Attack on Our Institutions.

Kansas City.-A letter written by

John H. Pollock, Kansas City attor.

forcement, was made public by Judge
Pollock. The letter. dated Columbus,

Il have read your letter with in.
terest. The question before us now
is law enforcement AS the constitu-
ton and statute stands. they are the
expressed mandate of the people and
must be respected by public officers
and citizens as long as they remain.
There is no difference between neg
lect Of the law by public officers and
an attack against our institutions by
the bolsheyiki. We contend, and
so, that there is no need Of
revolution in this country because we
have the governmental facilities to
change the existing order by rule OF
the majority, but we can hardly
create the proper attitude among
lliens, unaccustomed to cur ways, IL

IS GOVERNMENTAL AGITATION
For Past Eight Months Some Govern.
ment Agent or Another Has Been
Agitatng About Coal.

Washington. - Aussrance Of an
adequate supply Of coal to meet all
domestic requirements during the
coming months was given by George
II. Gushing, managing director OF the
American Wholesale Coal association,
who declared in statement that re-
ports of an impending coal shortage
were unfounded The public, he said,
is panic stricken without reason.
There is no danger Of any such
shortage in coal, Mr.. Gushing stated
Therefore there is reason but no
excuse for the current high prices in
the open market. The reason is that
we have had too much governmental
agitation Of the danger OF a famine.
Mr.. Cushing declared that for the
past eight months there has not
been a day or even an hour when
some governmental agency was not
Lgitating about coal and predicting
| coal famine" Prices, he said, have
cached the highest peace time level
n history, because those who need
,oal are "frantically bidding against
ZACH other in every market"
