they must unload quickly. But that it was too late. Everyone tried to unload at once. It was impossible to consume such quantities of potatoes. The bottom dropped out of pricesquantities were sold to starch factories for twenty-five and thirty cents per barrel--not bushel--and thousands of bushels spoiled or were deliberately thrown away.

Calling attention also to the fact that the crop of last fall was 000 bushels, the greatest ever known, the bulletin declares that, with the wheat now on hand scarcely equal to the nation's needs, the potato bin ought to be dug into more deeply, and it denounces as unpatriotic and unwise the holding of the crop out of the market--unpatriotic because it shows greed and a desire to force the cost of living still higher, "grinding the face of the poor" as Holy Writ expresses it; unwise because the experienc of 1914 will be repeated unless hoarding is stopped. We can't send our big potato crop to Europe. If we don't eat it here at home this winter and next spring it will be wasted wasted at a time when the war for the world's liberty will be won by the side that can maintain longest an adequate food supply. About the middle of next June a new potato crop will come in. If the potatoes now on hand have not been intelligently marketed and gradually consumed before that time it is probable that the holders will all try to unload at the same time.

In that event the market will be glutted, there will be more potatoes offered than can possibly be consumed, and quantities will be absolutely wasted. And the effect will not stop there. The producer will be indisposed to plant another large potato acreage after such an experience, and we may' go into the winter of 1918 with a short potato supply-and at that time the urgency of food for the fighting forces in Europe, the American armies and the armies of the Allies, will be much greater than it is now. With all earnestness let it be said that the man who professes that his conscience is opposed to.war, while at the same time it is not opposed to "grinding the face of the poor," cannot be considered one of those to whom are directed the great Master's words: "Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of these, my little ones, ye have done it unto me." Religion and greed can't mix without one neutralizing the other. Points Pertaining to Pastors.

Six Cents Instead of Five. The Ephrata and Lebanon Traction Co. wants to raise five-cent fares to six cents and increase also the price of strip tickets and monthly books. Not Like Lancaster Prices. At the last "combination" public sale at Lititz potatoes went at 55 cents to $1.05 per bushel; chickens brought from 35 to 90 cents each.

Send in the names to THE INQUIRER WHO GOT THE COAL? A question that has not been clear and fully answered, yet should long ago have been so clearly and so twly answered "that the wayfaring though a fool, need not err" in man, comprehending it. is the one that nearly everyone has been asking and ic still asking--What becomes of the coal that is turned out of our mines, seeing that the production is said to be as great as ever, and at the same time it is almost impossible to get any? This question is all the harder to answer by the average man when one reads that the production of 1917 was not only "as great as ever" but greater than ever; for this state's production of coal in 1917 reached the unprecedented total of 267,735,001 net tons, and if it had not been for abnormal conditions due to the war would have gone to nearly 300,000,000 tons, according to a summary of reports of the production by districts issued on Saturday by Frank Hall, deputy chief of the state Department -of Mines. Mr.

Hall says the production of anthracite and bituminous coal and coke is above all previous records. He notes that in 1860 the production of anthracite was 8,000,000 tons, and then gives this summary, based on reports which were made to the department: "The output of the coal mines of Pennsylvania in 1917 is estimated at 267,735,001 net tons, of which 770 tons were of anthracite and 209231 tons of bituminous. The production of coke reached a total of more than 26,000,000 tons. year is without parallel in the entire history of the coal-mining industry, not only on account of the unprecedented output of coal and coke, but also on account of the ditions more or less chaotic that prevailed, due to war demands and restrictions. These conditions were so abnormal and impelling in their character a as to make it impossible for the eperators to cope with them with entire success.

New conditions are always difficult to deal. with and when they come as a result of an imperative demand from which there can be no exemption they place a strain upon even the greatest resourcefulness and highest efficiency. "In spite, however, of the confusion that existed in all the mining centers and the drawbacks of car shortage and labor troubles, the coal and coke production exceeded by many millions of tons the output of any previous year." Such being the case, why can't Mr. Common People get coal when he needs it? There is a good reason, no doubt; but what is it, and why doesn't Uncle Sam furnish it? For Uncle Sam is the man that knows. WARNING TO FARMERS.

In 1914, says a bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture, the potato yield in this country was 121.000 bushels, at that time the secand largest crop ever known in America; but 32.615,000 bushels less than the present crop. In the winter of 1914 that crop moved into consumption very slowly--just as the crop is doing now. Much of it was held in storage on farms or in until in the early spring of 1915 those who were holding suddenly realized that a new crop was coming on and A FRIENDLY WARNING The Country Honors the President But There Is a Rising Feeling That He Is Too Self Confident by Far. The marked stubbornness of Presi- dent Wilson in sticking to officials 'in whom the country has lost confidence because of their inefficiency, and his almost angry contention with Congress in opposing (and threatening to veto) a bill to establish a war council of three or five- -though Mr. Wilson is to have the naming of its members--leads the Public Ledger, one of his warm supporters in the main, to publish this striking editorial of advice, caution and friendly warning: By his denunciation of Senator Chamberlain for criticising the warmaking activities of the government, by nis strenuous opposition to legislation designed to render these more emcient, the President has taken upon himself a heavy responsibility.

He assumes, in the first place, that those who do not agree with him are inspired by ulterior motives. Thus he accuses a member of his own party who has given loyal and effective support to measures he himself has urged, of being moved by antagonism to the administration rather than by zeal for reform. He complains of the congressional investigations because they "drew indispensable officials of the department constantly from their work," and that nothing helpful can come out of them. He defends the Secretary of War without reserve, and calls him one of the ablest public officials he has ever known. Whether he is right or wrong in this opinion does not for the moment matter.

The point is that he takes a subborn attitude of confidence in himself and his advisers which only results can justify. He holds that the mistakes have been insignificant, that they will not be repeated, and that, if Congress removes "the few statutory obstacles," measures which have been "thoughtfully and maturely perfected," by implication better measures than any which Congress is likely to propose, can be put into operation. In other words he meets all objections by asking for another blank cheque to fill in as he chooses, one item in it being authority, to fix prices. This is practically an appeal to the public for continued confidence in the face of every failure. The President would hardly deny that he has had generous support so far.

As Senator Lodge said in his vigorous reply to Senator Stone, there has been no partisanship since war was declared. The Republicans in both houses have voted for all the measures necessary for the war, even when members of the President's own party voted a- gainst them. They have asked for nothing, they have left the President united hampered, they have given him fullauthority, little as they liked some of his acts and appointments. He now takes the position that he and those responsible to him have used this authority to the best advantage. He resents the suggestion that a Director Munitions would speed the operations of the Ordnance Bureau or that War Cabinet would increase military effectiveness.

He may be right; but a majority, probably, of the Senate, many members of the House and considerable portion, at least, of the public are beginning to think that may not be right. It is an implied condition in the granting of extraordinary powers that they shall effect what they are intended to effect. No one questions the President's abilitystil less his intentions. But do the facts justify the assumption that he can carry on this war unaided? Has men about him, men to whom he necessity must delegate much of his authority, competent to bear the burden put upon them? Are there othmen, needed at such a time, whom will not utilize? Senator Chamberlain and many of his colleagues plainbelieve the answer to these questions must be in the negative. Does the public agree with them? The fate the measures the President opposes dpends ultimately upon the public.

All other aspects of the situation are subsidiary to this. Remote constitutional arguments go wide of the mark. The President has great powers in time of peace. He has greater powers in time of war. But in both cases they rest upon the same basis.

In neither case does Congress abdicate its legislative functions. The fact that the President has repeatedly gone to Congress for legislation shows this. But what Congress has the authority to give it also has the authority to take away. It could, for example, repeal the act under which the Fuel Administrator has recently exercised so outocratic a power. Nor would this impair in the least the of the President as commander-in-chief of the army and navy -unless, indeed, it is assumed that war military authority is to supersede entirely civilian authority.

A War Cabinet would no more usurp power than the present Cabinetextra-legal body--usurps it now. The members would be appointed by the President with "the advice and consent" of the Senate. They could issue no orders except with his approval. Mr. Wilson would still be commander-in-chief and President.

An interpretation of the Constitution which would make such a body unconstitutional would make the President a dictator. The purpose of both parties to this unfortunate dispute is to win the war in the speediest and most effective way. The President should be the last man to seem to cast reflections upon those who feel that he has not yet discovered this way and who are anxious to aid him in the quest. He cannot expect to be immune from criticism, to escape responsibility for his stewardship. He has had the confidence of the nation to a remarkable degree, nor has he yet lost it.

But it would be idle to deny that there is growing up a restless feeling of dissatisfaction which he cannot ignore. Upon the present extent of that there is no need to speculate. The Senate will have its way if the feeling is widespread. The nation will have its way in the end, in any case. And the President cannot stay the course of events by mere resistance.

FLAMES TOOK HOUSE. Tihr Fire Loss Sustained by David Jackson in a Year. On January 13th of last year David Jackson's feed and saw mill in Bart was destroyed by fire; on April 23d his barn was reduced to ashes. Last Saturday afternoon the tenant house on his farm near Bartville suffered the same fate. Ira Thompson and family resided in the house, Mr.

Thompson and son working away from home and Mrs. Thompson being at the store at the time. Joseph Baughman, a neighbor, was driving past the house. He broke in the door and rescued the two children who were left there, otherwise they might have been burned to death. HOME FROM LIBERIA.

A Marietta Man, Absent Nine Years, Is Back at Home. Having crossed the war zone three times and twice having been on ships damaged by torpedoes, Rev. Harvey G. Knight, a colored missionary who has since 1908 been laboring i in Liberia, is visiting his parents at Marietta, accompanied by his wife and by his three children born in Africa.

More than 7000 Lancaster Countv dogs have up to date been licenced DRYS WANT TO FIGHT Roosevelt and Bryan Will Be Asked to Lead in the Effort to Bring About War Prohibition and Amendment Adoption. The adoption of the constitutional amendment that aims at killing the booze traffic in the United States was followed on Wednesday by action at Pittsburg, when a convention representing all the anti-rum organizations agreed to organize the National Dry Federation. Further action will be taken at a meeting to be held at Washington today. Both William J.

Bryan and Theo dore Roosevelt were suggested as possible leaders in the battle for war prohibition and the ratification by the states of the Prohibition amendment. Forces aligned for the battle embrace leaders in Catholic and Protestant Prohibition movements and the intercollegiate temperance activities. A "100-day drive" is planned while Congress is in session. The temperance forces will fire their guns in legislative warfare and 5,000 telegrams will be sent each night to the senators and representaives, "giving each an electric treatment for their legislative spines," it was stated by the Rev. Dr.

W. F. Crafts of the National Reform Bureau. It was announced by Virgil G. Hinshaw, national chairman for the Prohibition party, that this campaign of 100 days would cost about $500,000 and that a conservative estimate for winning the states over would cost in the employment of speakers and other workers with the advertising, about $1,000,000 a year, until the battle is won.

Optimism prevailed in the sessions, and the committees did not "rock the new baby too long," but made arrangements to take it walking, right off. Besides the two leaders mentioned J. Frank Hanly, former governor of Indiana, spoke, and he was appointed one of the committee on organization with Rev. Dr. Charles Scanlon, Mr.

Hinshaw and Clinton N. Howard. Notable was the presence of the Rev. George Zurcher, pastor of St. Vincent's Catholic church of North Evans, N.

Y. He is known as "The Father Mathew of America," and believes that it total abstinence is good for the individual prohibition is good for the nation. Father Zurcher is the organizer of the Catholic Prohibition League and is editor of "The Catholic Prohibitionist." He was born in Alsace, in the wine district of France. Every large Protestant sect in America will join with the Catholic workers for prohibition, augmented by the many thousand youths from the intercollegiate temperance forces, making a formidable army to face the cohorts of alcohol, leaders said yesterday.
