C. fa ca MUST PERFORM OWN POLICE DUTY. Under our form of government the state fully con- trols its domestic affairs, maintains peace and good order, manages all of its affairs in its own way, con- forming in all things to the constitution and general laws of the federal government which as a compo- nent part it upholds. The relations between state and federal governments are co-operative, and of mutual support. The general government does not invade nor interfere with the local affairs of the state, and it is only inthe case of crises, when the state is un- able to cope with the situation that the aid of the federal government is invoked. Even in these in- stances it ic alow to act. The state is jeatous of its rights and powers and nity. The most bitter debates in the congress have been upon questions growing out of the respective rights of state and federal governments and their infringe- ment. The matter is brought to mind in the refusal of the federal government to send regular troops to quell the disturbances in the coal regions of West Virginia and Kentucky, on appeal of the governors. The federal government calling attention of the state governments to the fact that they must provide police or militia protection of people and property and maintain or- der within their borders, and only in the event that eisturbance became so grave that the state, having exhuusted its own means, was no longer able to cope ‘with the disorder, would the federal power feel justi- fied in interfering. Our history is full of instances where individual states have indignantly resented an attempt of the general government to invade their local rights. The very constitution itself would have failed of ratifica- tion had not assurances been given that the First Con- gress would propose amendments certifying t6 those rights. That was done on September 25, 1789, wheh the first ten amendments were submitted to the States and subsequently ratified. In 1809 the state of Pennsylvania went so far as to oppose by its mi- as yet unflosted. smell at every apparently si 4 of its normal coal requirements, and being one litia the enforcement of an order of a Federal court. Just before the War of 1812 the New England States opposed the so-called “restrictive system.” In 1825 Georgia’ defied the supreme court in the famous Cherokee cases, A few years later certain northern states passed “Personal Liberty Laws” and obstructed the operation of the Fugitive Slave Act. In 1832 South Carolina “nullified” a Federal tariff law, thus contributing materially to the situation that culmin- ated in the Civil war. In more recent times the state of Illinois resisted President Cleveland when he sent Federal troops :ato Chicago during the Pullman strike, although he based his action solely on the fact that the strike was interfering with the transportation of United States mails. Sometimes it has been the legislation, sometimes the judicial and sometimes the executive branch of the federal government that has provoked the states to re- sistence to the authority at Washington. Always such interference has tended to the destruction of our form of governmett, and once it almost accomplished the dissolution of the union. It is very easy for a state executive, when there is a disturbance of the peace, to call for aid from the national government, which may have federal troops encamped nearby. But that aid should never be granted until the police power of the state has ex- hausted its resources. Not only is there danger of a elash of authority in the one instance, but there is the establishment of a precedent that is bound to re- turn and plague us in the future. In the ease of West Virginia, there was no evi- dence that the state had exerted its authority to re- store peace and order in its coal mining districts. Rather would it appear that the governor became panic-stricken at the renewal of the trouble and in- stead of using the power in his own hands he sought the greater power of the government, and with it the cost and responsibility of putting down the riot. How- ever, by the level-headed judgment of the federal gov- ernment its power was preserved within its own proper sphere and the governor was forced to shoulder his ewn troubles and perform his sworn duty. ee PRESS AND PROPAGANDA. One of the greatest of British newspapers is the Manchester Guardian. It is as sane and human as is given a newspaper to be. It is in all of its inten- tions what its name would imply. Respecting the swb- ject of publicity or propaganda it says in a recent e2 “Nobody can have ever taken a share in the con- duct of a newspaper without feeling the force of the temptation to mske news subservient to opiuion. The modern science of publicity has proved more conclu- sively than ever that the most formidable weapon which can be used against any cause is simply silence. Actors and authors, managers and publishers, dread ne criticism so much as mere absence of notice. Poli- ticians thrive upon being attacked. It is only when they are ignored that they begin to languish. It is the breath of life to everybody whose work is a more or less constant call for public attention that all the allo- cation of space in the press should be governed by an honest attempt at equity as between what each pa- per likes and what it dislikes in the way of opinion. An editor who felt his party likely to be heavily dam- aged by some argument in a speech in parliament could probably do three times as much to lessen the! damage by omitting the argument from his parlia- mentary report as he could by countering it in a lead- ing article. These things are understood now as they} have never been before. They are the basis of an ex- traordinary growth of what is loosely called ‘Propa- ganda’—the business of palming off upon the public, as‘informstion offered for information’s sake, state- ments which seem to be of fact, but are subtly medi- cated with suggestions a s to some party, to it, as mice must smell at each crumb lest some tasteless virus be in it. ganda-ridden world a journalist’s code conduct will have to grow stricter tha: have to feel more definitely than ever marily the agent of his readers desiring such news on the one hand and various interests desiring to certain impressions among that public on the other. He must have only one employer and not two.” dda > 2 taka THE CAUSE OF THE CONTENTION. territory in question. The Commerce Monthly is au- thority for the statistics in the matter. Poland’s fu- ture export trade depends largely upoh how the dis- pute over control is finally settled. The importance to Poland of the inclusion or ex- clusion of Upper Silesia is apparent. It means the difference between having to import more bag ores most important coal-exporting countries of Ei Moreover, should the Silesian fields be ceded to many, the Poles believe that it will be difficult maintain an economic independence of that country. I? Poland possesses Upper Silesia, it can exchange coal for the German manufactures and technical equip- ment needed for the development of its resources; otherwise it will have to sell the major portion of its exportable surplus in German markets in payment for fuel and equipment. Coal is one of the most important of Poland’s min- eral resources. The deposits lie in the Dombrowe-Si- lesian basin covering 2,100 square miles and extend- ing into Poland, Czecho-Slovakia and Silesia. The Polish area proper includes over 700 square miles, while the richest section with an area of over 1,200 miles lies in Upper Silesia. The Silesian workings, moreover, have been developed much further than those of other parts of the basin. In no small degree the future export position of Poland depends on the manner in which cortro] of this Upper Silesian terri- tory is settled. The exploitable coal reserves of Poland have been estimated at 32 billion gross tons, as compared with reserves in Upper Silesia of 61 billion tons. The coal in the Polish area is of good quality and yields but lit- tle ash, but is not suitable for cooking, as is much of the Silesian coal. Production in 1913 aggregated about 9,000,000 gross tons of coal] (including a small amount of lignite expressed in terms of coal) as ‘against the Silesian output of 42,500,000 tons. The coal con- sumption of Poland in 1913, including coke and lig- nite in terms of coal, aggregated 19,138,000 tons,.so that domestic production fell short of consumption by approximately 10,000,000 tons. Of this difference 7,- 730,000 tons, or about two-fifths of total consump- tion, was imported from Upper Silesia. This repre- sents about 29 per cent. of Silesian coal exports. The domestic consumption of coal in Upper Silesia approxi- mated 13,700,000 tons. As for Germany, the pre-war ‘eonsumption of Siles- ian coal in territories now definitely German was somewhat less than 12,300,000. gross tons, or about 9 per cent of the total consumptior: of these territories, which aggregated 137,900,000 tons. Pre-war produc- tion in the same areas (excluding production in the Saar, Alsace-Lorraine and Upper Silesia) aggregated 155,600,000 tons, including lignite expressed in terms of coal. Should the Germans restore their production to its pre-war level they would be able to meet the al- lied requirements of 23,600,000 gross tons of coal per annum, as fixed by the Spa agreement, and’ still suffer relatively little impairment of supplies for do- mestic use. Germariy’s position as a coal exporter, However, would be very seriously impaired by the loss of Silesian coal. 4 § i pepe ee Ate Sea THRILLING SENATORIAL DEBATE, If some digniifed senator in the solemn senate of the United States should rise in his place and chant several paragraphs from some ancient patent office report we imagine the audience would get about the same thrill out of it as it did out of this much of the record faithfully reported by the Congressional Record: Mr. King (of Utah)—I feel sure that this colloquy between the senator from Idaho (Mr. Borah), and my- self wiil make converts on the other (the Republican) side. Mr. Kenyon—I should like to ask the senator from Utah, in view of the fact that there are now only eight senators in the chamber, where he expects these con- verts to come from as a result of the debate? Mr.. King—Sometimes, Mr. President, the truth, dis: covered or proclaimed in this chamber, percolates be- yond these walls. Perhaps those who are absent in body are here in spirit. Mr. Borah—And vice versa. Mr. Williams—Above all things, the senator ought to help me to get rid of what we call “the courtesy of the senate.” Mr. Borah—I did not know we had any. Mr. Williams—Oh, yes; we have it—well, not real courtesy, but the courtesy of inimicality toward pri- vate people recommended for office without the pre- vious ‘sanction of a senator who may be, and often is, the bitter personal enemy of the appointee, for no bet- ter reason than that the appointee has. never admired the senator as “a statesman.” ee ee TRYING TO FLIM KANSAS. Things are a little lurid down in Kansas these days. It is regarded by the non-partisan league as fertile ground for the sowing of seed that will flourish and it is hoped bring forth a crop of converts to-a fool fad that has been discredited everywhere else andi driven out. Townley, himself, is present and ‘as usual having his difficulties. While there are a number born every second it is believed that they are not be- ing born in Kansas. To a degree the Townely. move- ment recalls the old populistic days with this excep- tion—the people are not embracing the new faith as readily as they did populism and the opponents are more numerous and more alive to the dangers of ship wreck. Kansas has passed through so many disastrous ex- periences, that she is both wise and leary and be- sides Kansas civilization is of a higher order than that of North Dakota and is in need of no imported instruc- tion, having shown a remarkable aptitude in caring for herself and the troubles that arise within her domain. Townley and his disciples have encountered miuch rough sledding and natives say there is more to come. Meanwhile debates are in progress with every pros- pect that Kansas will not be led astray.
