GETTING rHua COAL FACTS.

From such action as has been taken thus far by the fact finding commission named by the president to investigate the coal situation it doesn't appear that it isn't desirous of hearing any and all who are anxious to give it information, or some perhaps who are not anxious to divulge what they know about the coal industry. But it is nevertheless 8 time ly notification by the United States Chamber of Commerce to that commis- sion when, through it's president, It asks to be heard If there Is to be serl- ous consideration given to the question of naturalization of the coal mines.
 The fact finding commission is called upon for V preliminary report early in the new year. It has been given an inn portant task. It is made up of men who are able to handle such big prob lem expeditiously. But In digging into a matter which must of necessity DC viewed from so many angles and in ger- ting those facts which haven't been pre- viously obtained it means that for the purpose of the early report or recom- mendations it's first considerations are likely to be directed to matters of more pressing importance such as proVldng against the threatened prospects of the country being brought face to face with another coal shortage next summer.
 For this country to go into the busi- ness of owning or operating the coal mines would be a decidedly radical de- parture. It is known that there are those who advocate such a decided change, but it is also known what strong sentiment there is against any such idea.
 It was easy to get some idea of what might be expected of the naturalization of the coal mines from what happened when the government took over the rail- roads of the country during the period of the war. There was experience enough in that time with railroad oper- ation to show that the country wanted no more of it. and as the result thereof to plainly indicate that similar action regarding the coal mines would be equally undesirable. Thus it is but natural that the national business or Eanization should be anxious to be heard regarding such a proposition.

impressed at the power and grandeur of this wonder of nature as he is when he stands before a towering mountain, an immense iceberg, or fall of water such as Niagara. but when one remembers that the mighty torrent, speeding on hour by hotp and day by day in volume equal to all the largest rivers in the world combined, one begins to realize that of all the forces of the physical world none can etlial this one river of the ocean.
 Tt is interesting to note in the history of the Gulf Stream how great its infiu- ence has been on the fortunes of the New World. Before the discovery of America, strange woods and fruits were frequently found on the shores of Europe and off-lying islands. Some of these were seen and examined by Columbus, and to his thoughtful mind they were convincing evidence of the/ fact that strange lands were somewhere to the westward. These woods were carried by the Gulf Stream and by the prevailing winds from the American continent, 50 that in part, the stream is responsible for the discovery of the New World.
 "The influence of the Gulf Stream in the colonization of America was very great. The division of the English col

CITY STREETS.

Whatever the special committee, which has been named by the common counci Ito bring about departmental cooperation concerning the matter of digging up and replacing the city streets can accomplish will be in be- half of a much needed improvement With the idea of having the various de- partmentS regulated concerning the highway excavations must have appeal ed to most everyone who has witnessed the tearing up of certain streets repeat edly when it would seem that much work and expense might be avoided if such work was all done at one time.
 Where permanent improvements are made in streets efforts have been di- rected to this end with good results. It not only saves the expenses of repeated excavations but the repeated instances where unsatisfactory results have been obtained in putting back to the pave ment.
 Where streets are torn up and not put back in as good condition as they were found it not only means poor roadbed> but it depreciates just that much all improvements which had been made in the highway.
 If the council committee can devise some method that will meet require ments it will indicate progress in a much needed direction, and while it is at work upon the matter it is to be pre- sumed that it will give attention to the permanen pavemens and make it nee. essary for those who do break through them to replace them in kind or some. thing as good and not leave them filled with holes or depend upon cinders tc take the place of brick or cement,

THE POLITICAL PENDULUM.

That the political pendulum in Tues day's election swung back farther than indicated by the early returns is shown nent senators and candidates and the cutting down of the large republican majority that prevailed in the house of representatives. It is not impossible for this to be looked upon as the result of the unwieldy congress that the ad- ministration has been obliged to deal with, and the occasional indication that it was not disposed to abide by admin istration suggestions and policies. From all indications the voters have taken the opportunity of overcoming the situa- ton.
 Complete returns in this state indi- cate how strongly intrenched are the republicans and how thoroughly they are convinced of the importance to the commonwealth of continuing the ser vices of tried and true men, not only for national but for state office.
 It was a campaign in which differ ent issues prevailed in almost every state, where there were cross issues and in fact where candidates were opposed for reasons over which they had no con trol and were not responsible. It was reaction that gathered it's force from several directions and where voters manifested their opposition in some in- stances throughout the entire ticket, as in the case of New York state, but in others where the head of the ticket alone was selected for defeat either through the casting of votes or by re- maining away from the polls. Consider ing the vote of governor and senator the effect of such action is manifest in the marked difference in the total for the respective offices in Massachusetts
 It was an election in which no such republican majorities as were piled IF two years ago were expected. It was an off year when swing back nearer to normalcy was expected but the re. suits not only touched but went far be- yond that point to the gratifcation oi the democrats but there are reasons tc believe that it will also be to the en. lightenment of those who have beer disposed to run wild and give no con. sideration to administration control. The result of course carries it's warnins "a fact which cannot be disregarded.

The log fire sputtered wearily and died down. Shivering under the hastily drawn-up slumber robe, she huddled on the big couch witb burning cheeks and wide-open eyes. Her hands were clinched.
 The wind rose higher. It shrieked and boomed through the great trees with the roar of a distant waterfall, dying away in the distance with wall. Blackness velvety blackness in the room. And worse outside. It had been years since the sunlit afternoon and it would be centuries before day dawned.
