The facts regarding the coal short
age at local points in North Dakota
and some districts of>adjacent states
are now pretty well known. II is not
due to failure OF the general coal sup
ply from the mines, which was ac-
cumulated during the summer in large
quantities at the usual shipping points
on the lakes. Nor during the summer
and fall was there lack of cars for
carrying the coal in abundance 70 the
local distributing points.
The important fact is now clearly
brought out that during the very pc
riod when supplies ought to have been
laid in the coal companies. their agents
or jobbers at the lake depots refused
to supply directly consumers, reQuir-
ing them TO order through the local
dealers. who proerastinated because in
the trade now cash has practically to
go with order. Thus local dealers or
ders did not go in until after the roads
were flooded with demands for cars
for moving grain. that section being a
distinctively grain region, which is a
higher revenue freight than coal and
naturally preferred in it's season by
the roads, even If the farmers and
shippers had not been eismorous for
grain cars.
In spite of these concurrent circum-
stances no grave peril of suffering
would probably have occurred II the
winter season had been normal. But

The vote in the senate on the bill limiting
the hours Of railroad employees showed
that even the enthusiastic advocates Of
states rights, as imperiled by this bill, did
not venture to insist on rating among
these rights that of Withholding proper
protection to life and person OF the travel
ing community. Much has been said Of
the difficulty of wholly controlling the
human agency in the working operation of
railroads, but when human agency is put
beyond its own control by the exhaustion
of nature something is bound to happen.

weeks the most dificult for railroad
operations in decades.
II further appears that while In
some localities there has been a real
emergency, many OF the newspaper re-
ports have been exaggerated and SEN
sational. and that so far not many
cases of extensive suffering have oc-
Cured. whatever fears may have been

Fraklin Bell, promoted. is one which meets
with the heartlest appreciation in and out
of the service. Colonel Godfrey has a fine
record and deserves this recognition in the
last year of his active career as an army

was the senior colonel of the line and by
virtue of that circumstance, together with
his most creditable record. was entitled to
be appointed a brigadier general The in

an event significant In executive action

that the appointment is an indication of

Roosevelt will adhere to policy which
avoids the violence of selecting juniors for
high places he will contribute much to a

the damage he has wrought by arrant
favoritism.

be used in experiments which are con-
templated next summer with that balloon,
as well as with new free" balloon which

The American balloon Is the largest Of
Its kind. having a capacity OF 1900 cubic
feet and capable OF carrying a weight OF
i.5o0 pounds besides the basket and it's own
weight. The balloon cost t1150. Plans are
being developed for some new generators
and II is proposed to conduct along with

production OF compressed air and its trans
portation in the field. II is along the line
OF the foreign experiments results of which
will be awaited Of by the army signal Of
ficers in the hope of developing an efficient
system OF military ballooning in this coun-
try. AS 80 often happens in other lines of
experimental activity. the signal corps Of
ficers are hempered by lack OF funds TO be
used for mere experimentation. 1t Is hard
TO convince congress that money can be
probably used in the way of tests, and as
no general fund exists from which investi-
cations may be conducted the development
is correspondingly restricted.
