To Ask Government
Operation of Mines
nv United Press.)

Washington, an. 24.-An eI-
fort to legislate for government
oneration of the coal mines WI!
be made at this session Of Con-
gress.
In the belief that private oper-
alton of the mines has failed 10
meet public needs, a resolution Is
being framed to declare rnining
of coal a public utility and to au-
thorize the government to operate
these private interests for the
benefit of the consumer.
The new attitude of those who
are pressing for action was out
lined to the United Press today
by Senator David Walsh Massa-
Democrat, WHO believes
that government operation is the
only solution of permanent ills IN
the fuel industry.
"The anthracite shortage is not
blamable upon the retail dealers
nor alone upon the railroad COM
panies,' Walsh said.
"The root Of the trouble is at
the mines-is with the manage
ment of the industry in the coal
fields.
This failure is not temper
airy one. 1t is not aused by a
single strike or a single attempt
by those who hold the industry IN
their. power, to profiteer.
Besides this, he contends, the
public has paid many millions more
n excessive prices for the pro-
luct and he believes the steps
should be taken as soon as present
are concluded.

earned, are earnest for quicker

Colonel Harvey demonstrated to the

sess that quality in sufficient degree.
He pleased the British pretty well, but
not his own countrymen. When he
told the English that all the talk about
America going into the war unselfish-
ly to save democracy for the world
was bunk" that this nation entered

lessened the British feeling of obliga-

THE JOURNALS
POLICY



Newspapers are created for SER
vice and if a guiding hand does
not point toward Service" each
day there is no excuse for the ex-
istence of a newspaper. In mod
ern journalism there have grown
UP what may be called two classes
of newspapers. One class is cree
ated for the purpose of serving a
particular interest or oumbina-
ton of interests and the other for
the serving of the great interests
of the public. that great majority
which oftentinfcs~ has not "en
sufficiently cohesive to command
the proper attention from the iuI.
ing few.
The policy of the Montgomery
journal will be to represent the
views of this great majority IN
issues with these particular inter-
ests or combination of interests.
Perhaps. the position of the Jour-
nal in the future cannot be bet
ter defined than by the letter Lf
Frederick I. Thompson to the IN
change Club of Montgomery in re-
ply to the clubs letter of con.
gratulations: The Journal at al
times will represent the wider in
terests of the community, free
from political or corporate con-
troll; in effect acting as the re-
tanned counsel of the public in
terests."
Its efforts will be directed to-
ward the preservation of the in
, terests of those who cannot lay
aside their everyday affairs and

WILL THE SCHISM HEAL?

Senator Watson, Republican of In
diana, recently gave public utterance
to the belief that the differences be-
tween President Harding and certain
of his party as to the world court
and other policies would soon be
smoothed out. Senator Watson, be-
ing one of the opposition, may have
good reason for his opinion, but to
an outsider it appears that he is an
incurable optimist. 1t would be an
dent to recede from his present strong
position on the world court, and if he
should he certainly could not carry a
popular following with him, for one
quality the crowd demands in leader
is steadfastncss. So far Mr.. Harding
has shown every indication of
strengthening rather than weakening
determination. Besides, he has with
him Hughes, Root, Hoover and others
influential in the party who are noted
for their independence of thought and
who most certainly would not yield
to the demands of the irreconcilables
and politicians of lesser caliber. In
deed, it would be incorrect to class
Hughes as a politician in any sense.
He simply doesn't know the rules of
the game.
Thus it appears that the only way
in which Mr. Watson's prediction can
come true is for the opponents of the
court idea to follow where they have
not been able to lead the administra-
ton. Lodge has cannily kept quiet,
so that he may take advantage of
whatever opportunity develops Borah
and LaFollctte have not been
so discreet and they may per-
sist in their present attitude until
i. becomes evident that they must de-
sert sinking ship. Hiram johnson
is another who has exhibited great
restraint in the face of many oppor-
tunities for widespread publicity of
his opinions. Indeed, he is reported
on a recent occasion to have refused
an interview 1t will be a sad spec
tacle if these recalcitrants must event
ually come trooping back to the fold
or be shut outside.

TRAFFIC IN LAW VIOLATION

Conviction with prison terms rang
ing from one day to a year and half,
in addition to fines of up to $4,000,
of fifty-two persons of Gary and Lake
county, Indiana, for violating the pro-
hibition laws will go far towards i'm
proving conditions in that locality.
They had become so bad as to attract
attention and create wide criticism.
Among those who came in for i'm
prisonment were, the mayor of Gary,
who got the stiffest sentence, a year
and half in the federal penitentiary,
besides fine of $4,000; the sheriff
of the county, who was also chairman
of the city board of public works; a
judge of the city court, and promi-
nent lawyer. The prosecution showed
that protection was given to certain
law violators by political leaders in
return for assistance at the polls. EX-
actly so. 1t is a system widely prac-
ticed. Such political leaders get their
financial returns from other graft and
corruption at the expense of the tax
payers. There could not be a more
vicious circle within the sphere of
public affairs.
The results of the trials at Gary
promise improvement in the whole
field of law enforcement. 1t is not
the first time officials under direct
responsibility to enforce the law have
been convicted and punished for en-
couraging and promoting its infrac-
ton. The prohibition laws, like other
laws, would be far better enforced if
those whose duty it is would perform
that duty, instead Of cooperating with
the violators. Failure through incom-
petence or corruption by enforcement
officers has done much towards de-
veloping the outlawed traffic, and

COMPETING WITH THE PUBLIC

The custom of railroads in confis-
eating for their own use the coal con-
signed to other consumers has met
with a setback in a decision of the
Alabama supreme court, wherein it
has been decided that this custom is
not justifiable. In case involving a
seizure of coal by the Southern rail
way the supreme court, Judge Ander-
son writing the opinion, held that this
practice of railroads is contrary to
public policy. In part he said: eff
such a custom could govern the ship
ment of coal it could be established
so as to extend to other goods and
commodities, and it would be contrary
to public policy to recognize Gus
tom which would permit public car
riers to convert to their own use
articles they had contracted to de-
liver, by, in effect, stepping into the
shoes of the consignee."
There is way for the carriers to
avoid confiscation of coal. That
would be by maintaining at all times
a large coal reserve in storage. They
have had these reserves occasionally
when direct menace to stoppage Of
mining was acutely before them, but,
as a rule, the railroads have been
found competing with the public when
the public has been in greatest need
of coal. This has not only affected
prices and delivery of coal to manu-
featuring plants, retail coal yards and
the domestic consumer, but it has af-
fected industry at large by use of an
excess number of cars for a period
in securing coal for their own con-
sumption, thus adding to the freight
congestion and car famine. There is
a lot of room for Improvement in this
quarter and doubtless the federal coal
commission will seriously consider and
make suggestion for larger storage of
coal by railroads than is now Gus
tomary on their part. There should
be minimum of thirty days supply
at all times and more than that on
the approach of the heavy transpor-
tation business beginning in Septem-
ber
