AS shown by new coal area map
of the United States geological survey
there are about $4,000 square miles
of what may be termed the more
easily mined coal fields, with an esli-
mated content available for future use
of nearly 0,0O0.0OO.O00 tons. With
crease of coal production that has held
for the past fifty years, the supply
of easily available coal will, accord
ing to Director Smith of the geological
survey, be exhausted before the middle
OF the next century. Long before the
point of exhaustion is reached the
cost will have become, to most people.

nearly as strong as we know how.
An acquaintance of many years with

probably would not shine greatly when
the occasion called for oratorical py-
rotechnics, but he would be Johnny
on the spot when II came to hard
work and lots of 1t, and that. after
all, Is where the usefulness of a
congressman TO his state is tested.
To his efforts is due the splendid vic
tory which the party won two years
ago. To his efforts is due the mag
nificent organization which has been
effected and by which the party is
more thoroughly united and in most
effective fighting shape than ever be
fore. In fact the only objection TO
his candidacy is the fact that his elec
tion would deprive the party of the
best chairman 1t has ever had. But
he has doubly earned any office to
which he might aspire and II he would
accept the nomination for congress-
man-at-large. he ought TO have the en-.
thuiastic support of every county In

others. but The average over long pc
riods probably remains about the
