No solutions for economic troubles
win ever permanently succeed that
.are not in agreement with basic eco
uomic laws. In the present emer-
gency, the great trouble is that people
are looking for miracle to happen,
and for prosperity to come back at a
single jump. Sound prosperity will
return to the United States in accord
ance with the operation of basic eco
nomic laws. and what those people
who now are calling for political help
for industry should be made to APP
fpreciate is that what they are seeking
is an interference with the operation
Of those basic laws, as they work the
country out of a situation which is the
aftermath of the war. Help for pres
ent conditions, with respect to the
farmer and every other worker. lies in
a speedy alignment of the wages and
prices which are now out of line with
the general level, in a reduction of
taxation. and in a restoration of sound
conditions of finance. The only help
that legislation can give is in the re-
duction of taxation and a repeal of
such laws as interfere with a return
to normally. II is not enactment of
new laws that IS needed but the repeal
Of a number of old ones.

THE IMPENDING COAL STRIKE

/ The country is threatened with the
most gigantic coal strike in its history
April /. On that date expire the con-
/ tracts of both the bituminous and the
anthracite miners. This is said to be
the first time that this has occurred.
/ Spokesman for the miners say that
l'they do not get wages enough on
which to live decently. The operators
retort that the scale of pay is high.
The earnings of 4Ss contract miners at
/ % operations show a monthly aver
age of $2e8. Unskilled laborers get
| 521k cents an hour. while from IS
to 35 cents is the scale prevailing in
ether industries. There are many in
Gica;ions that the miners will be beat
I en-.
/ The mine workers ought to remem-
Der that their declared intention to
insist upon the demands that they
have formulated means hardship to
millions of fellow workers in other
occupations. Evidently they haven't
given that fact the slightest consider
alton. They are thinking only of them
selves.
II a moderate reduction in pay wins
the consent of the unions. it will help
bring the coal industry into line with
| the times. The move would open the
way to activity and would renew pros
perity.
New demands, new attempts to in
crease the already high wages, would
lead toward misfortune and would call
! for the united opposition of the corn-
try. Business depression resulted IN
part from the high price of the fuel
vital to mechanical work. The coun-
try would sink into possible new dis
tress at new sharp increase in the
cost of coal. Z,
| What the coal industry needs is
conformity with other industries in
deflation. A reduction in wages will
permit that prices be lowered in or
! der to stimulate the use of fuel, which
IS the breath of PRODUCTIONS nostrils
What the miners themselves need is
lower wages, so that there will be
enough orders to keep every man busy
/ during every day in the week
| In the courts OF law, it is now held
to be an unassailabIe principle that
/ in an industrial conflict such as is
! threatened, the rights of the public
are. paramount to the rights of capital
and the rights of labor.
Thus far what probably is the wisest
thing that has been said by any OBJ
server on side lines is this utterance
of Catholic priest in Pennsylvania.
Remember that the general public
of the United States has been your
friend he said to the miners. with
out it's sympathy. you would have
! nothing. Remember that an excess
sive wage in one department is paid
by the workers in the other depart
ments."

ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY E HOUSE
tFrom Philadelphia Public Ledgerl
In Behalf of the Bonus.

Sir-Your frequent slurs pertaining
to bonus for. ex-service men would be
nauseating would not the source of
such contumelious utterances be con-
sidered. Why the Public Ledger ex-
pends good money nationally advertiS-
ing itself and then counreracts same
by keeping such an egotist on his pay
roll is beyond me.
Did England, Canda, France and
A~Atra1ia play politics when they
granted a bonus on money borrowed
from this country? You with your
vainglorious midwestern ways hand
me huge laugh and not with you.
but at you. Much rather had you re-
manned the proverbial big fish in the
small pond. BY the way, who ever
sent r you, or were you run out of
your former environment?
r. J. HAGER.
SIRE bonus. Couldn't Adelaide
have spared you-or was it because
you're yellow?
ROBERT T. ELKINs.
The arguments advanced in behalf
of the bonus by the gentlemen quoted
are mastery and overwhelming They
will, we imagine, convince nearly
everybody who has questioned the adj
visibility of such legislation. But
we're a stubborn sort, deeply rooted
traverse. We still believe the bonus
measure to be unwise legislation.
1t is a large question; there is much
to be said on either side. Probably
no individual is large enough to COM
prehend all of the wisdom, all of the
justice involved, in it. 1t merely oc-
Cured to US to stand up for the tax
payer. We know we'd be pretty lone
some doing SO, altho we are not as
lonely as we imagined we should be.
The taxpayer fought pretty good
war. 1t seems to us he is entitled
to some consideration. But our con-
Germ for him is entirely disinterested.
The amount we contribute to govern
ment is insignificant. 1t will be not
appreciably increased when the bonus
measure become a law.
There is another thought involved
in the mesh of the question. The boys
who fought in the Argonne-and at
Camp Dix-were striving to make the
interpreted, democracy" means in
dividual freedom and opportunity. If,
in this democracy of ours. decent,
well-behaved citizen may not express
an honest, orderly opinion touching
a public issue, the boys lost their war
There is no freedom where temper
ate speech is muzzled.
We had expected twenty-five
abusive letters. So far we have re
ceived only three. We'd have printed
the other but we mislaid it. OF the
twelve or fifteen received-mostly
from ex-service men-the others in
dorsed the point of view projected
herein. Democracy seems to be run
ming along all right.
It is interesting to know the New
York World and Senator Borah were
responsible for the arms parley ant
are entitled to be credited with what
ever was accomplished. Where de we
get that stuff? Well, we got it from
the World.
But we believe Senator Borah will
indorse every word of it.
Every little while our faith in
America is revived. Mrs. Asquith s
first lecture bored its New York audi
ence almost to extinction.
We seldom interfere in a domestic
difficulty. but the incident of the Con-
necticut gentleman who threw a cat
at his wife impels us to speak. Much
as we dislike cats, that is no way to
treat one.

BIZ DOROTHY DIX,
worsd.s Highest raid Woman wrstee,
The Male F1irt-f.
Y DOROTHY DIX,


1t is reported that the reformers are
hard on all filtration Especially are
masculine flirts to be abolished. The
man who stands on the street corner,
and ogles every passing skirt will
find the Jail yawning for him, and a.
for the he-vamp, there will be some
thing with boiled oil in it for him.
The suppression of the male flirt is
supposed to be done for the protection
of women, but have little knowledge
of my sisters if they will thank any
one for protecting them against love-
making, real or spurious.
What encoura cement is there going
to be for a woman to put in a couple
of hours waving her bobbed hair, and
attiring herself in her knee length
skirt, and her best hand made COM
plexion, if no rowing eye on the street
is to be permitted to follow her with
an admiring look in it? What is fir
tation but a bite of the forbidden apple
to women, and what is life going to be
without it? Cinders, ashes, and dust.
After all, the masculine flirt is not
as red as he is painted, vnor as danger
Gus as he is supposed to be. Leaving
out of discussion the street masher,
who is after all only menace to those
women who are deliberately seeking
temptation. the men who play at love
making divide-up into certain types
so familiar that any women with a
grain of intelligence in her recognizes
each at sight.
The most familiar is the universal
flirt. He starts out with the primi-
tive idea that the way to entertain
a woman is to make love to her, just
as you would shake a rattle at aby.
His theory is good but he lack dis
elimination in applying it. In time he
gets to be too glib with his story. Be-
sides, no woman cares to be admired
by a man who admires every other
woman.
The thing that goes to her head is
the Illusion that she has captured
a citadel that every other woman has
stormed in vain
The universal fIirt's brother Is the
loye-at-first- sight man. You meet
him two minutes before he takes you
in to dinner. On the way to the table
he tells you that he was thrilled by
your appearance the moment he en-
tered the room.
