Peace at a Price

If John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, intends to use

force the soft-coal wage agreement.
he should say so now. II hard-coal
users are to be penalized because
soft-coal operators are not paying
the soft-co wage scale, they have
a right to know it now. If the Ma

the miners have not been able to
keep the wartime wage scale in the
bituminous regions. Mr.. Lewis
should lay his cards face up on the
table.
The situation is being shaped that
way. The road is being opened for
such a strike. The agreement that
hard and soft coal problems 81 ould
be dealt with separately is being
repudiated by the miners. The high
command of the n'iners is worrying
far more about soft coal than about

that the public shall help him whip

OUT IN WISCONSIN

The Wisconsin tail yet insists it IS
the animal itself. The followers of
the LaFollette cause cling. to the title
of the Republican party they did
their utmost to defeat only a few
months ago. The LaFollette organ
ization is struggling to retain its grip
on the party title and their own
machine organization in that State.
Without the political nourishment
derived from State control they
would languish, and languishing is
the last thing they wish to do. They
will have to put forth their best eff
fort to retain their grip on the fount
of their political existence. There
are quite few in that State, who
believe that being Republicans
doesn't consist in endeavoring to de-
stroy that party. They propose to
fight, though with what hope of sue
cess no one outside the kinks in the
political mind of Wisconsin, may
hazard a likely guess. Mr.. Wilcox,
whom they have selected as a candi-
date for the Senate as real Repub-
lican who will stand with Coolidge,
is promising candidate. He almost
was elected Governor of that State a
few years ago. 1t is said he would
measure up to the standards of the
republican party outside Wisconsin.

THE PANAMA CANAL

People are accustomed to think OF
the Panama Canal as common
place, nevertheless 1t is interesting TO
learn from the report of the Cover
nor for the fiscal year ending June
30th, the eleventh in the operation OF
the Canal, that the total Of cargoes
carried through was 24.170,237 long
tons, a decrease in net tonnage as
compared with the previous year of
1926 per cent. The tolls for that
fiscal year amounted to sci, ,992.-
04.
Aside from the magnitude OF the
construction of this canal, the un-
dreamed of profits accruing there
from. there is another no less i'm
portant feature, that of living con-
ditions in the Canal Zone. 1t will be
recalled that yellow fever, malaria
and pneumonia decimated the work.
ers on the original canal under De-
Lesseps. But for the sanitary work
under the leadership of Gorgas, the
cleaning up and destruction of the
breeding places of the disease bear
ing mosquitoes, the construction OF
the Canal would hardly have been
possible.
This last report shows that for the
month of June there were but 1s4
malaria cases reported. Al Of which
originated outside sanitated areas,
and from which but two deaths were
reported. During the first six months
of this year the number of cases OF
malaria reported were II per cent
less than for a like period in 1924.
Such evidence of achievement that
has been made in sanitation should
not be disregarded. This countrys s
support and encouragement of the
work of those like Gorgas has con-
tributed inestimably to the welfare
and comfort of the world.

GIVE US M EN-

The futility Of passing new laws to
make good the people, who were not
good under the other laws, and
leaving it to the manipulation OF
those who manipulated the old laws
is rather strikingly demonstrated in
New York
There having been fraudulent
methods employed with the old regu-
lations Of motor licensing, another
law assumed to be knave- proof was
passed. The crooks greeted 1t with
the merry ha-ha and became more
crooked than ever.
The corrupt in positions of trust
were securing thousands of dollars
for issuing fraudulent licenses and
crooks, who could not secure from
honest administrators Of the law Ii
censes, were able to do so from the
rascally administrators by paying
for it. Such restraint upon the
gun men using automobiles was
nullifed.
Without honest, fearless. capable
administrators no law may be trust
ed. Whenever law is under con-
sideration that iact should be in
mind. Can such men be obtained
and induced to serve. Is a question
about which a public should have a
reasonable amount of conviction be-
fore setting the task. It Is a great
country with considerably more than
a hundred million people in it,
most of them doing nothing that at
tracts the attention of the writer of
headlines. There is every reason to
believe the vast majority of them
are honest, as that term is generally
understood. Most of them are busy
attending to the winning Of liveli-
hood for themselves and others. yet
those are the kind of men needed to
enforce our laws. Right now the
prohibition enforcement service is
conspicuously suffering from lack of
the right men for the work. lack OF
sufiicient inducements to secure such
men, lack of protection for such men
when they are obtained.
God give US men," and help us to
appreciate honest service.

WHEN SOUVENIRS ARE STEAL.
INGS

Presumably those tourists, who
stole hymn books from the little
church at Plymouth, VT, consider
themselves souvenir hunters. The
founders of that little church, ac-
cording to the notions entertained In
that generation, would have regard
ed them as contemplate thieves
taking advantage of a courtesy to
rob the courteous.
Would it not be well II that old
time regard of thieving were retain
ed by the present generation? Has
mankind in this part Of the world
better social attitude toward meun
and tuum, mine and thine? Is the

Stealing never ends in fun.
Nuts within the Shady Wood
Is your proper kind of food
shouted Professor Jim Crow as
Squirrel Nutcracker, half choked
with the flour that had filled his
eyes and nose, | mentioned in the
last story, darted out of the Old MIL
Goodness me, no one would ever
have known it was he. White faced
SQUIRRELS don't live in every tree.
Yes, sir. When that little squirrel
tore a hole in a pig -four sack he
never thought for a moment that the
-four would pour out into his eyes
and nose. He thought the sack was
full of wheat kernels. That's what
he did.
"Ha. .ha," laughed Little Jack
Rabbit. as he skip-toed after poor
Squirrel Nutcracker, while the old
crow fluttered down from his perch
in the tall Elm Tree. Hopping along
after them he cawed loudly;
"Wait a moment while I look
In my good old Wisdom Book
'I'll dust off the -four" cried the
little rabbit, as he caught up to the
frightened squir ell. Opening his
knapsack. the bunny boy took out a
little broom and carefully busted
Squirrel Nutcracker's -four covered
face. Meantime the old crow turned
to page % and began to read aloud:
always, always keep your paws
Off of things that are not yours.
Just because you'd like to eat
Other peoples garnered wheat.
You can't steal. That's what you've
done,

The New Rates on Coal

(Sprlnghelu Republican,
The Interstate Commerce COM
missions order in regard to coal
rates is of special interest to New
England on account of the reduction
on so-called smokeless bituminous
coal, but its chief significance is
that 1t upholds the prevailing freight
rates on anthraci with only a few
minor exceptions. The commission
frowns on the 10 per cent cut which
had been demanded by n spokesman
for the mine workers on the ground
that higher wages couldsthen be paid
without affecting the price which
the consumer pays for his domestic
fuel. Under a 10 per cent cut the
consumer at Boston who buys 12,5
tons a year would save only $500 if
the benefit passed ultimately to his
pocket. That he could not count on
it's doing so is shown by the fact
that during period when the re-
tail price of anthracite at Boston has
risen from sS.25 to SIS ton, the
freight charges on the same coal
have increased only s1,51 ton. The
rest of the s775 advance has gone
elsewhere.

Jamestown Conference of criticisms
of our affairs. especially our army
