In the Wake of the News
PREUs FOR PUBLIC MINES

/
Unqualified demand for government
ownership of coal mines by Governor
Preus of Minnesota, is one of the most
surprising events of the week. In
| 1920 his chief claim to election was
that che would save the state from
socialism" And his opponents were
denounced in hard language primarily
because they advocated some forms of
public ownership. He talked Of these
| things as producing free love and boil
shevism. Now he says:
Il am convinced that the. only solu-
| ton of the coal problem is govern
ment ownership and operation of the
mines.
eve have reached critical period
in Minnesota and the Northwest. J
am in Washington to tell the au-
thorities that our coal supply is at
an end, that thousands of our people
will suffer unless we obtain relief.
Some people fail to realize how rap
idly our coal resources have been de-
pleted. [ have put Minnesota's case
sqrarely before the committee of the
chamber of commerce, and demanded
priority for our section of the coun-
try w.,
''The coal industry" Governor Pre-
us said, ''is too vital to the life of the
nation to be subjected to breakdown
at any time because operators and
miners cannot agree on their rela-
tons. That is why we have got to
have government control"
Having Saved the state from So
cialism' the governor evidently turns
to socialism now to save himself.

PALMER'S DEFENSE.

Francis P. Garvan was one of A
Mitchell Palmer's chief aids in taking
care Of alien property. This care il
appears involved selling 4,7O0 German
owned patents worth $10,OO0,OOO, to a
group of five American patriots head
ed by Garvan for S250,OO0.
President Harding has ordered an
investigation Of the affair in which
he said:
'The circumstances relating to the
entire transaction are of such char
acter that full Investigations becomes
a public duty
Whereupon the patriot A. Mitchell
Palmer, Infamous for his suppression
of free speech as well as his handling
of alien property, replied: "The
presidents action was the greatest
victory Germany has won since Perish
ing turned back her legions at Chateau
Thierry."
The care Of alien property until
peace is declared is a sacred trust to
which the alien property custodian is
committed by law the law of the
United States as well as the laws of
nations.
We Americans would hardly be
proud in years to come of allowing a
few patrioteers to rob private alien
citizens of their property.

Why Called "CardinaI Virtues"

The chief virtues Of the ancients as
far back as Socrates were justice, pru-
dence, temperance and fortitude.
They were called cardinal virtues
because all other human virtues de
pended upon their existence-turned
or hinged on them. The word cardi-
nal from the Latin "cardo," means a
hinge.
Such an enumeration, however, liz
by no means exhaustive. It has often
been pointed out that the list omits
entirely the fundamental virtue OF
benevolence. Conscientiousness, cour-
age, modesty, sympathy and reverence
are other cardinal virtues, but not con-
tanned in the original roster.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

RELEASE OF
PRISONERS APO
LITICAlLL. ISSUE
BABIES AND WIDOWS OF MEN
IN PRISON FOR POLITICAL
OPINION" Will CAMPAIGN
AGAINST THE TY2ANTS.

New tactics, Designed to appeal ID
thos2 Ct the Presidents political adj
vis0rs who have recommended again Il
the granting Of amnesty to wartime
prisoners, have been d iorred by the
Chilslren's Crusade.
The latest banner carried to the
White HOUSE gates by the CRUSADER
reads:
"Mr. President: How about the pri-
mary elections?
BEVERIDGE
PINCHOT
BROOKHART?
THE voters demand liberal meas
ures!
''Why not release the political
prisoners ?"
On the day this banner was first
displayed, it was announced DIV The
leaders Of the Crusade that amnesty
for political prisoners would be made
an issue in the coming political cam
paign.
The Crusaders have been encour-
aged by the results Of the primary
elections in Indiana, Pennsylvania and
Ioya to believe that liberal voters
will have a great influence upon The
results in the coming election and
that amnesty can be made an issue
that will swing thousands OF votes.
AS the election draws near certain
of the wives of political prisoners
will be detached from the picket squad
III Washington and sent into districts
where the parties are fairy evenly
matched to campaign against the Cali
d:Gates of the party responsible for
keeping their husbands in jail.
The thirty-six Republican, members
of the House who joined with fifteen
Democrats in an appeal TO the Presi-
dent to release all political prisoners
will not be opposed in their campaigns
for reelection by the Crusaders.
The reception accorded to The Cru
saders in every city on their way to
Washington, and the expressions Of
public indignation that came from
every quarter when the President re
fused to receive them, convince the
leaders of the Crusade that the gen
eral public is ready to listen to their
appeal, if the party in power is not,
and to vote accordingly.
1t has been indicated that the first
political effort of the Crusaders will
be made in the primary campaign in
New Jersey, where Senator Freling-
huysen, a close personal friend of
the President and an opponent of am
nesty for political prisoners, is run
ming for the Republican senatorial
nomination.

Why Piano Should Be Kept Tuned.

Pianists insist on having their piano
tuned before performance. This is
necessary to insure perfect tone. 1t is
agreed that, In order to obtain salts
factory results and at the same time
preserve the tone quality and keep
the action in perfect working order,
1t is necessary to have the home piano
tuned at least twice year.. Pianos
receiving such attention are always In
fairly good condition, while those re-
ceiving irregular attention are never
In condition, All other stringed instru-
ments require more or less tuning
every time they are used, then why
should a piano be neglected?

Do We Need Ships?

In the noise about the ship subsidy
the question as to why America
should have a merchant marine gets
almost no attention. Not even two
good arguments have been raised for
it. There is the military one that
it would be useful in training officers
and in transporting troops in time of
war. Most of us want check rein on
war and SO we are not convinced.
The other argument is that Ameri-
can ships would drum up trade in for
eign ports fol- our exporters. Here it
occurs to us that it would be cheaper
to hire corps of drummers express
~ for such work.
There is some talk too about reduc-
ing rates on the ocean. President
Howard of the American Farm Bu-
reau uses this as bait for farmers.
But obviously privately owned ship
ping will not do this subsidy or no
subsidy. It is to the interest of
American ship companies to agree to
the schedules of rates set by the Brit
ish freight combine. The object of
running ships is to make profits for
the owners and not welfare of the
country Sentimentalism does not pay
dividends.
The only way by which competition
With the ocean freight monopoly could
be brought about is by government
operation of ships at cost. AS soon as
the ships are sold not even American
ownership can be assured. Sale i'm
plies the right of resale.
If welfare of the farmers played a
leading part in the administration the
shipping board would have so operat-
ed many Of the ships we now own.
Instead the shipping board declares
gleefully that the government has lost
$50,O00,000 by operating ships this
last year-which is a false statement.
It operates only two small lines-the
Panama Steamship company and the
United States line, both of which
have been doing we'll. Most of the
ships on which such fine, gratifying
losses are shown are in the hands
now of private operators already
subsidized by the grace and neglect of
duty of the shipping board.

Because the letter "R" represents the

Gratifying Losses.

The evident pleasure with which
chairman Lasker of the federal ship
ping board announces loss of $780,
100000 reminds us of a phase of pub
lie life which has become common
since the war.
We entered into a lot of public
ownership at that time to get a little
war work done or as some would say
to save our necks from the Kaiser.
It raised a tremendous issue. People
would ask: eff public ownership is so
0bad, wasteful, un-American why was
it used for war effciency?" The thing
had to be stopped before too many
began to think on the question.
SO we have had season wherein
machine politicians brag of the alleg-
ed bad work they have done. They
boast of losses and urges that they
are too corrupt, dishonest, and ineff-
Gent to do anything, except make
laws, appoint postmasters, and draw
their salaries and expenses.
A chief legal counsel to the federal
government volunteered in court that
of course the government had smash
ed up the railroads during the war.
This was not true, fact which makes
even worse this turning of an attor-
ney against his client to whom the
railroads were presenting extravagant
claims.
Government experts who should BE
for the people, work hard to show
losses. Anything from allowing pri-
vate persons to steal to plain lying
appears to be in order.
We note curious expression of the
same thing in a recent interview by
the present director of the bank in
North Dakota. The state departments
were calling for funds received at tax

The matter Of principle involved
tho different ideas OF the manager
and the plano player on the ques-

The new pianist submitted o bill

the ivories and when his envelope
arrived 1t contained only fifty-fivc
berries.
The orchestra served notice. The
manager got an Injunction. Then
he gave the orchestra two weeks
notice. They had the injunction
vacated. Then the manager sour
ried up the free lance talent.
The matter came to q head be.
for Justice Morschauser this after.
noon. Counsel for the musicians
union told the court:

ter Of principle. II he does not
pay there will be no music today"
PAY the money" said Justice
Morschauser. "These men have q
right to quit II they want to-"
But the manager stood pat and
sent out an 8 o 8 or whaever It ID

Before the curtain went up there
