GREAT BRITAIN AND THE RED

future has in store for Great Britain
in that store house of humanity. And
there is large class in Germany that
sympathizes with the Russian Reds,
and should that class be able to over
throw the present German government
and join forces with the present gov
eminent of Russia, they might set the
world on fire again.
A few weeks ago organized labor
in Great Britain had the Lloyd George
government by the throat, and the
prospects for its overthrow seemed
imminent. The success, however, Of
the Russian armies has wrought great
changes in the United Kingdom. Just

that he may again be able to protect
that country from the dangers which

THE ARROGANCE OF THE COAL
OPERATORS,

The old game Of the trusts, to lin.
it production and make their product
dear by making it scarce, is being
practiced at the present time by the
coal operators. The railroads and eY-
cry industry in the country and practi-
cally every home is menaced by the
scarcity of coal.
The following from the St. Louis
Post Dispatch outlines some of the
practices of the Mandarins:
The department of the anthracite
coal operators before the commission
detailed to examine into that indus
try will necessary prejudice public
opinion adversely, if it does not evoke
a verdict of guilty without further
trial. The operators object to the pre-
sentation OF figures as to production
and profits prepared by Jet Lauck,
statistican for the United Mine Work
ers. They object also to open ses-
sions. They apparently want the pro-
ceedlngs to be secret, with all objec-
tionable testimony excluded.
Such demands are extraordinary.
The threat of the mine workers to
withdraw from the inquiry, unless the
operators consent to an honest inves-
tigation, and appeal to President Will
son personally, is justficable position
under the circumstances. Meantime
the public will be curious to know why
the operators presumed to take such |
an unreasonable, untenable attitude.
Perhaps an answer will be found in |
the Lauck figures. According to those
figures, the principal anthracite coal |
operators increased their earnings in
l916-191S some 80 per cent over the
three-year period preceding the war.
while production was increased only
IL per cent. 1t should be explained,
though, that Mr.. Lauck does not vouch
for the accuracy of those calculations.
But the arrogance of the anthracite
operators in imagining themselves the
Mandarins of industry, exempt from
the processes of inquiry to which
others are subject, will amaze a great
many people; it will not astonish that
part of the public, however, that re-
members the experience of the COM
mission President Roosevelt appoint
ed to arbitrate an anthracite coal
strike. Divine Rights Baer has long
since been gathered to his fathers, but
lis soul is marching on through baron
al successors.

DEMOCRATS MEET AT CEDAR RAP.

didate for Governor, brought the more
than a thousand delegates cheering to

success at the polls this fall was ap-
parent on every hand and the enthus
iastic demonstration which followed
the mention of President Wilson's
name removed all doubt as to where
his party in Iowa stands with respect
to his pledge that this country should
be member of the League OF Nations.
The most powerful apd striking fea-
ture of the convention was the master
full address of the permanent chairman
M. Healey, of Fl. Dodge. The party

paign with strong state ticket, an ex-

THE INCREASE IN RAILROAD
RATES

Last Saturday the Interstate Com
merce Commission granted increases
in railroad>rat amounting to 40 per
cent on freight in the eastern group of
carriers, IS per cent in the western
group and rs per cent in the southern
and mountain-Pacific groups. A 20
per cent increase in passenger fares
has also been granted, and so per cent
will be added to the present price of
parlor and sleeping car tickets.
These increases are no more than
justice to the railroads. For many
years this paper has contended that
the quantity theory of money should
and usually does govern prices. That
prices should increase and decrease
as the volume of money in the country
expands and contracts. 81.
When the great world war COM
menced the circulating medium in
this country was about $50 per capita.
and by that measure prices were fixed
at that time. But the necessities Of
the war increased the money in cir
culation until it is now lowering
around $50 per capita, and subject to a
few exceptions, prices should be
double what they were five years
ago; and, in most instances, they have
doubled, and in several instances
prices have more than doubled since
the war commenced.
The railroads have nothing to sell
except service, and when that service
costs them more than twice what it
formerly did they should be permitted
to increase their prices.
This present increase, of approx
mately IS per cent, does not permit
the railroads to anything like double
their former rates and fares.
This is only the second increase al
lowed the railroads since the war com.
menced. The first increase was ap-
proximately 25 per cent, and the pres
ent increase of 35 per cent is based up
on the pre-war rates and fares in :
creased by the rs per cent increase.
The present 35 per cent increase, how
ever, is a fraction less than A per
cent increase on the rates and fares Of
five years ago. Owing to the fact
that rates and fares are not uniform, it
is not possible TO briefly state to d
certainty the exact percentage of in
crease in rates and fares since the
commencement of the war but it is
quite safe to say that the increase will |
not exceed so per cent during period
when the prices of nearly everything
else have increased 100 per cent or
more.

TO DIVORCE CHAPLIN
Wife of Movie Comedian Charges
Cruelty in Bill for Divorce.
Says She Waited Many Months in
Hope That Her Husband Would
Return to Her.

Los Angeles, CAL, Aug. 4.-Mildred
Harris Chaplin has filed suit here for
divorce from Charlie Chaplin. She al
leges cruelty. Mrs. Chaplin was mar
ried to the motion picture comedian
Oct. %, 1918, but the marriage was
kept secret four months, she asserts
in her complaint, on the plea that
an announcement Of the marriage
would interfere with his professional
career.
Mrs. Chaplin asks that, pending ad-
judication Of the suit, her share of
the community property be awarded
to her and that Chaplin be restrained
from disposing Of pictures he Is max
ing said to be worth $750,0OO. Su-
perior Judge Jackson issued an order
restraining temporarily disposal Of the
pictures and making the order return
able next Monday.
The public was informed of the
Chaplin matrimonial troubles last
spring, when Mrs. Chaplin in March
made statement that unless her hus-
band returned to her from his "eXile"
she would sue for divorce, at the same
time saying that during their year of
married life together she had suffered
from cruelty and neglect on the part
Of her millionaire comedian husband.
A little later, according to story
told at Los Angeles, Chaplin ran across
Louis B. Mayer Mrs. Chaplin's man.
ager, in hotel. Mr.. Chaplin asked
Mayer to take off his glasses and,
that being done, he is said to have
struck out with his fists, following
which Mayer, It is reported, knocked
Mr.. Chaplin into the potted palms
near by. AT the hour of this encoun-
ter Mrs. Chaplin was fox trotting with
the prince Of Wales at Coronado.

May Day In Scotland.

In Scotland May day was long
known as Beltane. "Beltane" is a
corruption Of Baal Time, and the an.
Client May day ceremonies which were
observed in Scotland until not so
many years ago were survivals of
the old Baal or fire worship, which in
former days held sway over the
greater part of the Eastern hemi.
sphere. The ancient ceremonies in.
volved the burning of bonfires, the
drawing of lots for sacrifice and even
mock simulacrum of the sacrifice
itself.
