There'*, a plan to simplify tha coal
problem. Railroads won't like It-
no more coal to carry. Middlemen
will detest It.
The Idea Is change the coal Into
electric current at the mine.
Electricity carries itself over the
wirea. wltb no bumping of freight
care, no flat wheels, no loading and
unloading. Instead of buying coal,
changing it Into power and heat five
hundred or a thousand miles from the
mine, skilled labor at tbe mines would
change coal into electricity to be used
for beat, light, power, wherever wanted.   That will come in time.
it ought to come now.
Thanks to Mr. Eastman, of Rochester, and tbe wide, wide world, this
country sees efficient and thorough
development of musical talent.
To help a nation ln music is to
help It intellectually. Music and Intellect are sisters. Music arouses tho
brain, refreshes and stimulates It, aa
nothing elae can do. Music la the only
stimulant that haa no "next day" of
let down and reaction-
Mr. Eastman's school of music in
tbe University of Rochester brings
to tha city and to tha students of
music the bast musicians of tba world,
and provides musical genius with a
magnificent setting In a beautiful opera bouse, given to the city by Mr. Eastman and paying financial profit to no
one.

The Oovernment has sold tha heart
of Muscle Shoals plant to a corporation, and that ends Henry Ford's attempt, to get the great water power.
It ends also tbe possibility of his carrying out the promise to give the farmers cheap fertiliser and It gives

sseaslon of a very good complaint—if
they ever want to use It In politics.

Te following Is un extract from the
Monthly Business Review published
by the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland.
Just what effect the recent Japanese disaster wlll hnve on American
business Is a questloti which bas been
uppermost In the minds of many of
us during the past few weeks. Japan
has started  to rebuild.    The ashes of
the   greut   llres   which   followed   the
I
quakes   hud   scarcely   cooled    before .
plans were under way to bring a new
and  more up-to-date Japan out of the !
ruins:   a   Japan   fore  In   keeping  with
IhS  progressive   spirit   of  her  people. '
Such  a comeback  requires  pluck  und |
courage  und   the   .lupunese  are  showing  that   they  have these qualities.
While the loss oT life and  property j
was staggering, suffering was undoubtedly   minimized   hy   th   prompt   uctlon
Of relife agencies.
The   outside   world   necessarily   has i
been   viewing   the   situation   through'
smoked glass but these are beginning
to cleer.    Wild  rumors  are  being re-
placod by conservative estimates.
The Government according to recent advices from Tokio, la taking
steps to provide the funds necessary
for a great reconstruction campaign
through local and foreign loans.
While Insurance compaines and their
underwriters have, of course, suffered
losses. Japan's financial syatem as s
whole remains firm and It is quite
generally conceded that her credit Is
unimpaired.
Reconstruction Is necessary as a result of this disaster. The United
Stutes hus many of the things Japan
needs. Just how much of the calamity-
made demand will come this way is
still a problem. There will of course
he a limited Immediate demand for
materials like steel, nails, wire, pipe,
und rooting to house the multitudes
thut huve suddenly been left without
protection from the elements ut a seuson ot the year when colder weather
is on the wuy. The permanent replacement of properties destroyed,
however, will be done largely upon
credit und the buyers of materials
will naturally look for the market that
cun give them what they want.
Business over here continues on a
sound basis.
Aa the basis for aound business Is
the purchasing power of the people
and as the purchasing power Is produced by a condition of general employment, the following records which
have been established in Industry during the lust few months, as cited by
Julius H. Barnes, President of the!
Chamber of Commerce of the United ■
States, furnish several good reasons
for this prucMcully unilistruhed business routine:
1.    Lurgest pig iron  prodcutlon.
Largest cotton consumption.
Largest  steel  ingot  production.
Lurgest crude oil production.
Lurgest   automobile   ui*l   truck
production.
G.    Lurgest residential construction.
7. Largest production of locomotives.
8. Lurgest volume of mail order
sales.
9. Largest volume of retail sales.
10.    Largest  volume of railroad  car
loadings.
To thla we might add that uccordlng to the September crop forecasts
of the Department ot Agriculture, the
com crop this yeur wlll be 185,074,000
bushels above 1922 estimate; the oats
crop will be 110.251,000 bushels hglh-
er; and there wlll be 1,026.000 more
bales of cotton. The estimate of the
wheat crop shows a decline being
placed at about 72,800,000 bushels less
than last year.
Back of all thla Is the sound financial condition of the country.
After ull, the successful development of modem industry and commerce ia possible only when ull the
fundamental factors ln the situation
perform their respective parts In the
work of the whole. It is obvious tbat
no matter whut the consumer's demand for goods may be, If through
lack of transportation facilities tbe
goods cannot be delivered to him, or
