Railroad companies power and light companies, manufac­ turers and others in business are hav ing' trouble keeping the plants in op­ eration where power and steam are re- homes iri.„city, town and country arc yet without coal and freezing weathei is almost upon us. It is said that ax many as 30 farm wagons were linec •p at a coal yard in London last Sat­ urday waiting their turn. No one wat allowed more than 500 pounds. The local situation is anything but pleas ing. Hard era! has been off the mark et. some time. Those who have m coal should not tr .e any chance 5 provide at once reasonable amoun of wood for im-uergency. The tall last summer of cheaper coal has ped hundreds of people. The ques tion of the price of coal cannot cute when zero weather arrives. By tha' time there may be no coal to be had and there no doubt will be much suf­ fering among the poorer classes.

The preachers in Iowa are said to b* at least partly to blame ior the de- .6at of constitutionel prohibition in .nat state. As an indication f then .nditference, in a city of some size, not one minister made it the theme oi .iis sermon on the ti&bbatli before tht election. It is said that in a city of some jize in Ohio and boasting quite a mim oer of ministers, not one ot mei. graced the occasion when a note, remperance lecturer made an address, m that city one 'evening. It is hope* ■hat these watchmen may wake up ix . .ore next Tuesday, or tney may uuv .o share the responsibility of deieu. with the Iowa preachers. What may we depend upon for vie .ory next Tuesday? For every man who believes that the liquor traffic is wrong, to come to the polls that day, whether he is an abstainer himself oi not. Every man is just as respons­ ible for the result of the election as it .t all depended on his vote. Getting people to the polls is the all-important work from this time on. Are you not on good terms with iome unfortunate drinking man? And ^an you not afford to take some time .o meet him and persuade him to rete for his own best interests nexi Tuesday? Will it not be a glorious thing il John Barleycorn is forever put out if business next Tuesday in Ohio .' .t can be done if every man will do his duty. " ? SPRINGFIELD MERCHANT DEAD.
