Daily by The Star Publi ex « change connecting all departments Volume 20 We Can Have Cheaper Coal Let’s have cheaper coal. | All the congregation votes yea, But the thoughtful brother in the last seat r “How are we going to cheapen coal unless down the miner’s wages and reduce the railroad man’s pay | and the teamster’s pay and the dealer's margin of profits, for all these things go to make up the price of coal? “And if we start reducing wages, won't we start an avalanche of falling prices, labor market demoralization and disturbances and so bring about a period when, having less | money in our pockets, we shall be no better off under re- duced coal prices than under the present sky-high figures?” | Still thinking in pre-war grooves, isn’t he? Ignoring | lessons learned in wartime, too. Coal experts tell us valuable clays and bituminous shales from which rich oils might be extracted are left in most} coal mines, not utilized in any way. There are other coal, by-products to which little attention was paid before the war which if efficiently collected would yield’ millions of dollars annually. More machinery could be utilized by) most mines. Thus fuel could be cheapened, without cutting wages, | by more scientific production methods. | Of course, the cheapening process outlined would take time in development. But it needn't take.an age. Let’s all join voices: “Give us cheaper coal!” What all the people want, that thing they can get by going after and asking for it. | Keep On Buying W. S. S. | In the midst of the general optimism following the sur-| render of autocracy, we must not lose sight of the duties that still face the American people. One of the important propositions still confronting the} people of this nation is that having to do with the buying of War Savings Stamps. It must not be thought that the thrift stamp selling) campaign has come to an end, or that it is being permitted | to simmer down. | On the contrary, it must be considered of as much con-| Sequence as ever and those who have the war stamp selling activities in charge should be given every energetic support. It is true that many persons have acquired the thrift stamp buying habit and are as deeply interested as ever in| adding to their war stamp collections. They have acquired the thrift habit, or encouraged it by reason of their buying | such stamps, and the habit is a mighty good one. In the aggregate, a considerable sum is raised each) month by Uncle Sam from the sale of such stamps. As an) investment they are unequaled in safety and earning power. Their use as Christmas gifts is commendable in the in- dividual and still helpful to the government. As to Feeding Our Foes President Wilson has answered Chancellor Ebert’s ap- peal, promising to send food supplies to the people of Ger- many but requiring assurance that public order will be maintained in Germany, so that an equitable distribution of food can be made. The president has a reputation for doing the right thing, when he discovers it and sees the proper time for doing it. Investigation will, very likely, show him that} there is considerable American sentiment opposed to doing much feeding of our foes before our friends in Europe are supplied. Certain it is that there's still great question as to what the government of Germany will be. Some millions of soldiers and war followers are yet to return to Germany and they'll be almighty hungry when they reach home. } s to ask: | we cut) Experience proves that, in revolutions, the parties hav- ing the arms and ammunition have a dominant influence in forming the style of government, for a time, at least. | Our president is wise in not being hasty. | The Day of Romance Are we ready for the epidemic of matrimony? } First symptoms are appearing as soldiers are mustered | out in American camps } It will increase as shiploads of American veterans land on home shores. @Thousands of American maids are waiting for the lads who marched away. Thousands more are dreaming of the hero-husband, not yet seen but soon to come marching in| with the dawn. i Matrimony means homemaking, nation and_ society building. We're all agreed that it is to be encouraged. That an epidemic of romance and weddings is just} ahead nobody doubts. Nobody thinks of trying to prevent it. As well try to sweep back the tide with a feather) duster. | But for all that a word or two of caution may appro-| priately be spoken today. frees | Many a soldier boy has had his romance with camp and | hospital nurse and visitor. These romances developed quickly in the electric atmosphere of war. Now that peace | has come, many of them will wither before the practical | airs of common life. The maid who a few weeks ago saw| only a hero in uniform will now begin to see a breadwinner | in civilian clothing—and if she is short-sighted her mother | and father may supply spectacles for her. | Many a man who in the excitement of war time thought | only of life as a momentary thing, will now begin to visual-| ize it as a thing of years and struggles and to think of his! maid of romance as helper in the contests ahead rather | than as the girl to clasp for a moment and then to bid fare-| well perhaps for an eternity. This is the Afterwards Era. Of course, many lasting, life-long and beautiful ro-| mances have been born in and of the war time. Men and| women have married without thought of the practical side. | They have thought only in spiritual terms. More will do the same. And many of them, living in the world of their! own ideals, will know only happiness. But for others, such steps spell sorrow and trouble. | So much depends on the degree of spiritual develop- | ment of individuals. One woman may marry an all but! helpless cripple and be happy ever after, even tho she must be the chief breadwin But it may not be so with a sister, whose mind is turned to practical, common things. : After all, it’s a matter for individual suffrage, this of | being spiritual and romantic or of missing some of the exal-| tations of the sacrificial life for the plain placidities of the| practical path. American business men, declares one of them, feel that now the world has got peace it doesn’t know ‘what to do with it. Germany is the only nation where officers who made a name for themselves in the war aren't likely to be successful candidates at the nezt elections.
