SOFT COAL PRICES.

Promises that the price of soft coal, which has already experienced a drop, will go below five dollars ton at the
 mines will be welcome news to the users of this fuel. Th@ reduction that has taken place and that which is promised
 may be regarded as important in connec- ton with the demand for lower prices ir all directions and the curtailment of op- erations due to lack of orders which iS attributed to the fact that. uncertain con- ditions make it inadvisable to lay in large stocks of goods or to fill ware
 houses with them when produced from high priced materials along with which high priced fuel likewise plays it's part.
 But the fact that coal prices have been reduced and are going to be still further reduced gives the in,ression that such action is being taken as the result of in quiries that are being made into the cir cumstances surrounding coal production
 If such reductions are efforts to get un- der cover sight should not be lost of tlfe fact that if what ls being done now could have been done months ago the reason why it was not and the responsibility fo1 it ought to be straightway determined.
 It is realized that the price at the
 rnne is not the only expense attached tc securing the delivery of coal, but there is no more reasSn why unjustiied prices should be insisted upon there than else i where and the committee engaged 1T i locking into this coal price question should rot be satisfied solely with th' 1 driving down of prices Consideration i should be given to the profiteerirg tha | has been going on wherever discovered.

thorities would not undertake to prose tute those who sold such beer, but that violations of the federal law would, be left for the government authorities to handle it doesn't mean that Massachu- sets people would be immune from pros ecution under the Volstead act but it would have the meaning that unless fed hral authorities are much more concerned with the violations of the Volstead act than they are at the present time there would be certain ground for those desir- Ing to deal in such beer to feel that there was a certain degree of safety for such business.
 Massachusetts has at least gone on record against the amount of alcohol per Nuitted in beverages under the Volstead act. It has likewise given notice to the federal authorities in charge of the up- holding of the Volstead act that in only such cases where the alcoholic content of beer is over PTS per cent by weight. and that means $40 per cent. by volume, will it undertake to participate in enforcing Nac Volstead act

Sunday Morning Talk
Practicing the Presence of God,

Let us draw near with true heart and full assurance of faith Heb. 10:22.
 It is good for me to draw near to God, Psalm 73:38.
 , There is one thing we must not over look which is almost essential to a life of blessedness; it is the being frequent ly alone with God. We can have Him with us in life's activities, in any full de- gree, only when we give ourselves suita- ble. pause to think of God to commune with Him and let Him come in and fill our souls. The time need not be long, but it should be habitual; preferably in the early part of the day when our. minds are fresh and our hearts unburdened.
 Every one of us needs this intercourse with God, and when we get it the effect is like when one looks at the sun. You gaze a moment at the sun, and then look about you on the earth and everywhere you see the sun. Up the street in yon- der doorway, among the hurrying people you seem to have brought the sun down by your look and now you see 1t all about you. This same thing Is what happens to disciples of Christ, when you recognize the religious value of a quiet hour and you give yourself pause to look into the face of God. By so doing you bring H1m down into your immediate sur roundings. In the midst of the throng- ing people who press upon your daily life, when you enter the doorway of your office, store, or shop, or duties pursue you in the home, everywhere you see God, are conscious of His presence, and walk with His light irradiating the whole l horizon of your activities

In view of the conditions that have been notice canot fail to be taken of the contrast that is presented by the action 0f the present Mexican government in dealing with murders of Americans in that country. In the past few years there have been many hundreds of Amer leans killed in the republic to the south of the Rio Grande with very little or no e1ort put forth to punish those who were responsible for it. The very attitude of tae government made it evident that thers need be little restraint exercised in such a direction by those who developed troshle with American citizens or those who sought for no good reason to kill the subjects of this country
 Mexico never had 10 pay very severely for such killings. but with the present vorerrment there is evident feeling that fl it ever expects to cultivategthe friendship that should exist between neiehboring countries it must demon. strate that it intends to protect the lives and the properties of Americans. who in many instances are responsible for a large measure of the development takine place in that country.
 Thus when word reaches Washington tD the effect that one at least of those Involved in the staying of Americans has been brought to trial. found guilty and cxecuted there Is tangible evidence that the Mexican government as at present constituted has undergone an important and commendable change
 Mexico in the recognition of it's short. comings and in it's .endeavors to over. come them is adopting a most valuable rolicy for It's own good but also paving the way in a very necessary manner for the much desired recognition it seek, From this and other countries.
