FUEL CONTROL BY GOVERNMENT.
,.- The Caldcr committee report, recommending
Vloser federal control of the coal mining indus
try, which will probably be extended to include
the entire fuel field, opens an interesting vista.
Just how far the federal government may law
fully proceed in the direction is yet to be de
termined. Close construction of the Constitu
, lion of the United States will surely develop a
yrave doubt as to the power of congress or the
president in the matter of control.
Practically fuel is a public necessity; theo
, "netically it is subject to the police power.of the.
government, winch has been stretched in many
ways to meet emergencies or to provide foc the
comfort of all as against the interest of the few.
We, may question, however, if t is the duty of
the government to see that its citizens arc all
ucll housed, further than the- obligation admit
ted to wovidc for those who can not help them
selves. The fundamental principle of individual
liberty, which is asserted again and again: by,
the" courts in llic doctrine of freedom of con
ti'act and in other specihVapplications, contains
also the corresponding principle of responsitiit
ily. that is. that each individual must nfovirle
tor himself, satisfying his own heeds and grati
tying his wants through the result of his own
efforts.. If this view is sound, then the individual
is txpected to provide fuel for himself or suffer:
from cold. ,
It may have been a, mistake in the beginning
to allow the great coal beds of the country to be
taken over for private exploitation. Yet that
wias seemingly supported by good public pol
icy, in that it brought the use oOhe fuel to
millions who might otherwise have been deprived
of its service. Our industrial and commercial
me, in laet, our whole social existence Is in
volved' in the fuel industry. This being true,
the inquiring mind is faced with the necessity
of answering why we permit this basic element ;
of social existence to be controlled by a com
paratively small group of owners, who have the.
rtnu;r tn arhitrariiv fiv flip nrirp limit the enn-
ply, and otherwise- manipulate the situation to
their Own benefit and the public detriment.
The, answer to this will be that the general
experience of the country vith the fuel industry
has been otherwise' than detrimental. Only since
the disturbance incident to the war has there
been acute complaint.' Governmental regulation
did not produce the relief expected; it did not
check profiteering, in fact it apparently provided
better and safer means for extortion, some of
which have been applied to ; the limit
Now that the Colder inquiry has lighted upborne
of the dark places in the fuel game, the clamor
for regulation will increase. If the coal barons
feel the pressure, they will have only, themselves
to thank, because they have invited the process
by their tactics. '
, But this doe's not-answer the main question.
Has the president the power, or can congress
in peace times clothe him with authority to
regulate the fuel industry of the. country? Is
coal mining a government function, the same as
railroading or steamboating? v
.' While the war was on the constitution was
suspended, and the president was vested- with
autocratic powers; now these are stripped from
him, and our government is going back to its
safe mooring. Business is to be re-established
on sound principles, profiteering will vanish un
der the pressure of competition, and perhaps
even the coal mine owners may come to be con
trolled "more effectually by the law of supply
and demand than ever they wilLJje by govern
ment regulation.

The action of the j&strian government in j
requesting the"' Allies to take over the adminis- ;
tration of affairs in jhaf country, beginning with j
Saturday of this week,' calls attention to one of :
the remarkable outcomes oF the war. While i
it was through Austria the trap was sprung,
the fate of that patchwftrk empire seemed de-
termined from the first, if victory had ifome
to the Central Powers, tin- (".frnianc.in Austria !
would have been driwrf more closely to the.j
Raiser's empire, and the eventual absorption of
the lesser would aurejy have , followed. In
event of'defeat tli dismemberment of the em
pire was inevitable. What actualjy has taken
place,' however, could not have been" foreseen.
When the Czecho-Slovakian republic was set
up boundaries' were extended to include Bcv,
hernia 'and Moravia, and with them some slices
of territory which might hive been alloted to
the Magyar's,' while a considerable German ele
ment was.includdd srfong the southern border
of Bohemia. This started the new republic off
with something of a problem, which has not
diminished since. One f the effects of this
has been to set up a guard on the borders al
most as rigorous as that maintained along the
firing line on the western front. Political pros
perity may follow, but-the economic -situation
is deplorable. Bohemia, Austria, .Moravia,
Hungary, a land divided racially and religiously,
with many differences in tongue and manners,
are economically one, interdependent and neces
sary to thus happiness of each other. Separated
as they are, and one ' recent visitor says it is
farther from Prague to Vienna or from Prague
to Budapest than from Prague to New York,
each suffers, and Austria, finally the weaker and
less self-contained, of the three, has collapsed.
In Hungary they expect the return to'the
throne of a Hapsbiirg, either the former Em
oeror Charles or Jiis cousin. Archduke Tosebh.
The permission- sought by Austria to unite with
Gefmany has been denied, btit a better solution
has not yet appeared. It may be the good offices
of the great powers can be effectively used to
secure freer intercourse and exchange of com
modities - between what'wdee the three grlfcat
divisions of the Austrian 'empire, for so only;
does it appear .cither of them can be wholly
prosperous and successful. Whatever is done
should be done with Some expedition, as the
suffering is growing with each passing day,
and even the bitterest enemy of the former
proud empire, can scarcely wish greater humili
ation for Austria than has overtaken her since
that fateful day , in. Jiily',M9l4, when the ulti
matum 'was dispatched td Serbia.'

Town and Country Population.
Over half the pc6ple' in the United States
lve 111 towns or ,ouu or more jnnauiiaius.
Many solemn sermons will be preached on this
text, reminding us of the decadence that follows
as the. country dwindles andihe town .waxes.
Yet those who' irt inclined 6 look on the pic-'
ture as a somber presentation of our national
ctuirse should be comforted with the thought
that while 'the rural population' has lost its pro
portional relation to the whole, its importance
has not been lessened nor its activities dimin
ished. The farms of the United States last year
produced more than ever irt our history, enough
for all the - people and an exportable balance
that not so many years ago jwbuld have
amounted to pretty fir total yield. The people
who live in town are employed in useful occu
pations. Only a- negligible few, very rich ior very
poor; belong to the jtlle class. While theysdo
not produce the food they consume, they, do
bring forth things that are needed inrhe world,
and orovide the. market for the farmer. Thus..
tlve bafance is preserved. The lugubrious lines
from Goldsmith's delightful poem '
III fares the land, to hastening; Ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.
vilf spring into maiiy minds, but they may' be
smiled at so far" as the United States is con
cerned, because with our rabidly mounting in
crease in wealth with no corresponding deca
dence in manhood may be noted. We have tht.
bold yeomen, just as we dicj in ;the beginning,
and we have the equally bold artisans and
clerks, whose service to humanity is as neces
sary .and whose devotion to freedom is as un
questioned as if they all lived on 'farms.
Business Kcks Up.
Quite a number of mills and factories that
closed down , ever their inventory periods are
reopening, and a -decidedly itriproved and more
cheerful tone is reported in general business.
Toledo and Detroit are among the cities in,
which greater activity is developing, and the
number of unemployed is confidently expected
to begin decreasing soon.
The success of the New York Automobile'
show has given an optimistic tinge to the whole
industry. A million cars wear out each yiar,
and these will have to' be replaced, in addition
to meeting the demand frort persons who have
never had a car of their own, it is said.' This
would seem to afford a solid basis to one line
of Intsmess. that was especially hard hit" in the
economic readjustment. High rates on railroads
are counted ' on to increase the sales of their
potential competitors, the truck and the pleasure
car. ' " ; ' . --.-'
Restriction" of output in other lines appears
about at an end. detail buying at the year-end
sales has been heavy enough, according to re
ports from important centers, to necessitate re
placement orders' within the next few week?.
With goods bought at the new price levels filling
the merchants' shelves,, and with consumers
short of irfany articles that they have not been
buying' freely, business is expected to take on
new life. The important thing is that the' public,
should realize thai prices are now down as, far
as they will go, oe thaKif they do fall farther
in some lines through lack of demand, the con
sequences might be serious amf far-reaching.

folly of his philosophy, so that he was'r.earl;
like to be wistful that it was not for him whole

CHASE AFTER VITAMINES.
In determining the value of foods,
it is necessary to know how raany
calQrtes they contain, how . much
protein, carbohydrates, and fats, .AH
this is so well established that in
some Slates, the' Jaw requires that
m the case of cattle feeds Informa
tion ou those points be- carried on
the label. - Hut, in addition, it is im
portant to know how much mineral
salts the foods contain and. how
much vitaiuines. ' . ,
The subject of vitamlnes is a new
one and much concerning them re
mains to 85" discof ered, but a dozen
or more laboratories are working
away feverishly trying to supply the
missing data. One of the vitamines
is that which prevents Scurvy. On
this very important subject a lot has
been learned this year.
Summer milk is a very much bet
ter antiscorbutic than winter -milk.
When cows are fed dry facds and
even silage their milk Is poor In the
antiscorbutic principle, but in tht
spring, when they begin to get on
the pastures, their milk immediately
becomes a better protector against
scurvy. "
If , a nursing mother eats plenty
or rresh vegetables, fruit and fresh
meat, her milk contains more of
the scurvy preventive. . If she eats
less of these foods and more dried
food and preserved meats her milk
contains less of it.
Although mifk is a fair antiscor
butic, it is less valuable as such than
raw fruits and vegetables, accord
ing to Drs. T. B. Osborne and . B.
Mendel. TMie vitamine which pre
vents scurvy dos not stand heating
or, drying" well. For instance, -it
is less abundant in pasteurized
milk, boiled milk, condensed milk
and dried milk than in unhcated
liquid milk. -
There is considerable of 1 It in
fnesh raw. meat, but a good deal
less in the same meat after it has
been cooked.
Cooked thoroughly, there is very
little of it left.
1 There is less in dried vegetables
than in fresh ones. Much depends
on how the drying is done. If dried
quickly, -considerable of it is saved.
Hess and Unger found that old po
tatoes contained very little of it,
though new potatoes contained con
siderable. Old carrots had consider
ably less than fresh ones.
In fact, so rapidly is this principle
lost that as between eating properly
Sried vegetables and ' vegetables
vVljioh have heen kept on hand for
months without drying the former
ire the better. None of the other
vitamines are so unstable as this
one. In fact, all the others are fair
ly stable, standing both drying and
cooking fairly well.
The need of this antiscorbutic
principle, is the only leg the raw
food fad had to stand on. Not
much t it Is needed, at 'that. An
apple or an orange or an occasional
glass of ' fresh cider supplies about
ail we really need.
. But let noono think antiscor
butics are unnecessary. It may be
that we who live where there are few
privations riever will have scurvy
