Coal Prices.

The District Public Utilities Com.
mission, in a report to the president
of the board Of District Commission
ers, says that it prevented the imposi-
ton of unduly high prices for coal
upon the people of the District last
winter, and that the only failure of
the commission to keep down prices
was in one or two instances, where
dealers refused to follow the advice
Of the federal fuel administrator and
purchased coal from high-price opera
tors. The people of the District be-
lieve that they were victims Of unduly
high coal prices last winter. Coal
miners say that prices were and are
unduly high. and coal operators admit
that prices were rather steep. 1t is be-
lieved that some dealers have con-
fessed that prices were high. Con-
sumers have no doubt that coal prices
were unduly high. and that they are
so now. The place where the blame
lies is in dispute and consumers have
not had much light on the subject
from official investigators. The dealer
says that he is making only q normal
and necessary profit. and that the
operators and the miners are the cul-.

there is confusion between learning

English poet. treated of this subject,
and in little poem he covered some
of the same ground covered by genial
Tom Marshall but in a slightly diff

Wisdom in minds attentive to their

Knowledge rude. Improbable mass,

knowledge is proud that he has

A biographer of Cowper. in discus

Russian Justice. :"

Justification is the plea of the Rus
the prosecution of the prelates of the
church. With reference to the case of
DR.. Tikhon, the former patriarch of all
Russia. who is to be placed on trial
next Monday, Commssar of Justice
kursky has issued an official state
ment setting forth the legal position
of the church in soviet Russia and
the law of the land, which. it is as
serted. the ex-patriarch has violated
by his intrigues for the subversion of
the government.
According to this statement Of Kur-
sky's, which will be read with keener
interest because of the universal pro-
test expressed outside of Russia
Butchavitch, the decree of separation
of church and state issued in 1918
covered four principles: First, every
citizen might profess any religion or
none at all: second. when the carrying
out of religious rites does not inter
fere with public order and the rights
of citizens. free performance of them
is guaranteed; third, no church So
ciety has the right to own property;
fourth, all property belonging to
church societies in Russia is declared
to be national property, but buildings
and articles of service are handed
over to religious societies for free
use
Apparently the inconsistency of this
so-called separation" does not occur
to the official soviet mind 1t consists
Of the coniiscation of all church prop

As for the case of ex-Patriarch I'll
khon the commissar of justice makes
an undeniably strong showing of pre-
sumptive guilt. if it is a crime-which
undeniably it is in the eyes of the
coumissar at Moscow-for a Russian
prelate to resist .confiscation and to
seek for the restoration of another
regime. new or old.
In the light Of the hideous travesty
upon Justice recently enacted at Mos
cow in the trials of the prelates con-
demned to death, it is easy to foresee
the happenings soon to come in the
trial Of Tikhon. Indeed. the commits
sar of justice practically outlines the
case for the prosecution, and in terms
of Russian Justice" that means con

evoked will have any effect upon the
Judgment of the court as to penalty

protests will be unavailing in this, as

The Potato Pool.

The latest step in the direction of
cooperative marketing of farm prod
ucts is seen in the announced success
of u plan to pool the potato crop of
Maine. and ultimately to take in the
potato growers Of ten other states, in
Guiding Virginia. 50 as to control the
$50, 900 000-bushel potato crop of the
nation. There is comfort for the con-
sumner in the statement Of Aaron Sa-
piro, leader in the undertaking and the
organizer of the California Fruit EN-
change, that the effort to stabilize
prices for the benefit of the potato
growers is not necessarily to be at the
expense Of the consumer. 1t is aimed
at elimination or restriction of specu-
lators and middlemen.
Sixty per cent of the farmers in
Maine who grow potatoes have agreed
to send all their crop to the ware
houses Of the association for sale by
it. Headquarters, it is explained, will
seek the most desirable markets and
where the best prices can be obtained.
When all the potato-growing states
are linked up in the cooperative plan
a central body will direct the sales
policy, the details of marketing, regu-
late the flow Of potatoes to market
and designate the markets to which
they are to go and generally control
the distribution so as to equalize
prices and conditions everywhere as
a protection to the farmer
Elimination Of the Spectator is
bound to benefit the consumer as well
as the producer, for both classes suf-
fer when a food product falls into con-
troll of the price manipulation. Co.
operative marketing is Endorsed by
some of the most noted economists of
the country. Now that the lowly but
necessary potato bids fair to come un-

prits. The operator says he has had
nothing to do with boosting prices,
and that if extortion has been prac-
ticed on the public the miners are to
blame. The coal miner says that his
hands and face are Clean" and that
the operators, the railroads and the re-
tail dealers are the boosters. Perhaps
at some time the government may get
the facts, discipline or reform the coal
profiteers, set the coal trade on a law
abiding basis and give protection to
consumers. 1t is quite within reason
to believe that the District Public
Utilities Commission has served the
public well, and that it saved us from
much more extortionate coal prices
than we We're called on to pay last
winter. But for the commission no
one can tell to what length the coal
profiteers might have gone.

Memorial Day Origin.

Other oities in other southern

The British Ministry.

A change in the British ministry is
believed to be impending. despite the
positive statement issued from No. 10
Downing street that 1.-The prime minis
Ger has no intentions whatever of re-
signing" 1t seems to be at least
politely accepted in London that An
drew Bonar Laws tenure of office de-
ponds upon his health. The official
denial of intention to resign is predi-
Gated upon the supposition that the
Illness of the premier is of a tempo
rary nature. But some doubts have
been expressed frankly regarding the
chief minister's indisposition. The
. London Times declares that Mr.. Bonar
Law was playing tennis on Saturday,
an occupation hardly compatible with
q physical state so grave as to involve
the chance of resignation.
The truth probably is that move
ment is in progress to find "a substi-
tute, to effect a combination Of parlia-
mentary forces that will support a
new premier. Several names have been
advanced, including those of Stanley
Baldwin, present chancellor of the ex-
chequer; Austin Chamberlain and Lord
Curzon. Each of these suggestions has
started reaction. Against Baldwin
there is a feeling that he is RESPONSE
BILE for the present difficult situation in
the commons, where, in consequence
of his rather tactlesS handling of the
labor demand for an inquiry into the
condition Of the eX-service men, he
brought about an adverse vote, put
ting the ministry on the defensive.
Austin Chamberlain name does not
awaken any strong support. Lord
Curzon would seem to be the most
logical man. He has prestige. He has
d record of achievement, and he is
known to be of the premier quality.
The question in his case is whether he

somewhat loosely united ma jority. He
has always had a distaste for practical
politics.
4 change of premiers would involve
the FEASIBILITY, though not the GER
tainty IF a general election. In case
of Andrew Bonar Laws resignation
the king could summon his successor
Ia reorganize. but unless he went to
Downing street with an assured sup
port in commons he would be under
the compulsion Of an early appeal to
the country" involving the chance of
an adverse vote.
In all these speculalions there is one
factor that gives concern to the con-
Servative party of England, and that
is the former premier, David Lloyd
George. Those who accepted the re-
suit of the late election as meaning
the definite retirement Of the Welsh
man from the ministerial situation
have had occasion to revise their iudg-
ment. He has not, it is true, partici-
pated in any of the maneuvers since
the reassembling of parliament. but
his figure looms i'm the background
and it would be q grave mistake TO
reckon upon him as definitely elm
