Dudley Caudell, of Hatton
Creek, has announced for Super
intendent of Schools of Powell
county on the Republican ticket.
There is no finer young man in
Powell, and no one more qualIfi-
ed for this position, than Dudley.
For years he has been educating
and preparing himself at some of
the best Normal schools in the
State. He is young man of
clean life and splendid character
with the interests of education
in Powell county very near to his
heart. If elected, he will make
one of the best superintendent
this county ever had, We predict.
With his entrance into the race,
the contest becomes very inter
esting.

WEISS Is A WINNER.

Mr.. A. c. Weiss, publisher and
manager of the Duluth Evening
Herald, has returned from New
York where, at a meeting Of the
Associated Press, he was elected
one of seven directors of that or
ganization.
It is a marked honor to Duluth
when one of her newspaper pro-
prietors can take a place with
such men as Adolph Ochs of the
New York Times, w. L. Mclean
of the Philadelphia Bulletin and
Frank B. Noyes of the Washing
ton Star. No other publisher west
of the Mississippi was so honored.
Even if Duluth is tucked away
close to the Canadian boundary,
with water for a front dooryard
and a half developed region for
a back dooryard, the Herald is q
wonder in the newspaper world.
Although the circulation is not
large compared with some others,
it is highly creditable, when its
field is surveyed.
The Herald shines as a jewel of
the first water when it comes to
advertising patronage. Not city
of Duluth s size on the continent
can show a volume of advertising
equal to the Herald's and many
cities double the size of Duluth
would be extremely proud if they
could equal the Duluth Evening
Herald in columns of advertising,
year in and year out.
The Rip-saw most heartily con-
graduates Mr.. Weiss on his high
official honor as well as his un-
qualified success in developing q
sound and profitable newspaper
business.

SIS a month while the big grain
merchants, the ship owners and
builders, the ammunition makers,
the iron masters, the meat pack
ers and many other lines of bust
ness have wonderful opportuni-
ties to become still more wealthy,
Influential and powerful.
And when a young man leaves
his widowed mother to fight for
his flag at SIS a month. she must
pay 81 a bushel for seed pota-
toes, around SIS a barrel for
flour, so cents pound for but
ter to help the crusts 60 down,
and other things in proportion.
Outside of doing patriotic
service and, possibly, furthering
the cause of democracy, the peo-
pie who have incomes of 5000 a
year and less will merely get it
in the neck while the war lasts.
The socialists must be credited
and complimented for quite rea-
sonable demands in these abnor-
NAL times, when their view point
is considered.

SOME JOURNALISTIC
CHANGES.

The newspaper map in Duluth
is being radically modified. James
E. Rockwell soon will quit the
city editors desk in the Herald
office and 60 to Fargo, N. D.,
where he will become managing
editor of the Fargo Forum, in
which he. also has acquired an
interest.
Mr.. Rockwell is a graceful, in
teresting, effective writer. With
energy and proper environment,
he could attain brilliance and
make a national reputation. 1t is
too bad that a man with his abil-
ity with the pen should have been
tied down to the drudgery of a
desk. The Rip-saw hopes and
advises that when he gets to
Fargo he will take his light from
under the bushel and let it shine
with all its pleasing brilliance.
A. B. Kapplin has gone to war
and other reporters on the Herald
have determined to seek other
work. James A. Stewart has q
flattering offer to 60 back to a
Twin City paper but his decision
has not been learned by the Rip
saw.
Street rumor indicates that
John Nagle, for some time manag-
ing editor of the Duluth News
Tribune, will be made political
editor and that City Editor Rice
will be advanced to the manag-
ing editorship. Another story
has it that Mr.. Rice is a possible
successor to Mr.. Rockwell on the
Herald. He is a newspaper man
of high ability.

MASSES ARE DEEPLY MOVED
Mr.. Hartley and the News Trib.

Mr.. Hartley and the News Trib-
une shed many tears over the
high cost of seeing the uptown
movies by people in the Steelton
district if the 10-cent zone for
stree car fares is permitted. They
also mourn over a few dimes that
the retail merchants may fail to
get from the suburbs.
In the first place, those suburbs
have excellent stores and even
picture shows. They are not
anxious to see all their patronage
60 up town. They feel entitled
to protection and a chance to
grow. If they do get a tempo
rary advantage, it can no more
than put them on their feet and
in a position to complete with
stronger concerns, after scent
fares become q fact.
The uptown movies, merchants
and hotels have the benefit of the
profitable transient trade, some
thing the suburban places never
get. That, alone, is a material ad-
vantage far the older and strong
er section of the city.
Every man, woman mad child
in Duluth would rejoice in q uni
versal Scent fare. Not a single
one stays awake nights weeping
over the sorrows of the street car
company. But there is consider
able manhood and a sense of JUS
tice left in the minds of the
masses heEe. They are deeply
moved by the desperate situation
of their friends and distant
neighbors of New Duluth and
Gary. They are willing to pay a
tribute, for a moderate time, if
really necessary, to enable the
people of New Duluth and Gary
to actually become a part Of the
city. They are hopeful that the
conflicting Big Interests (the
street car company, the uptown
merchants, the daily papers and
Mr.. Hartley, will finish their
fights after the extension is made
and operated.

guage.
Every good settler, no matter
how prosperous or how poor,
knows what taxes are; he knows
what waste and ineffciency in
spending the tax-money mean.
He desires good public servants
and appreciates such. Even if
he is a farmer, wood chopper or
wage Garner, he knows that he
is the master and the ce-holder
is the servant.
1t is something amazing, the
way the settlers seek the Rip
saw. They appreciate its plain
speaking. They look on it as a
long, absent friend, just returned.
It's almost a foot race to see who
will get it, or to it, first. Their
desire for it and fear that they
cannot get it, is almost pathetic
in some cases.
If the city people, the politi-
clans and the officeholders knew
and could see the letters and the
personal callers that come to the
Rip-saw office, they would prof
it in many ways. The Rip-saw
has started something and, with
the moral support of those who
are chopping out homes in the
remote districts of this county,
an influence can be exerted that
will be felt a generation hence.

ers and taxpayers-all the way

CONTEMPLATION FOR A COM
RADE.

Postmaster McEwen recently
passed through some personal
trials that were not pleasant but
which were extremely profitable
in the way Of proving to the pub
lie that he can stand fire without
flinching or going wild.
~ What'a man has done in the
past is important but what he
is doing now or will do in the
future are most important-vital,
in fact. Emptying slop bucket
on q brothers head is a poor
method of. punishment, even if
punishment is positively due. It's
a poor method and un-Christian.
If unwarranted, it's heathenlsh.
In the meantime, Duluth 8
postmaster is pursuing his pro-
gressive way in the conduct Of
Uncle Sans postage stamp store
and mail emporium. To serve
the public still better in the fu-
ture than in the past seems to be
his aim and delight.
The Rip-saw wishes postmaster
McEwen great success IN the
conduct of his office as we'll as
a continued tenure Of it.

SOME KINDLY SUGGESTIONS.

Hon. G. G. Hartley says that he
will take the city's construction
and equipment bonds at 4 IL per
cent interest if the Duluth Street
Railway company refuses to ex-
tend it's lines to New Duluth and
the city is compelled to build the
extension and operate it.
The city has no need to fall
back on Mr.. Hartley's generosity.
Duluth bonds ever are salable at
top prices, and the offer is no
sweet boon.
If Mr.. Hartley has bunch Of
idle money, the Rip-saw suggests
that he invest it in an additional
jobbing house of some kind and
do it in the beginning, before it's
securities are paying Is to 20 per
cent a year-in other words, take
a sporting chance for the benefit
Of Duluth and not wait for sure
thing.
1t will be no hardship for Mr..
Hartley not to have his own way
entirely in this street car extern
sion matter. His agitation, if not
carried unreasonably far, will
have helpful influence and he
is entitled to credit for interest,
advice and energy in the matter.
But what he desires or demands
may not seem so important in
every detail TO the people who pay
street car fares.
IF Mr.. Hartley wishes to fur
ther exercise and develop his
public spirit, why not bring the
Hill railroads to time; get more
perfect freight rates from the
east; knock out that rotten 7-cent
street car fare from Minnesota
Points three-mile ride; secure
public ownership of the inter-
state bridge with free fare for all
traffic, and, if conditions require,
build that competing railroad line
to Fargo and Grind Forks.

NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

At their May Day meeting in
Woodman hall last Tuesday
night, the Duluth socialists
passed the following resolution
which was wired to President
Wilson, viz:
Resolved, That the socialist party
of the city of Duluth demands that
YOU stop the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors during the war.
And since congress has passed the
conscription bill we demand law for
the seQuestration of all incomes In ex-
cess of $1,000 q year to defray the
expenses Of the war. We further de-
mand that the government take over
the railroads, mines and Industries
upon which the effectual prosecution
of the war and the we'll being OF the
civil population depends and appro-
pirate the profits accommodating from
war contracts and supplies for war
purposes"
Radical. but nothing very an
arehistic in that. Of course the
demand as to the portion OF
plutocratic incomes may seem
excessive to the Big Boys, but
they better pay that than be dig
ging trenches in Germany as
prisoners of war. They are the
ones who seem most fearful OF
foreign foes.
Government ownership Of
railroads is more likely for the
near future than the national
farm loan act and regional ma
tional banks were twenty years
ago. Practically all the things
favored by the populists have
been written into the statute
books. twenty-five years ago,
the populists were called anarch-
lists, impractical dreamers and
wild-eyed Missionaries. These de-
mands for war control are not
far out of line with the actual
tendencies of the times.
The masses certainly are not
going to get any material benefit
out of this war. They must rest
content with the call to shed
their blood and give democracy
a boost in Europe.
The young men Of the country
even are being compelled to
work for ssscabn wages when
they don their country's uni
form. They risk their lives for

PATRIOTISM AND SEED PO.
TATOES.

Owners OF alleged seed pota-
toes already are asking 81 a
bushel for them. This makes it
impossible for many people to
plant potato patches, as a matter
of loyalty in adding to the ma
tons food supply, to say nothing
of personal needs.
There are thousands of vacant
lots in Duluth belonging to non
resident owners. The Rip-saw
believes that such owners should
turn over all such lots to the city
to be handled for the city by
some committee, body or officer,
for the purpose of raising gar
dens this year.
Such lots should be given
freely and without price but, if
the owners will not do that, they
should, if possible, be not per-
mitted to charge more than the
annual taxes paid to city, county
and state.
And those human hogs, who
fear they viii not get abnormal
prices for potatoes next year, but
propose to "soak" the public
this year. should get a change of
heart and ask price that poor
families can afford to pay.
Better yet, as many as possible
should advertise to furnish seed
.'.'tstoes on shares, taking a pro-
per percentage of any crop raised
