At Gettysburg they saved the day,
though terrible their fall,

That gallant desperate charge saved

They faced a glorious death for the

around a dangerous corner and up
a steep grade, not only endangers
life, lowers public respect for his
official position but encourages
others to become reckless and law
less.
The peace officer who roars
today about what terrible and GER
tain punishment will be inflicted
on the violator of an ordinance
and then, right afterwards, per-
mits serious infractions of that
ordinance, without official inter-
ference, follows a course than can
have only harmful results.
The safety commissioner or the
chief Of police who permits a
favored few to safely violate laws
and ordinances but sternly and

such attractions, takes a long step
towards encouraging lawlessness,
lack of regard of law and the es-

BLIND PIGS; BLIND CHIEF.

Commissioner Silberstein has
been uttering fire and smoke,
through his press agent, as a re-
suit of what he is going to do to
any and all blind pigs.
That commissioner Silberstein is
going to utilize the laws of the
city of Duluth instead of employ
ing an occasional chunk Of Sill
berstein Prestige, is good news.
But the voluble commissioner
probably will be clumsy for a time.
He has neglected to practice him
self and the police force in the
art and duty of sticking blind
pigs. We urged such course
many weeks ago but the honor
able gentleman probably was too
holly engaged in the Battle of
the Banners to hear our feeble
voice.
The indications are, also, that
commissioner Silberstein either
will have to send his chief Of
police to a good occulist or else
trade him off to the Missabe ore
docks and seek a new chief. There
certainly is something the matter
with the eyes of the genial chief.
