1 believe in the United Stales of America as a government
of the people, bp the people, for the people, whose
fast powers are derived from the consent of the governed;
a] democracy in a republic, r. sovereign Nation of many
sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable.
~ , nfini/twiwi upon in use principles oj jreeaom, equality, jusIke,,
and humanity for vhich American patriots sacrificed
]thei)0ves and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty
'iKjrnpcoantry to love il,\ to support its Constitution; to
'o&p^miartvs; to respect its flag; and to defend it against
COAL CONSUMERS WARNED.
ACCORDING to .press dispatches from Baltimore,
Col. Jere Wheelwright, chairman of the. board of
directors of the Consolidation Cord company and the retiring
president of die National Coal association, has issued
a warning to die coal consumers of the country of a prospective
coal famine during next winter unless there is a
movement to put coal in storage at points of consumption
during the summer months. In his statement last night
ObLWheelwright said:
"Later on, conditions will not be so favorable.
In the first place, the grain crop 1b en or- mous
and the railroads mast provide for the
proper handling of this situation, as foodstuffs
come first. Coal, however, will be second on
the list, when the troop movements are out of
the way, and as the demand is going to be
'"" large, one can apprectae the gerat congestion
which may take Dlace when the traffic den
Blty Increases. To these conditions are added
the difficulties which coal producers face when
the thermometer Is down around the zero
~ ~ .... mark. Handling coal Is slow work In such
' . - . - weather and, naturally, the supply of fuel
wonld he reduced."
I This is right in line with the position taken by The,West
on May 16. At that time we suggested that the
National Coal association issue a warning, but the statement
made by a former president of the organization and
one of the country's most prominent coal producers will
servejequally as well.
J BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER'S BURDENS.
lUST*as we believe that a wife should know enough
J' about her husband's business to be able to manage it,
oral least watch with understanding the management of it,
ifhe dies, so we hold that the husband should know enough
about'the rearing of children, and the work of the house,
to be independent if his wife dies, or goes home to mother,
or decides to tour for suffrage.
The average man is a pitiful sort of a boob when left
alone with the children. And there is no excuse for him
not knowing where the safety pins go in the clothes of little
brother, or where the flour bin is, or what the chain dish
doth is on earth for. A man can learn to cook his own |
meals in much less time than it takes to master golf, apd
fa washing .dishes is not much harder than going fishing.

MANPOWER?MAKE IT PAY.
\ VT7HEN production falls behind and '* : ;:r"-tmcit
* * fails to pay dividends the w, e of industry
now sends in a hurry call for the doctor, the new type of
plant efficiency expert who has more than made good.
The world war cleared the field for him. He stepped
into the breach when 100 per cent efficiency was demanded
and completed a task business experts were unable to
cope with. He is going to be more in demand during reconstruction
while America races with other nations in the
contest for world trade.
Manpower was never before regarded as such an important
factor in industry. Every diseased man on a company
payroll is a liability rather than an asset. Business
experts have failed to take this into consideration. ' Theyj
have allowed for a maximum loss of time among employes, ;
attempted to tighten up on some other items and let it go
at that The new type of efficency expert?the doctor? ]
went after manpower and he tackled the biggest problem '
first, venereal diseases.
He had learned his lesson well from the army. It was|
that venereal diseases disabled more soldiers than any other ;
ailment. It was safe to assume the same cause disabled !
c- i:r i-i . c t .
iuvic ciu^iuycs in cjvu nrc, as ine nignesi race or mrecaon
in the army was among the drafted men.
Remarkable results have already been secured. A big
manufacturing concern in West Virginia followed the advice
of a health expert and installed a clinic for the free
treatment of venereal disease at a cost of between $5,000
and $6,000 for the first year. The plant had a payroll
- during the period of $ 125.000. The president of the company
has informed the United States Public Health Service
that as a result of the clinic treatment labor efficiency
was improved 33 1-3 per cent, which he said made the
return from the investment $40,000.
This is only one of several similar instances where modem
plants have adopted modem methods of obtaining
efficiency and are striking direct at the weakest point?
manpower.
Every day some new industry takes up the fight and
adopts the program for industrial work 'outlined by the
Public Health Service. It is a good thing for every employer
of labor to look into.
Millions upon millions are spent annually maintaining
industrial machinery supply spare parts to keep it going and
constant care to prevent corrosion.
How much is being spent annually to keep the human
machinery going and prevent the costly depreciation caused
by venereal diseases?

Yesterday Senator Reed, of Missouri, mads his speech
against the League of Nations, and was even more absurd
than Senator Sherman in his deliverance of last
Friday. With these two splenetic speeches out of the
way we can hope for a discussion of the leagus on its
merits.
For the first time since February 1. 1917, trading In
the New York stock exchange yesterday went over the
2.000,00Y? share mark and the news stories say the day's
business was especially Interesting because it was characterised
by a greater degree of enthusiasm and confidence
than any of the sessions since last February, when
Wall Btreet first began to show confidence In the business
situation of the country. The boom so confidently
predicted by the big business men of the country seems
to have started in real earnest. Wise men who hope to
profit by it will get aboard as soon as possible.
tub-American troops on tne rtortn nusstan rront are
being withdrawn,, according to advices from Archangel
made public yesterday by the War department. From
Paris comes the news that this country -will have no
part in the conditional recognition of the forces that are
winning the light against the bolshevlkl. All of this is
in accordance with agitation in the United States senate
and elsewhere throughout the country, but ten years
from now when American business finds it difficult to
hold its own in reconstructed Russia the blame will be
placed upon shipping conditions or tariffs or something
else that has no real bearing upon the matter.
Pittsburgh Is planning a parade for that part of the
Eighieth division that belongs in the western end of
Pennsylvania. The Smoky City may have its faults, but
lack of gratitude and a proper pride In its fellow citizens
are not numbered among them.
It was announced yesterday that the General Motors
company had placed an order with the United States
Steel Corporation for 240,000 tonB of steel. Other large
orders have also been booked within the past few days.
Pretty soon everybody will want steel at the same time.
The prospect for a too prosperous fall are very bright.
