A Short Visit At Havs

Last Monday afternoon II was the
good fortune of the Record man, in
company with Leu Banker. H. II.
LANG, J. W Morphy, Chas- ". Shat
fer and John c. Banker, in LOUIS big
Cadillac to make 3 flying trip TO HAYS,
This was our first visit TO this his
toric, wide-awalse, ambitious city in
twenty years. We found a wonderful
change had taken place and that as 2
matter of fact, the enthusiasm OF
Hays citizens in their claims for pro
gress had been but slightly oYerdrawn
and there IS q bare possibility that
the city may reach the magnitude
now claimed for it IN the distant fu-
ture- Anyway 1t is q lively town and
a drive over a portion of it discovered
many new buildings being erected
and improvements were taking place
II so happened that q high class
ball game had been staged for that
afternoon so that our attention was
somewhat diverted from the beauties
OF the city to the Normal School
grounds where the game was being
played II was a pleasure to Us to
meet with old time friends we knew
years ago, among them being H. L.
Pestana, who kindly relieved us of the
burden of q republican nomination
for congress in this district in 1892,
for which we have always felt we
owed him a debt of gratitude. The
Fort Hays Normal has certainly been
a wonderful help TO Hays and no
doubt viii continue doing so. The
town Is beautifully located, its only
ff1- carr-4. r,szl- H,c-, =
its streets. The newspapers, the News
and Free Press, are among the best
IN the state and both are receiving
a patronage that indicates the lively
spirit of the city.
The wheat prOpects are very poor
indeed along the road between here
md Hays, IN fact there are but few

Coal Administration on Trial

TIE next thirty days will test the govern
L ment's control Of tho fuel industry The
first month of actual winter has arrived, and
with it Il clamorous demand from every
ton OF the country for mora coal Many
great cities like Cleveland aud Washington
shivering even now because OF shortages
Scores of great industries, some OF them en-
gagged in war activities. are running OH less
than weeks suppl: OF fuel, and must have
more coal if they are to continue their opera
tons
Up to this time the Federal fuel admin
istration has been confronted with grave OBJ
stacles. 1t has had wage controversies in
almost every producing field. 1t has had Il
demoralized situation in the jobbing and re-
tail trade arising out OF the attempt to limit
prices. And above all that, it has had Il car
shortage which has curtailed mine output 10
a dangerous extent. But the wage contest
has been settled through Il general increase
in the pay OF ali bitumnous mine workers
The price situation has materially adjusted
itself, and all interests are reconciled to the
governments policy of limiting profits
Finally, the railroads have pooled all their
equipment under a centralized management,
meaning that every available freight car
which can be used for the movement of coal
will be rendering maximum service.
With these obstacles removed, the fuel ad-
mnistraton is in position for the first
time to put into effective operation the produc-
ton and distribution policies which il has
adopted. There is no lack of power to do
this, in so far law is concerned. The
Federal government is in literal and absolute
control of the whole coal industry Of the
nation. Not ton Of coal may be mined
shipped or sold except by express consent or
the fuel administration Every ton that is
sold must be sold at a price laid down by
the government.
1t now remains to be if the theory
of Federal control Of vital domestic in
dustry will work as effectively in fuelng the
nation as did the processes of private bust
ness and individual enterprise. AS long as
the coal industry was in the hands OF its
owners, tho American people were able TO
get all Of it they needed. 1t is true that they
had to pay excessive prices in many instances
but the stimulus OF profits and the liberty
or competition kept the coal market supplied
with profits cut and competition wiped out
only forceful government action can supply
the coal requirements of the nation.

Silt Is surprising To note that
