Herr wiedfeldt. and practically every
department head in the present ad-
m,nistration were among the callers.
most of whom left flowers and person
al notes expressing their sympathy.
While there was no announcement
as to when the attending physicians
expected q crisis to be reached, the
statement that consultation would be
held tomorrow to determine whether
an operation would be held led to the
conclusion that no development of
extreme gravity was considered prob
able before that time.
DR.. Charles Mayo of Rochester,

consultation. DR.. John Tinney OF

was emphasized yesterday at the
White House in this connection that
both President and Mrs. Harding held
every confidence in Gen. Sawyer, who
served as physician to the family for
MANY years before the Hardings came
to Washington.
President Harding personally called
Clifford King Of Marion. Ohio, brother
Of Mrs. Harding, over long distance
telephone yeterday and advised him
of the latest report from DR.. Sawyer.

The White House grounds were de-

of police who kept quiet vigil, while
the Executive Mansion itself was
shrouded In darkness except for dim
glow from the front entrance and .
subdued light which came from the
President. Harding, physicians and
nurses remained alone at the bedside,
while Secretary Christian remained
close at hand in an adjoining room.
Because 0f the absence Of officiAis
from the executive Offices, where At

kept watch, there were few visitors
as the night wore on. Among those
who called, however, to INQUIRE AZ to
Mrs. Harding's condition and leave q
brief personal word were Senators

COAL COMPETITION.

f. S. Peabody Chicago engineer, sub
mits free competition as the solution for
the coal problem. Left TO itself, he arg
ues, the coal industry will eliminate its
unfit and thus cure its own ills
1t is a plausible argument, acceptable
to the rather large class of modern econ
omists whose motto is the old-fashioned
doctrine of 'laissez faire," now rendered
''let business alone" Mr. Peabody rea-
sons that the productive power of the
mines, if operated at capacity all the
time, is about double the quantity of
coal needed; that there are 100000 SUI
perfuous men employed and thousands
of superhuous mines operated; that the
loss in capital and wages resulting from
this over development is $500, 900 900 a
year, which imposes on the public an I'M
necessary cost of so cents per ton
All this waste can be eliminated, says
Mr.. Peabody, by simply doing nothing.
Under free competition, with industrial
conditions normal, the 10000 pits of the
bituminous coal industry will be forced
into a gigantic struggle for existence in
which the fittest will survive and those
least able to stand the strain will be
forced out" 1t will be drastic process,
and Will take about 10 years, he thinks,
but the outcome will be worth the sacri-
fee. In the end. 1--WE shall have only the
most efficient mines, able to produce coal
at the lowest cost; and while the struggle
for existence is on. competition can be
depended on to maintain a low level of
prices. The situation is bound to work
directly to the benefit of the coal con-
sumer.''
The process advised is one naturally
acceptable to Americans, who believe
pretty thoroughly in the law of economic
struggle and survival. But unfortunately
experience has taught them in recent
decades that the natural law seldom has
free play any more-it is too likely to
be swept aside by the artificial law of
combination on the part of capital or
labor, or both together.
Suppose some captain of industry hap
pens to gather a majority of the mines
into one great combine, with inflated
capitalization, insisting on profits accord
ingly. Or suppose there is established,
under a powerful labor leader, similar
monopoly in the coal industry Then
where will the public be? There have
got to be restraining laws in any modern
industry Government cannot let indus
try alone.

new division, the bureau of home
economics, will soon be established I'M
der the department of agriculture at
Washington and a woman will be at it's
head. A department which has as its
object the forwarding of intelligent home
making in all its branches is more potent
for the future good of the nation than
some of the more prominent and longer
established agencies at Washington.
The housewife who feels that she has
little part in shaping of the great affairs
of the nation because her home-making
leaves little time for public life, should
look upon the new bureau as Indicative
of the Importance of her service.

Time for Fuel Action.
est. Adams Messenger. }

While, so far as The Messenger
knows, the Vermont fuel administration
has no price fixing powers, in fact is
equipped with nothing more than moral
force, it would do no harm if it We're 70
give its immediate attention to some OF
the details arising out of the shortage of
coal for industrial and heating purposes.
There is little indication that Vermont
is going to have anything like normal
supply of hard coal this winter. 1t is
probable that the situation will be even
more serious than it was in war times.
We probably have been fooling ourselves
in hoping that conditions would right
themselves and coal would be available.
The upshot is likely to be that the
main dependence viii have to be placed
on wood Wood, therefore, becomes an
item of great Importance. 1t takes at
least two cords of good sound hard wood
to equal ton of coal With the ordi-
nary run of wood the ratio is still more
favora Bile to coal. The cost of heating
the homes this winter becomes a serious
matter.
There is no reason. why there should
be profiteering in coal. There should be
no reason why there should be profiteer-
ing in wood. The price of wood has all

ready advanced in some places. Wood
taken from the very pile that was selling
at SO and $12 a cord before the coal
strike, is now going for $12 and $14, ac-
eording to information that seems re-
liable. The peoples extremity becomes
the prOfiteer's opportunity.
The Messenger considers it the fuel
administrators duty to try to hold this
tendency in check as much as possible.
The wood dealer is entitled TO a fair re
turn. The price must be enough TO pro-
duce the supply. But swollen profits are
disgraceful. 1t would not be a difficult
matter for the fuel administrator roughly
to arrive at what would be a fair price
and to publish the fact throughout the
state.
Perhaps he has no power to enforce a
price, that is, no legal power. but he has
at his command a force that he ought not
to overlook. That is the power of pub
licity. Few coal dealers would want it
made public that they were furnishing
relatives and intimate friends with a sup
ply while others were being literally left
out in the cold; few wood dealers would
want it made known that they were vic
timiZing their neighbors in time of need.
During the war the food administration
found publicity a greater weapon against
abuses than fines or cancellation of
licenses.
The Messenger hopes that the Vermont
fuel administration is taking itself Sc
riously and is not going to confine itself
TO attendance ukpn national or regional
conferences with now and then the publ
cation of some words of advice to the
general public The administration has
an opportunity for real service The peo-
pie look to it for some constructive ac-
ton.
What coal there is on hand now should
be conserved and the dealers ought not
to be allowed to rush it out according to
their own fancy. Some dealers. no doubt,
are trying to do this before the admins
tration acts. Already valuable time has
passed without essential productive steps
being taken. 1t is time the Vermont
fuel administration took some positive
constructive action

blessedness of powdered milk and pow

year. the condition of the crop being

"W. E. Jones of Waitsfeld has de-
cided not to shy his hat into the political
ring in that town where he was men
toned as a candidate for town repre-
sentative" says the Montpelier Argus.
Mr.. Jones gives as his chief reason for
not entering the field that the coming
weeks, when he could not stop to say
good morning" TO his friends and neigh
bors or give stick of candy to kid or
pat a friendly dog on the head without
arousing suspicion that he was chasing
votes, did not look good to him, and for
that reason he decides to remain a priv
ate citizen. 1t is true that voters have
been made somewhat suspicious by their
experiences in the past when the cor
diality of candidates for Office disap-
peared like the froth from stale beer after
election was over.
