EMERGENcY CoNTRoL.

Experience has taught the country that, one of the desirable things is to get less government in business rather than more, but there cannot fail to be aroused . keen interest in the proposed control of the coal industry as set forth in the bill presented by Senator Calder te the upper house of congress. Hearings that have been held have revealed conditions in the coal industry which are most un- just to say the least. While they appear to have been much worse during the past year or 50 there have been other times when it has been felt that injustice was being heaped upon the consumer and in- asmuch as there is no disposition among those responsible to end such conditions and to check the profiteering it is be- !iered that it is time to provide iegisla-
 ion that would give the authority to the president to take a hand in the regula- tion of such business whenever it Is be- lieyed conditions require it.
 The idea is. to do with coal industry much the same as is done with public utilities, to see that it is regulated with the view. to giving the public square deal. Coal is extensively used. It is necessary for utilities. factories, institu- tions and homes and <inasmuch as there | are those coal operators who are dis
 posed to gouge the consumer good rathel
 than harm is going to be done by legis' l lation that will bring them under con trol.
 To those who are doing a legitimate
 business the proposed legislation meet and will have no terrors. It provides 1 that the president can assume contro of the industry when an emergency l threatens and it will rest with the coa operators to see that that doesn't oc
 cur by their acts.

CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA.

In view of the conditions that have prevailed there and the position 1t holds among others in regard to lynching much less surprise will be manifested at the scathing comment that is made by Unit ed States District Attorney Alexander in protest against the wrongs that are com mitted in the state of Georgia against the Negroes. Georgia has continued to show a disposition to tolerate high de- gree of lawlessness in this direction and to make no effective effort to stop it or to punish those responsible. For that reason there would appear to be excellent ground for the investigation of the con- ditions which exist there as the federal attorney indicates will be started.
 In the Charges made by this official particular stress Is laid upon the part which the authorities play, or fail to play. for he says comparatively little effort is being made by the proper of- ficers to end these conditions"
 We'll does he say that while s9 per cent of the people would deplore the con. ditions that are going on something more Is demanded from a civilized people and their government than sentiment. Geor gia as a matter of fact has been black ening its reputation for years under tn, claim that the better element of the peo pie did not approve what was going on yet that is about all 1t amounted to fo

WATERED MILK.

Watsred milk is one of those things which the Householder may suspect more often than he gets. It is one of those meth ods of increasing production which the consumer has right to feel that he should be in sole charge of. It is in fact a matter which should rest entirely with him. He expects when he buys it to get it as it comes from the COW and without adulteration. If he wants to reduce it that is his privilege but if he doesn't want 1t vatered he has good reason for kicking when such milk is handed out to him as the real thing and the price of the pure article collected. The fact is that if he wants something other than water.
 When the dairy and pure food com missioner brings to light the fact that enc milk producer has been found who was peddiIng milk which showed by test tS be made up of 75 per cent. water, and gives notice to the effect that he will be sTossSated 1t will be difficult to see how any other course could reasonable be yursued.
 Perhaps it will be no revelation to the customers of this producer to have this fact established. Perhaps it is only just to the dealer to state that it is the claim of his son that the can of milk, when it was milk, was tipped over and in order that the the loss might not be disclosed it was filled up with water. That may have been the case but it doesn't reveal how often the can was tipped over or whether the milk that was tipped out was. actually lost. and it doesn't appear that there was any bargain rate for the milk that day. The fact is that the GUS. essneFs ought to be able to tell what kind of milk they had been getting and about how often the watering was in. dulGed in.
 Producing milk by the watering process b of course an outright injustice to tn. consumer just as much, as it would be il the groceryman should sand his suga, sS any other dealer misrepresent hi ssods. It is not often that such flagran violations of the state law are discoveret but the commissioner is only doing hi dnty when he runs down such cases an, lets 1t be understood that such practice eAiy invite the penalty under the law

be placed where 1t could be used when 1t would be the most needed.
 It is well understood hew many who received some of the highest wages dur ing the war period felt 1t necessary to spend as fast as they received with the result that when slack times came they had nothing to fall back upon. They got big wages and while the benefit might have been made to cover long period it was only temporary. Many have come to realize this only after it was too late for them to help themselves.
 How many of the carmen will see the wisdom in the advice given them is un- certain but it is impossible to overlook the fact that it is sound and sensible.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
THE sELF-MADE LORD TIMoTHI
DEXTER.


 DEXTER.
 Americans are fond of talking about self-made men, usually applying the term to such as have obtained education and taken high position without the up- lifting power of money and influence. But we have an example in, the far-famed Timothy Dexter, of a native American. who made himself lord simply by as- sumnK the high-sounding title, and strange as 1t may seem to us of this generation. he was called "Lord Timo- thy Dexter" by his contemporaries of all classes henceforward to the end of his extraordinary and ingloriods career in 1Soe.
 Dexter was one of the most eccentric characters this country lever produced. He was born in Maiden, Mass, and learned the trade of leather dressing, and not only made much money in this --ay. but by the purchase of the depreciated ontincntal money, which was greatly tn- creased in value after Hamilton's funding system went into operation. When Dexter became wealthy he as- sumed the title of Lord" but failing to obtain social recognition in Doston or Salem, he removed to Newburyport where he purchased two large mansions one of which he sold at 2 profit, and the other he fitted up as his palace h a bizarre style, prompted by his cal'rieIeui taste.
 Dexter raised minare.s on the roof o' his mansion, surrounded with a profus 1 ion of gilt balls. and iE his garden erect ed rows of columns. fifteen feet high, CT which he placed colossal images of Jef ferson, Adams, and others carved fl wood. Washington occupying ;he plac of honor on a Roman arch tha. stoO' in front of the door.
 One peculiarity of his whim was tha ] he continually changed the names cf hi I great men, and the Gen. Horgan fl yes terday might become the Napoleon of to day, or the Nelson of tomorrow. Dexte placed himself among the Srra.- whor he delighted to honor, and labelled hi column T am the greatest man Ia :h east"
 Ranking himself with the nobility Dexter imported elegant articles fruf France with which to furnish his houes and hung the walls with paintings ot tained in Europe He purchased gran coach with a coat of arms painted upo 1t and a span of beautiful cream-co , ored horses.
 Dexter had tomb constructed in th garden of-his residence at Newburypor and caused a coffin to be made of ma hogany. with silver handles, expensfvel lined, and this he kept in his house an often displayed to his guests Having heard that the kings of EnI land had a poet laureate to sing the praises Dexter secured one for hlmse . with the unpoetic name of Jonaths

by Lucky Baldwin,

Manager Ryan has practically COM
pleted the layout Of his baseball club
and has seven local boys as perma-
nent fixtures. He promises to give
Pensacola the fastest baseball team it
has ever had and believes it will be
able to meet and beat all comeps. He
will have a chance to stack his men
UP against some of the best when he
meets Atlanta of the Southern league
Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this
week.
Seven local men are sure Of posi-
tions on the club. These include three
infielders, a pitcher, two outfielders
and a utility man. The pitcher is
Sneed. The two outfielders are Harry
Scarritt and Sticks Vi1lar. Sticks suf-
fered an injury to one of his ankles
last week and was kept out OF the
Louisville series but he will be in the
game this weekend.
Bobby Ellis and Ham Gaines are
sure of their Jobs at third and first,
while second will be covered either by
