f;?. A. J. Casey, editor of the American
Coal Journal, thinks, according tu
p;. telegraphic advices, that setter results
might have been obtained by the ftel
administration had it commandeered
railroad cars needed by the operators
and left the coal situation to itself out
that It merely the opinion of one 01
I"; the many coal authorities. Mr. Casey
thinks that tha fuel administration
made a mistakp at the start by not
seeing to It that the operators secured
ffit" enough cars to keep the mines work
ing eight hours a day every day. rtc
V argues that that would have preveutI
. ed a coal shortage and contends that
the price would automatically have
gone down. "Even if the mines got
pa cars so they could work eight hours
if i every day Instead of onyl three dav
a week (one day last week in the KnitI"
mont-Clarksburg region) it would
force down the price," lie is quoted rs
E-' ; saying. Regarding the 4.r> cents in ?>
crease Mr. Casey said: "The public
p'f will have to pay it end there is no way
ftu : - around that."
Dr. H. A. Garfield expressed the es|
?E? sentlal unity of purpose and action el

at his recent address to operators at
Pittsburgh. The shadow of a difference
between the two was removed
?? in that address. That seemed a liar

NATION AND STATE
Personal Characteristics of
Dr. Garfield and Professor
Barnes.
i 1
West Virginians are greatly uiterested
in coal matters as it is the second
coal producing stute in the union
and therefore eagerly gulp for information
regarding tlio men who are
in charge of the fuel administration
both national and state.
Dr. Harry A. Garfield.
!)r 'iarry A. Garfield is five feet
I eight inches in height and weighs
170 pounds. He lias a solid figure,
woll rounded, and looks like he enJoyed
tho best of health and took
nourishment regularly, though he is
not fat. His head Is rather larger
than the usual. Ilia face is broad but
no feature is emphasized unless it is
the jaw. His eyes are wide apart and
ono is smaller than tho other. Ills
hair is brown and he has an abundance
of it. His hair has just a tinge
of gray. His fingers are of moderate
length and suggest the aristocrat. His
clothps are careful chosen and well
fashioned though there is nothing
extreme about his dress. He wore a
brown suit at Pittsburgh, with the
ohlh vwut ii 14liwiitu, fiMpijiiHi7.ni>; ine
outline of his figure. Ilo is a forcible
speaker though lacking in tlio
traits of an orator. He is precise in
his use of words and clear in his
enunciation. Every word he said at
Pittsburg seemed to bo weighed,
which is not surprising as he talked
on a subject which had but recently
attracted him for detailed investigation
and he addressed men who had
liver coal for years.
J. Walter Barnes.
J. Walter Iiarnes, of Fairmont, recently
named as fuel administrator
for West Virginia is not unlike his
superior in the nation. Ho is also
five feet, eight inches in height. He
weighs ICG pounds, not being quite so
stocky or broad shouldered as Dr.
Garfield. Mr. Barnes has blue ees,
the fair complexion which goes with
them and for many years has worn,
whiskers, offering the English cut
which gives him a distinguished air.
His eyes are large and through tlicm
the character of the man can be easily
read. His hair is turning gray

Mr. Barnes generally wears gray and
is ono of the few men in Fairmont ,,
who sticks to the swallowtail coat,
another distinguishing trait to the o
closely observant. He is an Interest- M
Ing talker, well posted 011 topics of st
the day, and fair In his Judgment so
that there is never any uneasiness of ~
his getting on the wrong side of any
proposition. Mr. Barnes Is the one
j man coming to mind who has taught
school for any length of time without
' getting the task-setter's fault of al- ?
was being certain that he Is right. -Mr.
Barnes is liberal In his views,
slow In pronouncing an opinion on an 0.
important matter and possesses that
discrimination by which he comes to v
conclusions which are certain to be *
as near-Solomon-like as modern wis- |j'
dom permits. Mr. Barnes, llku his ?
chief, has not made any particular '
study of coal and enters into his new
work without any prejudices whatever,
which was doubtless the reason
advanced by Governor Cornwell In
his collection and the national admin- ^
istratlon in its insistence upon his
acceptance. ?(
