/ The accumulated stock, not in the
production of coal. This is very
| different situation from that during
the great coal strike of a few years

ordinarily the public does not
have to depend to the extent that it
has to this year on the current pro-
duetion of the mines for it's sup
ply of coal. There is usually a re-
serve stock at hand When the
consumers lay in winters supply
all at once they merely divide up
into little heaps in their cellars the
big heaps that exist at the mines
and the various places for the stor-
age of coal. That big reserve stock
doesn't exist this year, and the pub

serve stock in its individual cellars,

the supply is produced, in quanti-
ties sufficient to satisfy current
needs. If every one would put in
coal only as he needed it no one
would suffer from the shortage and
there would be no famine" and no
famine" prices. And every one
might feel sure that when his small
stock ran out it would be possible
to replenish it. Coal is being con-
stantly mined and brought to the
city. There is no danger of a seri-
Gus labor disturbance to eurtail pro-
duction. That is guarded against
by the agreement between miners
and operators which was reached
at the end of last springs strike
Such shortage of cars as exists re-
suits from the imperfect machinery
for getting cars back to the lines
which own them when in the trans
porting of freight they have passed
ever to other railroad lines This
subject is receiving the attention of
the railroads and of the public regu-
lative authorities and il is likely
that there will be an improvement.
The situation calls for the exer-
else of common sense and self-re-
straint. If the public will recognize
that conditions this year are differ
ent from what they usually are and
adjust it's practices to the difference
no one will suffer serious inconveni-
ence. There is nothing to be alarmed
about.

Soothing the Coal Consumer.

A very soothing editorial, credited
to the New York Tribune. is being
circulated by the Parker & Bridge
publicity bureau, New York city. The
inspiration is undoubtedly the coal
operators in their attempt to shunt
the responsibility for present high
prices and Inconvenience upon the re-
tailers. We are assured by the
Tribune that mo one will suffer seri-
Gus inconvenience" and that there is
nothing to be alarmed about"
Indeed. how thankful we ought to
be to the coal trust for this assur-
ance. 1t is so gratifying to realize
that il is no serious inconvenience to
pay from IS to s11 ton for coal
where we should pay only $3.50 or
$3.50 at the most. OF course it is
generally understood that the coal
trust is not to blame for combines
and cutthroat prices among local
dealers of certain city--like Lewis
Ton, for instaneeiyet through this
all-powerful coal monopoly. and
through it only, lies relief for COM
munities now at the mercy of the
greed of a gang Of trade cutthroats.

ments. deception and downright

combine would make examples of
those regular dealers who pirate the
public, as 1t makes examples of spas
modic attempts by individuals OF
groups laboring to save few dollars
for themselves and neighbors by pur-
chasing few car lots of other thar
their regular local dealers. it need no
be in the present apologize stage.
The coal trust could instantly stoI

Gus sections, if it so desired. 1t il

penver's Chief Attraction?


The liquor interests are sending out
a printed slip under a Denver, Colo,
date line, reading:
zone of the most effective arguments
against statewide prohibition i'm Colo
RADIO, which was submitted to the popu-
lar vote and defeated at the last gem
eral election. Nov 5, 1912. was the slogan
of the Colorado Business Mems Home
Rule League; who ever heard of con-
vention being held in prohibition Kan
sas2n The Denver newspapers carried
full page advertisements. giving q list
of the national and state conventions
held recently in Denver. 1t was APP
parent that if the state Went dry even
trade and professional conventions would
seek meeting places elsewhere. A ma
1ional convention is an unheard of thing
in Kansas"
If this isn't Convincing logic against
prohibition. wf5At could you expect? 1t
is Illuminating too. We should think
men who are aelegates to conventions
and men who arrange for conventions
would be proud of this evidence" fur
nished by the booze makers and a
.Home Rule League" that no city that
does not have all kinds of booze can
get a big convention.
This Home Rule League" suggests
the same sentiments that characterized
and animated notorious booze organ
ization in Maine not so many moons
age-that Local Self Government
League" And, according to the doc
trine of the Maine league a state could
not be run without booze.
As to WHO ever heard of a conven
ton in Kansas we are wondering
who ever heard of Kansas wanting to
disgrace her communities with lot
of boozers for the sake of having a
convention
1t seems to US that, taking the
booze trust literature at its face value,
Kansas has the best of it.
Again, we are glad to know what
Denver's chief attraction is, in the con-
ventions Of her business men, And
we wonder if other men and women
not in business will be proud of the
distinction which her business men
and the rum makers claim.
