COAL PROFITEERS UNDER PIN.
CHOT PACT" GO UNCHECKED

Profiteers in the New England and
Middle Atlantic States are already
adding to the price of anthracite the
increase Of 81 ton authorized in the
"Pinchot Pact" for the stoppage OF
the coal miners strike and in some
cases are taking all they can get Even
in Philadelphia, almost within hail OF
the biggest anthracite mines in this
country, the price has risen from 81
10 Sl.25 ton.
The coal mems organization in
Philadelphia justify increase b. quot
ing the terms Of the "Pinchot Pact
and the findings of the Federal Coal
Commission. The advance in price
says the Coal Exchange of that city
was obviously inevitable from thu
day Of the Pinchot settlement Of the
strike The Federal Coal Commits
sion is also declared to have found
that 1T was utterly impossible" for
the dealers to absorb an increase in
the cost Of mining anthracite.
Gunnison news-champion., 1923-10-12

Governor Pinchot, following the
pact" which he negotiated for the
stoppage of the strike urged the oper-
ators to absorb" the increase of SO
cents A ton in the cost of producing
anthracite. President Coolidge now
suggests that the adjustment of prices
IS a local problem. The Federal Coal
Commission, after failing to prevent
or stop the miners strike. has gone
into the discard.
But the profiteer is on the job and
is taking a big toll.

school on the 9Th day of September,
1918, and for two days prevented
the teacher whom the board of ed
ucation had employed for said
school from performing his duties
as teacher, and the further fact that
only an injunction secured by the
present county superintendent pre-
vented them from holding possession
longer, and the further fact that
the court sustained the injunction
when the case was tried in the Oc-
tober term, 1918, in the court of
common pleas, have had any thing
to do with Mr. Finley's desire to be-
come a member of the county board
of education at this time.
I wonder if the fact that Mr..
Strong applied for teachers GER
tificate in 1920 but refused to COM
ply with the conditions prescribed
by law for the issuing Of such GER
tificate, and the fact that the county
board of school examiners refused
to issue such certificate because
they could not legally do SO, and the
further fact that the present county
superintendent was member of
that board have had any thing to co
with Mr. Strong's desire to become
a member of the county board of ed
ucation at this time.
I wonder if the fact that Mr..
Strong attempted two years ago to
dictate to the county board of edu-
cation whom they should have for
their president, and the fact that
year ago last April he attempted to
dictate to this board whom they
should employ as county superin-
tendent, or rather whom they should
not employ, and the further fact
that in both instances this board re-
fused to accept his mandate, have
had any thing to do with Mr..
Strongs desire to become member
Of the county board of education at
this time.

so scarce that many young people
who had made no preparation for
teaching were given certificates and
placed in the schools as teachers.
This had given rise to the popular
belief that teachers are not as good
as they sed to be-" Now, however,
almost every school in the county
is in charge of a teacher who has
had some special training for his
work.
Below is given a brief comparison
of the conditions exisNng in the
schools of Morgan county under the
new law and the old law:
New Law
/. A definite course of study for
all the schools of the county.
@. Uniform text books for all
the rural schools of the county. Only
three books have been changed
since the uniform books were adopt
ed eight years ago.
3. Promotion of pupils under
supervision of teachers and superin-
tendents.
4. During the school year 1922
1923 there were ten high schools in
Cn0 county. vi tuCSC, Af0 WCLC
first grade schools and two were
second grade and three were third
grade.
5. During 1922-1923 5o7 pu-
pills were doing high school work in
Morgan county.
6. During 1922-1923 3,43O pu-
pills were enrolled in the schools of
Morgan county, the average daily at
tendance being 2,944, and the per
cent of attendance being 85.
Z. Library in almost every
school in the county.
Voters, are you in favor of these
improvements?
Old Law
1. No course of study for all the
schools of the county.
2. No uniformity of text books.
Frequent changes.
8. Pupils promoted themselves.
4. During the school year 1913
1914 there were four high schools
in the county. OF these, one was a
first grade school and three were
second grade schools.
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1923-10-25

S. During 1913-1914 234 pu-
pills were doing high school work in
Morgan county.
s. During 1913-1914 3408 pu-
pills were enrolled in the schools OF
Morgan county, the average daily
attendance being 1856, and the per
cent of attendance being rs.
Z. Number of libraries almost
negligible.
1t seems to me that seeking cleo
tion to board of education on a
platform of opposition to the school
laws which, if elected, one must
swear to support in order to qualify
as a member of such board, is one
of the most absurd things one could
do. How can a man conscientiously
promise to oppose law and then
swear to support it?
l wonder if there is any reason
which has not yet been expressed
publicly why Mr.. Finley and Mr.
Strong are so anxious to become
members of the county board of ed
ucation.
| wonder if Mr.. Finley wishes to
become a member Of the county
board of education so that he may
oppose the three-mill levies for
schools in the whole county as he
did in his own township last fall
where the proposition was defeated.
The debt of the school district be-
cause of this is about $4,000 which
the taxpayers of this township will
have to pay. Instead of paying
three mills, the taxpayers will now
have to pay at least seven or eight
mills to take care of the principal
and interest.
l wonder if Mr.. Finley wishes to
become a member of the county
board of education in order that he
may help provide high school OPP
portunities for other peoples chill
dren, since he has not seen fit to
have his own children avail them
selves of this opportunity.
/ wonder if the fact that the pres
ent county superintendent was call
the board of education on the 9th
day of February, 1918. to conduct
an investigation of charges pre-
ferred against the teacher by Mr..
E. r. Finley and that after such in
vestigation during which more than
a dozen witnesses were called, in
Guiding Mr.. Finley himself, the
board determined that such charges
were groundless and ordered Mr..
Finley to send his children back to
the school, have had any thing to do
with Mr.. Finley's desire to become
a member of the county board of
education at this time
l wonder if the fact that Mr.. Fin
ley and another member of his fam
lily took possession of his home

NO AVAILABLE WOOD SUPPLY
investigation Shows That United
States Cannot Rely on Foreign
lmportations of Lumber,

A unique and exhaustive compilation
# the forest resources of the world
has been completed by the Forest serv-
Ice, United States Department of Ag-
riculture. This reveals. among other
things, that so far as Our great struc-
tural and all-purpose woods-the soft
woods-are concerned we must be-
come self-sufiicient or go without. II
all the available Siberian timber were
put ut the undisputcd cali of the Uni
ted States the yenrly export would
hardly supply one-fourth of our an.
nual timber needs. There Is an i'm
mense reservoir OF harlwoods in the
tropics which can he used for limited
and special purposes and secured at
mahogany prices. But the struggle for
the worlds supply of soft woods will
become more and more intense, and
those nations will fare best that pru-
IDENTIFY use their suitable waste lands
for growing coniferous woods. This
study skaters the dream Of those who
rely on importing the timber we need
when our own Is gone.

Standards OF Measure.

For most Of us the knowledge that

yard is quite sufficient. We must
know as much ms that. because the
metric system q. measure Is 50 widely
employed that one constantly finds II
necessary 10 turn meters into feet or
yards. hut the reilnements of modern
science demand far higher degree of
accuracy In measurement than Is per.
haps ever dreamed of In the ordinary
walks of life. The pains taken to OBJ
tain precise standards Of measure are
almost beyond belief OF one who IL not
familiar with scientific methods.
Every one knows that so-callcd
standard" bars, on which the exact
length OF the yard and the meter are
marked. are In the possession OF the

PULLED coMRADE TO SAFETY
Amazing Act Of Alrsdale Who Res
eusd His Playmate From Wheels
Of Speeding Train.

The Airedale who saved the life of
his mate, large setter, by snatching
him of the railway tracks near Gin
cinnati only an instant before a B. &
o. train whizzed over the spot, per-
formed very remarkable and heroic
Get. There can be no question about
this, says Our Dumb Animals. There
were at least two reliable witnesses Of
the rescue who reported the facts,
which were substantially as follows:
Both dogs belonged to one owner.
They had been lnseparable compan-
ions. The setter was subject to fits,
and when the locomotive gave its
warning whistle he ans suddenly
stricken and dropped between the
rails paralyxed. The Airedale was q
smaller dog. but quick and wiry. All
Of his breed are fast workers. The
Airedale grasped the situation instinc-
lively, II you must have II 20. but with
every indication Of rapid reasoning.
His mental processes prompted him to
act instantly and desperately. He
achieved his purpose and dragged him
over the rail-, not q second too soon,
and then down the declivity TO a safe
place; there to revive him from coma
by licking him with his tongue. The
account Of this rescue at once stirred
up the old controversy Of instinct
versus reason In the dog among psy-
biologists and dog fanclers. 1t Is our
opinion thnt one need not be either of
these To discern and determine intelli-
gence and reason In the animal that
has associated himself closest with
man.

is THERE WARMTH I'm sMoKE7
Matter Over Which There Seems to
Be Possibility for Considerable
Difference OF Opinion.

1t sounds rather unreasonable and,
anyway, we would rather be colder
and see the sunshine. We refer to the
fancied discovery by suburban New
Yorker that coal smoke makes the
city warmer. He writes: Several
towns on the south side Of Long Is
land have noticed greater discrep-
ancy in the weather this winter than
ever before. Instead of varying three
or four or five degrees from the New
York city temperature, 1t Is noted
that there is variation OF ten or
fifteen degrees That is, 1t is warmer
In New York by that much. Is 1t pos
sible that the use of soft coal, with
smoke hanging like q blanket over
the city, has a tendency to make it less
.old?r
1t would take long and precise Sc
ries of experiments to prove this ;
and there would still be the possible
ity that the higher temperature might
be due to other causes. We know
that the city is hotter in the summer
than the country, but that is due to
the reflection from the pavements and
superheated walls of buildings.
If the "smoke pair keeps out the
greater atmospheric freshness, II
would possibly be. explained on the
same lines that smoke smudge pro
tects peach and orange orchards from
northern blasts in early spring,
Cities live under more or less per.
petual smudge. The "smudge pots
