A e — COAL TRONBLE CURE, An officlal of the I'nited Mine Workers of America has suggested as & cure for the recurrent troubles of the coal miners that congress pass “regulatory legislation prohibiting further development of bituminous coal lands for at least ten vears.” In effect he says that the trouble is too many coal properties are being worked, resulting in frequent long periods of inactivity following times of feverish activity. The result of such legislation, course, would be the continual work- ing of fewer mines, with the aban- donment of other coal properties. With this movement would come the laying off of a certain number of men. This is true because there is a cer- tain amount of work necessary to mine the coal required by the coun- try; a certain number of men is needed to mine this coal. Those not needed in the mines being worked would not be able to find work in mines elsewhere. The eventual result the plan would be steady work for a compara- tively few men and cheaper opera- tion with resultant lower cost to con- sumer. This result is the one desired, as suggested in The Herald two weeks ago. But the plan of this official cannot be carried out. Congress may not forbid the development af lands. Buch action would not be constitu- tional in that it would deprive per- sons of property without due process of law. Moreover it is difficult to see how it would help the great body of miners. Throwing many of them out of a job would not accomplish this ", “reMuit. Any reduction in the number _ »- of miners must come from such action as will make the miners change their work voluntarily. Any restric- tions on the development of coal prop- erties must come by making the de- ‘velopment of such properties unwise from the point of view of the own- ers. There is another view to be con- sidered in direct reference to the strike now on. The attitude of men toward traditional authority has . changed. Will it be seen in the stand | ¢+ - taken by the miners toward their leaders? Granted that capital may be much ,to blame in its desire to profit by over-development. Granted that unions aided miners to higher pay. There must be granted, also, that union leaders have been important to the men because of these frequent troubles*and that union leaders would . beestite ‘of less importance were the = scoal industry to work smoothly. * These things being admitted it is to be doubted if, as the period of idle- ness continues, the men will follow their leaders as blindly as they have in the past. Everywhere men are re- belling against formerly constituted authority, open or secret. They are investigating and thinking for them- selves. The miners will not be as subservient to their leaders as they have been in the past. The union men know of the comparative prosperity of non-union miners. The latter will hesitate long before joining in the strike in any great numbers. The union miners will consider more and more - the non-union miners in the recent past. They will ask their leaders why they, too, may not prosper. The day of the political “boss" is passing. It is not unlikely that the day of the labor leader who secks re- to the tmme- the of of prosperity of drastic action workers and There nd there sults by diate detriment of country is passing, also. be political leaders alway will be labor leaders. Tt is belleved, however, that the attitude will force each class to display great- will of men er honesty and wisdom. “ALIBI” AS A DEFLNSL, The defense of criminal cases recently which attract ed the public attention, is one of the most difficult defenses the prosecu- tlon has to meet. Where no eye-witnesses to a crime, an “alibi,” used in there are s usual- B ly is the case, and where circumstan- tial evidence has to be relied upon, the prosecution is practically helpless to meet the declaration that the ac- cused could not possibly have com- mitted the crime, if personal pres- ence was necessary for its perpetra- #lon, such as in the case of murder by the wecused was | co because :‘,: \bbing somewhere else, pe When the trial timony is given the than that in which the is on und the tes of the presence of |pe acoused fn @ certain place other | tic deed was done, | co it of ry well seek that the proseeution cannot v the If was in & certain to swear i in that defendant swears he alleged with up witnesses cused vas not place the m theater, and an companion swears he him there, the the be to produce witnesses who might be was best prosecution could do would |y able to say only that they did not sec the accused in the theater that time; cannot he was not there, hunds are thus tic The alibi fectly proper defense, and through it prove th at they swear The prosecution's iad defense of an is a per on a person unjustly accused may beyond the shadow of w doubt that he he! in is innocent. But in forming an opin- | fon as to the guilt or innocence of a ;-r person accused of a crime, the nature of that defense must be remembered and due weight given to the situa- tion in which its interposition places in sp lo its the prosecution, AN INSULT TO GIRLS bhefore A man with a prefix his | name which should decency if not higher quality, that the “flapper” will be the cause of the next war. He then proceeds to de- nounce girlhood and young woman- a donate declares col be be; a hood of this day. Possibly the flapper, cent of all depravity except eyes of men and women who are 100k~ ing for immorality and uncleanness because it serves their purpose to pre- tend to find it that they may denounce it, may be the cause of a great war. Possibly the words spoken by men and women whose sole happiness rests in a consciousness of, their own recti- tude and a damning of those who do not wear the sort of clothes they wear, enjoy the same sort of vilifi v, will stir up a war that usually inno- in the th ac Dz ed va se be fu; tion they enj will indeed be a war inspired by the young womanhood of the country. For men will stand a great deal as long as they alone are concerned. They will suffer often in silent protest the taking away from them of what they have believed always were thelr rights; they will not be moved to vio- lence by threats against their posses- sions. L/ ¢ But men will not stand a great deal when the womanhood of the country is involved. Defense of home and women and children has been, al- ways, the inspiration of courage, brave action. The right to protect women and children is the proudest possession of the real man. A call upon that duty changes many a man from a thoughtless, careless being in- to an avenging savage. If the girlhood of the land is the cause of a war it will be a great war against all such as the man who uttered the gratuitous insult against girlhood and womanhood; a war against reformers drunk with a con- sciousness of what they consider their own goodness. There is much to be criticised, perhaps, present day dress, and one of the worst things about it is that it has given the chance to such men as the one here referred to to gain cheap publicity by insulting girls and young women with the probable rseult that the “thanks offering’” given him will be swelled to his own personal ad vantage. se m: iel as in th FORMER EMPEROR CHARLES A man skilled at shooting, a keen sportsman, though not a “‘good sports- and an ‘enthusiastic motorist is dead.

The demand is considered a symptom of awakening interest in industrial art. Graduates 80 to positions carrying initial sala- ries of from $1,400 to $2,100 a year. Miss Mary Scovel is director of the department. Most of the courses are of recent origin. The course in weaving, be- lieved to be the only such course of- fered in a normal school of the mid- dle west, was introduced this year in response to a demand from the north- west for teachers of weaving. The weaving course includes learn- ing the different parts of the loom and making hooked and rag rugs. Students also master the chemistry of dyeing and dye the products of their looms as well as weaving them. Other courses taught, each having an enrollment of about 20 are toy making, jewelry, art metal work, pot- tery, printing and lithography, cos- tume design and interior decorating. Students prepare to teach all indus- trial subjects regularly treated in a public school system. The jewelry course is a year and a bhalf old. Machinery used for this course was given by the Manufactur- ing Jewellers' assoclation. 25 Years Ago Today (Taken from Herald of that date) $50 bicycles being sold at the Bab- cock company store for $31.50.—advt The German Rifle club will hold its first shoot of the sewson Good Ieriday.

One of the important phases of the by-laws is the proposed addition to the executive committee of four rep- resentatives elected by the class, two from each army, in addition to the leader, president, marshal, two gen- erals, about a dozen committee chair- men, the secretary, assistant secretary and two vice-presidents. Governor Here Sunday. Plans were formulated for the services next Sunday at which time Governor Everett J. Lake will be present. At the request of Governor liake there will be no demonstration. A simple reception will take place in the church office prior to the service, and the state’'s chief executive will be escorted to the platform by Rev. John L. Davis. Clergy Invited. Letters have been sent to all the ministers, priests and rabbis in the city inviting them to occupy seats on the platform. It was decided that monthly bu ness meetings of the entire ¢ are impracticable, but that business meetings of each army will continue and inter-army matters will be handled by the executive committee. No Verbal Announcements. A ruling, adopted by the committee, and about which there has been much talk for some time, will eliminate an- nouncements made by any person from the floor of the church during the session. These announcements, which are approved by the class, will be printed on the calender henceforth and thus save considerable lost time during the meeting. e et s e s — PALACE — Next Saturday Matinee Special attraction for Children —and— FREE SOUVENIR Given to Each Child Attending 1S NOT SINCERE Roraback and Manufacturers Are in Control, Gardiner Writes In an open letter to republican mayoralty candidate George A, Quig- ley, Henry B, Gardiner, candidate for that office on the I"armer-Labor tick- ot, questions Mr. Quigley's sincerity in his attack upon the J.

Were you sincere when you made your at- tack upon the manufacturers of this city? Or, were you trying to make yourself appear fine in the eyes of the labor element; I know what your answer will be! This is.it: I have al- ways employed, and been in favor of the union mechanics, I opine, George, that you, in your six years of admin- istration, as the chief executive of- ficer of this city, could have written into the centracts, of the building construction of our municipal build- ings, a clause showing your prefer- ence as to what class of skilled labor you preferred. Did you make the at- tempt? I opine not! Why? Be- cause you were controlled by the very ones you are knocking today. Alleges Blacklisting “Do not camouflage. You may fool a part of the people, a part of the time, but you cannot fool ajl of the people all of the time.

The above citizens were denled the right to earn a living in a free country and have heen brought down to a degree of poverty, by these avaricious methods, Have you, George, ever made the semblance of an attempt to stop these un-Amer- lean acts?

For Union Labor “I have many reasons, George, to question your sincerity, Inasmuch as 1 personally have been in contact with fssues, while you were in office though you could have been of benefit to those who toll for the sustenance of life, Did you make an attempt to re- lieve the situation in any way? No, you side-stepped the issue. I opine from your attitude that the applause from the gallery, is as music to your ears, But the wise man Solomon, sayeth that all is vanity. “Let us be men: men having the courage of our convictions, men of principle, not being beguiled by vani- ty, or the deceitfulness of riches, which is as sounding brass and tink- ling cymbal.
