Coal Supplies and Coal Price?* From the Christian Science Monitor. The fact seems to have been clearly established, a* 'he recent conference between members of the coal production-eo.niiiitu-e oi Uie couueil of national defense and the bituminous coal operators, that there has been, for some time at least, absolutely !io relation of coal priees to coal supplies in the United States. Brought face to late with what appeared to be the undesirable alternative ol reducing prices or submitting to virtual government control of the mines and their output, the operators, controlling practically all the mines east of the Mississippi river, agreed to accept a maximum price lor coal, •n both government and private orders, subject to a still further reduction in case it should be determined, upon federal investigation, that their product, after the payment of a reasonable profit, could be delivered to the railroads at a lower price. At the time the agreement referred to was reached, a federal, judge and jury in New York city were engaged in the trial of a number of coal mine operators charged with having conspired to maintain, for coal to be delivered in New York, the identical price agreed upon at the conference. Perhaps because of the possible «i fcct of the agreement upon the outcome of this trial, the secretary of war promptly repudiated it, in so far as the government might have been bound by its terms. The coal operators, however, claim to be ready to carry out the provisions of the agreement, and state that they have received notice that there has been no repudiation of the agree ment in so far as it applies to private contracts. inert; are aimnuaiu lmiiuauu-uB mai me uvi foel greatly aggrieved, although the tentative price agreement under ■which they are hound is considerably lower than the prices recently prevailing in all sections of their territory. The alleged illegal agree ment which was made the basis of the prosecution in the case in •which the secretary of war apparently wished to avoid prejudicing the government’s contentions, is declared to have established identically the selling price at which the operators are now required to supply coal to private purchasers. It does not seem probable, therefore, that the operators will suffer greatly because of the present arrangement. The chief advantage which the public should gain as a result of the agreement on the part of the operators would seem to be the ef fective elimination of the coal speculators. As a matter of fact, the price of coal on board cars at the mines has in no sense controlled the price of coal to retail dealers, or to any but the larger among the consumers. The output of the mines has been bought up by the spec ulators, at prices not disclosed to retailers and consumers, and held indefinitely, frequently under the pretext that cars for its transpor tation could not be obtained. It should be possible now, with the maximum price of coal at the mines established, for the ultimate con sumer to buy at that price, plus the cost of carriage and a reasonable profit to the retailer. The fact that there is an abundance of coal to be mined, sufficient men to take it from the ground, and cars enough to carry it to its destination, should be, under the conditions estab lished, a guaranty of release from the imposition which has been en dured. The Pleasures of Fright in England From the Spectator, London. No one who has lived in London through the various air raids can any longer believe the platitudinous pretension that human fear ran oniy be held in check by discipline and duty. Excitement, curi rsity, sheer irresponsibility, the mysterious attraction of risk, the Inysterious desire to get to the center (to be ”in it”), and the off chance of being useful are, each sufficient to overcome fear in the Cockney. The Londoner may call out for official protection, but he will not take common precautions. The authorities complain that if warning be given, it will be regarded as a signal to rush into the streets, see what can be seen, increase one’s experience, add to one’s memories, and have a tale to tell when it is over. Now it cannot be denied that there is a side to all this light hearted pluck with which we have no special need to be pleased. On the other hand, how terribly ashamed we should be if it were otherwise—if the hostile airplanes could drive us all to our holes, empty the streets, and lead every man, woman and child to take the precautions which it is the duty of all officials to scold and persuade them into. This light hearted courage of the public must sometimes, we think, seem to those upon whom the fearful thunderbolt has fallen—those who have seen the shattered bodies of their children carried out from the debris of a ruined school—as callousness. Common courage, the sort untinged by con scious sacrifice, has in it such a streak. There is so little refined gold in human nature. It glitters in the quartz. We must not expect to find it in the lump. Complete sympathy and careless courage are found in great natures only; but it must be remembered that, the coward’s sympathy is useless, even where it exists. Anyhow, there are vast numbers to whom the excitement of a new danger would appear pleasurable, and many others whose ordinary composure it is nowerless to ruffle. During the raid which took place on June Id, a young lieutenant standing on one of the bridges read a motoring paper in the intervals of looking out for the raiders and listening to the explosions. Women with babies in perambulators charged along the pavement apparently as merry aa their infants, just as we have all seen nurses at the seaside run to avoid a big wave, and as though a wetting, not destruction, was what the roaring noise portended. Stout old gentlemen as well as boys climbed on to a wall to see what they could, instead of taking cover. “Hardly safe in the streets now!” said a workman, in a tone of some thing like exultation, in a ’bus, listening with a face of cheerful interest to the quick travelling news which explained the thundery noise he had been describing. He was an elderly man, and seemed to feel that now he was “in it” like the youngest of them—almost at the front as it were. A very real, if hardly conscious, desire to share the troubles of the soldiers lies very near the spring of this feeling, which is not, however, unconnected with the alert determination of the Londoner not to be bored, to enjoy whatever variety life sends him, even though it be the risk of death. We do not want to be grudging of praise, but we should fall into the danger of sentimental ity if we regarded this state of feeling as wholly new or wholly fine. It is partly new and partly laudable, but something of the same kind The Banquet Is Hoovered. From the Minneapolis Journal. Hang the halo on Herbert Hoover! No ordinary food administrator Is he, but a real benefactor of mankind. For has he not set out to abolish the banquet? Has he not advised the lodge brethren, the college allumni, the testimonial dinner grivers. the farewell feedsters, and all the other gentry who drag us out o’ nights for feasts of reason and flows of soul, to give up the practice until the war Is over? For. look you, Mr. Hoover is not merely Slaving us from the food customarily served at banquets. He is also saving us from a lot of other things. No more shall the after dinner speaker, "totally unprepared as he is,” devastate us with his rhetoric. No more shall he be re minded of a story. No more, when high hopes that he was about to sit down had been generated, shall he be able to say, "Speaking seriously, however,” and then start In afresh. Along with him into limbo shall go the toastmaster with his "We have with us tonight,” and his "Though the hour Is late, 1 cannot forbear calling upon Mr. Bo-and-So.” And the male quartet, with its harmonies, we shall now escape. Along with It shall go all those other vadueville Interruptions that have helped make din s'' Tier nights hideous. [' Now if Mr. Hoover could also manage ^ to abolish those modest little noonday luncheons, to which helpless committees are bidden, with the idea that, while the table d'hote is disposed of, weighty prob lems. social, economic, political or re ligious, can be talked to a happy solu tion! The waste of food and philosophy at affairs of this kind must^be somftlilng tremendous in Uis aggregate. Reed, of Missouri. Prom the Kansas City Star. Onoe more it is Reed, of Missouri, who is found opposing the president, blocking urgent war legislation, appealing to class passion, assailing character, impugning motives. Reed, of Missouri, attacking Hoove**, is running true to form. Reed, of I Missouri, fighting against food control, is i privilege consistently against the adminis tration and consistently on the side of hidden privilege. Reed. of Missouri, whether representing the worst in poli tics apd corporation interests in Kansas City or fining up with the war profiteers in the Senate, is Reed, of Missouri, ail the time. Before he was Reed, of Missouri, and ! gave the *t*.te unenviable notoriety in the ; Senate, he was Reed, of Kansas City, and was different in no material reepect ex i cept as regarded the extent *.»f his eapae 1 ity for harm. In Kansas City he was always to be found on the side of the anti public force*. He had and has a natural predilection for the malign and the dark some in politic* and attorneytsm. He con sorted and consorts by preference with those who work under cover. He hated and hates the light and men who do things in the light. Reed, of Kansas City, was known here for exactly what Reed, of Missouri, ia coming to be know’ll in the Senate and in the country. Those who best knew Reed, of Kansas City, can understand hi* personal animus to Hoover. Hopeless Hindenburg. From the IJncoln, Neb., State Journal. Hindenburg was quoted again yester day as depending on the submarine* to se cure a “German peace.” Tilts tar it aban donment by its own commander of the German army as a means of victory if? almost significant..

A Prayer in Congress in 1379, by Rov. J. Duche. O Lord, our heavenly Father, high and mighty king of kings, and Lord of lord, v ho dost from Thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and roignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the kingdoms, em pires and governments, look down iu merry, we lies' eeh I’hee, on these American states, who have lied to Thee from the rod of the oppressor, and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring henceforth to In dependent only on Thee; to 'i’hee they have appealed tor ihe righteousness of their cause; to The do they now tool lor that countenance and support which Thou alone cans* ■jive; take them, therefore, heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in council and valor *• in the Held; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of iheir cause, and if they persist in their sanguinary pur pose, oh, let the voice of Thine, own unerring justice sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop tin weapons of war from their unnerved hands in ihe day of battle! Be thou present, O God of wisdom, ami direct, the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation, that the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, har mony and peace may be effectually restored and truth and justice, religion and piety pretail and flourish among thy people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them and the millions they here represent such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world, and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. All this we ask iu the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy sou, our savior. Amen. -———-— - | STETTIN, THE SCENE OF I SERIOUS FOOD RIOTS j “In few cities of the German empire would economic unrest and industrial disturbances have a more profound effect upon the kaiser’s prosecution of the war than in Stettin, where' serious food riots are reported to have occurred recently.'' fiays a war geograp bulletin issued from the Washington headquarters of the Na tional Geographic Society. “it is in a suburb of Scttin that the great Vulcan ship yards are located, where so many of the German warships are built. Even hi peace times the Vulcan works, covering more than 70 acres, em ployed 8.C00 men and this number has, of course, been vastly augmented since tlie Prussians began with feverish haste to multiply the units of their sinister submarine fleets. “Stettin’s importance to German arms does not end with its ship building activities, however. Locomotives, boilers and machinery of various kinds n c munti- j factured here, while the clothing mill3, j employing more than 10.000 men. women and. children, are probably mobilised at this time for the production of uniforms for the Prussian soldiers. “Stettin Is ?4 miles,by rail northeast cf •Berlin. It has a population of 233 0QO nrd is built on both banks of the River Oder, about 17 miles above its entrance into the Stottiner Haff. a landlocked arm of the Bailie. Vessels drawing as much as 23 feet of water can discharge their cargoes here, especially in the new free h.«rboi\ adjacent to the suburb of Lastadie. with qu*gys having a total length of more than 14,000 feet. Next to Hamburg and Biom erhacen. more ships annually entered and cleared from Stettin before the, war than at any other port in Germany. The city may be considered the seaport for Ber lin. It is the capital and principal city of the province of Pomerania. KNOW THE MILK YOU GET. If you contemplate going to Wash ington, D. C„ you may want to know from whom to buy milk. If so, you should write, the district health depart ment for a copy of their monthly bulletin on the milk supply of the city. If you want more confirmation you can go to the health deportment and get a full report on the dealer that you think, of patronizing. The monthly bulletin gives the score for the preceding six months of every milk deaJer in the city. The April bulletin says that A. T. Tanner was selling milk with a score of 52.06 in competition with F. A. Blun der., whose milk had a score of 91.23. This is the widest range in the scores of the ordinary milks. The highest score was that of G. M. Oyster's certi fied milk, but that sold for 6 cents ! more than the market price for ordi I nary milk. Twenty-seven dealers had ! a score higher than 80, so that there I is plenty of good milk from which to select. The method scoring is as follows: A theoretically perfect milk would score 16 2-3 on each of the following points: dairy farm, equipment, and methods; dairy cattle, health and cleanliness; dairy equipment and methods; nutri tion value of milk as determined by chemical analysis; 33 1-3 is given for a perfect score on wholesomeness, cleanliness, and keeping qualities of the milk as determined by bacteriological analysis. | In determining the value of bac 1 terial analysis a count of less than 1 10,000 counts as perfect. One to two . million bacteria in raw milk or 60,000 to I 70,000 in pasteurized milk count as 40 per cent of perfect. It is assumed that in middle grades of milk the num ber of bacteria runs naturally about 150 times as high as in pasteurized milk. The score is ntit based on a single in spection or a single laboratory exam 1 ination, but on a series of such running back over several months. I In Washington the law requires that i every farmer producing milk for the j market must taike out a permit to do so. ! He may be in Pennsylvania, a hundred 1 or more miles away, and he may sell I his milk to some dairyman in the city, j The dairyman must display in his dairy the names and addresses of ail farmers i from whom he purchases milk. The bulletin written by Dr. Wood ward emphasizes the purchaser’s duty In properly keeping as well as in pur chasing milk. It says that the milk bottle should be wiped clean and placed In the refrigerator immediately after being delivered. It is best to keep the milk in the ice chamber against the ice. If milk is to be emptied into a pitcher the pitcher must be scalded immedi ately before being used. All receptacles ased for milk must be kept scrupulous ty clean. War Prosperity. From the New York Times. Theorists may differ about the whole •omeness of war prosperity, hut the tax .’©Hector's returns cannot be disputed. The federal internal revenue tax total for the rear ending with June was $*$09,215,997. That is a maximum and an increase of learly $300,000,000. Income taxes alone in creased $235,000,000, divided about equally between corporations and individuals. The income tax total of $300,000,000 is now five fold the original total and shows signs of rigorous growth still. New' York’s six aeighboring districts contributed $19.000,000, nearly a quarter of the whole. Internal revenue alone exceeds Internal revenue tnd customs together last yar, and this rear’s customs will be larger than last rear’s. These great growths are only part ly due to the activity of trade- to which they are proportioned. They are partly Sue also to added taxes on wines, amuse ments. tobacco and sundry other indul gences. These items annot he separated now. and the totals are still subject to idditions from belated and distant re turns, but it is sure that 11.000,<*0o more failons of whisky were drunk than ever Before, arid that the tobacco tax is $12,000, larger than ever. Fnough is known to make assurance loubly sure that th^ country has been *oth busy and self indulgent. Never have Jhe expenditures on costly superfluities Been larger than at the time when waste Has been declared sinful and economy a necessity to the nation's self preservation. Amnesty and a New Deal. From the Boston Advertiser. The appointment of a cummltte.e of in surance company officials l>y the secre tary of the treasury to work out a plan for insuring the lives of me: in the va rious war services is sound *e. There is a growing and very admirable tend ency observable among the federal de partments to utilize the business brains of the county. Ordinarily the public of ficial is exceedingly Intolerant of any out side advice or suggestion. Our officials have pretty consistently declined to avail themselves of the help of any but their own subordinates. The change of atti tude In this respect should bo productive .of much good. We hope the next decade wl’d witness a changed attitude on the part of the government toward tin* successful busi ness men ojf the community. In the re cent past, there has been a very unfor tunate tendency to regard all sut h men with suspicion, which has hurt both the government and business. We hold nc brief for the business methods of some of our captains of industry during the j last part of the 19th century or the first few' years of this century. Much was done f that shouldn’t have been tolerated, and ; we believe the business men. thit* big busi ness men, are as a class as gratified at the ending of old abuses anyone else. P.ig business today is mighty well and honestly managed and commands the abl est business brains of the country. The recognition of this by the government should lead to much improvement in the relations between government and busi ness. The Great Gray Army. From the Youth’s Companion. More an*.l more the streets, the side walks, the railway cars, the lobbies of hotels and other public places begin to fill with sober faced men in khaki. The nation had called her young men, and they are coming, as they have always come. In a little while they will begin to march, and we whom age or other dis ability has kept out of the ranks shall see what only a few generations in all history have been privileged to behold. In front of the long lines that will make their way from the training camps to the sea, and beside them and among them, will march the past. Other eyes than those of Americans may not see the shad owy figures, but we shall see and know them. There will he tall men In buckskin shirts and fringed leggings, with long hair and coonskin caps, and bearing powder horns and flintlock rifles. We saw them once marching from Virginia to Cam bridge, Maas,, 140 years ago. There will be farmers in short breeches and shirt sleeves, and sailors in wdde trousers and glazed hats, barefooted and bearing cut lasses an^ boarding pikes. There will bo men in buff and blue, in dark blue, in light blue and in butternut gray, and mounted men in wide hate, swinging free in tht saddle with the ease of the born plains man. All those shall march, and we who looV on shall see them; but the young men in khaki will feel their presence. Not as ghosts shall we see them, but as living spirits, and not as old men, but as the youths they were when they gave them selves to the country, even as the young men are giving themselves today. As victory floats before the figure of Sherman in St. Gaudens* magniflicent sculpture, so tradition marches ahead of our armies as they go abroad; the tradi tion of freedom that brought Morgan’s riflemen from the forests of the Alle ghenies, and sent Marlbn’s men into the swamps of the south, and led the New England farmers to Bunker Hill. Tradi tion such as that is a mighty force. The levies of 1917 and 1918, when they face ♦he German guns, will not forget their spiritual ancestry, nor will they prove un worthy of those who, although gone be fore, still lead and guide America; of Washington and Jackson and Scott; of Perry and Decatur; of Grant and Lee: of Parragut and Semmes; of Dewey and Lawton and Philip. Women Give Jewels to Jewish Fund. Chicago.—‘‘I have no money for the war relief fund, but 1 must give my Pit toward the relief of our people in the war countries. Here are my jewels, sell them and add the money to the fund.” This letter from a woman living in northern Iowa brought the biggest con tribution of the day to the Jewish war relief headquarters in the Oolunibis Me morial building. The woman’s name is withheld. The jewels which accompanied the letter are diamonds valued at $l,5u0. The committee will continue its efforts to secure a $1,000,000 i^ief furd fur ,khe Jews another \ve*k | MONEY LENDER PITIED POOR i — Chinese Shylock in Manchuri^ Gave Annual Sum for Relief Work to Relieve His Conscience. A wealthy Chinese money lender in Manchuria was recently convicted of making false declaration regarding robberies of Ids caravans by Mongolian bandits. His conscience troubled him to such an extent that lie offered to contribute an annual sum of $750 for the relief of the poor, East arid West says. Tilts money wfts made the basis of a fund for feeding the helpless nt Kungchullng. Manchuria is terribly poor, despite the mineral and agricultural riches ex tracted from its soil and rocks, all of which products are shipped abroad. There ore probably thousands of Indus trious natives unable,' by unremitting toll, to earn more than a meager liv ing. When to their natural difficulties are added the ravages of bandits and the evils of misgovernment, such ns now prevail in many parts of China, abject poverty and starvation must be the lot of tile people who, In the best of times, are only half fed.
