When Collector of Customs Edwards| & Xew York received warning to the effoct that the custom house waa te hel Bigwn up he regarded it as a joke. He Bad no 'idea who might be trying to get h nervous but he didn't take it seri- wusly. Nevertheless he didn't disregard it He considered that inasmuch as he Bad been warned the safest thing te de ;I to guard against apy such possi- y lest what he comsidered 1o .. soke proved otherwise Naturally the time to take precau- thens against operations which are dis- elesed in advance is before they take pigee. He might have thrown the wars- Ing into the wastebasket and the cus- tems house might have been dam- agpd by so much as a fly speck. But to do. %0 was to take a chance when good sdgment directed him to follew the oolirse of safety firet. I¥hether he would have taken a sec- onll thought about the matter had mot the eity and country been aroused by the infernal machine in Wall strest emly he can say. But as a means of preven- tion he placed the warning in the hands of the Withorities and steps to frustrate any plot were ken. The building was net blown up, but who knows but what the very precautions that he was instru- mestal in having taken did mot upset the plat? Perhaps it is as easy to believe that thére was no danger as it is that the suArds placed about the building fur- nidhed the vital protection. There is lit- the to fudge by exeent that the building is today intact though vigilance may nat relax for some days. Had the same course been followed with the wamings given concerning the Wall street explosion it is entirely possi. Bje that it would have been prevented of ymore known about those concerned theremn™ As it is it has emphasized the nce of making the most of ad- information whether it proves te be' worth anything or not. It better be I8 the bands of the anthorities than in 1hé wastebasket. FRANCE'S PRESIDENT. Apparently the question of who is go- ing o be the mext president of- Framce, ,thp successor to Deschanel has been determined by the expression of willing- on the part of Premier Millerand to Acoept the office. Previousiy he had de- clared that he did mot want it and weuld not takie it The office of president is faf less desirable for 2 man of action thin that of premier, Pressure ‘was, Bowever, brought to bear upon Millerand and while be insisted that another should be put in the presidency insistence that he be the man prevailed That he will be more than a figure- bead in the office is to W expected. As premier he has taken a stand in behalf of France and French interests which canagt fail to be recogmiged and it Is unguestiongbly that which hae brougiat about such an insistent demand that he be made president. Though his indicated willingness to give up one office for the other does not mecessarily mean his elec- tign it will unquestionably result. No other candidate for the office is thus far announced Jast what will be the outeome of the advoeacy by Millerand of giving more autharity 1o the president of France will be,awaited with increased interest now thal he sesms likely to be the next French president.

TACKLING THE OPERATORS. Although charges were made as long g0 as last May that coal producing eering, it is enly in the last davs ef Sep- tember that the department of justice has calied a federal grand jury together in special session for the purpese of roseculing the alleged offenders. Dur- g the epring and summer these com- panies have apparenily been doing hus- iness in tho mannér complained of last May, the consumers have been obliged to meet the demands and in many in- stances to get along with curtailed sup- Dlies because of the prices demanded, The announced determination to pres- ecute 350 coal operators comes after it has been shown that the shipping board was even being forced to pay what the chairman called outrageous prices and after government reports have shown that the cost ef cosl preduction was so low as to make the prices exacted en- tirely unjustified. The indictments asked against the ceal operators should resyit in the bringing out of facte which have been obtained by the dcpartment’s investigators and those which are possessed by the opera- tors. It should alse determine Whether the profiteering can be charged direetly to the operators gr Whether it is due to thoss who have handled the coal after it has left their hands. With the cost of production held to e not ever four dol- lars a ton, and in many instances mot as much a3 that by a third, it can be read- ily appreciated that the high prices de- manded have Jft it possible for big profits to be made somewhere. It has been hoped that this Would be found out long before this but frem the action that is now being taken the department would seem to be in 2 way to determine whers the gouging has been and who has been doing it. It is a time for reveaiing thos® things which the eperators didn't want to discloss during the consideration of the recent wage award by the c-al com- mission. The move of the gove-mment, however, hasn't thus far brought any slump in the market or served to in- crease the amount gvailable. EDITORIAL NOTHS.
