CENTIMENT in business circles
y is much more cheerful than
at any time last year, and this
is especially noteworthy through
out the agricultural districts. Al
though price conditions are re-
garded as yet far from satisfactory,
and many people still have keen
realization of the losses they have
suffered, the country has generally
recovered its poise, and is ready to
face the future with courage and
confidence.
Building operations are on a
larger scale than year ago, and
sufficient to employ fairly well the
workers in the building trades and
building material industries. The
automobile industry is much more
active than year ago, and con-
tracts for railroad equipment are
on larger scale than at any time
since the war. The effect of ac-
tivity in these several lines has
given pronounced stimulus to the
iron and steel industry.
For the first two months of the
present year, operating revenues OF
the POI Class | railroads total $780,
823,SS9, showing a decrease from
the like period in 1921 of $80,334,3Sl.
Operating expenses, on the other
hand, amounted to $662. los, 068,
were $l64,947,673 less. Notwith-
standing the heavy falling off in
gross, therefore, net operating rev.
enues of Sl34,71S,82l were $S4,613,-
292 greater, and net operating in
come was $77,304,711, instead of a
deficit OF $3,626,343 for the first
two months of 1921.
Coal Strike
The nationwide coal strike has
been in effect one month, during
which time production from nom
union mines has been equal to about
one-third the total normal produce
ton. AS yet accumulated stocks
have been sufficient to prevent
serious interference with industry
or any considerable advance of
prices, but If the shutdown shall
last another month the influence
probably will be more apparent.
The situation presented by the
coal industry is a very complicated
one. The United States Geological
Survey said of it:
The bituminous coal mines Of the United
States have a developed capacity and a
present labor force far in excess of that
required to supply the demand. In con-
sequence the capital and labor engaged in
the industry arc idle large part OF the
time. During the last thirty wears the
mines have been idle an average Of 81
working days in every calendar year.
There is no material disagree
ment about the main facts OF the
coal industry, and the situation is
so simple that it seems strange that
so little is said of the remedy that
is within the reach of the miners
themselves. Since too many work
err: are seeking employment in the
industry, some of them should leave
It and find employment elsewhere
1t then would be necessary to give
regular and approximately full EN-.
ployment for the remainder in order
to get out the required supply of
coal. The consumers of coal would

bankers regarding the Hankow- SEE
Chuen railway loan in which the So
called six-powers roup was interest
ed. In 1915 he was one of the negotia-
tors of the $500, 100000 American loan
to the allies. For his war work
abroad he was honored by many gov
ernments and Columbia and other I'M
iversities conferred upon him the
honorary degree of doctor of laws.
Planned Campaign for Children
Mr.. Dawson was especially inter-
ested in the conservation of child life
in Europe after the war and, with
Herbert Hoover and others, planned a
world wide campaign in behalf of the
children abroad. lie also directed
Red Cross relief work in Russia. Po-
land and other countries in eastern
and central Europe. Shortly after
his return from Paris in April. 1920,
he emphasized the gravity of condi-
tions abroad and suggested that Con-
gress appropriate s500,00O,0OO for Eu-
ropean relief. Congress. however
was cold to his appeal.
In 1919, he was one of the advisers
of President Wilson at the Paris
peace conference. That same year,
when the war councils work had
ended, he was elected chairman of
the governing board of the World
League of Red Cross Societies at its
meeting in Paris.
The New York career Of the man
who was to figure so prominently in
its financial district began in 1883
when young Dawson, then 81 years
old, went to that city from Troy, Ia,
where he was born on June 13, 1867.
Unable to find a position in New
York, he went to Bridgeport. CT.
where he started work as n bank
messenger. Three years later he was
back in the city of his dreams and
was made paying teller of the Astor
Place bank.
One day a stranger came TO Mr..
Davison's window with q note for
$1,000 in one hand and revolver in
the other. The note read:
"Astor Place Bank. They promise
to pay to the order of Almighty God
the sum OF $1,000 when prensented by
Charles Freeman. Penalty If for
feited, death"
Detectives Seize Intruder
Mr.. Dawson, smiling and imper-
turbalc. calmly remarked: You will
have to be identified"

OF late a new phrase has come
into circulation, 10 the effect that
there must bc not only a living
wage" but saving wage" Tn
fortunately. the people who use IT
usually are thinking OF nothing brit
an increase OF money wages. which
means that wages and the cost OF
living will go up together. leaving
the worker no better of than the
donkey that follows all day Tire
wisp OF lrly hung just ahead Of his
nose.
1t is time practical men learned
that there is no progress by simply
lacking up industrial costs, which
carry the cost Of living with them.
The only broadly distributed gains
that ever have come 10 the masses
of the people have come by the inn
provemcnts in industry that have
cheapcned and increased produc-
ton. Such improvements arc beng
made all the time. and the oppot-
tunities for them arc lmitlcss. The
engineers say that the industrial
output might be increased from 40
to 100 per cent il industrial friction
could be reduced and the best
methods now known generally
adopted. That would make il pos
stble Tor wagc-carncrs 10 have the
wartime moncy-wagcs and AZ the
same time give each dollar the pre-
war purchasing power. That woull
be genuine progress.
Foreign Loans
In view of the number Of foreign
loans granted in this country lately
there is a revival OF the argument
that foreign loans in the United
States should be accompanied by an
agreement that the proceeds will be
expended in this country.
In the situation of the United
States al the present time the first
appropriate comment is that such a
regulation would be wholly I'm.
necessary TO secure the purpose in
view, as present exchange rates
virtually give assurance that any
credits IN this country will be cx-
pended here. So long as exchange
on the United States is n a premium
e.e,yWhere, nobody is going 10
withdraw funds from the United
states. To do so would be an &C.
OF business folly. If the borrower
does not want to use the funds for
purchases here on his own account
he can sell them at a premium TO
somebody who does want 10 use
them y n here. The premium is proof

NEAR EAST RELIEF

Both the American and Canadian
governments have been asked to
provide a refuge for five thousand
children without a country" &C
cording to an announcement of
Chas. v. Vickrey, General Secretary
of the Near East Relief.
These youngsters, whose evacua-
ton from Near East Relief orphan
ages in the Asiatic districts of Con-
stantinople because of the military
situation, was announced last week,
are now being cared for temporarily
in relief orphanages on the Euro
pean side, which are dangerously
overcrowded, according to Mr.. Wick
rey, who said that relief officials
overseas have been unable to secure
other quarters.

nounced that the steamship "Orient"
carrying two thousand tons of flour
purchased by the-Near East Relief
from the American Relief Admins
tration several days ago, just after
the steamer had passed Gibraltar
will discharge this food at Piraeus
to feed refugees from the Smyrna

nearby points, including the island

NO FORGETTING POLITICS

Observers generally agree that
partisan politics is undergoing a
gradual transition in this country
and that the average voter is wear
ing the party ties more loosely than
ever before, resulting in the con-
tinued growth of the independent
movement. There are few, how
ever, that would venture to predict
the obligation of party ties in Ken
lucky, where politics long has been
regarded as an institution.
Although conditions are different
from the time of the late Col. Robt.
G. Ingersoll, the noted agnostic, who
once declared that he would be-
lieve in the existence of hell when
ever Kentucky went Republican, u
and never recanted when the State
elected a Republican Governor in
1895, Kentucky has gone one way
and another until it is recognized as
a debatable State. Every third
party has found a foothold in Ken.
lucky, and the effect has been tt
stir up rather than allay PARTISAN
ship.
With two elections every year, pol
itics in Kentucky is just one thing
after another. This is regarded
more than anything else as fostering
partisan feeling in this State. Be
fore one campaign is over another il
on the way, and the people have M
chance to forget politics for even /;
limited time. .,.
