wrong in many things. but right he is in creed: to work for peace, an. in the end, to see all nations freed.

TROOPS CALLED OUT
National Guard On Duty At Wise. Va, As Result of Mob>' Attempt to Lynch Negro.

Wise. Va. Dec. 6.-with the arrival early today of detachments of Ma tional Guard troops from Roanoke and Lynchburg the authorities be- lieved they had under control the sit uation resulting from storming yes- terday of the county jail by a mob bent on lynching a negro charged with assaulting and robbing an aged white merchant. The determined resistance of Sheriff Corder and his deputies barricaded in the jail and the death of Tate Blondell, alleged leader of the mob. during the OK change of shots. effectively checked the mob until the arrival of The troops. Threats that another and larger mob was forming for an att tack last night failed to materialize. A machine gun had been mounted on the jail and the defenders were cr- dered to shoot to kill"
 So far as could be learned today the death of Blondell and the serious wounding of John R. Lewis. another alleged mob member were the only casualties. Lewis has three bullet wounds in the chest and his condi- tion is said to be serious.
