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

| 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

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

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.
