Justice Milton A. Shumway. whose
funeral takes place today, “as .
nr'uch respected lmvyvr and a man of
large influence. especially in his part
of the State. He was appointed iudge
of the Superior Court three times:
then Governor Holcomb gave him
the position of Justice of the Su-
pflme Court which he had to vacate
when he became seventy years old.
He was a quiet man. learned in law
Ind naturally wise. an ornament to
his profession. After he went on
the bench he left politics: up to that
time he was a succesful and useful
legislator and public official. He had
passed the traditional limit of seven-
ty years. but. as in the case of var-
ious other Judges. who had been re-
tired on account of the age limit.
his subsequent vigor of mind and
body demonstrated the now general-
ly recognized fact that our law be-
long: to an earlier .period. and does
not fit in with this century. He died
Iuddenly. which is the way most
people wish to dll’. and lcths an
honored name behind him.

NE“? YORK, Oct. :3.—Some of
the worst actors connected with the
theatrical business are not actors at
all. rightly speaking. There is. for
instance. a firm of musical play
producers who somehow got an in-
terest in a good play. They were
as ill at case as a cat might be

sion of enough money to finance a

They are to revive "Cyrano do
Bergerac" in New York next week.
Walter Eainpden will stage the pro-
duction. and he will act the role
that Richard Mansfield created and
later abandoned in disgust when
some unknown person out in
Chicago sued Edmond Roatand. the
author. claiming lnfringment. Ro-
stnnd ignored the suit and the un.
known secured a. judgement. Mena-
flcld, indignant refused to pay
royalty to any person save Remand.
and rather than be forced to do so
he abandoned his engagement.
Margaret Anglia was with Mr.
Mansfield at this time. and it was
she who created the role of Roxana.
one of the most interesting
characters in stage roles. Carroll
McComas has fallen heir to this
role with Mr. Hampden. and in this
she will be. seen in a part entlrc~
ly unlike that of the hoydenish
cabin boy in “The Jolly Roger"
which is thus forced to close be-
cause Mr. Hampden can find no
other theater for it.
"Cyrano do Bergerac" has been
stage history tor quarter of a. cen-
tury, and while other attempts
have been made to revive it. this
will be the only revival worthy of
the name.

Profltccrlng In the Goal Trade
Wholesalers in the coal industry
are accused of gross pronteerlng by
the United States Coal thmmision.
.ivhich recommends to the President
land Congresa um the Federal Gov-
ernment be empowered to regulate
interstate coal distribution. At the
some time the commission gives
coal retailers what is virtually a
clean bill of health.
While retailers of coal. in spite of
increasing casts. have been satisfied
_with less than the pro-war rate of
profit. the wholesalers have more
than doubled their per ton profits at
the expense of the public. -Thls is
profltcering on a. grand scale by the
least necessary of the factors in the
coal trade and should be met by
every means at. the Government's
command.
Coal miners are worthy of fair
wages. Capital used in coal mining
is entitled to reasonable reward.
Owners of coal land must be paid
royalties. Railroads carrying coal
from mines to markets earn their
part. of the nation's coal bill. The
retailer unloads, stores and delivers
coal, and it is good to learn from
the Coal Commission that these
services are now being performed
for less return than in other times.
All these charges are inescapable
and most of them are legitimate.
But other. less defensible items
creep into the coal bill. Cool for do—
mestic use maybe bought and sold
several times on its way from the
mine tipple to the retailer's coal
pockets. Cases have been found
where the some coal has been sold
four times. with profits pyramided
each limo and the operations cam—
ouflaged by means of hidden mar-
gins taken by dummy concerns.
In coal as in other lines of trade
middlemen are often of real service.
When a. wholesaler buys a. mine's
entire output and markets it that
service is worth while . But many
coal wholesalers perform no sex-4
vice at all cgmmensurate with the
commissions they exact. Seldom
do they touch the coal upon which
they take profits. They handle it on
their books but not elsewhere. There
are too many non-producers in the
coal trade and they charge too high
for the little they do.
In coal there is a real pull and
haul between producera and con~
comers. Each wants at times the
protection of the Government and"
each has rights the Government is
bound to respect. But the Govern-
ment owes nothing to any middlev:
men who profits from the coal trade“
without rendering adequate service.
in return. The more of them that
can be eliminated by Government
regulation the better for the peo-
ple. and“ what is better. for the peo-
ple is better for the country. '
