The Government Goes In.

Under the transportation act, under
general statutory and fundamental
provisions for the safety of the coun-
try and under the laws of necessity
and self-preservation there is no
doubt that the sovereign American
nation, proceeding through its ma
tional Government, is wise and is
right to assume the coal and rail
powers announced yesterday by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The coal strike has drifted nearly
four months, when there was no ex-
cuse for letting it drift four weeks.
The coal strike got into it's present
crucial situation because it was al
lowed to drift-allowed by everybody
TO drift
The railroad strike, what there is
OF it, is in no single respect so seri-
Gus a matter as the coal strike has
become. The railroad strike, what
there is of it, has not been al

was allowed to drift. There seems
to be no question that, in spite Of
some errors and miscalculation, the
great transportation systems have
been getting grip on their shop
crafts situation, demoralized for the
while at the start of the shop unions.
strike.
But the rail situation and the coal
situation are so inextricably bound
together in respect of the essential
distribution of the fuel that the one
problem cannot be separated from
the other.
The American people, therefore,
will stand with the Interstate Com
merce Commission acting in this
grave matter for the Government and
for the nation. But when the Inter.
state Commerce Commission backed
by the United States Government
takes on this responsibility the In.
terstate Commerce Commission and
the United States Government be.

Jokichi Takalnine.

DR.. JoKIcHI TAKAMINE, the emil
nent scientist whose funeral was held
In st. Patrick's Cathedral yesterday,
was one of many Japanese scholars
whose attainments in research and
invention have inscribed their names
high on the roster of public benefac-
tors. He was q close and unerring
analyst, whose constructive work In
chemistry was based on his exact
knowledge OF the elements with
which he dealt. In his own calling
he ranked with the most distin-
guished men of his day.
But DR.. TAKAMINE was more than a
great chemist. more than a leader
in the splendid work Of conquering
the mysteries Of nature for the bene-
fit Of mankind. He was a cosmopoli-
tan with q worldwide outlook, an in
telligent laborer in the cause Of inter-
national peace, an ambassador of
amity from once family Of human
beings to another.
His mentality was so resilient and
alert that his absorbing scientific OBJ
legations did not obscure his vision
of politics in it's larger aspects. For
many years he was by choice a res
ident of the United States, but this
fact did not impair his affection for
his native land. He strove to foster
between Japanese and Americans that
concord Of feeling all enlightened men
long to see permanently established.
He contributed importantly from his
wisdom and experience and good will
to the removal of Misunderstanding
between individuals of the two coun-
tries and between officials of the two
Governments. Indeed, his ambition
to promote good feeling between
America and Japan may have has
tened his death. for at the time Of
the Washington conference, when
caution counseled regard for his i'm
paired health, his unselfish ambition
led him to great exertions as an aid
to the negotiators.
In DR.. TAKAMINE's death Japan
has lost a great son, the United
States a valuable friend and the world
scientist of high achievement.

When summers blistering days came on
On her vacation Laura went;
No wonder with the maiden gone
The days In misery he spent.
He was as in sinking boat
And all his nerves were on the rack.
So many times to her he wrote
And begged her fondly to come back.
Not that he loved her---no. indeed
But his long hours began to irk--
So very muchi%c was In need

WASHINGTON. July 25.-Charges made
recently that the Federal Civil Service
Commission had been biased by political
influence in its examination and certi-
fication of postmaster applicants were
declared to be without foundation In a
report submitted to the Senate to-day
by special committee which spent
nearly three months in an investigation
Of the subject.
AS filed, the report carried the sigma
lures of Senators Sterling IS. d.. Colt
OR. 10. and Cummins (Iowa). Republi-
cans. Senator Ransdell (La.). one OF
the Democratic members. had informed
the committee. 1t was said, that he. too,
would sign the document. The other
Democratic member. Senator McKellar
(Tenn.), Is in his home State and was
unable to indicate his views with re-
spect to the-report.
The report said that while there were
mistakes made in the certificatfon of
candidates for the many places. the In
vestigaticn 1t made would indicate that
the mistrkes were surprisingly few and
that such as may have been are due
to errors Of judgment and not to any
wrong intent"
Judged alone by the cases presented" I"
the report went on, this committee be-
lieves that the work Of the commission
was ably and conscientiously performed
and that political influence has not been
used or II sought to be used has had
no effect in the examinations conducted
under supervision of the commission"
Rule Caused Controversy.
Further, In absolving the commission
OF blame, the report said 1t was be-
lieved that many Of the controversies as
to postmaster appointments had arisen
out Of the rule requiring the names of
the three highest eligibles for appoint
inent be certified by the commission to
the appointing power 1t added that
there remained a grave question whether
there would not have been less complaint
had that rule been abrogated and the
name of only the highest eligible SUBJ
mitted.
The committee members signing the
report said the body had not called on
members Of the commission or subordi-
mates to testify, but had obtained from
the commission q statement covering
every case which had been laid before
1t. The commissions readiness to fur
nish information caused>the committee

verbal testimony. the report said.
The report said:
THE committee was given to under
stand that the commissions records
were open to 1t and In the cases
where inspection was made of the rec
ords 1t was found that there was more
to Justify the commission In it's deci-
sions than had in fact been submitted to
the committee in the memorandum of
the commission of individual COM
plants"
OF the several hundred complaints
laid before the committee the report
said there had been found no failure
on the commissions part to observe the
laws and rules under which It operates.
1t was added, however, that there may
have been injustice done In some cases.
but that the fault did not lie with the
commission.

a Wool Tariff by Wool Senators.

The shocking thing about the tariff
duties on wool now being jammed
through the United States Senate is
not merely that they are extrava
gantly, inordinately, incomparably
excessive. Other tariff duties framed
by the Finance Committee and
adopted by the general membership
of the Senate are, from the point OF
view of economic sense and Of con-
sideration for the consuming public,
so high as to be outrageous. The
wool schedule, therefore, has plenty
of bad company. But that isn't all
there is to say against the wool
tariff.
The worst indictment of the wool
schedule and of the men responsible
for it, bad as Is the wool tax itself, is
that the wool duties were made and
are being driven through the Senate
under whip and spur by United
States Senators who are financially
interested, directly and heavily, In
the growing Of sheep and the produc-
tion of>wool. The circumstances are
fragrant.
Senator SMooT Of Utah, who in the
matter of the tariff duties on wool
acted virtually as chairman Of the
Finance Committee preparing the
schedule, is in the wool business.
Senator WARREN of Wyoming, one Of
the most powerful members of the
Senate, is in the wool business. Sem
ator GooDING of Idaho is in the wool
business. Senator STANFIELD Of Ore
gon is in the wool business: Amer
ica's largest producer OF wool and
mutton" his autobiography says.
Senator BURsuM OF New Mexico
is in the wool business. Senator
ODDIE Of Nevada is in the wool bust
ness. Senator CAMERON Of Arizona
is in the wool business.
This wool growing clique holding
seats in the United States Senate is
so thick with other Senators from
wool growing States that II can
command even Democratic votes In
the Senate for the unprecedented
wool duties that will put money into
the private pockets of the wool grow
Ing Senators making those wool
duties and jamning them through.
Their performance Is the last word
in personally interested, private
pocket statesmanship.
Imagine the shock It would be to
the American people to find judges in
the country's highest courts deciding
lawsuits in which they were finan-
cially nterested--deciding the cases
so as to put money into their private
pockets. Imagine the scandal this
woGld create in Congress itself and
tho cries that would go up there for a
legislative investigation OF such abb
horrent judicial practices.
Yet members Of the United States
Senate up to their necks in the busi-
ness of growing sheep and producing
wool, have not hesitated to make the
highest wool duties in the history OF
the country---have not hesitated, in a
matter deeply touching their own
private pockets, to put All extra wool
tax on the Americas people estimated
at not less than 5000, 100000 year.
1t Is possible. II Is even probable,

There were 1876, ,441 boys and girls in
agricultural extension clubs In 1921
for training in various phases of live
stock work. These junior farmers
owned last year 76,14s head of farm an
imals and 554.2s6 fowls, representing a
total value OF $3,605,176. and though
comparatively little was printed about
them. they are fully as important to
the country as even the most widely

Their Good Will Message.

1t is altogether fitting that among
the 100 American women who sail
for France to-day as members of the
National Good Will delegation to con-
vey messages Of friendship from fifty
American cities there should be four
Gold Star Mothers. Their presence
will give to the delegations mission
a richer meaning and deeper note
Of sympathy.
Mrs. HERMAN II. BrRNEY and Mrs
WILLIAM ABBEY of Philadelphia. Mrs.
OrTo BREWER of Wichita, Kansas, and
Mrs. CLAY G. STEPHENS Of Nashville,
Tennessee, each had son who died
On French soil and who lies under
French soil.
Perhaps these mothers thought the
war in which their sons were fight
ing would establish new era of good
will throughout the world; perhaps
they thought only that their sons
were in danger. Whatever may have
been their thoughts when their sons
went forth to battle, they know now,
as they sail for France, that the
world stands as much in need Of
good will as It ever has.
They know, too, that the voice of
the women who gave as they gave.
whenever it has an opportunity Of
making itself heard, will plead for
that good will. And when this dele
cation organized by the American
Committee for Devastated France
reaches Europe it will probably find
that the mothers of France have the
same thought.

the postmastership at Dayton. saying
the commission had gone into detail In
this case because of the newspaper

pointment as postmaster at San Antonio
Tex Mr.. Dickinson asserted that men
OF inferior business training and ex-
perience to him had been named as
eligibles but the report declared that
''the commission did hot err In not
giving Mr.. Dickinson a place among the
first three.
Charges that the civil service rules
had been violated in the appointment
OF Miss Alice Krebs as postmaster OF
Pottsville, Pa, were lacking In proof.
the report asserted. Miss Krebs's APP

1t was held that the commission was

Wilson Ends Law Partnership.

Woodrow Wilson's action in ter
nrinating the law partnership which
has existed for the past two years
between him and his former secre-
tary of state, cambridge Colby, will
be sure to set a good many tongues
wagging, says the Roanoke Times
Especially is this true on account OF
Mr.. Colby's explanation that the
partnership has been dissolved be-
cause of the former presidents desire
to turn his energies once more to
subjects which have long invited
him." In Washington circles this
statement will be constructed as tan
tamount to an announcement that Mr.
Wilson proposes from this time on to
take an active part in politics, more
specially as regards the activities
within the Democratic party looking
to the selection of a standard bearer
in the 1924 presidential campaign.

Less Fertilizer Used.

The Columbia State says: Consld-
erably less fertilizer has been used
by farmers in South Carolina this
year than was used last year, acord-
ing to figures on the fertilizer tag
tax collection from the office Of Sam
uel T. Carter, state treasurer.
Through December of this year the
collection on the tax was S12s,643.55
as compared with s14s,57o.42 through
December of 1921. This gives . diff
ference of $40, 926.S7 and at the rate
of rs cents tax ton means approx
mately $4,000 tons less fertilizer used
this year than last.
"a comparison of the figures this
year with 1920 shows big drop in
the use by farmers of the state. In
1920 the tax collections was approx.
mately S27O,OOO on Decslher>aas
compared with s12S,643.5 UDecem-
ber 8 of this year, a difference OF
approximately SALSA This would
indicate that in 1920 approximately
564,OOO more tons of fertilizer were
used than in 1920"
