Government to Mine Coal?

While the coal miners are admittedly seek
ing naturalization of the coal industry, con-
troll and operation of the mines under govern
mental authority, branch of the government
service, the shipping board, is insisting that
the government shall go out of the business of
operating merchant marine The experiment
of the government in the shipping business is
causing a loss to the government of S50000,-
600 year. The enterprise into which the gov
eminent was forced by the exigency of
proves in peace time to be disastrous,
that other emergency, undertaking OF
governmental operation OF the railways. Gov
eminent participation in business activities
has been shown by actual experience to be a
failure
In his testimony before the committee of
the house and senate jointly holding hearings
on the merchant marine bill, Chairman Lasker
of the shipping board declared; IF there is
one unanimous opinion in the country regard
ing merchant marine it is that the gov
eminent construction of merchant ships should

said: ANY free competition with the privately
owned shipping of the world, through success

AS to the coal industry. which the miners
desire nationalized. it is contended by those in
the industry who oppose governmental opera
ton that there are certain basic faults in the
coal industry which naturalization would not
cure. The publication Coal Age specifies these
to be intermittency of operation, high wage
rates, union domination, disposition toward
car shortage and acknowledgement. Curing
these alleged faults, the Coal Age holds, is
job for management, not politicians and the
task of the industry, not of government.

Recognizing Russia.

Should the United States government rec
ognize the government of Russia? 1t is being
sounded on this point. There some ques-
tons that should be firss made clear. One of
these is that there should be insistence
the right of the Russian people to choose their
leaders. They have right to government
that represents them as a whole. The present
rulers are self appointed. They seized the
reins of power during a revolution and they
have held them since that time In the mean
while there was in the United States the cleo
ton of president and congress, and there is
pending the fall vote the candidates for
congress. it cannot be said that the rulers of
Russia have had no chance to submit their
case to the people.
Not only has the United States held an
election. but France has held one and has
made a change of leaders. The German en-
pire has entirely changed its form of gov
eminent and is now under republican form.
1t cannot be rendered as an excuse that there
has not been time for the Russian people to
act Lenine and Trotzky have manifested no
disposition to refer their case to the people, or
to favor the enactment of a law or a constitu-
tional provision by which administrati ton, as In
this country, will be selected at stated inter
walls. Until Russia has government based on
national suffrage it is not stable government
but in case of violence that would do away
with the present rulers would be plunged into
anarchy. Another reason is that the soviet
government is maintaining huge army and
is thus peril to other governments in Europe
especially when recalls the hatred that
the soviet has for other governments. This
government must insist that the army of Rus
STA be reduced. We have less than $50 600 SOL
diers in the United States, and population as
large as that of all Russia. The big army of
Russia is peril to the people of that country
because it leads the way to a military despo-
tism. 1t is this huge force that prevents a free
expression in Russia.
The United States government should not
hold out the olive branch to a government
whose tenets are inimcal to other types until
it is assured that its intentions are honest and
peaceful, and until it is willing to put itself
on plane with the rest of the world. Presi-
dent Harding has already expressed views hos
tile to the establishment of foreign relations
under the circumstances with Russia, and be-
fore him President Wilson expressed emphatic
dissent. Russia must prove its right to rep
resentation among the free peoples of the
earth by convincing evidence that it is not sec
reilly carrying on insidious campaign
against other governments.

Meeting Death.

DR.. Edward X. Newton. Chicago physi-
clan, mixed glasses in his office and quenched
his thirst by drinking water containing BIZ
chloride of mercury Several hours later an
attack of nassau brought him to a realization
OF his mistake, and he hurried to hospital for
relief. A number of physicians fought for his
life, and DR.. Newton assisted them. But it
was soon seen that the battle was to be futile.
The dying man sent for his relatives and his
lawyer. He made all his plans for death. The
end came about the time he expected that it
would. Most of us would like, when death
actually confroats us and is not to be denied
to have DR.. Newton's opportunity to arrange
our affairs Unfortunately few are permitted
that privilege. That is why we are taught to
live in expectation of what may overtake us
any moment. The ant. crushed beneath our
heel on the sidewalk. is toiling as it dies, pre-
pairing for its earthly future to the last. But
that is because the ant has no conception of
what may happen to it after your heel has
killed it. Why be like the ant?

Dangerous Social PRESIDENTS.

Fannie Hurst. the magazine writer, and her
husband gained considerable notortety year
ago by declaring that they were enjoying the
same liberties since marriage that they in
dulged before they were wed; that they had
their friends of both sexes and came and went
as they pleased without consulting one an
others wishes. There would be days when
they would not meet. No explanations were
Offered or asked. And they claimed that they
were happy and satisfied. Now a pair of Chi
cago literary lights have come forward with
the same story. and they, too, have reaped
their need of publicity. The regretful feature
OF these cases is that too many persons take
them seriously. 1t is assumed when a man
and woman marry their course is prompted
by the divine law of love. Where love abides
u Is natural that man and wife should wish te
weld their lives that the attachment would
grow with the years. Marriage is prompted on
both sides by desire to realize 1ife's fullest
Joys. These include home, children, friends.

counter, these many seasons. III
stand behind anybody at candy
counter if he'll take the hint and
buy. But candor and the pressure
brought to bear on me by some in
fiuential and really good child spe-
cialists compel me to tell this I'M
pleasant truth here now. Too
much sugar by many millions OF
pounds is consumed annually in this
country.
Understand me, despite the the
cries of Harvard professors and
New York specialists, we have no
actual evidence that the excessive
consumption Of sugar or sweets by
children or adults Injuries the teeth
or causes digestive troubles.
An excessive amount of sugar in
any form. cane or any other kind
of sugar, taken in an artificial!y
concentrated state or in the origi-
nal, natural state, by child or adult.
tends to fix an excessive proper
ton of water in all the tissues Of
the body, muscle, bone, organs,
skin or blood, thus producing a
kind of water logged condition
which amounts to a general handi-
cap on health. 1t makes you f1abby.
1t keeps your blood weak 1t
makes you look somewhat pale or
pasty 1t makes you tire too easily.
Many a child suffers graVely in this
way and would be much benefited
by a reasonable temperance in the
consumption of sweets-not pro-
hibition or denial, just reasonable
temperance. The right time for
the sweets, whether they be cake,
cookies, candy, ice cream or what
not, is dessert time and not piec-
ing time or tween meals at any
old time.
Many an adult whose diet is too
liberal in all respects for an indi-
vidual Of his age, height and physi-
cal activity las is Enthusiastically
proved by over weighD will find
that by a conscientious and intelli-
gent restriction of all the carbo-
hydrates, and especially the sugar
containing items of his menu, not
only will his superfluous weight
diminish but his general efficiency

cause his water logged system
manages to rid itself of the excess
of water when he stores less sugar.

Pupil Nurses Pay.

Answer-All hospitals worth

care of all necessary expenses. AS
a matter of fact the better hospi-

nurses greater and greater induce
ments, because really desirable
young women hesitate, and rightly
! about giving up three years Of
time to study nursing and then
working at the hardest kind OF
work for a fee as low as $40 a
week. The high-brow stuff has
hurt the nursing profession. II
might be well for few of our

The Daily Short Story

If Jerry rebelled at this clause OF

to the watchful Shadrach.
But this morning, as he walked

was, it must be admitted, harbor-

hope that Miss Sally would be fry

had eaten a supper the like OF
