PRIVATE, BUT EFFECTIVE.

In a recent dispatch from London giving an
account of the progress of the Irish negotiations,
the statement is made that in addition to the tors
NAL sessions Of the c%onferees thereikave been iii
innate explorations of the situation at private meet
ings at which representatives of each side, accom-
panied by mutual friends, have talked freely in con-
versations which are understood to have bound
none Of the participants to any definite line of ac-
3tion.
OF course this is all very improper, from the
standpoint Of those who insist on full and %urinter-
rupted publicity for everything. 1t should be i'm
possible for the delegates to meet except in stated
and formal sessions, and at those sessions the whole
world, or at least that part Of it which could crowd
itself into the conference quarters, should be tree
to attend.
I They tell Of a man from a sophisticated me-
tropolis who had occasion to visit a primitive dis
trict in the southwest. The building which did
duty for a hotel was a one-story shack, and from
his room the traveller could look through an incur
tanned window-open, because of the heat-on all
outdoors. Wishing to change some of his more
intimate garments he hung over the window a linen
buster to serve as a screen. Presently the buster
dropped. 1t was replaced. 1t dropped again: A
third time it was hung, and again it came down.
This time a hairy face presented itself at the aper-
ture with the remark, "1'd like to knoW what's goin
on in here that's SO damned private"
Privacy, to some minds, is evidence of evil
And yet it is only in private meetings that there are
possible those intimate explorations" which are SC
often necessary to the making of wise and just de-
tisions,

and who were in sympathy with his business ideals.
The Ontario Store has had an honorable his
tory. Established almost at the beginning OF the
growth of the city and state, it has shared, in the
varied fortunes of the community, and there must
have been many times in its early years when ad-
verse conditions taxed the resourcefulness of it's
proprietor. 1t is to the credit of the institution
that not only has it weathered all the storms to
which it has been subjected, but has, by its solidity
and staunchness, helped to preserve others from
'shipwreck. : -
The great establishment which has grown from
the small beginnings Of forty years ago is q credit
to its founder, a service to the great community
through which it's influence extends, and something
of which all its neighbors have a right to feel proud,

FEDERAL HIGHWAY LEGISLATION.

The federal highway bill, which it is expected
will provide work for from 100000 to BOO, 1000 men,
agreed upon by the conferees. carries a $751; 900, 900
appropriation, Of which $25,O00,000 is to be avail
in road construction when the bill becomes law and
$50, 600, 900 six months later. In addition, $5,00O,-
600 is to be Immediately available for National For
est roads and $40, 0o0, 900 more on July ], 1922.
The federal aid appropriation will be distribut-
ed and administered under the supervision OF the
Bureau Of Public Roads, United States Department
of Agriculture. In continuing the operation of the
plan the government is taking a step that should
have far-reaching effect in relieving the present I'M
employment situation and in some states it will
make possible the continued employment Of men
who otherwise would be thrown out of work and
thus swell the ranks of the idle.
The federal money is to be matched by funds
Under the direct control of the state highway de-
partment.- When so matched-and in many cases
the states have taken action and are simply await
ing the availability of the government appropria-
tion-it is estimated that it will make possible road
work which will give employment to from 100000
period required to spend the money. This esti-
mate Of employment includes men employed on
actual construction and in addition men employed
in producing and hauling materials.
To get the benefit of federal road building
funds each state must appropriate at least as much
money as is allotted to it by the federal government,
with the exception Of a few states having unoccu-
pied public land to- the extent of more than 5 per
cent Of the states area. In these cases the states
share is reduced. The states share must be under
the direct and sole control of the state government
No money controlled in any way by county or local
officials can be usedFto match federal funds. Pro
vision also must be made for the maintenance Oh
all roads built in participation with federal aid, by
the state government.

THE cHEcK-oFF SYSTEM.

1t will be interesting to learn on just what
grounds Judge Anderson has issued his injunction
against the operation of what is known as the
check-of system in the coal mining regions. This
system is employed through the cooperation of
mine operators and unions. Under the arrange
1nent the operators. withhold from each union miner
at stated periods enough of his wages to pay his
dues in the local union of which he is a member.
This method of collecting dues has been in vogue
or years. At times operators have objected to it,
: ut usually they have acquiesced. The union heads
avc always insisted strongly oni as it is not only
nvenient for them, but it tends to strengthen the
il IONS by keeping the members in good standing
the matter Of dues. whereas without it delin-
ncies would be numerous and many Of the MEM
would slip away.
1t is easy to understand why the union heads
ould favor the plan. and why operators not par
,,larly enthusiastic over ul1ionis1n in any case
could prefer to let the unions do their own collect
,r. But in the absence of further information it
5 not quite clear what interest the general public,
as represented by its courts, has in the subject. On
the face Of it the case appears to be one concerning
which an agreement either one way or the other
would be perfectly legal and proper.
In the absence of information as to the grounds
in which the judicial decision is made, a rather
plausible explanation appears to be that the check
off plan is held to be SO operated as to amount to
the coercion of workrnen to belong to unions which
they would not otherwise join. But, inasmuch as
Judge Anderson is living and vocal, it may be as
we'll to let him speak for himself.

Just why we watch him out there
at play.
Some day they'll know why we

When they wish to wander where
danger lies, , &.E
And bring the tears to their youth

Some day they'll learn what we
dreaded so, g;va,srIy
What only the parents Of children,

They wonder now why it is we stayf
Forever watching them, day and

PRICES OF COTTON
GAIN DURING WEEK
Improvement in Dry Goods Sit
uatiOn Regarded as Con-
structiVe Move

New Cleans, Jan. lit was a
week OF advancing prices In the cot
ton market, mainly because Of the
strength OF the January position and
the marked Improvement in the mar
het for finished goods. Highest prices
came ut the middle of hte week. when
the trading months were ll3 to i51
points over the last prices OF the
preceding week with January up to
1875 AMI March up to 16. Last prices
for the week showed net gains on con
| tracts OF % to lot points, with Janu-
ary at 1892 and March at 1851. In
the SCOT department prices gained 100
points on middling In the net results,
the last quotation boing Is.
i The spectacular feature Of the week
was tie movement of cotton from the
South to New York to be entered on
January contracts there.
The Improvement in the dry goods
situation was generally regarded an
the most constructive development of
the week. Many southern mills were
reported to have started upon Mon
day Oh full time schedules, New Eng
land cloth markets reported the iarg-
est sale in Wholesale markets of the
country.
This weok the January deal will be
watched with increasing interest, for
as the expiration for the present spot
position draws near more or less ex-
citemcnt is anticipated.
