through the emphasizing of the jus tice of their demands.
 Two things are needed at this time, and there should be no delay on the part of those upon whom the duty Of bringing these things about devolves There should be quick action in the courts in punishing the men who are found guilty of Nolence,s threatening lfa and in one instance bringing death. and labor unions should take immediate action showing that offi- cially they discountenance violence and will not recognize as members men who commit violence. If ever there was time when delay in the courts is deplorable, 1t is now. All other business should be put aside to punish the guilty, if the guilty are found in the train wreck matter, In order that there may be no mistake about the ability of the authorities to prove their case and present a warning to those who think that the strike situation takes from such a deed its criminal aspect.
 Labor has a chance now to prove its assertions that 1t disapproves vio- lence. We believe organized labor was not responsible for the crime of the Gary wreck. Let organized labor do its utmost to prevent a recurrence of such a deed by any union members, by stating officially that membership in any union will be denied any men found guilty of any sort of violence in connection with the strikes.

JOHNsON,s VICTORY.

Again comes news of the success of a man in politics who, whatever else may be said about him, is charac- terized by strength of personality. Whatever else Hiram Johnson is, he is man who stands out, for better or for worse," from those about him. It is said that his former self confi- dence has become almost repulsive conceit, that his former championship of the causes of the people has be- come the attitude of the demagogue and that good judges of character have discerned coarsening of the traits which formerly they deemed estimable in him. Certainly many of those once opposed to him have be- come his supporters, and the support of some of them, such as that of Hearst, is not considered by wise men, to be compliment. Certainly he has lost the favor of others and it is insisted that the allegiance of those who have deserted him was the sort of allegiance of which a man might be proud
 Whether or not these comments are true, 1t is seen that the people of California prefer man of strong opinions and constant energy to one whose merits do not impress them- selves so forciby and who lacks. ap- parently, the ability to convince the people that when he fights for them he will fight hard As tendency toward lack of strength in the leaders at Washington grows more evident, the hold on the people pos sessed by men who have a reputation for strength of personality increases

SENATE APPROVES
 BONUS BILL, 47-22
House Leaders Plan to Send Measure to Conference Under Rule Limiting Debate.

Washington. Sept. 1.-Approved by the senate 47 to 22, the soldiers bonus bill was sent back today to the house. which passed it last March by an even greater proportionate ma jority. House leaders planned to send the measure to conference today under special rule which would limit debate sharply.
 Senate and house conferees will be the same as those on the tariff meas ure but since there are few points of difference between the two houses on the bonus, the managers are expected to lay aside the tariff long enough to frame report on the compensation measure. With favorable action on this report by congress the bill would be ready for the president.
 Both friends and foes of the bonus claimed to find satisfaction in the senate lineup. Foes pointed out that this showed thirty-three senators against the bonus, or enough to pre- vent passage over the president s veto should he disapprove it as they confidently expect he will. On the ether hand friends pointed to the fact that the number of senators support ing the bonus on the roll call yester- day exceeded by one the necessary two-thirds majority of those present and voting to override a veto

SOFT COAL AND WOOD.

No matter how soon or how long
 much soft coal and much wood will be used to take the place of the scarce | anthracite. Wise householders will read the advice printed concerning the safe and proper manner of burn ing soft coal especially in grates and furnaces made for anthracite or hard coal.
 Boiled down the advice as to burn ing soft coal seems to be to attend to the fire more often; in starting a fire put the paper and kindling in the front of the fire box and the coal at the back; when the coal is well ignited pull it forward and put on fresh coal at the back; always leave some red fire showing to keep the fire safe and prevent explosion; the gas must be burned. Do not bank" the fire at night, but leave some red fire showing, as at all other times. More draft is needed for a soft coal fire than for one of anthracite and such a fire is more difficult to check than fire of hard coal.
 The main point to remember, to assure safety against explosion, is to leave the red fire showing so that the gas which is released may be con- stunned.
 The President of the New York State Farm Bureau association has appealed to farmers to cut a quantity of hard wood for use of city con- sumers. The more such wood is used the less insistent will be the demand for coal when 1t is obtainable, and the more heat will there be to keep people comfortable. Those owning wood lots here would do we'll to note the suggestion made in New York State and have wood on hand to sell in this emergency.

HOPE STILL STRONG
 IN COAL REGIONS
Operators Say They Will Yield If Wage Question Is Impelled By
 Public Mandate"

Philadelphia, Sept. L. Develop ments in the anthracite coal tie-up today occasioned renewed optimism for an early settlement of the dis pute that has continued 5000 mine workers in idleness for five months.
 While efforts of none of the moder- ators to bring the two factions to- gether in a new conference has been successful much importance was at tached to the statement issued by the operators last night that they will yield on the wage controversy if inn pelled by public mandate"
 Significance also was placed on the announcement by the operators that they will meet again on Saturday. By many this was taken to mean that their attitude would be sufficiently modified to warrant the resumption of conferences with the leaders of the mine workers some time next week making possible a complete ad- justment of their differences by the end of the week.

DISCARD STAMPS
One of Last Remaining Symbols of the Old Regime in Germany Is To
 Be Done Away With fin Short Time,

Berlin, Sept. 1.-One of the last remaining symbols of the old regime in Germany will pass away with the withdrawal of all postage stamps of the familiar "Germania" type on Oc- tober 31 next.
 This striking design, first adopted In 1900, played a measurable part in fostering the militarist movement that brought disaster upon the Father land.
 The original of the mail-clad figure of Germania was Frauleih Anna Fun ring. of the Imperial Opera. whose portrayal of the role so impressed the former kaiser That he ordered her likeness to be placed upon the new postage stamps of the empire.
 Since the establishment of the re- public numerous protests have been lodged against the continuance of this design, and now that the new indus trial series of stamps has been com- pleted, instructions for its suppression have been issued.

THE OTHER ANGLE.

Everyone is familiar with the crit. icism of the dime novel" which treats of crime and desperadoes, anG is said to suggest to young boys tha, it would be great fun to go out and hold up train or two, or to become highwaymen and bold, bad charac- ters, terrors to the community.
 And everyone knows how the stage vampire Is thought to have sug- gested the delights of vamping to the school girl and innocent nlinde 1 young woman who would have been otherwise perfectly contented to find her excitement in life in alarming brothers socks or helping mother wash the dinner dishes. These criti- cisms are familiar and possibly de- served.
 But little has been said of the other side of the question. No emphasis has been laid on the education in eluding criminals the dime novels have given men and boys, nor has it been pointed out how the young women of the day have learned to use the wfles of the stage vampire to cast into outer darkness the designing masher.
 But this is the educational process that has been going on. A news item tells how, recently, profiteering by the things he had learned from the dime novel, man fell, when he was shot at, and feigned death. The vil- lains passed him by for dead and he was saved.
 In all fairness it should be remem- bered that good as well as evil has come from the dime novel and the stage vampire.

THE BONUS.

There Is chance for an honest diff ference of opinion in regard to the advisahiity of granting a bonus to former service men. Those who insist that 1t would prove too great burden upon the people to assume have sound business sense on their side Those who say that there are some burdens which must be assumed no matter how heavy they are have examples in the every day life Of almost every man and woman to which they may point for proof. Forty-seven senators voted for the bonus, twenty-two against it. It is inconceivable that forty-seven men who have won the high position of senator are willing to stamp them selves bad managers of affairs which the people have given Into their charge, merely to curry favor with former service men and those inter ested in them.
 It is being said that many of those 1t is an unwise measure and rely upon President Harding to veto it. It is trying to give service men their bonus and not be blamed because it is denied them. Too much emphasis is being laid on this presumed senti- ment among those who stood for the bonus Senators and representatives at Washington know President Hard ing and his characteristics too well to rely on his vetoing anything that has the popular approval of perhaps half the people of the country. No action of his has shown disposition to take strong affirmative stand on any dis puted point There is nothing in his character as displayed in his public life to make one believe that he would take the full responsibility of taking from former service men the boon their representatives have granted them If President Harding vetoes the bonus bil it will be the first strong affirmative act of his public life. and while supporters of the bonus may excuse themselves to those opposed to it, for voting for it, by saying they expected the President to veto the measure, it is doubtful if that expectation really influenced their action in regard to the bill.
