GARFIELD UNDER FIRING LINE

Cold weather has overtaken the East-n some places freezing weather-and the people have very scant sup ply of coal Many cities have practically none at a Of course somebody is to blame and newspaper batteries have been turned loose on Dr.. F y A. Garfield the fuel administrator. So fair-mnded paper as the Kansas City Star and so loyal supporter of the government de- mands his resignation.
 Last summer. when people normally should have laid in their winters supply of coal the administration advised them to hold off because prices would be lower Early in September Dr. Garfield gave out a statement which was widely published saying:
 Don't stock up on the present high-prced coal more than you actually need The upward trend of prices that always comes with war and which has been in progress and still is in progress in this country in coal up to the present time will be stopped will be tremendous Iy disappointed if the measures we put into effect October do not bring positive reduction from present prices of coal in practically every American city.
 The immediate and direct effect was that the people put off buying coal in the expectation of better prices Dr. Garfield reenforced his statement by another Sep tember3O that the government had taken convete con-
 o of the fuel situation mitng the profits of the retail coal and coke dealers throughout the country basis that is expected bring about reduction in prices to the consumer" The statement added: "The consumer in any community should be able to get coal of any descin tion at approximately the price he paidn 1915"
 The present situation proves that Dr. Garfield lacking in his information and judgment He undertook to advise the American people and they suffer ing for following his advice As the Star says he has been an excellent college president but he misft fuel ad minstrator That office needs of wide business experience and great executive capacity Dr. Garfield does not happen to have those qualifications.

second Sunday, sth inst, which is one
of Rev. Geo. Fox's regular appoint
ments for his Waterproof charge, but
by his request his congregation there
has kindly agreed to give st. Joseph
the second Sunday, that we may be
able TO enjoy Easter services at the
Union Church, a treat we have not
had in many years, while Waterproof

pared for the occasion. Invitation to
attend these services is extended to
the entire public, irrespective of creed.
