Coal is now on an open market; 1t is
a sellers market. a market in which
the highest bidder will. in many
cases. be the first supplied. The
specula tor in coal has not been elm
mated. and drastic rulings as to hold
ing cars, and to much rebilling from
point to point. will be necessary to
hold him in check.
One CLEAN Of Light.
The CLEAN Of light in the distance
is the fact that the railroads are ex-
pediting coal deliveries by heavy de-
murrage charges for holding loaded
cars and have speeded up coal mile
age travel bit. 1t Is also hoped that
the miners will speed up their load

down to business. We are capable of
mining and delivering a whole lot of
coal per day in this country If all re-
sponsible for that work do their duty

into rites and -
organizations to accomplish their pro-

special interest to women.
Felt She Must Wait.
MANY women did go into politics at
that time, but / felt that I must wait
and see what the parties did in the
selection Of candidates, how much CO
operation they were willing to give the
women, and how far they would go In
the adoption of the woman's program.
waited, and I am glad did.
IT saw the Republican state conven.
ton refuse to select women delegates
to the national convention. A few
alternates was the best that they could
do. The Democratic convention made
woman delegate a member of the
Big Four and selected a number of
other women as delegates and alter
mates.
The Indiana League Of Women
Voters presented the same set Of
planks to the platform committee Of
each state convention and national
convention. The Republicans adopted
few of the planks; the Democrats
adopted all Of them"
Says Democrats Are Ahead.
Other things were necessary to make
1t possible for Mrs. Lewis to choose
between the two old parties. She
waited to know who the candidates
were and whether the parties would be
controlled by their progressive or re-
| dictionary wings.
"At Chicago" Mrs. Lewis continued,
"the progressive Republicans were eff.
fectively suppressed and were not per-
| mitted to name the candidates or to
determine the policies. At San Fran
, cisco the progressive element was in
control"

crop looks like 1,400 to 1.475 million,
or within so to $4,000 Of a record crop.
Country is contracting new corn at
500. Bullish wheat ideas are not
backed by buying. Canadian wheat
figures Z to 9 cents below United
States wheat Forty per cent OF the
corn crop is late but front fears can
be delayed until Sept. 20 to 20. NO
deliveries of corn or oats. Provision
deliveries liberal Some talk that Jan.
