COAL FACT8.

Terre Haute has shared In a large degree In the prosperity of the coal lndustry. A general notion of the prosperity that has prevailed and is still prevailing in the working- of this natural resource is 'furnished by that Infalible investigator, Uncle Sam. I'. The nation's, output of mineral products of various kinds is a fair measure of ..industrial activity. For several months hqw

the department of the in

terior, through the geological survey, has been issuing its final statistics of the 1918 mineral production which confirms in detail the preliminary estimates Issued, early in January'for the principal minerals. In the large majority of cases these authoritative figures. tell-in one way. or another the. same story of industrial prosperity. In coal productio'n the increase has been general, and it is this very fact that serves as an uhmistakaible Index of general health in the industrial, world. But as state after state is shown to have had its banner coal year—"West Virginia, Illinois. Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Virginia,. Oklahoma, New Mexloo, Montana, Texas, Utah, and Pennsylvanla in both bituminous and anth- •. racite, the record becomes spectacular. dhio, for instance, had its floods, yet there was a substantial 6 per cent increase In coal output, and the miners $ averaged more working days in 1913 than In" 1912. Twelve other states showed increases varying from 3 per cent-in Iowa to 12 per cent In Indiana and over 15 per cent in Washington, an4 only Colorado, Maryland, North

Dakota, Nevada, Iddho and Missouri show decreased output, the Colorado labor troubles explaining the only significant decrease. }. "THE SUPERLATIVE^ IN MILK.

Here is another example of efficiency and devotion. May Rilma, an Ameri-can-bred Guernsey belonging to Major Edward B. Cassatt, of Berwyn, Pa., has completed a year's test in which she has established a record for the production' of-'butter fat—1,059.59 pounds, equivalent to 1,236.18 pounds of butter. The ex-champions are Holsteins —Colantha IVs Johanna, the property of W. J. Gilette, of Rosendale, Wis., and a GcftV owned by F. F. Field, of Brockton,. Mass. Owners' names are worth repeating, too, for the human factor "Counts even in cow championships. Nothing that experience or

#0$

science can offer was neglected by the Pennsylvania cow's ambitious master, according to a writer in Collier's. May Rllma.has'enjoyed absolute comfort: a roomy box stall kept clean wide windows screened with muslin to prevent direct draft a carefully groomed coat that any race horse might envy an even temperature, as near 60 degrees as possible (no wasted effort in resisting cold or heat) a scientifically balanced ration of grain, vegetables, ensilage, and alfalfa—the last two always before her, but removed from the racks at-the end of the day and replaced by fresh. Nothing has broken in upon her perfect peace. She has the absolute devotion of one attendant, who sleeps in an adjoining box stall fitted up as a cell-like room. Here stands the stove that regulates the evenness of the winter temperature. No cow likes to change milkers. This one is milked (always by the same man) at eight-hour intervals: 4 a. m., 12 m., 8 p. m. And over and above earning for herself this luxurious living and paying for a quarter of one man's wage, she nets her owner $716 annual profit. After all, though it wasn't only Major Cassatt and Queen May Rllma who won out. Much credit belongs to Albert Van Tuinen, first gentleman in waiting, who did the milking.

THE STATE OF MIND.

Henry Ford, of Detroit, has not been generally considered a practitioner of "mushy amiability." He would not be likely to mistake a real condition for one merely "psychological." And this is what Mr. Ford says of business conditions: "I do not see any depression that is marked. Such as there is seems inspired, and I do not think it amounts to more than 3 per cent of the total volume of business in this country."

And this is what the Iron Age says of the situation in its field, which is considered a kind of barometer of conditions in a large field of industrial activities: "Indications of improvement in the steel trade are notably increasing. The corner seems to have been turned at last and manufacturers are now confident that the remainder of the year will show a much larger volume of business than the first half."

According to news received in this city a couple of days a&o and printed in the Tribune, the Pennsylvania railrbad has ordered back to work thousands of shop men laid off a few months ago. This report from Philadelphia is believed fairly to reflect upward tending conditions among all the more important lines.

As Mr. Ford said to the correspondents at Washington, "Cheer up."

PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.

The old adage about there being two sides to every question is often demonstrated these days. While the mails are cluttered with publications showing the dire results of municipal ownership, seemingly sane and progressive communities go right along willing to assume new experiments in the theory. This week the city of Cleveland opens Its new $2,000,000 electric light plant.

Bonds for building this light and power plant were authorized at the election in 1911, which sent Mr. Baker to the mayor's chair.» The issue was one of the dominating ones in that contest, and the erection of the plant was one of the pledges Mr. Baker, as candidate, made the voters.

Every such project is an experiment in public ownership. If this plant is operated successfully it will be an inspiration to advocates of that kind .of

undertaking the country over it will be pointed to as an example of what a progressive people can do in the ownership and management of big utilities. On the other hand, failure would figure as conspicuously on the opposing side of the argument.

As befits the case, those entrusted with the conduct of this big plant are firm believers in the wisdom of such undertakings the success of it is in friendly hands. There will be plenty of hostile critics, but they can prevail only if those managing the project furnish them the proof of their contentions.

The new plant starts with 6,500 consumers on Its books, and many more in immediate prospect. It will not be a small experiment The result will indicate a big city's capacity for conducting a sizable utility. In a sense, it is the community on business trial.

ELIMINATION.

Addressing a meeting of alienists in Chicago yesterday, one of the speakers while on the topic of mental deficiency and crime, discussed the segregation and sterilization of the unfit, and recommended the practice to a degree seldom contemplated.

There have been several attempts to legalize sterilization in such cases. The Iowa law of this nature was last month declared unconstitutional by a federal court. This act authorized the operation on "idiots, feeble-minded, drunkards, drug-fiends, epileptics, syphilltics and moral or sexual perverts" and made It mandatory upon criminals twice convicted of a felony. Felonies In Iowa includes a number of offenses not known as such at common law and, apparently, the court's objection to this law was its consequent severity. The decision will not be accepted as a bar to segregation legislation in gen,eral. "We want a law," the same speaker continued, "to give us the right to sterilize all such, or to segregate them until old age." The difficulties In the way of enforcing equitably a sterilization law are, of course, admitted.

Higher standards of civilization lead to a conservation of the defective classes. One need not rail at civilization while admitting the fact.| What Is needed is some adequate means of social self-defenss. Having preseiVed the unfit from the fate which Is less kindly age would have meted out to them, society is in no way bound to tolerate Its own slow destruction through the agency of those It befriends. 1

It is a subject worth thinking about full of difficulties and of possibilities of injustice, yet fraught with great potentiality for good, if sagaciously handled.

TOM O'CONNELL (South Fourth street Buffet)—Everything is good for some purpose.
