Suppose w e do not buy our coal early, as Dr. Garfield advises, will the fuel administrator

i come along next winter and confiscate our sup- ! ply for ihf use of some .'el low who disregards his advice? Columbus Republican, f That is a mightly pertinent question. It is the com- ' moik'st thing in the world for the provident to have-to

t;ike care of the improvident. That is the history of t civili7.ni ion itself. Wouldn't it he splendid for a chap

to fill his coal bin with coal earned by the sweat of his brow in summer to' have one of tJarfield's lieutenant n-'! winter sa. : "Here, you've got tB ton of coal in the to and .Tones hasn't an; , couch up fie tons for .'one?." Another thins the householder would like settled and tiiat is the price of coal. Suppose he puts in len tons of coal and pays the (! abu- ten doMars a ton and along about September the fuel administration makes a lower price? Let's know somethina about the coal enigma before we stock up.

WHY NOT INDEED!

Big as they may be' it rather seems to many peopie j that some of the men who are trying to .olve problems j

of the war in this country with reenrd to saving and conservation have a mania for doins silly thincs. The "skip-stop'' problems have been a source of joy unalloyed to the conservation statistician. There are, he fflls us. approximately r.H.Oith.O'Xi car r-tops made in the United States eveiy day. The elimination of one-third of these, together with the regulation of car heating, mould, it is announced, mean a saving of not less than 1,500,000 tons of coal a year. Rut why save coal at the expense or public comfort and convenience? Why not mine it, haul it, and distribute it?

THEY ARE USELESS. Somehow these little tracts and newspapers that come to this desk from the Cook County jail from a Hammond I. V. "NY. are rather pathetic when jou come to think of it, hu' they are seed sown on stony ground. We cannot help feeling that this brother man of ours is misguided. His mind is set in the wrong groove. We find ourselves utterly out of tune with the 1. W. W. and the Bolsheviki for they are one to all intents and purposes. They are both against law and order. Never in the world's history is there so much need of law and order as there is at present. The 1. W. W. claim to believe in non-resistance. They are against the war. but yet they are against the government and they would use dynamite to obtain their ends. They would offer no resistance to the Ilun disciple of pillage, rape, carnage and dishonor and yet they would if they had their way use force against their country. They want the wage system abolished and capitalism abolished and these are two thins the people of this country will never stand for. They seek the overthrow of the government entirely. They believe in desperate measures and chaos. Just as the bolsheviki have done to Russia they would would be here. They are playing the kaiser's game and the more rabid of the I. W. W. ought to feel grateful to the government that they have not been lined up against stone walls and shot.

PITY THE POOR SOLDIER. Henry A. France, whose "Vagabonding Down il4rAndes'' is a recent publication of the Century Company, i.? now with the American expeditionary force somewhere in France and has not been assigned with the rank, of lieutenant to headquarters duty. He recently v. rote "What Sherman said was no exaggeration. The horrors of getting so fat I do not know myself are upon the bed furnished by a French family, makes getting up endless French meals a day and doing away with a never ending supply of wine sums up my misfortunes However, I have been promised a real job with the privilege of crawling by night over into the German trenches when once we actually get started at them.''

MORE FRUITS OF PROHIBITION. A writer in the London Observer notes that wTiii the Russian revolution burs upon the world it evoke.; universal admiration by its lofty spirit, of patriotism, humanity and tolerance. The temperate conduct of the po de and the humane treatment ot fallen rulers were wonderful: . This same writer now calls attention to the ghas'ly change that has come over the Russian people. From an even-going revolution there has followed an orcy of wildest excesses. Russia bids fair to be drenched in blood. Why have the Russian people changed? Here is the reason. The czar suddenly enforced prohibition. Vsod to drastic orders the Slav accepted it for the time beinr and the czar's manda'e was enforced by a powerful mtt chine. A sudden chare was brought about in a country notoriously intemperate. It was too unnatural to e!s You cannot chance humanity overnight; laws will not. do that. Instead of bringing about temperance by a campaign of education; instead of eradicating industrial neglect and immorality (which is the greatest breeder of the drink evil); instead of attending to the thincs that produce intemperance, the rzar sought to bring the whole thing about by fiat. He failed. As a result Russia today teems with secret distll-

The TIMES acknowledges receipt of the Northern; Indiana Conference edition of the Veteran Preacher, a i

magazine devoted to facts concerning retired ministers. This is P'irt of Methodism's 'propaganda to raise a $!V OhQ.OOo fund, the income of which xxill be sued to assure superannuated clergymen of that faith that when their services are through they will not want. Many donations lag in their regard for the retired minister. Wi'h Catholicism there is the advantage that the old priest does not have a family or o.her dependents and he is cared for either in a spiritual retreat or by some diocesan proviso. Put with Protestant clergymen, the greater number of whom are mariied. many churches have only recently considered in a practical manner the problem now pressing for solution. In the Veteran Preacher magazine there is a story of one man, minister for o0 yeais, whose average salary was $671. It is enough that we underpay clergymen let. alone making them worry about the future. What the Methodist Episcopal church is doin? and what others have done should be a measure that concerns all churches. A worker for the Lord should not be forgotten ny His people.

ODORS IN WAR TIME. These are war times. Let the hog and ihe hen and the cmv override every town ordinance ever prescribed. It should be thus. But si ill, in Valparaiso, Prof. L. F. Bennett was brought in'o court because he keeps cows as a side line from his university work. Cows, naturally, are odoriferous creatures, and the odor reached the nostrils of the neighbors. These same cows, in peace times, passed peaceful days in Valpo. Now, ih war times they cause contention and protest. Valparaiso should smite her cow ordinance at this critical time in favor of Professor Bennett, who is a conservationist and a producer as well. Prof. Bennett would save the eand dunes, and. if the neighbors xv ill let him alone, he will continue to produce good rich milk for his satisfied customers. Why kick against odors before the war is won? Hebron Herald.

IR WORK MOVES IN INDIANA

rinr.s Til RKU AT STATE 4 rif AI.. INDIANAPOLIS. lnd.. March 4. South Bnd. Rochester, Fort Wayne. Knox county. Laperte county and a number of the larger cities of the state hs.e come through in the past week xiiih important rr.oxes in the direction of war work, food conservation, boys" wrk. snd ether things connected with the national crisis. For instance, r. t South Bend. Mayor Carson ha issued positive orders to the police department t. pr-.t-ibit the groceries, meat markets, bakeries and other food handling plants from keepinge.pen on Sundays. Mayor Carson pays there is no nocessitv f..r these piai es to do business Sunday; it is a violation of the statutes of Indiana. He saxs it is a waste of man power, end that by keeping these places closed much aid will be given to the con-mn-ain rC f.3ol tabor and food.

"The slight inconvenience to care

less housewix-es will be more than compensated for by the saving of fuel, labor end food." Mayor Carson sa.d. The example set by th mayor of South Bend, undoubtedly will be taken up by the mayors of other cities, and i: is said that a number of thern are considering the issuance of a similar order to their police departments. Fulton county's council of defense ba employed Grosvenor Da we. of R -ehester. to serve as war director f li e cunty. The county has approp-.-Bted $l.Sim to pry his salar.v fo ra year end lie will devote his entire time to the work of placing: Fuiton county in the front rank of xvar work. Knox county commissioners have allowed claims for expenses incurred by the county council of defense in carrying on war work In that county. In doing: so. the commissioners spread on their records a notation reading: as follows: "A pressing and indispensable public necessity exists for the maintenance of the Knox County Council of Defense on aecount of a state of war now existing, and for the expenditure of money therefor from the appropriation heretofore made by the county council of Knox county, and that they maintain and. make efficient said council of defense, it is necessary for Knox county to pay the legitimate expenses of said council of defense, including: the payment for yarn for knittinsr for the soldiers, which was a. benefit to the citizens of said county," The State Council of Defense has called attention to the txvo instances of Fulton r.nd Knox counties and urging: other counties of the state to adept similar plans. County councils of defen.ie in many e' the counties of the state are reporting: that township trustees, assessois and advisory boards of-townships aie rapidly takins lo!d of the plan for organizing bun I councils of defense. It i? pointed out that no communitx- i too small to have its own council of defense to co-ordinate and encourage xxar work among: the people. The Alien county- council of defense has written ea.h township official saying: Sm-p this is a duty of necessity, humanny and honor, we know j-ou win cheerfully accept the responsibility." It is said that every township and schoot district in Allen county will respond with the organization of a council of Defense for the duties arising: out of the war emergency. Intenstxe speakine: campaigns a . being: organize jr, many counties. La -porte county has arranged a schedule of meetings for ei'ery school district with authoritative speakers on every phase of war xxork. and each meeting xvill be followed by a formal organization ef the residents of the community further ti enlist support of eveiy patriotic aet-x itv. The list if county war Conferences xxill continue up to the middle of March. Tn manv counties meeting, had to be delayed on account of inclement weather, but all will b held.
