Proverbs 3:33. “Quite So’” THE Government tells us that the supply of coal will be “rationed” so everybody will get his share. It is proper for ns to inqnire: By whom will it be rationed? By virtue of what authority! Under exactly what law! * The Government tells us that “if undue prices are charged action will be taken.” It is proper for us to inquire: \By whom will the action be taken! By virtue of what authority! Under exactly what law! If, as to price, it is answered that the “agreement with the operators” is intended to be used it is proper for us to remark that Mr. Hoover’s last agreement was for $3.50 per ton. (Which was a dollar above the then market). And the average price is now $3.89. The $3.89 price is given by The Coal Age, issue of July 20, and the paper says: “Mr. Hoover’s price list has been definitely out-distanced.” ’ The Coal Age, in the same issue, says “coal prices are going to stay in the clouds.” Quite so. Good Business •£T would like to say to the Senator that substantially every X dollar of the profits (by the Amoskeag Textile Mills of Manchester, N. H.,) made in the year of excessive profits which the Senator has quoted, is invested in Liberty Bonds.” Thus Senator Moses of New Hampshire, in defense of the hundred per cent, profits reported by the mills of his city. Os course the Amoskeag corporation was highly patriotic in investing as it did. It also had an eye to business. Corporations pay no tax on Liberty Bonds. The excess profits tax was repealed by the act of 19° 1. Liberty Bonds are worth more today than ever before. As well Senaror Moses might have said: “Every dollar of the excessive profits made in these mills has been invested in the safest, most profitable, untaxable, triple-gilt-edged bonds in the world.” The Senator was defending his client’s business reputation, not its moral righteousness. - * Paradise VT ATUBE is lavish to the natives of Orinoco River Valley,” ! i. l says a Department of Commerce bulletin, “and,” it adds editorially, “as is usually the case when things come easily, they are not fully appreciated. “The forests contain wild honey in abundance, as well as many excellent fruits and nuts; the rivers and lagoons teem with fish, which support the vast bird life of the country, as well as supply an excellent food for the natives. “Turtles and alligators are both prolific, the former especially valuable for food, and for fats, which are used both for cooking and illuminating. Game of all kinds abound. Cotton grows wild. Avery excellent tobacco is produced. Small pigs are at large wild.” Unfortunately, Orinoco is in South America. The Cause of the Trouble PRESIDENT Harding guarantees “protection” to operators in any effort to produce coal with non-union miners. He urges Governors of States to do their best along “protection” lines. If mobilization and parade of State troops throughout the mine fields of the country is not sufficiently impressive, then there will be added to them Federal troops. All this military display will gratify some of the employers, but what has it. to do with the production of oal! The chief factor in non-production of coal to date has not been lack of protection for the operators and their properties, but lack of competent coal diggers. t In this strike there has been some violence—but very little, Considering the extent of the strike. It is silly to say that violence has cut any real figure in blocking coal production. The President’s latest gesture is fine and large and free—but it should not distract attention from the prime fact The fundamental issue of this strike and the first cause of all the trouble is that the operators made an agreement to meet miners’ representatives this spring and negotiate anew wage scale—and then broke their agreement They still refuse to make good on their broken contract
THE REFEREE By ALBERT APPLE JULES The first man killed in the World War was Corporal Jules Peugot, a * * " Frenchman. A menument to him is unveiled j|pj with elaborate cere}ljr9?| monies. \ _ r Mr Jules -was 21 years \ Cay old. in the flower of his Tgxlj. manhood, when a GerL I man bullet carried him APPLE into eternity. He was typical of the toil of war—young, promising, ambitious, “the best of the lot.” That is the kind of meal the war god loves. Biologists tell you that war makes a nation stronger in the long run. False! War always takes the best. DOOMED For years we have all been moaning about “the old oaken bucket that hung in the well.” Quartettes have j advertised the famous old bucket un- ' til most of us have it indelibly jn our brains as a symbol for pure, refreshing drinking water. Now comes the Connecticut State board of health and warns that most wells with an old oaken bucket are germ-polluted, and about as fit to drink from as a swamp. of our sentimental ideals would be unmasked the same way if we gave them sound analytical thought.

To the Editor of The Timet It would seem that the strike situation has resolved itself into this, which is the stronger, the unions or the Gov- ! ernment? 1 There Ms no question that the ooal | operators and railroad corporations | and strikers should make such concessions that the wheels of Industry may not stop. Suppose that neither side of the controversary should yield and as a consequence the mines and railroads be tied up indefinitely, does it not follow that the million strikers will suffer along with the rest of us? Are they willing to suffer the pangs of want, perchanoe misery and death, for | the cause of unionism? ‘ Can the mine ; owners and railroad corporations afI ford to bring upon the American people so appalling a situation in order that unionism be avenged? It is a serious situation with which we are confronted and the longer It continues the more alarming it be- ! comes. Why must the American people suffer because the railroads, mine owners and their employes cannot arbitrate? Millions of our noble men fought, so that we might enjoy peace happiness and liberty in a lard of plenty. In the World War. Regardless of whether tbe unions are right or wrong in their demand, regardless of whether railroad corporations and mine owners are justified in the attitude they assume; be it right or wrong, this Government should not let the American people suffer because of their quarrel and we do not believe it will.

EDWARDS FLAYS MAD UN IN SENATE DACE New Jersey Governor Favors ‘Light Wines and Beers,’ He Asserts. DESIRES ACT AMENDED Promises to Offer Bill Aimed at Anti-Saloon League and Dry Forces. By E. M. THIERRY. By REA Service TRENTON, N. J., July 22.—Any one who thinks proohiblltlon Is dead as a political issue would be disillusioned by a talk with Edward I. Edwards, Governor of New Jersey. Everybody knows Edwards is wet politically. He was elected Governor on a wet platform, and he's just as wet as ever in his present fight to go to the United States Senate to succeed Senator Frelinghuysen. And, if he gets to the Senate, he promises ‘to start something. Two things, in fact: 1. Legislation legalizing beer and light wine. 2. War on the Anti-Saloon League and kindred organizations. “The saloon has passed forever from America,” he says, "and I am opposed to its return. But I am in favor of modification of the Volstead act to permit manufacture and sale of ' fclSfr t * W ,: T if EDWARD I. EDWARDS oeer and light wines under Federal supervision, all manufacturing to be done under a purse food act. “If that cannot be done legally, I am in favor of modification of the eighteenth amendment so that it can be done.” Believes Change in Dry Law Ts Inevitable Governor Edwards says he believes prohibition modification is inevitable. Explaining his war on what he calls professional reformer*, he says: "Political lobbies and propaganda should be strictly regulated. I introduced such a bill into the New Jersey Legislature and it was promptly squelched. I’m going to do it again—aimed at the Anti-Saloon League—if I get tc the United States Senate.” I .ays Unrest at Door of Booze Ban “I’m against the hypocritical situation that has been created,” he says, “it's a deceit. Basically, the unrest in this country is due to prohibition. It has not reduced crime—but has Increased It. "Os course, I want it understood that I yield to no one in respect for law and its enforcement. It la because I am convinced that public opinion makes it impossible to enforce many existing laws that I am determined to have them changed so as to make them possible of enforcement." Governor Edwards’ friends are making considerable political capital out of that fact that he is politically wet and personally dry, while they charge that Senator Frelinghuysen Is personally wet although he voted dry. "New Jersey,” says Edwards, “is no wetter than other States. We’re frank about it, though, and the others are afraid to be.” unusuaTfolk By NEA Service VANCOUVER, B.

“Christ" of Oberammergau Voices Spirit of Passion Play
By BURTON KNIHELY | OBEHAM.MERGAU, Bavaria, July | 22.—1s the call of Christ to peace still ] heard In the world—Bt.Ul potent where | war's trenches have scarred deepest | the face and feelings of mankind? I asked this of Anton Lang, playing this year again for the third time, as In 1900 and 1910, the part of Christus In the world-known Passion l’lay at Oberammergau. As I watched the face which for kindliness and spirituality might have been the very face of the Savior himself as one pictures It, and listened to the modest, soft speech, I felt a | new conviction—a mental discovery In the war-torn old world in which the churches of America will bo Interested. During the war and after It world scholars have debated over whether the power of the church grows or wanes, and have held open forum on the necessity of a religious revival—a subject perhaps less exciting than the latest murder, but not less Important or truly Interesting. To one witnessing the Passion Play and talking to its chief figures this Question la no longer a question. The experience begets the convlotlon that beside the endless validity of the religion of Christ and its place in men's hearts the World War was but an incident —a more trivia) thing than it seems by any other comparison. The beautiful valley of the Am - mer, at the foot of whose encircling hills this famous village nestles, felt the war. The regular decennial performance of the Passion Play in 1920 was impossible. More than sixty sons of the little town had fallen In battle, among them some of the chief PYHORRHEA By DR. R. H. BISHOP.

In the future. as in the past, wars may come and wars may go—but the Oberammergau performance, with three centuries of tradition behind it, will go on forever. It sends to the world the message that the religion of Christ needs no - revival to be alive, the greatest sln- | gle fofee in white civilization. "The world had me shot In war.” i said Anton Lang, who has been “cru- ! clfted" more times than any other Itvi Ing man. “I never had a gun in my hands. I was in barracks tw’o months, that’s all.” The simple wood carver whose portrayal of Christ is moving hundreds, of thousands this summer, speaks a pleasant English. So it was in their i own tongue that he consented to; write for Americans a meesake from ; the heart of one who is trying to enter into the heart of the Prince of Peace.

(Continued From Our Last Issue.) M. de La Tour d’Azyr stood there by the table very erect and dignified, ready to perish as he lived —without fear and without deception. Andre-Louis came slowly forward until he reached the table on the other side and then at last the muscles of his set face, relaxed, and he laughed. “You laugh?” said M. de La Tour d’Azyr, frowning, offended. “You have surprised me into it. I give you three minutes, monsieur, in which to leave this house, and to take your own measures for your safety.” "Wait! Listen!” Madame was pant- 1 ing. She flung away from Andre- j Louis, as if moved by some premonl- j tion of what was coming. “Gervais! j This is horrible!” “Horrible, perhaps, but inevitable. \ I am a man in despair, the fugitive j of a lost cause. That man holds thej keys of escape. Besides, between him and me there is a reckoning to be paid.” His hand came from beneath his coat, and it came armed with a pistol. Mme. de Plougastel screamed, and flung herself upon him. On her knees now, she clung to his arm with all her strength and might. Vainly he sought to shake himself free of that desperate clutch. But Andro-Louis bad taken advantage of that moment of M. de La Tour d’Azyr’s impotence to draw a pistol in his turn. ‘ Stand away, madame.” Far from obeying that imperious!

But she still clung to his arm, clung to it with unsuspected strength that continued to prevent him from attempting to use the pistol. “He is your father. Andre! Gervais, he is your son—our son! The letter there—on the table —O my God!” And she slipped nervously to the ground and crouched there sobbing at the stet of M. de La Tour d’Azyr. CHAPTER XIII Across the body of that convulsively sobbing woman, the mother of one and the mistress of the other, the eyes j of those mortal enemies met, invested with a startled, appalled interest that I admitted of no words. M. de La Tour d'Azyr was the first |to stir. Into his bewildered mind came the memory of something that I Mme. de Plougastel had 6aid of a iet | ter that was on the table. He came forward, unhindered. He walked un- | steadily past this new-found son of ! his, and took up the sheet that lay beside the oandle-branch. A long mo ment he stood reading it, none heeding him. M. de La Tour l’Azyr read the letter slowly through. Then very quietly he replaced It. Then he stepped back to Mme. de Plougaslel s side and stooped to raise her. "Why was I never told? Why did you tell me that this child had died a few days after birth?” “I was afrai<Y I- —I thought lt\better so—that nobody, nobody, not even you, should know. There was Plou gast.el; there was my family.” Through the windows open to the garden came from the distance the faint throbbing of a drum to remind them of what was happening around them. At last Andre-Louis began to speak, his voice level and unutterably cold. “M. de La Tour d’Azyr.” he said. “I trust that you’ll agree that this disclosure alters nothing since it es Take advantage of these f Jw bright days.

Here, monsieur, take this safe-conduct which is made out for Mme. de Plougastel’s footman and with it make your escape as best you can. In return I will beg of you the favor never to allow me to see you or hear of you again.” The Marquis rose slowly to his feet again. He came slowly forward, his j smoldering eyes scanning his son’s face. “You are hard,” Jie said grimly, j “But I recognize the hardness. It derives from the blood you bear.” “Spare me that.” said Andre Louis. M. de La Tour considered him | gravely, sadly, in silence for a mo- | ment. He turned to Mme. de Plougastel. “Good-by, Therese!" His voice broke. ■ He has reached the end of his iron ! self-control. He held her face between his hands an instant; then very gently kissed her and put her from him. Standing erect, and outwardly calm again, he looked across at Andre-Louis. who was proffering him a sheet of paper. “It is the safe-conduct. Take it, monsieur. It is my first and last gift tq you. and certainly the last gift I should ever have thought of making you—the gift of life. In and sense it makes us quits. The irony, sir, is not | mine, but Fate’s. Take it monsieur, ] and go in peace.” | M. de La Tour d’Azyr took it. His
I eyes looked hungrily into the lean (face confronting him. so sternly set. He thrust the paper In his bosom, and then abruptly, convulsively, held out his hand. His son’s eyes asked a question. “Let there be peace between us. in I God's name,” said the Maxqius thickly. Pity stirred at last in Andre-Louis. Some of the sternness left his face. He sighed. “Good-by, monsieur,” he said. He loosed his son’s hand and stepped back. They bowed formally 'to each other. And then M. de La Tour d’Azyr bowed to Mile, de Ker j eadiou in utter silence, a bow that, contained something of utter renunciation, of finality. That done he turned and walked stiffly out of the room, and so out of all their lives. Months later they were to hear of him in the service of the Emperor of Austria. CHAPTER XTV Andre-Louis took the air next morning on the terrace at Meudon. The hour was very early, and the newly risen sun was transmuting into diamonds the dewdrops that still lingered on the lawn.

That even had he not killed Philippe de Vllmorin. things would still have been the same.” “But why, Andre?” He stood still and looked at her. “Because he sought you. Aline.” “I fought him—a rat fighting a lion —fought him relentlessly until I saw that love had come to take in your heart the place of ambition. Then 1 desisted.” “Until you saw that love had taken the place of ambition!" Tears had i been gathering in her eyea whilst he ! was speaking. Now amazement eliminated her emotion. “But when did you see that?

It was concern for yon,” she cried, without thinking what she said. He saw light, dazzling, blinding, and it scared him. “And that was why you fainted?” he asked, incredulously. She looked at him without answering. As she began to realize howmuch she had been swept into raying by her eagerness to make him realize his error, a sudden fear came creep ing into her eyes. He held out both hands to her. “Aline! Aline!” Hia voice broke on the name. M. de Reread ion, emerging a moment later from the library window, beheld them holding hands and staring each at the other, beatifically, as if each saw Paradise in the other’s face. THE END.
