In the matter of names, did you note that it

Mine owners do not want "inexperienced"
men in their mines. They were not so par

6maha retailers are wrestling with i mighty
stiff, problem, that of doing a day's business in

1 Herr von Ludendorff says Germany will not
interfere with the senate in the matter of the
peace treaty, explaining: "No people with, pride
and self-respect endures willingly a meddling or
mixing in its affairs by foreigners." He knows
this to be a fact now, but it took a very com
plete licking to make him understand it. ,
One sugar investigation after another has
brought out the same state of facts, and the
same helplessness on part of the government
for dealing with profiteers. The" attorney gen
eral thunders in prospect as to what he is going
to do after January 1, but the biggest question
is what the sugar barons are going to do.
"Patsy Havey will be sorely missed from
the police force, of which he has been not only
an' active but an honorable member for so many
years. It Ms not especially a credit to public
service that a man who has given such faith and
zeal to his work and has so creditably dis
charged all his duties should in the end be re
quired to turn to private employment that he
may receive his worth in wages. Sergeant
Havey's record is one that the department may
point to with pride? and from jvhich younger
men may draw inspiration.
Bars On American Ships?
If the shipping board's only reason for in
stalling bars for the sale of liquor on its new
transatlantic passenger fleet is a thrifty desire
to promote travel and revenue, its action is di
rectly in conflict with the prohibition program
deHberately adopted by congress and the states
that ratified the 18th amendment.
When prohibition was decreed, federal reve
nues amounting in 1918 to $443,839,544.were sac
rificed. Other millions derived by -states and
municipalities from like sources are going the
same way year after year. A careful estimate
of property destroyed - or adversely affected
places the total in excess of $1,000,000,000.
In competition with foreign liners under
whose flag it is not a crime to sell a bottle of
beer or wine, the shipping board fears that
while they are catering to standing-room only
its palatial but cheerless ships are likley to be
running empty or with only a few austere
teetotallers in their cabins. But is not this the
new national policy, and when it was pro
claimed did anybody reckon or care about the
cost? -
We must commend to the old salts of the
shipping board the stern philosophy of the anti
saloon league, which takes no account bf the
grosser things of life but finds its most satis
' tying rewards in denying to others the comforts
to which they have been accustomed. Steam
ships that cannot be operated at a profit on this
plan will naturally be condemned as dissolute
and immoral, and fit subjects for the junkman
or the bankruptcy court New York World.
SETTLE THE COAL STRIKE.
If our optimistic altruistic, international ad
ministration at Washington will only bestir it
self and do something to settle the coal strike, it
may make one credit mark on an otherwise
blank sheet
Sending miners to jail for contempt of court
will not get coal out of the ground. Silly talk
of "conscripting'men for work does not lead
anywhere. The impasse was precipitated by the
meddling of Dr. Garfield with a situation that
was in a fair way to right itself. Operators had
offered 20 per cent increase, and the men were
demanding 31. The head of the fuel adminis
tration, by a process peculiarly his own, arrived
at the conclusion that 14 per cent was enough,
and so announced. ( ,
The result is the most remarkable industrial
condition ever known in America. Officials at
Washington are devoting themselves td the al
location of. such supplies of coal as are avail
able, not entirely with' the" utmost success at
that Locally representatives of the fuel con
trol are doing their utmost to spread the rapidly
dwindling stores of fuel over the needs of the
community, which is patiently submitting to
the restrictions ordered, and looking ahead to
better days.
Several schemes for settling the strike, short
of government operation of the mines, have
been suggested. Each of these contains the,
idea of satisfying the miners to the extent that
they will voluntarily resume work. None of
them come from anybody connected with the
government, as Washington seems to have lain
down completely. As the paralyzing effects of
the fuel shortage extend from one workshop
or factory to another, increasing the misery and
suffering of the citizens, cabinet ' officers
"optimistically" hope that something will turn
up and end the trouble.
Would it not be a good plan to have John
Lewis, William Green and a few others of the
officers now held under bail ordered to report
at Washington, there to meet a like number of
coal operators, and arrange for a settlement?
Contempt proceedings and investigations could
be taken up later. What is now wanted in the
United States is coal. ,
America and the Anarchists.
Standing at Ellis Island, from whence they
are getting their farewell view of the Statue
of Liberty, Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman turn to the law they have long flouted.
Into the cpurts they have denounced and de
fied this pair of professional anarchists dive for
shelter. Not as seekers for justice, or suppliants
for mercy, but to test the final technicality on
which they hope against hope they may be per
mitted to longer enjoy the liberty afforded by
America. . r.
Why does the government seek to oust this
pair? Is the course in keeping with the theory
of liberty that is guaranteed to all citizens?
Does there come a time when the safety of our
institutions requires repression of opinion or
the beliefs of any?
Sober consideration can lead only to an af
firmatlve answer to these questions. Emma
Goldman and Alexander Berkman for a genera
tion have preached the destruction of all gov
ernment, and because of their deliberate and per
sistent refusal to be bound by the laws to
which the mass of the people submit, have
finally reached a point where expulsion from
the country is the only reasonable way to deal
with them. '
Americans do not lay a heavy yoke on any.
Restraints on individual conduct are not special
in application. The widest possible latitude con
sistent with general good is allowed to all, and
nowhere has the individual, been given such un
restricted exercise of his powers and been so
carefully and continually safeguarded in his
rights as here. A large part of all our difficul
ties has come from the fact that aliens have
failed to appreciate the responsibilities that go
with this.
These privileges do not include incitement to
riot, to the throwing of bombs, the assassina
tion of public officials, or many of the other joys
bf free and happy Russia. That is why. Emma
Goldman and Aleck Berkman are finally going
back to mingle with the multitude under the
sovietsJ
"A Police Court Case."
Referring to the Jenkins episode as a , "po
lice cqurt case," the New York World expresses
the hope that if war comes with Mexico, it will
be for a better cause. Ordinarily, the treatment
accorded Consul Jenkins would be sufficient
He is an American citizen,, and an officer of the
State department of the government Raided
by bandits,' he was forced to open a safe, from
which not only his own mdney but a consider
able turn of American funds was taken. Then
he was held prisoner until a ransom of $150,000
was paid his captors. On his return to head
quarters he was arrested by the Carranzista
authorities, accused of aiding the Diaz rebels,
and thrown into the penitentary at Puebla.
"A police court case," perhaps, , but it looks
much like an indignity that should not be borne.
It is so viewed by the secretary of state and
certain of the United States senators. If it
wejw not enough, though, a considerable Jist of
other outrages might be enumerated. Not the
least among them may be recalled the ransom
paid for the release of two officers of -the United
States army, who were unfortunate enough to
fall into the hands of Mexicans, while we might
cite the murder of two others, and in general
the record of relations between the two coun
tries since the Wilson administration com
menced, v
We do not seek war with Mexico, but, just
as it was with Germany, a condition worse than
war is rapidly being established. Something
must bV done to end the foolishness, and it
should have nothing of the nature of the
Vera Cruz expedition or the "pursuit" of Villa.
Kipling asks reverence and respect for the
battle fields of France. This request should
not be necessary, but already some visitors have
acted as if these places were pleasure grounds.
If such would only take thought as to what hap
pened on those fields, the cause for censure
soon would vanish. Kipling is right when he
says the ground is holy.
Congressman Good of Iowa says estimates
submitted from the departments will be cut by
more than a billion dollars. He will not hurt
the" feelings of the taxpayers if he makes good
on this promise.
A French rag picker has accumulated a large
fortune by speculating in American army sup
plies, ut he hasn't much on a great many Amer
icans in that respect
Bituminous Coal Profits
From the New York Times.
Secretary Glass is usually so correct in his
figures that it is a surprise to find him appar
entlyTon the authority of others, stating the
profits of the bituminous coal industry for the
year 1917 at a figure which exceeds the gross
earnings. There may have been companies
that made profits of 100 per cent, or even more,
but there can be no argument from a few in
dividual companies to the regulation of the in
dustry as a whole. His response t the state
ment of the National Coal association will be
interesting in a controversial sense, but the
wage dispute must be settled on present condi
tions, not those of previous years. Secretary
McAdoo made similar statements, which are
even more open to criticism. The report which
he made to the senate in 1918 covered several
hundred cases, but included less than a score in
which the net before taxes was 1,000 perj cent.
The total capitalization of these cases was less
than $200,000 in a billion-dollar industry. All
these companies had investments larger than
their capital stock, and paid taxes not hinted at
in Secretary McAdoo's statement of their in
come. The Wall Street Journal has analyzed
these reports with results characterized by Sec
retary McAdoo's adjectives, "shocking and in
defensible." One $2,500 company earned 1,689 per cent, ac
cording to the allegation, but in fact, after deduction-
of taxes, earned 46 pr cent on its in
vestment. A $20,000 company earned 2,134 per
cent before taxes, but its earnings on invest
ment were 26 per cent The grossest case of
all, showing earnings of 225 per cent on invest

Sanitary Engineer. -
By R. S. ALEXANDER.
Millburg was dirty. It was un
healthy. It had no decent sewerage
system. Its water supply was im
pure. Dick Reed hated all these
faults in his home toWn and decided
that when he grew up he was going
to remedy them. He told his father
about his decision.
"So you're going to be a sanitary
engineer?" said he.
Dick hadn't thought about it tha:
way but he now began to do so. He
wrote to several big technical
schools for information. 'He sub
scribed for the "Engineering News,"
220 Broadway, N, Y, and the "En

left for the extortioners $34,508, or less for the
shareholders than for the tax collectors. The
largest of these profiteers had invested capital
of only $140,000. It is obvious that conclusions
based ion the showing of these .small concerns
would be very far out of the way if applied to
the industry as a whole.
Too much of the antagonism between labor
and capital is due to a suspicion about profits.
The campaign in favor of nationalization of
various industries, and against exploitation of
labor, rests upon nothing stronger than the
Mexican notion that labor earns more than it
is paid, and that labor would receive more if
profits were abolished. If profits are abolished,
wages will go with them. Dollars will not work
for nothing any more than men, and the hope
of profit is the lure of capital to employ work
ers. Probably there are more cases in which
capital is underpaid than labor, for the com
mercial mortality is higher than any battle
statistics. The cases in which labor does not
get its wages are as unsuitable to argue from
in these matters as the figures given above. They
prove nothing as to the whole industry, what
ever they may prove in the given cases. When
capital escapes insolvency, after having paid all
the wages which the labor employed by it de
manded, it is lain in wait for by radical agi
tators who allege that capital and. profit are
robbery, although there would have been no
work or wages without the capital risked. If
this seems a parody of a frame of mind impos
sible for rational men it will suffice to quote the
resolution adopted by the British labor party
on Saturday declaring that "the only effective
way to end profiteering was to end the capital
ist system of production for profit, and advo
cating the nationalization of all means of pro
duction and the encouragement of municipal
trading. Nothing can be thought trivial which
gives encouragement to the supporters of such
a program.

The Home Missionary.
By ELIZABETH MATEER.
Peggy Carrol was sure of one
thing when she graduated from col
lege; she would not teach school.
But in the middle of the summer
came an offer to teach in a mission
school in the south. Of all callings
this was the1 farthest from her
mind. But Peggy was a girl to
whom novelty and adventure appeal-
wasted on her.l She found in these
simple mountain people a genuine
ness unknown to her frivolous, col
lege friends.
For the earnest girl who is look
ing for work which will demand her
whole self and who recognizes other
compensations than money, the
home mission field offers a wide
range for teachers, nurses, matrons,
principals,' secretaries, and execu
tives. J

White Slaves of America"
' A correspondent asks: "If 400,000 men must
go to jail or dig coal against their will, isn't it
time for some of our statesmen to write a vol
ume on 'The White Slaves of America?'"
Of course, the hypothesis is absurd. Every
man-jack of the alleged 400,000 is free to stop
work if he pleases without agreement or con
spiracy with anybody else. Only conspiring to
lessen coal production and freeze the country
out is contempt of court.
Nevertheless, the
physics, and chemestry. So he spe
cialized in these subiects so far ai
possible in high school. Then h
went tp a large technical school and
took a course in sanitary engineer
ing. When he graduated, he got a job
as assistant superintendant of a fil
tration plant in a medium sized city.
Shortly afterwards, a new mayor in
Millburg decided to clean up the
place and, believing in patronizing
home industries, he made Dick mu
nicipal engineer. During his 4 years
as city engineer. Dick has designed
and constructed a sewerage system
for. the city, designed and installed a
new system for purifying the city
water, and worked out several other
measures for the improving of living
conditions in the city. Since he took
office, the death rate from certain
diseases such as tuberculosis and
malaria has been reduced to almost
nothing ard . health conditions
throughout the city are much bet
ter.
His term of office will soon be
ended and then, if he should not be
reappointed, he will be ready to go
to some other city to carry on the
same work, or to go into the service
ed; to the amazement of her friends
she accepted.
Arriving at the school, she found
instead of the crude, poorly clad
specimens she had expected, a
group of healthy, capable mountain
beauties clothed in blue gingham
uniforms and fired with a determin
ation to learn that was quite new to
her. In place of feeling sorry for
herself, she wondered how. anyone
so incompetent as Peggy Carrol had
the nerve to think she could teach
these wide-awake girls.
By the end of the year, she had
learned much more than she had
taught. She had become so attached
to the girls that she decided to visit
their homes.
After a two weeks' horseback trip
through the mountains, she became
a community worker in a little
mountain neighborhood. Her du
ties were as varied as the days of
the week; one day she might ride
10 miles to see a sick woman; the
next day ride, 10 in another direc
tion to buy Supplies for the com
munity store; and the next plan a
church entertainment, or teach a
Sunday school class.
The sympathy of her friends was
FROM HERE AND THERE.
Question suzzests some
interesting contrasts. Cobden's volume was di- of the state or federal government
rected against real oppression. It struck at the
employment of young children in the coal mines,
the harnessing them to coal cars, the impossibly
long hours, the demoralizing conditions of their
slavery. It was, a' powerful book. In a sense
it may be said tb have stirred England as the
United States was stirred by "Uncle Tom's
Cabin." t It hastened the reform of the evils it
criticised. '., .
There was no piano in any miner's house in
all Great Britain. There was no union of
miners. The coal barons were the bread lords,
and paid what they chose to pay. The employ
ment of children and women meant the destruc
tion of the home; it was a crime against the
rising generation. Nobody talked then of a
six-hour day. Fourteen was the common limit.
Cobden's title was justified, and got additional
ironical force from the existence of negro slav
ery in the United States, strongly attacked by
some of the men who owned coal mines.
We are glad no young children are forced
to work, in our mines. We are glad that miners
have a much shorter day. We are not unwilling
to concede' that unions have had a large part in
producing the change. But today in America
the essential slavery is that imposed upon the
consumer, the ultimate consumer of coal; the
essential j tyranny is the class tyranny of the
miners' Unions. One is tempted to suggest as
an analogue the comparison between czar tyr
anny, which was bad enough, and soviet tyr
anny, which is very much worse, in Russia.
The community's interests demand the use
of every agency of government to increase pro
duction of fuel. What is being done has the
sympathy and support of the best people in
every state. That it will prove efficient is the
hope of America. Brooklyn Eagle.
