The Coal Strike Outlook.

Most ominous of all the features at
tending the threatened coal strike
situation is the seeming willingness of
both operators and miners in some
states to let the strike come and fight
out the issue to the bitter end. In
sides to negotiate a compromise for
that state alone, but the national
union of miners objects, insisting upon
joint meeting Of employers and men
of the four states comprising the cen
trail competitive field-western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
The operators of western Pepnsyl-
vania and Ohio refuse to meet in joint
conference, insisting on settling the diff
ferences with their own men. The
operators of Indiana reject that plan
and demand the four-state conference.
Thus it would seem that never was an
industrial situation worse COMPOUNDED
nor more harassed by conflicting pur-
poses. The national organization of
the mine workers favors joint con-
ference, and so does the government.
Indeed, such meeting was authorized
at the general conference Of March,
1920, and directed to be held prior to
April 1, 1922.
Meantime, the miners are voting for
strike, barring a settlement before
April l. 1t is estimated that 80 per
cent of the men will vote to stop work.
If it comes it will be a finish fight in
which both sides will suffer. The great
est sufferers will be the population Of
the four states. and in addition thou
sands Of others in states far removed
from the scene of the contest.
Secretary of Labor Davis has issued
final appeal on behalf of the public
to the operators and miners ''in the
name of common sense to get together
and save the country from the costly
results Of a strike" The outlook. in
view of the stubborn contention OF
both sides to the controversy, is COM
plicated by the fact that each side is
divideds into factions controlled by
local conditions of cost of production.
1t is expected that the government
will exhaust every resource to bring
the factions together into conferences
that will avert this threatened ma
tional calamity.

The Senate and the Pacts.

The debate in the Senate on the
pacts growing out Of the armament
conference will cover some Of the
ground covered by the debate on the
pact of Versailles.

Too Much to Ask of a Child,

A European writer, Rudolph Re-
quadt. has scheme for studying the
human animal. He is now looking for

his scientific colleagues purpose to
turn loose half dozen boy and girl
babies. Concealed from the infant the
students will see what the young of
the species can do when it is left to
it's own resources. The watchers will
take notes and make motion pictures.
Mr.. Requadt's idea is not new. More
than twenty years ago, in a short
story called 'Primordial," the late
Morgan Robertson caused a boy and
a girl, each aged about three years,
to be cast ashore on opposite sides
of a lonely island. The boys strug-

Mudbound.

There is no news in the announce
ment that Virginia roads are bad
that is. that many Virginia roads are
bad-but there may be some encour-
agement in the announcement that
many Of those roads are now so bad
that rural sections are mudbound, and
that "storekeepers, unable to reach
shipped to them, are putting their
customers on short rations, and that
in many counties physicians are un-
able to reach their patients even by
travelling horseback"
When roads become so bad that they
cannot be endured people turn strong
1y toward the matter of good roads. or
at least toward the matter Of better
roads. Much objection is made against
taxes levied for making good roads,
but bad roads are also tax on the
communities or sections which have
them. 1t is quite likely that they are
q heavier tax than that which would
be required to build good roads. That
IS a question for the people of the dis
tressed sections to settle, but it is
noteworthy that when people go in
for good roads and get them they
never show any disposition to slump
back tc bad roads.
Washington is in no position to
throw mud at Virginia's roads. even
though she has plenty of it to throw
and it is believed that many Washing
ton streets can "see'' the bad roads of
Virginia and 'go" them a good deal
worse. 1t is because of the condition
of many of our streets that Washing

The Republican Task.

Replying to the summary by the re-
publicans of their first year Of power,
Chairman Hull of the democratic ma
tional committee declares with other
things that they have failed to make
good partly for the reason that they
came into power with no adequate
conception Of the task before them.
His charge in substance is that, in the
homely old phrase, they bit off more
than they have since been. able to
chew.
The republicans need not hesitate to
confess that the task they found ex-
ceeded their expectations. The mess
was almost appalling in it's messiness
1t was all sorts of a mess. 1t affected
everything, but particularly business,
which was dislocated, depressed and
all but demoralized.
But, though extremely bad, the mess
had to be tackled, and tackled it
promptly was.
1t will not soon be cleaned up even
if matters go well with the remedies
the republicans are now preparing and
applying. 1t embraces many things.
and some of them things hitherto un-
known in our affairs. We are pioneer
ing in many Of our efforts to escape
from morass.
But escape in time we must. and
will. The notion that we are stalled
and in peril of sinking out of sight is
an affront to the intelligence, the
spirit and the staying power Of the
American people.
The republicans have need of unity
of purpose and action. If they will get
together and stay together, and fight
the common opposition as spiritedly
as they are now fighting one another.
the mandate they received from the
people in November, 1920, can be

~ EN- PHIL SHERIDAN'S. IA
nous horse that bore him
from winchester twenty
miles away" to turn defeat
into victory at Cedar creek, Is going
to be placed in the National Museum
here, together with a large collec-
tion of other war relics.
This results from Representative
Ambrose Kennedy Of Rhode Island
interesting himself in the matter
when he found that this famous
horse. mounted and caparisoned as
when ridden by his dashing master,
was stored on Governors Island.
New York. He knew that every
school boy when he studies his his
tory will be thrilled by that DASH
ing, daring ride of Sheridan's. He
appreciated that this horse ought to
be in the museum here, where 1t
could be visited by the tourists who
come annually to Washington, and
especially by the parties of high
school students.
So Mr.. Kennedy took up the mat
ter with Chaplain Edmund Banks
Smith, o. r. c., secretary and treas
urer of the Military Service Insti-
tute of the United States. whose Gus
tody of this. famous horse has been
a labor of love for years, and with
Charles D. Walcott, secretary Of the
Smithsonian Institution. The result
is that Chaplain Smith is getting per-
mission from the officers of the Mill
tary Service Institute to turn the
horse and other relics over to the
National Museum, and Secretary Wal
colt is sending a representative of
the museum to arrange for the
transfer.
Chaplain Smith has sent a circular
letter to the officers of the institute
and to the council of administration
recommending the transfer Of the
stuffed and mounted war horse, to-
gether with a framed autograph let
ter of Gen. Sheridan. He expressed
belief that these officials will approve
the proposal.
X
Inasmuch as the horse is a loan
grant to the Military Service Insti-
tute from Gen. Sheridan. Chaplain
Smith has written to his heir. Mrs.
Sheridan, now living in Washington,
for permission to have him moved
to the National Museum. If the Of
ficers of the institute authorize the
transfer. He also feels that this per-
mission will be readily given.
For many years this famous horse
has been on exhibition in glass
case in the Clock Tower building a t
Governors Island, the headquarters
of the institution. At the outbreak
Of the war in 1917 the chief of ord
nance wanted the use of the space
occupied by the exhibit-which was
then put in storage in a ware
house, where Representative Kennedy
found it.

The initiative taken by Representa-
tive Kennedy to bring to the National
Museum this important historical and
patriotic exhibit is good illustra-
lion of how members of Congress can
use their official positions to help i'm

Last Games OF Season.

Saturday afternoon at Rosemont
Park VIII witness the closing games
.of the City League, when the Inter
woven and the Blair teams play a
double header. these games having
been postponed from last Saturday
due to the rain and bad condition of
the grounds. These two games will
be the most hotly contested of any
games played this season, by reason
.of the fact that these two teams are
leading the league with but a small
margin Of difference between them.
These games VIII decide which team
wins the pennant and the large sill
yer trophy in the window Of House
worth & Zimmerman store. The
rivalry between them has been
great, and interviewer has the stel-
lar role to perform, for in order 10

There is no admission charged to
the games and it IS expected that
