plcyed that work for them cannot b. found
for more than an average Of 24 days
year, leaving them with ninety idle work
ing days. 1t finds, too, that the mines are
operated in such a way that there 10 over
production in certain seasons, nccessitating
reduction in output in other seasons, with
consequent idleness Of the men.
There seems to be no serious attempt to
consider the needs Of the miners. When
they asked for five.day week 1t meant that
they preferred to work five days for every
week in the year rather than to work six
days for part Of the time and be idle during
the rest Of the year.
The soft coal mines have apparently been
overdevcloped. They can supply at least
200 200, 900 tons more than the country de-
mands. Until the demand equals the sup
ply there is bound to be trouble unless the
operators change their policy. II the mines
should be run at such rate as to produce
about what the country needs and should be
kept In operation continuously for twelve
months every year the surplus help put on
when the mines are running at their full
capacity would gradually seek other EN-.
ployment and conditions would be,improved.
1t is easier to say what should be done
than find way to induce the operators to
do it. Mr.. Hoover is using such influence
as he can exert. The Russell Sage Founda.
tion report will educate public sentiment.

EQUAL RIGHTS IN CHURCH?

TNHUS far there has not been even among
i the jealous feminists Of the National
Woman's Party any suggestion Of desire
for equal rights in church-which means, of
course, equal rights in the ministry. In
politics and business and the social scheme
Miss Paul and her associates want "abso-
Lutte equality of opportunity" Programs
Of policy issued by the Woman's Party
would indicate that the leaders are willing
to leave the ministry to men.
What would the Church be like il women
should have equal rights in the pulpits?
Would it undergo any change? Would it
be sterner or more tolerant, more spiritual
or more Immediately practical than It Is
now? The suggestion Of an answer to such
queries may be found in the public state
ments Of Miss Maud Royden, the ablest and
most noted woman evangelist Of England,
who, following in the wake of a small army
Of British writers and critics, has just ar =
rived In the United States for a lecture
tour. Miss Royden was assistant preacher
at the London City Temple. She later
founded the famous Guild House and is
noted abroad as minister of Christianity
She is admittedly n woman Of strong and
vivid spirit and profound earnestness.
What does Miss Royden think Of dane
| ing? Well, she believes that people should
dance because dancing makes them happy
| and that some of the modern dances should
| be abandoned because they are repulsive

hibitcd. prohibition" observes London'i
lady preacher, sis opposed to all my in

PINcHoT's REGULARITY

AYO AMOUNT of effort can take away
IN from Clifford Pinchot his regularity as
/ candidate for the Republican nomination
for the governorship.
He is as regular as Mr.. Alter. The one
who wins the nomination will be the regular
Republican candidate In the election.
The purpose Of the primary is to find out
which candidate the regular enrolled ke-
publicans prefer. 1t is n contest within the
party. No one but Republicans may par
ticipate.
Certain leaders Of the Republican organi-
sation. however, are saying that Mr.. Pin
chot is not regular because they have Sc
lected another man for the governorship
and hope to secure the nomination for him.
But certain other leaders of the organiZa-
tion are supporting Mr.. Pinchot, whom they
hope to nominate. And Mr.. Pinchot is sup
ported also by influential citizens who are
Republican, although they have no active
connection with the organization. They
are not men who take orders, and X they
had been seeking Endorsement for the nomi'
nation in good faith they would not have
withdrawn at the last minute when group
Of leaders selected some one else. Ihey
would have insisted that they owed some
thing to the voters who looked to them for
leadership and direction.
he represented the desire of considerable
number of voters for new deal in Harris
burg that he refused to Withdraw at the
request of the leaders who picked Alter.
He would have been false to those voters If
he had withdrawn and left them no repre-.
sentative Of the issues for which he stood.
The withdrawal of Fisher after his nomi-
nation papers had been filed was made be t.
cause Fisher. had pledged himself to fight
the kind of influences in Harrisburg which
Pinchot w&s opposing. The Fisher sup
porters in Philadelphia and in every other
county can throw their support to Pinchot
In the confident belief he will carry on the

The public will know on the morning OF

Mr.. VARE AND THE LADIES

nLAINLY a mechanician is badly needed
i for the Ware machine. \ driver is
needed. too. But the mechaniclan will have
the most important work to do. Gas there
is in plenty. But the thing won't go. and
when it does stir little it moves inevitably
toward the ditch.
The Ware organization manifested only
slight and belated interest in the woman
vote. Latterly, however, as the going be-
came hard the help Of women voters has
come to seem more and more necessary to
the downtown organization. Now Mrs.
Harmon and her associates, upon whom Mr..
Ware has been depending with increasing
anxiety, announce that they are angry.
They were snubbed by the Big Boss him
self and they have begun to talk like pro-
Tossing insurgents.
They should not blame the Big Boss. He
IL not yet reconciled to the woman vote.
Until very recently he seemed to have for
gotten that there will be such thing as a
woman vote. When a mechanician is found
for his machine and when some of the wheels
have been put /. in place again Mr.. Ware
ought to advertise for the aid Of a philoso-
pher. A philosopher could tell him that
gas alone won't run a machine that has
begun to 60 to.ruin fore and aft.

most conspicuously successful experiment in
aerial travel overseas. Alcock and Brown,
the two British fiiers who first crossed the
Atlantic, engaged in what was little more
than magnificent adventure. a glorious
display Of nerve and will. Their flight,
unlike that Of Captain Cautinho and Cap
tain Scadura and the American naval men,
was not calculated to add anything techni-
cally useful to the science Of long distance
aviation.
The gallant Portuguese officers did not
really fail. Neither did their motor. The
engines, after their long drill, were working
normally. The aviators themselves proved
that air navigation may be carried on with
6nc precision in any sort Of weather and
that planes can now find their way com
fortably and safely, even through the ocean
fogs. Their journey was interrupted, ac-
cordins to dispatches, by broken wing.
But, since men first began to fly, broken
wing has meant less to them than 1t means
to creatures that have been flying since the
beginning. 1t is not permanent hindrance.
1t is only an added incentive to flight!

A FEW BONUS FACTS

A GROUP of Republican Senators have
n voted in favor Of the passage of
bonus bill, and President Harding, who has
insisted that no bonus bill should be passed
which did not provide the money to pay
the cost, is said to be suggesting that the
tariff bill contain some provision for rails
ing the money.
In view of the heavy taxes now levied and
in view also of Secretary Melons estimate
that the deficit next year will be nearly half
a billion dollars, it will not be easy to find
popular tax.
Yet the bonus advocates will continue to
tell us that the other nations have paid
bonuses to their soldiers. They do not tell
the whole story, however.
The Italian bonus was from S157 to 1914.
But the Italian private soldier was paid at
the rate of from $3.50 to $14.50 a year.
was 1896 year.
The British bonus was from $25 to $145
and the yearly pay Of a private was $131 40.
And the French bonus of .46 was paid
70 soldiers who received a yearly pay of only
Sl7.25.
The United States has already paid a
bonus Of $50 to each enlisted man. But II
Il had paid nothing beyond the yearly wage
tbe financial status of the American soldiers
would be much better than that Of any OF
the European soldiers who have received
the extra compensation.
The American Government is spending
more than 81 100000 day for the relief
| of the disabled, and 1t will spend more II
necessary. But there Is growing belief
that the country is in no mood at the pres
ent time to tax itself heavily in order Il
| raise money to be paid to the able bodied
| men who received more generous pay a.
soldiers than that received by any of tn,
Europeans beside whom they fought.
