The fuel administration Is carrying
on a series Of conferences covering all
Industries which use large quantities
Of fuel. with n view to learning the re-
quirements of each line during 1918.
The Industries themselves are playing
n leading part In these discussions.
The aim of the fuel administration Is
to arrive at a percentage Of produc-
ton which. under the circumstances,
will be satisfactory to the manufac-
turers and their workmen, but which
will not represent a consumption Of
fuel for the manufacture Of supplies
not needed during the current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use Of fuel for the pro-
duction of window glass to 80 per cent
Of the amount manufactured In 1917
Is the result Of one of these confer
ences. A survey of the field indicated
that while not more that 100000
boxes of window glass would be used
in 1918. competitive conditions were
likely to result In an overmanufacture
of at least 100000 boxes.
1t Is through this system of limita-
ton, together with large economy in
the methods Of using fuel, that the
fuel administration expects to supple
ment the production Of coal this year.
It Is hoped. as the railroads strengthen
their facilities, that 1t will be possible
to mine and transport a larger guam
tity of coal this year than last, but 1t
is through these methods of reducing
consumption that a repetition Of this
years shortage is expected to be pre-
vented.

" Council Of Defense provided for by the ad passed
b. the Legislature at It's recent special session Its per-
sonnel announced by him yesterday.
In a political sense the council is well bssneed In

Members Of the council will proceed, with duo crcum-
spoction and regard for public sentiment and in
terest TO lay comprehensive plans and put tho new law
into execution Tho composition Of the Council gives
assurance we think that there will be disposition to
make unwse unjust OF the powers the act con-
fers TO override tho wishes Of the Industrious and

In the enforcement Of the labor cobserpton feature
Of The act there must be exercise Of marked wisdom
With respect 10 what constitutes a Lawful useful

has been awarded the divine mission Of preserving the
democracy, rather singular award Of trusteeshp. by

To the rabid Democrat the term Republic connotes

LOOKS GOOD TO EDITORS

A number of our exchanges have
been specializing on what would hap
pen if the government took over the
newspapers. Well, the first thing
the subscription price would be rails
ed about 50 per cent and the sheriff
would be kept busy chasing delin-
quents. The next step would be to
raise wages Is per cent and editors
who hadn't had a cent in six months
they could call their own, would be
placed on a salary. The merchants
who fail to get their ad copy in until
press day would be hauled up be-
fore the council Of defense and our
linotype man who hired out for two
weeks and quit his job in a week
would be sent to Leavenworth for
about ten years as a deserter. 1t
looks like a good proposition and
we are for it.-Fairbury, (Neb.) News.
