That means that though the country needs “0al, the strike has been called off and negotiations are underway there is no disposition to treat the consumer, the to gove ent or the country fair, or to do anything to re e the suffering rauged by the coal shortage.

The country well knows they did not ac- quiesce in the court order because they wanted to or out of fairness. They are not to become martyrs for obeying the law. THE DEAD HEROES. Not with the noisy welcome that has characterized the return of most of the transpor bringing home our . boys who saw service in Europe was the Lake Daraga brought into New York harbor bearing the bodies of the sol- diers who Pad died on the Archangel front, but that transport nevertheless brought the bodies of those who had given their all for their country to find thelr last resting place in the soil of the natise land This is of course only the first of many funeral ships that will be for some time engaged in the task of get- ting home the dead heroes who fell in battle or died from disease in the sorvico while in France. There arg thousands of bodies that must be transporied if the dead are all brought back. Inasmuch as it is the policy of the government to return only those far om requests are made it. can bhe appreciated that there will be many who will continue to sleep across the water near where they gave up their lives. cording to the which have heen made Secrctary Baker announces that the work of bringing back the American dead will be expedited as far as those who died in hospitals behind the lines concerned. This does not include thuse who died in battle- or in the fighting zones, because of a regu- ation in France that prohibits it even n the case of its own. How many. of ‘the hospital dead here are has not been disclosed but with the return of those bodies the ef- forts of this government to obtain from France permission for the early return of the much larger number must not be relaxed. Each family must decide what course it wishes to pursue but in each case where it is possible the request to have the dead Brought home should be complied with. arrangements with France, REALIZE OUR DANGERS. . For a considerable period of time there have been efforts made to awak- en the country to a full realization of ge dangers it faces from those with- Ih its midst who came here for no gpod, those who cannot speak the En- glish language and those who know nothing of dur institutions or ideals, But many of whom are like sheep fol- lowing a leadef. We also have been told of the necessity of keeping away from ‘our shores the undesirables of otier: nations and of preventing them from coming in across our border. Daring- all this time there have been those who- have felt that the warn- ings were overdrawn, that an extreme view was being taken of the situation and that all would come out right in vhe ¢nd if we only exercised reasona- ble care and allowed the safety valves to do their part. L It has even been claimed that most of the dangerous talk that has heen indulged in would have no effect upon 1 reasonable audience and the errors in it could be readily pointed out, but n ¥4, nunwieu wm&xifi, SATURDAY, msza 15, 19197 the fact seems' to!he over‘lrmked that wmost of these audiencea are not rea- sonable. ‘' They are) subject. to leader- ship for bad as.readily’ as good and whatever explanations might be made of certain . speakers" charges they would never reach the audiences that heard them, 2 - But developments have taken place during and’since the war, culminating in the revélations by the department of justice an@:: sacre of veter- ans in the state ef Washington, which cannot fail to make the law making powers of this country realize that it is time to provide th® laws that will make it possible for the authorities to deal with the situation as it should be and give the couniry, its government, its institutions, its freedom and its | democracy the ' protection that it is entitled to. dangers. It is time to realize our PROHIBITION IN OHIO.’ Although the. federal amendment providing for proliibition has - been ratified there was nevertheless much interest taken in the vote in Ohio last week on the prohibition questioh, be- cause even though there is a warm fight on over the enforcement of war time prohibition and it is réalized .that nationwide prohibition will become ef- fective in January, the vote in Ohio served as an expression of the people rather than that of & legislature. According ‘to”the official returns Ohio voted against ‘the ratification of the prohibition amendment- by a majority of 542 in.a vote of over .a million. That would indicate that even though it shows a slight majority against the federal legislation that even.on that entiment is pretty evenly divided. As to the-matter of statewide pro- hibition it does not appear that Ohio has undergone much of a change for though in the vote of two years ago there was a dry majority of 46,000 there was at thig time a dry majority of over 41000 -and-the proposal to sanction the sale of 2.75 per cent. beer was even defeated by-a majerity just under 30,000, It seems to be conclusively shown by the expression of the people that Ohio not only wants prohibition for itself byt is convinced -after trial-that it is desirable, It is- unwilling to lift the ban and it will not permit the sale of the lower percentage beer. On the matter of ent stand by a very small majority but which shows that many thousand who demand prohibition for them- selves were not willing to force it up- on others by their vote. READY TO ACT, When Attorney General Palmer lets it be known that aliens rounded up by the department of justice agents in many cities of the conntry'in raids upon the union of Russian workers will be deported as soon as hearings have been held by the department of labor gives indication fhat some re- sults in this direction can be antici- pated unless these hearings are pro- longed indefinit: has been the case in so many instances. “There are only a few of those who were brought east from the Pacific coast under deportation orders who have been sent out of the country. There are many prominent radicals who have continued-to- show. defiance to the déportation attempts of this government and it can be realized tha' unless different tactics are practiced in dealing with =uch dangerous people more -and. worge trouble from .them can be, expected., Heretofore it has been pmaintained that there was difficulty in_handling the Russian cases inasmuch’ as they were subjécts of bolsHevik Ruséia ‘dnd should ‘they Dbe deported' to the anti- bolshevik sections they would berla- ble to he shot. -On the other hand be- cause af the fact that there s no com- munication between this country and bolsheyiki Russia it would be ‘impos- sible to send them there. What has developed to change’ ‘the situation has not been disclosed. Where in Russia those who may be deported will be sent is not announced but the tement to the effect tbat they will be returned to Russia indi- nted that some progress hias been made 'in sulving the puzzling situa- tion and not a mirute tco soon can the radicals, anarchists, communists and others who are in favor of and work- ing for the overthrow of this govern- ment be started on their way. We have stood 1he piesence of such people here too lang already but there will be some good come out of it if we are really alive to our predicament. EDITORIAL NOTES.

THE MAN WHO TALKS, When Lady Astor told her English constituents “there was a difference | between workers and shirkers” she coined a phrase which made John Bull sit up and take netice. And" the shirkers everywhere are more nume) ous than most of us dare think. This class is & private nuisance and a pub- lic burden, and they cost every city-in’ tie country the size of Norwich thou- sands of dollars every year in bad debts; and the workers are taxed more in profits for goods in order that the dealers may be kept from bank- ruptcy. The good citizen- is ithe one who . works and who pays. Shirkers’ simply add to the burdens of others' and to the weakness of the state and the government. What they are guilty of is sneaking out .of their duties and responsibilities. . And many uLshlrker thinks of himself as a patri- c It may be well to remember. that “men like bullets go farthest when| they are smoothest.” He gets on. best who avoids friction, and who denies bimself the qualities of the sponge. The square-dealer still continues.to be the winner regardless ‘of the criss- cross habits of the men of this, age. \hen it comes today to the law of. supply and demand, in men and mate- . quality is the thing which is alaimingly short. The way we do tnings which make for greatness .al- ways counts for or against .us. There is no toboggan slide to success. It is only the common roads the cylin~ cer auto can take us over. Honest ac- tion and smooth methods win all that worth winning. Do not get devoted to any one thing and become too enthusiastic over it, whether it be an ambition to be -weal thy or simply good. The one-idea man, whether devoted to self or to his Maker, soon becomes a monomaniac, wnick at once dis him. Rare is the person, let me tell you, who is al- ways sane. The monomani: ness seized Germany and hy her acts she uvset the world; and all mankind ems to have gone mad! It looks asq monomania may hecome - epidemic like ihe bubonic plague, or any other. man-cestroying - disease. Men today are crazily demanding everything-for. themcclves, regardless of its efféct upon ir.dustry or business. This mono- mania for personal gain must subside and Jalance or sanity be restored be- fore ihe nations again prosper. Man asserts his rights and malkes his | demands and does not seem to.recog- | nize the limits of either. Reason is the only judge of these limitations, but man declines to submit to it. Nothing | will go right in this world regardless] of balance; and balance cannot be ig- nored since an unwritten law makes it imperative. Without balance there i always disorder, and that is discord. Men cannot escave the just conse- quiences of their acts. fect cperate correctly in all the af- fairs- of men. No man can be dis- honest or unjust and realize the sense of honor, and righteousness an honest and just person does. We can as| easily n:ake ourselves victims as mas- ters and in our disregard for truth we ociten do it, Our moods make up the comedy of life; and in a way we are all come- dians. Our faces are more changeable than the skies-in gladness and disap- pointment; and to witness all thel phases of iife is to laugh. _If God made man the only creature who laughs, which is doubtful, he also made him to be laughed‘a We are all inheritors of a million' moods. We have more moods every day than we have fingers and toes, and lying be- tween our ambitions and. attainments in iife there are crowded . ten thous- and laughs, and perhaps three times as many smiles! "Man is a creature of fantastic, blessed, sad and “ melting moods; and is as changeable as the weather, and Boston has fifty-three different kinds of weather in day. Without our moods should we be in- teresting? As we look toward Germ;m‘ how many have noticed that “she doesn’t| look like the last match in the tray— the one that will not burn!” Germany seems to be most rapidly recovering her sanity and ready to take the in- dustrial ang commercial leadership of the world. The Germans aver “they have been outnumbered, but mot out- | generalled,” and since unionism. which is rending most of the nations of the earth had a German origin; and the German unionists are willing to make) lbng days for half what our unions demand for a short one, and have agreed to give daily one hour’s work to aid thé government, how does the German claim of superior generalship look to you? Just at present it.seems difficult to positively judge of the mer- its or demerit of the German claim. Do vou think we hold ‘in cldse. es- teem cnough the dear old mothers, and the lovelight we used to see in. their eyes?

There is one thing we must all ad- mit, that if we are religious it takes something more thau ' the meeting- house and loyalty to it to prove it, for it requires something within us which shines without, as “tha: soul's calm sunshine and ‘heartfelt joy.” Should not religion make us, appear different from those who know it not?

In four years British admfralty department wh under Rear Admiral M. Philpoits conducted salvage operations in Biit- ish. and. foreign waters, salved vessels and recovered property valued] at a quarter of a bilion dollars. The special department came existence in the autumn of 1915 and under the supervision of Rear Ad- miral Greatorex and Commodore F. F. W Young, the hero of Ostend and Zecbrugge, it quickly became efficient. The story of how the sunken wrecks were brought to light as told by & man who saw the operation is one of the most lr‘Al‘e:ung ever to.d Hidden is the mist of s a tradition in the nav known of -the labors of the salvage fleet. There is a touch of romance su rounding a wreck; the work of a di stirs the imagination; but, apart f wrecks and -divers, this small fleer— vital as were its operations when un- restricted submarine warfare strewed the seas Wwith derelicts—had notking spectacular to recommend Yet it has lifted cargo steamers off rocky ledges and -has dragged them, badly holed from the depths of the sea.

In the intervals of work in various waters it has acted as a valuable in- telligence-agent to the fighting forces ang has compelled enemy submarines to yield up -their secrets from the sea bottom. Now that this splendiq efficient or- ganization has concluded its work, the members are in many cases pursuing their calling with private firms—the on, the steamer at was completed a few last contract under its super: rescue of an ' American Penarth, ago. , Some of its divers are still bringnlmg the up_gold from the strong rooms of Laurentic; but its nuclens of steamers—DMelita, Racer, Mariner and Wrangler—m. chased with all the latest equipmert.
