THE WHY OF A COAL SHORTAGE.

A Chicago wholesale coal dealer this
week quoted price Of s275 ton at
the mine in western Pennsylvania for
a certain grade Of coal When he
learned that the prospective pur-
chaser was not a retailer he withdrew
the quotation. A local retailer was
asked for a price lie said 5000 a
ton delivered. The freight rate on
the coal from the mine to Chicago Is
33.43 a ton. That would make ,he
price to the retailer here S6.ls. He
asked 1920. That would give him
s4.02 for overhead. local delivery and
profit on an item costing S2.75.
Write your own explanation Of why
the lack of demand has reduced the
years output of coal. and the supply
in storage in Chicago. so that the coal

coal shortage in this city this winter.

THE CHURCH AND WAR.

The Worlds Methodist Conference
in session at London went on record
In favor OF the absolute abolition of
armaments and of wan. Such Is the
power Of the various Methodist bodies
that they could do much to turn their
desires into realities But ones ex-
pectation OF so glorious result is not
strengthened by reading that Bishop
Cannon of America declared that "if
another war should come demanding
th@t sons come from prohibition homes
81 America to fight in England. France,
or other countries. one OF the most
important factors would be whether
the American and English or French
governments would cooperate TO offer
the same protection TO the American
youth from drink as he receives under
the American flag"
What can we hope from Bishops
more deslrioNs and expectant OF saw
ing the youth OF America from French
wine than from new war! But far
more enlightening as 20 the present
impotence Of the great churches was
the action of the Colorado Methodist
Conference in voting down, 5s to 4G.
a resolution asking amnesty for
American wartime political prisoners
: ,ording TO the story OF the debate
in the Rocky Mountain News, the pre-
vailing arguments rested on the usual
conceptions of the requirements OF
patriotism and regard for the righ-
| teorsness OF the American judiciary. A
church which on such utterly secular
grounds can vote to keep that great
apostle of peace, Gene Debs, in Jail Is
equally unfit to serve the cause OF
world peace or TO interpret the spirit
