WHITE DENIES PLAN
LODGE SUSPECTED
Peace Commission Member
Says Covenant Query
Was His Own. -.

Henry White member Of the ,Ameri-
can commission to the Versailles
peace conference, had no intention Of
setting ia trap for Senate Republican
leaders when he sought in advance
Senator Lodges advice as to the form
of the League Of Nations covenant,
he declared last night in reply to
suggestions made in Lodges posthum-
Gus book on the league of nations.
The late Senator, in his. recently
published book, declared that, on
March 8, 1919. he received from Paris
a eablegram signed by Mr.. White ask
ing what changes would satisfy the
Senate. Elihu Root advised against
compliance with the request. saying
that White unwittingly, had taken
step which might commit the Senate
to support the league. and
lodge himself was impressed by the
possibility that Wilson. was the real
author, of the inquiry. Lodge ftnaily
cabled White he could not speak Tor
the Senate. as its members had scat
tered widely after the adjournment or

The Soft Coal Problem

m UT of the chaotic conditions which have
III disrupted the bituminous coal industry
there are now emerging number Of large coal
company consultations. Negotiations are
pending for $500 900, 900 merger of Kentucky
and southern West Virginia mines Another
-biliondollar merger of the immense hold
ings of the Consolidated Coal Company of
northern West Virginia, the Pittsburgh Coal
and Coke Company of western PENNSYLVANIA.
and several other companies is being dis
cussed in New York
Overproduction of COAL and the lack of
a uniform wage scale for miners, have been the
chief causes of coal company troubles Dur
ing the war production was speeded to a
point far exceeding peace time needs. One of
the first steps of the large consultations will
undoubtedly be the shutting down of many
mines. ~s53sl;a
The attitude of these large combinations
toward labor problems will bear watching. In
the past, the non-union mines of southern
West Virginia and Kentucky have been able to
disrupt the coal trade. The low wages in
these regions have enabled the operators to
undersell the union operators of northern
west virginia, pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois.
Recently the northern West Virginia oper-
ators on the ground that they must meet this
non-union competition have broken their
agreements with the United Mine Workers. To
date, most of the companies mentioned in con-
nection with the mergers have either been
those operating with non-union labor, or
those openly opposed to the union wage scale
If the mergers are intended largely as a.
means of breaking down the miners union
through intimidation, troubles undoubtedly lie
ahead.
If sincere effort is made to stabilize an
industry long noted for lack Of stability and
this Efforts extended to include sympathetic
attitude toward the problems of the mine work
ers, the mergers may prove to be beneficial.

Lunch

It's funny how your appetite will
often rule your mind, and make
you buy lot Of food you'll likely
leave behind. You see a mess of
dishes that appear to be treat.
and then you purchase much too
much for any man to eat.
You work all through the morn
ing, then, at noon you get the bunch
that you'll be feelin' better If you
hurry out to lunch. You join the
merry throng that takes the middle
of the day to court lot Of pains
and aches at luncheon or cafe.
There's, roasted beef and gravy and
there's pork and navy beans. You
start to figure closely on the dough
that's in your jeans. Your hunger's
runnin rampant and you eat with
lots of vim. Then. when your lunch
is over you are filed up to the brim.
The food that's around you, with
saddened eye you scan. You've
simply got to waste it, cause you've
eaten all you can. Your appetite's a
focler. is the fact that you have
found. But, shucks, you do the same
thing, when tomorrow comes around.

.PLEADERS FOR
EARLY PARO0NS

T~7R. ORIEN w. F1FER, at
I'D the Central Ave. M. E.
IL Church Sunday morning,
said that sentimentalism has pre-
vailed over common sense in our
administration Of justice. To this
he attributes some of the lack of
regard for law and courts so prev
alent
Those who hastily intervene to
obtain early pardons for men con-
victed, especially men of high po-
sition, have to reckon with the
effect of such action upon the
mass of people," he declared.
There's food for serious thought
in that statement.
Almost before the prison door
clangs on convicted man of
prominence powerful friends begin
to plead for early pardon. The
higher his position the more
prominent the petitioners for
clemency. We have the spectacle
of Governors, Senators, and
others, who vocally uphold the
majesty of the law, actively plead
ing for the release of convicted
friends before expiration Of
minimum sentences imposed by the
courts.
Such pleaders would Indignantly
deny they were attempting to
thwart justice. To them the cases
in which they are interested are
special cases meriting special
cases.
Probably so. But every success
of prominent, powerful, personal
ly law-abiding men in securing
early pardon of appointment
friend gives justice another black
eye. If such can escape full
punishmerlt-assessed by courts
after hearing the evidence-for
their evidence-for their misdeeds,
why shouldn't common Indicators
likewise? Every convicted man
thinks his "a special case deserving
clemency.
The sum total of all pleas for
early pardon is not beautiful
mercy, but greater encouragement
to lawlessness.

CURE FOR
DESPONDENCY

@7AROLD OLSEN, an Indian
III apoils man, died at city
hospital Sunday, from the
effects of poison he took, several
days before with suicidal intent.
He left wife and three small
children.
Dependency presumably caused
his, act of self destruction.
OF course a person can, IL SO dis
posed, cure dependency, falling
hair or halitosis by gulping down a
trimming goblet of paris green or
using a shotgun. But such cure
is worse than the disease. And
when a man has family and de-
pendents the act ds likely to cause
more depression and detection
than it cures.
In some countries suicide is an
honorable mode of exit. The aris-
tocracy Of Japanese gentlemen po-
litely falls on his sword when he
is displeased with the course of
events. He regards hari-kari as
suitable method of vindicating
soiled honor or voicing a protest.
But suicide seldom does any good
1t effectually removes the actor
from the stage but that rarely
untangles the skein of human re-
lations which prompted his act.
He merely goes and leaves his de-
pendents behind to battle with life,
and it's problem. He settles moth
ing but himself.
If one is respondent he can find
the surest cure for the>af1iction in
this world, not the next.

CHAPTER Is
Evolution Into Debt

G~1 HE early story OF Mr..
| Howard Sapiens, the first
- real man is divided into three
periods. The first is the old stone
age, which we scientists term the
"Paleolithic Period" Then came
the age of polished stone i'm
plements, or the "Neolithic Period"
Finally came the age of metals,
starting with the use of bronze for
weapons and eliminating in the
working of tin into f1ivvers.
Men lived very happily in the old
stone age, without rent, stores,
clothes or other Expenses, their sole
possessions being rude stone nipple
ments.
Now I realize that the fun
damentalists are opposed to anything
that is conjectural, anything that
cannot be said with absolute certain
ty. However, there is much evidence
to support the hypothesis that the
old stone age ended, because the
women folks wanted something
fancier, something for which they
had to pay. am sure that the
men will easily believe my hypo-
thesis.
Thus came on the new stone age
with more elaborate household i'm
plements, and possessions, better
caves, dressed skins for clothing,
etc.
Even now I can picture a happy
family group, sitting on the veranda
of their Meridian ST. cave, as the
boy comes along to deliver the eve
ming edition of the Neolithic Times.
Everybody scurries inside for fear Of
being hit, for it is no joke to be
struck by an S00-pound stone page
Not even by the comic page.
Incidentally, at this same time the
Stone Age News started giving away
free caves because it was losfag

Hence the popularity and keen
ness Of competition in the numer-
GUS bathing beauty contests.
Certainly a bathing, suit can
make a young woman famous.
This morning Gertrude Ederle,
clad in a heavy coating Of oil and
a bathing suit, slipped into the
sea off Cape Gr1s-Nez, France, in
an attempt to swim the English
Channel.
If she is successful her picture
will be in all the newspapers of the
country. She will be much
talked about young lady-with
more than a few days claim to
fame. Yet her bathing costume
wouldn't even place her as an also

It isn't the bathing costume,
but what one does in it that as

mentary applause.

Roast Pig and Arson

E0 OST reformers- prohibitionists, women
llVI suffra gists, single-taxers or what not
are generally well meaning and sincere people
They do not always, however mind the adage,
''Look before you leap" They are like the
Chinaman who kept his pigs in his house, and
who got his first taste of roast pork through
accident when the house burned down. After
that there were many fires in the neighborhood
he as well as his neighbors liked the taste,
and burned down house every time they
wanted to indulge it.
Lately this newspaper has been calling at
tention to the new Indiana dry law, since the
passage of which the houses, automobiles,
COW barns and other "effects" of Indiana citi-
zens have been searched and seized contrary
to the United States Constitution to an extent
that has aroused nationwide interest. In this
Indiana has been perhaps unjustly singled out.
Similar occurrences are common in California,
Ohio and other States, whether condoned by
State laws and courts or not.
The big question in all of these cases is the
constitutional question. The parts of the Con-
stitution which particularly apply are the
Fourth amendment, effective in 1871, which
says, ''THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO BE
SECURE IN THEIR PERSONS, HOUSES,
PAPERS AND EFFECTS, AGAINST UNREA-
SONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES,
SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED, AND NO WAR
RANTS SHALL ISSUE BUT UPON PROB
ABLE CAUSE, SUPPORTED BY OATH OR
AFFIRMATION, AND PARTICULARLY
DESCRIBING THE PLACE TO BE
SEARCHED, AND THE PERSON OR
THINGS TO BE SEIzEQ"; and part of the
Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, say
ing: ''NO STATE SHALL MAKE OR EN-
FORCE Any LAW WHICH SHALL
ABRIDGE THE PRIVILEGES OR IMMUNI-
TIES OF CITIZENS OF THE UNITED
STATES. y
There are few refdrmers believing in
State dry laws with teeth in them or in
ruthless dry law enforcement, who would say
that they are willing to give up the right to
trial by, jury, or the right,to be represented by
lawyer in court. Yet the only legal hold we
have on these last two rights is established in
oo-AAO
first ten amendments to the United States Con-
stitution, as the Fougth Amendment quoted
above. AN INVASION OF ANY ONE OF
THESE RIGHTS CAN ONLY LAY THE WAY

To show the vital Importance of the "Bili
If Rights as whole, as the real basis of Amer
lean liberties, here is list of things covered by
It, over and above the search and seizure pro-
visions of the Fourth Amendment:
Limitation of the power of Congress

press and assembly.

But evolution progressed and over
a period of thousands of years folks
began to tire of stone, so metals
were developed, The first metal was
bronze, which made very soft
hatchets that dented the first time
they were used. Many of them were
preserved and can now be pur-
