CAnr.u "ss.n i:ss At Summit Hill, Pa., somebody was careless with a Btovo 67 years ago and started a vein of anthra cite burning. Since that time H, 000,000 tons of anthracite hint hern devoured by the flames and $3,000,000 spent In an effort to stop the fire. 'Which is another little .ermon against carelessness In handling matches and cigar butts. TRIMMING THE I.X-KAISKU They certainly have a grudge n gainst Mr. Hoheniollcrn In his late Imperial domain. After officials of the government recently decided It was best to al low him a fat sum of money for his estates In order to avoid morn hopeler-s actions at law. a petition has been signed by 1 2.500.000 peo ple demanding that the Reichstag vote upon the plan. This was 8, "00,000 more signers than ncces ry. Then, if the Reichstag doesn't vote against the cx.-ko.lser, the pe tition demands a plebiscite. In other words, the Germans aro intent upon confiscating the Hohen .ollern property. Putting property rights to a popular vote is certain to result In confiscation nine-tenths of the time. The Germans are playing with ilre. 8uch a matter should be left ;o Hie courts. VMionsiNi; bkookhart Senator lirookhart of Iowa is not yet unseated, but la a step closer io the abyss. Whether the S'-nate will follow Hi suggestion of the majority of the. elections committee and de flate panlcl F. Steck, Democrat, to have been elected should be a mat ter of a few days. If Urookhart Is ditched ho no doubt, will run again. If he is unhorsed before April 27 he can tile papers by that date to run In the June primaries in that state; if the Senate purposely de lays until nfter that date ho can testgn to file r.nd run against Senator Cummlngs.

Democrat, of Arkansas, seems to have had his ears to the esrphones rather steadily of late and arises to remark that the public Is "no long er being misled by false claims of prosperity and economy dissemi nated by an army of propagan dists." Business Is not good, ho says, except In spots; the textile mills and shoo mills "are running on part time, a.nd agriculture Is being destroyed." What he falls to mention Is that the te!le mills are having trouble due to the era of short skirts, which requires less goods, and the shoe Industry suffers because peo ple are getting about on tires. The tariff Is the big Issue, cays the senator. It isn't r gainst the law to yawn nt this point. i;i:r.u..Ti.G I'OTATOKS Kvcn the lowly potato crop Is be ing regulated nowadays and all in the Interest of good prices and a satisfactory income to growers. The crop reporting service for New England tells us that New England farmers this year are go ing to plant only OS. 7 per cent Of acreage devoted to potatoes last year. In Jlaluo and Connecticut, where organization of soll-tlllers Is most complete, the largest curtail ments will take place, 95 and 94 per cent respectively. In New Hampshire, Vermont and Massa chusetts, where organization Is of a more tenuous nature, the Inde pendent growers will plant a slightly larger acreage to potatoes. To keep things even with the In creasing population It Is said New England should plant seven per c-nt more to potatoes than last year. Instead, there will be 1.3 per cent less. The result: Watch prices after the 19C.G rrop. IOXG-1LUX COSTS The purpose of the Gooding bill was to mnko it possible for trans continental railroads to charge b-ss Sir a haul to the Pacific coast than to Intermediate points, so as to en able them to compete with the Panama canal. The, bill was defeated in the Sen ate. Two years ago a similar bill passed In the Senate but was de feated )n the House. A week ago the Interstate Commerco Commis sion refused the petition of seven railroads for permission to charge lower rates to the Pacific than to Intermedial!) points. The Gooding bill would have transferred rate-making powers on this point from the I. C. C. 10 Con gress, where it would have hern subjected to political consldera- lions. This would have been a step j The Connecticut river Hood evl l.ackartl. The radical element In I dently bos been poslpoivd, due to Congress, voted for the bill; King- 'h weather. ham and McLean and the other conservatives voted against It, The conservatives weru right In this in- j si a nee. If th.: railroads could charge : les.i lo the Pacific in order to com-j peto with the Panama canal, pio- ! pie ess. Winn; would have had to j foot (lie difference. It would have been like handing a subsidy to the j railioads and giving u black rye to the canal.

CIRCTS l'ARADLS Thar r only t doitn rtrcua organltutloni left la the country, whereas a decade ago there were at hast twenty, But of circus parades, those apecttcular exhibi tion at the noon hour through the downtown sections of tha cities "honored" by clrcu attractions, there li likely to be ftone left at all In the near future, If the decision of clrcua managers' made the other day hold good. It is rather hard to Imagine a circus coming to a town and not having a downtown parade with the loud-piped steam ralllcpe leading the procession Of red wagons, blar ing Jaw bands and clowns. Yet that Is what the circus managers propose to do. One can easily se, th logic of their standpoint. It Isn't the added expense of parading as such ex pense Is balanced by the added In terest aroused but the difficulties and hazards of modern traffic con ditions In the downtown sections of cities. A circus parade no longer can have everything Its own way. but must contest the highways with the multitude of automobiles that congest It. This has taken all the joy out. of the proceeding, It. sems, and many city authorities have be come so hard-hearted as not to ap preciate the value of having a cir cus outfit clutter up the main streets, even for the benefit of the awed public on the sidewalks. The objection of trained circus performers to tako part In such processions also readily can bo un derstood. The temperamental stunt performers, who take their lives In their hands dally to furnish thrills to the crowds in the tents, cannot be argued with very readily, and of late years they have come to have objections against participat ing in the noontime forays Into the heart, of cities. Jt added to the length of the working day and yielded a very small meed of satis faction. And without the Mars of the circus In lini sn important part, of the "come-on" preliminary wss lacking. The biggest circus on the circuit winters In Connecticut at Bridge port. The. Nutmeg s'rite, therefore, regards the circus business as a sort, of local industry so far as this one R concerned. The others win ter in the west and south. The process of wintering Ib not. exactly simple, as Ltrldgeporters can testify, it being necessary to keep the ani mals through their paces every day to prevent them from forgetting their acts. The animal trainers are the busiest part of the business all winter. We don't sympathize with the animal trainers so much as we do with the animals. Most animal acts are said to require cruelty. All Vermont needs is an Inven tor who can calk'late how to make motor-sleds. There, does not seem to be much logic behind the ukase In Phila delphia that false teeth are a menace to policemen and firemen, as they could place them In their pocl;ets when goin,-r into action..
