be. a howl from the coal men. The public will be prepared for this, and will give the dealers a fair hearing, but their sympathy will be on the side of Mr. Garfield. The coal men have merited this attitude by their own policies.

Retail Coal Prices Whenever the question of excessive retail prices comes to the front for discussion, extravagant charges and counter-charges are in order. The coal dealers today find themselves on the defensive, trying to meet the accusation of the government -and the public that excessive prices have been charged for this fuel. The public, as is to be expected, insists that the margin of profit taken by the dealers is in excess of reason and justice. The coal dealers answer that not they, but the operators reaped the superlative profits. The coal dealers of Richmond and other cities are having a hard time to explain their position to the public. The federal report shows that they were party to the excessive exploitation 6f the public during the last few years. How far the local dealers actually went cannot be ascertained, but prices here were about the same as those in Indianapolis. Investigation at Indianapolis disclosed excessive profit taking by the dealers. The dealers are using the argument that it costs a tremendous amount of money to deliver coal in Richmond. The truth of the contention cannot be answered until the books of the dealers are examined. All of us know that the consumer pays fifty cents a ton to have his coal delivered from the street to the basement. We suspect that the men who carry the coal do not receive fifty cents a ton for their work, and that

a wide margin exists between the wages paid for the work and the charges made for it. The dif

ferential goes to the coal dealer. The Indianapolis News editorially sizes up the situation in a manner that does net give much sympathy to the dealers. It says: The public will stand squarely behind Mr. Garfield in his plan to see that the ultimate consumer gets the benefit of the reduction of coal prices at the mines. The people are only indirectly interested in the price of coal at the mines, but they are deeply and personally interested in the retail price. Long and bitter experience has taught that low prices for the producer does not necessarily mean low prices for the consumer. If any real relief Is to be given the consumer the coal must be followed every step of the way from the mines to the home bins by the closest scrutiny to prevent the taking of exorbitant profits by middlemen. The operators have not been solely to blame for the high coal prices. Retailers and other middlemen have at times seemed to act together in a way that served their own interests at the expense of the public. The effect of government interference should be to remove altogether any possibility of illegal combination. A difficult task may be encountered in the regulation of retail prices. The federal trade commission's report on Indianapolis conditions showed that it costs some companies much more to handle a ton of coal than it costs other companies. Should the rate of profit to be allowed retailers be based on the cost of handling coal by the most efficient and successful business or should it be based on an average cost? In either case some companies will be obliged either to reorganize their business or to quit business altogether. No matter what policy is pursued there is certain to

Giving Credit Townes R. Leigh, writing in the Cincinnati Enquirer, takes exception to the current notion that the Germans have been supreme in invention and science. , He adduces a long list of inventions that were produced by Englishmen and Americans, and then alks why Germany should be hailed as the leader of the scientific world.

Germany had advertised herself so extensively, he holds, that the whole world has accepted her claims without subjecting them to close scrutiny. His argument follows r ' , During the last few months I have heard the Germans arraigned as blatant, boorish, barbaric, yet in nearly every case the speakers suffixed to their invectives such an expression as: "But when it comes to brains you will have to hand it to them ; they have made science." . Why hand it to them? What epoch-making invention or discovery is of German origin, except a stamp on which is inscribed "Made in Germany?" The steam engine has been called the greatest of all inventions. It broke the shackles from slaves; it mingled the marts of the world; it made neighbors of the antipodes. Newcomjen, a native of Devonshire, obtained the patent for the first partially successful steam engine ; Watt, a Scotchman, perfected it ; Cuynet, Murdock and Trevithick brought forward the locomotive, not on German soil ; Stephenson, an Englishman, was the first to apply the locomotive steam engines to railways for passenger traffic; France, England and America applied it to navigation. The telegraph, which brings us the daily history of the world, was invented by an American, Professor Morse, who also suggested the Atlantic cable, which was subsequently laid by that American merchant-scientists, Cyrus Field, assisted in "mooring the new world alongside of the old" by Lord Kelvin, the prince of physicians, a British subject. Graham Bell, the chief inventor of the telephone, was born in Scotland and grew to fame in America. A young Italian, Marconi, gave wireless telegraphy to the world. Cyrus McCormick, a native of West "Virginia, nroduced t he reaDinsr machine which harvests the

food of thV world; Meikle, of England, brought forth the threshing machine ; thus was famine banished. Ely Whitney, of Massachusetts parentage, invented tha cotton gin; Hargraves, an Englishman, made me spinning jenny; Ark-

wright, also English supplied its deficiency with

his famous spinning ,'f rame ; the Englishman Kay

introduced the fly shuttle in weaving; Brunei, who devised the knitting machine, and Cartwright, inventor of the power loom, were British subjects. Thus was the world clothed. Although Germany is militaristic and worships at the shrine ofMars, what votive offering has she made to the God of war? It was not she who contributed gunpowder, smokeless powder, percussion cap, nitroglycerine, guncotton, dynamite, torpedo, shrapnel, automotie cannon, magazine rifle, breechZ-loading gun, Gatling gun, revolver, Maxim silencer, hammerle'ss gun, gunboat, ironclad batteries or ship armor plate, revolving turret, submarine or airplane. Germany did not produce the first aniline dye, vulcanized rubber, liquid gases, gas engine, water gas, thermometer, barometer, piano forte, barbed wire, cut nails, plate glass, circular saw, cable car, electric car, sleeping car, air brake, bicycle, automobile, pneumatic tire, sewing machine, typewriter, calculating machine, cash register, steel writing pen, etc., ad infinitum.

VICTIMS OF BANDITS

CIRCUS HAS RED CROSS SERVICE

There are two departments of the Jess Willard Buffalo Bill Wild West show and circus which the public rarely comes in contact with, and yet they are of the greatest importance in the conduct of the big enterprise. One of these departments is the Red Cross service. The other Is a branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In a performance like that given by the Jess WillardBuffalo Bill show, which depends for ita success upon the whirlwind riding and the often reckless courage of the

cowboys, cowgirls, and other strenuous people, accidents among the performers are Inevitable. The showgrounds are often so rough that even the most sare-footed horse will stumble and fall, throwing the rider to the ground; and in the bucking-broncho exhibitions the wild horses make every effort to dismount and injure their unwelcome riders, and sometimes they succeed. When a rider is thrown and stunned, or any other mishap occurs in the srena, there is never any excitement among the cowboys. The audience has not been aware of the fact, but just behind the canvas wall that separates the arena from the dressing tent, a corps of Red Cross men, in khaki uniforms, and with a stretcher ready for Instant use, has been on guard, and without the loss of a moment they hurry into the arena, gently place the injured cowboy or cowgirl on the stretcher and rapidly disappear. There is scarcely a hitch in the program ; the program uninterruptedly continues, while Dr. Warner, the show's "resident physician," examines the injured one and decides whether
