MUST PROTECT PEOPLES RIGHTS
JAIL FOR COAL PRoFITEERS
Herald Examiner.


After months of apprehensive wait
ing the country is told that the coal
mines are about to resume operations.
There have been grave fears, especial
ly in territories distant from the mine
fields, that there would be coal famine
this Winter.
If there are no further delays, if the
mines are worked at full capacity, and
if the output is carefully apportioned
and honestly distributed, these fears
should be groundess.
But the public is easily alarmed.
The first touch of Autumn frosts max es
an empty coal bin seem the omen of a
Winter of suffering.
Unfortunately there are always un.
scrupulous dealers ready to take adj
vantage of such panic by charging
robber prices for coal 1t spells gold
en- opportunity for them, just as panic
in a crowded street spells opportunity
for pickpockets.
The miners are going back to work
at the old wages. There can be no
reason, therefore, for higher coal prices.
1t is governmental duty to see that
no higher prices are charged. Just az
machinery has already been set up to
secure proper distribution. the respon-
sible officials should see that there is
no profteering in coal prices.
That is what is meant by protecting
the rights of the people. Those rights
are supreme they are higher than the
rights of mine operators or of mine
workers.
The people must have coal this Win
trr. They are entitled to that coal at
fair and honest prices
The man who violates that right, the
man who takes advantage of public
necessity or public alarm to charge ex-
orbitant prices, is just as much felon
as the hghwayman who robs his victims
in the dark.
In the World War, the greatest dis
grace of the United States was the
profiteering of conscienceless scoundrels
who took advantage of the nations's
need.
Let as have no such disgrace in times
of peace.
The national government and the
state governments should cooperate to
see that such profteers are promptly
and mercilessly punished They should
serve notice now on all concerned that
the charging of exorbitant prices on
coal will be prosecuted to the limit OF
the law.
The penalty for coal profteerinp

Well Pleased With Service Rendered.

While driving his car recently in Chi
cago, r. j. Martin had the unpleasant
experience of having young man step
in front of his car in such manner
that it was impossible to avoid striking
him. MIR. Martin did the proper thing
by taking the young man to a ply stefan
to be examined and have few scratches
attended to. After arriving home Mr..
Martin filed his claim with the local
agent of the Wisconsin Automobile Mu-
tual Insurance Co. for first aid. The
same was sent in August 18th and the
check for the full amount of the claim
delivered to him on August 10th. Other
claims presented this well known com
pany have been settled in an equally
satisfactory manner.

Dance Ordinance Passed.

An ordinance was passed by the

dance halls at midnight, imposing an
annual license fee of $40 on dance halls,
fixing fee of SO for each dance, re-
curing the presence of matron or
other city official at each dance with
pay of SO per dance, forbidding the
attendance of persons under 10 and re-
curing, for those between l6 and Is, a
chaperon and the permission of parent
or guardian. The ordinance is modelled
after the Madison ordinance.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR IN BLOOM.

Mineral Point Commandery No. IL,
Knights Templar entertained members
within their jurisdiction, Friday eve
ming, with banquet and comforting
the degrees upon class from Blanch-
ardville and Argyle.
1t was like home coming; Sir
Knights from Dodgeville, Barneveld,
Livingston, Blanchardville, Argyle,
South Wayne, Gratiot and Darlington
being present. The comforting of de-
gress was begun at 3 p m. and con-
cluded at 1890 p. m, with an intermis-
sion for supper, which was served by
the ladies of the Eastern Star. The
Masonic Orchestra furnished music dur
ing the refreshment hour to the delight
of all. The Misses Eloise James and
Nettie Wallis rendered a piano duet
with such pleasing effect that nothing
but more would satisfy their hearers.
B. L. Dunwiddie as POSTMASTER
called upon representative from the
different localities, and the responses
had a Masonic pith that was exhilarat-
ing. Much praise was given the supper
and the Commandery in comforting the
degrees and the hospitality shown them
The sentiment that it was always
a pleasure to come to Mineral Point
was plainly visible among all visitors.
The response on behalf of the Com
mandery was made by Rev. Schoenfeld
