"considerabIe Feeling"

From the New York World,
The federal reserve banks appear to
have earned last calendar year not less
than SIS 5000, 900, which is rully 100 per
cent on their capital. AS the member
banks which provide this capital are en-
titled to per cent cumulative dividends
and no more, it is evident that your
Uncle Samuel, as the owner of residuary
profits, has been doing a little modest
proiteering Of late on his own account.
But what will surprise the country, as
it seems to be surprising the private
member banks, is how they ever man
aged to let Uncle Sam 'get away with"
all this profit which is now largely avail
able for purchases and cancellation of
Liberty bonds. The banks are appar
emily SO amazed and chagrihed that thew
even entertain hopes of being able to
get it back for addition to their own
fat profits. "There is" says the New
York Journal Of Commerce, "undoubt-
eddy considerable feeling among member
banks that they would like to obtain a
share in the earnings of the reserve
banks But it looks as though this

Status Of Suffrage Amendment.
From the Pjttshurrh Sim

From the Pittsburgh Sun.
With the equal franchise amendment
ratified by three-fourths of the requisite
50 states, 1t becomes apparent that if the
ballot is not nationally granted to women
early this year it will not be because of
the opposition Of non-suffrage legisla-
lures. but because or the obstruction or
d!sinteres1 of states where women have
previously been granted the right to
vote. When the amendment was sub
United by congress, women enjoyed Mt
least presidential suffrage III u COM
monwealths. With ratification assured
by these q, only nine nonsuffrage states
would have been needed to make the
proposal law. Twenty-seven states have
now ratified. and in the list are eight
states that had not of themselves given
the women representation. Not in the
list are eight states that had enfran-
chised women.
The long fight of the women is being.
won Three states will act soon, all
favorably.Iit is believed. And with sue
: cess sure, there will probably be a last
minute rush to mount the band wagon.
But less credit for the victory will go

measures to sift these great waste piles

On a French Train.

From "a Year as a Government Agent"
by Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse.
Travelling in the French railway
compartments was agony to me, be-
cause there is a piece of metal that
runs down the middle of the COM
partments between the two rows of
seats, and that is the heating appa-
ratus! You cannot sit on your foot
very comfortably, because the seats
are not wide enough. and you soon
begin to feel cramped. The foot you
are not sitting on has to rest on the
heating apparatus. II you wear the
kind of high leeled thin soled Ameri-
can slippers that have always worn

OF heating to fellow travellers, who,
sat with both feet firmly planted on
the metal strip, and they generally
seemed to think it satisfactory, al
though they said sometimes their
leather soles were burned and then
they didn't wear so long.

Howard Taft. sx-president OF the
United States said here Saturday
that the pubic will side with Secre-
tary OF state Lansing in the con-
troversy with President Wilson
which resulted in the resignation of
5 Mr.. Lansing.
II believe that Secretary Lansing
was acting altogether within his
rights in calling conferences Of the

would no call them cabinet meetings.
To my mind calling such meetings
does not constitute an assumption OF

Profits of Coal Mining.

From the New York Times.
The fallibility of statistics has seldom
been more strkingly illustrated than in
ex-Secretary McAdoo's statement issued
at the time of the soft coal strike. Ac-
cording to the income tax returns on
file at Washington, he said, many mines
in Pennsylvania made wartime profits
of more than 1000 per cent. The state
ment provoked much scandalized COM
,nent, and, even in the face of the ex-
posture and suffering caused by the
strike, created widespread sympathy for
the miners.
An explanation was Immediately is
sued by the mine owners. Admitting
that such profits were possible, the
statement said that they could be made
only by the '''snowbird'' type of mine
small deposits of coal which are operated
by companies having small capitaliza-
tons and are in a large measure
manned by the owners. Such mines, IL
vigorously worked in wartime, might
yield almost any rate of profit. But,
as the mine owners statement said, such
mines are rare and the total of their
output is negligible.
Figures said to be representative of
the industry as a whole have now been
submitted to the coal strike commits
sion at Washington. Statistics for 1919
which have been gathered from 80 per
cent of the mines in the central COM
petitiye field show that, Il an increase
of Il per cent in wages be applied
throughout 1920, these companies will
realize less than 1 per cent net return
on their capital Investment" In the
southern Ohio, the central Illinois, and
other representative districts the results
will be similar or worse. The Pitts
burg Coal Producers Association, which
turns out more than 22,000,0O0 tons, or
Is per cent of the total output of the
central field, reports that if the IA per
cent wage increase had been applied
through 1919 they would have faced
deficit of more than $4,000. 900.

would have been frozen to death.

POLITICAL POT
IS BOILING OVER.
Presidential Candidates and
Supporters Make Widely
Divergent Claims as to
Their Support.

Sioux Falls. s. d., Feb. 16.-Tons
Of political literature and propa-
ganda, supported by intensive per-
sonai efforts of campaign managers,
have SO effectively muddled the
presidential situation in South Da-
kota that it is, inoeed, a bold man
who dares to give an unrestricted
opinion on the outcome at the state
primaries on March 20. Sentiment
has been rising and falling like the
tide with the sentiment wavering
from candidate to candidate.
Early in the year il was claimed
Gov. Frank o. Lowden, of Illinois,
was leading in popular favor, espe-
cially in the southeastern portion.
There has been gradual change it is
claimed now and Leonard Wood is
the outstanding candidate. His fol-
lowing is especially strong in the
Black Hills where he is we'll known
on account of his connection with
the late Theodore Roosevelt.
Senator Hiram w. Johnson, Of
California will also receive a goodly
number of votes in South Dakota.
Since his campaign managers have
arrived here, many prominent clti-
zens OF the state have admitted their
allegiance to him.
Last night meetings were held by
the supporters Of both Wood and
Lowden. At the Lowden headquar-
tiers, details in connection with the
governors visit here on February Is
were discussed. Wood will arrive in
the state about the first of March
and Johnson will ba here as soon as
he has recovered sufficiently from
his present illness.
multitude of clubs has been or
ganized all over the state and many
voters frankly admit that they have
