Wheeler on Piracy"

The seizure yesterday OF the
whisky laden British schooner Gam
ma, within the three mile limit,
brings up no such question as that
which is discussed in a letter to the
EOeaing Post from the ingenious and
resourceful Mr.. WAYNE b. WHEELER,
General Counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League.
Mr.. WHEELER. it is to be observed,
boldly and blithely waves aside the
three mile limit. 1t amounts to
nothing more in international law
than convenient minimum" for
the enforeemen ent of domestic jurisdic-
tion. Indeed at the same time he
waves aside International law itself,
saying that il is simply made up Of
customs and usages among nations
which have received general accept
ance and observance" He says that
the outstanding authorities declare
that the power TO fix the jurisdic-
ton on the sea in order to protect
the Government is an attribute Of
sovereignty.
What Mr.. WHEELER, in. his profess
sional capacity as an enforcer of
LIQUOR prohibition, regards as a con
venient maximum for the exercise
on the high seas OF this alleged at
tribute Of sovereignty does not clearly
appear in his blithe and bold para
graphs on the interesting subject.
Might it be twelve miles, or twenty
five, or fifteen hundred, perhaps !?
Theoretically, as far as his reasoning
Is Ineligible. it might extend for
search and seizure all way across the
Atlantic, let us say quite up to the
edge Of Great Britain's three mile
margin.
How easy the problem Of prohibit
tion enforcement on the high seas
would then become II Mr.. WHEELER's 5
claim of sovereignty was not pro-
tested and resisted by other Govern
ments concerned Under that view
Oh sea jurisdiction as an attribute of
sovereignty for the sgf-protoction Of
the Government the case Of the
forcibe removal Of MASON and
SLinrLL from the protection Of the
British flag on the Trent need not
have given LINCOLN and SEWARD a
moment Of anxiety during the dark
days of the civil war
But perhaps IL is rash TO follow too
confidently Mr.. WAYNE B. WHEELER s
teachings on questions Of sea juris-
diction and international law. Here
lie is, technically describing as "pi.

in or suspected OF smuggling liquor

Ems exact words. "If this nation
and other nations found II necessary
to extend that limit beyond three

A Billion Thrown Away.

There was printed yesterday in
THE NEw YORK HERALD an estimate
OF the cost Of the coal strike, COM
piled from figures collected by a coal
expert. His was the lowest estimate
Of several made by department ON
Gals, coal operators and representa-
tives Of labor organizations.
This most conservative figure, is
more than a billion dollars. 1t is
the sum OF the loss in wages to the
miners, the loss Of profits and over
head to the operators, the loss in
freights to the railroads and the ex-
ira cost Of coal to the public. The
total loss to the, country. as the ex-
pert calculated it, is $1,19O, 100000.
Call 1t d fiat billion and it is still
a huge loss to a nation that is being
heavily taxed to pay the principal
and interest of war debt Of twenty
three billions OF dollars.
If il costs d billion dollars to have
coal strike which ends before the
svrplns stock Of hituminous coal is
exhausted, what would coal strike
cost that lasted long enough to Grip
pie industry generally?
What would the bituminous coal
strike have cost in money if il had
lasted until midwinter, shutting
down the factories and the mills?
What would have been the cost in
lives If the strikes in both mining
industries had gone on?
These questions are not merely
academic. There is no assurance
that the United States will not be
faced, in the next few years, with
situation far worse than it has been
facing this summer.
This country can never be free
from coal strikes until the coal in
dustry has been put on a business
basis. If the investigation which the
Government is going to make Of the
industry does not result in a complete
reorganization that investigation will
be no better than the average in
quiry a lot of questions, lot Of
answers, some decimal points, some
sociological drivel, three or four
bound volumes of reports and
after that another strike.
Everybody knows that there are
more mines and miners than the in
dustry needs. Everybody knows that
the miners do not have steady work.
Everybody knows that because the
public is not induced to buy domestic
coal il the spring the anthracite busi-
ness is seasonal Everybody knows
that the prices Of coal are regulated
by the cost Of production in the lean
est mines.
And everybody ought to realize that
the only way to average production
costs, standardize wages and prices
and assure a steady production Of
coal all the year at money figures
that are fair alike to the operator,
the miner and the consumer is to
consolidate the coal business in a few
big groups under private ownership
and public regulation.
The sickness Of the coal industry
cannot he cured with sugar coated
pills. There must he a major opera
tion. Now. while the uatieut still
feels the pain is the time to take him
to the hospital

IRISH PEACE PLAN
BY COUNTY COUNCILS
Would Try to Negotiate Be-
tWeen Factions.

DUBLIN. Aug. 81 (Associated Press).--
A movement to establish a peace treaty
was started by the Roscommon County
Council to-day, which adopted sugges-
tion that delegates be selected for an
all ireland conference to endeavor 10
bring about peace.
The movement has been taken up by
the Galway Urban Council and indorsed
heartily by the Lord Mayor of Dublin.
The idea is that the conference shall
consist principally OF members of county
councils and corporations, and ls based
on the belief that although the Govern
ment may eventually defeat the irregu-
lars by force, yet the country will have
to pay dearly and be begsared in. the
process, and that IL is therefore pref
cradle 70 obtain peace by negotiation.

The fanciful oyster
Went out on a strike.
We looked for more Holsters
And made no salaams;
We took on some Holsters
And also some clans.
SO well did they serve us.
Such praise did they earn,

And now he is aiming,

EXPERIENCE IN
ROAD BUILDING.

We are again on the threshold of
another election which will decide
into whose hands the administration
of Morgan County's affairs will be
placed. One of the most important
county offices is that of the Road
, Commissioner. The development of
our resources, the future growth of
our county is dependent upon the
betterment of our highways. We
therefore as honest, upright citizens
should exercise the greatest care,
forethought and fair deliberation in
choosing our candidate for so i'm
portant public function.
The question which naturally
arises at every election is this: are
the men of my choice. competent to
hold office? 1t is at this point that
every conscientious voter will con-
slider, what experience means to the
workman, especially what it means
to one of our public officials.
We will let the editor of the
Knoxville Journal and Tribune
speak on this point. Wewill at once
see that he is on the ground of COM
mon sense. We will also observe
that what he wrote in his April ed
itoral is in high degree applicable
to our own affairs:
1t is safe guess to say that in
the twenty-one years of the pre-
sent century there has been collected
and spent in Knox county much
more than a million dollars for
building and improvement of the
county highways.
What have we to show for it? 1t
has not been the result of peculation
or dishonesty, that we do no charge
it is the result of inefficiency. Men
have been chosen to superintend
the construction and the upkeep

whom we believe to be above con-
tamination by the corrupting in
fluences that sometimes makes it
self felt and heard around our
legislative halls; he is man of
independent disposition and Of
marked ability and consequently
able to fight for the principles for
which he stands; he served his
country as soldier in the Spanish
American War. He was a delegate
to the National Republican Conven-
ton that nominated Charles. E.
Hughes for president, and we be-
lieve he would make representa-
tive in our State Senate for whom
the people of his district would have
no cause to be disappointed.

treaty is faithfully kept. The mock

help pick out the building place and
lay the foundation of the nest; then
he suddenly seems to make up his
mind that he is poor architect, but b
fine musician, and abandons house
building for the business of singing for
his own little world.

of the roads who knew little of the
science of the road building and
highway maintenance, who after
their election have tried to learn.
But by the time one may have learn
ed something he is turned out and
a fresh one is given the place. Per-
sonal or party-politics rules and the
public suffers.
If, we say with the beginning of
the present century, the plan had
been adopted for the employment
OF a competent highway engineer
to be paid liberal salary and giving
him charge of the road work, who
doubts that we would have very
much more to show for what had
been done with the money of the
people that we now really have.
Road builders are made, not merely
born.
Lawyers are not born such, nor
are doctors, they are born men and
women, it is education, study, prac-
tice that gives them success in their
professions. The same is true of
The mechanic that
