CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING AUG. 12th, 1922 11,660 TOO MUCH COAL. ™n an address to the Federated Amer lcan Engineering Societies, one of th large coal producers of the Unitec States, Francls S. Peabody of Chicago has been telling what, in his judgment. is the matter with the coal mining din dustry in .this ocountry “Too muck coal,” says Mr. Peabody, ‘has become & national menace to the industry and to the pocketbooks of the consuming public and s costing Americans 8( cents for every ton dropped into their bins" This paradox has come about through the increase in the number of American producing mines from 8,000 previous tc the war to 10,000 at the close of the war, These mines, if operated continuously would provide twice as mueh coal as is required for the uses of the people of the Urited States. Of the 700,000 min- ers employed In the bituminous coa: Jelds the services of at least 200,000 arc %ot needed to meet the requirements o :oal production. The matural result o this superabundance of mines and min ers is much unemployment. Each of the 10,000 mines average 100 ddle work- Ing days in every year. The waste through overdevelopment from which the people of the nation suffer because [t makes their coal expemsive Mr. Pea- body places at $400,000,000 annually— $40.000,000 paid as return on an invest- ment of $650,000,000 in needless mines $300.000,000 In wagas of unmecessary miners and $50,000,000 or mare as the manual ocost of upkeep of mines during periods of idleness. The coal strike arose out of the diffi- culty that attends not alome the pay- ment of living wages to miners whc have only part-time work, but also the profitable operation of mines in whict the production of coal is unduly expen- xive Mr. Peabody says that the remedy for the il state of things is free competitior mmong ooal producers. This is the one natural remedy. The mines that can produce and market coal at the cheap- est rate are the mines that under com- petitive conditions could give steady em- ployment to thelr working forces. Thc mines that canmot compete under fai terms would have to shut down. Cetrainly the consumers should not have to go on paying profits to super- fuous mines and wages to superfluous miners who ocould be profitaly employed the year around in other industries Thers !s no good reason why abnormal conditions in ocoal production should be fostered indefinitely to the great los and bardship of the American public. CONFLICTING FORCES IN EUROPE Europeam statesmen, we are assurer in spite of the aggwessive policies anc dublous methods of some, are coming tc their senses, facing realities at last anc getting ready to adopt plans of self-help wnd wise co-operation. The illusion that the United States would relieve them of all thelr difficulties and solve, by some magical stroke, all their prob lems, is being renounced. American co operation is still hoped for and desired but a practical view of the limits and conditions of such co-operation is emerg ing. However, #f statesmen are abandon Ing insincere politics tor rational coumse: of action centain seotions of the Euro pean press and of the public are as ve unprepared to lend proper support tc these wholesome efforts. The propagan da of mamrow natiomalism, of hatred, oi sconomie isolation continues to be ac tively preached. Anatole France, the French autho and humanitarian, has just made an other plea on behalf of nelghborlimes: wd good will in Burope. He reminds his own countrymen, as well as Ger mans, Itallans and others, that Europ. s, after all, a umit, and that they mus. ®ll be “good FEuropeans” rather tha: superheated chauvinistic nationalists, M. France, like H. G. Wells, looks for- ward to a federated Europe, without so many barrers to trade and communica- tion, and without @0 much diplomatic Intrigue and so mamy secret attempts to sbtam special privileges or one-sded tommerelal bargains. That goal is dis- tant, hoever, and meanwhile the duty of every thoughtful European is to com- bat selfish diplomacy and work for equal spportunities and freer imternational in- lercourse. Public opinlon is more effec- ually educated by sound, emlightened treatment of concrete issues tham by vague generalfties unacconyzanied and anenforced by specific instances of just wmd wise international dealing. M. Franoe charges certain BEuropean industrialists with deliberately sowing the seeds of distrust, hate and jealousy through the press contrelled by them. He has in mind French newspapers, as well as German and other foreign or- tans. Europe's public opinian, accord- kg to M. France, is belng distorted and polsoned by newdqpapers which really represent momopolies and groups of spe- tlal Interests. And assuredly an inde- pendent, a liberal, an honest prews, is one of the essentlal factors in rebuilding wnd uniting Europe, JOHN GRANVILLE WOOLEY. John Granville Woolley, who died Sunday at Geanada. Spain, was ome of the men who worked for mational prohi- ition when the country paid litide at- tention to such efforts. He was born ‘n Collinsville, O., Pelruary 15, 1850, and was educated at Ohio Wesleyan and the University of Michigan. He was prose. Wfin’ attorney at Minneapolls in 1881, to New York where he prac- M He entersd the lecture field in 1888 and during the following years he spoke in the prineipal English speak- ing cities of the world. He was a Phi Beta Kappa and a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. He wrote sev- eral books, most of them dealing with Dmhibtuom His home was at Madwon, lt is related that although Woolley was a brilliant erator and able lawyer in his youth, he was then addicted to drink and through the wse of intoxicants lost his practice. At various times he tried to break the habit but would fail and go back to drinking. In New York, where he had heen reduced to little better than a vagabend, he began at- tending temperance lectiges. He re- alized frem his ewn experienc what drink could do to uyndermine a man's business and happiness. In his sober moments he lent his oratorical powers to the cause. Eventually he won the fight with his ewn appetite and from then on he was one of the most promiment fig- ures in the prohibition crusade. In 1900, Woolley was the prohibition party's nominee for the presidemcy. Al- though he toured the country and made an eloquent appeal for votes he received only 208,914 as compared with 6,358,133 for Bryan and 7,207,923 for McKinley. This illustrates how little thought was given to prohibition as a national issue less than a quanter of & cemtury ago. However, Woolley lved to see his doc- trine adapted as a part of the federal constitutéon and to see Bryan, one of the men who had opposed him for president, spending most of hs time speaking ‘n behalf of the cause Woolley had es- poused. ————— ILLINOIS WAKING UP, The disgrace that has attached to Il- linois, first, because of the wholesale murders at Hernrin in the coal strike, and second, because of the Indifferent attitude of the state authorities towards efforts to trace out and apprehend the perpetrators of the outrage, is at last arousing some of the people’ of the state. It is belated aetlon, coming, as it does, some two menths after the crime, but it is a hopeful indication that the fair name of Illinois will be purged of the stain upon dt. Attorney General Brundage has been investigating the erime but has been able to do little because of lack of funds since Governor Small vetoed the greater part of the appropmiation for his office, leaving him only memey enough to carry on the ordinary routine work. To meet this emergency the state cham- ber of commeree has dssued an appeal to raise $25,000 for the purpose of bringing the murderers at Hemrin to justice. The bodies affiliated with the chamber have been which they will be expected to contri- bute and there is little doubt that'the money will be raised. The appeal re- cites the crime in outlne and adds: “The state of Iliinols is on tial. Our citizens visiting elsewhere have been compelled to hang their heads in shame. The world is asking us ‘What are you going to do about it?” That is all true epough. The perpe- trators and defenders of the arime have relied upon the hope that “the thing would blow over,” as so-many outrages and crimes have blown over in the rapid succession of hig issues in this countr: That hope has s~emed well founded un- til now. This organized effort of the representative commercial body of the state to see that the good name of Tili- nois is proteeted and that the men who have defied her laws and her standard of civilization are brought to justice, may succeed in showing that meb law is not to be tolerated. For the good name of Tllinois and of the counmtry it is to be hoped that the investigation of the Her- rin slaughter may succeed in punishing the men guilty of . assigned the sums EDITORIAL NOTES.

Famous Literary Mysteries WHERE DID LAWSON GET HIS ‘ FACTS ? In 1875 Capt. J. A. Lawson startled! Europe by his publication of a bom\{ entitled “Wanderings in New Guinea.” It ereated a great sensation as giv- ing a graphic account of a county! with which Europeans were unfamil- iar, and in which they were deeply interested. It was so striking in its deseriptions and so interesting in its details that it was accepted as a clas- sic of its character, and for a time| Capt. Lawson was very much in the pubic mind. But “Fawson's suecess was to be short-lived, for it was finally discov- ered that he was a fakir and he was| dealt with accordingly. His method of lying showed some of the influ- ences of Sir John Mandeville, prob- ably the greatest of all artists in this line. Lawson's book was based on the same straightforward narrative of supposed events put down, as in a traveler's journal, just as they are supposed to have occurred. The taste of the author’s accurate and learned times obliged him to restrict himself to marvels of an approved scientific | nature, such as fairly high mountains | and fairly large beasts, and to eschew | such things as magic and monsters, indeference to the advance stage of intelligence. The book was 'published in 1875. Unfortunately for lovers of this sort of thing the book had a very short run, and his publishers called in and destroyed most of the edition, so that the volume is rather a rarity in our day. In his description of an ascent of the gigantic imaginary Mount Her- cules. Lawson produced passages of his entertaining work, interesting to note, which read strangely like pages from a modern Arctic explorer's re- port. Capt. Lawson’'s Munchausiad, to call’ it by its literary name, is a smooth- ly written, circumstantial day-by-day narative of 283 pages. It is perfection in most points of the technique of popular scientific deception. It is wonderful enough to cause the public to gape, yet not too fantastic. It ex- cels at the same time by circumstan- tial detail the backbone of good ly- ing, just as of good fiction and good truth telling, for that matter, too. It is always entertaining, often heroic. The writer tells in a bright, beliey- able way of the greatest variety of things. He sees some volcanoes at night. He notes some peculiar moss. He shoots two man-like apes. He be- holds a “magnificent” snake of great dimensions. He passes a miserable night in a tempest. He describes shoot- ing a New Guinea tiger larger than the Bengal tiger. His {faithful servant Toolo is smitten by sunstroke and shoots him- self in a fit of madness with Law- son’s rifle, putting the barrel in his mouth and pressing the trigger with his toe. So it goes all through the book. Lawson's trump cards are the discovery of an imaginary Lake Al- exandrina, 80x30 miles in dimensions; of a Mount Hercules some 8,000 feer higher than Everest and several species of gigantic animals, much larger than their next of kin in other lands. Capt. Lawson, like others of .his cult—notably De Rougemount, Psal- manazar, Hans Egede and more re- cently Dr. Cook, must either have had a most vivid imagination and some means of securing information of which we have never been made aware or he was blessed with an unusually fertile imagination.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE The young Duke of Leinster, who has wagered that he will sail single-handed across the Atlanptic, is the premier duke and marquis and earl in the peerage of Ireland. He succeeded to the title only last February upon the death of an elder brother. He was born in 1892 and at the age of twenty-one was married to Miss May Etheridge, a2 musical comedy actress. The couple spent their honeymoon in Canada, living in a2 woodman’'s hut on a lake in Quebec. The duke took part in the World war and was seriously wound- ed while serving as lieutenant in the West Rider regiment. The Leinster fam- ily is descended froem the illustrious family of Fitzgerald, itself descended from Dominus Atho, who came to Eng- land in 1057 and obtained the favor of Edward the Confessor. His Grace is the seventh Duke of Leinster, which title dates from 1761, and was bestowed by Queen Anne. He is the twenty-sixth Earl of Kildare, which title dates from 1316, and the thirty-second Baron of Offaly, a title that has been in the fam- fly since 1168.

What I am to tell here, will be $ny own experience in a residence of over thirty Years in the middle west. Over 20 years in one of the largest cities in these | United States. In this city we used over ten years soft or bituminous coal for cooking. Why? Because it is the cleanest and best fuel for that purpose. It lights easily, makes a hot fire, and you can let it go out and make up a new fire and have it going in & few minutes—go quick that you get things nearly ready to cook—i. e. stew, boil. or bake, before making your firs. That is the reason hotel ranges—of even seventy to a hundred feet—in their kitch- ens, till they commenced to use gas and electricity in Chicago, and in fact all over that territory, used soft coal. There | was a time when a hotel man could not “keep a cook,” and use anything else. They would walk out if they found when they got to the kitchen any other fuel. Now the dealers here may not have had a demand for that quality or grade of soft coal, that is used for domestic pur- poses, and so may not have had any, but the grade for boilers. But the “soft ceal strike” is over; the hard coal we will not be able to obtain before next spring, even if they commence to mine it in & week or two, so we are going to be obliged to use soft coal. So let us make up our minds to it, and try to get deal- ers to get a kind of it that will be suit- able for the purpose for it is be had, I really ought to step now, but I must add, first 1 did not buy & new stove each spring, and I also burned soft coal in my furnace. I used a furnace made in the east for hard coal. 1 burned for three successive winters the mine-run of “smokeless coal” so-called. That was, a lot of it small as sand, and lumps as big as a bushel basket. It made a cleaning of furnace and pipes—about every month or six weeks, but I saved money and got a hotter fire than I ever had before. A good soft ceal mixed with pea coal makes a good fuel. I have used it, but can we get it? 1 have used wood also as a fuel in a furnace.
