-Paragrafs. The Price of Coal Goes Down

Hundreds of consumers laid in their next

out of the District fight. If the Democratic rule of the House is so weak that the president has to take a hand in trying to help elect a representative, it proves that his party must be slipping fast. The president's participation in the fight was a tacit admission of weakness.

An Educational Program for the War Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commis

sioner of education, is giving the problem of edu

cation during the war considerable thought and

consideration. He urges parents to keep their

children in school and at college. After the war,

the intense competition of the foreign countries

will demand a more highly developed mental ef

winter's sunnlv of coal at a fieure that was high ficiency in America to combat successfully for

and that tested their pocketbooks to the limireign trade invasion.. After pointing out that at-

Now they learn that the price of the fuel has

dropped and that they paid an exorbitant ratei

What can they do? Seemingly no hope is held out. They must stand their loss and blame conditions rather than their judgment. It is a shame that hundreds of consumers in this city cannot recdver part of the differential that went to swell the coffers of the heartless persons responsible for the robbery. It may console some of us to know that thousands of poor persons next winter will be able to buy fuel at a cost that is not robbery. They will benefit by the change.

Wood vs. Wilson Representative Wood took President Wilson to task last Friday on the floor of the House for entering the . political fight that was waged in the Sixth District between R. N. Elliott and Finly H. Gray, the president, as was to be expected, supporting the Democratic nominee. Many voters of the District resented the letter which the president wrote to Gray and which the Democrats used as campaign material. The voters argued that this fight concerned the , JJixth District and that national and international proems did not enter into it. Their resentment against "wHaoa -showed itself in the heavy vote against Gray. -v The president told voters, in his letter of endorsement that Gray had"1 given the administration most generous and cordvsupport. Wood in his speech answered: "So anxious 'was the president for the election of Mr., Gray that he permitted, memory for the timebeing to fail him and his regard for the truthful statement of plain facts to be thrown into the discard as the indisputable evidence amply discloses." We believe the president should have stayed

tendance laws should be enforced as usual, Dr.

Claxton says:

"Parents should be encouraged to make all possible efforts to keep their children in school and should have public or private help when they

can not do so without it. Many young children

will lack the home care given them in times of peace, and there will be need of many more .kindergartens and Montessori schools than we now

have

"The attendance in the high schools should be

increased, and more boys and girls should be induced to remain until their course is completed. A school year of four terms of 12 weeks each is recommended for the high schools, as for the ele

mentary schools. In the high schools adopting

this plan arrangements should be made for half time attendance, according to the Fitchburg, Cin

cinnati and Spartanburg, S. C, plans, for a large

proportion of pupils as possible. "All laboratories and manual-training shops in high schools should be run at their full ca

pacity. In many of the shops work should be

done which will have immediate value for the na

tional defense.

"In all high schools in which domestic sci

ence (sewing, cooking, sanitation, etc.) is taught

large units of time should be given in the sum

mer and fall to sewing for the Red Cross and for

local charities.

"Classes for grown-up women should be

formed in which practical instruction can be giv

en largely by lecture and demonstration in the

conservation and economic use of food

"For all boys and girls who can not attend the

dav sessions of the high schools, continuation

classes should "be formed, to meet at such times as may be -arranged during working hours or in

the evening. All cities should maintain evening

schools for adult men and women. In cities hav

ing considerable numbers of immigrants, evening schools should be maintained for them with class

es in English, in civics, and such other subjects

as will be helpful to these foreigners m under standing our industrial, social, civic, and politi cal life." .

The Forum

To the Editor: , Last Sunday. July 1, has been designated as Food Saving Day and it is the desire of Herbert Hoover, United States food expert that every minister and friend of Truth exercise their proper leadership, in the feeding of the world. ' Last year's wheat crop was short and this year's crop is sUll shorter with an increased demand brought on by the general world war conditions. It therefore behooves every person to avoid all waste so the ulmost good may be accomplished with what there Is at hand. Many persons who cannot enter into full sympathy with the regular war program can most earnestly enter into this struggle of supplying a world need and conserving life itself, regardlees of how such need was brought on. There should be encouragement given in favor of an Increased acreage of substantial food in place of more luxuries, especially tobacco. Though this may be belated advice for this season, it may be still needed next season. Recently my attention was callod by a man who said he was himself a moderate drinker and smoker, but he believed the times demanded and the true spirit of patriotism demanded, that we deny ourselves the unnecessary frills that all might have the necessaries of life, by growing these necessaries on hundreds of acres where tobacco has been grown in the past. . ' ' We are glad to note that the government has already taken steps to save for proper food consumption what would otherwise have gone to the distilleries, etc., turned into alcohol, and been more than wasted. But there is sUll another phase of tLe food problem that must not be overlooked and that is, that in spite of the scarcity of food the price must

not be so exorbitant that It will be beyond the reach of the masses to get their just portion thereof, without exhausting tlieir whole energy to obtain their small portion, with no energy left for the myriad of other obligations expected of them in this crisis. Mr. Hoover speaks plainly on this point when he says in his letter, "The present excessive cost of food is not justified. There is no corresponding shortage of supply in America." It seems that with all of our investigating committees, etc., little real progress and relief has thus far been brought to the great mass of the American people. It seems like hypocrisy and irony to a large mass of wage earners, who are hardly able to obtain sufficient food to keep from feeling the pangs of hunger and clothing to keep their bodies properly protected to ask such people from wast: ing supplies of food when they have nothing to waste on account of millionaires being allowed to heap up more millions at the expense and oppression of the great mass of common peoplewho constitute our commonwealth, and all this oppression by the wealthy carried on under the protection of the American government. . As Americans we would punish him who would desecrate the American flag by spitting on it, but he who by his wealth oppresses the mass of American people for his own aggrandizement is worse than he that spits upon the flag. For in the one case there is involved an emblem that stands for the people while on the other hand there is involved the ?ractical and direct suffering of the people or objects represented by the emblem: Let us all, personally, as far as in us lies, endeavor to do all we can to conserve and increase the food supply and also most earnestly request those in authority to use every' opportunity available to help put an end to food speculation and bring about a direct co-operative system between producers and consumers, as far and as fast as practical.

Welcome To First American Troopers

A FRENCH SEAPORT, Thursday, June 28 (Delayed by Censor). General Pershing, the American commander; . General Pelletier, representing French General Headquarters, and a small staff arrived here early this moning from Paris. A pouring rain and the early hour kept all but a few hundred enthusiastic townspeople at home, but those who were on hand welcomed the general warmly. General Pershing will confer with General ( ) this morning. He will then visit Rear Admiral Gleaves on the flagship this afternoon. Delegations of American army officers from Paris and American naval men from elsewhere were present with French military men of high rank and a similar representation from the French navy to receive the new fighting forces of the allies when they arrived early this week. s Sight Land on Monday. Land was first sighted from the transports on Monday night after an exciting trip through the submarine zone. Frequent warnings of submarines operating in the expedition's course were received during the last few days of the voyage and the passage through the war zone was made at high speed. The men, were prepared for every emergency during this period.'' Boats and life rafts were placed so as to be quickly available and the watches at all the lookout stations were heavily reinforced. " j Weather conditions during the entire voyage were ideal and the men ar

rived in excellent health. The days were warm and the nights cool and comfortable, while the - sea was unusually smooth. .Very few cases of sea sickness or other illness were reported. Get Royal Welcome. The first contingents of American troops were greeted joyfully by the population of this whole district. The transports, whose expected arrival had not been previously announced publicly; came streaming into the harbor in a long line at an early hour. The news that the Americans were arriving spread with amazing rapidity and Tsy the time the troop ships drew alongside the quays where the men were to disembark, thousands of persons were on hand to greet them. A wild welcome was shrieked by whistles of craft in the harbor and cries of "Vive La France," and "Vive Etats Unis" seemed to come from every throat in the crowd, which was thickly dotted with the vari-colored uniforms of French soldiers and sailors. Meanwhile the bands on the warships were playing the Star Spangled Banner and the Marseillaise as the American colors were hoisted to their staffs. The town soon took on a holiday appearance and before the day was over scores of American' flags were flying along with the Tri color of France.
