In The Right Place.

Senator Kellogg is an enthusiastic
supporter of the St. Lawrence-Great
Lakes deep waterway, which will
bring ocean steamers to Duluth, and
which would mean cheaper freight
rates for the products of the north
west to Europe, worth millions of
dollars to this section of the country.
Minnesota is unitedly in favor of this
project. Kellogg is one of the leaders
of the senate and will have great in
fuence in shaping legislation if re-
elected. It is simply good sense to
keep him on the job and not lose his
influence by replacing him with some
one without influence, and who would
be useless as our representative

Raltway Veterans Offer
Aid in Coal Shortage
.Arss,Uer Meyers AtfGck on.
Their Lack Of Public Spirit
BY Naming Fuel Committee

The Amer an Legion Fost of Rah-
way N. j., announced yesterday it
would have q committee ready by We'd
nesday night TO act with the munich
pal authorities in rationing and dis
tributing coal if such action became
necessary.
The announcement was in reply to
challenge issued by Mayer James B..
Furber of Railway, Socialist. When
the Legion post criticized him for re-
fusing to march IN the Memorial Day
parade he retorted that the Legion had
no real interest in public welfare, re-
heating the remark recently and adding
that If it had 1t would take charge
of the coal situation.
"The Legion will take steps," said
Samuel r. Morton, post commanacr,
.'to prove to its own satisfaction, to
the satisfaction Of the public and even
TO the satisfaction of Mr.. Furber that
the remark was uncalled for and un-
warranted
"The Legion men believe that this
offer of the Mayors is merely a cage
Of passing the buck. However, we ac-
cept this offer. The Legion post Ii
ready to appoint committee to WORK
in eo-operation with city officials n
solving the coal shortage problem here
Furber wants us to take the whole bur-
den. But we feel that the city official,
necessarily must have some part in
preparing coal distribution plans, be.
cause the city authorities are the only
ones with legal power to take drastic
action in rationing coal If such steT
becomes necessary

The Supreme Court set aside the

5Q-Cent Gas Impossible
"The commission believes the rates

geoas that can, with reason. be fixed
at this time. Thev have been forced
upon the companies. 1t therefore
asks the public to have confidence that
they represent the best that cah be

OF having worked upon und based its
action upon facts. In order that no
one need be deceived by the demands
that have been made by some of the
city authorities for . return to the
S0-cent rate, we wish to say to
the public in all candor, and as a
statement of fact, that there is no
company in the City of New York thai
can afford to sell gas at so cents at
this time.
THE cost of producing and distrib-
uting gas, without taking into consid-
GRAFTON certain taxes and a return
upon investment, amounts to more
than so cents. If in the face
of what is the Commissions posi-
tive knowledge on this subject, there
should eontifue to be any recurrence
Of a demand FOR the S0-cent rate
at this ting it viii be evident that
those indulging in it have no other
thought than to deceive the public for
their own selfish motives. The Cam
mission weuld be delighted to offer
the people of New York lower rate
than the one now fixed, and will be
prepared to do so when a lower rate
can be justly fixed. But we want tfe
