WHY THIS COAL FAMINEq

This is about the fourth year of real coal famine in
Southern Idaho It is the worst of the whole SERIES too has
really been desperate from business standpoint
Coal could have been contracted for early last fall,
for low price, and apparently IN enexhaustbe quantities
The coal companies the public buildings and enterprises and
the private all had the chance TO get coal te as
much they wanted and at almost their price
Some of them did it; they are not suffering now Some
didn't they either cool or cod or frozen st the var
ious degrees of the coal famine

severity of the winter has demanded coal than be-

little preparations for the winters probably not enough coal

winter weather If the state had invested 100000 5000

it lie between the careless mprovence of the coal
dealers and the private and the providence that

CLEAN JOURNALISM
 URGED BY EDITOR
Major Hemphill Delivers First Lecture Under Bromley
 Foundation at Yale.

% New Haven, April 21.-Major J. c. Hemphill, owner and editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, made a plea for cleaner journalism and clean CT newspapers in an address at Yale University last night in the first lec- ture under the Bromley Foundation. His subject was @'The Public and the Press.'
 'fThe press in these abundant times :" said Major Hemphill, speaking gen. orally, is in the business for the money there is in it. Little or no independence is actually possessed by the journalists who preach independ- ence.
 .tThe Yellow streak runs not less through the press than through the people. The shame of the press Is that it has catered to the worst tend encies of 8 corrupt and malodorous age. Its mission ought to be the ele- vation of the public. Instead, it ad- vertises it's degradation. fairly shrtek- ing against any restrictions upon its liberty. It converts it's liberty into license"
