field has abandoned the Monday holiday
plan of saving COAL it might be in order to
remind him that the country has never been
convinced that such drastic measure was
necessary in order to keep the American pco-
pie from freezing vital American indus
tries in operation. No argument presented
by DR.. Garfield in support OF his cXtraOrdi-
nary program ever quite carried conviction.
In the mind OF the average citizen there
lurked the feeling that enforced holidays
could have been obviated if earlier plumbers
and miscalculations had not been made.
Tho willingness of the people to carry ont
the governments radical scheme, however,
is profound tribute to their patriotism
And it is greater tribute by reason Of The
distrust OF tho whole business. If tho coun-
try had agreed implicitly with DR.. Garfield
upon the necessity for their cooperation in
carrying it out. the fact would not have re-
Elected any patriotic nclnations. But with
at least two out OF every three men dissent
ing as to the necessity, this cooperation
proved to be q really remarkable demon
stration of popular discipline
Food and fuel are not to be regarded in
the same light with respect TO their guam
tty. There is limited supply OF foodstufrs
III this country and limited capacity for
thclr production. But there is a limitlcss
supply Of fuel There arc unnumbered bill
other billions underlying our praires. No
statistician has ever undertaken to determine
the amount Of coal there is in America The
only question to be answered, therefore, is
the question Of producing this coal and put
ting it on the market.
And it is not to the credit of Amer
lean enterprise that difficulty should be en-
countercd in supplying, not ONLY all the coal
that this country needs but all the coal that
our allies may demand Of us. Instead of
acute shortages i'll every consuming center
there should be surplus quantities Of fuel
Nothing is more absurd than that industry
should suspend in the midst of war, that all
business should close down for a fixed period
in midwinter in order to provide enough coal
10 keep domestic hearths warm
The nation has learned valuable lesson
during the past thirty days, and it is unlike
~ that it will have to admit again that it
is unable TO fuel itself even for one day
Before another winter comes enough coal
should be produced, and probably will be
produced. to meet every requirement And
it VIII be delivered TO those centers of &C
tivty while delivery is easy. More than that,
