WHERE IT HURTS MOST
TtfIIATKVi.lt may be said of the coal
' ' shortage and whatever anoleries or
explanations may be pre-ented in impos
ing statistic? will net obscure th'1 fact
that multitudes of the poorer people in
this part of the country will have te pay
with a very dreary and unhappy Christ
inas for excesses chargeable against the
unions and mine operators who were in
volved in the cual strike,
A casual survey in tfiis city and Cam
den reveals innumerable small heme3
that are without fuel and without hope
of obtaining much in the near future.
Pneumonia may be a Christmas vbiter
in many of these houses.
Seme of the up-and-at-'em Mayers in
the West have been attempting te edu
cate meter maniacs by leading them en
ceurs of hospitals where injuted or dy'ng
children lie as victims of speeder. .T.'.-e
logic and law have been alike ina le ;uate
te convince these fundamentally i-i -m-trel
of the coal supply of their -"v-al r r
epensibilities, the principle applied te
tame wild drivers 'n Detroit an i il.-e-where
might properly be extended te
them. Operators and union leaders re
sponsible for strikes and shutdown.?
might be marched around for a len'.v at
the patient children who stand in line at
corner theps te buy coal by the b-.cket
when they can get it and for a glance
Inte small houses where ether c'.nl 'r. n
shiver because even pennies aren't avail
able for a few pounds of fual of any sort.
It is only because coal is extremely
scarce that the peer have te buy it by
the bucket and pay, in the end, at the
rate of nearly $30 a ten. Thu3 the high
cost of coal weighs most heavily upon
the people who are least able te bear it.
With them the fuel shortage cuts two
Ways.

tAMBER'lON BARS SPATS
QHEKIFF LAMHERTON has put his
feet down hard en that p.-opesltion of
State Senater-elect Varc that a let of
local officeholders buy spats and some
ether articles of wearing apparel and
parade in Harrisburg in honor cf the
new Governer en inauguration day. He
says that he will discharge any attache
of his office who absents himself en that
occasion. I ,
The Sheriff's ostensible rearms are i t
commendable, but aie t'-.cy h:s real rea
sons? Perhaps he has read the os-ay
en the ted hat by the late Charles Dud
ley Warner. A quiet, retiring woman
succumbed te the charm of a red hat in
a milliner's window and bought it. As
it did net match her usual costume, she
had te get a new gown. She looked in
the mirror and was se pleased with her
self that she decided she must go out te
let the world see hew charming a woman
could be. In the course of time sve was
changed into ene of the gayest butter
flies in town, all en account of the led
hat.
Spats, introduced into the Sheriff's
office, would be demeralising te the feive.
They would inc.itably be follewe 1 iy
white edging", en the vests, by flowers
in the buttonhole and by ether fri'.o'i fri'.e'i
ties. The deputies would then attempt
te live up or down te tl.cir r.-w costume,
and the husky nun would bcome dandies
incapable of functioning as proper and
dignified officers of the law.

INCOME-TAX SENSE
THE last installment of income-tax j
payment l'vr 1921 is due today. The
first payment of the tax en incomes of i
the .current year will net be due until j
March 15. There is no escaping the j
heavy surtaxes of the present law en
last year's incomes.
Secretary Mellen has recemmen le 1 a
radical reduction of these suitax-s, in
the interest et national pros- erity.
There is time for Congress te act befove
the tax en thu jear'd incomes niuat be
paid.
It ought te net, for the surtaxes are
Im'efensible en nny sound economic
theory. They were levied, in the fust
place, in order te mulct the lich for the
benefit of the peer, but they have bsnn
handed en te the people of lesser means
by the men with large incomes. The
effect of the law has been te make th"
men with big incomes tax collectors for
the Government.
But it has had nnother effect also, for
H fcs forced capital te seek investment
In tax-exempt securities of the States
and their subdivisions where under an
.u.V,.
"V.
cquitnble system it would hnve sought
investment in private industry.
Tlie Secretary of the Treasury thinks
this evil could he cured if Congress were
empowered te tax the bend' of the
States and municipalities. Hut the sim
plest way te cure it it te re.'u.e t'.ie
Federal t.xc i' te a reasonable fiRiire.
Thru the c.ipila'i.st-. who object te pav
ing te the Cevcinirrnt from 25 te "")
per cent of their incomes would invest
their surplus in the secuiitie-? of private
corporation and pay the reasonable tax.
The corporations would be able te ex
pand and the resultant increase in busi
ness would yiil! taxes that would mere
than offset the losses resulting from the
abolition of the orfiiatery surtaxes.

(icrmnn gun-makers spent fortunes in

te inciting the French people against

The proper kind of attack upon the
Klan comes tinin the groups for whose
protection it professes te be organized
It is up te the representative men in
the.-e groups te point cut that the pur
pose and the methods of the Klan are
un-Ameiican and subversive of the prin
eipks at the foundation of American
insi!tiitie!is.
Therefore, when representative clergy
m n of the Paptist, Piesbyteiian,
1 irl.rran, MithedL-t and Prctestnnl
Ki'i..eipal fl. inches denounce the Klan,
as they did m this: newspaper yesterday
aftein en, a caivp.iiun of cnlightennienl
has been started which must ultimately
succeed.
The Federal Constitution provides for
the greatest libeity of religious opinion
That liberty must be preserved if we
a iv te escape an era of religious intoler
ance. The right of a man of foreign birth
te become a:i American rtizen is nls
pr.'t cte-d under our laws. This right
bed t be protected, for the development
of the country depended en the recruit
ing of the population already here from
the surplus popu'atiens of the European
countries. We have forced most of the
European C'juntt'c-. te recegnir. the
r.atjralir.atien of their former citizens.
Nev.- it is illigieal an 1 unintelligent for
the c!e?-eet'ant5 of foreigners, as we all
are, te attempt te prisciibs men who
happen te !e in tl ame condition that
our anee ters were when they fuvt came
here.
Many of the members of the races
offensive te the Klan are better Amer
icans than the be t Klansmen. The
Klan -men are net Americans at all, save
1-y the nccilira c f birth, fir they have
fo"getten that for v hic'j merica is dis

Daily Talks With Thinl-hiR 'Philadelphia en Subjects They
Knew Best
J. II. LOUGIIRAN
On Part-Time Commercial Education
EUCCATIO.N and trade work, going .itul
growing hand in liiiuil, Is a combination
representing n development in industrial ed
ucation which ip net fur frnn the idiiil
sought nfter alike by educators ami captains
of industry, nceeidlng te ,1. II. I.euglirun.
Mr. I.eiiglirnn was the lirst person te han
dle successfully the ro-epetative system in
the Plillndelphln-ClieMer district in the
slilpbuilillng trades.
"In these districts, Philadelphia and
Chester," said Mr. I.eiiglirnn, "the intro
duction of the part-time system was, per
hnps, the most interesting single educa
tienal development of the Inst few years.
The Idea was net original in these dis
tricts, us it hnd already been used te a large
extent In Cincinnati and ether places.
Jlenencl.il te All
"Se far as Philadelphia is concerned, the
plan wns (neught uii as a suggestion bv Dr.
Jamisen, of (iirard College, nnd Dr. f'heese
lnan Ilerrick, pieMdent of the same col
lege, and was refeired by them te the
Merchants' Shipbuilding Company, of Ches
ter. As 1 had had eenslderab'e experience
in industrial educational lines. was a--slgnid
te devilen the plan, which, it has
been willingly admitted both by the school
authorities nnd the corporation, has been
MiecCHsful and beneficial te the student, the
school and the corpeuit'on.
"While it is my purpose te discuss the
merits and edvantages nf the ro-epeiathe
MStem, n brief rei Itnl of the methods which
hi ought such benctiiinl results mu.v net be
out of place.
"The main purpose of introducing the
co-operative sjstciu in these districts wns te
train young men in the shipbuilding trades.
Thirty stiidentn were enrolled In the tlr-t
group, and these were divided into two
groups which alternated bi-weekly with
eneh ether, llnch of two students worked
en the tnme Jeb or In the miiip ernft, one
being nt employment while the ether was In
school.
"When the time enme te ninke the shift
se that the hev who had been in the school
went te lb" job nnd the boy en the job went
buck te the school, cndi for his two weeks
period, tin' boy who had been in the hebeid
would spend Sntuid'iy morning with the boy
who bad Ineii nt cmplej incut, in order te
get u line of the weik nnd make the transfer
without in an way umhnniissing or blowing
up the -job in hand.
"The shop work of the student wns in
ehnree of n foreman or lender who nsslgned
the boys te the work. A specinl form wen
supplied te rneh student, upon which bu
wrote a ilallv report when he returned home,
giving a luief deseilptien of the work upon
which be was engaged, his experience and
bis observations n guiding it. This dally
report wns eensldertd very essential te the
jiregie'-s of the studdit. '
"lie also was reiiiii-fd te explain the
terms nnd tin- unions processes of the job
upon which he was eiigagnl. and make brlet
notes of r he information which he gained bv
asking questions This r-rjinrt was then
given te the supervisee in charge. He re
viewed it, ceiiectnl it where necessary and
had it tvpewrltten. Copies of the report
were then sent te the fei email, the student
and the authorities of the school from which
the boy came.
Ills Value in the Corporation
"In addition te this the student also wns
obliged te Mimmnrize lib. work for the period
nt the close of eneh two weeks, which
showed concretely just what hn had accom
plished nnd his value tn the corporation.
"This lepnrt method bad two distinct
advantages one of these wns that the stu
dent paid mere attention te the job in linnd
when he teiilled lie was te pnss u hind of
examination en what he had accomplished
every two weeks, nnd the ether because it
provided a record of his accomplishment nnd
progress in the trade.
"The rate of pay given the ntndentH wns,
set nt tl Irty-three cents nn hour. This re
mained nt the snme figure until the student
lind graduated from the school and entered
the employ of the corporation. He then wns
rnted ns third or second class, according te
tlie record which be hnd made while lincb r
