Colonel M. A. Dates, of the Journal,
was To years of age last Saturday.
June 2, ami in honor of the event, v.e
were the recipient of many useful
and valuable tokens from our friend;
at home and some from friends
abroad, and congratulation letters
from friends of former years, amonjc
whom were Hon. Champ Clark,
speaker of the house of representa
tives; Hon. A. M. Dockeny, third as
sistant postmaster general; Hon. E.
S. Carver and Hon. John C. Dawson
of Grant City, Mo. Mr. Dawson is
president of the Citizens' hank, and
Mr. Garvcy- has represented his coun
ty in the Missouri legislature for
several years, and in the earlier days
was well known over Missouri as a
prominent politician. We also re
ceived letters from Attorney General
Willis Reed, Ex-Governor John II.
Morchead, Licutcnar.t Governor Ed
gar Howard, and last hut not least,
ly any means, our good friend, Sen
ator G. M. Hitchcock, who has so aldy
represented Nebraska in the upper
house of congress. We also desire to
return our most sincere and grateful
thanks to home friends who so liber
ally remembered us on this auspicious
occasion, with the hope that we may
be able to remember them in a like
event. It was really one of tha
greatest pleasures of our life to lit
thus remembered, the memory of
which will be with us to our dyinj;
day. Again we return our sincere
gratitude, and may your shadow.',
never grow less.

THAU IN ADVANCE
DRAFTING THE COAL INDUSTRY
In its plea for government regula
tion of the coal industry, including
price-fixing, the Federal Trade , com
mission testifies to conditions of con
fusion which have operated severely
against consumers and in favor of
unscrupulous producers and dealers.
Although shipments of bituminous
coal last year increased from 443,
000,000 to 500,000,000 tons, nearly 15
per cent, they fell short of the de
mand and stocks in storage were de
pleted. The inequitable distribution
of cars, delays in delivery, added to
the greed of mine owners, who are
'demanding prices from 50 per cent
to several hundred per cent over the
cost of their output," resulted in
great profits to certain operators and
hardship to consumers, industrial and
domestic. The comm'f.siou also com
plains of the "intolerable abuses thai
marked the activities of certain ele
ments of the anthracite trade during
recent months," to which it had pre
viously directed a pointed warning.
This situation cannot be permitted
to continue if the nation is to prosc-
ule the war with vigor and clliciency.
oal mining is a basic industry which
must be conducted in such a way as
to contribute to the use of the na
tion's full streigth. There must be
complete co-operation between the
coal operators and the railroads, and
f it cannot be secured by voluntary
.tction on both sides, the government,
in furtherance of the policy of na
tional defense, must intervene and as-
umc control.
To maintain coal prices at reason
able level and to put a stop to extor-
iunatc practices of producers and
distributors should be just as much a
pait of the government's function as
. war power as to insure industrial
uul military activity in other direc-
ions. New York World.
-:o:-
West Virginia legislators have just
incubated a new law requiring every
able-bodied citizen of that state be
tween 10 and 00 to work at least
thirty-six hours a week. "Was this
aimed at the ball players, the sum
mer boarders, the idle rich, or the
three classes named and more? Pre
sumably ''work" is not restricted to
manual employment, for the activ
ities of lawmakers would naturally
be recognized. If this extraordinary
invasion of personal rights should be
upheld by the courts, West Virginia
joy-riders will be prompt to seek pas
tures new.
:o:
The Irish have their opportunity.
now that they will be allowed to
choose their own brand of home rule(
But the prospect of agreement among
themselves is far from promising, and
that the leading agitators are ready
to lose their occupations by consent
ing to a lasting settlement is still
more doubtful. Let us hope, however.
that the Irish people will get together
and act wisely in spite of some of
their leaders.
Strange as it may seem, President
Wilson has been asked by a native
American why wc arc at war with
Germany. He has pointedly replied
that it is because of the "long and
overwhelming" list of wrongs "perpe
trated against the rights, the com
merce and the citizens of the United
States," wrongs that "no nation
which respected itself or the rights of
humanity could have borne any
longer."
-:o:-
Dr. Van Dyke's "Homeward Dound"
poem aptly describes a passage across
the Atlantic as "a game of hide am
reck with murderers in the dark," for
the submarine plays the role, rot of
the fair fighter in the open, but of
the creeping assassin who stabs in
the back.
PKU
"HARD TIMES SLACKERS.
The sooner a lot of business men
and others cease the cry that the war
has demoralized business the better it
will be for everybody. If these same
people will give the time thus spent
to further the interests of the com
munity they will be surprised to find
that nobody has been hurt. The plain
truth is that the great central west
has not felt the war at all, and will
not, unless it be extended over a long
period of time. The only way in
which the war has been felt in com
munities like this through the tre
mendous advance in prices of the
common necessities, which has cre
ated a burden for the man of mod
crate and fixed income; and this is
very largely due to artificial causes
and manipulaion of markets. The
central west now has the greatest
natural resources and productiveness j
in its history and an incalculably
greater amount of actual cash than
ever before.
Vilues rot alone of I
land but of all its products are now
on the average immensely greater
than ever before and there is almost
unlimited demand far labor of every
kind from the untrained boy for farm
work, to the most skilled mechanic.
Al! of this noise about demoralized
business is upon the tongues of those
who talk it and not borne out by the
facts in any essential. The panic of
11)07 hit this country with ten-fold
more force and financial disaster than
would one or two or three years of
the present condition bring about. I-et
s get this all out of our system and
for the common good keep things
moving as they must move. A set of
hard times slackers" in the commun
ity can do more damage than all the
rest combined. Aurora Sun.
:o:
LIFE AND DEATH.
An editorial in a prominent news
paper on "Life and Death," inspired
by the fact that hundreds of thou
sands of young Americans are to risk
their lives on the battle front, is
chiefly remarkable for its lack of any
mention of a future life. One might
suppose that the writer had never
leard of any such thing and that the
general public addressed is equally
uninformed on a vital subject. Per-
iaps it will be different months hence
when we as a nation shall have really
ooked on death and our thoughts
shall have turned a little more to
ward eternity. Already it is differ
ent among the battling nations of Eu
rope, whence again and again have
come reports of revivals of re-
igion" among both soldiers and civil
ians. According to the accounts, there
is a deep stirring even on the higher
levels of education and intelligence.
II. G. Wells, the socialist and materialistic-
novelist, for example, has
just written a book in order to pro
claim that he has "found God."
Undoubtedly a quickening of man
kind on the spiritual side is a part of
the good to come out of the evil of
the great war, and such quickening
is needed, for, absorbed in earthly
pursuits, too many of us become like
miles under ground, with little time
or taste or capacity for lifting our
eyes to the stars shining in the heav
ens. Yet we may well believe that
the great heart of humanity has
never ceases to beat in rhythm with
the unseen forces of a spiritual realm
none the less real because invisible to
l WOO liiVSl kill Olllt 1 11V 111V11 t iv
have gone down to the sea in ships,
the men who have faced death in the
shock of battle, the men who have
slept under the stars and witnessed
the miracle of dawn, the men and
women who have followed duty into
strife and pain with brave and hope
ful hearts, the men and women who
have performed their daily tasks
faithfully more for the sake of others
than for self, they who have not wor
shipped themselves only and have
striven to do justice and love mercy
surely these have not ceased to be
conscious of a great beyond, the real
dwelling-place of the soul for a time
only adjoined to its' mortal tenement.
Those engaged in spading gardens
say there are many worms in the
ground, and they also say that thin
is a sign there are plenty of fish in
the streams. Alright, now go after
them, boys.

ITALIAN WAR COMMISSION.
The pilgrimage of the Italian war
commission to Mount Vernon was
scarcely less impressive than that of
J
the French and English. "The bronze
wreath," said the Prince of Udine..
"which v.e have come to lay upon thy
tomb of your great national hero,
and which we have brought from
Rome, is such as used to be offered to
Roman heroes, it represents the
homage of the Italian nation to the
man who symbolizes the purest tradi
tions anil the most noble aspirations
of the American spirit." Standing on
hallowed ground, the commission did
not stop at this tribute to Washing
ton, but solemnly pledged the for
tunes and the men of Italy to the
common cause, the prince adding in
the name of the people of his nation:
"I wish solemnly to declare, in this
place sacred to the American nation,
that we shall never lay down our
arms until our liberty, and the liber
ties of the peoples who are suffering
with us, shall be rendered safe
' I against all surprise and all insolence."
Washington, who himself entered into
a war-league with a nation of Europe
in the name of liberty, could not have
asked more than this.
:o:
The young American doctors and
Red Cross assistants who are going
or have gone to Europe are brave
men. There was a time when to fire
on the Red Cross was supposed to be
a shameful, almost unbelievable, out
rage, but the Germans have put an
end to that so far as they are con
cerned. "Frightfulness" desires ev
ery wounded enemy to be left to die
and the German sharpshooters regu
larly pick off red-crossed Samaritans
on their errands of mercy. The
members of the British and French
medical corps have been slaughtered
like sheep, and hence the great cry
for American aid in this line. The
unbelievable day has come when Red
Cross work is more hazardous even
than the life in the trenches.
