Only Essential Industries
To Be Given Soft Coal

Duluth, Nov. 19.-All supplies Of
bituminous coal from the docks to-,
the head of the lakes to industries il.
Duluth and Superior and at points,
over the northwest regarded as non
essential were cut of under an or
der issued this forenoon by E. D..
Brigham, chairman, and w. H. Grow
erman, United States fuel adminis-
traitor.
Authority to ship coal to any man
ufacturing plants or industry must
be obtained from Mr.. Brigham and
Mr.. Groverman. The question as to
the essential plants is left largely To-
the discretion Of the fuel admfnts-
traitors. The preferred list in that
respect includes newspapers Offices
and factories engaged on essential
products, including clothing and cer-
tain foodstuffs.
Mr.. Groverman asserted that the
fuel situation had grown much more
serious than had been looked for In
so short time, and that in line With
orders received from r. II. Ashton.
regional director Of railroads in the
northwest it had been decided to ex-
ercise the closest supervision over
the movement Of soft coal from now
on. 5
It win be the aim, however, to B
cause as little disarrangement as pos
sible to industries. but all must bes
prepared to put up with strict regula-

GET OUT THE VOTE TODAY

The only thing to be done today to insure good roads system for Maricopa county is to get out the vote.
 f the advocates of good roads will do that they will win easily and will get the roads
 There can be no reasonable doubt that a very great majority of the voters of the county approve the pan--the $4OOOOOo bond issue and the system as it has been outlined by the county highway commission
 There are against it only two classes of citizens those who are chemically opposed to bond issues or any expenditure for public improvements; and those vvho though favoring good roads, do not favor this plan because it does not especially favor then-dOes not benefit them in greater degree than it benefits their neghbors
 These two classes make up but a very small part of our voting population. But bond elections ordi- narily do not bring out heavy vote It will be re- rnembered that an election proposition to issue s1ooooo bonds in this school district month ago brought out hardly 4 per cent of the voters
 The opponents of the road bonds probably make as much as per cent of all the voters They are apt to be all there.
 So if the friends of good roads do not turn out in rettv Iaroe numbers there is chance for the defeat of the bonds improbable such event may seem.
 We told the other day how road bond issue was defeated in Dallas county, Texas, in the face of aeemnsy almost unanimous sentiment in favor of them.
 The only trouble, and it enough, was that the sentiment was not expressed while the "dissent nent"
 Another very strong why should have heavy vote is that we ought to make good impres sion upon bond buyers; should let them know that practically our whole population has entered into this obligation, heart and soul
 That will give the bonds additional value. We can then sell them readily and on better terms.
 It does not make any difference how busy you may be today, will pay to take the little time required go to the polls and vote for the bonds.
 When you have done that you have done good days work.
 Vote for the road bonds today
 Vote for the farmers of Maricopa county.
 Vote for the towns.

arbitration before the declaration of a strike The pressmen had treated the agreement as a scrap of paper
 Says the statement:
 Their grievance was the refusal of the manage ment to reinstate discharged pressman This mans carelessness month ago in putting plate on the press which he worked resulted in the wrecking of the press that it required $500 to repair the damage. The foreman in charge at the time discharged him.
 The discharged pressman contended tha- the plate was defective and the matter was referred to standing committee composed of two members of the unou and two representatives of the publishers rbe ccmLittee after chemical analysis 3f the metal showing it to be sound reported unanimously that the foreman was justified in dscharging"
 Later the members of the union insisted that the pressman be reinstated This demand the manage ment refused because it felt it unsafe to entrust U man of demonstrated carelessness the care of press The union made the threat that unless he was reinstated all union pressmen would quit and this threat was carried into execution
 This seems to be a one-sded case It can hardly be argued that employer cannot take measures to protect himself against the incompetence or care lessness of employees. And, anyhow he has a right to rely upon his agreements with his employees.
 Until such agreements be relied upon the new era to which we have been looking forward when labor shall come into it's own, is quite distant

Mir. Bryan, churchman, Party Man

Mir. Bryan was only talked of as a candidate for moderator the Presbyterian general assembly He not actually among those who "aso ran" But if he had been in the running it would have been particular feather in the cap of Dr. Baer if he had beaten him. A quarter of a century ago, Nr Bryan began the habit of being beaten and long ago confirmed in it.
 No doubt Mir. Bryan is a good and earnest Pres byterian and qualified under the new rule which makes aymen eligible to office which formerly open only to the clergy but his nomination in the circumstances would have been mistake.
 Though Presbyterians everywhere are proud of hm-are proud Of the association Of so eminent a gentleman with the church-they regard him of democrat than Presbyterian. fiis elevation to the position of presiding officer of the great gathering of the church would by many have been looked upon as in sense triumph of the democratic party, at any rate, wing of it, in the Presbyterian church.
 We do suppose though. that his election would have been gratifying to all democrats among whom may name so eminent one as the Hon. Champ Clark. MT. Bryan is moreover unfitted for position by the fact that he is the kind of a democrat he is-by his intense partisanship which recognizes in democrat that is in his faction of democrats, deserving democrats" some superiority and worthiness for honors and emoluments which in his opinion should attach to no other persons
 With Mir. Bryan in the moderators chair it would have been pretty hard to keep politics out of the church. Mir. Bryan would himself have done anything to introduce them but they would have provoked by his very presence Tn such an assembly, church assembly, it is almost certain that there arc some members whose partsanship is immediately the first layer of the skin. The first scratch ing brings it to the surface and it may without any scratching.
 At St Louis almost certainly there are democrats who would have regarded the election of Mir. Bryan as an endorsement of the democratic party while doubt there are republicans who would have resented his election as vague, though perhaps unntended reflection upon the republican party

Good Roads and Diversified Farming

Farmers sooner or later come to realize the desira bility of diversified farming Perhaps no cause limits farming of this description as effectively as bad roads. Of course the prime requisite for successful diversified farming is a good market. This market may be either nearby town a city, a distant market which requires railroad transportation.
 In any case, however, the speed of transportation from farm to the unloading point is essential Diver sified farming usually means change from staple crops such as corn and wheat to more perishabe products such fruits and garden truck that is to say from crops that may be held at the farm to crops which must be moved away from the farm immediately. The possibility Of this change is large ly dependent upon road conditions.

Land Values and Good Roads

The price of farm land like that of any other commodity, is ruled by the relation between supply and demand. This readjustment, as has been seen, is sharp and immediate in many cases.
 One distinct item of increased values is becoming evident from year to year. that is immigration into the rural districts where road conditions are flaw orable In this respect the presence of good roads has it's greatest influence upon the owners of auto mobiles There are repeated instances of this kind in New England and those states which have been active in improving their roads by state aid.
