Truth of Tone.

At first a beginner in music natu-

sharpness Of definition and freedom
from distortion. and very little weight
to truth of tone. Later on, he gradu-

correctness of outline are only part,
although an important part, in deIin-

the relative lights and shades Of the
picture correct as it is to get the out
lines, which are only the margins or
boundaries of those lights and shades
distinct and true.

Shortage During Coming Win

BACKING BY GOVERNORS
President Receives Assurances
that Protection Will Be
Given Operating Mines

Washington, July 21.-Develop'
ments of plans for stretching out the
nations coal supply, now dwindline
under continued impact of the mine
and rail strikes, was the immediate
concern yesterday Of federal officials
acting in the industrial situation. Sei
retary Hoover announced that within
q day or two the Interstate Com
merce commission and the commerce
department would put into operation
a scheme of diverting to essential
transportation lines the coal coming
from nonunion mines and those that
may be opened up in union territory
by use OF priority orders governing
transportation.
The object will be the maintenance
of the transportation machine.
Next in order for coal supply from
the diminished output, it was indi
Gated, would be the northern Great
Lakes ports, and should it be found
impossible to avert a shortage the
coal distribution plan might be ex'
panded to become complete ra'
t!oning of supply to other industries
and territories, as their necessities
might appear.
Attorney General Daugherty com.
mented in connection with this plan
that the strike disruptions had al
ready made it certain that there
would be a coal shortage next win
ter.
Replies of governors to President
Harding's invitation that they guar
antee protection to mine operation
continued to come to the White
House, practically all assuring the
federal government support.
Governors of Arkansas, Montana,
Oregon and Texas had not responded
tonight while from Oklahoma an ac'
Acknowledgement of the White
House message was received saying
the governor would reply later. Gov.
Groesbeck OF Michigan, outlined
plans for opening mines there under
state control with federal sanction
but comment was withheld.
Secretary Hoover, in discussing
the possibility of coal rationing, in
dicated that imports of coal from
abroad might help the situation, par
ticu arly in New England where the
ports are equipped for unloading coaI
from ships. He pointed out that a
considerable number of cargoes had
been coming to Atlantic harbors
from England since the American
strike began

Yours very truly,
Jas. c. Colgate.
Bennington, VT, July 2l, 1922.

The action taken by Mr. Everett
and Mr.. Colgate to protect their
properties is regretted by both, but
is made necessary by the vicious acts
of a few persons who have destroyed
early fruit, damaged young trees and
committed otler depredations. II
would seem as though a person OF
ordinary common sense would know
better than to hitch a horse to a
young fruit tree and permit the ami.
NAL to destroy the growth OF several
years. Likewise it would seem as
though person of ordinary common
sense would realize that the practice
OF cutting wire fences with clippers
could only result in action by the
property owner that would withdraw
whatever privilege the public had
hitherto had upon the premises.
The major portion OF the vandalism
on the Colgate and Everett prop.
critics has been caused by persons
who are residents neither of Benning,
ton or the state of Vermont and the
prohibition made necessary by their
depredations is all the more to be
regretted for this reason. Mr.. Ever.
cit has always desired that the pub ic
be given certain privileges on his
property but has found such a course
impossible. Mr. Colgate regrets tha/
he has been forced to make restr
tions but see no other solution OF a
disagreeable situation.

The Baltic delegates were firmly

that stand like The Man With the
Hoe, so threateningly.
When man at last does put aside
the selfish for the unselfish there
must be one more step to a perfect
federation of the world. That Is
correct association. Today we call
1t, brotherhood. When these two
ideals become uppermost in the
hearts and souls of mankind, tho
family, social. national and world
life will become ideal.
This ideal is probably long dis.
tance in the future. But my prophet
saw the light coming and said that
the day should come sometime as
certainly as light is light and God is
God.
The other day | was reading in the
newspaper an article in which Wood
row Wilson said that the writiO>j of
my prophet had been his guide |
believe, and | dislike to say anything
against a cripple and a sick man,
that if Mr. Wilson had not been SO
arrogant and had not insisted in not
having single amendment added to
his famous Fourteen Points, that the
United States would have gone into
the League OF Nations during his
term of office.
The nations must in due time come
together, All nationalities will be
brothers. Each, of course viii have
its distinctions, but with all the goal
will be paramount, the parliament of
men
For his preachings and teachings.
my prophet suffered all kinds OF
earthly torment. He was cast in Jail
when 25 years Of age because he op-
posed absolute monarchy. He saw
that a republican form of government
was necessary to the progress of the
individual. He was driYen from every
country in Europe, an exile He
lived in the slums of London, educat-
ing and giving his life to the poor OF
his own nationality He returned to
Italy and died at Pisa starved and
broken down
Today there are memorials to his
name in many parts of the Christian
world. They are erected to him who
died unhonored but left. his mark In
the world because nature had made
him a man and told him how to tell
others how to become men,
Dr. Ravi-Booth closed by reciting
Angela Morgan's poem entitled
''When Nature Makes Man,
You ask me who my prophet and
rebel is answer, Joseph Mazzini.
The entire proceeds received from
the lecture will be spent in caring
for some 2OOS neglected graves in
