Audit Bureau Of Circulations THE VICIOUS CIRCLE Nothing could better illustrate the wrong way to go about remedying present economic evils than the program of the United Mine Workers of America, as outlined by some of their representa tives. ' ;' ' ' , It is said that the miners, most of whom are engaged in the coal industry, are going to ask for a wage increase of -about 50 cents making probably $8 a day or more, and along with it a re duction of working time to six hours a day and six days a week. That would mean about $50 a week for 30 hours work. Thirty hours work, if divided as usual among six days, would mean five hours a day. .A- It may be that the miners need a liberal wage increase to meet the rising cost of living. It may be granted, too, that miners ought to be well paid for the time they put in, because their work is hard, disagreeable and dangerous. But when the demand for a big wags increase is coupled with the demand for a big reduction in work ing time, the absurdity of it ought to-be apparent to anyone fa miliar with present economic conditions, , ; We might leave out of consideration the insistent fact that the world needs coal, as it needs all other commodities, and that any industry which deliberately does anything to curtail production is btiirking its duty and refusing to play" its part in the general re . habitation Of the world. Considering the matter purely f rom the standpoint of the miners themselves, we are likely to find the plan operating in a vicious circle which defeats its own aims. The .miners,' working shorter hours, naturally produce less coal. That makes coal dearer for everybody. Obtaining higher vvuges, they add still more to the cost of coal, ' Everybody elsp, liaving to pay more for coal, has to charge more for his services or output. Thus everything the miners themselves buy will soon cost more. ' If everybody else put into effect this plan of the miners we should simply have everybody doing less work, making less wealth, and at the same time getting more money and prices gq ing up an'd up and up, so that even the high pay would buy less tlian usual, liecause there would be less to buy, since production would be materially decreased. It would make money more and ; more worthless and in the end virtually destroying its purchasing .value.; And the world would be ill-fed and poorly clothes because the people had to a large degree ceased to work, just as the Rus sians have since they adopted a similar program through revolu tion against organized government. L'i - There is really only one way to restore comfortable liv'ng con ditions'. It is to increase production tof all the necessaries of life. RIPPLING By Walt STUNG. The grocer overcharged two cents last evening, in his tinhorn store; and he may raise some loud laments, but I t-ball go there nevermore. Most any man may sting me once, but that one instance should suffice; methinks I'd be a first class clunce to let the same man sting me twice. ' I'll pardon any-man's mistakes, if there's no guile within his heart; but when he makes malicious breaks, I say, "Farewell- We twain must part! You classed me with the easy jays, you hung the boob sign on my brow; hence forth we go our divers ways, companions once, but stran gers now." My trade the grocer soon will miss; I bought large quantities of prunes; and he, his bosom filled with bliss, raked in my hard-earned picayunes. The giant swind ; ler may arrive, and sting me sore in my own hall, sell bo 1 gus stocks in blocks of five, and I admire him for his gall. 'The polished grafter may appear, with every smooth and modern curve, and leave me broke, or pretty near, and I respect him forhis nerve. I smile-when highly gifted gents get all the coin I have to spare; but when I'm stung for seven cents I walk the: floor and tear my hair. LAJDD & BUSH BANKERS . Established 1SG8 !

It all seems so hopeless. Small dingy rooms, at fifteen dollars a week. I can't pay that. My nest-egg has dwindled so, that I must live carefully as it is. So I turned away from the only nice-looking boarding houses. i Fifth avenue with its hurrying foui o'clock crowds, I hardly saw. Only the uniforms and the straight, tanned men in them, I always looked at. Much a splendid, well-groomed uniform was. coming toward mo. I liked the line of white showing above the- collar. I liked the shining leather logging. And yesr I -liked the nice boy 's face titular the visored cap. 8uch a clear light in the "blue eyes. Ho must be seeing vis ions! " - t Next minute those clear, shining eyes were glancing at me. Looking at mo-i mid then, "My little traveling compan ion, he suid. Ho wns saluting me! ' Of course, it was my rrico boy! I had met him on tho train traveling to Har riet's. ; Ho turned and walked with mo up the aveirie. I found I was standing straight er. I felt proud at the sidelong glances cast nt me. He is such a- nico boy. Wc mado the usual polite inquiries about each other. Wo were .well, thank yon. Yes, our parents were well. s I said, " You look so happy." r And he. "I am! I am loing to be mar ried." ; He said it all with such pride. "You arc 1 To whom?" I asked. ; "To the loveliest little girl in tht world AnneJones!" "Anne Jones, you don't mean " Yes, jt was the same one. I had so much to say the words stumbled over each other. . ' "But I don't know your name I "the nice boy said. Of course, he didn 'i. "Sara Lunc." , "Sara La'c;',' The boy spoke with surprise. "Then you 'he the girl -who started Anne. You took her to the see retarial school. And it is yon slie speaks of, as encouragine her. You were her splendid example!" "If I could onlv sav with little gasp iu my voice. Now the boy was telling me about it all. . I did not see ajiything but hU vivid fare and shining eyes. , "1 had always known Anno. When I left to go 'out there' she was just the gayest, prettiost girl that I knew. But when 1 came back p month and a half ago, all that -was changed. Anno was working away at hep secretarial school. She wanted to do something to help along in tho war work. Something worth while. - She was a more 'serious Anne. And she said it was all duo to a girl she had mct-a Sara Lane who had been her inspiration!" The boy ended. "I'm going back again. She's com ing with me this time." Again he was seeing visions. "Tou should come, too. They eould use you out thero! " We said good-by. The boy had reach ed her corner. I turned one to look after that tall figure, swinging along wth firm step to her. A warm glow of happiness was sweep ing over mo. 80 I had encouraged Anne Jones. I had made her worth while. And I was her inspiration. That seem ed almost impossible. But oh; how hap py it mado me. That I counted. I had been of some use in these last months. Sometime, I too, may see vUioug as bright as my nice boy's. 1 (Tomorrow A Man Speaks.) 'prolongation (Continued from page one) tomatieally to China at the peace con ference," Williams said.- "I called attention to the fact that under the treaty of 1858 the United States was bound to use its good' of fices in such a case to help China and suggested that a clause be drawn up providing for the return of -the -territory to China. - "I was told to draw it up and to confer with Dr. James Brown Scott of the American delegation.' I did both. Dr. -Scott suggested that the territory and rights Germany- hod iu Shantung bo hold in trust for China by the five great powers. "On . April 22- President Wilson ask ed inc to consult widh the far eastern experts of other powers. 'The president fold me that Great Britain and France were bound to sup port Japan by socre treaties.; . that Lloyd George had said he . was bound only to support the transfer of Ger many's rights! and no mOre.

"The president said he hadn't con sidered the question " from that angle and asked mo to write my proposal. "Two days later the British and French far eastern experts and I join ed in a memorandum which went to President Wilson, Lloyd-Georgo .and Clemenceau, stating: that in our opin ion it would 'be less injurious to China to order the transfer of tho territory to Japan than to have the 1915 treaty carried out. I told the other experts that I-intended to write an independ ent memorandum, declaring that neith er of these things had been done, and the British expert said ho Would do tho same thing. "1 . therefore, sent a memorandum to President Wilson pointing out that ho treaty of 1915 was extorted from China !bv Japan through force. I ask ed President Wilson if ho did not think tho 1915 treaty was contrary to the fourteen points, and lie replied that unfortunately he did not believe the fourteen points covered it. I pointed out that the fourteen points had been broadened in the president's Mount Vernon speech and T believed this did cover the matter. I said that in my opinion his fourteen points ns later elaborated had - been accepted aa the basis." Food is th.e Best Medicine Most of ihe ilb of life are due to wrong living.
