"RUGGLES" COMMENTS

Many people will remember Rug glcs, of Red Gap" That efficient Eng fish valet, becoming Americanized un- der the pen of Harry Leon Wilson, developed fine standards and practi- cal ability. His unconscious humor running through his own account of his life as the proprietor of an lex elusive" restaurant in Western town where they had never known of such an establishment, was compelling. He took himself and all life very serious ly, apparently and therein lay the humor of his tale.
 One may imagine .Ruggles standing in a beautiful glen in California, just at daybreak. Into the charming sur roundings comes his creator, Wilson, the writer, followed by his two sec onds Presently there appears Will sons enemy, the artist Light gloves are fitted to the hands of each gen tleman." They face each other.
 "Ah," murmurs Ruggles. 'I pray MT. Harry's training in Honolulu has him we'll for the contest. He was in the habit of treating himself very well--very well indeed, was Mr. Harry"
 The artist waits. Harry strikes the first blow. The artist comes back at him. Harry falls A shudder shakes the frail frame of the, sensitive Rug glcs. Harry rises. Again they face each other. Again, and again and then again Harry falls even unto five times
 Enough" cries Harry, or words to hat effect.
 T am inclined to believe" mur- nurs Ruggles as he wends his way vearily back through the shadows of he great trees standing in the glor- JUS early morning sunlight. II think | ny proper sphere of usefulness IS not | mong the living, as the creation of lr. Harry, but rather between the | uractiNe covers of a work of fiction.

THE COAL STRIKE

About 600,000 coal miners are or strike, 100,o0o of them being non union men. The soft coals miners de- mand the present wages, a siN-h hour day, a ive-day week and the check off. The operators would cut wages 20 to 40 per cent, no check offs and no state agreements.
 The hard coal miners demand 20 per cent increase on contract miners, Sl q day increase for day men, check- of and eight hour day.
 There is about two months soft coal on hand; of hard coal there is a little less,
 As the hard coal colleries are all unionized it is probable there will be no production while the strike lasts. There will be, it is believed, about 5,O0o,0o0 tons a week of soft coal produced, which is approximately 3,o00,oO0 tons less than the weekly consumption in 1921.
 The non-union miners have been earning good wages and working regularly throughout the year. The union miners have not fared as well in the immediate past. This fact, of course, does not prove that the recent welfare of the non n-union miners was

 Philosophical Phil smiled content edly, rolled lis cigar about in his mouth and leaned comfortably against the lamp post
 You have interested mo very much" said the stranger, moving away. "I believe this would be an Ideal place in which to live-your political situation Is so good"
 He started toward the railroad sta ton but halted a moment as he heard the sleepy voice of Philosophical Phil following him.

RUSSIAN FREE SPEECH

IL is practically impossible for an
 American 10 conceive what free speech" will mean to a Russian when
 hc has at last realized that 1t is his. There is no present fear Of the Cheka the agents of which inyesti-
 gated every remark tainted with an-
 tagonsm to or even disrcspcct for the government, with the result, usua Fly, that the guilty speaker suffered pun ishmcnt, death or punishment.
 Despite this present comparative freedom, however, it will be years, customed 10 guarding their tongues, will speak sanely, naturally. Before that time comes there must pass period when. realizing that they will not be punished no matter what they say, Russians will indulge in wild eX- pressions for the very joy of being able to say whatever comes into their minds There will follow period when the futility and veritable fool ishness. not to say danger of such talk is appreciated, and after that will come the time when sanity and req in speech will prevail speech which making allowances for the difference in temperament of tho races, will resemble closely that of other countries where free speech has been the rule for generations.
 1t is for this reason that allowance should be made for cXtravagant state ments often heard coming from Rus sians in their own land. They arc for the first time weapon the strength Of which they do not know because of their unfamliarity with it. When they have learned the l power of the weapon, its value as a means of expressing just what they feel, and, unfortunately, its usefulness as a cloak to cover their true feelings there. will be less revolutionary talk, | less bombast. Until that time comes all should be charitable with the Rus sians at home.

not brought about by union activities, It is believed that they are bcnehtlng hy the stnnd unions have taken in the past,
 The fact that the non-union miners have been making from sS,bo0 to s5,- ooo annually however, while the union mon have not done as well, dis counts the prediction of union leaders that non-unlon men will strike with the union men in greater numbers.
 The attitude of both sides seems to be that a fight 10 a finish is desired, The irregularlty of work causes un- rest among the men, They would have more assurance of moro steady work without loss of the high wage The operators would give more steady work, but would pay less when the wage is figured by the day
 The Kansas Industrial Court as or dcred the wage scale of the past two years be continued for thirty days. The miners there have oboyed the strike order despite the court. If the order Of this court is sustained eventually hope for the future may be seen in this method of settlement pending de- cision of labor troubles.
 The Federal government is in position to force production If the supply of coal threatens to fall to such an extent that there will be a coal famine, The government will not take action at present.
 It would seem that the only possi- be solution would come when non- union wages and conditions are ob- served more generally without of union strength, or when there comes official union of the satisfactory cond- tions under which men have been in non-union fields.

APRIL FIRST

x April First has been observed as a ; festival from ancient times. One sacri- legious explanation of origin of the day as later commemorated dates \ back to the time of Christ. The fact { that about this season of the year X there occurs the verna equinox con- meets occasion Of it's observance with April Fools Day" as it is known It was not until the beginning Of the eighteenth century. however. that the day assumed the characteristics which now arc attributed to it-a day for practical jokes, and one may readily believe that France was the first country to make much Of the oc- casion.
 In ancient times the savage man gained his excitement by deeds of violence. Probably nothing appealed to his sense of humor other than "humor" which was largely physical, rough-"slapstick stuff" it might be called today. As civilization came ex- citement was found in other, less strenuous ways. Entertainment grew less boisterous and men learned that they might lead lives full of consider able excitement without resort to physical strife
 But the matter of humor seemed to fail to keep pace with that of en- tertainment and excitement. Slap stick" fun is still popular. Jokes that are rather tragic than humorous seem to please many people. April Fools Day seems to be a feast of joy for them.
 A sense of humor leavens all life It is the great panacea It makes life possible in many instances where lack of it would drive 10 desperation It saves many people from taking themselves and others too seriously. 1t prevents people from maintaining an attitude Of habitual criticism. It is to be cultivated.
 If April Fools Day" could be day for the emphasizing of the value Of sense of humor, real humor, ob- servance of it should be revived all l over the world It would help all of us to regain a proper sense of propor-
