GARFIELD AND THE COAL SITUATION

~
The circumstances of the resigna-
ton Of DR.. Harry A Garfield, fuel ad-
ministrator. are likely to keep him in
the public eye for some time for the
reason that he is understood to believe
that the work Of the commission au-
thorized under the settlement. to be
made up of one coal mine operator. a
coal miner and third person named
to represent the public, will result in
M increase In the price Of coal to the
consuming public.
To this form Of settlement Doc
tor Garfield has been unalterably op-
posed. 1t has been learned on good
authority that he took no part in the
negotiation with the mine workers

We MUST GROW INTO SHIP HABIT

John Barton Payne. chairman Of
the United States shipping board, in q
statement to the Southern Commercial
congress, said In part:
My conclusion is, 1t is not possible
to have successful American mer-
chant marine until the country grows
into the ship habit. The American
newspapers and magazines must
arouse the thinking men among manu-
facturers, investment bankers. farm
ers. and labor to the necessity for
merchant marine.
The congress is giving the matter
close attention, and besides the Greene
bill should pass mortgage bill sub
etantially like the one now before the

mittee, to guarantee investors a lien
for the purchase price of the ships
which will. in financial circles. have
as much value as railroad mortgage,

arrest young Thompson on charge
Of stealing tools in, Adams county y :.
The fOnr policemen drove TO the
house and entered by, both the front
and rear doors. The mother and her
son. Albert Thompson; 70, showed the
police about the house and n thorough
search failed to reveal the hunted man.
The mother, according to the police,
was insistent that her boy was out of
town.
The officers asked to see the base
ment and their request was complied
with, three of them--Barry, BoggiO
and Chuyen--inspecting the quarters.
Meanwhile $, S,hneidcr had stumbled
upon blind stairway leading to an
attic. Without calling the sOther Of
ficers he mounted the stairs and be-
gan a search of IL small room ut the
sop, using his searchlight to penetrate
the darkness. ~
Suddenly he felt revolver thrust at
his side and heard the words, You've

son instructed Schneider to enter u
small room and as lie did SO the of
ficer quickly slammed the door shut
with his foot, leaving the gunnan on
the outside.
The other three policemen failing to
find any trace of Thompson in the
basement and thinking perhaps that
the mother was truthful about her
sons absence, prepared to leave the
house, expecting to find Schneider
waiting outside. Then they heard the
the muffled cry, Look out, Sarge!
He's got me-"
Instantly the thought that Schneider
was being held mt pistol point In some
unknown recess of the house dawned
on the three and they started back In
side, Chuven was the first to enter
the kitchen, into which the door to the
attic opened. His progress was barred
by Mrs Thompson, who, armed with a
heavy iron bar. began to beat him
about the held. Then BoggiO entered
the kitchen. AT the top of the small
stairs Thompson, gun in hand,
crouched waiting for the door to open
as his signal to open fire.
Boggio opened the door and stepped
inside. As.lle put his foot on the first
step he was met by volley of shots.
Sergeant Barry, leaving Chuven to at
tend to Mrs. Thompson and her son,
Albert Thompson, dashed through the
narrow door just in time to see Bogsio
fall.
Then Barry fired, and Schneider,
hearing the shots directed at BogsiO,
released himself. He could discern the

ccllent postmaster general, he was not
as effective at Washington as he was
as editor Of the Philadelphia Press.
There have been scores of editors in
Congress within the past fifty years
and many of them have done well, but
| never met one who did not say he
would rather be back in his old office.
Among the great editors who achieved
first rank in office were John Hay and
Whitelaw Reed, both of whom | knew
well, but in each instance there were
regrets; they sighed for the smell and
the smudge of printers ink. In this
respect my old and much-beloveu
friend Henry Waterson was the wisest
editor | knew. They elected him to
Congress when he wasn't looking, but
after one term he got out and all the
kings horses and all the kings men
could not pull him into office again.
And so for half century he had his
fun and his happiness as one of the ia
vored Americans who took part in
things and enjoyed the friendship of
everybody, those who agreed with him
and those who called him names.
In President Wilson's cabinet are
several editors. No special glory en-
compasses them, but they have kept
up with their work and they enjoy it,
but it is quite probable that they will
settle down in their old office chairs
with signs Of immense relief after the
new deal goes into effect next March. |
1t may be all right to call editors |
to the public service because the pub |
lie service needs aliveness, ability and |
efficiency, but it is not a good thing |
for the editors or their papers. The |

PHANAGE INCREASES

The population of the Christian
Home Orphanage, located at Council
Bluffs, Iowa, has steadily increased
since January LIST, in spite of the fact
that more children have been placed
for adoption in private families than
ever before in similar period of
time. This institution is known nation
ally, and for nearly forty years has
been haven for homeless and desti-
tute children and aged, dependent wo-
men. 1t has a daily average of $50
inmates to provide for. 1t is non-sec-
tartan, has no endowment, employs no
agents, but is supported entirely by
the voluntary contributions of chart
table people from all parts of the
country. The Orphanage is endeav-
oring to raise funds at Thanksgiving
to enable it to properly carry on its
humane efforts. A Thanksgiving do
nation from you to this worthy work
will help provide for some homeless,
motherless child. Address, The

THE FAITHFUL NILE

The Nile began to rise on time--the
great life-giving river of Egypt began
creeping up its low banks June 16, to
overflow the valley and thus to per-
petuate the fertility of the soil The
beginning of the rise varies but few
days. 1t occurs from June Is to June
II and continues on until toward the
last of September, when the waters
recede and the crops are cultivated and
harvested. The rice is sown in the wa
ter before it leaves the valley, but
many other crops cannot be planted
until the river returns to its banks.
II is not strange the natives used
to believe the source of the Nile was
in Paradise; it was a paradise to them.
Every year, without rains, the stream
began overlooking the valley at GER
tain date. 1t brought down fertility
as well as providing moisture for the
crops that were to follow. The natives
did not explore it's source. There it
was, stretched out before them, roll
ing peacefully whence they knew not.
AS far as they travelled, there was the
river, the same stream, coming from.
heaven, of course. How could such
blessings flow from any other source :?
They did not follow it to the noun
tains; they did not understand that
this annual inundation was due to the
melting SHOWS; they had never met
anyone who claimed to have visited
the region of its source.
The ancients watched for the rise
of the river even as do the moderns.
But they were more impatient than
the moderns. If the river did not be-
gin to rise on June Is they made sac
rifice. They took the most beautiful
maiden in the land, gowned her as if
for a wedding and drowned her in the
stream. 1t was always effective, for
within day or two the stream began
to rise--just as it does now without
drowning a maiden in its waters.-

next campaign will be fought between
the Republicans and Mr.. Christen-
sens own party. Doubtless he is sin
cere. Depressed Republicans were in
earnest when they saw no future for
their party after the Cleveland land
slide in 1892; but four years later the
landslide reversed itself and Mr.. Bry-
an was buried in the detritus. If the
complexion of Congress could be re-
garded as prophetic, each party has
in turn seemed not long for this world.
In 1890 the Democrats elected 235
Representatives and the Republicans
SO, the Farmers Alliance or Populists
8. Thus of membership of 1892 the
Republicans had few more than one
fourth. The Mckinley tariff bill did
it. Two years later the Cleveland
landslide happened; but two years af-
ter that, in 1894, Congress went Re-
publican with tremendous sweep,
241 to 104.
If ever party seemed to be in ex-
tremis, it was the Democratic party
when the Civil War ended in 1865,
Wilbur F. Story called it with savage
contempt lin 1922 "putrescent
corpse" Two years later that party
had majority in the House. Two
more years passed and Samuel j. Til
den polled 250,935 more votes than
Rutherford B. Hayes and lost the
presidency through the decision of the
electoral commission by one electoral
vote. During the intervening period
the Republican party has held power
twenty-eight years and Democratic
Presidents have occupied the White
House sixteen years.
The party of jefferson, Jackson,
Cleveland and Wilson has" had great
recuperative power, even when suf-
fering from violent conclusion ana
shock. The vital spark has been
quickly famed into flame by the vi.
cious legislation of Republican Con-
crosses, constituting a party victory as
a commission to disregard the inter.
ests Of the people in favor of select
few. The Democratic party is indie
structible because, whatever mistakes
it has made, it is a peoples party,
though the ultra-radicals and ire
sponsible fanatics will not accept it as
such. 1t may sometimes wander from
the foundation principles, but returns
to them. It's traditions go back more
than one hundred years. 1t has only
to be true to itself to be formidable
opposition party; and however it is
ierided by the Republican party when
flushed with power, it is always rein,
stated when that party goes wrong.

BOOST YOUR TOWN

Doubtless, everyone in this or any
town feels the necessity, at some time
or other, of boosting for his home
town. He may not do so always, but
yet, he knows that he should. Boost.
ing means supporting its institutions
Supporting does not necessarily meal
simply buying what each or any bus
mess concern may have to sell. For
instance, the newspaper; the fact that
you may eb a steady subscriber and
paying for it in advance is not the
sole duty Of the individual.
One way man or woman can give
the paper their support, is to hand in
any item Of news they may happel.
to know of. Even if it may appear as
an unimportant bit of gossip it is
sure to be of interest to some one
and these items of news about folks
and what they are doing help to make
up live local newspaper. If you
agree with the movements which the
newspaper is advocating for the bene-
fit of the community you. as a friend
of the paper, will do your utmost to
help the project along.
Even word of encouragement to
the editor will go a long way toward
the desired end In fact. the entire
town-the town in which you live
should have warm place in your
heart. You certainly want to see
your town thrive and prosper. Let us
all get together and boost for the
town and everything worth while.
