1. Respect for the law and maintenance of
order.
2. Speedy and certain punishment of crime
through the regular operation of the
courts.
3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of
" inefficiency lawlessness and corrup

SETTLING THE MINERS' WAGE.
When the miners and coal operators reas
sembled with Secretary Wilson to resume dis
cussion of differences, a new and encouraging
note was apparent. Ostensibly, the miners
were bent ou demanding all they asked for in
the beginning, and the operators determined to
insist that the war wage agreement still holds.
As a matter of truth, neither side had any se
rious intention of pursuing this attitude. The
men know they will not get support in unrea
sonable efforts to enforce their original pro
gram, while the operators are equally sure that
a new bargain must be struck.
It is within the range of possibilities that
before the affair is closed a commission wilt be
named to make inquiry into the entire range
of coal miners' employment. Enough has been
brought out already to support the statement
that the men have some well founded griev
ances. Just what these are and how to remove
them can only be determined- by a competent
inquiry. Such an inquiry was made in the
anthracite fields in 1892, and on the report then
made the operation of the mines- has since
been continuous, with wage and' working con
ditions subject to adjustment from time to time.
A similar investigation might be of equal serv
ice to the soft coal industry.
One of the prime factors in the situation
as it exists is the failure of the operators to
provide continuous employment for the miners.
This in turn rests on the inability of the mine
owners to obtain cars as fast as needed. Coal
mining and transportation, each a basic indus
try, are so closely related in this regard that
better co-operation is absolutely needed. When
steady work is furnished the men, at wages
based on full consideration of all that is in
volved in the service, one of the persistent
causes of industrial friction will have been re
moved. '
A careful inquiry made now will be worth
many times its cost to the country in the future.
' Socialists of Milwaukee having nominated
Victor Berger for congress again, will now go
about to convince the test of the country that

traitor.
Profa " in Abnormal Times
Free Speech in Old England.
We are often reminded that England is the
birthplace and home of free speech as we un
derstand it that there, if anywhere, persists
the inestimable right of the old Saxon tribes,
wherein any man was free to say whatever was
on his mind, accepting full responsibility for his
words. Exercise of this right frequently en
tailed personal inconvenience, and now and
then necessitated whatever of short fufieral serv
ice was in vogue. But it was free speech. So
John Bull has let the advocates of any. old idea,
no matter how radical and absurd, talk as
much as they cared to, holding that as long as
the pressure was not pent up it did not become
dangerous.
A limit exists for all mundane things, and
this has beeen reached in England, where zeal
ous prohibition advocates are extolling the
beauties of a bone-dry world. One other dearly
prized right of the free-born Briton, coming
down from an antiquity as remote as that of
free speech, is the right to drink whatever form
of beverage he fancies. Like the hero of the
Australian ballad, "Rum and gin and bitter
beers, anything to swell his head with it. was
all the same to him." So, when the 'exercise of
free speech begins to interfere with the exer
cise of the right to drink anything and every
thing, trouble is started.
Our British cousins must not delude them
selves with the though that riding a prohibi
tion speaker on a rail will discourage the prop
aganda. The London episode may be re
peated many times, but the crusade will not be
abandoned. Nothing can be more ' persistent
than a prohibitionist when once he gets started.
One of Burleson's Costly Blundert. ;
When the. telegraphs and telephones were,
seized by the government last year, war neces
sity was pleaded by the postmaster general as
an excuse for his action. This could not have
applied to the telephone, as that service was not
taken over until the end of the war , was in
sight. Generally throughout the land the
course was looked upon as a high-handed ex
hibition of autocratic power on part of Mr."
Burleson, totally uncalled for and not justified'
by any existing conditions. That it was costly
as well as outrageous is now shown by the re
quest of the postmaster general for an ap
propriation of $14,418,237 to pay the companies
the difference between the guaranty given them
and actual net earnings. .President Mackay of
the Postal company, who did not welcome the
intrusion of the government on the operation of
his concern, says his company has earned more
than the amount guaranteed. He announced
long ago that the increase of rates enforced by
the postmaster general was unnecessary. This
is part of aprivate quarrel, though, and is of
interest only as such. The outstanding fact is
that Mr. Burleson's brief try at managing the
wires cost the patrons not only the inconveni
ence of the curtailed and inadequate service, to
gether with the added cost for using the wires,
but the large sum he now seeks to make up the
price he agreed to pay for the fun of imitating
Secretary McAdoo's handling of the railroads.
It was, all in all, s costly at well as an irritat
ing blunder.
Releasing the Railroads
; In the interest of the public the federal De
partment of Justice sought and obtained a
temporary injunction to restrain certain officers
. of the United Mine Workers from directing and
managing a general strike. In the interest of
the same public the fuel administration, by order
of the president, has fixed coal prices and put
in effect certain restrictions on distributions.
Now. the primary lists of the federal fuel, ad
ministration may be open to intelligent criticism.
i The event will demonstrate the existence or non
existence of mistakes in the measures taken to
prevent either profiteering or a scramble for
coal and its unequal and inequitable distribu-
tion. But there is no room for any serious dif
ference of opinion respecting the propriety of
the course of the government in regulating at
this time both the price and the distribution
of coal. The notion that it is interfering with
the beneficent and all sufficient law of supply
and demand is fallacious. Attorney General
Palmer has punctured this fallacy in a vigorous
communication to a representative of the whole
, sale coal dealers.
; Regulation by supply and demand is effective
' under normal conditions. Competition when it
is 'active and genuine amply protects consum
' ers against extortion.. When monopoly or scarc
ity due to strikes removes competition as a
- substantial factor; when the demand is so far
in excess of the supply of a necessary commodi
ty that the venders are able to obtain any price
. tfiey choose to set regardless of the cost of pro
duction, the question of reasonableness in fix
inf profits or any other relevant consideration,
then the consumers are entitled to special
measures of protection and relief. Chicago

Mexico Armed and Waiting.
Reports from Belgium and Spain that
Mexico has been laying in large supplies of
arms and munitions of war are not reassuring,
nor especially alarming. It was not expected
that if the United States were to be called
upon to cross the Rio Grande with a real army,
that Carranza wofild be found unarmed and
helpless, nor does the fact that he is armed
deter the movement. Americans have exhibited
unusual patience with the Mexicans., not
through any dread of the encounter, but be
cause of a chivalric reluctance to engage in con
flict with an enemy so weak. This sentiment
is not appreciated in Mexico, and it may be
eventually set aside in America. Disclosure of
the preparations made by Carranza to resist
American intervention may well have the effect
of strengthening the resolve of our people not
to put up with outrages along the border for
ever. Conditions have not improved in the six
years Mr. Wilson has watched and waited, and
the country is getting weary rather than ac
customed to the spectacle of outrage and
depredation endured by American citizens from
Mexican bandits. .
Thanksgiving dinner will be some affair if
graced by a turkey this year. A modest esti
mate of the cost of material forxa family feast
to fill six people is $10.75 for the raw materials.
And this does not include a pie.
For once Mayor Smith is right; the pur
chase of the high-priced automobiles for police
use is extravagance.
From the New York Times.
Under the law for federal operation of the
railways the president has power to retain gov
ernment control of them tor 21 months after
the proclamation' of peace. He gave a year's
notice of his intention, nevertheless, to sur
render his control at the end of this year, and
he has' in his hands the bill passed by both
houses restoring to the Interstate Commerce
commission immediately the powers which were
suspended when the roads were taken over by
the government as a war measure. The present
status of the companies, therefore, cannot con
tinue, and the interval for decision re
specting their future operation is not only
snort in time, but comes when congress is
weary with other activities. The special session
probably will soon adjourn, and when the regu
lar session meets in December the appropriation
bills cannot be neglected.
Senator Cummins introduced a bill whith
has - not gained strength with time, although
diligently and frequently amended, and which
has so antagonized the labor interests by anti
strike proposals that its prospects in the house
are not good. That is particularly true since the
house prefers the Esch -bill, which has profited
by avoidance of some of the unwelcome fea
tures of the Cummins bill and has not attracted
the confidence of the senate thereby. The pres
ent prospect is that when either house receives
the bill of the other it will strike out all but the
enacting clause and substitute its own, and the
surviving measure will be agreed upon in con
ference. That requires time, much time for a
measure affecting twenty billions of capital
and all the industrial interests of the country.
It is not likely that the permanent future status
of the railways can be settled before private
operation is resumed, and it is not desirable
that the action taken should be . rather hasty
than well considered. What can and must be
done quickly is to safeguard the welfare of the
companies and the country during the interval
between the end of government control and the
renewal of private operation.
Essentials only should be considered, for
contention and delay grow with each additional
detail in dispute. First, the companies must be
safeguarded against the current deficit which
would bankrupt many of them if put upon
them instead of upon the government.
There has been a welcome improvement
in the earnings of the roads recently,
but there remains a gaping deficit of
$271,160,742 for the last nine months, or, say,
roundly $300,000,000 for a year. That leaves out
of account payment for several hundred millions
of equipment ordered for the government's use
for war purposes at war prices and condemned
by the companies as unduly expensive, unsuit
able as a private charge, and not well adapted
for use by many of them. There is well ad
vanced a proposal for financing this debt charged
to the companies, but, even if it should be en
acted and accepted by the companies, the cost
would practically be a charge on either the raUs
collected by the companies or the taxes
collected by the treasury. Besides, the im
provements in the companies' earnings is be
lieved to have been at the expense of their phys
ical condition. This year the government has
bought 200.000 tons of rails, or just the amount
which the Pennsylvania company is now in the
market for on its individual account. It is likely
that many roads need rails more than the
Pennsylvania, and are less able to buy
them. Calculating only on the proportion of the
Pennsylvania, the companies as a whole need
2,600,000 tons of rails, and that would be below
a fair yearly consumption, worst ot an is tne
deplorable condition of the companies' credit in
the money market. During the first nine months
of this year there has been issued over two bil
lions of new securities, and not one dollar in new
railway shares. The railways have been able to
do some refunding, but the industrials have put
out $1,750,000,000 securities, indicating an activ
ity of trade which will be checked if the railways
are unable to grow up to it. Many would like
to sell railway shares and few will buy them.
- Under such conditions it is clear that under
either temporary or permanent legislation there
should be for a time a continuance of the guar
antee of the standard return, and some action
which should prevent the renewal of the guer
rilla war by the state commissions on the rates
fixed by the federal authority. That is even the
opinion of the chairman of the Interstate Com
merce commission.'who has said recently that,
since the condition of the railways was forced
upon them by war conditions, "until the corpora
tions have reasonable opportunity to make their
own readjustments, the government should stand
behind unavoidable losses to a reasonable ex
tent." Only those can dissent who wish the rail
ways to become insolvent as a step to govern
ment ownership and operation. Even the
brotherhoods have seen how hopeless a program
that is and have dropped the Plumb plan to that
end. '
Heroes Who Must Be Recorded
Commendation is deserved by the Navy
league for the efforts it is making to get in
formation of a definite kind as to the identity,
the achievements, and the fates of the young
Americans who, seeing more promptly than did
their own country what should be done to de
feat the ambitions of Germany and to defend
her chosen victims, enlisted before the rtpril
of 1917 in the military service of one or an
other of the allies.
These men, fortunately for American repute,
numbered some hundreds of thousands, and
they scattered pretty well all Over the surface
of the world. In character, as in courage, they
should rank high in the roster of national
heroes, for they did much did all that was
done till we entered the war-r-to prove by their
offer of life itself the .existence here of full ap
preciation of what was going on in Europe.
Many of them died in the great and noble
adventure upon which they entered, and it
would indeed be deplorable if they should lack
at home the reward of fame and remembrance
that was so well earned. Most of the survivors,
of course, finally were transferred to the Amer
ican forces, but they have a right to have it
recorded and made permanently known that,
With no other call than that of their own
consciences, they risked the supreme sacrifice
for the good cause-and did it betimes. New

. Omaha, Nov.' 15 To the Editor
of The Bee: President DeVaiera's
misBion to America is a righteous
one because It is In behalf of a race
of people who have been struggling
to throw off the yoke of the in
vader for nigh 800 years. His lec
ture in Omaha was listened to with
marked attention by the general
public. Besides, the press gave it
considerable publicity. But lo, and
behold, the unbounded enthusiasm
of the "patriots" In their aspirations
to become members of the reception
committee together with their anxi
ety in having their pictures taken
with President DeValera, was most
magnanimous. Can it be possible
that the exhibition of patriotism
that was so visible during the presi
dent's visit has vanished? Perhaps
it Is awaiting another spasmodic
occasion for display.
Hon. Frank P. Walsh, chairman
of the American commission on
Irish Independence, has submitted
a $10,000,000 bond certificate issue
of the Kepubllc of Ireland. The
Sinn Fein leaders who at one time
were branded as visionary-idealists,
are showing themselves to be the
most practical of men. President
DeValera, in their name, asks us '.o
help them carry to a successful is
sue the great work they have under
taken, Ireland's emancipation. The
friends who were ever and always
faithful and true to Ireland will re
spond immediately to this invitation
to help the men and colleens on the
firing line on the Other side of the
Atlantic. Let us supply them with
the munitions of war by purchasing
the bonds of the Irish republic to
the fullest extent of our ability. The
time has come for backing up our
professions by our dollars.
That passage In the book of
books, which says, "A tree is known
by its fruit," is applicable to that
class of patriots who are Invisible in
war xand invinclnble In peace,
whether the war is active or passive.
To keep history straight, besides
jogging the memory of the shotless
warriors, professional patriots to do
their duty, I might mention the fol
lowing, lest they forget.
Previous to "Easter Week'
through your great paper a con
tribution of mine was forwarded to

"They wanted to know if your
niece was a high school graduate?
Well,- that isn't always necessary.
My cousin says they prefer a high
school education, but a grammar
school educa'ion will be accepted.
"Yes, sure, a girl must have per

and good articulation. Your niece
could expect to stand an examina
tion on these three points.

be courteous and patient if nothing
else.
"How'd my .ousin get into the
business? Well, she started in at
the bottom. The company gave her
a month's training free, paying her a
salary in the meantime. Then , she
started as an operator. Later she
became a supervisor. A supervisor,
you know, has charge of about eight
or 10 operators. Now she is a chief
operator. A girl who goes into the
business has pretty good chances
for prc.notion. There are a lot of
clerical and executive positions that
have to be filled by girls who have
had actual experience as operators.
"Your niece tried to find a school
where telephone operating was
taught? There aren't any regular
schools. Most of the big companies
maintain schools of their own for
the purpose. If she will go to one
of the exchanges or write to the

while learning.

"Like to work with machinery,

"Yeh," said Jimmy screwing home

"Good at mathematics and

"'A' in both of 'em last term,"
answered Jimmy cranking up.
"Well, why not be a mechanical
engineer?"
"Gee that would take too long,'
objected Jimmy.
"Not so very. You have another

After you graduated you could take
a job. That makes you 23 when
you start. That's not too old."
"Dad couldn't afford all that?"
"You could work in the summer
in a machine shop and help out.
There are a lot of mighty good
technical schools giving evening
courses for fellows who have to
work in the daytime. One big school
has its students work part time in
shops nearby to gain experience."
"What kind of a job would I get
when I graduated?" taking off the

"A mechanical engineer is a me

He is a man who has made a syste
