' i WHAT THE COAL MINES OK THE COUNTRY
I ARE NOW DOING.
m i
Mft It is customary for a part of the public to bo-
K rate the large conl producers whenever a short-
B , age of fuel occur. The operators arc bo far rc-
B : moved from the avenge conflumcr that they arc
HB seldom heard, and In consequence it in easy for
, other toiiKiies to utter alleged rcaHotm for high
; i prices which tiHtially prevail at the juncture
1 when supplies are most urgently needed. This
B1 ; juncture, the lime when cool weather In on or !k
j approaching, coincides with the Benson of politi-
u cat campaigns, and at this period there are poli-
' .' tlclnns who do not hesitate to proclaim that this
KjM or that large interest should be investigated. In
Af this respect the politician is heard to greater ml-
HH vantage than the coal operators, who arc usually
Hf content to rest on statistical facts that are dis-
W semlnatcd through trndc organizations, and as
1. the average man has little, if any, desire to read
m figures, especially when the daily papers are
m filled with more exciting topics, the coal pro-
BR I duccr goes unheard.
VH But the plain fact is that the coal operator
jHI is doing his level best to get out coal, and against
M Inrge odds, too. In the case of hard coal, the
BX railroads during the nine months ending with
H September carried 57,778,007 gross tons or 15
per cent more than In the corresponding period
H of 1016, 10 per cent over the like time in 1015, 15
Mj per cent over 1914, and 2G per cent over the first
Hfl nine months of 101!). Turning to bituminous
BBSB coal, the United SUttcs geological survey declares
that the shortage is not due to the failure of the
soft coal mines to produce more coal than in the
a pant. In fnctproduction on September 1st, last,
fl wan about a month ahead of last year, and it is
JBJH expected to finish the year with an Increase of
Sdl 10 per cent over 101G, the banner year, and of
B 25 per cent over 1015.
HHHB The tremendous increase in manufacturing
H and transportation activity this year has created
H a demand for soft coal in excess of any in the
Hj past', which Increase- is difficult to measure in
B terms of tons. It is certain, however, that de-
Hj mnnd has expanded by more than 10 per cent.
H To meet this demand the mines have been pro-
H ducing soft coal at a rate never before equaled.
H In the second week of July, 1017, the average
dally production was more than 1,000,000 tons,
BH the highest point yet attained. In the middle of
H August the lowest rate for the summer, 1,G.')8,-
HS 000 tons, wns recordetl, and in the liiHt week of
BH September the daily rate was 1,82:1,000 tons. In
H tho first eight months of 1017 the output of soft
H coal 'was :iG:i,500,000 tons or 117,000,000 tons
H more thnn in the first eight months of 11)10.
H Hero at home the coal mines arc in position
Hj and have been for a year or more to break all
HH previous records in production, but for the short-
1 age of railroad cars, which condition has given
H their miners work about half time for months
Hl and which also is getting no better fast. Utah
HH people and others dependent on Cnrlxm county
1 for their fuel supply may not come to the point of
HH suffering the coming winter for lack of it, but
HHj If they don'): there must soon be a change for
jH the better in the railroad car supply. The coal
j is here as are also the miners to take it from the
Hflj ground and all facilities otherwise for its han-
HE tiling. The blame attaches to the railroads
1 not any particular one, but all, "because of the
m jH system of handling cars for the coal trade.
! DAY HAS NOT ARRIVED FOR ABOLITION
H OF THE MIDDLEMAN .
H H Many and devious arc the methods devised to
H H shorten the route from the farm to the table.
H H But most of them don't fit in with the conveni-
H ence of tho consumer nor the necessity of the
H H producer. 'For instance, one state official has
H H made the suggestion that farmers set up signs
H H alongside- the roads, and indicating thereon what
HlHJ - they have for sale. Autoists from the city could
H H then see at a glance what they could purchase
j from farms as they passed.
Hj H In isolated instances this probably would be a
H M good plan. The Sun doubts, however, whether
H it would be of general utility. At the best, about
Hj II 5 per cent of the farm produce could be disposed
H flK of in that manner. Tho main difficulty lies in
K y the fact that the truck farmer cannot tnke
H IJ chances on selling his stuff in that manner.
P I When things arc ripe they have got to be sold,
B and he is perfectly willing to sell to automobile
H El parties if they put in an appearance, But he
H n N can't risk spoiling his produce to wait, even with
H 9 .a signboard alongside tho road.
PH 8 He will probably rush them to town and take
PH jH lesVi from a middleman than ho could get from
PH Hj automobile parties if they arrived. That's why
PPJ tho middleman existshe is in close touch with
PPJ M th'e great body of (onsumers and furnishes a
PPJ II ready ;narket on a large scale. That isn't saying,
PH IJ liowever, that tho middleman should be a specu-
PPJ U lator'or a profiteer. He's entitled to a reason-
PH fj nble return for his service to producer and con-
H w eumer.
Ppi IK Thday may come when wc will be able to get
PH gloiiwithout him. But it is not iiere yet.
WAR'S GREATEST POEM "I HAVE A REN
DEZVOUS WITH DEATH."
Renders of The Sun who hnvc n taste for the
unusual, the remarkable or the wonderful, will
appreciate the poem here printed. Snvc it rend
it to friends. The mental picture thnt it awakens
is far beyond what any other poem of the war
can do. It is a masterpiece. For tho benefit of
such readers as are not yet acquainted with the
circumstances of this wonderful stroke of genius,
The Sun is glad to tell the Btory.
Alnn Secgcr was a young American who en
listed in the French Foreign Legion in 1015. He
went through some of the most severe battles of
the wnr, and (wrotc poetry in the trenches. At
thnt time the great drive of the spring of 1016
was talked about, and young Secgcr had a pre
sentiment that he would not survive it.
He accordingly wrote the poem and mailed It
to a friend in America. In the spring of 1016
Secgcr was killed in battle.

It is announced that the food administration is
contemplating a vigorous enmpaign to induce I
farmers to plant more sugar beet acreage next I
season. This effort ought to succeed. There is
n good market in America for sugar produced in
America. We also have a good export market
r.s long as Germany is barred from the field. But
It Is worth while to remember that the Industry
which can now be so confidently encouraged to
expand wns on the verge of ruin In 10M, when
the placing of sugar on the free list was threat
ened. Beet sugar factories and cane sugar mills
were closing and the farmers were abandoning
beet sugar production. Only the outbreak of the
war and the hasty repeal of the clause of the
tariff law which proposed to place sugar on the
free list saved the Industry from ruin. Let us
expand the American sugar industry, but let a
not forget how near we came to ruining it by the
enactment of a tariff law drawn on democratic
lllni'H.
During the past year the railroads of our
country have paid higher wages, more taxes and
handled freight at lower rates than ever before.
Average wages were increased from $8-10.02 to
98G8.G0. Taxes increased from $6.11.20 per mile
to $680,GJ per mile. Aggregate compensation of
employes increased from $l,!lM;liG5,GG4 to $1,
412,:i70,100, or $07,013,526, or 7.4 per cent. Tho
average freight per ton per mile decreased from
7.07 mills for the year ending June 30, 1016, to
7.06 mills per ton per mile in the year ending
December 31, 1010. Passenger fares show n
slight increase. Total operating revenues in
creased 0.2 per cent. Operating expenses increas
ed G.'l per cent. Taxes increased 7.7 per cent.
The railroads aie the biggest single employing
industry in our country and all patriotic citizens
are interested in their welfare.
Continued revelations of von Bernstorff's ac
tivities show that he not only was a dilligcnt, if
rather credulous, diplomatic agent along the
, lines which the law of nations permits, but that
he transgressed the rules of neutrality time and
; time again. It cannot be that his offenses were
' not known to the powers that bo in Washington.
1 It cannot be that the secret service and the deci
1 pherers of foreign codes have only recently so
sharpened their wits that wo are getting recently
' discovered evidence of German perfidy. Tho
'fact probably is that the startling stuff that the
state department recently published has been in
their possession for a long time and kept under
cover for some reason which Burleson's rules re
garding tho editorial conduct of newspnpers will
not permit us to express an opinion nlraut.
Older residents of Carbon county will prob
ably remember when school teaching was pri
marily a man's profession. And they will tell
you thnt they had some muscular men teachers
in thoso days men who could swing a rod better
than they could teach. Most of the teachers in
Carbon county aro women today. True, men
have important positions in tho teaching pro
fession not because such men nre bettor teach
ers than women, but because they continue at
the job after they get married, which is not the
case with nine-tenths of our women teachers,
though no one blnmer thorn for preferring tho
domestic bliss of a home to the schoolroom. Of
the seven hundred and six thousand teachers in
the United States, five hundred nml thirty-seven
thousand are women.
Advertising goes a long way toward tho road
to success. It alone cannot produce success, but
when coupled with quality, as it usually is, there
is nothing that can stop it from reaching tho
goal. Merchants of Price have only one way to
reach the buying public hereabouts, and that
way is through printers' ink. The Sun calls at
tention to attractive bargains every week. It
tells its readers what's what in merchandise. In
deed, this is one of its most important services
to re tiers, and advertisers are fully justified in
endeavoring to take full advantage of it. Now
is an especially propitious time to begin watch
ing tho advertisements of Price merchants.
