John L. Weaver, Coal Boss
By EARL GOODWIN.
They Hit the BulEye When They Selected Him. He Deliver
Coal Unless the Mines Produce It Ship It.

The Times congratulates Washington on John L
Weaver coal administrator for the District of Columbia
In the name of the people of Washington The Times asked
for competent and positive fuel administration and the
selection of Mr. Weaver meets every requirement far
membered that Mr. Weaver is undertaking purely
patriotic work; that he receives pay for his admin
Isaton, and will undoubtedly be the object of kicks
protests and impractical suggestions than any in the
National Capital
John L. Weaver has done so many things and accom-
pshed much good for Washington that when his ap
poinment fuel administrator announced people gen.
orally regarded the coal problem for Washington settled
AS far his jurisdiction will extend In addition to the
sterling business reputation Mr. Weaver has made for him
SELF his broad work in the various business oganza
tions and clubs has made him leader There has been
remarkable number of hghbrow appointments to all sorts
of useful and useless commissions and administrations but
the Fuel Administration rang the bell for practical work
when it selected Mr.. Weaver.
But here Is what Mr.. Weaver is up against:
He has situation which is tangled beyond all descrip
on and practically all of the trouble lies outside of the
District Of Columbia As far Mr. Weaver
do very little get coal here if the mines not producing
it. there to haul it. When the coal arrives
within gates he that greedy person squats
upon it and says "This is NINE No shall have any
He that the not robbed because they
have to buy their coal by the tiny buckefu gged home by
tired and little children. He that all of us
from the coal dealer down to the amateur soker who fights
with his furnace all winter gets fair DEAL and he
smooth out many difficult paths and remove many
prejudices
He will not we presume follow the iustrous example
of the Federal Trade Commission and solemny
that there will be coal shortage and that coal
helping the coal men-unless such is the case.
But he cannot bring coal into Washington with snap
of his finger, like magician who produces wonderful live
white rabbit out of fathers silk hat Beyond Mr. Weavers
control will be the great problems Where the coal
carsi Where the mnersi Where is the producer who
wants to ship coal at less than it costs him to dig It'll Where
is the who ACTUALLY KNOWS the answer To the big
problemi
The Times knows full well that John L. Weaver has
his coat off and going at the Washington coal problem
Just has attacked every other municipal and civic job
thrust upon him. However do not blame John if he does
not deliver your coal the minute He only competent
and positive citizen-not a Miracle Man.
The Washington times., 1917-10-18

Nor does this especial son or
daughter generally arrive at this
distinction through any qualities
of eminence." (He is himself a
member of a large family and
spoke with considerable feeling.)
Neither capability nor leader
ship nor sound judgment is req
uisite to its attainment. More
often than not these elements are
lacking. The things required are
only a caustic tongue and a show
of overbearing superiority; for
most people are so ready to sub
nit to dictation that they regard
these as symbols of authority, a
sort of figurative crown and scep-
ter"
/ recalled this cynical outburst,
and especially that part of it
touching on and appertaiping to"
the family, when l ran ACROSS the
following letter in my mail the
other day:
Dear Mrs. Woodrow:
81 am, in general, of gay, ami
mated disposition; yet at times,
when the mood is on me, l can
also be very quiet, and even under
meath all my ightness there is a
sensible vein which my relatives
and intimate friends respect. Still,
by many people, l am considered
only a Joke At least think so,
although / have never heard any
one outside the family say what
they thought of me, except one
woman, who declared that if she
had the blues she wouldn't want
anything better than me to cheer
her up.
81 guess, on the whole, am
more temperamental than prac-
tical, for / am a great lover of
music and am always singing and
dancing around the house.
"My sister is Of a very different
disposition, SO quiet and demure
that, although really three years
younger, she is always considered
older. What she says goes too.
She is very critical and aggressive
toward me and never hesitates to
take me to task or excite laughter
at my expense when there is a
crowd around.
"Now all this has set me to won
dering. / often tell my mother |
must change my nature. But she
replies, Never change your dispo-
The Washington times., 1917-10-18

sition for any one. Be your nat
ural SELF and then she will add
that my disposition is the best part
Of me and that people like me for
it.
"But the trouble with this ad-
vice is that l can't be sure just
which is my real self-the jolly,
vivacious character which l usually.
present, or the more sober, sedate
one ! occasionally assume. ! have
heard it said that unless girl is
naturally vivacious it i'll becomes
her to attempt being so, and /
often wonder if that is the case
with me.
Sometimes / try to be very
quiet and restrained when there
are people around, but it always
proves failure, and the first thing
/ know l am back to my chatter
and nonsense. So that leads me to
believe that my silly side is the
natural one. / realize, too, that l
can always entertain a crowd, and
that when / tell joke have the
knack of making every one laugh,
whereas the same thing told by
my sister would merely sound un-
interesting and commonplace.
"Yet / am very sensitive, and
when my sister makes remarks
about me in front of company l
always feel ridiculous. Would my
friends think better of me if were
more sedate, do you suppose?
Sometimes l get very angry
when my sister sees fit to criticise
me, and a quick retort is on the
tip of my tongue. Am l wise in
not answering her? She has a
very dictatorial manner, and
makes herself felt, as it were, let
ting every one know that she has
a good position and asserting her
personality to great extent,
whereas l do not care continually
to parade my talents and there
fore am overshadowed by her, al
though / know that / am smarter
than she is in a great many things
and always was even at school. /
feel, though, that by reason of her
constant ridicule of me most Peo-
pie regard me as an ignoramus.
Sometimes / am almost ready
to leave home on account of this
state of affairs, as no matter what
| say or do / am never right.
What you'd you advise me to do
in this situation? Is a simple
