NEWS NOT PRINTED

An election has just been held in
Cuba. That is what it was called,
anyway. But it was not truly an
election There was really but one
ticket in the feld-put there by the
administration of President Machado,
who, according to Mr.. Coolidge, has
given Cuba its best government.
The progressive and liberal forces
in Cuba boycotted this election. They
remained away from the polls.
Could there have been more strik-
ing news than this?
Yet it was not printed in any Amer
lean newspaper Why is this?

NOT REASON ENOUGH

Assuming that most unhappiness
comes from three causes-fnancial
worry, i'll health and disappointment
in love-how foolish it is to be made
by conditions that are usu-
ally curable. Financial worry can be
avoided by the will power to save and
be economical III health can gener-
ally be cured by the will power to live
in accordance with rules of common
sense. As to disappointment in love,
that can be depended upon to cure
itself under the kindly administra-
tion of time. Patience will take care
of that

unless the Interborough can secure a
reversal of the decision by the New
York court of appeals.
The court said that contracts be-
tween the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company and it's employees bind
ing the latter not to join any but
the company union are invalid and
that the so-called "yellow-dog" con-
tracts of employment are "inequit-
able and on-enforceable The
court, therefore, refused to enjoin the
Street Railway Employees Association
and the American Federation of Labor
from continuing in their efforts to
the transit lines.
There is now pending in the legis-
Iature of New York a bill similar to
the one introduced last year in the
Ohio legislature by Senator Rebman

SHIP MAY SMASH
AHEAD IF 1T HAS
RIGHT OF WAY

Washington. - The United States
supreme court has ruled that a ship
having the right of way is not requir-
ed to change her course to avoid a
collision.
The decision came in suit by the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
owner of the steamer Newport,
against the steam schooner Svea. The
vessels collided in 1922 off San Fran
cisco.
The Svea had the right of way and
signalled, but held to her course.
Lower federal courts ruled that Svea
should have changed her course when
it was evident that Newport, in dis
regard of signals and right-of way
rules, intended to hold her course,

Koppers Miami coke should be used
for heating houses because it is a
clean and convenient fuel; it elimi-
mates smoke, reduces the necessity of
cleaning the furnace and fiues, re-
quires less attention than coal, and
gives more uniform temperature in
the house.
The only way of eliminating smoke
in large cities is by using smokeless
fuel-a fuel that will burn without
producing smoke in any equipment
now in use. In the past the only
smokeless fuel available for house
heating was anthracite. However,
anthracite is mined in only one dis
trict in the United States, and there
fore it's use is limited to the area with
in reasonable freight distance of the
anthracite mines. Much the larger
part of the country has to depend
upon soft coal for domestic heating.
Inasmuch as coking coal can be found
in many places in the United States
it is possible and desirable that part
of the bituminous coal should be con-
verted into coke to supply smokeless
fuel for household use
The cost of smoke to the community
has been investigated in detail in sew
eral large cities. The committee on
smoke prevention in Cleveland Cham
bes of Commerce in 1909 fixed the an
nual loss due to smoke in the city of
Cleveland at $6,0OO,0O0, or about $12
for every man, woman and child each
year. In view of the large cost of
smoke to the city, would it not pay
to exert some effort to eliminate
smoke by providing smokeless fuel
and have much pleasanter place in
which to live, and enjoy the good

The manager of the company

Selfish Wife

Miss Ellen Glasgow, noted novelist,
had come from her Virginia home To
sail for Europe, and at the Cosmopoli-
tan club in New York she talked
about divorce.
"Selfishness is the cause of di

mond girl married young cotton
broker-they're divorced now-and
one day the poor fellow had to say
to her:

The National Civic Federation, with
the approval of the American Feder-
alton Of Labor, has started a cam
paign to interest Americans in the
business of voting.
Why is it that only 81 per cent of
US voted in the last election?
American apathy in the crisis of
political affairs is amazing.
The stay-at-homes makes it easy
for incompetents and crooks. Surely
no trades unionist can afford to neg
lect his political obligations.

Why Koppers Miami Coke

health that goes with pure, whole
some atmosphere?
When burning coke furnace re-
quires much less attention than when
burning soft coal The time usually
given to poking fires, cleaning the
furnace fues in the house, can be
spent much more prohtably in some
other way. Surely the most disagree
able work the housewife is called
upon to do is to clean the SCOT out
of the furnace and iues Moreover,
the cleaning is not limited to the fur
mace and flues alone, but extends to
the entire house. With hot air heat

tating more frequent housekeeping,
curtain washing, and papering. The
cleanliness of coke will appeal espe-
cially to the housewife
In the past soft coal has been
burned in the raw state in dwelling
houses and in many plants not equip
ped for its efficient utilization. A
large part of the valuable substances
in the coal escaped as black smoke,
was wasted, and polluted the atmos-
phere. In spite Of the efforts that
were exerted to improve the furnaces
in order to obtain smokeless combus-
tion the smoke largely persisted. Now
people are realizing that the smoke
from chimney is warning to man
that he is not using the coal as he
should. Times are changing, large
country is found through the by
part of the soft coal output of the
product plant and substances that
were previously wasted as smoke are
now turned into valuable products and
at the same time a smokeless fuel
(coke) is now available in almost any
kind of heating apparatus.

ing; one who is skilled in politics"
1t should be the proud boast of
every American that he is versed in
the science of government--tha he is
a politician and that he takes an
active part in politics.
To do otherwise is to surrender the
field to those who have a sinister
purpose when they encourage voters
to keep away from politics" This
advice is freely given but never fol-
lowed by privilege seekers.

A minister preaching his Sunday
morning sermon was aware that a
large number of his congregation
were not listening to his talk. During
this hour the janitor stepped to the

On this list are a great many red
and pink persons and organizations.
On it also are some who are neither
red nor pink. There is room to sus-
pect bad advice in formulating the
list. And worse advice in the man
ner of handling the public outburst
over the matter.
One need waste no sympathy over
the more or less aristicratic tenden-
cies of many of the d. A. r. ladies to
admit that the organization has a
perfect right to refuse to hear those
not pleasing to it, for any reason it
deems sufficient They have that
right and they can be as wise or as
foolish as they please in exercising it.
Of course a good many of these
ladies have forgotten that the "R"
| in u. A. R. stands for revolution, but
be. that as it may Many of them
seem now to think the I'D" stands for
dividends; and be that also as it
may.
The point is that every time some
one makes a monkey of those who DO
not like the reds, the reds gain a
point-and that is just what they have
done this time. Nobody else has
gained anything. Why can not

SENSE FROM CONGRESS

"There can be no effective enforce
ment of any law, | do not care what
it is, unless there is local public
opinion back of it, and also unless
there is local responsibility as well.
Take off the shoulders and con-
science of the American people locally
this responsibility and duty to en-
force law, and there will be no law
enforcement. Men and women are
willing to bear that responsibility,
but when agencies are set up that
assume that responsibility, at once the
local communities are discouraged,
the very force and power that make
law enforceable and enforced are dis
heartened. Senator John J. Blaine,
of Wisconsin.
