Thanks to Governor Pinchot, the
<-oal strike may he settled. It is
said workers will get $32,600,000
more and the, public will pay
$50,000,000 more annually. Who
gets the > odd change—seventeen
and a half million dollars?
As matters stand, even increased
cost at the mines would mean
cheaper coal for consumers, and
what is more important enough
* coal. Now some mine owners sell
coal to jobbers and these charge
the dealer $4 to $6 a ton bonus—
which the consumer pays.
Incidentally, hundreds of old
established coal dealers are being
driven out of business by a con
spiracy that ought to land some
body in jail. Attorney General
Daugherty ought to investigate
that. He will find that new firms
are established to crowd out the
old and steal their retail trade,
ft’s easy, when the old firms c|n’t
get coal.
Yon learn from Standard Oil
the value of really big organiza
tion. Japan needs fuel. Mr. Rocke
feller’s company can send In one
shipment, instantly, 160,000 sep
arate 10-gallon cans of kerosene.
No small concern could do that.
The world needs organizations
constantly bigger, plus citizenship
intelligent enough to control such
organizations.
If alarming reports about
cholera in Japan be confirmed, the
whole world might feel the effects
of the earthquake. Cholera spreads
as do the earth tremors. In that
case the Rockefeller organisation
would again 'be useful. In Asia
the Rockefeller Institute has estab
lished institutions, thoroughly
equipped with scientists and
laboratory supplies for fighting
disease. These would be put to
work at once.
It is interesting to think that a
man in his old age, with power
based on intelligence and money
accumulated, can send through the
air or under the water, an order
rftat will fight and curb disease on
the other side of the earth. It is
more romantic than the Cid, or
Caesar galloping around Aleala, to
anybody with the imagination of a
chipmunk. '
The Japanese know how to giva.
The Mitsui and Mitsubishi families
*—they handle finance by families
over there—each gives two and a
half millions to the earthquake
victims. A little while ago Japan
ese business men were considered
the lowest of all classes—below the
ditch diggers. That was changed.
l^fhnes, richest man in Ger
many—perhaps richest in the
world in real wealth—offers to
save German finance by becoming
practically a dictator. That is in
line with history. The man con
trolling the soldiers has always
ruled. Dollars are the real soldien
today.
And, by the way, before yon
weep for “poor Germany, .ruled
by cash” fined out to what extent
cash rules your own country. For
instance, see how long it will take
you to fight a just cause through
the law courts and how far you
will go if you have no money. You
won’t ^go far.,
A while ago, anybody asking
government to fix the price of oil
would have been called an anarch
ist by the moderates, and murder
ous bolshevik by real tories. Now
in Texas, the oil men themselves
ask the state government to fix a
price. When prices get sick, any
doctor is welcome.
President Coolidge and Secre
tary Weeks confer with Henry
Ford about Muscle Shoals. That
is political wisdom. Let Henry
Ford offer this plank next year:
“I will give you farmers cheap
fertilizer from Muscle Shoals in
spite of the republicans if you elect
me.”1 It would worry the repub
licans.

League Failure
Charged to Two
British Leaders
Action in Allowing Council of
Envoys to Settle Corfu
Dispute Is Held
Blunder.
X _
By IntrmiU fanlce
London, Sept. 9.—Denouncing For
eign Minister Curzon and Lord Rob
ert Cecil of the league of nation*
council as "blunderers who rushed
in where angels feared to tread,” J.
L. Garvin, in the Sunday Observer,
charges that the foreign minister and
Cecil have ruined the league's credit
throughout Europe and discredited
it more completely than ever in the
United States.
He declares that Italy, summoned
to submit to the league, has defied
it and has won. "Upon no Issue has
the league dared to stand up against
France's late outrages in the Ruhr,"
says Garvin. "Furthermore, if there
had never been a Ruhr Invasion there
never would have been a bombard
ment of Corfu.
"The league will never be worthy
of the name until it includes Ger
many and Russia in its membership.
Meanwhile the council of ambassa
dors at Paris has taken the Graeco
Italian'' dispute out of the hands of
the league, and until the latter body
is supported by a majority of the
white race it cannot function effec
tively and insure general peace.”
The foreign office insists that the
league, in submitting to the over
riding of its authority by the ambas
sadors’ conference, had made a ges
ture which will lead to a peaceful
settlement, and therefore claims a
triumph for the papier mache or
ganization that meets at Geneva.
Pershing Says U. S.

Uatrobe, Pa., Sept. 9.—America can
best encourage peace among the na

proofs of our own stability.'’ Gen.
John J. Pershing declared Saturday in
an address at the dedication of a
monument to the memory of Fred
erick Pershing, founder of the family.
The dedication was a feature of the
annual reunion of the Pershing fam
ily.
General Pershing detailed the
growth of America through ‘‘suc
cessive wave* of fawnlgratlon'’ and
declared "he malnteance of high
standards Is more urgent than ever.”
"We must zealously guard America
against becoming an asylum for the
criminal or pauper classes from
abroad,” he asserted, “or a retreat
for the irresponsible proponents of
i Intrigue or destruction.
"We bear no ill-will against peoples
from other lands, but we must ad
mit only those who, like our great
ancestor, fully appreciate and accept
the fine spirit of gmerlca and what
It stands for."

Circus Horses Nowadays Get
Thorough Schooling in Paces
Trainer* Give Much Attention
to Education of the Steed*
They Exhibit.
Theie are more thoroughbred
horse* this year with the Ringling
Brothers and Barnum * Bailey cir
cuses than ever before assembled
with these great tented enterprise*.
Fortunes have been Invested In this
department alone, and the manage
ment feels Justified In claiming to
possess the finest collection of horse
flesh that money can buy. Within
the circus equerry will be found tHree
Imported companies of Hungarian
stallions, whose movements are guid
ed and directed by the most famous
horse trainers In clrcusdom—Manuel
Herzog, John Agee and Rudolph
Mayer. Then there are the "haute
eeole” or "high school” horses ridden
by noted American and European
riders. The air of breeding and dis
tinction with which these men carry
themselves on horseback, and their
immaculate riding- attire, might lead
on* to suppose them aristocrats en
joying a canter In the Champs
Elysees of Paris.
"How do,you train a manage horse
for the circus?” was the question
asked Frank Miller, who rides Mis
souri Girl, a beautiful blood bay mare
with blat-k mane and tall.
"Training a manage horse,” said
Mr. Miller, "la very much Ilk* play
ing the piano. An Intelligent animal
like Missouri Girl is the piano, and
her rider touches the keys dellcqtely,
but unerringly. I guide her by the
‘band, press her flank gently by the
heel, and she responds at once. Mis
souri Girl execute** nine different
solos and has five gaits—a running
walk, a trot, a canter, a "rack" and
a slow walk.”
“Blit how did you get her to learn
the swinging two-step?”
"She took to It almost instinctive
ly. There Is no routine for teaching
such a sensitive beast. A horse Is
like a child, and a sparing use of the
whip has the same salutary effect.
When I found that Missouri Girl had
a swinging gait, I had no difficulty
In teaching her to emphasize it. First,
I ‘pick’ her by the mouth—any rider
knows what that means—and then
I touch her lightly with the whip.
Her execution Is a* perfect an a
dancer's on a ballroom floor, and
more than that, It never varies. I
was the first to break her, and spent
about IS months on her before I
Introduced her In the ring She
comes from fine Missouri and Ken
tucky saddle stock. She's IS hands,
1 Inch high and worth every cent of
*12,000.”
Mr. Miller speaks wit|[ authority,
having devoted all his life to training
horses. HI talks about them an af
fectionately as a proud parent would
speak of a son who had won honors
at Harvard. Since ISfcO Mr. Miller
has always had a "high school” horse,
although he has always been a bare
back rider and for ten years an
equeatrlan director. Tears dimmed
his eye* when he spoke lovingly of
a wonderful Iron-gray, Billy D., that
he lost In South America. This
horse walked gracefully on hta bind
leg*—ft most difficult achievement.
He also owned a black atallian for
five year*,* King George, for whom
be paid IK.0O0. Mr. Miller has never
worked in a European circus, but
he spent three yearn in Mexico with
the Orrin Brothers’ circus, lie la an
expert In his line, and his qluot man
ner of talking is Indicative of the
marvelous coipmand he possesses
over Ills equlhe pupils.

Nebraska Man Fined

in Buffalo Tram Car
Buffalo,. N. Y.f Sept. 9.—Elmer
Schultz of Millard, Neb., came to
Buffalo, N. Y., to see the sights.
He boarded a street ear, lighted
a cigaret, and was promptly ar
rested.
Without any undue deliberation
Judge Lainson of Buffalo fined Mr.
Schultz of Millard $10 for smoking
on the street car.
"They do it in Millard," argued
Mr. Schultz. "No one is ever ar
rested for smoking cigaret* in
street cars in Millard." \
The judge had never been in Mil
lard, and he was visibly impressed
with this argument.
"W'cll, it simply Isn’t being done
here In Buffalo," the judge replied,
"and I can’t see why they don’t
arrest ’em for smoking In street
car* in Millard, either."
"That’s easy; Millard has no
street cars,” retorted Schultz, pay

Erin Given Glad
Hand by League j
—
Council Will Act Tomorrow
on Admitting Irish
Free State.
By tunrlsUd Press.
Geneva, Sept. 9.—An Impressive
demonstration of welcome and friend
ship for the Irish free state featured
this evening's meeting of the league
of nations wheti, by the unanimous
vote of the membership commission,
Ireland was recommended for admis
sion. On Monday it will become a
formal part of the league by the ac
tion of the assembly. England,
France, China, Persia and the spokes
men for other lands participated In
the demonstration of friendliness.
Thus, the most palpitating week in
the history of the league of nations
closes with genera) rejoicing that the
Greco-Itallan crisis offers good pros
pects of settlement because of the co
operative activities of the council of
the league, but with the conviction
among the delegates generally that
the question of the league's compe
tency to act directly in such a crisis
must be settled once and for all.
They emphasize tbal if the Italian
rejection of the league’s intervention
is allowed to go unquestioned, a
destructive precedent will have been
established. to whfch any member
State in the future can refer as Jus
tification for ignoring the statutes
of the league.
There is a clearly defined and grow
ing opinion that the question of com
petency must be passed upon either
by the council or by the assembly.
Some delegations think the Italian
attitude toward the league is a purely
political question and that every for
eign office or every member country
should be forced to go on public rec
ord as whether they do or do'not
uphold the position of the Roman gov
ernment.
There are nther delegations which
opine that in view of the existence
of the council of ambassadors, whose
agents the murdered Italian ministry
mission webe, the question of the
league's competency is a purely Ju
ridical question. Hence their idea is
that the permanent court of interna
tional Justice should be asked to give
an advisory opinion as to the league's
competency.
Next week is expected to bring
some developments on this case of
competency which all the delegatee,
and especially those representing
smaller world states, seem to think
so vital to the league's future, and
supremely important to the cause of
international peace.

See these shingles—in attractive crushed slate
