attain The achievements which 50 frequently teward the
efforts OF civilians. The graduate Of West Point i
naturally inclined to think that his military education
complete when he receives his commission. His pro.
motion is regarded as merely matter Of time, and
little dependent upon his demonstration Of exhaordn-
AIRY ability. In fact there has too frequently been an
indication that manifestation Of originality and ag
gessveess is likely to hamper rather than promote The
prospects Of advancement in the military service The
civilian, on the contrary is constantly in competition
with the keehest rivals and Is thereby forced to put
forth his greatest efforts, discover lie most effective
methods, and rely upon his own judgment with full
knowledge that he must take The consequences If fail
ure as he will also reap the rewards Of success.

Of President Harding and devote one month Of the
twelve 10 military training, they will be inspired dur
ing the other eleven months Of the year 10 direct
their thoughts occasionally to the solution Of many Of
the military problems which will confront The nation in
case Of another military emergency. While it may be
expected that suggestions Of civilian origin will be
frotsned upon by those who have given life time
to the military branch Of the Government, yet The
nature Of our Government is such that in he end
civilian judgment prevails and. in case Of war civilian
resources will be depended upon TO furnish the defehses
of The nation in military as well as in an industrial
way.
West Point and the Regular Army have their
places in our plan Of military preparedness. Ii is upon
the civilians. however, thai we must place our greatest
dependence and. therefore, it is timely suggestion
from the President that the civilian training camps be
very largely attended.

The house last night passed the Fordney tariff
bill by vote of 2S9 to 1877, and the measure will
now go to the senate where it probably will be SO
completely rewritten that only those who believe in
parliamentary fctions will be able to recognize 1t
as the same BILL That has been the history of all
tariff legislation in recent years. 1t certainly was
not the intention of the makers of the constitution
that this should occur and the responsibility for per.
hitting it to occur rests with the house. II that
body took the trouble to make good and fair tariff
act in the first place and then stood firmly by its
measure the manipulation of tariff measures IN the
senate would stop.

MINco STRIKE CAUSES

HERE was a time when coal operators Of one
producing district conspired with labor leaders
for the purpose Of making trouble for the operators Of
competing districts but in recent years ii has been borne
in upon operators as class that this is practice
which hurts the whole industry and benefits no one,
and it may be doubted that there is any real basis for
the charge that coal operators Of unionzed regions are
responsible for the trouble in Mngo county
or many years the sttategists at United Mine
Workers headquarters have been firm believers in
Marshal Joffre's nibble policy In pursuance Of this
campaign Of attrition they finally got down to Mingo
county where they encountered band Of operators
as determined as they themselves were. Neither side
was Oyerburdened by scuples and the country soon
was witnessing labor war which was quite lrflins
from the standpoint of numbers and capital involved,
but Of tremendous import in the eyes Of many earnest
people throughout the whole country because The
principles that were being fought for
Just how it is going to turn out is as yet profile
matea The investigation now being conducted by
a senate committee has not helped Both sides have
got lot Of utterly worthless matter into the record and
so far neither one seems to have brought forward
fact with which the newspaper reading public has not
long been familiar.
