THE ORIGINAL REALTOR
Notary in Thehes Entered Into Agree. ment For Sale of House e,2s0 Years Ago. Papyri shows.

Philadelphia. June S,-A notary's agreement for the sale of a city House 2.2sn years ago has been discovered in the University of Pennsylvania mn- scum on a strip Of pspyri brought there recently from Thebes, Egypt. and translated by Dr. Nathaniel Reich.
 In the agreement. Petesehe. the no- tary. took great pains to locate the building in question so that there would be no possibility of litigation.
 The agreement shows legal docu- ments were dated in the reign Of the assassinated son of Alexander the Great long after tho young rulers death. Apparently Peteche. the mo- tary. had received no official confir- nation of the young kings death and therefore dated his agreement Tn the month Of tybi of the tenth year of Pharaoh Alexander, son of Alexand- er."

COAL ADVICE.

Attention is called to the advice Of the Federal Fuel Distributor at Washington. that winter stocks Of coal should be stored hy September at the latest. whether for industrial or domestic use He bases this ad- vice on the possibility Of trouble in the coal industry next winter; the fear that the railroads will not he able 10 handle the coal demanded in the fall months, and the probability that no results will come, by that time. Of the work of the United States coal commission in an attempt 10 lower prices, It Is said also that the Department Of Commerce. the Chamber of Commerce and the Asso- citation of Railroad Executives have already given the same advice-to get in coal supplies before September,
 Probably this will seem like good advice to conservative. careful people. and probably 1t is ''safe" advice. It is here emphasized that point may be made of the opinion of such an authority as the Fuel Distributor. Probably no one would make a seri- ous mistake by following such ad- vice.
 But this newspaper, some weeks ago, summarized in these columns, the findings of one who philosophical in practical manner on the coal situation, and came to the definite conclusion that in all probability, coal would be cheaper this coming win ter than it was last. This deduction was based on the belief that both the miners and the operators of coal mines are now afraid to stop the mining of coal because of differences that would lead to great strike. Ii is also believed that much coal has been mined since the termination of the trouble of last winter; that the railroads are fast getting into shape to carry more coal, and that the gen. eral conditions indicate less rather than more trouble than in the past.
 Moreover the imminence of the re- port of the United States Coal Com mission will tend to make operators and miners behave" They will have no desire to bring about shortage Immediately before such report, which shortage, should 1t come, would likely make such report more severe. The operators, especially dc not want too much interference with the industry they have conducted sc profitably. They will hope that al the time the report is made, things will be rather less unsatisfactory than they have been in order that the commission may not have to bring in a report which Is calculated to meet terrible conditions.
 Getting ones coal in by September is the safe course. Those who care to take a chance" may find cheaper coal this winter.

WHY IS OUR COUNTRY GREAT7

No one will dispute that our coun- try is a great country. It has be- come great because here. more than in any land. liberty, freedom and in- itiative in developing our natural re- sources has been encouraged. There is absolutely no limit to the height to which an American may rise.
 Anything that destroys that liberty that freedom, other than the laws against the doing of anything inher- ently wrong, tends to take away one or more of the characteristics which have entered into the development Of this country and its people. Discus sions of any law, of any action which consider only the immediate inspiration of the law or the action, and fall to consider in what direction such law, such action Is leading, are puerile discussions. All law. all ac- tion in order to help maintain our national ruggedness should have, as the inspiring motive, wise deter mination to add to the soul-power or this country and it's people--to make them strong of character as our fore- fathers were strong, determined. And their determination extended into the field of law-obedience. They did not break the law; yet the longing for freedom brought them here. They did not break the law. because the law did not take from them the right to live and grow strong as they believed they had a right to live, to grow strong. They were severe Tn their demands of those over whom they had jurisdiction, but they would have resented the states attempting to take from them their personal power, much as a father becomes angered when another attempts to -exert authority over his offspring.
 There is a distressing social phase to the liquor question:; well may it be studied seriously, conscientiously In order to find the best means of han ding it. Human wisdom Is unable to say regarding it: This is so-this is the wise way" There is a political aspect to it. politicians differ as to the effect Governor Smiths action will have on his future in politics.
 But there is a legal aspect to it. and it may be declared with a fair degree of certainty in the justice of the declaration, that there is the spirit of justice in abolishing situa- ton which allows a man to remain in danger of a second prosecution for an alleged crime of which he has been cleared, or which may make him nav two penalties for the same of- fense. And there may be a convic- ton of right in the belief that the strong, rugged character of the states and their sense of responsibility will not be lessened by the refusal of New York state and its executive to hear cases of alleged crime for breaking a law passed by congress.
 The New Haven Journal-Courier, in an editorial on the subject. quotes 2 sentence in Governor Smiths state ment with which that newspaper agrees. Whether or not Governor smith was moved primarily by the thought it contains. we believe that the result he predicts will follow his signing of the act repeating the Null lan-Gage law. He says:
