DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR NATIONALIZATION OF COAL READERS God's will is so high above humanity that its goodness and perfectness cannot be scanned at a glance, and would be very terrible if it were not for His manifested love, manifested in Jesus Christ. Only that holds our hearts together when He shatters the world. —E. B. Browning. "Cross crossings cautiously." For every good film there should be good patronage. The welfare of the whole people should not be sacrificed in a battle of classes. The people have rights and interests which should not be trampled upon by any class. Some of the most wonderful inventions of all time have come within the last fifty years. Mob rule is the rule of lawless passion—unjust, menacing, deadly and wholly un-American. Let's have more massism and less classism; more co-operation and less destructive demoralization. Lynching violates the laws of God and man. It is an intolerable evil that breeds a long train of evils. The public should not be punished by the prolongation of strikes which should have been settled long ago. The taxpayer is burdened today "The taking over of the coal mines by the government to be operated by the unions on liberal terms wrung from the government is believed in some quarters to be the ultimate aim" of the strike leaders, agrees the Washington Post, which is believed to reflect the President's opinions more clearly than any newspaper. That something like nationalization, perhaps temporary, perhaps partial, is now extremely likely, is a view widely held by the press. The San Antonio Express agrees that the workers want nationalization, but after all, it feels that "further federal regulation is inevitable," coal being "just as essential to national life as the transportation system." Legislation that will provide authority over production and distribution and machinery to prevent or settle wage disputes is needed sorely. Such legislation, remarks the New York Times, "would be an extreme measure, repugnant alike to the miners and operators, but they may have to face it if they hold out unyieldingly." The nationalization of the coal mines, remarks the Helena, Montana, Record-Herald, would be "a last and unpala table, but perhaps unavoidable resort." Federal operation of the mines predicts the Philadelphia Ledger, "would come in forms that neither men nor management could welcome. Its inevitable aftermath would be drastic federal regulation, far-reaching, deep, crippling and savage." As to which party would be the more responsible, and which would suffer the more, opinions differ. The Canton Daily News sees one result reasonably certain: "If the government is forced to take over..." Let's have more massism and less classism; more co-operation and less destructive demoralization. Lynching violates the laws of God and man. It is an intolerable evil that breeds a long train of evils. The public should not be punished by the prolongation of strikes which should have been settled long ago. The taxpayer is burdened today more heavily than ever before. Conscientious, business-like attention should be given to relieving him. It is the preventable accidents in traffic which make the record so deadly. If there were no accidents except those which are unavoidable, the showing would not be so gruesome. Men and women of eminence are passing into eternity. Death is no respecter of persons. The great genius—the powerful figure—must pass, just the same as the humble and obscurate. Death is a leveler of distinctions. Worry has an active working partnership with disease and death. Indeed, the firm name might be Worry, Disease & Death—a firm which operates progressively to early human beings by the shortest route to the grave. Sensational murders here in California, not only cost human lives, but they are very costly to taxpayers, what with disagreeing juries and with second and third trials. The way of justice is strown with thorns and the taxpayer has to tread these thorny paths. The rairold strike can and should be settled. President Harding has presented a plan which the strikers will accept. The onus will be upon the railroad executives, should the stringle continue. There should be concessions, in the interest of the public. Marks the Helena, Montana, Record-Herd, would be "a last and unpala table, but perhaps unavoidable resort." Federal operation of the mines predicts the Philadelphia Ledger, "would come in forms that neither men nor management could welcome. Its meritable aftermath would be drastic federal regulation, far-reaching, deep, crippling and savage." As to which party would be the more responsible, and which would suffer the more opinions differ. The Canton Daily News sees one result reasonably certain "If the government is forced to intervene in order to operate the miners—the miners' union bids fair to be wrecked by such action, and the miners will have themselves to blame." On the other hand, the Ashville Times declares that "if federal control comes, it will be because the owners have made it inevitable by their arrogant policies," and "any hardship that it may work upon them will come in the nature of retributive justice." The government, in the opinion of the Albany Journal, "should take temporary possession of enough mines to supply public needs, and operate them for the public good until assurance is given that work under private management will be resumed and continued." It seems, however, to the Denver Times that whatever the government does in the way of operating, controlling or regulating coal-mining in the present emergency will be "the entering wedge which probably never will be withdrawn. Coal mining is an interstate affair, a national business on which all industry and national life depend. It is to be doubted if it ever returns to its former status." Similarly, the Washington Post is inclined to believe that the people would insist upon the new condition being permanent: "The government would retain a controlling hand upon the coal industry, and it would be regulated by law." Human life should be valued at its true worth and should be treated with respect and consideration. Murder should be depreciated and denounced on every hand, and murderers should be given punishment befitting the crime. Warren G.

PRESS COMMENT PRESIDENT AT HOME New York Evening Post Warren G. Harding, the country boy, rode into Marion, Ohio, on a mule through the mud. Warren G. Harding, the President of the United States, made his latest entry by motor car from the national capital on hard-surfaced roads. The contrast between the boy's lowly estate and the man's eminent position is scarcely greater than that between the physical condition of the Faithe. Their majesties King George and Queen Mary, accompanied by Dowager Queen Alexandra, attended the unveiling of a memorial to the late King Edward at Shadwell. King George and Queen Mary are pictured here passing along the lines of chering youngsters who attended the dedication and glimpsed the royal personages.

PRESIDENT AT HOME New York Evening Post Warren G. Harding, the country boy, rode into Marion, Ohio, on a mule through the mud. Warren G. Harding, the President of the United States, made his latest entry by motor car from the national capital on hard-surfaced roads. The contrast between the boy's lowly estate and the man's eminent position is scarcely greater than that between the physical condition of the United States then and now—a half century of progress for both man and commonwealth. The President must have enjoyed himself at the hundredth anniversary of Marion's founding. He is, as the author of "The Mirrors of Washington" truly said, a small-town man. In other words, a neighborly person, and fitted by nature to enjoy a home coming. True, this native gift has been developed into an art, and towards the end of the front porch campaign its exercise became decidedly formal. Still, that was a stiff grind, while the present outburst of neighborhood is merely a vacation. So the President's expansion of soul in the midst of his home folks can be appreciated by all and will be envied by many hungry for the scenes of their youth. Mr. Harding went back home to say, among other pertinent things, that the "Eighteenth Amendment is the will of America and must be sustained by the government and public opinion, else contempt for the law will undermine our very foundations." This is the President's first public utterance on that subject, and from the standpoint of statesmanship it leaves nothing to be desired. It is not without significance that the President reserved this stout declaration of principle until he faced his own people in his home town. About the only thing Moses overlooked in the Ten Commandments was the toothbrush. Freedom is a blessing only to people who know how to use it. Poets are not necessarily fragile and concerned only with the works of the spirit. Here is Harry Kemp, the famous "hobo poet" of Greenwich Village, who has turned boxer. In spite of his unofficial title, Mr. Kemp is a real versifier and not so much of a hobo after all, even if he does insist upon going without a hat. More than that, he gets into our best magazines. And now at the age of 38, he has started out to rival Jack Dempsey. He is training with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, who has trained boxers before and knows material when he sees it, and while he doesn't care much about the poetry side of Harry's life and nature, he declares that the poet will make a great fighter. Mer just give up, after awhile. For a time they may rebel against the adopting of their perquisites by the feminine half of the population, but after a certain amount of opposition, they surrender and say, "Oh well, take it all and keep it for yourselves." That seems to be what has happened in the world of smoke and tobacco. For a long time, conservative men protested at women's use of cigarettes. Evidently the complete surrender has come. For a men's club in Washington Heights has just banned cigarettes as "effeminate." ington's family in England, was placed upon the bust of the Father of His Country in St. Paul's chapel. It may be quite all right for women to usurp men's political jobs and get ahead of them occasionally in business; but how is this last victory of the feminine sex to be taken?
