Federal Coal Control
Is Out of Question

So far as the extra session of
Congress is concerned. legislation
designed to restore government
regulation of the coal industry ap-
pears to be out of the question.
All interests concerned in this
vital problem admit that 1t will
be impossible to put through the
pending bills on this subject now,
but assurances are given that the
fight will continue to have the FIRE.
linghuysen measures resurrected in
December. when fuel conditions are
less favorable than at present and
will be pressed to a vote at that
time.
Backers of Federal control con-
fess their defeat in the first clash
with the coal industry. More than
a week ago the Senate by a de-
cisive vote moved to recommit the
seasonal coal rate bill to the COM
mittee on interstate commerce. This
had the effect of burying that
measure, temporarily, at least.

LONDON HAS GROWN TOO BIG
Metropolis of the British Empire ls
Loosely Knit Together, and
Confusion Results.

Poor old London is so big that she
doesn't know what to Go. She has
outgrown her administrative clothes
and finds that her outskirts are sore
ly bedraggled She hopes that par
lament Will come to her relief, but
she has waited so long without any
thing being done for her and mean
while has grown so outrageously that
parliament is a bit dubious about UNI
dertaking the JOB.
London, you understand, is merely
a name, and it may mean one of seT-
eral things. No railway company
sells tickets to London; they are care
full TO specify the exact station in that
vast conglomeration indefinitely spo,l-
Il en- Of ljy that name.
There is first of all the City ofNLOn-
ddhl1the orr ginal London, built around
the Tower and walled in for defense,
a square mile of twisting streets and
alleys, where business houses are built
ON old churchyards and the ancient
church tower rises Behind a fve-stOry
stone Office building. Then there is
the London Of the 2S boroughs, the
County of London, which includes the
towns that grew up outside the an
cient city. There are also almost in
numefable suburbs.-W. X. Kelsey in

MARAT HONORED AS PATRIOT
sIoodthirsty Leader of French Revolu-
ton Inferred With the Great
Ones of the Nation.

From the destruction of the bastile,
1872 years ago. July II, the commence
ment of the French Revolution is dated,
and its sanguinary fanaticism has no
representative of such odious repul-
siveness as John Paul Marat, who was
assassinated In 1893. BY birth Swiss
of Calvinistic parents, he had led a
strange life for 10 years-latterly' a
sort of Quack physician-when the
great national crisis brought him TO
the surface as a journalist and mem
Der of the convention. Less than five
feet high, with frightful countenance
and maniacal eye, he was an object Of
aversion to most people: but he had
frantic earnestness and hesitated at
no violence against the enemies of lib
erty, and so came to possess the en-
tire confidence and affection of the mob
of Paris. His paper daily clamored for
blood and he desired every we'll
dressed person to be put TO death. 1t
was on July II, four years after the
fall of the bastile, that Charlotte Cor
day stabbed him TO death in his
bath to avenge the fate of her friend,
one Barbaroux. Aarafs death was
treated AS q public calamity and his
bssiy was deposited in the Pantheon
with great honors.-6ihicago Journal.

French Courtesy.

In one of the smaller cities in central
France used by division headquar-
tiers during the winter of 1888, Al
phonse, the barber, endeavored TO learn
to speak English. To this end he was
diligently coached by numerous Iank
dispatch bearers, sergeant majors and
clerical workers, and Alphonse learned
fast.
No less a parsonage than the COM
handing general of the division strobe
into the barber shop one day and de
manded shave in a hurry. Alphonse,
who was tending a lowly enlisted Gus
toner, knew rank when he saw il, and
rose TO the occasion.

piled, bowling with the French polite

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER -, 1921.
THE WASHINGTON CONFERENCE


Nation was bowed in grief at the
unknown soldiers bier in COM
memoration OF the sacrifices made
by him and those he represented,
towards the preservation OF the
ideal of world peace. Today,
turning from the grave symbohcal
of these sacrifices, the leading
powers Of the earth, through their
representatives, assembled at a
conference to accomplish peace
by the arts Of diplomacy and by
the limitation of ornaments. The
occasion is fraught with a world
wide significance hardly less I'M
pressive than were the ceremonies
of Armistice Day
Even as the Nation entered the
war for an ideal,-the ideal OF
peace.-so il emerged from the
war with a determination that the
ideal shall not die. The successes
on land and sea were only part
OF the victory; the other part Is
not won vet. As President Hard
inp said in his eloquent address
Yesterday, there must be, and
shall bemthe commanding voice
OF a conscious civilization against
armed warfare" and that the sac
ri6ce of the unknown hero. buried
Yesterday at Arlington, and OF the
millions of the dead represented
by him, shall not be in vain.
Every rightful impulse OF the
human heart is in accord with this
purpose. From time immemorlal
men have dreamed of peace (;
lsoets have sung of it; men every
where have hoped and prayed that
the day might come when wars
would no longer be necessary IN
the settlement of international
differences. Now comes tlre' time
IN the turbulent annals OF the hui
man race when such project
seems feasible. The destruction
of militarism, the crumbling OF
thrones. the dissolution of dynas-
ties. the worldwide appreciation
of the inner meaning OF war and
the final triumph of democracy,
have at last made it possible to
realize the dearest dream that has
crossed the mind of man.
Yesterday was the most glor-
ious day for the Nation since the
signing of the Armistice. 1t gave
expression to the MODEST and
purest sentiments to which hui
man nature is heir, and showed
that the heart of America IS
stirred again as in the days when
the crusade against militarism
and autocracy began. The ancient
faith of the nation is revived and
the fires of patriotism arc re-
kindled. The services of the past.
the sacrifices of war. the hopes OF
the future. constitute spiritual
force that is irresistible. The
prayer of humanity is that the
underlying purpose OF the confer
ence now under way in Washing
ton will meet with Divine sane
ton and guidance that will carry
it to fulhllment.
