Dead Witnesses Tell No Tales.

An official of the dock department
of Greater New York, on his way to
testify before the Legislative Commit
tee now investigating the affairs Of the
metropolitan community. was killed by
a subway train Friday morning. Wheth-
er he fell upon the tracks, or leaped in
suicide, or was pushed over the edge
by murderous hand is unknown. The
testimony available indicates that he
Jumped to his death. Yet there remains
tAa suspicion that he was "given
yios" by somebody higher up who
feared the effect of his continued ap-
pearance before the inquisitors now
probing so deeply into municipal graft.
Memory Is revived of the murder in
1912 Of Herman Rosenthal, gambler. on
the eve of a conference with the dis
trict attorney at which he was to give
testimony relating to the police graft
in the protection of illegal establish
ments and games. The dock engineer
who was crushed by subway train had
been on the stand for several days and
had reached the point in his testimony

Fate of the Horse.

the fate of the horse in a motorized
age is shown rather pathetically in
Washington upon occasion. Friends of
animals may note during these hot Sum-
mer days small wagons drawn by horses
which seem frightened by the traffic.
Often the drivers of these outfits are
forced to descend and lead the animals.
Observers are not free from the uneasy
feeling that the horses will suffer at
the hands of their drivers before the
day IS over for their timidity, which Is
no more than thousands Of human be-
ings feel In the stress and strain Of
this automotive age. The hot weather
puts an additional burden, not only on
owners Of such animals, but upon asen-
cies for animal welfare and the gen.
eral public, to see to it that these re-
manning horses are fed and watered
properly. They are survivals In an
alien age, and so out Of place on our
streets that the hearts of many persons
are touched at their plight.
It has always been necessary for GER
tain organizations to watch out for
these beasts of burden, and this neces-
sity is more paramount today than ever
before, owing to trafic conditions. The
fact that there are comparatively few

1892 as Friend of the Overtaxed Farmer

true that in the last calendar year our
IL Federal Land Banks had to sell some
three thousand farms, or parts of
farms, upon which they had foreclosed
because Of loans unpaid. 1t Is also true
that at the end Of the last calendar
year there were 2,402 farms upon which
Federal Land Bank foreclosures were
pending. The unpaid loans upon these
24O2 farms amounted in total prin-
cipal to some $s,5oo,oo0.
Today some 10 or IL out of every 100
of farmers indebted to the Federal Land
Banks are delinquent" in payments on
their loans.
The situation thus is admittedly seri-
Gus. On the other hand, there are two
facts which are equally admittedly true.
In the first place, the Federal land
banks do net foreclose on all "delin-
quent" farmers, but endeavor to distin-
guish between them on their prospects
Of recovered solvency and ability to pay.
In the second place, the moneys Dor
rowed from the Federal Land Banks by
farmers are transmitted into bonds,
which are sold to investors in general.
and it Is certain that a moratorium
upon payments by borrowers would have
a depressing effect upon future sales OF
these bonds.
II
Such are, and will be. the financial
arguments used by Mr.. Mellon and the
Treasury Department in repelllng the
humanistic arguments Of Mr.. Harrison
and numerous other proponents OF an
agricultural moratorium in the Senate
and in the House of Representatives.
The humanistic arguments will be but
treSsed by much moving rhetoric on the
point of the willingness of our Treasury
to sacrifice itself for Germany and
France and Italy and Britain, but not
for Mississippi and Texas and Iowa and
Minnesota. The financial arguments
will coldly snub that ardent irony and
will in all probability in the end pre-
vail.
Similarly, in all probability. the Fed
eral Farm Board will prevail against
Vice President Curtis and Senators Cap
per and Watson and Brookhart in the
matter of wheat sales. That quarrel
has now gone beyond economics into
a high administrative issue. If the
Federal Farm Beard should yield now
to the Vice President and to his sena-
torial assistants, it would be placarded
to the whole country as having at enc
time made up its mind on the merits
of the matter and as having subsequent
" Welded to political pressure. 1t would
thus destroy itself as an organ OF public
trust. 1t is not believed that it will do so.
The net consequence Is that the
Federal Government next year will look
weak in its love of farmers. while Mr.
Roosevelt will look strcng. 1t may not
be fair; but, fair or unfair, 1t Is fate.

articles in our best magazines we are
unwilling to read unless they are briefed

speaking of more dangerous than in the
cultivation Of those things that have to
do with our spiritual life.
In the whole course of His ministry

the need of quiet and repose and re-
Election. He took HIS disciples away
into Q desert place to rest awhile that
they might be made ready for the test
OF their exacting ministry. He Him
self In. the brief space Of three years
active service withdrew Himself into
the silences that He might with greater
elaboration plan the mighty service
to which He was committed. When
He was to withdraw from His wavering
disciples He admonished them to tarry
in Jerusalem until they should be en-
dued with power. They were now eager
to enter upon their world service, and
doubtless were reluctant to abide His
judgment. They were unfamiliar with
the kind Of power of which He spoke,
and with freshened enthusiasm they
were ready to enter upon their chosen
task. A period Of waiting must have
irritated them, but in the mind Of
their Master 1t was indispensable to
proficient and effective service. The
result Of their waiting the world has
learned. for it was of these peasant
disciples it was written, They that
have turned the world upside down
have come hither also" It is an I'M
challenged fact that following the
period Of waiting and the gift of power
they ushered In the greatest changes in
the thoughts and habits Of men the
world has known.

significance of the Masters words.

mind, the enrichment of the soul are
not spontaneous and sudden develop
ments; they come through definite
methods Of cultivation and q reason

the great compelling forces with which
we have to do are largely silent, orderly

Of these work horses on the streets
should make it far easier for humane
organizations to see that decent treat
ment Is accorded them at all times.
The time will come when the horse
will be unknown in the city. It is al
most SO now. but, unfortunately, the few
that are left are most often to be seen
in the crowded downtown streets, where
trafic conditions are at their worst.
The timidity which attacks most resi-
dents OF q modern city, when they are
called upon by conditions to do some
thing or say something which attracts
immediate publicity to themselves, pre-
vents great many humane people
from protesting conditions which strike
their minds and hearts as wrong. There

Soft Coal Mining
A Suffering Industry
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

Both sides of the soft coal problem,
that of the producers and that OF Iaoor,
were in evidence In washington last
week. but neither side apparently scored
While a conference of mine operators
was being held at the Department OF
Commerce under the leadership OF Sec
retaries of Commerce and Labor,
group of some so or more mine workers
from nearby mining districts attempted
to picket the meeting and afterward
to see the President.
The conference of the operators, it
was stated, was simply for a frank
interchange Of opinion and no decisions
were made. Among the topics discussed
were ''the bearing Of freight rates on
coal marketing, the variance between
scales of wages current In various parts
of the country, status as to working ar
raneements. unemployment and many
other conditions in different coal-min-
ing districts"
The seriousness Of the problems fac
inc the bituminous industry Of the
United States may be seen in the one
fact that not more than 20 per cent OF
the mines operating to full capacity for
$50 working days of the year would pro-
duce all the coal which now comes out
of these minis.
The conference, it is believed, also
touched upon the subjects OF new mar
kets and the need for the development
of new industries. Twenty-Five opera
tors had been invited and an attendance
of so per cent was evidence OF interest
on the part of the industry.
The move which led to the calling OF
this meeting at the Department OF Com
merce and another one at the Depart
nent of Labor. was q request made 70
President Hoover by John l.. Lewis,
nresident of the United Mine Workers
Of Amsrica. for a general conference Of
Operators and labor officials looking for
ward to STRENGTHENING the industry. In
resnonse to this request on July !, the
President autographed to Mr.. Lewis that
h. had referred the request to the Sec
retaries of Commerce and Labor. He
assured the operators and miners that
the FEDERAL Government Is DESTROYS OF
lending every possible assistance in any
constructive program for betterment OF
conditions in the coal industry.
Through its Bureau OF Mines, the
Department of Commerce will study the
economic side of the industry, while
Secretary Doak, through the Depart.
ment of Iabor,s Cancellation service, will
endeayor to persuade the operators and
men to "get together" even more closely
and helpfully In the interest OF solving
the problems Of the industry.
D,irinr the past few years the soft
coal industry Of the United States has
been the subject Of frequent investisa.
