Kennedy Approves, Report.
The above figures are contained in
the report Of the fuel committee to
John l.. Kennedy. coal administrator,
on the fuel condition in Douglas
county, and are for the sale and de-
livery of coal and coke. The commit
tee consisting Of:
David Cole, chairman; w. G. Shri-
yer, secretary; J. B. Blanchard, John
w. Gamble, T. ?. Reynolds, F.. Buck
ingham, J. Hayden, R. NJ. Switzler,
Vaclav Buresh, Morris Levy, Robert

tus, J. {. Robinson, Bryce Crawford,
Walter I. Page.
The report was approved by John
L. Kennedy, federal fuel administra-
tor for Nebraska, and ordered effec-
tive at ] a. m. December 10.
The report, which is signed by all
members of the committee, adds:
Analysis of Prices.
"On the face of the foregoing fig
urcs, comparing the September and
December prices, there is a decrease
in prices on 10 out of 70 kinds OF coal.
In FIVE instances there is no change.
In four instances there is an in
crease in price. Three OF these in
stances are on Iowa and Missouri
coal, on which the president granted
All increase of 95 cents per ton at the
mine, effective in October; as cents
of which was to cover increased min
crs' wages. The other instance is
Rock Springs nut, on which increases
aggregating $l.20 per ton were al
lowed by the president, effective in
Omaha daily bee., 1917-12-19

October; IS cents thereof to cover
miners wage increase.
Consumers should bear in mind
that on all semi-anthracite and bitum-
nous coal listed above advances have
been allowed by the president on
mine prices which became effective
on and after October !, 1917, On all
such coal an advance OF Is cents per
ton was allowed to cover an increase
in miners wages.
Reduce Cost to Stove Users.
We have made one price on all
sizes Of Pennsylvania anthracite. The
larger sizes should be under SIS and
the smaller sizes over SIS. The aver
age price reduces the cost OF the
coal used in base burners, to the con-
sumers most affected by the high
cost OF living.
During the period between October
and this date various prices have
been made to consumers by the sew
eral retail coal dealers in an effort to
comply with the presidents orders.
These prices, being based upon their
average gross margins for 1915. have
differed from each other on a given
kind of coal. The prices recon-
mended in this report are made on an
average fiat basis, SO that all dealers
in the city may charge consumers the
same price for the same kind of coal.
We believe the prices stated to be
reasonable and fair to consumers and
coal dealers alike.
I'VE have considered prices only as
they relate to retail dealers, The
wholesale prices are established by
the president, including transporta-
ton charges and jobbcrs' commission.

Dear Governor Cats:
/ notice from the press reports that
as stated in the head lines, there is
Much Speculation as to who will be
Attorney General" and such reports
further state that there are many
applicants for the position and that
you are finding it difficult to decide
between your friends.
Your conversation with me relative
to this office, of course, is fresh in
your memory, and, to. be consistent,
it is inconceivable to me that there
should be now, so far as you are con-
cerned, any hesitation.
You stated to me that you would
give me the first vacancy on the
Supreme Bench and then you stated
to me also that you informed Mr.. T.
F. West that you would give
him the first vacancy on the Supreme
Bench, provided 1 did not desire it.
During the last days of the last legis-
lature l consented to be attorney gen.
eral. 1t was consent, however. and
not an application. I was not then

lect for appointment to the Supreme
Bench and to the office of attorney
general the best available man so
that the confidence and respect in
which the Supreme Court and the of
held by the people shall not be i'm
paired nor efficiency lessened. The
appointive power has an awful privi
lege and an awful responsibility to
discharge it's constitutional duty to
the people. In the discharge of such
duty it should be left alone for seri-
Gus, conscientious consideration, that
it may rightfully determine which
one of the available men is the best
for the position. Politics may be all
lowed to control with regards to the
legislative and executive branches,
regards to either members of the
bench or the office of attorney gen.

free and pure and above suspicion so
that they may properly perform their
functions as planned by our scheme
and fabric of government. without
which we have no safeguard and no
assurance of the perpetuity of our
