NOW the coal men have something else to blame it on. THOSE WHO were saying the fuel situation could not be worse reckoned without our new coal commission. MAY WE ASK Mr. Adams whether the release of Roy Linkenfelter was also in the “customary” order of business? SOME PEOPLE take stock in straw votes, while others prefer to follow the hunch of the hens whose eggs bear the initials of the next President. WE AGREE with the proponents of Goodrichism that “the public is pleased with coal prices,” but respectfully decline to be happy until we can buy some coal at those prices. I COMMENTING on a world series game, Senator Harding observes: “It is a wonderful thing to pitch one’s way out of a tight hole." An interesting sidelight. THE MICHIGAN ROAD promises to remain blockaded until the election of a Democratic administration puts an end to the quarrel between the “good government’’ administration of the county and the State board of accounts. ' Hoch! the Senator If any reliance can be placed upon the statements of Warren G. Harding after the many attempts he has made to avoid "expressing himself through the use of English, the Republican party this campaign is definitely against the League of Nations. At Des Moines yesterday Mr. Harding said the difference between Governor Cox and him was that Governor Cox favored “going into” the league and he favored “staying out.” Senator Harding went further and declared that our soldiers now' in the army of occupation of Germany “have no business there, and if we make a separate peace, as I advocate, they will be brought back.” At last the perplexities of the 1920 campaign have been cleared away. Mr. Harding has taken his stand and now' we know that a vote for Mr. Harding is a vote for the separate and dishonorable peace described by Senator Lodge. Now we know that Johnson, Borah and Hearst have won their struggle with the Republican nominee and he does not intend to attempt to preserve the peace of the world through the League of Nations. Press dispatches tell us that Harding’s statements were greeted with applause. Doubtless when the news reached Georgg Sylvester Viereck it was received with great satisfaction. And when it reaches Kaiser Wilhelm and Count von Bernstorff it will wring from them tears of joy and satisfaction. From criticism of the League of Nations Mr. Harding moved to declarations that we followed no ideal when we entered the war with Germany. Next he advocated a separate peace with the enemy of ourselves and our allies. Finally he declares that had no business entering Germany to pacify the Hun. Step by step the Republican nominee has progressed to the point where it is apparent his sympathies for “poor, suffering Germany’’ are more pronounced than his love of American honor. There stands today between the United States and national dishonor only the ballots of the men and the women of this nation who recall those immortal lines: . • We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you from falling hands we throw the Torch, S Be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die. We sha* not sleep though poppies grow In Flanders Fields.

Where Is the Coal? The Jim Goodrich coal commission, under the leadership of Jesse Eschbach, has attempted to establish prices which may be charged for coal by producers, wholesalers and retailers In Indiana. Whether these prices fixed by the commission are fair or not is a matter for future determination. As was to be expected, the operators, jobbers and wholesalers all insist that they are too low to permit the marketing of coal. Opposed to this is the assertion three months ago of Governor Goodrich, himself a coal operator, that the cost of placing coil on the ,cars is less by at least a dollar a ton than the price allowed the operators by the Goodrich commission. No doubt the courts will be called on to determine whether or not the margins of profit are reasonable. The seriousness of the coal situation does not lie in the question of the reasonableness of the margin. The important development with we have to contend is illustrated by the fact that not a single coal dealer in Indianapolis offered coal yesterday at the prices fixed by the commission. Goodrich’s commission appears to have fixed a price for coal and at the same time stopped the distribution of coal at the prices fixed. No coal consumer is benefited by an order that fixes a relatively lower price for coal unless coal can be obtained at that price. Yesterday coal could not be obtained at the prices fixed, consequently there was no benefit to the consumer In the price fixing. • We are advised by the coal dealers that it Is their contention that the law fixing the prices of coal does not apply to coal mined under contracts or for interstate commerce. If this contention is correct then the Goodrich commission prices apply only to approximately 5 per cent of the coal mined in Indiana. Prior to Sept. 1 the 1920 output of coal in Indiana was .estimated at 15,908,000. Five per cent, representing the "free coal” that the coal dealers concede is subject to the Goodrich regulations, amounted, to 795,000 tons in nine months. Naturally none of this can be found today. Regulating the price of coal through the State commission has so far been an abject failure. It will continue to be an abject failure unless the State administration can enforce its orders to the letter on a greater per cent of coal than the 6 per cent which the coal men concede is subject to regulation. Coal men generally are sitting tight, waiting for the State administration to attempt to enforce its order. Now it is up to Messrs. Goodrich, Eschbach and Klaus to produce the coal at the prices they have fixed for the consumer to pay. Setting the Example Os course, the foreigners are blamed for most of our troubles, but It is apparent that the responsibility for good Americanism begins at home. These people are leaving countries which for almost six years have been the center of confusion —both material and mental. Perhaps the greatest chaos is mentally, although in some parts of Europe war upset everything, dignity, traditions, home, transportation and food supply. The hatred of war was accepted as gospel. Scenes which are indescribable in horror -were enacted before the eyes of these persons. With all these desperate impressions in their mind, they come to America, hoping to become eventually American citizens. Much of their future depends upon the actions of American citizens with whom they are first thrown in contact. If the strangers meet the bootlegger who thinks himself too shrewd for the government, or if they are thrown with the employer who laughs at law and government regulations and is not prosecuted, the association will make its indelible mark on the mind of the newcomer. Plainly, therefore, it is up to the American to be a good American if he expects the foreigner to be so. Individual or corporate greed and lawlessness will be imitated just as soon as the immigrant gets his bearings and is accustomed to his surroundings. On the other hand. Ije will grow into a good citizen—comes here for that purpose—if he has half a chance. How will we surround ourselves, fay good or by bad? It’s up to us. Now that many are again coming to our shores and that they are the best from war-stricken lands, it behooves all good Americans to pause a minute and'take stock. ' S\ \,

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS 16. The Cleveland-Blaine Race of 1884 By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON'. D. C\—Disgraceful because of the scandal-mongering and mud-slinging, exciting because of the intense partisanship displayed, and because it was so close, the campaign of 1884 stands as. one of the most Interesting of our history. It resulted In the elevation of Grover Cleveland to thp presidential office, the first Democrat to be elected after the, Civil War. whose two terms o’ office were the only interruptions in fifty-two years of Kepublicun ascendancy. Long before the campaign was over it was realized that the candidate who carried New York would be elected. Cleveland carried the State by only 1,14 V plurality over Blaine. A change of 600 voters in New York would haie inane Blaine president. The uarrow margin resulted in ft thousand "ifs” and It D by some of these “tfa” that the campaign will be remembered longest The aggressive action on the ..part of the Democrats began with the election of 1882. Garfield had alienated Conkilng by making Blaine Secretary of State. Then followed the appointment of Robertson to be collector of the port of New York. Conk’.tng was so furious mat he resigned hi* seat tn the Senate, being imitated by Thomas C. I’latt, his Junior colleague, who thereby gained for himself the sobriquet of “Me Too!” Conkliug and I'latt wen* sorely disappointed in that they were not triumphantly re-elected. The ass.ssioatlon of Garfield did not end the factional disputes lit the party. President Arthur was Conkilng'* friend, but he soon broke with the Imperious New Yorker. Blaine was the popular leader and the idol of the masses of the Republican voters. Yet fils enemies were na-ny and powerful, both within anil without the party.. Democrats looked upon him as the next nominee for President and trimmed tbelr satis accordingly. In 1882 the Democrats swept the country and elected a majority of the House of Representative*. JAMES G. BLAINE NOMINATED FOB BL.UGHTEK. More than that, they carried the pivotal State of New- York by a majority of aiumat 200,000, with Grover Cleveland as the nominee for (horn*. Cleveland's career as mayor of Buffalo anil his veto of extravagant appropriations hul brought him into notice la New York. His great vtctr y. contributed to by Republican faetionlsm. caused the whole country to look to him. When the Item oeratlc national convention met in 1884 he wJs easily nominated on the second ballot, receiving the neeesa-iry twothirds vote, despite the violent and even disorderly protests of Tammany Hail, then led by John Kelly. The administration opposed Blaine with ail its force, and attempted to win the nomination for President Arthur. But Blaine was tho leader from the begin ning and received the nomination on the fourth ballot. The powerful Influences which had defeated him In the conventions of 1876 and 1880 were still at work, but their force was expended and Blaine was nominated-—for slaughter. Again there was a third party factor in the problem. The Greenbaekers re appeared as the anti-Monopoly party and nominated for President no less a personage than Gen. Benjamin F. Butler of Massachusetts, the premier acrobatic clown of the political circus. Six weeks rftef taking the anti Monopoly nomluatioxi Butler appeared as a delegate in the Democratic convention actually trying to get the Democratic nomination and bidding for Southern support by offering a plank favoring Federal pensions for Confederate soldiers. Scandals affecting Blaines Integrity had been afloat for years, and had been used against him In two national conventions. The Democratic press hailed his nomination with the Credit Moblller scandal and the Mulligan letters. The charge was reiterated that Blaine, as speaker of the House of Representative*, had been lnflnenced in his rulings by financial considerations. FATAL MISTAKE OF THE BLAINE TOBCEH When tho campaign was fairly started, a scandal about Mr. Cleveland’s earlier life was unearthed—the Haipln affair. The Blaino forces made n fatal mistake in lending official countenance to the spread of the scandal. When the Democratic committee considered publishing the Blaine scandal broadcast, Mr. Cleveland vetoed tho proposition. That did not prevent, of coyrse, the individual Democrats from taking up and repeating the old charges ngainst Blaine which hnd been current for eight years. The result was a bitter, nasty, mud-allr,gtng campaign. Everybody looked upon New York ns the pivotal State. There Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Blaine both labored under great

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS ■ ... *# AN INTERPRET AT lON

XVII. Suppose a member of the league, adjudged iu error by the council ot the court of arbitration, decided to go to war with another nation, regardless Here enters article 16 of the covenant, which provides for the economic boycott, tho most effective method ever (levied to bring an outlaw nation to terms.
