Quiek Coniiscation-sIow Pay

Senator Howard Sutherland Of West
Virginia, has called the attention Of
his colleagues to practice of the Fed
eral Railroad Administration that is
working ruin to the coal business of
his State. During the recent coal
shortage il became necessary for the
Federal authorities to divert coal ship
ments to points where there was the
most urgent need without regard to
their intended destination. That prae-
tice still continues to some extent In
practically every case the Railroad
Administration apparently thinks its
duty was fulfilled when the diversion
was made, and has not exerted itself
in the least TO secure payments from
those who received the coal. As re-
suit many Of the operators, especially
the smaller concerns, are on the verge
of bankruptcy. One operator has had
to send representative into the West
and Southwest with 1000 notices OF di-
yerted coal in an attempt TO secure
payment. Senator Sutherland thinks II
is up to the Railroad Administration
TO see that the coal which was confis-
Gated is fully and promptly paid for.

add that "there is plenty of food and

The words might well have been re-

which is true, that the less socialism
the more food. II other countries

WILSON NOT AMERl-
CAN SPOKESMAN

In October, 1918, President Wilson
issued a carefully deliserated state
ment to the people Of the United
States saying that if the people wish
ed him TO continue as their unembar-
raised spokesman in affairs domestic
and foreign, he begged that they
would return Democratic majority in
both Houses of Congress. Al the
election ten days later, the people re-
turned Republican majority in both
Houses. thus taking the President at
his word and declaring that he was no
longer their spokesman in affairs 40
nestle or foreign. In spite Of that IN
struction from the people, the Presi-
dent appointed himself spokesman for
the people at Paris and went TO
Europe in December, 1918, where, IN
defiance of the advice of large num-
her of Senator's, he insisted that THE
league Of nations should be woven INTO
the treaty of peace.
With all those facts well known
there are some people who now assert
that the people sent Wilson to Europe,
that this nation is morally bound TO
accent his Interpolation Of irrevilant
and needless matter into the treaty
and that If the Senate refuses to ratiy
the treaty as framed the nation repud-
iates its signature.
The facts stated above, and known
TO the whole world, are sufficient to
demonstrate the absolute falsity Of the
claim that Wilson was the spokesman
Of the people OF the United States OF
that the nation is bound by his acts.
Every European delegate to the
peace conference know that Wilson
had been rejected at the polls on his
own terms. that the constitution re-
auiures ratification By and with th'
advice and consent Of the Senate, and
| that a sufficient number Of senator 2
