Although the continuance of the coal strike has
increased the strain on some industries, no general
shortage of fuel exists. It is Important, however. that
the controversy between miners and operators should
be settled before a condition develops in which the
country as a whole must suffer from a serious check
to the revival of business. The event may demon
strate that there is now too little appreciation Of the
fact that, as conditions stand, with no settlement in
sight, a real shortage of fuel is threatened.

Successful business men do not con-
slider friendship in engaging men to
fill positions of responsibility-they

the people of Wyoming in the United
States nj than Mr.. Kendrick.
Nj. Mondell has been in congress

Editor Drurys Attitude

Six years ago when Hon. John E.
Kendrick was a candidate for cleo
ton to the United States senate this
paper gave him its loyal support.
Some have asked why it is now op-
posed to him. It is a legitimate ques.
ton that we do not hesitate 10 an.
.vrer.
It is purely a question Of public in.
terest and public policy. Mr.. Ken
drick has been for a number of years
a personal friend of the publisher of
The Times. and it is a friendship that
is cherished. During these years we
have never known OF a personal or po-
litical act of Mr.. Kendrick that would
in any way reflect upon his character
or integrity. And during the cam
paign. should he be a candidate for
reelection. this paper will publish
nothing tending 20 discredit his per
sonal honor. Blu in matter pertain

Inheritance of Russian Problem

IT is BECoMIN increasingly evident that the
L. Russian problem is of major Importance. 1t has
a significance which is not adequately measured by
the volume of commerce which may be developed
with that country in the immediate future. The I'M
poverishment of Russia which has resulted from the
war aud the tragic experiment in communism IS Sc
nearly complete that the country's recovery will at
best occupy a long period. Since foreign capital is
indispensable for the economic revival of Russia, the
existence of adequate bases of confidence in The
soundness of the future policy of the Russian govern
ment must be the starting point.
1t seems useless to expect, however, that a com
plete settlement of all the political problems peculiar
to Russia will prccede the definite graphing with
economic problems. The same is true of other Euro
pean political questions. In part, the political prob
lens will be solved by the application of remedies to
essentially economic ills.
This opinion finds a measure OF support in the fact
that in various European countries in which disturb
ing political problems have persisted, in ways and by
degrees not precisely measurable, the economic foun-
dations have been considerably strengthened in the
last year. Such betterment undoubtedly helps to
explain the sustained appreciation in the exchange
value of q number of currencies and the ability to
check initiation in some countries.

Without a Job

All the smile goes from ones face,
When you haven't got a job.
All OF life seems like n race,
When you haven't got a job.
The old grammar said JUS try,
Get n crowbar that will pry.
Try TO draw the ocean dry
When you haven't go a job.
Lots of nonsense now in books,
When you haven't got n job.
Not so nice as printing looks
When you haven't got n job.
Then you feel Just like n den
Flu OF wild and savage men,
Makes you want your ma again
When you haven't got a job.
Seems that dreams win not come true
When you haven't got n job.
And your brooches knees wear through
When o haven't got i job.
Men look at you with dis, rust.
Makes you feel that you are musseL,
And you think it's all UT Just
When you haven't got a job.
Then you see the cars so thick
When you haven't got a joS.
Makes you wonder bout the trick
When you haven't got a JOB.
Men get rick on every hand,
And you see their homes so grand
Yes, it's hard to understand.
When you haven't got n job.
You remember now once more
When you haven't got n job.
When from home your presence tore
Just to try to get a job.
You had told your wife so true.
Not to think of getting blue.
You would buy a home that's new.
When you finally got a job.
But those words should not be used
When you haven't got a job.
And two hearts should not be fused
When you haven't got a job.
Who fills life with awful dread?
Why should Lincoln now be dead?
Why should homes be needing bread
When we haven't got a job.
why should young men ever live
When they haven't got a job?
What a n country give
When we haven't got a job?
VIII they take an interest then?
Work for home INT common meI
Can we really live again,
And be steady on a job2

Because IT is in the middle of the

explained Ned.
Now there were many things hat
Ted from the city was able to teach
his unit cousin, Ned. But there
were also many things that Ned knew
all about tha Ted did not understand
at all. so he did not question the wis
dom Of Nod but proceeded to get ines
reay and to dig bait.
Next morning at sunrise both boys
were awake. as good campers always
are. because that Is tho best time Of
day and also because they go to sleep
as soon as it is DARK. As they ap-
preached the stream. Ted started to
rush for a pool in a bend. But Ned
called him back.

a lake. and trout are not X perch or
horned pout or cat fish. You have to

Ted thought he was joking. How
con you sneak up on a fish?" he
laughingly demanded. And Ned began
TO explain more things about fishing
for trou in a small stream than Ted
ever imagined existed.
First. watch out for your shadow"
warned Ned. Remember. it doesn't
just fall on top of the water. it goes
right through the clear water TO the
bottom and the fish see It just as
plainly as you can e my shadow
here"
Ted looked at Ned's shadow and
nodded. He began to understand. but
"a fellow can't lose his ~nhadow.'' he
laughed
He can keep it where Mister Trout
won't see it, said Ned.
"Well. let's start" called Ted.

Ned. Il wish it had rained or been
cloudy he added.
"Now I know why rainy days are

Ned laughed quietly at this and
sneaked TO the bank of the stream
Ted went to another spot. Both boys
made quite sure their shadows did not
fall into the water, they kept quite
still and made certain they stepped so
lightly that their footsteps wouldn't
shake the banks and thus scare the
fish.
They tossed their a in at the same
time-there was n splash and Ned
yanked out a lusty trout. But Ted
worked his halted hook in vain, and
after Ned had put his fish in his bas-

The Issue Plainly Put

THE NEXT WAR will not be against a foreign
j nation but against a foreign philosophy is the
view taken by Bird S. Coler, commissioner of chart
ties of New York. The next war is not in the future
i. is here now, asserts Mr.. Coler. "The day is one
in which the issues are sharply drawn between those
who believe in the American home and family as the
unit of our social and political structure, and a be-
in God as the best safeguard of public and private
morality and those who would have the state, or
volunteer social agencies, assume the responsibility
of parents and Danish the thought of God from con-
seriousness.
at is no longer a question as between the believers
in one OF another creed founded on belief in God
but a question between all who believe in God and
all who do not. The struggle between these two
forces, or state agencies, is on. I favor no state re-
lgion. But 1 stand against a state intolerably IRE
ligious."

diagram like Figure 2. the arrows

hungry they get out into the shadows.

"N'ow let me tryr' exclaimed Ted.
He went carefully to the next ripple.

Thanks, Ned" he exclaimed "If

Women Can Fix IL

"VHE WOMEN Of America can bring an end 70
L child labor and with despatch" believes the st
Louis Star. "They have two ready weapons, the bal
lot and the boycott We venture to say that the
women of North Carolina and other states using chill
dren for profit are just as much interested IN the
welfare of their young as those Of any other com,
monwealth and now that they vote and have learned
the value of organization It will not be long before
thew make the exploiters of children behave.
Failing to get the proper legislation the women can
have their way by refusing TO purchase articles made
by baby labor. wide the boycott is not usually to
be recommended as a weapon of reform nearly any
step is justified that will end the cruel practice OF
taking the joy of life out of American children soon
after they learn to walk"

Bull Mooseru Is Dead

"THE FFORT of Democratic leaders to revive
l. Bull Moosery-to read into the results of recent
Republican primaries in Indiana and Pennsylvania n
condemnation of President Harding and the Sixty-sev-
eth congress-is hardly supportable from the record, -
views the Washington Star.
"Mr. Beveridge does not so construe his nomina-
ton. He made his campaign as a Republican. accepts
his success as a Republican, pledges his service if
elected to the president and speaks for a reunited
Republican party in Indiana.
"Mr. Pinchot does not so interpret his nomination.
He, too, is a Republican. and so declares himself. The
leaders of the organization over which he triumphed
pledge him support in November, and he is accepting
their assurances with full knowledge that without
their support he could not be elected.
"Bull Moosery is dead. 1t was a live proposition
when and while alive, but when it died, it died all
over" Its leaders and its followers were men of
force and purpose, but those who remain and are in
action today are seeking to accomplish their ends
through the agencies of the Republican party. They
are to be dealt with as Republicans"
