CESS.

San Diego, CAL, May %, 1917.
My dear Morrison:
I am under obligation to some
one for several issues of the Rip
saw. I am reminded thereby of
the very kind things that you and
W. A. Washburne said about me
over 20 years ago when [ was
candidate for office and you
were publishing "live wire"
free lance paper. Do you recall
the hot editions you put out in
that campaign?
I hope you will succeed, both
professionally and financially
with the "Rip-saw." 1t is vigor.
GUS, clean cut and effective. It
will be the main instrument in
drawing corruption out Of the
county auditors office and SINH
lar places. ] wish you continued
success.
Yours most truly,
GEO. B. LAYBOURN.

closing saloons to any men in
military or naval uniform. The
uniform of United States soldiers
never should be seen in a jail.
"No man wearing it should
ever be placed in a Jail. If a
soldier chooses to disgrace him.
self, he should not be permitted
also to disgrace his uniform.
"But the blame for conditions
which have been, and these are
exactly what were to be expected
when permitted, is only to an ex-
tent with the soldier boys:
"Liquor should have been kept
away from them and they should
have been kept away from liq-
uor. Moreover, they have had
too much liberty and the Arm
Dry and the camps have been too
free of approach to young girls.
American cities have not yet
learned how to handle such con-
ditions. Their pride in the uni
form has overlooked the fact
that, regardless Of all else, young
men are not plaster saints
"Since making the order Mr..
Silberstein has found that he
acted according to the new fed
eral law which was passed, but
thoughtfully the federal author
tiles refrained from notifying the
states of the fact"

autocracy could not deliver a
raore un-Christ-like TRADE against
cid England than Rev. Sunday
expresses in his prayer against
poor, sick, deluded Germany, just
because he had been spurned by
a man who was true to his own
country, ruler and personal sense
Of propriety.
This Prayer Of Hate makes the
most misguided I. w. w. seem
like Sunday school teacher and
it also helps one feel that Rev.
Billy Sunday is very much a
Howling Dedvish.
One man like the late DR.. G. G.
Salter is worth more than a
thousand blatant Billy Sundays.
We cannot help wishing that
sanity DR.. Salter could come
back and Billy Sunday would
stay away.

SILBERSTEIN'S SPLURGE.

A few nights ago, the police
authorities gathered in thirty or
forty violators Of the automobile
regulations. Many were justly
nabbed and, probably, a few had
valid excuses for their lapse in
Regulation observance.
We have had our trousers spat-
tered with mud too many times
and compelled to jump wildly too
often to shed any tears over any
fragrant violators Of the auto
mobile regulations, especially
those criminally careless chaps
who run cars while intoxicated.
Some highly representative citis
zens were gathered in and some
Of them feel aggrieved. The more
logical minds find no great fault
except over the fact that enforce
ment Of regulations is periodical
end spasmodic, with very long
lapses between raids, so to speak.
They believe that Commissioner
Silberstein should keep firm,
steady hand on the situation,
rather than engage in a spectacu-
lar raid enthusiastically.
Even automobile owners COM
plain against the failure Of the
Silberstein prestige to put an end
to parking cars along prominent
streets. Saturday nights, partic
ularly, it is impossible to get into
some Of the leading business
places because of this parking
and that habit, too, makes it diff
ficult for conveyances of any
kind to get up and down the
roadway.

HALDEN SEES HIS FINISH.

Odln Halden, county auditor,
has. been charged with actions
unbecoming a faithful servant of
the people. He has been charged
with neglect Of duty. He has
been charged with building up
a personal political monopoly at
the expense of the people. He
has been charged with acts detri-
mental to the county treasury and
the pockets of the taxpayers. He
is charged with being an Official
loafer, manipulation, schemer, boss
and even some things that need
not now be repeated.
Auditor Halden does not deny
the impeachments. He stands
mute. Like the boy who stole
the jam, he has nothing to say.
He knows that he is guilty, as
charged by the people. The PEG.
pie propose to pass sentence of
perpetual exile from the royal
quarters in the marble-lined
courthouse, provided the COVER
nor and the courts do not beat
them to it.
Auditor Haldin's spidery, web
spinning days soon will be over.
Whether his future be a feast or
a famine, it will be entirely out
side the courthouse and not heav-
lily at the expense of kindly old
St. Louis county.
A few more short months shall
roll and then Auditor Halden will
find it impossible to help his
Ichums grab commissions from the
treasury in return for selling
bonds that probably would have
sold themselves at premium.
A few more brief months and
Auditor Halden will not have &C.
casion to wear off his surplus
flesh lobbying at the capitol
building for the Big Interests
and the HaIden Machine, when he
should be auditing in the audi
tors office in the city of Duluth,
county of St. Louis and state of
Minnesota.
A little breathing spell and
then the complacent county com
missioners, administering the af.
fairs of kindly old st. Louis
county, will be compelled to use
their own hands, brains and com
mon sense. They will have no
royal highness to plan, plot, pre-
pare, dictate and control in their
stead.
A few short months shall roll
and then if Auditor Halden visits
the Big, Interests in their lairs,
ne will do it ON his own time and

A TRAITOR TO CHRIST.

A New York press report states
that Franz Won Rintelen, kins-
man Of Kaiser Wilhelm, refused
to shake hands with Rev. Billy
Sunday, the notorious religious
vaudeville artist, because that
sanctified P. T. Barnum had at
tackled Germany and the En-
peror.
Rev. Sunday was much piqued
because his handshake was re-
fused and is represented as going
to the tabernacle and delivering
Is prayer as follows:
"Oh, Jesus! Don't let a single
seed sprout in a land fortified
with human bones. Damn a
country like that. I don't pray
for them. The sooner we damn
them, the better off we are"
Love is the very foundation of
the Christian religion. That So
called prayer breathcs nothing
but hate. The meek and lowly
Jesus Christ told his followers
to love those who despitefully
use them. When nailed to the
cruel cross. suffering bodily pain
and Travelling in mental anguish,
he did not ask that his enemies

forgive them, since they knew
not what they did.

A PERMANENT PUBLICATION

The Duluth Rip-saw came into
existence as a campaign measure.
The public received it with en-
thusiasm. The rapid growth in
public favor is one of the wonders
of St. Louis county journalism. 1t
has been decided to make the paper
permanent. In other words, "The
Rip-saw has come to stay"
The office has been established
at No. 22l Fargusson building.
The paper will be issued every
two weeks-twice a month-until
patronage warrants publication once
a week, when it will be printed
weekly. Application will be made
Immediately for admission to the
mails as second class matter. The
subscription, price will be 9Z'OO a
year, IN advance.
To date, the Rip-saw has printed
and circulated 5000 copies an Issue
with the exception of one week
when only 1000 were printed. The
public demand soon will require a
much larger edition. Many inter-
esting and instructive features will
be presented from time to time.
Real facts in plain words will be a
firm policy. The taxpayers and
voters are entitled to know what is
going on in St. Louis county. The
Duluth Rip-saw will help them in
keeping informed.
The Duluth Rip-saw office now
is ready to receive subscriptions at
$500 a year. Advertising privileges
will be offered as soon as plans can
be worked out.
Thanking the powerful public of
kindly old St. Louis county for the
appreciation and approval shown
to date, this announcement most
respectfully is made.

A PLAIN DUTY.

The commissioner OF the city
of Duluth not only propose to
have a universal Scent street
car fare but, to get it, they have
unanimously passed a resolution
to condemn and buy the prop
erty of the Duluth Street Rail-
way company.
There are two very important
matters that the commissioners
should not overlook, viz:
They should at once start ways
and means for acquiring the IN
dependent trolly system on Min
nesota Point, across the canal,
a system that requires the plain,
humble people in that section of
the city to pay a single fare OF Z
cents, for a ride that rarely ex-
ceeds three miles in length.
No serious fault honestly can
be found with the service over
there, but the payment Of a sim
gle fare of seven cents rankles,
hurts and rubs against the raw.
If Minnesota Point really is a
portion Of the city Of Duluth,
that seven-cent fare should be
wiped out, p. d. q.
Secondly, prompt, vigorous and
ample procedure should be taken
Immediately to give New Duluth
the trolley line extension it so
badly needs and for which it has
waited so many long, weary
years.
If Mr.. Hartley's suit ever
comes to trial, the decision will
be too late to give New Duluth
the street cars this year, even if
the company wins and becomes
amenable to public needs.
If condemnation proceedings
are started, it may be two or
three years before the city &C
quires the street car system. The
people of New Duluth cannot
and should not have to wait that
long.
The people of New Duluth not
only should demand that the city
build the extension but that the
Minnesota Steel company be or
dered to prepare the roadway;
the U. S.. Steel corporation re-
quested to furnish the city the
rails that have been promised the
street car company, then an is
sue Of bonds should be author
lied and bond buyers, even Mr..
Hartley, invited to buy.
With quick, prompt action, all
this can be accomplished before
snow falls. The people of New
Duluth can really and truly be-
come residents Of the city. Prop
erty owners IN that suburb can
be saved loss, worry and even
bankruptcy. A number of new
industries, favorable to location
out there, can be cinched and
the work of establishment COM
menced.
If these things be not done,
then the voters of Minnesota
Point, New Duluth, Gary and
such other sections as believe in
fair play and justice, should rise
up In their wrath and make
themselves heard at the next
election, or even practice a bit
with the recall.

BA GOSH! YOU NEVER CAN TELL
WHAT YOU ARE GETTING

Judge Lands sort of butted in on
the question Of butter or butterine,
as served to patrons of Chicago's eat
places, yesterday, and in so doing
signified much surprise. that some
Of the bills against H. H. KOhlsaat &
Co. were for bUtterine.
'What?H snapped Lands. do
you mean to say that this company
served butterine to its customers?
Did they buy it white and color it
themselves? Did the customers
know what they were getting or did
they think they were getting country
butter?"
This all happened when a credit
Ors' committee asked permission to
take over the KOhlsaat business.
This body said they could get $685.
900 for the seven KOhlsaat restaUr-
ants. Lands said he could get more
and ordered the places sold at aUc-
ton in his court next Monday morn

Judge John SteIk in the court of
domestic relations heard her story
as she and Atty J. B. O'COnnell, who
had interested himself in the case,
told it. He heard PanitO's plea that
his wife had the mind of a child of
ten, and, therefore the children
should be taken from her and put to
be raised with a friend Of his.
The judge told Panito that it was
he who was wrong. That he knew
when he welded Of the condition Of
her mind. He reminded the husband
Of the phrase in the marriage ,cere-
mOny For better or for worse, till
death do us part.
That you think your lot is that of
the worse is no reason why you
should dodge your responsibility"
said Stelk. IF your wife is, only a
child in mind, that is all the more
reason you should be with her, pro-
tecting her.
The children will remain with
her, and if you don't go back to her,
you must pay SIS a week for their
support"

A STORY THAT COMES FROM
THE POPULAR GAME OF
CHANCE-MARRlAGE
For better or for worse!
When Ralph PanitO back in 1913
stood up before the minister and said
Yes" to those words, it may be as
sumed that he meant it,
Most men enter the marriage
ceremony with firm conviction that
they will love and cherish always, no
matter what crosses and trials may
come
Marriage is a lottery; sometimes
the turn of the wheel brings you
queen, and sometimes it stops on a
bad number. Sometimes the one
who seems a queen turns out a
deuce. Dan Cupid's aim is often
quite imperfect.
Ralph and Ida were married when
she was IA years old. Her friends
say her father told the young lover
that Ida was mentally defective, but
he said he did not care; he loved her,
he had butcher shop, made good
money and would protect her; he
would marry her, anyway.
But things did not move smoothly
for the young butcher and his bride.
They separated. She says he desert
ed her three years after the cere-
mony; that he left her twice in a
year. Twins came to her when she
was 16 years old, but PanitO went
away again, she said.
She was so young to be a mother
that for a long time she was quite i'll.
With the care they got at the Chi
cago Commons the twins, however,
prospered. Mrs. PanitO got a job
with the National Biscuit Co. It only
paid 81 a week, but that was some !
thing.
