FLME SUGGESTION.

7 Asst weeks Red Gross Bulletin, printed Saturday,
Il made mention of, and endorsed, suggestion which
originated with Paul LANCE The West Virgnian
begs leave to add its endorsement that Of the Red Cross
It would be fine hing-hne for the people who have
boys the army fine for the city of Farmont and fine for
the Republicif this idea could be carried out, and
think that effort ought TO be made to carry it out Not
perfunctory little attempt that will roll and play
dead the first effort conspcuousy successful but
good honest whole soued effort that will not acknowledge
the possibility of failure quit until everything going
smoothly.
Briefly Mr. Langes idea is that all the people Of Fair
mont should meet once month"; say talk and make
plans for the welfare of the young who have gone
forth from this city 10 fight for their country and the
of civilization. Letters from them could be read and many
other things that would develop from time to time could be
done
At the start these meetings ought 10 be presided over by
0upeavey tactfu person who has abundant sup
ply Of the milk of human kindness. This is longer
small town. People Go not know each other and all about
each other as they DO in smaller places As they did in
Fairmont only few years back for instance. But the
bond ought draw together the people who have
young relatives the various branches of the national
vice. and if they all attended the meetings would be quite
large at the beginning Soon others would got would
be hard to keep away from such human gatherng-and
in the end genuine community meetings would result
And that would as we have said before do the young
soldiers, the town and the nation lot Of good. No
In Falront could take the lead in such matter with bet
ter prospects of eventual than Mayor Bowen. The
Red Gross ought put in his hands and fix date for
the FIRST meeting after The last of the National army
soldiers get camp. In the meantime the plan should be
communicated to all the young that they could have
good letters on hand for the opening gathering. We

COAL CONTROLS FUTURE.

A CCORDING to a dispatch from Washington to the
"A Public Ledger of Philadelphia, government control
and operation of soft coal mines is being seriously
thought OF in the national capital and there is prospect
that strong pressure will be brought to bear upon Dr. Harry
A. Garfield. the coal administrator in favor of it. The
danger of serious shortage in fuel apparently, has
alarmed public utilities and managers of industrial plants
and they beginning to rush Washington and demand
protection.
What the outcome of this sort of camor will be no one
can tell 1t may that it will depend largely upon the
attitude of the operators themselves The legislation under
which the mining industry being controlled is quite COM
pehenslve. 1t gives the government such varied and vast
powers that any effort to force its hand would quite likely
prove complete failure, and might prove expensive 10
those behind the movement.
For instance, in addition TO the power to fix the price

administrator, may in the interest of the national defense
require all producers sell their product only to the Unit

it the government take plant and let the next one
alone This provision put in the act. apparently so
that there would be method of controlling any little band
Of wiful' operators.
Most of the uneaness about fuel conditions this winter
is due largely to the uncertainty which Dr. Gar6elds delay
in announcing his complete program has created He has
been away from Washington for time but according
10 dispatches from there is expected early this week If
that thatwe to know before this week ends just
what the government hopes do in the matter coal men
begin to make plans and will be possible to get some
line upon what the production outlook for the winter is
going to be- That may have the effect of putting produc
