SENATOR LODGES TOGA.

II Massachusetts wishes to make the
Indiana and Pennsylvania primaries
look like the dreariest routine, all she
has TO do is to carry into effect the
story that ex-Gov. Mccall is going
to run as an independent candidate
against Senator Lodge. Mccall against
Lodge in the primaries would be in
teresting. but Mccall against Lodge
at the election would be a sensation
of the first water. Not that the re-
suit would be doubtful. The outcome
of such q split would be the unpre-
cedented spectacle of two Democratic
Senators from Massachusetts at the
same time. For at least two years be-
tween March 4, 1928, and March A,
1925, when Senator Walshs term eX-
pires, a State that has not cast a
single electoral vote for Democrat,
with the exception of 1912, when the
Republicans were divided, would be
without a Republican Senator. Capitol
guides would have a startling item
to add to their recital and Demo-
cratic orators would end every speech
with Webster's thrilling exclamation
"There stands Massachusetts,

assistant Secretary OF War IN Presi-

AT THE STATION.
Copyright. 1922. by Edgar A. Guest)

Down at the station they used to walt.
Mother and father and cousin Jane,
Searching the track for the coming
train.
Grandpa and Grandma and all the
pack,
to welcome a wanderer back.
Then never one OF US went away
In the summer time. for a few weeks
stay.
But what he was sure OF a rousing din
And a greeting warm when the train
pulled in;
Oldest to youngest would be in wait
To welcome him at the station gate.
I've stood in the line myself and know
The splendid thrill of that fine hello
And the laughter glad and the rush &c
be
The first of that anxious flock TO see
The wanderer quitting the railroad
train.
Safe and sound in the town again.
I've been the traveller. too. and
Have seen the light in the mothers
eye.
And the fathers smile and the broth
ers grin
And his rush to carry my suit case in
And l know the depth OF the Joy i
means
To play part in those station scenes
Now the line has thinned and there
few TO wait
To watch for me at the railroad gate.
But 1 know some day In the distan
years
When my soul in the other realm ap
pears,
The oldest TO youngest once more T.
Eagerly waiting 10 welcome me.

BAR TO PROFITERRING.

Following the agreement reached
last week with 90 soft coal operators.
Tor an organized effort to prevent
profiteering while tho present strike
is on. the Secretary of Commerce has
now called general conference to
bring all the other operators. whose
mines are producing. numbering some
500 inHo line. Since the so produce
the bulk of the coal now coming from
non-union and open shop mines, their
influence should count materially in
furthering the plan to sell direct 70
consumers at reasonable rates through
clearing houses in the active coal dis
tricts.
The purpose Is "to penetrate the
entire body of operators with the plan
|ngreed upon" Secretary Hoover fou.d
the 90 cold toward It when he first
urged It's undertaking. He did not
mince words. 1.-The coal industry will
either govern itself or the government
will govern It," he said The operators
could not misinterpret that. And they
were more inclined TO listen when Mr.
Hoover explained that he was trying
to see what we can do by purely vol
dGllbDs III lilt bpStilCe VI any
legal authority whatsoever" Such
action calls for more moral courage
on the part of the operators than has
been evident since profiteering became
popular and for a crusading spirit
that will make converts in large num-
bers throughout the coal fields.
The success of the plan depends
upon the amount of cooperation re
ceived. Public support will be instant
because the public is sick and tired of
being gouged for its coal. II knows
that there Is no excuse for any rise in
prices at this time, because a large
surplus of mined coal still exists and
the non-union miners are producing
Iup to nearly half of the normal out
lput of the bituminous regions. II has
mot forgotten how the profiteers ran
wild in 1920; and before IL submit

TOOK A Rad TIME.

There has been n vast amount of
loose and promiscuous talk about the
extent TO which the government was
mulctcd during the war by unscrupu-
lous contractors, but not until two
fighting World War veterans now
serving In tho House began to badger
tho Attorney-G General with n number
OF unpleasant facts they had uneerthed
did the issue begin TO assume tsngI-
BILE form. When Mr.. Daugherty dis
charged two special investigators of
the Department OF Justice because OF
'disloyalty" In conveying information
to these Congressman the public began
to be Interested. When It was further
alleged that the Attorney-Gencral

of these Investigators to enter the en-
ploy OF one OF the concerns involved
