It is strange what stuff some folks are made of. Tod Binder reads lots. He knows all about the World War, Lloyd George and Article 10 in the dead peace treaty, but of his own state and county he is as ignorant as a mule Got a family too, and he don't even know the name of our county superintendent CT circuit clerk.

They are finding that sovietism doesn't pro- duce anything automatically; that men must toll to produce, and that he who tolls is entitled to the fruit of his toil. and is in no sense morally bound to divide with the man who does not labor.

Two ways oI Leeking q Dea.E.

From fhe Kansas City Star.
 Easter day brings home the fact that there are two ways of looking at death. One is what might be called the natural or perhaps pagan way, the other the Christian way Neither re- gards death as anything to fear. The cultured man, without Christian hope, thinks of death in the words of Mar GUS Aurelius:
 Do not despise death, but be
 we'll content with it, since this,
 too, is one of those things which
 Nature wills.
 Or he may assume with Walter Savage Landor that life is a gift. We are thankful for so much of it as comes to us, and we do not complain when the gift is withdrawn:
 I have warmed both hands at the
 fire of life.
 It sinks, and I am ready to de-
 part.
 In contrast with the resignation of such writers is the passionate convic- tion of immortality of the Apostle Paul, born of the Easter hope: 70 death, where is thy sting? o grave, where is thy victory?" And this great outpouring of confidence in the eighth chapter of Romans:
 For am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
 In these vivid and majectic lines is the essence of the Christian message, not only on death, but on life as we'll

ILLINOIS COAL DELEGATION
CONTINUE THEIR FIGHT

A delegation OF the Illinois Coal
operators headed by E. c. Searles,
president of the Illinois Coal OPP
orators Association, and F. c. Hon
mold, secretary of the association,
conferred with Secretary to the
President Tumulty yesterday rela-
tive to the strike situation In the
coal mines of Illinois. A number
of recommendations were sub
mitted which the operators wished
to present to the President and by
which it is thought the strike in
the Illinois fields may be averted.
The delegation later went to the
Department of Labor to confer with
Secretary Wilson. 1t is expected
that they will discuss informally
with him the labor situation and
scale of pay now obtaining in the
mines and what adjustments IL any
are necessary to induce the men
to return to work.
In a statement yesterday the
mine operators asserted they are
powerless to deal with miners de-
mands and insist upon maintenance
of existing contract. They denied
they were disinclined to grant
higher wages. but said the govern
ment should initiate any action to
this end.

HIGHER RATES
Excessive Charges on Loans
Leads |. G. e. to Start
Investigation.

The inability of the railroads to
obtain loans of private capital ex-
cept at interest rates far in ex-
cess of the rates charged on gov
ernment advances from the $780,
900. 900 railroad revolving fund yes
terday caused the Interstate Com
merce Commission to order an in
vestigation of the situation. An
open hearing was set for Thursday,
July 90, to discuss in detail the
rates of interest the carriers may
be required to pay.
The attention OF the commission
was called to the situation con-
fronting the roads by companies
which had applied for government
loans and had been granted ad-
vances in accordance with the
terms Of the transportation act pro-
viding that government loans be
matched by the railroads with
amounts raised privately. Thus far
the commission has certified to the
Treasury loans aggregating S22, ,oo0,-
900 contingent upon the carriers
raising their contributions at rates
of interest varying from 6 to
per cent. The bulk Of the appli-
cations for government loans filed
by the roads still are-before the
commission because the roads hnd
IL impossible to obtain private cap
itaI except at interest rates sub
stantially higher than the rates OF
s and Z per cent. That the COM
mission believes the roads should
get their private loans at rates no
higher than the ones already au-
thorized is apparent from the fol-
lowing statement made by the COM
missioners on June Z, and reiterat-
ed yesterday:
The commission Is OF the opin-
ion that the contributions Of pri-
yate capital to meet the loans OF
the government should be obtained
at reasonable interest charges.
These funds will be invested. not
alone for the purpose of securing
direct returns. but for the purpose
of gaining the indirect benefits
which will accrue IL carriers are
enabled better to meet the trans
portation needs Of the country. 1t
should be possible to obtain these
contributions in part from the ship
pers of the country. who are suf-
fering from inadequate transporta-
ton. A proper spirit of co-opera-
tion should make 1t possible to Sc
cure private funds at rates not in
excess Of the rates which the gov
ernment itself accepts"

PLANS UNDER WAY TO
RESTRICT GASOLINE USAGE

Rationing Of gasoline supplies
along strict lines is planned by the
large oil refining companies to avert
a shortage of the product and pre-
vent further rise in gasoline
prices. 1t was learned here yester-
day that plans to this effect have
been submitted to government Off.
cials for consideration, with the
warning that unless gasoline con-
sumption is reduced materially or
immediate steps are taken to re-
strict the use of the product, gaso-
line prices soon will exceed 40 cents
a gallon, possibly going to even
higher levels
Representatives of the principal
oil refining companies are under
stood to have told officials here that
gasoline consumption now is ex-
ceeding 100000 gallons per day.
as compared with the average daily
production of gasoline of 1900, 600
gallons. The constant deficit of
more than 100000 gallons per day
between the production and con-
sumption of gasoline, II was said. is
making heavy inroads upon the re-
serve stocks of gasoline, now to-
falling little more than 10000, 900
gallons.

OF
RUSSIAN TRADE
State Department Will Take
Steps to Widen Busi-
ness Intercourse.

Action will be taken by the State
Department possibly before the end
Of next week to widen business in
tercourse between the United States
and Russia, it was learned from re-
liable sources here yesterday. The
next step of the State Department
in the Russian trade situation is
to permit the importation Of Rus
sian gold into the United States in
line with the new policy of the gov
ernment permitting the resumption
of trade relations between the
United States and Russia on an in
formal basis. and without govern
ment protection.
Whatever gold is shipped into
the country from Russia under the
plan now before State Department
officials for approval, will be taken
into custody by the government to
ascertain the methods by which the
consignor in Russia obtained the
metal, and to ascertain by what
right the shipment was made. II q
clear title to the gold is established,
1t will be relinqVished and given
into the care of the consignee here.
Gold shipments, the title to which
cannot be cleared up, or in which
doubt exists as to the legitimate
title of the shipper will be kept
under government control until the
owner is found.
Gold shipments aggregating from
SAC, 900, 900 to s70,000,oo0 according
to confidential information received
here, may be made legitimately by
the Bolsheviki though recognition
given by the State Department to
the right of the present Russian
government to a certain amount of
gold now under its control. How
ever. large quantities Of other gold,
held by the Bolshevik authorities
and declared to have been seized
Illegally will be held by the gov
ernment IL shipment of the gold is
made to this country.
1t was made plain at the Federal
Reserve Board yesterday that no
action ever has been. taken in that
quarter prohibiting incoming ship
ments of gold from Russia. and that
no such action Is contemplated. The
only restrictions put into efect by
the Federal Reserve Board affecting
Russian trade are those prohibiting
the shipment OF gold and silver
bullion and other money from the
United States to Russia as a part
of the international economic block
ade. of the Bolshevik territory.

the market closed 1-2 to / cent
lower. Commission houses were
liberal buyers. Traders were inter-

of high temperatures damaging the
crop. Some authorities estimated
the loss as high as 30 per cent in
Minnesota and 40 per cent in some
parts of South Dakota.
Tho corn market opened weak. On
the break buying credited to Ar
rnour appeared. The market gained
strength later in the day. The mar
ket closed about cent lower COM
pared with yesterdays close. Hot
weather was reported from all parts
OF the corn belt. and the crop was
said to be developing satisfactorily.
From Kansas came q report that hot
winds were damaging the crop, but
the situation was not considered
serious.
Oats closed at a decline of SIS to
l cent compared with yesterdays
close. The market opened at q de-
cline, and the break brought out q
further demand from big elevator
interests. This buying disclosed the
market in an oversold condition. and
forced early sellers to cover. Near
the close cash houses were found
on the buying side.
Rye declined l "a to 2 cents, and
barley was Ia to 4 cents higher.
