PENNSYLVANIA PROTECTED

So the coal strike is settled. The
miner is to get ten per cent in
crease in wages, which will add
around s32, 100000 to the cost of an
thracite, though he was getting good
wages before, and there was no
scarcity Of men willing to work at
mining, and he was able to live If
he did not work all the time. In no
sense of the word are the miners of
anthracite downtrodden, nor were
they before this increase. The opera
tor Is to get whatever he can make
the consumer pay. The Girard estate
will continue to receive s1.27 per ton
royalty on coal taken out of it's coal
lands; up to 1918 it was content with
a royalty of 81 cents. Some collect
a royalty of $3.50 per ton. They are
expected to go on collecting it mer-
rily and we who burn anthracite may
expect to pay it indirectly. We can
stop, however, any time we are mind
ed to fit up our heating apparatus for
burning soft coal.
Moreover the state of Pennsylvania
will go happily on collecting an an
nual export tax Of between seven and
eight million dollars on anthracite
shipped out Of that state, the amount
now being collected. That too we
must pay, we who feel that the best
is none too good for us and continue
to burn the aristocratic fuel known
as anthracite, mined by two monopo-
lies, miners and operators, taxed by
another monopoly. the State Of Penn
sylvania, and handled in between, by
the Lord only knows how many mon
opolies. If we insist on burning an
thracite these we must pay, unless
we find a way for the Federal govern
ment to step in and see that we get
this aristocratic fuel at lower price.
Imagine Uncle Sam doing that Job
successfully, and If he could do It,
think Of the clamor that would go up
from all who want what they want
when they want it, insisting that he
also get it for them-at cost!
Governor Pinchot undertook to help
bring about an end of the strike. He
did not undertake to help out the
consumer in the matter Of price. re-
duce royalties, or export taxes-and
he hasn't; they are right where he
found them. Presumably we should
be grateful to him for saving us the
bother and dirt from trying to burn
soft coal about which we do not seem
to know as much as it would be prof.
itble for us to know.
The strike occurring in Governor
Pinchot's state and the Federal laws
not providing ways for dealing with
it, the matter was properly referred
to, the Governor by the President. The
Governor has been instrumental In
having mining resumed and the
Pennsylvania interests protected and
now passes the matter back with the
suggestion that the increased cost be
taken out Of middlemen and trans
portation agencies outside the State
of Pennsylvania, but it is noticeable
he does not suggest how this may be
done.

The Man Who Came Back

AS man may do, he had built his
world
In the sweat of two score years: -.
And as fate ordained, in a breath II
was hurled
To rubble about his ears.
I watched him rise. shake off dismay
AS one might a ruSted fetter;
And under his breath I heard him say,
Next time I'll build it better!'
His eyes were grim and his jaw was
In manner that BODIED trouble;
1t isn't the easiest sort of bet
To build up your life from rubble.
But he asked no favors, sought no
odds;
His grin was the best of answers
To all of the little malignant gods:
Now beat me again if you can.
sirs!"
And slowly. out Of the dust there
A goodlier, broader plan.
Though the old foundation remained
the same
The granite soul of a man.
And somehow the little devils OF woe
Harried his heels no longer:
There's little fun in knockout blow
IL it leaves your foe the stronger!
For oak and cypress and pine decay.
And iron dissolves in rust;
But a stalwart heart goes on its way
Though the world be ashes and dust.
And wealth more precious than lands
or cash
Is the grit Of the iron-willed
Who can say: I'm glad that my world
went smash,
For it taught me how to build"

PONCE DE LEON TO REVISIT
 FLORIDA

ST. AUGUSTINE, Jan. 18.-Juan Ponce, Knight of Leon, who on Easter Day, 1512, reached the coast of Florida near the present site of St. Augustine, in search of the fabled Fountain of Youth, will return to the Land of Flowers.
 The oldest city in the United States is planning beautiful his- torical pageant in period costumes. It will open on April 4 with the landing of Ponce de Leon and his retnue of Spanish adventurers from an ancient caravel, while from the beach the Indians marvel at the white.winged bird which has brought these strange gods across the waters.
 Arrangements have been completed to present historically accurate three-day pageant in period costumes of the Spanish, French and British soldiery of the sixteenth and sev- enteenth centures.
 colorfuI Pageant
 Flags, helmets, bikes, broadswords, Spanish capes and feathered hats, bandeaux and mintillas, costumes of silks, and faces, representations of Indian garb have all been specially designed. Thousands of dollars have been expended in careful costuming and for other equipment, including the ancient caravel from which Ponce de Leon and his retinue will land on the first day of the celebration. Special songs about St. Augustine and Ponce de Leon have been con- posed. Dr. Andrew Anderson is pre- pairing for the erection of mas- sive statue in one of the city parks. It will be cast after the statue of Ponce de Leon in Porto Rico, where the remains of the famous explorer lie, and will be dedicated on the opening of the celebration.
 The French, Spanish, English sol diery and the cavalry companies, also the Indians, mounted and unmounted, will be provided by various local organization of St. Augustine. In fact, every man, woman and child in St. Augustine is taking some part in the preparations for the celebration.
 Music will be provided by four bands. Cadets from the State Uni versity and troopers will take part in the celebration.
 Three-Day Celebration
 Next April 4 will be Ponce de Leon Day, depicting the landing of Ponce de Leon on the shores of Florida, the Indian battles and the subjugation of the Great 1ncohonee, or chief. April will be Menendez Day, commemorating the founding of St. Augustine by Pedro Menendez de Aviles on September 8, 1865. Ap- Til will witness the celebration, Under Four Flags"-Spanish, French and English-and the final transfer of sovereignty to the United States, when the Stars and Stripes were raised on Fort Marion on February 19, 1921.
 Yacht and motor boat races and athletic contests will vary the pro- gram.
 A large part of the historical eel ebration will be staged about grim old Fort Marion, which was com- menced in 1888 and completed in 1756.
 St. Augustine was sacked by Sir Francis Drake in 1886, and at varoius periods in it's colorful history it re- passed between English and Spanish sovereignty.

.Neus Letter
 From SeUttttle

SEATTLE, Jan. 18.-An appeal for Seattle people to protect Alaska from "a horde of wildcatters who will get into the stock selling game as soon as the Standard Oil and well financed companies bring in oil in Alaska" was made by Capt J. F. Pratt, retired, who began surveying the waters of the Territory thirty-five years ago. Cap tain Pratt was a speaker at din ner of the Alaska Committee of the active development of Alaska now, that He made his statement after telling of the oil seepages which have been known to exist in Alaska for many years and showed photographs of trees coated with oil in the Icy Bay district.
 Captain Pratt said: "Oil drilling op- erations in Alaska require tremen- dous outlays and also the transporta- tion problems loom so big that no company which does not have millions at it's disposal can hope to operate in that field. It is Seattle's duty to up- hold Alaskas hand in ridding this section of the boomer, faker and the wildcatter, who is already laying his lines for cleanup on the basis of the lure of Alaska oil" Captain Pratt urged more adequate appropriations for Coast and Geodetic Survey and said that the coasts of Washington and California were only half surveyed and Oregon only one third. He urged better charting of outside waters in Alaska and stressed the need of an adequate lighthouse at Cape Spencer.
 Capt. J. E. Dodge, of the Coast Guard, who visited the Alaska seal haunts thirty-five years ago, gave history of the growth of that indus try and predicted that it can be made even more profitable for the govern ment.
