Community Coal Piles.
A Plan to Give Continuous Work (,
Miners and the Railroads.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Miners
should have living wages and work
throughout the year and the consuming
community should take coal oontinu-
ously throughout tho year.
According to statistics miners are en-
pioyed only about half the year. and
the reason is that we as householders
do not support continuous movement
Of coal from the mines; hence moving
of coal must slacken and tho miners be
laid of. Househoiders can hardly ex-
pect coal operators 70 carry huge piles
OF coal merely to keep the miners occu-
pied until cold weather makes tho pub
lie buy again. Tho miners have worked
only half time through no fault OF Wall
Street, but simply through the thought
less indifference Of the community itself.
High cost OF mining and difficulty In
raising money have made II impossible
for operators 10 store coal at the mines
as formerly. 30 It In necessary for the
community 10 step in 20 make tho in
dustrial machine run smoothly again.
My remedy Is this: let there be oom-
munity coal piles which will be sum-
cient to take care OF the coal mined
during tho periods when mining opera
tions would ordinarily siacken, SO that
the now OF coal shall be continuous
throughout the year. In this way coal
operators and railroads can work cco-
nomically and the living wages for min
ors will be for full time and conse-
quentIy less than when based upon half
time work.
To carry this plan out my idea would
be to disturb as little as possible exist
Ing GOAL distributing agencies 20 that
one or more coal deposits In commu-
nifty would be made In or adjacent TO the
yards Of existing coal dealers, but be
under control OF public coal inspectors
In other words do with coal as we are
doing with corn and wheat Certificates
are issued for corn and wheat when they
are put In grain warehouses, and wher
the corn or wheat is wanted for export
or home consumption the certificates are
surrendered and the quantity OF gralr
called for II delivered. These grain GER

Railroad Regulation.
Present High Rates Attributed to
Handicaps In the Past.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Twenty
years ago the railroad companies wanted
an advance OF 15 per cent, in rates.
That great railroad man the late James
]. Hill said: 1--WE want one billion
dollars to repair our roads"
But various men that knew little
about railroads decided that rates
should not be advanced Senators that
represented inland States became con-
spicuous in their efforts to handicap the
railroads.
The railroads had to haul freight for
less than one-half cent q ton mile
and we got loads Of feed from Mime
apolis at three-tenths OF a cent ton a
mile. The weak kneed Administration
that put the workers on top almost broke
the railroads.
We and others that ship to twenty
States are no~v paying almost two times
more than the rates OF 1906.
When the swivel chair managers set
through regulating we may prosper once
more. ID. G. KENYON.

The Fuel Law.

The New York State Legislature
was as quick in carrying out Cover
nor MILLER's fuel programme as the
Governor was alert and businesslike
in devising 1t. A serious situation
has been met with a strong hand.
Under the new measure the Fuel
Administrator appointed by the Gov
ernor will have absolute power over
all fuel, except gas and electricity, in
the State. He may buy. sell, appor-
tion, and seize when 1t is boarded,
all coal, coke. charcoal, firewood and
fuel oil. He may limit the produc-
tion of light, heat and power. He
may look at the books and fix the
maximum prices OF the fuel dealers.
He may even close the schools If
necessity demands.
These are great powers, powers
that should be given to government
only in emergency; but this is a
grave emergency. 1t is vital that In
this State, which usually burns ten
million tons more of hard coal than
it may get next winter. there should
be fair distribution and no gouging.
To this end 1t was well that the Leg
islature did not entertain the re-
quests of various cities for coal COM
missions of their own. The situation
requires centralized responsibility
and action. The people of the State
may be sure that with man Of Gov
ernor MILLER's fairness and wisdom
at Albany there will be square deal
for everybody.
With good management by the
State and good management in every
cellar the Empire State will live the
winter through.

The Call Of Shakespeare.

The promise OF more representa-
tions than usual of Shakespeare dur
ing the present dramatic season may
be attributed to the commendable de-
sire of tho actors for an opportunity
to display their art at its best. Few
managers are eager to mount these
plays. There is general distrust Of
their present power to interest the
public. Probably since AUGUsTIN
DAILY there has been no manager in
New York who found pleasure in his
revivals of SHAKESPEARE plays for
their own sake.
The actors, however, are always
eager to incarnate the famous men
and women in the plays Of SHAKE.
sPEARE- They are probably more
anxious to do so nowadays than ever
before, since by no other link may
they be connected with any of their
great predecessors. No drama inter-
venes between them and the towering
giants of the earlier days. If one
excepts the few comedies Of SHERIDAN
and GOLDSMITH. Who to-day among
the men acts Sir Giles OverreGch in
"A New Way to Pay Old Debts? :?
MAssrNGER's hero was popular few
generations ago, but he is lost to the
stage. DR.. BIRDS Gladiator" no
longer treads the boards Of any thea
ter and Jdrter in 'Venice Preserved
has departed into the shades.
Even PGrthcniG no longer goes to
cleanse the cups. The proud Pauline
of Lyons has been so long absent
from the stage that her eventual re-
turn seems dubious. There is little
probability that Constance will ever
show again the delights of "The Love
Chase" This group of men and
women who were in an intermediate
gallery between contemporary. studies
and the portraits in the theater Of
SHAKESPEARE have ceased to have
more than historical Importance.
There is no reason to believe that
they will ever liye again before the
eyes of the public. A dramatic gen.
ius powerful enough to awaken them
from their long slumber is incon-
ceivable In these days. Moreover, 1t
is not certain that all of them would
be welcomed by the present genera
tion If they revisited the stage.
With all these intervening links
with greatness gone the actor who
would place himself in line with the
famous players OF the past must turn
to Shakespeare. Probably that would
in any case be his preference. BY
acting in the Shakespearean drama
he at once takes his place among the
mighty. Every actor with any of the
rightful ambition OF his profession
yearns to interpret the famous char
acters in these works at some stage
of his career. 1t may. be Romeo or
Shylock, but it is certain only this
ambition Of the actor keeps the
Shakespearean theater alive. 1t Is
because Mr.. WAKEFIELD is ambitious to
act Shylock, Miss BARHYMoRE to be
seen as Rosdltnd and Mr.. HAMPDEN to
add Othetlo TO his repertoire that so
much of the drama of SHAKESPEARE
is to be presented this season.

Strike Murder.

The Chicago authorities go as ear
nestly after strike murderers as II
they were any other kind of muir
derers. They report that they already
have confessions from two of the
men under arrest for wrecking a
train at Gary Indiana.
The murderers, according to the
police, are members of either the
machinists' or the car mems union.
Their motive was to make the public
think that the railroads were not able
to keep their trains and tracks in safe
condition because of the shopmen's
strike. To this end they pulled spikes
out of ties and removed cleats that
held rail sections together.
This crime resulted in the derailing
of baggage express train and the
killing of the engineer and the fire.
man. The shopmen thus sacrificed
the lives of two Brotherhood men to
no end, for the tampering with the
rails was at once discovered and the
public did not lose its faith in the
general ability Of the railroads to
maintain safe travel.
The crime may not have been delib-
erately inspired. 1t is better to think
that it was not; to think that it WAS
the result of individual viciousness.
But it must be punished, as the Her
rim murders should be punished and
as the abandonment Of trains In the
desert should be punished.

Wadsworth on the Bonus.

The speech on the bonus delivered
in the Senate on Monday by Senator
WADswoRrH was model of clear
ness and fairness. 1t was fair not
only to the country but fair to the
service men.
The New York Senator pointed out
that the bonus statesmen are timid
in two things. They fear to kill the
bonus grab. They fear to tell the
country what the grab really means
to the Treasury of the United States
and. the pockets of the taxpayers.
Mr.. WADswoRTH described the bill
as "an effort, almost laughable in
its futility, to persuade people that
money can be raised without impos-
ing taxes" The people will not be
persuaded. They know that they
paid, are paying and will for years
continue to pay the billions that the
war cost. They know that the bonus
grab means adding five more billions
to the debt.
The worst crime our Government
can commit, as Senator WADswoRTH
truly said, is to impose a crushing
burden Of taxation on its people
And the word people" includes the
very men who delude themselves into
thinking that bonus will be help
to them. They will pay for the
bonus, their children will pay and
very likely there will be part of the
load left for the shoulders of their
grandchildren.

The Cunning Season Opens.

For those who find recreation with
dog and gun the opening of the shoot
ing season means the fulfillment
Of day dreams which made work
lighter during the period when the
laws give Nature chance to replen-
ish her feathered tribes.
The statute permitting the shoot
ing of black bellied and golden plovers
and greater and lesser yellowlegs on
and after August 16 sent many gun
ners afield in the States of Maine,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
They report an abundance of these
birds in favored regions. In Con-
necticut, the District of Columbia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New
Mexico the season opens September
/. Later the Wilson or jacksnipe will
be added to the list of birds which
may be killed, and game bird 1t Is
in every sense OF the word, bathing all
but the most skillful gunners by the
eccentricity of its flight. In addition
IT furnishes Lucullan delight when
served broiled, roasted or in pie.
While the golden plovers in some
.parts of the United States are re-
garded as rivals Of the woodcock or
the jacksnipe, the birds shot In
Louisiana having flavor all their
own, they have never equaled the
jacksnipe in all-round popularity,
nor are they found In as wide a
range of territory. Travellers the
world over report this long billed
member Of the feathered tribe TO be
as plentiful in the rice fields OF China
as in those OF Louisiana, where rec
ord bags have long been made. There
are sportsmen who regard the jack
snipe as the jauntiest quarry this
country affords. When 1t takes the
air with its challenging note 1t is
indeed a gallant fellow.
Only those who have tramped the
rice fields or marshy prairies of
Louisiana have any knowledge of the
quality OF the snipe shooting once to
be had in the Teche region In the
neighborhood OF New iberia, Jen-
nings and Abbeville 1t is matter
of record that the late STEPHEN
PRrNGLE, who was perhaps the finest
snipe shot of his day, killed 365 birds
TO his own gun in a single day in
the vicinity Of Jennings, where he
had a shooting lodge he called the
Snipery.
Mr.. PRINGLE was subjected to criti-
cism for the size of his bag, which
was made as the result OF dispute
as TO the number of snipe one man
could kill in a day. He used two
guns and had loader. A wagon
carried him from one field to another
ever an area where the birds were
plentiful.
while the jacksnipe Is not now
found in such numbers as formerly,
Louisiana still affords the finest snipe
