GO?. GOODRICH ADDRESSES

(Continued from pate one.) the country Into false security before the war. 'although the communications from Ambassador Gerard "showed most clearly the ultimate purpose of Germany agrainst us and our Inevitable participation in the war." "The war was three thousand miles away; the world had been told that we were too proud to fight In defense of the rights of our citizens and the honor of the nation, 'J the governor said. "Tha time should have been spent In preparation, but military training: was denied us. Time was wasted in writing; notes and futile diplomatic correspondence. Rhetoric and phrase making took place of gun making; and without chart or compass, we helplessly drifted into the war." IT AMOCXTS TO COERCION". The speaker deplored that "evidence that the opposition is seeking- to coerce the republican voters of the nation Into voting the democratic ticket, by implying that the man who does not so vote Is a traitor to his country." The governor pointed to the result -f the recent election in Wisconsin for Vnited States senatorship in predicting ' ilur of these methods. 41 1

In discussing some of the after effects of the war, the executive declared that a protective tariff will be absolutely necessary to protect our Industries in the reconstruction period. He discussed the large number of women who have entered rlaces formerly held by men, and with the soldiers coming back to their positions after the war. he warned that "to keep our industries going, to furnisi employment to the laborer of the country will require the most enlightened national policy, if disaster is not to overtake us." REAL SUPERVISION IS NEEDED. The governor stated that It was not probable that after the war the country would be ready for government ownership of the railroads. He declared that "we must put an end to lndiccriminate criticisms of corporations just because they were corporations." "If we are to have real corporations, we must have real government supervision," he stated. In regard to Indiana affairs, the governor announced definitely that no special session of the legislature would be called unless unforseen emergencies arise: advocated postponement of th J

enactment of an exlce tax law. which he strongly favored at the last sesslo t of the legislature, until after the war "on account of the very heavy taxes collected and to be collected by the government in support of the war. and urged the enactment of several constitutional amendments including adoption of the budget system giving the governor the right to veto separate items in the appropriations bill and against the increases of salaries of state officials during the time for which they are appointed or elected." REVIEWS LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS. The governor reviewed the last session of the legislature, deploring the fact that the republicans failed to have a majority in the senate. He stated that the settlement of the woman suffrage question Is a matter for the nation and declared that he believed the amendment now pending before the United States senate granting the right to vote to women, should be passed. He did not mention prohibition. In going over the financial situation in the state, the speaker pointed out several savings which had been made in the conduct of state affairs.

First, Glad to try Nujol then Glad to Recommend it.

In bottles only, bearing the Nujol trademark never In bulk. "Write for free booklet.

Many endorse Nujol by letters, briefly and convincingly, as follows: NUJOL LABORATORIES, STANDARD OIL CO. (New Jersey), BAYONNE, N.J. Dear Sir: I used only three bottles of Nujol; received extraordinary results; ana am now as "regular as clockwork." Yours truly, Clarion, Pa., Paul Hugo Pfendsack, Dec. 26th, 1916. SufX. Lake Erie, Franklin & Clarion R. R. Co. Thousands of grateful people write such letters as this, saying that results are "better than expected." Remember that in many cases Nujol has restored regular bowel-habits after long-continued use of pills and salts had made the bowels weak, ineffective and dependent. The purity and remedial excellence of Nujol make it the safest, most desirable constipation remedy known, Nujol relieves the bowels without stimulation, griping or unpleasant reaction. Because of its purity the smallest child can safely use it. Don't weaken the body with salts and physics. Use Nujol and be "regular as clockwork." ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS There are no substitutes there is only Nujol.

At every drug store. Send 50c. and we will chip new kit size to soldiers and tailors anywhere.

Problem Is One of Transportation, Declares Garfield Cars and Mines Must Be Kept Busy Every Day in the Year, He Says.

By HARRY A. GARFIELD U. S. FUEL ADMINISTRATOR.

EVERY householder, every public utility, and' every industrial user of coal engaged in work essential to the prosecution of the war are earnestly advised and urged to place without delay their orders for coal to cover their needs for the twelve months beginning April 1. During the past twelve months there ha3 been suffering among consumers,and a curtailment of essential production by industries, through inability to obtain necessary fuel after the beginning of winter. A year ago consumers were led to believe that they might safely withheld their orders until later in the year. They labored under the impression that coal could be bought and secured as well at one time as another. They were told that there was plenty of coal for everybody and that there would be plenty of coal cars to move the coal in also. This advice and its acceptance by consumers was one of the contributing cjauses to the coal shortage with its consequent suffering among domestic consumers and lessening in production of commodities needed in our war activities. The Fuel Administration was not MUST NOT LOSE A DAY. then in existence, and did not begin The production of coal in this Its work until August 23.

DOtfT WAIT

UNTIL AUTUMN OR WINTER

T MAY BE TOO LATE '

Owing to more favorable weather conditions, a greater quantity of coal can be transported each day from April to November than is possible in each day from November to March. Conditions adverse to coal transportation are sure to exist every winter. Such adverse conditions were unusually severe and long-continued in the winter Just passed. To an appreciable degree, however, they have existed every winter, and it is the part of folly to suppose they will not be encountered next winter. THERE IS PLENTY OF COAL. There is plenty of coal in the ground to meet every need. This coal can be taken from the ground only in consequence of orders placed with the operators. If those orders are delayed the coal remains where nature has put it. Coal operators have no other storage space for their coal. Even if such storage Hpace existed, it would be of little benefit. The coal might as well remain in the mines as be stored at the mouth of the mines. In either case, to be used it must be transported to the points where needed. Consequently it must be loaded on coal cars, and this is equally necessary whether the coal is taken directly from the mine to the car, or taken from a storage pile at th mine's mouth to the car. Unless the operators have orders for their coal they cannot load the coal cars, nor will the coal cars be placed at their mines. Without orders for coal the operators cannot ship it, for they can give no directions where it buld be taken.

With the exception of limited storage capacity in retail dealers' yards, there are only three places where coal can be kept. First, iu the ground where it has always been, and where it must remain until mined and loaded into cars. Second, in the cars themselves, where unless those cars are promptly moved to their destination and unloaded it is a hindrance to transportation, blocking up tracks and yards already overtaxed and sadly needed for transportation of other commodities. Third, in the coal bins of domestic consumers, and in the coal piles of industrial users. The value of coal as fuel begins only when It reaches the third place. The fuel problem is to get the coal from the first place of deposit to the final place of deposit with as little delay as possible, and in as steady and continuous a stream as circumstances will permit. The railroads may be compared to a water pipe, which needs to run full all the time to carry the necessary amount of water to its destination. If that water is shut off for any appreciable time, it means an ultimate shortage. The pipe can carry no more than its maximum capacity per day. Inconvenience of paying for coal in the spring or summer, when it will not be needed until autumn or winter, should not influence any consumer to delay placing his order and securing his supply. It i far wiser to borrow money in the spring' to pay for one's coal than to wcit until autumn or winter, when if th coal has not been mined shipped, money cannot procure it.
