Appeals for Co-operation
in Meeting the Present
Dire Emergency.
No Improvement in Condi
tions Past Week—Poor
People of Cities and
Towns Entirely Without
Coal.
OPEN LETTER TO PEOPLE.
Gooding:, Dec. 8.—I regret to advise
the people that this week brings no
relief to the coal situation. More
to wins are reported out of coal this
week than any other previous week
since my appointment.
Again, I want to urge the people to
organize in every city, town and vil
lage under the leadership of their
mayor.
CO -OPERATION*. ASKED.
I have asked the county commission
ers to co-operate in' this work. There
should be a joint meeting of the mayors
and the boards of count.» commission
ers as soon as possible, and a complete
and thorough survey made of every
household in southern Idaho. A per
sonal Inspection should be made of the
«•oal bins and woodsheds. Any other
kind of survey would not be worth the
lime and expense it is going to incur.
We have just completed a thorbugh
survey here at Gooding, and found 65
families in the town out of coal. We
were fortunate enough to receive a car

] I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk
; several yearn ago. Doctors said my only hoi>e
of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no
good. Finally 1 got hold of something that
j quickly and completely cured me. Year* hdfe
I passed and the rupture has never returned,
I although 1 am doing hard work as a carpenter.
I ^l'here was no operation, no lost time, no
j trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give
! full information about how you mar find a
} complete cure without operation, if you write

the day after the survey was com
pleted. The mayor took charge of the
; coal and two marshals distributed It. I
' Sixty-five families were given 1000
I pounds of coal each. The situation in
this town Is so serious the dealers were
not able to cope with it.
POOR OUT OF COAL.
; The same condition exists in other j
towns and may come to every town in ;
the state. Practically all the poor Î
people in every town are out of coal
very soon after the dealers are out. !
These people are entitled to protec
I lion at a time like this of the officers j
i nf the town or village where they live.
They can only be protected through a
thorough surve> giving the officers of
every town a complete knowledge of
the amount of coal in each household
at the present time. Our dealers have
been furnished with a list of the
' amount of coal in every household.
I From now on when coal arrives here
we will have a fair distribution of it.
Since J have been fuel administra
tor 1 have found there are coal hogs,
as well as other kind of hog«. Some
people are not satisfied with getting
their fair share of the coal. They take
I every opportunity to place orders with
every dealer in town and are persist
1 ent. In their demands, when they have
ample coal in some cases to last them
for the next three months .
APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM.
There will not be any suffering in
Idaho if I can have the co-operation
of the people, FOR I AM AUTHOR
IZED WHERE IT IS NECKSSARY TO
PREVENT SUFFERING IN ANY
COMMUNITY TO APPEAL FIRST TO
THE PATRIOTISM, LOYALTY AND
HUMANITY OF THF. PEOPLE WHO
HAVE COAL, AND IF THIS FAILS TO
TAKF. A PART OF ANY MAN S COAL.
PAY I II M T H E M A R K ET PRICE. A N D
GIVE IT TO THOSE WHO ARE IN
GREAT NEED OF IT. I hope I shall
not have to do this or delegate this
authority In any community, HUT IF IT
BECOMES NECESSARY. IT WILL BE
; DONE. I have not given up hopes that
we can pull through the winter. If the
i people will onl\ r take this matter seri
| ou sly and help themselves. In some
parts of the state, there is yet plenty
I of time to go to the mountains and
secure fuel. Meetings should be called
and an organization perfected and this
j work of securing fuel from the forests
begun at once. It is the patriotic duty
of every citizen iti Idaho to lend a
î helping hand In this critical time so that
J every effort may be made to relieve
as far as possible this serious situation.

• LEADERSHIP THE NEED.
I do not mean to criticise our gov
ernment in stopping the shipment of
certain articles intended for Russia. It
would, of course, be mere waste to
send the instrumentalities of civiliza
tion into a region of chaos. That is
not what the Russian people need, at
least until stable government is re
stored. What Russia needs now is
leadership, is advice and counsel such
as will help to bring about order and
establish again the reign of law. The
time is soon coining when these peopl •
will seek refuge from this turmoil
and suffering. That time has perhaps
already arrived, for under the asinine
stupidity of the censorship wc are not
getting all the facts from Russia.
A commission composed of able
men. men in sympathy with what the
Russian people wish to accomplish.
bn\ experienced and wise enough to
direct their movement along practical
lint s, would at this particular time, it
seems to me, be of great help. This
is not reflecting upon the commission
which went and returned. An entirely
new commission should go under dif
ferent circumstances. under a pro
gram of our own and with a wider,
deeper and broader message. It may
be that it is too late; it may be. as
Lloyd George said, ttbe story of Ser
bia and Rumania over again. But 1
believe ve should make the effort.
The possibilities are so great for
good, should we succeed, and the prob
abilities for evil are so great unless
something is done, that we ought to
try.
We simply cannot as a humane and
('hristian people shut our eyes to the
situation in Russia and let it go on
its ruinous way. Wc should have this
republic of the west on the ground,
pitting its humanity. Its liberty, its
experience in free government against
the intrigue and machinations of the
foe. What did Lafayette know about
what the results would be when he
come to America? What did he care
so far as the question of whether he
should come or not was concerned?
What did Kosciusko know? Tlye heal
ing, uplifting power of heroic deeds
often puts to shame the cold calcula
tions and foresight of the most prac
tical.—New York Times.
