MOI An Issue.

The Kansas City Star is not
disloyal. Such an accusation IS
not only ridiculous, but is a part
of a selfish plan to discredit the
influence of the paper.
The Star has been indiscreet
and has used very poor judg-
ment. 1t belongs in the class with
the Well meaning man who is all
ways laundering into serious
trouble with the best intentions
in the world. The kind of a man
who insists that he knows all a.
bout flying machines and then
when his egotism and bull-head-
edness causes the death of an
aviator is awful sorry and
didn't mean to do it." Such men
are often more dangerous than
the actual criminal who may be
apprehended and locked up.
The Star got started off wrong
when Lord Nortclife made his
visit here. This English publish
Ier of newspapers told how he had
Strengthened out the govern
ment, changed the cabinet and
was winning the war and ex-
pounded his methods and theori-
es. The Star admired him great
ly and concluded to follow the
same plan. Then it permitted its
great admiration for Theodore
Roosevelt to blind all judgment.
Roosevelt could do no wrong,
therefore Roosevelt articles were
the thing. The Star was proba-
bly, the only real big newspaper
in the United States which did
not know Roosevelt's newspaper
reputation. Roosevelt is the kind
of man who makes charges and
investigates afterward. Nobody
doubts Rooseyelts loyalty, but
nobody now has any confidence
in his judgment. His egotism
looms so big that it is impossible
for him to see a sore spot on that
.egotism. He would like to stake
the result Of this war on a per-
sonal combat with the KAISER if
that combat could be held be-
tween the two armies drawn up
In regular ranks with the world
looking on from the sidelines.
The
Star should learn a little sense
and fire a headliner or two and
keep sneers and uncertain state
mehts out Of its columns, forget
about General Wood and lose
Roosevelt. Exam

u. S. FUEL ADMINISTRATION
Jefferson City, Mo.

To the Editor:
The people Of Missouri are not
storing coal as rapidly as the e.
mergency demands it should be
stored.
Despite repeated warnings,
there is an apparent Indifference
upon the part of many consu-
mers, and the many thousands
who have not as yet placed their
orders should be made to realize
their duty in this important
matter.
It is true that dealers are not
filing all orders promptly be-
cause of difficulty in securing
grades Of coal at this time, but
this should not deter the con-
sumer from placing his order
and until this is done he has fail
ed in his patriotic duty.
There will be no further ship
ment Of Pennsylvania Anthra-
cite to Missouri. This is final
and authoritative. Users of hard
coal base-burners must either
burn coke, or Arkansas Anthra-
cite, or change the stove bowls
so that soft coal may be burned.
Otherwise there is no alterna-
tive except to set the base-burn-
.er aside. This is one Of the sac
.rifices we must make in support
of the government war program.
Your people must be content
with what coal they can get,
and as many Missouri and Kan
sas mines, also Illinois mines,
are not operating full time for
lack of orders, l hope you will
urge the public to ask for the
coal that is available and secure
it at the earliest opportunity.
There is a shortage in produc-
ton that cannot possibly be
overcome, but the situation may
be less serious, in proportion to
the amount of coal placed in the
bins of consumers during the
summer.
Will you join the State Fuel
Administration in laying this
matter before the people and in
warning them against the conse-
ouences Of their own neglect?
viii you also, if there is wood
fuel available in your locality,
insist that whenever possible,
wood should take the place of
coal
