FORWARD, NOT BACKWARD

As we think so we are. We can do almost anything
is we only think we can. On the other hand, we never get
anywhere if we start off by thinking we can't. Everythingl
depends on the state of mind, The high-brows call it the
the muscles to a large extent, and if we think a certain way
and our mind is made up to that effect that is the way we
are going to act and that is the way we are going to work.
All this is inspired by a little walk down Smith street
the other day. We met a prominent business man and We
began to talk about Perth Amboy. The business man was
of the opinion that this city was going backward. In fact, he
was quite sure of it and cited instances to prove it. OIL
course, he would never admit it to an outsider and he de-
clared he always boosted the city when away, but, never
theless, he was convinced down deep in his own heart that
the city was going backward. 1t was really depressing to
hear him.
Saying goodbye to him, we passed on and caught up
with another business man of this city who is in a different
line of work entirely. We had not gone very far before this
business man also began talking about Perth Amboy and he
also was of the opinion that the city was going backward.
The trend of his whole conversation was discouraging.
We began to think of the effect of all this on the city in
general. If these two prominent business men had made up
their minds that the city was going backward, how many
more were there of the same opinion? And if everybody
gets TO thinking that the city is going packard, that's the
direction she's going, sure as preachin.' Perth Amboy nor
any other city can ever hope to get anywhere if the citizens
have lost faith and confidence in the place. If everybody
goes about with the firm conviction that the town is on the
toboggan, that's where she is, alright, and she is slipping
fast.
But Perth Amboy is not going backward. There are
evidences on all sides to show what progress is being
made. 1t would make a great deal more progress, though, if
eg.zens in general would perk up a little, take an interest in
what is going on, boost instead of knock all the time.
1t is all in the state of mind, after all. If everybody
would get the idea that Perth Amboy is going backward out
Of their heads there would be such a change in this place
that people would not know it in a short time. Perth Amboy
is going forward, not backward.

@. How did the privilege of send
ing and receiving mail free of post

A. This privilege was once en-
joyed by the President of the Unit
ed States, vice president, heads of
departments, senators and repre-
sentatives, and other officials of the
government during their official
terms. For a time all former presl
dents and widows of former presi-
dents, also had this right, but by an
act of 1873 the privilege was abolish
ed. By later acts it was conferred
on all officers of the government n
the case of official correspondence.
In 1895 members of congress were
allowed this privilege in their Off

ons Were illiterate.
@. Is there any foundation for
the stories so often heard about
toads being found sealed up in rocks
or in trees and taken out alive after
hundreds of years?-E. r.
A. The Biological Survey says
that statements which relate to toads
being found sealed up in rocks or
walls or within cavities in living
trees usually are inventions Or can
be explained in an entirely different
manner from the account given BY
the authors. Some careful expert
ments have been conducted along
this line. Toads were confined in
specially constructed cavities in
blocks of limestone and sandstone.
and these blocks were buried three
feet deep in the garden. The toads
confined with sandstone were found
dead when the boxes were opened at

OPERATION NOW PLANNED
FOR OLD KING COAL
Daily Letter by Frederic ,. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11:-Old
King Coal, whose condition has
been a source of worry to himself
and to everybody else for SIX
months or more, is about to under
go a rigid diagnosis to determine
what kind of an operation, II any,
is necessary to restore him to nor
NAL health and efficiency. In the
course of this diagnosis the merry
monarch may be subjected to what
surgeons call an exploratory oper-
alton. Indeed, under the AUTHORIZE
ton of congress. the experts VINO
are to be assembled by President
Harding may do almost anything to
the patient.
Congress and the general public
seem to be in much the same frame
of mind with respect to the coal in
dustry that was manifested by the
harrassed wife of a chronic invalid.
Sometimes she said, Il almost
wish he'd get well or-something!"
When anything gets wrong with
coal the whole economic and indus
trial establishment is upset, and coal
has been falling" for a long time.
The condition became acute as a
result of the strike hat began last
April and eventually congress de-
cided that something had to be
done about it. Hence the commits
zion of experts with a fund of $780,
900 to expend and a years time in
which to make a thorough study to
determine what should be done with
coal.
1t is somewhat of an anomaly
that in this case the patient itself
is no longer suffering, for the time
being at least, and whatever heroic
remedies are to be applied are for
the benefit of others. AS soon as
the strikes were settled it was GER
tain that all the miners in both the
bituminous and anthracite fields
would have steady employment at
good wages for at least a year, and
that all the operators would have a
ready market for all the coal they
can produce. with prices higher
than they have ever been before.
This means prosperity and content
ment for both miners and operators
until the coal shortage has been
provided for.
Under normal conditions. as the
public has been informed repeatedly
within recent months, the coal in
dustry is over-manned and over
mined. There are too many mines
to supply the tonnage required, and
too many miners to produce thai
tonnage. The result of this so far
as the operators are concerned has
been hat low-cost mines have had
everything their own way, while
coal prices have been determined
largely on the basis of production
costs in mines that really should not

So closely identified that it may be
deemed advisable to handle them as
one proposition. The railroads con-
sumo 80 per cent of the coal that IS
produced, and they haul practically
every ton of it that is used by other
consumers. Admittedly distribution
is one of the most important phases
of the coal problem and little can
be done toward stabilizing the in
dustry until it has been solved.
Only the extremely sanguine VIII
expect n action by congress on
The subject for many months to
come. The commission has a year
in which to do it's work, and it is
quite within the bounds of probable
tiles that an extension of this time
will be asked, while after its dag
nosis or report has been submitted
will undoubtedly be slow
to act if the commission recon-
mends anything at all radical or
revolutionary. If the time required
to pass the new tariff law may be
taken as a guide no step so extreme
as government ownership could be
taken within the next decade.

WHO'S NEXT?
Wage Cut Planned For Fed.
eral Employees

Washington.-The House of Repre-
sentatives appropriation committee
has introduced a bill cutting $50 a
year off the wages of government en-
ployes receiving less than $2,50O by
reducing the bonus from $240 to $3.50.
The committee claims that living
costs have slumped and that the pol
icy of congress is to pay government
workers wages enough to buy liv-
ing and no more.
Officials of the National Federation
of Federal Employees contend that
rents are notoriously higher than
during the war" and that prices of
most of the necessaries of life have
materially advanced in the last few
months.
The government will save S13,464.-
120 by the cut.
1t is explained that this amount
will pay one-quarter of the amount
of the subsidy the administration is
in favor of paying the ship owners
in order that they may realize 10
per cent net on their investment.

TOMMY ROT
Says Editor Frey of Press
Comment on A. f. of L.
Convention Action On
Judiciary

Cincinnati.-John P. Frey, editor.
International Molders' Journal,
stamps as tommy rot" much press
comment on the action of the Cincin-
natl convention of the A. F. of L.
on the courts usurpation of authority.
"In their efforts to convince the
thoughtless that the purpose of the
federation is to destroy the constitu-
tionally authorized power Of the
courts, they call attention to the we'll
known fact that the trainers of the
federal constitution had in mind es-
tablishing necessary checks upon the
three branches of government, the
legislative, executive and judicial .
says Editor Frey.
Calling attention to these neces-
sary checks, they point out that the
executive is a check upon the legisla-
tive branch; that the judicial is a
check upon the legislative and the ex-
ecutive, and that the Legislative is a
check upon the executive branch.
"But they carefully avoid calling
attention to the fact that following
their line of logic, as well as their
statement of fact, they provide for
no check whatsoever upon the judicial
branch.
"This is the nub of the question.
This is the principle at issue Since
the United States supreme court has
usurped the power to declare legis-
lation unconstitutional the other two
branches of the government cannot
| have any check upon it.
What the American trade union
movement has determined to accom-
| plish is an equalizing of these checks
| as they were intended to be by the
| trainers of the constitution, and es-
| tablishing one and for all the fact, as
well as the doctrine, that the people
| themselves must be the final voice
| in legislation, if self-government is
| to be a fact instead of an abstract
| theory
"Checks upon the three departments
of government are necessary, ano
fully as necessary upon the judicia
branch as upon the other two"
