For the last three or four years the' retail coal dealers. of the northwest have beer at their wit's end to know how best to take care of the needs of their customers. During the federal fuel admin- ijstration, tons of literature were sent out advising the people to place their orders with their dealers for the: winter supply and get it in during the summer So that there would not be a rush’ at the last momient, when the cold weather came, to fill ‘every consumer’s bin at once. Notwithstanding this .very. excellent advice, conditions were such that the dealers could not get any coal during the summer months to fill their customers’ orders. The- consumers followed the advice of the government fuel administration and placed their orders with the retail dealers. The retail dealers in turn placed their orders with the wholesalers and they with the operators and there the trouble started. The result was that very little coal actually got on to the head of ‘the lakes docks until late in the fall, either because of longshoremen strikes or shortage of cars. This condition for one reason or another has pre- vailed for at least three winters and it bids fair to be as bad or worse this fall. Opinions differ widely at this time as to the reason coal is not coming to'the docks at Duluth and Superior. One investigator states the eastern manufacturers are hoarding coal at their plants much’ beyond their requirements. Another states between seven and eight thousand cars of coal are standing in Atlantic coast cities waiting for ton- - nage ‘space on ocean- boats to ‘be unloaded and sent across to Europe, thus trying up available cars. Still others, who' claim to have investigated the conditions aver that there is a shortage of coal at the mines and that the operators are not mining nearly’ the quantities of coal they did in previous years. A One thing is certain, coal is not coming up the lakes in anything like sufficient quantities to insure an adequate supply for the coming winter in the northwest, and “ancther thing ,seems ‘ certain that someone must be given the power to see that the situation is remedied, and at once. If . the best way to do this is by a federal officer who shall be : given fall authority over the shipments of coal ‘#rom the mines-and the requisitioning of sufficient: cars to carry the coal to its destination, then by all means let us have one appointed jimmediately. Investigations will not get much coal into our bins for winter. It seems strange that coal may be obtained for export to Europe and America’s re- quirements go unheeded.

The pleasantest part. of it is when the editor can pass words of commendation and praise for good deeds well ‘done. paper praises everything, good, bad ‘and indifferent, . it ceases to have any influénce; for anything. . In order to make words of commendation worth the ink ‘they ‘are printed with, a newspaper must have. the nloral courage to condemn wrong wherever it appears, be it friend or foe] in exactly the same way that any public official is expected to perform his duties, and if it’does this, though it may tempo- rarily cause some. personal hard feelings, the great American public: is ‘bound to sustain that attitude, and the ultimate end of rectifying the wrong, will . be aceoxpplished.—l’ress, Herrick, S.
