Responding 10 the presidents appeal,
John l.. Lewis, president OF the United
Nine Workers OF America, peremptorily
orders the outlaw striking coal miners
In Illinois and Indiana to return TO
work In accordance with their contracts.
At the same time, he administers a
oaustic and deserved rebuke TO Frank
harrington, president of the Illinois
Miners union, who is melting the strike
What response President Lewis order
will bring remains to be seen. 1t is
apparent, however. that he is on warm
trail so far as the cause OF the trouble
is concerned.
Frank lFarrinkton has shown himself
to be In class with such labor lead
ers as William z. Foster and Alexander
Howat. Dissension and strife are their
very breath Of life. They are among
the worst enemies Of the workingman's
tiers OF anarchy in the country The
teers OF anarchy In the country. The
marvel is that those who are trying to
conserve and protect the interests Of
labor along peaceful and constructive
lines remain silent while this "boring
from the inside" Ia going on. It is also
heartening TO note President Lewis re-
fi,snl longer to do so.
American industry lie In a precarlous
situation. II serious difficulty is avoided,
some sober thinking must be done by
everybody concerned. Conditions will
not stand much further strain without
great danger. Already a slowing down
is In progress In some sections. This
cannot be arrested by precipitating I'M
necessary Interruptions. The times en-
nhatically demand period OF peace.

OIL IN DIPLOMACY.

Pouring oil on the troubled waters Is
a metaphor sometimes used to describe
tho process OF reducing public or par
tisan irritation. Oil In that sense, is
considered peacemakers. but IN these

contention--lf the figure is. allowable.
The oil, problem was one of several
which was not satisfactorily solved at
the peace conference. Great Britain,
however, was able to get away with
several things she considered desirable,
including considerable additions to her
OIL producing territory. Clemenoeau is
said TO have lost much popularity In
france because he didn't know where
Mosul Ia nor that II is In an oil field.
But Lloyd George had studied geogra-
ply to more purpose.
Tho American government has also
awakened to the fact that the British
are developing an exclusive sort OF oil
policy Aliens are not TO be permitted
TO develop oil properties In British
controlled territory and the native pro-
Queer Ia not to be allowed to sell oil
to aliens except upon plans supervised
BY the government. In other words, the
o. cation Of an oil monopoly seems to
be one OF the new British policies. It
sNails little to argue that Uncle Sam
did not do that way--that he let every
tody develop oil and buy oil in Amer

nationals may only buy oil as Britain

OIL, therefore, becomes an issue In
International diplomacy. II Is one OF

Gov. Roberts delivered his regular
campaign speech at the courthouse last
night. II contained nothing new, except
a reference 70 the assessment In Ham
liton county In past years. Asserting
that Hamilton county had been paying
on an assessment of IS cents on the
dollar, and that other counties had paid
practically nothing into the state treas
urys the governor sought TO show that
the new assessment law was n favor to
this county rather than burden. How
ever. he did not undertake to explain
why Il became necessary. In the inter-
Get OF fairness, and also In behalf OF
the taxpayers Of the county, for the
county assessor 20 reduce by $4,000, 900
THE assessment made In this county by
the state assessors under the governors
direction. Neither did the governor an

~ TO what his action will be in the con-
test between the state assessors and
Assessor Howell. and the county
equalization board. as TO whose assess
nient win be finally adopted. In his
failure 70 answer this question. the gov
ernor lodged a very Importance issue
IN this county and disappointed many
Of his friends.
y may ne noted also that Gov. Rob-
erfs ignored other important cues
fions that were put mp TO him by this
paper and also by the Times. his sup.
porter In this community. The fact is
that the governor is an artful dodger

JOHN A AND ABBY
SCHOOLGIRL complained tina

A SCHOOLGIRL complained that
IA American history was 81 "littered
up with Adamses" that she couldn't
tell one from the other. Yet this most
distinguished family in our national
biography lived in America one hun
bred and fifty years before it broke
into fame.
When the engagement was an
nOunced of John Adams of Braintree,
Mass, to the daughter of Parson
Smith of the adjoining town of Wey-
mouth, people were shocked that Abby
should marry SO beneath her station.
Was she not a Quincy and a Norton?
And John, the son of a small farmer,
was put down to fourteenth place
among his tw~enty-four classmates,
when Harvard catalogues were made
up according to social rank. After
hat he taught school in Worcester to
get enough money to study law, and
the strictest of the Puritans looked
on lawyers as ungodly.
Father-in-Law Smith was game, and
tradition says hat he preached down
