Herbert Hoover, the new president of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers, told the literal truth
last night when in opening discussion on the stability
OF the buminous mining industry he declared "it is
the worst functionng industry in the whole world"
The deplorable feature about it is that the very
people who should be vitality interested in better
ing conditions are, except relatively small humber
not only Indifferent but reactonary The public finally
has its eye firmly fixed the coal industry however
and will either have to hump itself get hurt That
means that the whole industry, not merely few lead
crs, must get heartily into the activities the national
and regional coal associations cooperate in every
possible way in the effort to the reproach that
the industry is the most inefficient on record.

Samuel Gompers yesterday made an appeal to the
American people not to turn their backs upon Russia
but like good many other appeals of this kind, Mr.
Gompers fails to provide program for helping Russia
and 1t is the lack Of such program that deters people
from making positive efforts on behalf Of the Russians
When America finds out how it can help Russia and
not be in danger of helping merely small fraction of
the Russians there will be need to make appeals
The American people have always been the side of

Political harmony often means that
a full agreement has been reached OF
how to do the public.
The politicians are all for woman
suffrage now. Also the cats all hang
around the butcher shop.
The bars are all supposed to have
gone. but the free boarders at Canyon
City have not yet noticed it.
Industrial harmony also frequently
suggests that all parties are agreed on
policy of soaking the public.
Why is it then when potatoes began
to drop in price. they didn't taste so

So far no one has claimed that the

some splendid nominations when they
see little chance of electing anybody.
