NOT A MERE ECHO.

The chap who said his idea Of
a successful college was himself
on one end Of log and Mark
Hopkins on the other end,
should have known the Bear
River Journal. Somewhere up,
above and back of Hibbing, far
remote from the busiest haunts
of men and entirely out of hear
ing Of the iron horses snort,
Col. G. F. Peterson puts out a
paper that is a pleasure to re-
ceive. Why such a writer puts
his light under a bushel we wot
not. It smacks somewhat of
hunting ducks with a cannon

Thanks! The editor is glad to
note the Rip-saw is keeping out
Of the "parrot" class of papers
that are mere echoes of sordid
greed environment, and it is with
pleasure and profit that we Pc
ruse it's column. In spite Of our
isolation we have a disposition
to print things as we see and
understand them. The news
paper brethren have dealt kindly
with us, because they have un-
derstood, and our living in the
backwoods and among the pines
is as oft an inspiration as a pri-
vation.-Bear River journal.

HALDEN'S STAR IS SETTING.

County auditor Halden's star
of destiny is rapidly setting. The
voters of St. Louis county are
DESERVING him steadily and rap
idly. Some of his strongest for
tresses already have fallen.
Others are strongly beleagured
and soon will be blown up or
compelled to surrender. The op-
posing trenches are lined with
strong, effective fighters who
will ego over'' with irresistible
force at the logical time.
Mr.. Halden's apologists find
themselves talking to empty air.
His men-at-arms find themselves
outnumbered and outfought at
every point. His advocates are
as men talking to silent stumps
or inanimate stones. Every
week, even day after day, cogs
and even entire wheels are
smashed in the Halden machine,
utterly beyond repair.
Secret service men who seek
to spy out the hinterlands bring
back sickening reports of deser-
ton, defiance and prestige gone
never to be regained.
Auditor Halden evidently sees
the handwriting on the wall.
Once again he has gone into re-
treat. Public places seldom see
his unctuous smile. Shoulders
seldom are slapped. Aspirants
entirely too infrequently are told,
"Just leave that to me" The
faithful servitors seldom see the
kingly face and are wont to won
der where can be the royal mas
ter.
The face of the man who was
too ambitious to wear the shoes
of boss registers defeat. Take
careful look, dear old voter.
Notice that countenance lined by
regret, marked by remorse, wor-
ried by fear, saddened by defeat
that must come, just as surely
as the stars hang in the sky.
If Odin Halden had served
the common people with half the
zeal that he served the Big In
terests and his own selfish ma
ture, they would not have turned
against him in these abnormal
times, in this, his day of extrem-
ity.
Sentence Of perpetual exile
from the marhe-lined courthouse
has been passed on county audi
tor Halden by the people.

PROGRESSIVENESS IS
HAMPERED.

Last week, the Str. Schneider
arrived at Two Harbors with
nearly 1000 tons Of Hooking coal
for the city coal yard at the ore
dock city. 1t is considered the
best cargo Of coal the city ever
has received. To date, all efforts
to get hard coal have failed.
Although Duluth failed to get
legal authority from the last leg
islature for a municipal coal dock
partly because a portion of the
Duluth delegation considered the
idea a manifestation Of "hys-
teria," the progressive burg of
Two Harbors not only maintains
a municipal coal dock but gets a
big cargo Of coal for it.
Commissioner Phillips was
elected partly on his plank in
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-08-04
FOOD HOGS ARE LOOSE.

There is much evidence in sup
port of the belief that food hogs
are loose in the land. The heavy
cost of light market basket
is a direct, logical and positive
proof.
Comparison of prices between
producer, middleman and con-
sumner are further proof. Com
parison of prices in one locality
with those in another locality af-
fords still further proof.
The producers who boarded
their potatoes found that the
bottom had gone out of the mar
ket when they wished to sell
late in the season. The consum-
er, buying in limited quantity,
failed to reap a corresponding
benefit.
Startling stories Of potatoes and
other perishables, left on side
tracks to freeze or rot, are too
we'll founded to secure belief for
any denials. Food hogs, to boil
ster prices, would rather see
vegetables rot than to let the
prices drop.
Right here in Minnesota, there
are reliable stories of commission
men buying perishables from
producer and then never going
after them or asking delivery.
Being bought, the products could
not be thrown onto the market
to the detriment of high prices.
They could rot where raised to
the advantage of the manipula-
tor who had paid good money
for them.
Take a look at any market
page in any city paper and then
compare the price Of potatoes
with the prices asked at retail
in Duluth.
The associated press tells
about fine tomatoes being sold
in Chicago at forty cents for %
pounds. In Duluth, a decently
ripe and fresh tomato costs
nearly nickel a bite.
Very little relief can come
from any surplus raised this year
around Duluth. The producers
will get a bit of benefit until
freezing weather arrives. After
that, insufficient storage facili-
ties will crimp the surplus. En-
tirely too few producers will
have storage facilities; entirely
too many others will lack money
and skill to construct them; still
others will possess inadequate
transportation facilities.
Even when brought to the city,
food supplies must be peddled
from door to door. No merchant
dare openly follow. any policy OF
patronage Of the producer, under
penalty of being blacklisted by
the powerful middle-men.
From him that hath shall be
taken away even that which he
seemeth to have.

THE FLAG.

Here comes the flag.
Hail it!
Who dares to drag
Or trail It?
Give it hurrahs-
Three for the. stars,
Three for the bars,
Uncover your head to it!
The soldiers who tread to it
Shout at the sight Of 1t,
The justice and right Of it,
The unsullied white of it,
The blue and the red of it
And tyranny's dread Of It!
Here comes the flag!
Cheer it!
Valley and crag
Shall hear It.
Fathers shall bless It,
Children caress it
All shall maintain it.
No one shall stain it.
Cheers for the sailors that fought on
the wave for it,
Cheers for the soldiers that always
were brave for it,
Tears for the men that went down
to the grave for It.
Here comes the flag!

THE MAN WITH SAND.

If you're down and out-discouraged,
And your very soul hangs loose,
And you ask yourself the question,
Weary, heartsick, what's the use?
Just remember that you're needed,
In this grim old world of ours,
That you're a part of it 1--WE need
you)
In it's sunny times and showers.
And although it may seem useless,
More than human soul can stand,
You belong to the Creator, and the
Lord loves men with sand.-Ex.

Mourning from Over the Sea.

No wonder we still get our ideas for
mourning costumes and accessories from
Paris, for Paris has had ample oppor-

face Of It is not quite easy to under

less gloomy than ever before. But when
you stop to think Of It this Tightening OF

many Partisan women are wearing
mourning that the effect Of so much

and vivacity there are left in the French

So the heavy bands Of Grape have gone.
and so have the wells that covered the

as materials goes is that the fabric

Among the accessories that are always

collars have assumed much more becom-

Sometimes the blouse with which the col

ly a collar band and the lawn collar is
placed on and over this. Oftener the
blouse Is shaped with a slight v neck
and the regulation plain white swiss or
