GUFFEY COAL ACT UPHELD AGAIN.

For the second time the Guffey Coal Act, some times known the Little NRA" of the coal industry has been upheld by the court. This time Federal Judge Elwood Hamilton of Kentucky has decided the act is constitutional holding that Congress has the power regulate wages and prices in any industry which Congress may conclude bears on Interstate Commerce. A short time ago District of Columbia court also ruled in favor of the coal law when it refused injunction to the Garter Coal Company which would have restrained the Government from collecting IS per cent tax provided for is the act
 In view of the clamor raised about the consti- nationality of the legislation of the Democratic Con- gross result of the adverse ruling by the Supreme Court in the of the old MIRA, the coal bill decisions interesting and enlightening. They tend to show two things First, that the special interests noise charging the present Administration with vio- latng the Constitution is simply balyhoo and these interests are attempting to stand on the Constitu- ton along with everybody else because they have nothing else to stand Secondly, the rulings reveal that the old MIRA had it's good points some of them are now being held valid in the Guffey Coal Act.

WPA MOVES AHEAD.

It appears that Comptroller General J. R. McCarl has decided finally that the Works Progress Administration will pass muster and money appro- prated by Congress to carry out the works program is being released at the rate of s1000OooO0 to s2Oo- 0oo00O daily result the hope of the Administra- ton to provide some three and one-hah million jobs by December take the place of direct relief appears at least on the road to fulfilIment.
 The Comptroller General it should be said by way of information is the real watchdog of the treasury He heads the General Accounting Office and it is up to him to see for example that million dollars appro- priated for roads is used for that purpose and in accordance with the requrments laid down by the law for the expenditure of public funds It is slow and tedious task and despite the fact that MT McCarl is a Republican appointed by President Harding and his term office expires this coming June there has been nothing to indicate that politics has entered into his carrying out of his duties Hints have been given that the Comptroller General has hued to the line in his decisions and there is reason to believe that there will be no great sorry in Administration circles when MT McCarl reinqushes his office this spring, which by the way be filled again by the same man. the appointment being for term of l5 years, but there been indication that the official did other than his duty as he is authorized to do.
 The point however, Is that release of public funds under the WPA now is going forward and jobs are being provided to replace direct relief. As Harry L. Hopkins Relief Administrator has pointed out scores of times this is the most important single thing in rehabilitating the millions that were struck by the depresson There is no question in the minds of all fair thinking people that direct relief absolutely necessary at the time that President Roosevelt took office and the country in slough of despondency. People were starving; they had to be fed or open revclt would have resulted But Mir Hopkins points out to guard against the creation of permanent relief class this country 1t is highly imperative that honest jobs be provided In other words, it is just as important, If not so. to keep the morale of the people high plane it is to keep the wheels of industry turning normal rate Both are essential to the ultimate fulfllment of the Roosevelt program of general rehabilitation.
 It should be happy news to the people of this country that WPA funds beginning to get into the pocket of the wage earner. It means that, despite the cries and walls of those of short vision and those with political ambitions, this country is

20 YEARS AGO
 From The Empire
NOVEMBER Is, 1915

As Seattle and Juneau police to- gether uncovered further traces oi Edward Krauses guilt, it began to seem, said The Empire, that the red -moustached Germ ans deed; would equal in barbarity those bloody exploits of Captain Kidd him. self
 The established victims estab- lished so far as circumstantial evil dence would admit-are already three: Captain Jim Plunkett Ole Moe, and William Christie. Robbery was given as a motive in the first two cases, jealousy in the third.
 The case of Captain Plunkett re- ceived special attention by Seattle police, inasmuch as the last word heard of the well-known Juneau res ident came in letter which he wrote to Juneau authorities, report ing the burning of his boat, "Lue, " and saying that he was going to Se- attle for an indeterminate length of time The letter was postmarked Wrangell Investigation reveals that Plunkett was not in Wrangell at the time the letter was written. It is further established that the Plum kett letter, several documents pur- ported to be those of Ole Moe, and the subpoena by whic h William Christie was enticed to his doom, were written on the same typewriter, found in Krause's possession when he stepped off the steamer Jeffer- son at Seattle.
 That Krause knew that Moe was dead, rather than in Europe, as he said, is evidenced by the fact he used his full name without compunction Also, Krause continued to pay the post office rent on the box formerly rented by Moe. This, police believe, was to enable him to intercept letters from anxious relatives of Moe, which might have caused a police inquiry
  had they been returned unclaimed.
 To return to the Plunkett case: Friends of Plunkett had previously commented that it was strange the man, who was well-versed in rules and customs of the sea, should send in his report in a badly-typewritten letter, when he knew he should have made duplicate reports on govern ment blanks provided for that pur- pose. It was pointed out that Plum kett, if his ship were destroyed, would logically have returned to Juneau, rather than Seattle. These dissatis- fled wonderings have grown in the past "A hours into a conviction that Krause killed Plunkett.
 Krause was to start north on the steamer Alameda, closely guarded by officers.

As Japan Sees Us.
(Kansas City Times.l

A writer in of the principal Tokyo newspapers has made important discovery. In granting the Philippine Islands their independence, according to this authority the United States is not withdrawing from the Orient the contrary, with an astuteness worthy of the great Machiavei himself, we are plan ming to extend our influence in that part of the world.
 "In reality" we learn, it (the grant of independ- ence to the Phppines) is great American diplomatic stroke gain practical benefits by the surrender of nominal rights These benefits the writer explains, be obtained at the expense of Japan for what we doing is to curry favor with the Fflpnos in order to induce them to discriminate against Japan csc imports and to increase our trade with the islands
 Many Americans will be grateful for this clear and simple explanation of national program with respect to the Philippines. There has been a wide spread impression in the United States that our Philippine policy has been bungling and confused. Evidently we have been mistaken it has been par ticularly shrewd and well calculated from the point of view of our national interest
 It would be interesting to know whether the Japan ese coresondngly in the dark concerning the true intent of their government toward China

when high school football in most of
the rest of the country is forgotten.
Weather has something to do with
the class of football developed down
here in the Southwest. Even the
worst days of winter are seldom Sc
we're enough to interfere with sand
lot and campus sports. Thus Texas
boys years of play are longer.
Remarkable, too, is the preponG or-
ance of local talent on the teams of
S. M. U. and T. C. U. There are II
Dallas players on the champion

The locals polished off & week

And the two teams will continue
to hold the spotlight until New
Years Day when S. M. U. meets
Stanford in CALIFORNIA; Rose Bowl
and T. c. U. plays Louisiana State
University in the Sugar Bowl game
at New Orleans.
S. M. u, winner of the national
football championship represented
by the Knute Rockne trophy, is
only some 80 miles from T. G. u,
which ranked fourth in most of the
expert rating systems and which was
defeated only by the S. M. U. Mus
tangS.
Quite as remarkable as the cali
Der of the football played by both
teams is the fact that practically
the entire membership of the two
squads is from Texas. And therein
lies the answer to the question.
These Texas boys are the prod
ucts of one of the greatest athletic
machines IN the country. They are
graduates of the Texas Interschol-
astic League, a closely knit high
school organization which decides
the champion in everything scholas-
tic and athletic, and that includes
football.

piece of football that no marked
changes will be made in the rules
or the conduct O. the sport, the
coaches insist the goal posts will
be returned to the goal line. AS
YOU know at present they are 10
yards back, the theory being that
this is a safety measure. With the
posts back there is no danger Of
a plunging ball carrier crashing his
skull against the uprigptS.
Most all the changes in the rules
and conduct of football are inspired
by the coaches, who, with an iso-
lated exception here and there, see
the game almost wholly from the
coaches point Of view. They seek
to make it an exact science and,
as far as possible, eliminate all pos
Sible fluke victorieS-or defeats.
Particularly defeats.
So many important games were
lost this year by the failure to kick
the point after touchdown that the
coaches have decided the goal posts
should be brought back to their
original position. Personally, l don't
think this is vital matter either
from the standpoint of safety to
the players or the result of the
game.
1t would be simple to contrive goal
posts of qualities less lethal than
solid oak, This would minimize the
element Of player danger, except in
cases where the skulls were eXcep-
tionally soft. Shall we say in the
cases of sophomores? But the point
have in mind is that no matter
where the goal posts are it will still
require a good kicker to get the
ball over the cross-bar.
