But little do they know who If ;t is they pay, if the testimony of George. H. Cushingj general manager of, the American " Wholesale .Coal Dealers' association is borne out : by proof. An appalling dishonesty that forced i up the price of coal beyond reason has been I testified to before the senate investigating com- f mittee headed by Senator Calder. ; Out of the opportunity created by -the war- time laws which are still in effect, million are S; said to have been taken .from the people's J pockets f)r fuel and jtransf erred to the bank ac- I counts of a ring of government officials. This ring is declared tohavc made $675,000 on a single ileal involving. 4S0,j)00 tons. It is not only official honesty, but commercial honesty as well that is brought into question by this revelation. Since the first application of government regulation of the coaj industry, the administration of the !law-has been under the di rection of practical business men, and yet the net result has been a steady increase in prices. in the emergency of the war, mine operators were even encouraged to increase the price of their product on the theory v that high prices would stimulate production. Even then there wire recurrent, shortages which forced prices , higher. ' ..... Supply and demand ceased to operate, for R horde of speculators intervened here as in many othjer industries. By getting secret orders from concerns in dire need of coal,these speculators .bought it from operators, transferred it to their 'clients, and raked in a profit of $1.50 a tonfor knowing howo da it This is the method that is charged to the government ring, and it is orrty , by the greatest charity' that-this can, be called speculation and not highway robbery. ! The people "pay.. Senator Kenyon, who s a member of the investigating committee before this last discovery announced that public owner ship' of the coal industry might become neces sary, and Senator Calder also professes himself open-minded on this point. Under a system of, national ownership, the, people, at least would know who they paid, 'whereas now there are so many hands through which coal may pass be fore it readies the consumer that only a brief j flash of lightning such as this testimony of Mr. V Cushing gives an inkling of the truth. I if .a t f A Great International Trust. While the late 'presidential campaign was in progress a large proportion of the jdiscussion turned on the Monroe Doctrine. .l any of the league supporters pretended that the declaration contained therein was an antiquatcoTpolicyf that the larger growth of the western world had taken the interests of the several republics be yond the need of such an oversight, and there fore it might be well for it to merge ir the fuller understanding contained in the covenant. These may find their answer, in the address of welcome, delivered to Secretary ' Colby on behalf of Brazil by Senator Ellis of the great South American, republic. Among other highly commendable statements, the senator said: ,- The doctrine was a compromise to de-. fend the American republics against incur-' sions. In proclaiming that doctrine the North American government became the ' champion of liberty throughout the new world. No one of sound mind can imagine that Washington's sword should be used as an instrument to plant the seed of oppres sion over all America, instead ,o that of .liberty -in both continents. Washington not ' only was the father of his country, but is considered throughout the Americas as lfe father of democracy and the great champion oMiberty -This should remind jingoes, both north and south, that the Americas yet have interests in common that are not those of Europe or the rest of the world. Democracy is not yet'o safe that we may throw down all the protections and restrictions that have surrounded it, and go into a world combination on equal terms with those who in former years frowned on our institutions, and who have not.as yet shown a willingness to adopt them, Iven m form. The TJonroe Doctrine is quite as essential to North, Central and South America today as it ever was. 1 "Semblance of Competition." In objecting to the unification of the express busines, the minority report of the Interstate Commerce commission declared that the ar rangement destroyed "every semblance of com petition." The choice of words is unfortunate as implying that even the semblance of compe tition , is better Jhan open and admitted mo nopoly. . Public opinion will probably be that one big express company can serve the needs of the country belter than a "half dozen small ones, just as one street car corporation or telephone system has advantage over a dual arrangement from which in course of time every real element of competition "would fade. And in the case of the express company there is not only govern ment regulation but the parcel post system-to keeprthe service up to standard. , The idea of a monopoly which must keep step with a similar business operated by the government is not un promising. , , f " . ' Ift many fields today, to adopt the phrase of the minority repcVtf there is little more than the "semblance of competition." Large scale industries that naturally tend to combination are from time to time ordered to dissolve their con nections, and yet experience has shown that many businesses notably common carriers are so situated that combination is natural and com petition downright wasteful. Regulation of such combinations, rather than denial of their exist ence or the economic reason for their being, would enable the government to eliminate a great deal of confusion and waste. ' Thoae Very Human Puritans. ' The celebration centering around Plymouth Rock just a' few days ago will serve to remove any, misconception as to the time of year in which the Pilgrim forefathers landed in Amer ica that may have arisen through the fact thatS the tercentenary celebration waal held in Omaha and . many other cities last fall. The ice was forming in the bays of New England when the Mayflower landed its passengers, December 21, 1620. In the life and death struggle with un friendly nature that -fallowed in the next two years they could only have been sustained by the profound faith which had made them exiles from their native. land. Yet as if protected by God, the colony conquered every adversity, even finding a, friendly .-Indian who had 1 gained a knowledge of English from the British fishermen whose fleets for years : had hovered off the shores of the new world. From this native they learned cultivate corn and to accustom them selves to pioneer. life. ' ' ' c There are many misconceptions concerning these Puritan folk. Their severe and abstemious life was in good measure the result of the hard ships which they had to face. We have the word of the present burgomaster of the Dutch town of Leyden that they were ever law-abiding, and in a recent celebration there he declared that dur ing the whole of their stay in that placethe magistrates had no reason to complain of their conduct, and that he wished that every citizen today- gave as little trouble as did the men of the Mayflower, yet inj he eyes of King , Jmes these men were lawbreakers, objecting to paying taxes, and trying to leave England without a passport. King James, in fact, endeavored to have them extra dited from Holland. Under the original ar rangement, life at Plymouth was placed on a purely communistic basis. This, it was found after a time, did hot work, and was abandoned. Enough has been said to indicate that these fjrst Americans were a very human sort of peo ple. From many sides, however, thio little col ony has had to stand the criticism of posterity. In spite of the fact that they brought with them a plentiful supply of rum, and used it, too, an effort is made to lay the responsibility for pro hibition on their teachings, instead of placing it on medical and scientific" findings. Blame for almost everything except communism has been laid at the door of these essentially human men and women, and that may yet be added. i Salt of the Stockyards. The Department of Justice is proving to its, own satisfaction that it is one thing to lay down a theorem and quite another to demonstrate it Following the lead of the Federal Trade board, the attorney general pursued the packers until he got an agreement from them to accept a divorce between the packing houses and the stockyards. AH went along" without a hitch till it came time to provide for the separate main tenance of yards. A goodly number of millions of dollars is involved in the transaction, and these appear to be reluctant to come forward and devote themselves to the duty of carrying out what Chairman Colver and Attorney General Palmer think ought to be done. One platt proposed by. the packers has been rejected, because the government looks upoTrjJt as mere transfer of interest to a holding com pany; Another proposal is nowunder considera tion, while the Assistant Attorney General is looking for a way out that does not now appear. The experience is valuable for its lesson, in busi ness methods. Stockyards are necessary; they are operated on a huge scale, and require the' constant employment of large sums of capital Their success as an investment is not their primary reason for existence. Convenience of seller and buyer of live stock comes first. It may well be questioned if, had profit been the prime consideration, the millions represented at Omaha, Kansas Gty, Chicago, St. Louis, St. Joseph, or elsewhere fiy the magnificent accommodations provided for transient meat animals on the way to the shambles, ever would have been invested. Service was the first requisite, and thts was pro vided. Outside money is hesitant to venture here. Farmers are realising the need of liquid capi tal for the adequate and proper financing of their own business, and do not feel like fixing permanently the million needed to carry on th stockyards of the country. The sale of Jthis great adjunct to the food-providing industry may be accomplished, and the, conditions laid down by Mr. Palmer be satisfied, but the process is not so facile as had been expected. . Paving for County. Roads. Douglas county taxpayers will be gratified if trie county Doara tuimis Chairman O Connor s proniise that -it will proceed cautiously in its consideration of bids for paving various county highways, to be received Thurf day. The paving of these roads has been delayed for months, even years in some cases. Never theless, public opinion will support a, further delay, if by such postponement the county is able to take advantage. of a declining Material and labor market. ( ; It' may be that the bids opened Thursday will reflect marked reductions over the proposals made a few months ago. There have been cuts in the prices of other comaodKies; possibly brick and cement and stone hive joined the list. But if they have not, the county board will do well to defer action until a later date, awaiting "! reduction that is certain to come. It was easy enough to, put the ire in Ireland, the hate in Hayti and the hunger in Hungary, but over here we are waiting to- acclaim the man who can out awe in law.

Hereafter I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by my wife. v - a HENRY KRIT&MAN. - A RATHER solstitial day, , Bj. L. T. OX THREE TEACHERS LEARN SOMETHING. Many people want to know what Is the best tonic to use when th&re is need for richer, redder blood and more of it. It is assumed that the need is for more iron in the blood. But .which is the best way to get It there is the question. ThrAA TTnlvArBirv nt. r-oHf-min ("teachers have undertaken to answer the question. They worked with dogs. A dog would ba bled until one-quarter of his -blooa had been lost. The next day the process was repeated."xThey tapk away about one-half his calculated blood supply. Immediately after a certain quan tity of blood, say a pint, has been drawn from the vessels the tissues supply enough water to make up the loss in quantify, bit they are not able to supply the quality on such short notice. Therefore, one-half of a dog's blood havingbeen drawn off, what is left in ifis vessels shortly be comes 100 per cent in quantity and B0 per cent quality. The first question was, will the tissues bring the quality of the-blood to rfbrmal?? The answer is yes, provided the dog is well fed enough; The blood of dogs fed on an aver age amount of table scraps was noc. mal in eight weeks. If a dog vraw fed table scraps, but was not given enojigh to eat, his Mod did not re turn to normal. Assuming then that eight weeks was a standard, various foods andT" medicine were used and the time re quired for a return to normal was compared with the ' standard. A diet of raw or cooked meat was found to be the best iron tonic for a dog. When fed such a diet dogs were back to normal in four weeks. Liver came, right along In the come class with meat (muscle.) am informed by Mrs. Robsojert that green regetables were not so effective as meat While dogs lire accustomed to eating a mixed diet, there is no doubt that their teeth, stomach and intestines are built on meat-eating lines. Had they been working with grass eating animals, perhaps spinach and other green, vegetables might have led meat. They found that Blaud's pills were without effect. Their experiments in dicate that money spent on forms of inorganic iron is money wasted. Centrally these experiments prove that where anemitwis due 'to hem orrhage, the only Iron tonic needed is good food in proper quantity. good meat heading the list Beef tea and beef extracts were found 1-to be as useless as Blaud's pills. tincture of Iron and bitter wine of iron. It has been claimed that In secondary anemias not due to hem orrhage but due to Intestinal condi tions, inorganic Iron, helps, but not bv supplying Iron to tne oiooa. Tne exoeriments did not cover that question. The Will to Have Pep. T. L. writes: "Why not advise vitalizing the thyroid gland by the will?

T. writes: "I worked two months at riveting. I gave up the job about eight months ago. I have continual falling asleep of my right hand. I got it about a month after I started riveting and have had It ever since." Perhaps you can tell me the- cause of it or whether I should consult a physician?" I REPLY.

Along the usual lines of evolution In dress the "g string" deems' to fill the bill to the satisfaction of its wearers. ' . Consequently the bill of Senator Santos of the Philippine senate pro posing that all males in the Philip pines be forcod to wear trousers or suffer five years Imprisonment Is in the line of the usual half-baked, ill considered legislation. It woujd in deed be an injustice to the mountain tribes who, though called "pagans" by the lowland Filipino, are really superior to the lowlander in physique, morals and common nonesty. -Senator Santos simply resents the ract tnat igorrotes nave Deen exnio ited in the United States in their na tive state and have been exploited in the usual circus style. No doubt this might inflence the American public towards believing that the islands as a whole are not ready for indepena ence, but the remedy is not tho en forced wearing of trousers. Your conclusion that "trousers en' forced" will win out la I believe, a wrong one and as I know the moun tain people of the islands as well as the dwellers of the lowlands rrom first-hand contact. I want to state that the emaciated and effeminate trouser wearers who have absorbed a veneer of civilization will have to step lively and use a gun of they can force the simple, hardy, muscular mountain folk to "take to pants."
