But the dignity of the law has been
violated, and these funerals are
the outcome. Such officials are
working with the undertaken, not
with the health officer. Yes,
Americans are crimin allv negligent
in the enforcement of law. That's
plain as the nose on YOUR face
This is onlv a single illustration
of what happens often when con-
tagious diseases come into a COM
munity.
What is to be done with this at
titude on law generally and health
laws in particular You say, whv
not educate the people in public
health work? This the state board
of health wishes most emphatically
to do. In many instances it works
wonders. In others you might as
we'll pour water on a ducks back
Educating people will go on. and
where it works, all well and good
But where it doesn't, what then!
We once had virile president oi
this America, who created weap'
on against bad trusts. The big
stick. This is a good instrument
when all else fails. Cut out the
pull and the plunks. and use the
big stick. This end of the law is
there for such cases. It will gen.
crate greater respect for health
laws. The only way to educate
some very bad children is to lick
'em. It's just as true of some
grown Americans.-Dr. Swimmer.

Chicago in spots is shocked
A baby born there has been per-
mitted to die. This was the
physicians advice. An operation
might have enabled it to live and
might have hastened death. Had
it lived it would have been a hope
less cripple.
One side of the face was para
lyzed, one ear was lacking, one
eye was blind, the shoulders were
malformed, add it was neckless.
But it was for an internal trouble
the operation was considered.
Possibly the world has lost a
genius. Possibly it has been
saved another incompetent.
Certainly the mother has been
saved her remaining life time of
sorrow, sadness and confning
care. The brothers and sisters
have been saved family skeleton
that would have warped their
lives and unwholesomelv affected
their minds. The baby itself has
been saved a lifetime of unhap-
piness even if it had developed an
unnatural talent amounting to
genius.
The mother thinking not of her.
self but of the child, acquiesced in
its doom. The physician, wise
and humane in his judgment, re-
ferred his critics to public condi-
tions that permit a black hand out
rage each week, thousand abor-
tions a day, and death or serious
accident from automobiles each
round of the clock. He could
have gone further in his indict-
ment if only to recall the parade
of 100, 900 in favor of open saloons
on Sunday.
But what will eugenists do as
to this case? The father and
mother are both fine physical be-
ings. They are above the average
in bodily perfection. They have
three entirely normal. healthy,
sound-bodied children. How
then must they account for this
poor little subnormal, deformed
waif that came from such a union?

America makes more laws than
any other civilized nation, and
Americans break more of them
than they keep. What use then,
is law in tins nation? We are very
frank about our law-breaking, of
the commenting upon the fact,
when called to our attention, as if
there were some virtue to it.
We stand in strong contrast with
some other countries of the world.
In them the law-breaker has his"
handed to him none too politely,
by the burly policeman, or the mil
itary gendarme. What is the mat
ter with America then? We legis-
late against everything from cor
porations to con-gamesters, and
regulate everything from suffra-
gettes to sucking pigs. What S
the matter with us? Why don t
we keep all these laws?
Well, we do observe federal law
better than state law, and why?
Because Uncle Sam has a way of
getting the law-breaker, in spite of
pull and plunks. We have quite a
decent respect for Uncle Sam S
laws. But the state laws have been
more or less farce in many ways.
Why? Pull and Plunks.
This being the case, how can
laws on any particular matter be
enforced? Minnesota has splendid
laws governing public health, with
regulations added thereto. How
much use are they? This can only
be estimated by the way they are
observed and enforced.
The health laws of the state say
that whooping cough is a con-
tagious disease. 1t causes twice as
many deaths as scarlet fever. The
laws says that such cases must be
isolated. No child having it can
attend school. Yet there are town.
ships in this state, where an
epidemic of this fatal disease is re-
garded as a sort of picnic. Every
one gets it, and gives it to every
one else. The officers of the town.
ship sit around, either ignorant of
the law-which is no excuse-or
they simply wink at conditions.
They don't enforce the law. Some
body's baby dies. They send
flowers, and say sympathetic words.

establishment of such a plant are
obvious. In the first place, this
city is almost within speaking
distance of great iron ore supply
and at its doors is one of the model
steel mills of the United States.
Thus the raw material is close at
hand. Furthermore, the trans
portation facilities with which Du-
luth is provided, by lake and rail
are distinct point in its favor"

THERE is some prospect of an
appeal being taken to the courts
from the rulings of Commissioner
Works in the insurance rate cut
ordered by him in the northern
sections of the state. In case this
does happen, it is to be hoped that
this section to be affected by the
cut will rally to the support of the
Commissioner and assist him in
every possible manner to equelize
the injustice in the rates.

FROM Montana comes the WORD
that the Western Federation OF
Miners, the red flag outfit of law
breakers, has run its course and is
now bankrupt and practically
defunct. It is said the outfit owes
so much money that it will never
be able to get out from under and
while an amount equal to liabilities
has been constantly paid into the
treasury by the misguided and
working members of the outlawed
association, the presidents and
secretaries of locals have gotten a
little of the cash but the main
Doodle was copped by Mover,
Mahoney and others higher up
who have waxed fat, wealthy and
saucy on the spoils squeezed from
the man underground. The push
on the downward path of oblivion
was given the Federation when the
copper country strike was called a
couple of years ago. The mining
concerns of that country fought
them tooth and nail at that time
and conquered the unsavory outfit.
Had the Federation secured a
foothold there every range in this
state, Wisconsin and Michigan
would have felt the sting and the
mining activity would have been
sorely hampered. There are few
of the outfit left in Ely at the
present time but they are meek
and lowly and if putting forth any
efforts it is done under cover of
secrecy. We call to mind just at
this time one of the outfit who was
sent here two years or so ago from
Montana to work up sentiment.
He was unable to get in at the
mines but secured a position in the
city where his feeble efforts have
been directed towards securing
members. He secured some but
only just enough to keep him in
curtailed spending money besides
the small stipends sent to head
quarters to help fatten the Meyer
person. 1t is we'll that the outfit
is rapidly passing away and the
sister organization the I. w. w.
(I Won't Work. clan should
follow in the disintegrating process.
1t might also be said just at present
that the red flag followers of the
range towns are just little mum
and that their fighting blood has
thinned in the face of the happen
ings in the European countries
and to where they are Invited to
go in case they want a scrap.
However, the Stars and Stripes
look good just now to the diciples
of the Anarchistic red rag and eats
and a pay check in Ely is far
preferable to life in the trenches
for Russia.

Kissing may be INDUCED in with
perfect safety now, providing you
follow the precautions laid down
by the American Social Hygiene
associations: Cut out square OF
tissue paper, give it bath in anti

said to prevent the kiss doing you
any harm-providing you don't
wear out the paper or break
through it.-May Stanley in News
