such circumstances the Congress

anything happens to check the trans

Cent Stamp.

1t is well known fact that Uncle
Sam will carry a letter from New
York to San Francisco for two cents; /;
but that is only half the story. The
United States post office now carries
letters to many foreign countries at
the regular domestic rate. This
country leads the world in the realm
of cheap postage.
Announcement is made from WASH
ington that Spain and Argentina have
recently been added to our two-cent-
stamp zone. This Is just one step
in the extension Of the low letter
rate. For two cents Uncle Sam will
carry letter to Shanghai, China, or
to New Zealand. All parts of the
British empire can be reached for the
same price. with the exception of
a ustralia, India and Egypt. :,
Nearly all the countries of South
America and Central America are now
In the two-cent some. Sc also are the

l. The Sense of Humor.
There was man whose mind was
dense.
He dealt with fraud and faction;
He had dull Indifference
To comical reaction.
His withering glare made every smile
Fade like q futile bloomer.
No simple pleasure seemed worth
He lacked sense of humor.
Himself he ever glorified
With steadfast concentration,
An emperor who valued pride
More than a happy nation.
Then F1attery ceased her applause
And fame. q feeting rumor.
Turned to disdain-and all because
He lacked a sense of humor.
Be kind. We Fates-and warn US when
: We scepters steal or borrow:
Who laughs not with his fellow men
Can't understand their sorrow.
Far better be that humble clod,

Than pose. q bogus demigod,

Factionism.

Factionism is plaguing both parties,
and growing.
1t Is more conspicuous in the repub-
lican party because of the greater
prominence of that party in the pic
ture. The initiative is republican,; the
responsibility is republican. Leader
ship. in Congress and out, is Of that
complexion. Hence every republican
division, about men or measures,
comes under wide advertisement and
provokes spirited discussion.
But the democratic party is not far
behind. The spread of opinion that
the combination that won in 1920 Is
going to pieces with a smash is arous-
ing personal ambition in democrats
and causing clashes that may get out
of hand and cause party trouble in
1924. If, as many democrats believe.
a great melon is to be cut two years
hence, every fellow with following
wants as big a slice as he can get,
and is edging his way to the front,
platter in hand.
This is developing any amount Of
embarrassment for leaders and would
be leaders on both sides. They are
being interrogated, and whenever pos
sible pledged, on a variety of sub
jects-about where they stand on cap
ital, on labor, on transportation by
land and water, on an adequate ma
tional defense, and on foreign affairs.

Strike Emergency 0rae1k

Orders issued by the Interstate Com
nnerce Commission effect a govern
utent control of interstate railroad
Transportation to meet the emergency
caused by the coal and railroad shop
crafts strikes. This is the most
sweeping exercise Of the federal power
that has ever been undertaken, save
during the war. when 1t became nec-
essary to coordinate an the factnrs OF
TRANSFORMATION In this country. The
immediate purpose Of these orders Is
to insure the fullest and most effect
i've use of the rails and rolling STOCK
for the supply Of public necessities.
Certain commodities are to be given
preference in hauling. The shortest
possible routes are to ba followed IN
the movement Of trains, ard the dis
tribution of cars is to be gorarned to
insure a maximum of servic-.
There is much in the commission g
orders of technical character that is
not easily grasped by the public, but
the purpose is plain. Such coal as Is
being mined is to be moved in accord
ance with certain priorities of use.
The distribution Of cars is to be un'
der the general supervision Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. which
thereby can. in great measure, regu'
late the prices by Withholding trans
port facilities from profiteering opera
tors or distributors.
These orders do not constitute a
strike breaking move by the govern
ment. They are based upon the facts
of the two strikes and are designed to
make the best of the situation that
thus caused. Only to the extent that
they result in a meeting of the public
necessities in the matter of fuel and
food distribution and thereby prevent
an acute crisis are they calculated to
operate against the success OF the
strikes In every case Of strike the
hope of those quitting work is that the
public requirements will eventually
force settlement. The consumer is
thus drafted into the service OF the
strikers. If through these Interstate
Commerce Commission orders, effect
ing a sufficient service to meet the
urgent public needs, the strikes fail to
force settlement in order to prevent
general distress they constitute a
strike breaking element.
Other means of effecting adjust
ment. however, are to be expected
The government has undertaken t.
restore the production of coal and the

1t has turned over for the present to
the states the responsibility for secur'
ing the production Of coal. 1t is seek

sumption Of service on the rail lines.

merce Commission orders may faciIi-

Prevention Of Strikes.

Whether or not the coal commission
bill .intrudnced by Senator Borsh i
finally adopted as the best method d
proceeding toward the object atmed
at. 1t. is, at least, a commendable hrs'
step in the right direction. The bnl
does not commit Congress either to
the naturalization or the regulation
Of the mining industry, but 1t does
provide for ascertainment OF facta
which it is absolutely essential Con-
gress shall have before reaching . de-
termination: $40 49,
In explaining the purpose Of hil
bill. the Idaho senator said It Is "to
ad In making it impossible. In the fa'
ture, to have the public threatened
by a coal famine, ss at present
That is the uppermost demand which
is in the public mind today. The pub
lie hopes to escape the sufferings
which would attend a coal famine as
result of the present strike, but
whether threatened snfferings are ia
be averted or must be endured. the
voice Of the American people, is almost
a unit in declaring, "Never again.
There will be no abiding satisfaction
with whatever else the government
may do so long as this paramount
thing is left undone. And the public
demand is as insistent with respect to
transportation as 1t Is with respect te
coal. 1t has been brought home to
the people in a way they win not soon
forget that without fuel and transpor'
tation the nation cannot live.
Senator Borah has been at pains in
drafting this bill to provide for ca
pacity as well as impartiality. OF the
three members provided for his com
mission one would be selected upon
nomination Of the mine owners. sec
ond upon nomination by the organized
miners and the third directly by the
President to represent the public. The
nominee Of the mine owners would, OF
course, be a man thoroughly ground
ed in the problems Of mine ownership
and the man put forward by the
unions would understand and sympa
thize with the difficulties and the as
pirations of the workers. The Presi'
dent could be depended upon in choos
ing the public member to select man
of broad vision and understanding
who would seek every advantage for
the public without infringing upon the
rights either of the mine owners OF
the men who work the mines.
Such commission undoubtedly
would lay before Congress all the facts
which would be necessary to intelli
gent legislation. Whether effective
legislation would be forthcoming Ii
another matter. Should the present
strike be settled in the meantime. anc
especially if it should be settled be
fore public suffering became acute
there is the chance Indifference would
come again and that the present de
mand for action would abate. II
the people want to be protected
against recurring strikes they mus,
demand such protection, not only to
day, but tomorrow and other tomor
rows, and keep on demanding until
their demands are complied with
Congress must be made to understand
that in this case the great majority
of the people are united and insistent
and that their displeasure is more to
be feared than the displeasure of any
minority, no matter how closely or
ganized.
