I8 furthefance of his plan for in- creasing the production of cosl President Harding has addressed telegrams to governors of 28 states in which he urges them {o second his invitation to the coal operators to resume produc- tign and to assure them the protection to which they are entitled from the state. Anticipating that there may be some hesitant ones he gives assurance that there will be prompt and full sup- port furnished by the federal govern Wherever stats ef- r are inadequate. This means another step in the plan to overcome the coal strike. Every rea- somably effort to bring sbout an adjust. ment through other means has been unguccessful and it has plainly gotten to the point whers something else must be done. Such appeals to the governors plain- iy show where the governmment wtands and what It is prepared to do, Those who go to work are going to be given protection. The right of those who want to work to do so is going to be protect- ed. The real patriotic governor will declare that thers is no need for the assurance, that he recog- uty to the public at large, and not solely one class, and he will use every means within his power to see that the threatened fuel shortage is over- come and the welfare of the people erved However, to the spineless governors the president has given needed rein- forcement. He points out to them thelr Sty and gives them to understand that i they fail to measure up to it, or Iif by Any chance there are conditiens in their Mates with which they canmot ecope there are the resources of the govern- ment which will be emploved. President Harding puts his finger on the situstion when he says, “Your state yovernment and the federal government responsible for maintained ronditions under which fres men, will- mg to work, may work In safety.” And that great body of Americans who rec- sgnize that right will glory In' the ‘posi- Mon which the president has takem re- rarding it governme COLLECTING FROM GERMANY.

MEXICO'S NEPED. It 1s to be hoped that there is ground for the beliof that has been stimulated A the result of the confersnces Which have been held by Minister De la Huer- ta of the Mexican government with Pres- Ment Harding and Secretary Hughes that new and valuable progress has been made in paving the way for the bringing about of the much desired rec- sgnition of the Obregon government by Ihe United States For the matter of a year and a halt Mexico has been looking forward to s accomplishment.

There are times when the display of leniency is justified and to_be . There are times when it is the best so- lution and is responsible for the acensed taking 2 new and decidedly different view of things, but it is equally appar- ent that it is subject to abuse and meeds to be carefully guarded against. Let it become understood that elemency is to be handed out to esch and every ome who bids for it and the laws which are established for the prevention of crime and lawlessness will amount to noth- ing. In this connection it s impossible to look otherwise than with approval up- on the decision that has been rendered by President Harding to the plan for the wholesale pardoning of federal pris- oners who were engaged in endeavors to destroy the authority of the gov- ernment or to accomplish the break- down of government. Such are to be regarded solely as enc. mies of the nation, and to pardon them would simply be telling them that the sentence imposed when they were triod was unjustified and that they should be set at liberty that they may the quick- er resume thelr efforts to accomplish thelr - aims. At the same time it is to be realized that the acts for which they wers. com- victed were not all of the same type and that while there might be extenuating circumstances in the cases of some there would be none concerning others. To ask the president to approve & blan- ket pardon under such conditions is out of the question, and certainly his re- fusal to do so Is just what the coun- try expected and what is to be expéctel in these days when there is so much radicalism and sa much disregard for| law and established government. CHARLES R. MILLER. As editor of one of the country's and the world's greatest newspapers for more than half of his life of more than three score and ten Charles R. Miller wielded an influence that was widely distributed through the New York Times, Thus in his death not only the paper, but the country and American journal- ism lose a man of strong qualities. Mr. Miller has been responsible in a large degree for the remariable achievements of the Times. He was connected with it for a number of years before he became its editor. He knew its troubles and he figured in its trials. It has not always been the robust news- paper that it is today, but in Pringing it up to Its present position Editor Miller was & force of inestimable value and his death is golng to mean a vacan- ey which it will not be easy for it to an, Becanse he had demonstrated his abil- ity in that direction Tather than be- cause he had definitely picked it out for, his 1ife’s work was he brought te devote his efforts to American journalism in in which ranks he quickly went to the top. He was & man who worked on safe and sane principles, who was insistent, upon adherence to the same at all times and without any question he was founl to be the propoment or oppoment in a cause because he conscientiously believed it was right. Forty years service In one positien is a remarkable tribute to the ability. of the man and likewise is it to his ever- lasting credit that the Times s today so much stronger in contrast to the time when he assmumed tho editorship and brought efforts and influence to bear in its behalf. New England hes had added interest in his career because he was 2 New England product. EDITORIAL NOTES. Money, of course, is the last thing in the world that the bolsheviki would be expected to want.

His familiar “Venice Preserved,” although not acted in our day, is recognized as one of the finest tragic dramas since Shakespeare. This pley was translated into almost every modern language. Like a true poet, he let others reap the profit of his work. He kept on strugeling against this malign fate. His infatuation | for the popular actress, Elizabeth Barry, helped to drag him down, for she spurned ' all his intentions, but the more she spurned the more desperate and despond- | ent he grew, until he finally died on April 16, 1685, when he was only thirty- three years of age. There has been 'much mystery as to the cause of his death. The earllest ac- count is supplied by Anthony a'Wood, Who says that “he made his last exit in a house in Tower Hill, called the Bull, as I have heard” According to Oldys, the Bull was a sponging-house. Giles Jacob describes it as a public-house. Denis, the critic, asserts that, Otway “languished in adversity unpitied and dy'd in an ale house unlamented.” Denis Is also credited with the statement that Otway had an iftimate - friend, ‘ome Blackstone who was shot. The murdered fled to Dover and Otway pursued him. Upon his return he drank more water than he should have done, being violently overheated, and so got a fever which was the/ death of him.” According to the well-known story which first appeared in.the 'Lives of Poets,” assigned to Theophilus Gibber, Otway's end was more sensational. Gib- ber agrees with his predecessors in stat- ing that, th avold the importunity of cre itors, Otway had retired in his last days to 4 public house, on Tower Hill. But, he adds, “it is reported that “after suffering the torments of starvation, the dramatist begged a shilling of a gentleman in a neighboring coffee house -on April 14, 1685, The gentleman gave him a guinea whereupon Otway bought a roll and was choked by the first mouthful” The authenticity of these detalls may well be questioned they rest on no con- temporary testimony, and did not find admission in Otway's biography until six- ty-eight years after his death. Wood and Langbaine both state that he was writing verse up to the time of his death. Charles W. Collins in a recently pub- lighed book, “Great Love Stories of the Theater,” thus comments on the last years of his life: “Three years of squalor followed "Venics Preserved’ for him, and then he dled. He hid himselt away in the slums of London to escape his cred- ftors, borrowing enough money from his one time friends to keep himself in a state of alcoholic _ forgetfulness. He wrote .one more play, and brought out 2 poem of royal flattery after the death of Charles II, but these efforts did not his plight. e ordld Inn, cajled the ‘Sign of the That Kentucky man who has fasted|Bull’, Was his place of refuge; from which 64 days and is growing weaker may be reducing the cost of liviag but He is al- 8o fast reducing the prospect of living.

T am Otway, the Poet.’ he whined. “The man, an admirer of his works, was horror-stricken at his appearance and gave him a guinea for his immediate relief, promising more whenever he needed it. Otway rushed to the nearest bakeshop for bread and set his teeth into the loaf, | ravening like a wolf. But he had been without food too long.
