 Nelops tha, this practice on the part
 Of some has been discovered, The
 humilialing prospect comes that the
 card system of distribution Of coal
 may have to be used here unless everyone thinks Of the 'oiheF fellow and does not buy more coal than is necessary, with due consideration for those who deliver il and recognition of the fact that deliveries Of very small quantities are impossible under lhp present conditions
 II is recognized that the eases are comparatively few where person. having two tons Of coal in the cellar, orders more for an emergency" But il must be remembered that four or five tons in one cellar where an un- usually large amount is not needed daily, would relieve the distress Of many small eonsumers-and, as is usually the case. the small consumers are the ones who are suffering the most at this time.
 Emergency legislation" may be necessary. but whfle this emergency legislation is being discussed and while various theories are being ad- yanced 10 explain the present situa- ton. pcople-all the people-should assume the practical old-fashioned attitude Of being willing and glad to help out personally. 10 ask for only what they reasonably need. to re- member that wealth does not bring them the right to consider them- selves only.
 The Herald has been asked by Fuel Administrator Brown 10 suggest to people that they order coal early for routine delivery and not wait until they are down to their last days sup ply. This is proper request and it is passed on 10 those who are able to make their plans in accordance with it. Practical difficulties con- front those who have to make their coal go as far as possible, and whose consumption is based upon the weather conditions. But even they may, in a measure, conform to the request, and they will do it undoubt- cdly. Meanwhile possibly the pub licity given to the practice of get ting more coal than is needed will check that habit.

WOMEN SMOKERS

Propaganda from the insurance companies against the habit of allow ing women to smoke may be expected from now on. The desks of all publi- city organs will be flooded with scath- ing denunciations of the awful women who indulge in the weed. The insur- ance companies will be struck by a great moral wave of reform and will issue pamphlets telling that the race will be destroyed if women are al- lowed to go on their destructive way lighted by the blaze of matches in- tended to be placed at the end of cigarettes. cigars and even pipes.
 It will be wonderful to see the righteous indignation of insurance companies stirred to militant attitudes by the vision of the women smokers of the country. They, these insurance companies, will step into the gap and save the world from the awful in fiuence of such women.
 For the news tells us that women smokers are suspected of having caused the increase in loss by fires caused by matches and smoking" in the United States during the last year. .-omen must stop smoking. therefore, c course. It l. even probable that

John Kainz of this city appeared before Judge Frank D. Haines in su- perior court yesterday afternoon in support of his action for a divorce from Marie Horbaht Kainz, on grounds of desertion. He was repre- sented by Judge Benjamin w. filling. The plaintiff testified he was married on July 5, 1911, at Pittsburgh, Pa. Later his wife returned to Austria, and he received word that she had burned their baby to death. In 1920 he moved to this city. Kainz told the court that he had supplied his wife with money until he learned from his parents in Austria, that she was being assisted in spending 1t by another man. Gustave Knauss, Henry Kunz, Ludwig Multner and Caroline Kluck testified in the behalf of the plaintiff The decree was awarded on grounds of assertion.

WHITTIER ARE YOU GOING?

The only way to judge a man or a l nation is to find out in what direc-
 ton the person or nation is headed. Il
 does little good to examine the deeds of the day without comparing them
 to those of yesterday. Are they better
 or worse? The question may well be
 asked in deepest sincerity by those
 eager to learn what measures should
 be advocated. what opposed. Are we
 progressing or going backward.
 1 More and more conscientious per- sons are considering this question in
 regard to prohibition. They may treat | lightly the arguments made by con- stitutional lawyers that the restraint upon personal liberty is contrary to 1 the spirit of the constitution, and they | may insist that sometimes it is best
 right is infringed by such restraint. But they, these honest thinkers, can lIot LiNot iiShtiy SNiuShNS thdt lNhbs to answer the question of whether prohibition, and the Volstead act as now enforced or avoided, are bringing a better, healthier people.
 Possibly the fact that there was six per cent increase in admissions to state institutions in Massachusetts last year over the year before, such in- crease being attributed to poisonous liquor, may not prove that prohibition is increasing disease of the worst sort
 mental disease. Possibly the news that a new record for sudden deaths, nearly half of them caused directly or indirectly by "moonshine" liquor, was established in Philadelphia in January, may not be conclusive that prohibition is bringing retrogression not advancement. But most certainly these facts are of vital importance as laying foundation for proper an- swer to the question as to whether or not prohibition is doing what was ex- pected of it. And most certainly a continuation of such evidences of in- creasing disa bility and death of the people would eventually prove that prohibition as now prevailing is not a good thing for health, at least, of the people.
 In considering this matter the news of increasing savings deposits in banks and other details tending to show greater thrift should not be forgotten. 1 The evidence on both sides, accumu- lating daily, should be considered and | weighed, for it is question that must be answered in favor of prohibition If | the enforcement law is ever to be rec ognized as other laws are recognized. |

AN APOLOGY?

I am sorry friend Bart for the miser. able part
 That I've played in this jinglinG game. But the beans have been spilled and
 at present I'm filled With wave Of contrition and shame. You can certainly bet that I surely regret
 All them things that l said would do, An I'm sorry old Pard that you took
 it so hard Gee, it makes me feel awfully blue! So with this off my mind I'm in hopes
 you will find In the future, no cause for com
 plaint, For l promise you Bart, from the
 depths of my heart I'll behave like good little saint. That "old rusty mean pen" will get rustier then And with nursery rhymes it will
 teach That there's surely a place in this
 mud singing race For the guy who is clean in his
 speech. In conclusion I'll state that I'll not
 tolerate Those insults my paper boy
 brings,- Do you think I'm dub and will stand
 for the snub Of your sarcastic bites and stings? You have gone to the pains of ex-
 blaming that brains Are something I never possessed So be careful ol' fish, and be wareful
 of Bish, For I'll wallop you--this is no
 jest.

the explosion, were pinned down he'

 sinking of the hull.
 Prompt assistance was rendered ny
 the neighboring ships in the harbar,
 and the victims were generously cared
 for by the authorities of Havana. the
 hospitals being freely opened to them.
 while the earliest recovered bodies Of
 the dead were interned by the muniei-
 paiity In a public cemetery in the city. Tributes of sympathy poured in
 from every nation on the globe.
 The appalling calamity fell on the people Of this country with crushing force and for brief time. intense es- eitement prevailed, This spirit. how ever, soon gave way to ealmer rea- soning and it was resolved to inyes- tigate the facts before forming juds- ment as 10 the cause and the respon- sibility,
 A naval court of inquiry was es- tablished. composed of officers well aaulified by experience to perform the duties imposed upon them. A large force Of wreekers and divers was employed to search ont the hull of the Maine. to determine the exact causes of the disaster. The result of the findings of the board were transmitted to President Mckinley and it was found that the Maine had been de- stroyed by a mine planted for her destruction.
 This finding was the direct cause Of the war between this country ana Spain. declared after a short-space of time on April l9. All through the conflict. the cry of the sailors and soldiers Of this country was "Rcmem- Der the Maine." and with this cry, the navy and army of Spain were driven from Cuba and forced to aban- | don tho island forever.
 The Observer is seriously concerned over the increasing tendency on the part of people, men and women and even children, to disregard the prop erty of others and to treat 1t as their own. or course this lawlessness is to the Volstead act and the disrepute into which 1t has thrown all law.
 This situation, this tendency toward awlessness. is emphasized by the news that the authorities will keep the school coat rooms locked in the future to prevent thefts thcrefrom. It seems that articles have been taken rom the coat rooms in, the last two years or so. and the only way to pre- 'cnt it seems to be to remove tempta- ion from the way of light fingered persons and keep the rooms locked.
 This is serious matter and should T 'e treated as such. There is another erious matter, consideration of which has moved the Observer tt nake the above statements and de- uctions. The second serious matter 5, that during the past week, six cad pencils have been stolen from

CT course when 70 members Of ih'
 city meeting board vote to reject
 tax necessary 10 pay money the elts
 has contracted to pay they must have
 some motive. Possibly that motive i'
 hay in many Of the 10 minds, but i'
 cannot bn hay in the minds of the
 leaders Of the opposition to the tax, Those who led this opposition last night are among tho eity's most in- telligent men They admitted that tho money to be covered by this tax would have to be paid eventually, but post. ponement was favored,
 There is every indication that such postnonement would make city em- ployes sue the city for their salaries. and the result Of such suit would be unfavorahle to the city without ques- tion. This, Of course, would lay an extra burden upon the taxpayers. These 1s members. then, at least courted a lawsuit. Deliberately they would have placed the city in posi- tion Of possibly having to pay more than the amount called for by the extra tax. But putting the situation in the light most favorable to op- ponents of the extra tax: admitting that postponement might not bring lawsuits with their costs. What could be the motive of the leaders of this opposition in favoring such postpone ment?
 Just one possible motive appears, and this motive will be found to have actuated certain men for long time. They want the salaries Of city em- ployes to be as low as possible. They know that the salaries as decided upon by the common council must be paid. even though they helped bring the necessity for this extra tax. But they want to do all they can to keep those salaries down in the future. They want to draw an object lesson that the common council and the members of the city meeting board will not forget. If levying this tax had been postponed last night the result ing complications would be so ag- gravating, with possibilities of lawsuits all the time, that the common council would have hestated, perhaps, to vote the salaries for city employees in the future which they deemed proper.
 In the last analysis the question fought over last night and previously, as practically everyone knows, was the question of salaries. The main op- ponent of the extra tax putsthe mat ter in few words when he disclosed i what the scientists call his .'com- plex.' or predominating motive, by re- ferring to the fact that practically every conservative business house in the city reduced salaries
 One of the opponents of the extra tax declared that he realized large body like the city meeting board was not one to fix salaries. It is not! But brushing aside all camouflage the ob- jection to the extra tax at this time was that the smaller body, the com mon council had, in fact, fixed salaries instead of allowing the city meeting board to do it--the large body too ter wisely. The people of the city look to the city meeting board to keep down expenses, and it has not the power it seems.
