our desk this morning. it explains"
which will count as Explanation
No. L." for another explanation will
shortly be due. Admitting its in
competency to figure the job, and.
Of course, fearing to repose that
much confidence in its neighbor con-
temporaries. the puzzle was sent
to the Western Newspaper Union for
an expert" to handle. Note in one
of his letters the Western Newspa-
per man says: "The size of the
type used in the publication of le-
gal notice has nothing to do with its
measurement any more than the
size OF type in any other advertise
ment has anything to do with the
measurement of the advertisement
itself" To all of which We agree,
If SPACE, not TEXT, is the require
ment. The Western Newspaper man
very evidently figured on SPACE.
If he did that, he is probably cor
rect, but any man who knows
printing Office from blacksmith
shop knows that a certain amount
of TEXT set in 8 point ami
loaded, will fill almost double the
space it would if set in 6 point solid.
So when given amount of TEXT Is
set in s point, loaded, it must be re-
duced, according to the standard
rule, to point solid. The laws OF
Missouri require that legal adver-
tisements be measured by the 6 point
EN-, fixing $50 ems to the printers
square, which is little less than
running inch. If the SPACE used
bv the Republican for publishing the
legal in question was figured on the
basis of point en-, it would make
about 64,969 ems, or 259 squares, as
the expert makes it, but take the
same amount of TEXT and set it III
6 point solid and it would only III!
about 146 legal point squares. In
publishing legal advertisements !,
is the TEXT and not the SPACE
that governs. If SPACE is the ar
ticle to be paid for, as matter or
course, the SIZE of the type does
not matter, but the laws of Missouri
reouire that so much TEXT must
occupy so much SPACE, to-wit, 25e
6 point ems to the printers square.
Hence, the error. which, probably
after all unnecessary hubbub Will
be found and corrected; but in the
first place, there was no excuse 1or
the error being made, save from IN
excuseable incompetency, Any Or
dinary printer can figure type cor
rectly. There is but one standard
rule, and nearly all printing ofi1ces
have that. With that rule a sixth
grade school child is as much "ex-
pert' as there is. Figures are the
same, no matter who makes them
The only test is for errors. And il
YOU can't figure, get an adding ma
chine. And if you can't do either,
of course you send the matter to an
pexpert' and cuss out your contem-
poraries for what happens

"GET THE MONEY"

If the statement of Senator Har-
rison of Mississippi that tariff sched-
ules are being tinkered with a ten
der regard to contributors of cam
paign funds stood alone 1t might be
countered by the comment. 1.-The Sem
ator is making speech" Unfo--
tunately for that ancient device CT
political strategy, confirmation of
Mr.. Harrison's charge has many
forms and many sources.
To the White House itself Treas
urer Upham Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee comes bearing the
glad tidirgs that the doings Of the
grand old party since it assumed
complete power in the national cap
ital speak for themselves, but that u
fund Of at least 100000 is urgent
ly and imm ediately needed to spread
the familiar fact.
In Pennsylvania Clifford Pinchot,
who knows something about money
in politics, having spent nearly
$4,000 upon the primary for Gov
ernor, is angry over his defeat in EN-
deavoring to secure State chair
man of his own choice, because, as
he charges. it means the assessment
of Office holders for funds.
Either the committee must aban-
don assessments" he says, "or he
will boycott it and run a separate
campaign of his own"
In Michigan, where the issue of
Newberry implacaMy haunts the
party managers, their intention is
already apparent to seek cures in
the hair of the dog that bit him. This
is always a family prescription with
practical politicians, where CAM
paign money is concerned.
BY way of helping out his treas
urer, Chairman Adams of the Re-
publican National Committee pre-
sided at dinner attended chiefly
by gentlemen of long purses, who
are in politics by proxy and who
turn up in Washington when tariff
rates are being framed. A report
of an initial check for $4,000 sup
ports Senator Harrison's statement
that former Chairman Hays vir-
tuous $1,000 limit is emphatically
abandoned.
If the Republican Campaign Com
mittee has resolved upon campaign
literally creased with provision for
Legitimate campaign expenses" it
does not for it's exemplar and watch
word, need to go back to the great
Bryan scare of 1896, when the Wall
Street Journal says 100000 was
spent and Hanna burned the books;
nor to Dudley's "Blocks of Five III
1888; nor in 1880, when, as Chester
A. Arthur admitted, Indiana was
really, suppose Democratic State"
but was carried by Republican
soap" All Messrs Adams and Up
ham and the tariff lords have to do
is to dig out and brush off the stir
ring appeals of Henry M. Blair only
two years ago: "But, boys, get the

il there is anything in the argument
of the shipping Board to the effect
that operating dry ships would meaI
a sacrifice of revenue, the same logic
would apply to the operation of dry
cities, counties and States.

Nonunion Operators
Protest to President

Representatives of the largest pro-
ducers OF nonunion bituminous coal In
this section of the country, acting in
accordance with a resolution adopted
at mass meeting of nonunion opera
tors. sent telegram yesterday to
President Harding protesting against
the plan he had proposed for a set
Element OF the present coal strike.
The telegram signed by T. E. Hous-
ton CINCINNATI; j. G. Bradley, Dun
don, w. Va: E. L. Douglass, Cincin-
natl, and ]. c. Brydon, Somerset, Pa,
follows:
Cincinnati, Ohio, July 10. 1922.
To the President OF the United States:
On behalf OF the nonunion coal OPP
orators OF the country who are sup
plying SO per cent Of the requirements
of coal and still have a reserve ca
pacity available, we formally and re-
spectfully protest against your an
nounced plan for the settlement OF the
present strike in the bituminous In
dustry for the following reasons:
/. The nonunion mines have ac-
complished that reduction in the labor
cost of producing coal which Is justi-
fed and required by present economic
conditions and have sold coal al the
mines at prices consistent with the
wages paid, thereby making possible
to the public that reduction In the
cost of living to which 1t is entitled
and which should not now be surren-
dered.
O. The resumption Of work at the
union mines at the scale of wages in
effect March 81, 1922, will necessarily
cause wages in the nonunion fields TO
be raised correspondingly to enable
those fields to hold their supply OF la
Dor. The effect would be to disrupt
the adjustment OF wages which has
taken IS months to accomplish.
8. The public should not be COM
peiied to continue to buy coal mined
At wages which are the result OF war
time conditions, and which are the
highest wages ever paid in the indus
try.
4. Your plan for the negotiation of
the settlement of the present strike in
effect grants special privileged wage
TO union labor which is not based on
economic conditions and thereby
grants It subsidy at the expense OF
the public, without the public's con-
sent. for an unlimited period OF time
as II may be extended by strikes in
definitely.
.. The nonunion operators and their
employees have stood between the
public and the efforts OF the United
Mine Workers to create a monopoly
and we feel sure that when the public
becomes aware Of the effect OF this
proposed settlement they win vigor-
ously join with us In protesting a.
gainst the proposed surrender Of its
advantages.
Protest is also made against inclus-
ion of mines, or districts which have
resumed operation under new wage
scales since April /.
This protest is sent pursuant to res
olution passed by meeting OF nonun-
ion operators representing large
majority of the production OF coal In
the nonunion districts.
