CURE FOR COPPERIIEADESM
TCarroH Herald.


We must not be surprised II copper
heads are discovered crawling in the
grass as loyal people tread the paths
of duty during this war. There always
have been copperheads and there al
ways will be. Loyal people have had
way Of dealing with coppsrheads in
the past and they win continue in the
same way in the future.
During the civil war there was a nest
OF copperheads down in Keokuk
county, county that had contributed
its quota Of brave boys to the union
army. Some Of these boys. while home
on furlough. we're tainted and insnlted
by those reptiles who occasionally
came out Of the brush. The boys con-
cluded to proceed against them in the
most approved manner. So they sen:
committee to Iowa City to lay the
case before Samuel Jones Kirkwood,
Iowa's noted war governor. After hear
ing the boys statement Governor
Kirkwood said:
Boys, go home and wear your uni
forms. go about as if you were Uncle
Sans defenders, fighting for the life OF
the nation. If any Of those copper
heads hiss their treason In your faces
them on the spot You will be ar
rested. tried for murder. and most
likely convicted and sentenced. But
by -, they won't hang you. For

The boys went home and it is report

SLOW uows TO TWENTY m,les.

If all autos were always held down
to twenty miles per hour there would
seldom ever be an accident of any
kind. but they are not, hence the death
toll in Iowa in one days reports reads
as follows:
One Kellogg man killed, Monday eve
ming near Colfax, two little girls and
a boy bruised when their car rounded
corner too fast and turned turtle.
a baby killed in the, arms of its
gr~ dmother near Abba Tuesday when
their auto crashed into another auto
and turned over because il was goins
so fast the brakes would not stop it.
A boy killed Sunday and his father
nearly dead at Stuart because they
drove too fast and the car skid
ded and turned over when the brakes
were applied suddenly.
4 doctors wife is lying at deaths
door in Cedar Rapids because her hus-
band smashed into another car with
his car on a bridge.
Two women have broken legs and a
man was knocked senseless, lying un-
conscious for hours at Walnut be-
cause he speeded around another car
and crashed into a third car.
This is only the list of one days
news columns. Yesterday in Marshall
county we had six colored people
MANNED and injured because the driV-
er lost control Of his Ford car on
level road driving too fast. Tomorrow
in Iowa we will have more dead and
wounded from excessive automobile
speed. 1t will ever be thus until motor
cars can be driven mostly under twenty
miles an hour.

TO Guy OR NOT 10 GUY coal.

| To buy coal now or not to buy is the
the coal barons who own the mines had
killed the goose that was TO lay the
golden egg for the public is not buying
its coal during the summer even to a
normal amount. Local dealers turnout
the country are unable to move even
an average amount But what is going
L. be the result?
The Black Diamond, a coal trade
journal, explains that the problem il
merely one of mathematics. The nation
consumes l.S25,O 600 tons of coal per day
and produces 2,213,0O0 tons per day but
the nation consumes for 800 working
days per annum while the mines here
tofore have operated only $50 days in
the year. Consumption has increased
enormously in all the munitions fac
tories hence the mines must run nine
teen more days than they ever ran be-
fore or the nation will be out of coal.
In order to run the dealers must take
the coal away from the mines as fast
as it comes up out of the ground and if
the people will not buy during the sum-
mer the dealers can't take the coal and
there we are.
the great lakes, is scared. Ordinarily
there should be 100000 tons of coal
stored on the docks at Duluth at this
time of year when there are only $780,
900 tons there now. The cold northwest
may be badly in need of i this win
ter and likewise everybody else.
Prices are so high and the promise
that congress might take the coal bar
ons by the throat before winter sets
in has caused the public to hesitate
and the goose is on strike. The gold
en- eggs for .e coal baron are not being
laid.
Illinois coal is costing $3.50 per ton
at the mines under the compromise
agreement with Secretary of the Inter
Tor Lane which the war and navy de-
partments would not accept for gov
per ton freight TO ship that coal to Iowa
leaving $40 margin for the retail
dealer who puts the coal in the con-
sumer's bin at $3.50 per ton. Dealers
estimate that 1t costs fully $3.50 per
ton exclusive Of proprietor's wages or
profit to handle coal and deliver <.
This includes p cents for unloading,
loading and delivery, % cents for
shrinkage. II. cents for general office
expense, l3 cents for yard labor, II
cents for interest on investment anc
Is cents for tncidentals. Twenty cents
dealer $4,000 profit If ne could sell a
thousand customers at ten tons each
The trouble is not so much with the
local dealers or freight rates as with
the mine owners. Their costs >of mining
have increased from % to 40 cents
while their price has gone up Sis.
Can they get away with it2 They are not
having the summer success that they
expected but what are the people going
TO do for cool next winter? That is
the rub unless a man has a wood lot
near by and if he has he ought to work
it this year as an act of patriotism to
relieve the pressure on poor devils in
the cities who have neither wood nor
coal.
