SAFETY FIRST.

1t Is too early to judge whether Sun.
day nights wreck on the Burlington In
Illinois was in fact the result of DELHI
crate disregard of block signals by the
engineer of the train which crashed
into the rear cars of stock train,
killed several Iowa stockmen and in
jured others.
The evidence contained in the dis
patches is all against the engineer. but
the condition is too serious for snap
judgment.
The evidence thus far, however, i'll
dicates that for some reason. which
may or may not justify the engineer or
excuse him, the automatic signals with
which the railway is equipped we're
disregarded. Death and destruction
resulted.
This is a costly argument for obseFv-
ance of the rule which railroads have
urged on their employees for several
years: Safety first" 1t should be
considered in proportion to Its costli.
ness, and should instill in the mind OF
every railroad employe the determine
ton to observe that rule even at the
expense Of time, which is second only
to safety in the railroads list of Thou
musts."
The unavoidable accidents In rail-
reading are all too numerous. The list
never should be heightened by an acct
dent that could have been avoided by
the exercise of proper caution and the
observance Of the rules Of the road.

CAUSE FOR REGRET.

San Francisco 1ng has been a not
bed for labor dispuIes. and the extensive
strike Of shipyard iron workers there
may or may not be result OF more or
less continuous agitation by misguided
labor leaders whose principal Job ia
gone when members of their organiza-
tons are at work.
The Courier is in hearty sympathy
with the trades union movement and
with the men who are recognized as Its
real leaders in America But we are
entirely out of accord with the agftator
who uses his membership or his office
in trades union to foment dissatisfac-
ton, to disorganize and to spread the
socialistic doctrines which without
question are worse foes Of trades
unionism and of trades unionists than
all the other organizations ever formed
to combat the union movement.
Public opinion must endorse trades
unionism II 1t is to maintain the high
standing it has reached and II it is to
attain the higher destiny sought by
the far-seeing men who have guided
the principal labor organizations for
the past two or three decades. And In.
formed public opinion will be found
always on the side of fairness. Appeals
to self-seeking politicians and to the
personal greed Of selfish workmen
may win temporary victories. but
every victory so earned Is in fact
blow to the movement as whole and
an injury to the workers who make up
the rank and file of trades union1sm.
To those who, like The Courier. Tor
many years have watched the progress
Of the trades union movement with
sympathy, It is disappointment to
learn that the strikers at San Fran.
cisco have rejected arbitration and
chosen to injure the nation at this crit
ical period by stopping work on ships
ard airplanes just now. the two most
important factors in Americas cam.
paign for world democracy and for hor
own permanence as a government.

1hELessoN OF vERpuN.

Herbert Corey Is one American war
correspondent who does not, as rule,
permit himself to be carried away by
optimism. Though he Is cheerful
enough in his personal relations, Mr..
Corey has a faculty of picking the pes
simistic side of many serious topics
when he finds himself before his type.
writer. When he does permit himself
to write enthusiastically he demands
abundant justification if he Is to avoid
reservations entirely. All OF which
makes him valuable as war cores
pondent because his readers need not
discount encouraging news for over
enthusiasm.
In view of these facts, it is pleasing
to read a recent dispatch from MT.
Corey dealing with the recent French
victory at Verdun by which General
Petain won back the positions which
the German crown prince had seized
year ago.
This victory, Mr.! Corey declares, OF.
fers the first important indication that
the German strength is really break
ing. He backs his own judgment with
assertions by American officers OF
high rank who witnessed the fighting,
one OF whom he quotes as saying that
the French infantry went through the
German lines as II the latter suddenly
had become soft"
At Verdun, Mr. Corey says, the Ger
mans we're unable to bring up men.
Always before they had seemed to
have fnexhaustible supplies OF re-
serves, but this time this was not the
case. The Germans were not cowed.
They fought until they were killed or
captured, but their defense lacked the
yerve and the confidence that had
characterized tho German line in other
such fights. They lacked the final
ounce OF spirit which carries the
knockout punch.
The Germans knew the verdun at
tack was being planned days before it
was delivered. They were not sur
prised. They had ample time to obtain
reserves II reserves had been obtain
able along the battle line.
The only explanation, Mr.. Corey be-
lieves-and his estimate appears to be
sounds that Germany's man power
is becoming exhausted. She has, as he
phrases it, reached the bottom OF the
barrel.
He does not intimate that this
means an early finis to the war In.
deed he Is explicit in denying such
conclusion. He cites the facts as he
found them merely as an indication
that. after all, the German strength is
neither irresistible nor inexhaustible.
He believes the United States forces
will prove to hold the balance of power
which will bring ultimate-though not
eariy-victory for the allied enemies
of the kaiser.

It Is not to be expected that strong
argument would be presented against

LAW AND ENFORCEMENT.

The clever manner In which some
coal operators are circumyenting the
president. the coal administrator and
the general public is remarkable for
its simplicity and ingenious thorough
ness. but 1t does not offer great en-
couragement to the consumer who ex-
poets to purchase his coal as he may
need 1t during the coming winter.
An Iowa retailer visited Chicago last
week and endeavored to buy car Of
Illinois coal from producer with
whom he had been dealing for years.
He met with refusal, but was In.
formed that although the operators
output for the next sixty days was un-
der contract, it would be possible to
contract buyer.
But the price must be on the $3.50
basis which prevailed before the
president cut the mine mouth figure
for Illinois. with bonus for the con-
tract buyer Of 25 cents ton over that
price.
The operator, meanwhile, offered to
accept an order for future shipment,
sometime after sixty days, the price
to be fixed by the market quotation on
the date of shipment and not by the
presidents edict. He would not guar
antee shipment even then, however.
The Iowa man found that other Illi-
nois operators and jobbers were tell
Ing their customers the same sort OF
story.
Legal. perhaps. but not at all In &C
cordance with expectations which
were born of the presidents orders
and the enthusiastic announcements
Of DR.. Garfield.
One major weakness OF the Lever
law. as The Courier pointed out sew
eral weeks ago, is its provision which
upholds all contracts which were in
effect when the law itself became eff
fective This Is an invitation to oper.
ators to stretch the truth q trifle. and
an additional impetus is afforded them
in the attitude OF DR.. Garfield and
President Wilson, both OF whom have
refrained from accepting the advice OF
coal mine owners in fixing prices and
conditions for the trade.
In Or. Garfield's rather indefinite
statement promising proper prices and
adequate coal supply to consumers.
considerable stress is laid on the hope
that operators and industrial coal
users Will cooperate with the admin
istrator But there is little indication
at present that the hope will be real
lied.
Meanwhile the season is approach
ing rapidly when coal will be in con-
! slant demand, and many consumers
are risking shortage in the confident

To restrict yourself, to put hand

Enlist to defeat this plot against
democracy.
If it is true, which The Courier
doubts, that the brewery workers
union Is responsible financially for this
propaganda, 1t follows that 1t must
have come from outside OF Iowa, for
there are no breweries in this state
and therefore no reason for brewery
Workmen. 1t is possible that liquor
interests In Rock Island, which have
profited and still are profiting greatly
by Illicit sales OF liquor to Iowa boot
leggers, have paid for the printing and
distribution of the literature.

worthy of consideration Iowa is dry
and prefers to stay dry. A constitu-

The institutions of democracy will be
served by Iowans' action in governing
themselves and fixing their own con-
ditions, without interference or dcta-
ton from brewery workers or others
in Illinois or the Kingdom Of Scott
county,
AS proof that there is no real argu-
ment against prohibition, the so-called
appeal is chiefly notable. AS an indi-
cation that the liquor interests must
resort not only to henchmen outside Of
Iowa but to weak and senseless ap-
peals to prejudice instead of genuine
argument this bit of wet" literature is
quite interesting.
The war and its demands for the
highest physical, mental and moral ef-
ficiency have brought to the attention
of the people Of Iowa and all America
the damaging effect of alcoholic bev-
erages. The saloon question has re-
solved itself merely into one Of wheth-
er people want to retain their. faculties
unimpaired or reduce their efficiency
by drinking liquors. There can be but
one logical answer. There is no argu-
ment to oppose it.
