Ii would seem that the influence of
the large city dailies would be much
greater than that of the small town
weekly but the recent election Of
Mayer Hylan in New York seems to
prove differently. Out Of seventeen
New York daiIies possessing wide
general circulation, fourteen were
lined up definitely against Hylsn, yet
be vas elected. Mr.. Hearst's two
newspapers came out strong from the
first for the Tsmm8ny candidate aud
as q result Mr. Hearst is patting him.
self on the back. He says Hylan was
elected because his papers are the
only papers the people can believe,
which of course. is so far from the
truth as to make Mr. Hearst appear
very much of joke.
Probably the truth of the matter is
that the people feel that the large
dallies are bought up By the big inter
ests who dictate their political policies
w bbNhs consequently AuOJ 0o ASt
trust the views set forth in their col
umns. But there is also another pIo-
liability which may be nearer the
truth. The tammany machine is
hard one to beat and added to it was
Mr.. Hylan's political cunning and
trickery Since the vast majority Of
New York voters ride on the subway
he made big point of the fact that
the subway fare would remain at i've
cents throughout his term of Office. A
working mans pocket book Is his
most vulnerable spot and Mr.. Hylan
took advantage of the faes.
But whatever the truth of the matter
may be. Mr.. Hylan was elected by an
overwhelming majority and the in
fluenee of the city dailies was not
felt. People in the city may belittIe
the influence Of the small town paper
but they certainly make themselves
beard at election time

COAL FoR 1000 YEARS.

The United States geological survey
is authority for the estimate that our
original coal reserves contained over
3,076 billion short tons (2,0O0 pounds)
Of coal, about one-third Of which
Is Of doubtful value, due either to
the character of the seams or to
their great depth from the surface.
To the end Of the current year it is
estiiuate0 that the gross extraction
has been a trifie less than 1900, 10000
tons. The United States is now pro-
ducing coal at the rate Of half a
million tons per annum, having
crossed that figure In 1910; although
the output for the year following
failed TO reach this record by some
100000 tons, the return for 1912
showed that We have passed 1t so
completely that nothing but seyerest
depression viii ever cause the pro-
duction to fall below IL again. The
most significant, In fact. almost alarm
ing, feature about our production sta
tistics is the enormous rapidity at
which the output Is increasing, says
the Engineering Magazine. Based
on the production OF half a century
ago, the coal tonnage has doubled each
decade, up to and including 1910.

Each year the horrors of Christmas

able for the people We intend them
for. Our one purpose is to get through
with an unpleasant duty and unfort-

duty because we have left it until the

OUT 0F WORK COSTS
 $5oo,OO0,00O YEAR
American Engineering Council
 Gives Building Data

New York, July 22.-Half a billion dollars a year in wages is being lost in the building industry through ur- employment, declared a report made public today by the committee on elimination of waste in industry of the American Engineering Council.
 The committee, appointed by Her bert Hoover when he was president of the council, asserted lack of work was the outstanding fact in this i'll dustry, whose critical condition is at tr:buted primarily to high costs ct construction.
 Tn report said that waste was caus- ing huge losses in building which, iI.- c!uding all trades and common labor, ranked second among industries and contributed more than three billion dollars yearly to the wealth of the nation.
 The chief sources of waste in the industry were, according to the re- port, irregular employment; ineffic- lent management, and wasteful labo' regulations Customs or conditions prevailing throughout the industry
