BRITISH INVENTOR ON
 TRAIL OF SMOkELESS COAL

CARDIFF, Feb. S.-If London fogs ever are to be abolished, it probably will be due to the thought of John Roberts, of this city, who has in vented a new process of carbonizing coal.
 It is claimed that under this pro- cess a mixture of slack coal is sub- jected to a temperature of between 600 and 700 degrees centigrade, re- sulting in the production of a bright hard coke which does not soot chim- ney flues and is absolutely smoke less.

THE LEGION AND THE KHAN

The American Legion has disap.
 pointed some by not coming out and l declaring that the organization known as the Ku klux Klan has certain aims and, because it has those aims, the Legion denounces it. The Legion has disappointed others because it did not was no business of the Legion's to do anything about the klan.
 There is no reason for disappoint- ment in what the American Legion has done. It has said, in effect, that it refuses to sit in judgment upon any organization of the aims of which it has no official knowledge, but that it does denounce any organization which ''creates or fosters racial, re- ligious or class strife" or which takes into their own hands the enforcement of law determination of guilt or in- fiction of punishment" as being un- AnleflCdn, menace lO our llDtTlleS and destructive of our fundamental law"
 The Legion itself, by denouncing the klan internationally and by name would, in sense, be determining the guilt" of the klan. The men who serv- ed in the army of the United States are the last to declare what man is until they have all the evidence before them. The Legion's resolution but states this principle. If the Klan does the things commonly accredited to it. the resolution denounces the organi- zation. If the klan does not do these things, no harm has been done.
 Judge Not" is a good rule to fol- low The man who keeps this com mand in his mind will not fall into | the error of kicking dog because he hapens to be down. Omniscience is | not given to ns yet. It is good thing that it is so.
 Let it be conceded that the popu- lar idea of the klan is that it is an organization guilty of all the things denounced by the Legion. ve <p not

LARSON ON COAL

''I would rather have the bond oi
 the power company or railroad which
 uses the coal than 10 cast my lot with the fortunes of the coal mining indus try" This is Roger Babson's state-
 mcnt this week after discussing the
 coal situation. emphasizing the small
 production last year and the "record'
 production this year.
 If Mir. Babson does not look with favor upon the stocks Of the coal min
 ing industry it may be presumed that
 he does not see continuance of high prices for either soft or hard coal. the former having already dropped, as he deals with both in his letter of this week published in yesterdays Her ald."
 This comment is mentioned only to confirm the conviction previously formed that whether 1t Is a question of months or weeks the commodity of coal will not cause the wory in this part of the country at least that it did last year. The settlement" of the strike by Gov. Pinchot may have the tendency to keep prices up. But we were glad, last winter. that any sort of arrangement by our dealers, even though the prices were not lowered, brought coal here,
 Now, however, with the recent pro- duction so great and the transporta- ton facilities much improved, we may hope for prices somewhat lower at least. And wemay feel that there will be absolutely no reason for an in crease. There will be no necessity of trading with independent" dealers as was. the cast last year.
 General business remains at 10 per cent below normal, according to the but there is an under current of confidence. we believe. re- flected in the more frequent, though small, orders of the jobbers, that the will be higher shortly.
 It is to be noted, in this connection, that iobbers are hoping retailers will get orders in early as, owing to the present readjustment, there is a pos ,ibility of shortage especially In the hardware trade.

@susrrNprsa ORDINANCES

4 member Of the police commission
 disapnroves of suspendlng the age
 limit ordinance 10 permit Thomas Dolan to he appointed to the regular force. much as he may with the ap- pointment. The Herald would like Co see Dolan appointed, hut this news paper does not believe in "suspending ordinances 10 meet special cases. even though it might be done legally. The impohsibiliiy, or Rt least the ir- regularity Of such action. has been pointed ont hy thIs member of the po- lice board, and the point Is well taken.
 One of the popular expressions In the council is "rhis would establish n bad precedent" The expression is often used when the speaker does not know exactly what precedent" in its technical sense means. But there might he some excuse for using this statement in the case in point.
 Some of the members Of the com mon council probably would like to see Thomas Dolan on the force where his special. government given knowl- edge would be of great value. We would like to see him on the force, and it is confidently predicted that he will be put on tn eforce. But an ordi- nance, to be any good. must be, re- spected. and breaking ordinances is little worse than suspending them. Other cases, quite as important as the one under consideration might come up where the ordinance, any ordi- nance, would be looked upon as some- thing that might be suspended as a matter of course.
 That sort of ordinance Is not worth | a great deal. The best way to meet the present case, as before urged In these columns. is to make the present ordinance effective until the passage or year or two Thus men who have planned their future relying upon the old rules would not be treated un- justly.
 This. of course. if the common council still believes in telling the po- lice board that the age limit recom- mended by it is too high The strict ly proper action should be to leave to this board the decision of matters upon which the board is particularly informed, as it is proper to leave to other departments the decision of matters of which they know more than the common council. The latter body, however. should retain the power to refuse to sanction action by the boards, of course, but this veto power of the council should be used only in cases where there can be no question but that the board erred.

NEW JITNEy ROUTES

Permission to run over new jtne, route is sought from the public utili ties commission. The point here made is that in considering all such appli. cation from this time on, the utilities commission should take into consider alton two matters. The first of these is the new development going on in this city, and which will continue to be carried on. The second is the sit nation as regards transportation out look in the future.
 The latter matter was commented upon in these columns recently. The men interested in electric street rail- roads were told by an expert that high car fares had come to stay. They be- lieve this undoubtedly. It was said in these columns at this time that if such were the case the people would begin to look for some substitute method of transportation just as the people looked for substitute for hard coal when it appeared that there would be a scarcity Of it. Admit, for the sake of the argument, that the trolley companies can not reduce fares and give a proper return on their investment. That does not alter the situation one particle. Say. even. that the trolley companies are doing well to keep the fares as low as they are-if you are prejudicted in favor of the trolley companies. In that case the electrical street railroad companies are More to be pitied than censured" But no matter how much we may pity them nevertheless we'll have to turn away from them and look for some cheaper method of transportation.
 At present the jitneys are offering that method. It is quite probably that in time the iitneys might raise their prices. Well. the search for the substi tute would go on This is the situation the public utilities commission must consider when aD application is made
