they are being gouged on the price of
hard coal as a result of the action OF
the local company, without any pre-
vious announcement of the advance
ment. At the same time the local
company dropped the price of soft
coal $1.50 per ton.
The first intimation that anyone
had that the price of hard coal was
to be advanced or the price of soft
coal was to be lowered was when
they appeared at the local office of
the fuel company to place their
orders for coal and learned of the
price change.
The only comment made on the
subject by Superintendent Gibson
when asked regarding the price
change was "that the price of hard
coal has been too low and is now on
a basis with Duluth and Superior"
If this is true then the price of soft
coal must have been too high and
was lowered for the same reason.
To the ordinary person there is as
little reason for an advance in the
price of coal at this time as there
is for laughter at funeral. The
coal which Washburn people are COM
PEELED to buy was brought to this
city during the late part of the sum-
mer. Usually the coal company has
"a summer schedule of prices which
reach the low ebb in the spring and
hold low until September when there
is slight advance each month un-
til the mid-winter season when it
remains stationary until spring. This
we assume was done in order to have
patrons of the company put in their
winter supply of coal during the
summer season before the rush
starts, but this season there was not
a pound of hard coal on hand at the
local docks until November when
the price was set at $14.95 per ton
for hard coal of the nut size. People
were generally lead to believe thatA
this price would remain throughout
the winter months and for this rea-
son many people failed to put in
their winter supply but intended to
purchase their coal as needed.
Now the advance in prices comes
when people are low on coal and will
be compelled to pay the higher price
for the coal which they will need.
The coal on the docks of the fuel
company in this city does not cost
any more today than it did month
ago. The carrying charge could
hardly amount to $1.05 per ton be-
cause of the fact that it has remain
ed on tbs dock for about two months.
If the carrying charge applied to
hard coal the same would also apply
to soft coal which has been lowered.
The advanced freight rates could not
possibly affect the coal on the local
docks at this time for this coal was
brought from the lower lake ports
by boats and is delivered from the
docks by teams to the consumers in
this city.
Washburn people have no other
recourse than to pay the price and
look pleasant for this season. Wash
burn is entirely dependent on the
local company for their supply for
this winter, at least.

MY MOTHER SAYS
Cone Minute Speech)

My mother says / must learn to
obey. She says a man who does
not respect authority is only half a
man. Children should obey their
parents because that shows respect
for parents law. It is disgrace
to be bad, saucy child.
When we go to school we obey
school rules. 1t is shame to be
disobedient pupil.
Men and women are but grown
up boys and grown-up girls. AS
men and women the law of our land
is the authority that we must re-
spect. We send men to Congress
and to oul state legislatures to make
our laws. When we vote to send
them we really mean this: "We
give you the power to make laws
for us. That is your part. We will
lobey the laws. That is our part.
If you make the wrong kind of
laws, or what we think is the wrong
kind, we will obey them just the
same. We will obey them to the
| letter. We will obey them in the
spirit. If those laws work well,
we will change our minds, and say
they are good laws after all. If
| the laws prove to be bad laws, then
/! we will change or amend them"
Law is law. We propose to obey
every law while it is on the statute
book. A good American can do
nothing less. We expect our officers
| to enforce the law, and then we will
stand by our officers.
