Gov, Pinchot's gesture in planning to have the operators take care-of 10 per cent of the probable increase, caused by the Increased pay to miners, and to have freight rates reduced to take care of the rest of it, is a popular plan, of course, But with the coal in- dustry in the complicated position it s, the plan is not apt to amount to anything. g We may still predict that coal will not cost more than it did last year in this city; we may congratulate our- selves that there will be plenty of coal for the rest of the country, too, even 1f the price is increased in places other than this city. But as dealers here have sald that practically three-quar- ters of the winter's supply had already been purchased by consumers here and as the amount received later would take care of the remaining 25 per cent, if there is not enough al- ready on hand, “we should worry.” It is not likely that the Interstate Commerce Commission will single out coal as one commodity upon which to reduce the freight rates. If the commission did this it would furnish an excuse for demands that it reduce rates on many other articles. The 60 cents a ton increase will not be ab- sorbed until the whole coal industry is overhauled. It is more than proba- ble that the statement is correct to the effect that the operators could absorb part of this 60 cents a ton increase and still make abundant profits. But it would be a difficult thing to prove and the operators will not aid, of course, in proving this to be the case. The general public all over the coun- try will probably have to be satisfled with the khowledge that there will be no anthracite strike for two years if the agreement in contemplation is carried out. Two years? year from now? for strikes at that time? there would be tremendous from public opinion were the soft coal miners to strike simultaneously with the hard coal miners. President Lewis Well, what ahout a Are there no plans Certainly danger | of the United Mine Workers is too| shrewd a man to plan for such a thing. But—well, next year a hard coal strike is not probable. What a splendid chance this would be for a strike by the miners of coft coal. That 18 the next thing to worry about and, possibly, to plan for. THE MUSICAL SEASON, | The announcement by one of thc‘ city's musical organizations of its pro- | gram for the winter emphasizes one of the pleasant features of that sea- son—the musical enjoyment we have | before us. 1 Now it is all very well to talk of | musical masterpieces, culture, inspira- | tion and that sort of thing which ap-} peals strongly to musical experts but| which means little to the ordinary! person. You have to call things their technical names sometimes, and | music is something that makes |hc:: thorough musician spread himself | gomewhat. But the ordinary chap pases over these technical descriptions | and smiles without much interest at announcements of musical entertain- ments which he has never attended and which he has no keen desire to attend. This is not as it should be but the trouble js that it is hard to change the situation. All one to do is to try. We may not know that an “Opus 16" is, whether a “‘Symphony” is a bit of jazz, a waltz or a regular song. But that very symphony, if we took the intcrest to go and hear it, would bring a sort of new light on ! things for us. Quite likely it would make us walk a bit thoughtfully; would make us feel that there even if there no immediate clal profit in them. Quite likely the hearing of a glorious song, a splendid chorus, or a solo played on the violin | of a well-trained musicizn would be entirely worth while, But musicians seldom little the and how stand what they are driving it matter how interested the lovers are in us and how much they thu- by is able home more | were things worth doing in life be finan- in realize how rest of us know of music, hard it is for us to under No | st music- ir want to have oin in their er glasm, they can’t get i e are entirely agnorant us ’ of thei THELAND IN THE LEAGUE business, perhaps and perbaps we We feel like congratulating Ireland have 5o ides that bnowing mpre of it would be a good thing for us |and the League both; dhe latter for Well, it would be & good thing for having quickly repognized the full s all of us—te give musie &|meaning of the recent Irish elections tnal Perhaps ohani) ~| and welcoming her inle the organism- llr ean't sing or play # mouth-organ | tien that stands for peace In Europe; even—hut we ean feel, and we ean the fopmer because there I every | think, and we can de We chanee of her hecoming ene of the have 1o be beasts whieh the musie | strong smaller states of Europe.

Macon, Ga,, Sept. 11.—Macon's flogging cases probably will be reach- ed in city court here today, with one of the seven charges against Dr. C. A. Yarbrough alleged “whipping boss’ of Macon, to be taken first. With the arrest last night of J. . Durkee, organizer of the Ku Klux Klan in Tacon, the klan for the first time was directly connected with the whip- pings. Durkee was released under $5,000 bond on two charges of riot- ing and assault and battery. Charges that a personal report on the second\flogglng of R. F. Mills who was whipped on January 13 and November 4, 1922, was made to im- perial headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan by a represertative of the Ma- con klan are made in a statement is- sued by Rhodes McPhall, said for- merly to have been connected with the klan as a publicity writer, which was published by the Macon Tele- graph today. Tt is charged that let- ters were written by Mills to Gov- ernor Hardwick asking fér protection never reached the governor. Mr. McPhall is quoted as charging that M. O. Dunning, chief of staff for the realm of Georgia, who is here with two klan detectives openly work- ing with county officials in running down the floggers “is in Macon, merely a8 chief spokésman for H. W. Iivans, present imperial wizard of the klan to save the Kklan's hide.” It seemed that Mills' life had been made-wo miserable since his first flog- |ging that he had his lawyer write Governor Hardwick an appeal for protection the article quotes McPhaily “A few days later a stranger called on him, Yaid he was from the gov- ernor's office and assured him he would he protected. It was a night or two after this that Mills was given the second flogging. He then com- municated with Governor Hardwick by telephone and was told by the chief executive that he had never | heard of his case until that moment land that no representative from his |office had been sent to see him.” Mr. MePhail in his statement charges that |the letter disappeared before it |reached the state house mail sack. “My informant,” says the statement, | “at this juncture highly commended hwvn mail disributing clerks and one | inspector for their ‘faithfulness’.” Mr. Dunning when asked about the as - Sow ‘Today—Reap Tomorrow The first dollar deposited in a savings ac- count is the seed of success.
