WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT

"Perhaps il we preach the Golden
Eule long enough. here and there
man NAV he found who will catch the
vision of it as the perfect democracy
and will begin to live it." So says
ex-vice President Marshall now OF
the new Federal Coal Commission.
While we are catching the vision
OF it perhaps the coal commission
and other commissioning they are
sufficiently abundant and there need
bs no apprehension on that score
may bring about conditions such that
We will venture TO follow it.
Pope's line: "And all our knowl-
edge is ourselves to know" should. to
fit into the time when the Golden
Rule is TO be commonly practised, be
extended to knowing about others,
Crmprohending their real purposes
t!.cir obstacles which they try to
overcome and all that. In such fash
lion might come sympathy which
would make the adoption Of the
Golden Eule an easier undertaking.
Now if the Coal Commission can
obtain all the facts pertaining to this
subject of getting the coal from the
mine to the consumer and those facts
shall show that all parties to that
transaction wish to be fair and are
seeking no more than their fair share
OF the advantage it will contribute
much to the knowledge of all, and so
indirectly to the observance of the
Golden Rule. 1t is possible we have
been reasonably applying that rule
tc the present situation. only no one
knows it. Such a discovery in the
picsent state of mind and general
lack of knowledge would indeed be a
blessing.
But facts are essential. We should
know about the effort necessary
also about any waste effort which is
unnc the intermedi-
aries and whether they are essential
TO proper distribution of the ma
tons fuel. If they are not we want
to know how to get rid of them. 1t
Is the commissions job to get those
facts. The preaching can we'll come
later. With the facts before US we
viii be more attentive to the preach
er What we now want is those facts
presented in such shape that we may
understand and have confidence in
them.

WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE?

President Harding evidently in
tends that Congress shall take the
responsibility for disposing of the
ship subsidy bill. One may infer
that he considers it a much too good
measure to kill on his own response
bility, if it must be killed.
His conclusion does him credit.
II is his duty to make opportunity
ir so far as possible for having the
light thing done. None of those op-
posed to the measure have advanced
a cosent reason for their objection
They will have an opportunity now
to do so, and ultimately will be
judged thereon.
If at the time of the war we had
had the ships which our commerce
needed, if we had had that which the
President now is striving to secure, a
suitable merchant marine, secure it
in the only possible way that may be
done, we would not have thrown
away SO many of our millions in the
skipyards during the war.
LaFollette, who succeeded in put
ting through the Seaman's Act is not
willing to follow with support Of
law which will enable owners to
operate ships under that act. Moth
ing else need be expected Of La
Toilette, but fairer mind should be
expected of people generally. those
who wish to be just and reasonable,
those who believe America should
lave a merchant marine, those who
know that sea-goins carriers under
our flag would be an advantage to
those who have foodstuffs or manu-
featured goods to export; those who
realize that our policy of protection
should extend to ship owners as well
os to others. Countries which do
not protect their industries as rule
have no hesitancy in aiding their
merchant marine.

the effete East at that time was sup

East should wish to exert a certain

These are busy days on the Ken

now making up for the time that she
was idle during the coal strike. She
towed to the Flats Monday afternoon
the barge that discharged nearly 1900
tons of Old Company's Lehigh at the
yard of the Gibbons Coal Co., and
Tuesday morning started for Rich
mond towing up barge Glendower
from Philadelphia with ITO tons of
anthracite, 566 tons for f. w. Bull
lock and 544 tons for H. L. Tarr.
She continued to Gardiner to bring
down No. 7S5 to the Flats to await a
tow to a coal port.
After an absence from Bath of
nearly 25 years, Rev. A. F. Dunnels
has returned to Maine to assume the
pastorate of a little church at South
Bristol in which he preached his first
sermon Sunday. His decision to re-
sign from the pastorate of the Elm
wood Presbyterian church at East
Orange n. j., where he had carried
on a successful pastorate the last
eight years, came as distinct shock
to his large congregation and many
and varied were the efforts put forth
to dissuade him from his decision.
But they were of no avail and two
weeks ago Sunday his church was
filled to capacity when he preached
his farewell.
