No man can Imagine how other peo. pie are thinking. He can know only by what is going on In his own head; and If that head is not con¬ nected by every thread of suggestion with the heads of people about him, he cannot think as they think.

"This conclusion is bused on the fact that none of the companies : has suffered an increase in the cost of production equal to the in- ] crease in the selling price over and above the recent advance in ! wages.'' COMPANIES MADE BIG PROFITS Secretary Nagel says that the increase in the price of coal since 1901, when the new wage scale went into effect, has averaged 26 per cent a ton. The average increase in the prices of sizes of coal pre- psn'K'.d for doraestic consumption amounted to 31.23 cents per ton and the average increase on pea coal and the smaller sizes was 16.14c per ton. The operators profited by suspending their 40 and 50 cents a ton discounts in April and May, 1912, and in the higher prices which prevailed later. Through these sources the operators received $13,- 450,000 more than they would have received for the same tonnage at previous prices. Of this about $10,000,000 was derived from the in- creiisod prices and about SLi,500,000 from the suspension of discounts. WHAT THE MINERS GOT.

(Telegraph to Indopontlent.)
Princeton, Jlarch 1,—"I have never been Inside the White House and shall feel very strange when I get Inside. I thin!- of this little house here; think how muoh more pleasant it is to me and how miuh pleasanter are the neghbors here." s;ud President-elect Wilson tonight addressing about 3,000 of his Princeton neighbors, towns¬ folk and students. There was a pa¬ thetic note in his words an.l a touch of sadness in his tones. The Presi¬ dent-elect was plainly affected by the tribute paid to hini by hi.s . home town.
He said he felt more at home in his Princeton cottage than he ever could feel in the White House. How- j ever, he added, the task that lies before him will he the more agree- , sble, "because I am trying to r^'-pres- j ent those who have so graciousl.v trusted me." ;

The band was playing: '"Hail i to the Chief." Each marcher car- | ried a Japanese lantern. The pro- i cession was picturesque. Rcfore the i procession came into view, several > hundred persons had t.aken a posi- | tion on the lawn. They were held , back by boy scouts, who held long sticks in a semi-cirrle.
