PUBLICITY ABOUT COAL.

In connection with suggestions for
the regulation Of the coal industry,
isn't it possible that more systematic
publicity would be a good thing? Not
that publicity ought to be accepted
as aSsubstitute for any other measures
that would be helpful. but it seems
as il it might help.
The average individual knows that
coal at the mouth Of the mine is
worth only a comparatively small
sum, and that it costs him u lot. The
difference is added somewhere along
the way, but where, and for what, he
does not know exactly. Suppose that
the entire public were to be !-ept in
formed by near of official bulletins
issued frequently as to current price
of Goa at the mine, freight cost per
ton to nearest points of distribution,
selling price at sue points, lake
freight to Duluth. selling price on the
dock, rail freight to representative
points of consumption, together with
stocks on hand at important points
and stocks in transit.
That would not Of itself affect the
price of coal. But it would enable
the man on the street to know some
thing OF the processes by which the
price is built up. and it would indi-
cate who gets the various additions.
He would hen be in a position to
judge with some intelligence whether
or not any of the charg-c are ex-
orbitant. If it can be demonstrated
that nobody is reaping undue profits
III coal The publication OF the exact
facts would go a long way toward
reconciiing the public to conditions
which now create intense and bitter
dSssa iislaction, and all whose skirts
arc Clear would surely be CAD to aid
in disseminating this information.

A LITTLE TIME Al HOME.
Continued in tomorrow
Evenings Herald.
By Bdsar D. Guese

This lifeshas grown 50 mixed a thing,
with all there is to dc,
One task treads on another's heels
before you're fairly through;
It's business in the morning, when /
e my mail or try,
Before the telephone begins into my
time to pry,
Or visit with a visitor and treat him
as a friend,
Then hustle to a meeting that I've
promised to attend;
But nowhere in the scheme Of life
since I grew-up to roam,
Seems there to be an hour for me to
spend in peace at home.
I would not by a word of mine or
single hasty act
Wound any maj who calls me friend.
I merely state the fact
That life has lost it's olden charm
which long ago it knew
When men could be contented, here
without a thing to do. :.
But now upon a treadmill hat goes
ever round and round
From dawn to midnight T must trudge
for fear that Til be downed;
Uponr schedule I must toll. as ships
that ply the foam,
Chartered for everything except a
quiet hour at home.
When dawn arrives and i've all the
shades Of night descend
Somewhere there is a banquet or a
~ show L must attend;
Into my evening dress I jump the
while my girl and lad :
Stand by me, as I shave myself, to
visit with their dad.
The old time father used to take his
children on his knee,
But that's one happy privilege which.
life denies to me; e
And yet I vow some day we three will
share the evening gloam,
And I will tell them wopdrous tales
the night I stay at Tome: $50
+ often fancy I would ike to catch.
some mild disease
So l might stay in bed awhile and read
what books I please,
Some comfortable. ailmenta which to
suffer I'd enjoy,
With no committees to attend, no
~ phone calls to annoy
A few brief days Of perfect peace, too
i'll to do q thing,
|.Yet not too ILL., to wan to hear the
songs the youngsters sing.
Could I break up the schedule which.
compels me now to roam, Il.
I'd realize my fondest dream-a little

Again we have presented an excell-
ent principle, but without wording
specifications. -.
DIR. Laid recognizes the fact thai
there are already laws on many OF
the above subjects, but he finds many
OF them defective. or poorly admin
:stcred; and he wants the defects re-
moved and the laws enforced. There
is in this nothing that is st%artlingiy
original. From the beginning of time
men have been passing laws, finding
defects in them and their administra-
ton, and trying to remedy the defects
1t will probably be SO until the race
has run>its course.
In closing his statement DR.. Ladd
reverts to his %favorite subject, the
lniquities of boards of trade and the
defects in our marketing system.
somewhat strangely he declares him
self In favor of a marketing system
for farmers comparable to the system
of the Standard Oil. by which the
farmers will control their products
from the point of production to the
ultimate consumer. His advocacy Of
such a system seems strange because
he has become identified with q sys-
tenn whose plans and purposes are
directly opposite. The plan which is
here indicated contomplates the con
troll by producers of their own pro-
ducts as far as they wish to control
them specifically, control Of the mar
keting of farm products by farmers.
The. plan with which DIR. Ladd has
been identified in this state, and of
which he will be considered the spon-
sor in Washington. contemplates the
control OF the marketing of farm pro-
ducts by whatever politicians are
shrewd enough and successful enough
to get themselves elected to office,
and whose election. will depend, not
: on~the votes of farmers alone, but
on the votes Of merchants and black
smiths, bankers and mechanics, law
yers and l%aborers, and the, froth and
dregs of the population who have no
occupation at all. The two systems
are irreconciliiable, and Dr., Ladd
cannot support the one without repu.
dating the other.

CHAPTER XVI.

Late in January Michael was TAX
ing his nightly walk homeward by
way of the Endicott home. He was
convinced that Starr was still away
from home, for he had seen no lights
now for several weeks in the room
that he knew was her own, but there
vas always the chance that she might
have returned.
He was nearing the house when he
saw from the opposite direction a
man turn the corner and with hating
gait come slowly toward the house
and PAUSE before the steps uncertain
~. Something familiar in the mans
attitude caused Michael to hasten his
steps, and coming closer he found
that it was Mr.. Endicott himself, and
his, home as though they had been a
difficult hill which he must climb.
Michael stopped beside him. say
ing good evening, the thrill Of his
voice conveying his w joy in the
meeting in addition to a common
greeting.
rs that you, SOM" asked the older
man swaying slightly toward him.
"'Tm glad you came. 1 feel strangely
dizzy. I wish you'd help me in"
Michael's arm, was about the others
shoulders at once inc his ready
strength almost lifted his benefactor
up the steps. His steady hand with
the. key made short work Of the night
latch, and without waiting to call a
servant he helped Mr.. Endicott up to
his room to his bed. /.
! The man sank back YEARLY with q
sigh and closed his eyes. then sudden
ly reused himself.
THANK you, Son; and will you send
a message to Starr that ] am not able
to come on tonight as l promised?
Tell her I'll likely be all right ton.or-

find the address, at the head OF the
telephone list in the hall there. ]

doctor. / don't seem to, feel like my.
self. There must be something the

Michael hurried to the phone and
called up the physician begging hin
to come at once. for he could see thai
