After the war he was governor of
New York, then vice president with
Mckinley.
Called to the White House in 1901
after President Mckinley had been
assassinated, Col Roosevelt, AZ years
of age, became the youngest president
the United States has ever had. Three
years later he was elected as president
by the largest popular vote a presi-
dent has received.
Thus Roosevelt, sometimes called
man of destiny, served for seven
years as the nations chief magistrate.
In a subsequent decade the fortunes
of politics did not favor him, for

time leading the Progressive Party
which he himself had organized when
he differed radically with some of the
policies of the Republican Party in
1912-he went down to defeat. to-
gether with the Republican candi-
date, William Howard Taft.
In 1916 he supported Hughes,
preached preparedness-in vain--and
lived to see the nation admit that his
advice was sound. During the war
he urged wholehearted support Of the
nations task and four Of his sons
were in active service, one killed, one
wounded.

URGE PURCHASE
OF COAL EARLY
Nation VIII Again Face Famine
This Winter Unless Ordering
Is Done This Summer.

Unless Rock Island consumers
apply a little pep to their coal buy
ing in the next several months,
there may be another serious coal
famine, with all its rigors, next
winter
At present about 30 per cent of
the consumers of the tri-cities are
stocked up on coal. The 20 per
cent which remains must be urged,
according to bulletins of transpor-
tation companies, to commence
their ordering Immediately, and
not wait until the weather becomes
too cold. If too much time is spent
thinking it over the railroads will
not be able to handle the increased
demands of coal transportation,
and a general shortage will be the
result. Not only is the situation
developing in the tri-cities and in
the middle west, but all over the
country.
This fact is not nearly so gener-
ally recognized by the buying pub
lie as it should be. Former Fuel
Commissioner Charles Webster re-
Gently said: There is need to buy
coal now just as there was last
year and two years ago. Every
winter sees a shortage of coal, ow-
ing to the negligence of the con-
sumner in not buying early. 1t is
physically impossible for the rail-
roads to transport coal when ev-
erybody wants it at the same time.
I am confident coal will be no low
er in price, but will probably be
higher"
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-07-04

Many buyers are deferring buy
ing their coal supply. hoping that
this winter will be a mild one like
the last. Coal dealers and trans
portation companies would taboo
this practice under the charge that
it is poor philosophy. E. L. Goff.
railroad administration agent of
the United States railroad admins
tration in the central western di-
vision, asks, How many of you
have known two mild winters in
successor? How many of you
have known whole communities to
be on the verge of freezing because
Of shortage of coal? How many
of you have known schools and
factories to close for that reason?
How many of you appreciate how
difficult it is for the railroads to
move coal in quantities desired
when the Thermometer registers rs
degrees below zero?" and replies
that everyone is familiar with all
those conditions. Therefore, it is
argued, coal should be ordered
now If possible at all.

ASKS SOUTHERN
ROAD IN HANDS
OF A RECEIVER
BOndhOlders Claim Interurban Line
Defaults on Payment Of Six
Months Interest.

Another chapter in the litigation
which has involved the Rock Is
land Southern was opened in the
circuit court in GaIesburg yester-
day when Attorneys George C. Gale
and Roy Marsh for the bondholders,
sought leave of Judge Thompson to
file a supplemental bill asking for
the appointment of areceiver.
The bill charges that the com
pany failed to meet the payments
of interest for the six months from
Jan 1 to June 30 of this year and
for that reason a receiyership is
asked.
Hearing on the original bill, ask
ing the appointment of a receiver
on the ground that the interests of
the bondholders were jeopardized
by the conditions surrounding the
operating and maintenance OF the
road, was had before Master in
Chancery John H. Lewis, Jr., some
months ago. The evidence in the
case was voluminous and the rec
ord was but recently completed
The master now has this branch OF
the case under advisement. The
new action however, asks for the
appointment OF a receiver on a diff
ferent ground namely the default
of payment Of interests on the
bonds.
Judge Thompson indicated that
he would not grant leave to file the
bill until the Walsh Bros. were no
tilted and present in court and the
matter was put over until Monday
morning to give the defendants an
opportunity to be present.
