noise, but the people back home
didn't storm the doors of the

against the terrors of nom

The fact is, the big national
parties just now do not stand for
anything in particular. At the
last national election, party lines
were thrown into the discard for
the good of the country, and we
are not surprised that these re-
publicans who have an itch for
federal office in Minnesota are
badly disgruntled and are ter
ribly anxious to restore the
former conditions under which
they fed at the public trough.

BiLLOF RIGHTS
Adopted by Special Committee Passenger Train Service
ofthe Commercial Club Of Duluth in Cooperation
With Representatives Of Other Commercial
and Civic Organizations.

The citizens of Du1hh and Superior
(150,O00 people,, and the citizens of the
adjacent "Lake Superior District" $780,
000), make, a total population of 100000
people,. They have the right to travel
West, Southwest and Northwest from and
through Du1uth, without being COM
pe11ed by reason of inadequate passenger
service, to go around by the Twin Cities,
$50 miles out of their way. All the peo-
pie in the territory west of the "Lake So
perior District" traversed by the North
ern Pacific and Great Norrnern Railways
have the right to reach Du1uth or to trav-
e1 through Du1uth to points East and
Southeast over the shortest route with
as good service, as short time schedule,
and as low rate of fare, as by any other
rottte. These people should not.be COM
PEELED by lack of service to go via the
Twin Cities, $50 miles oot of their way
800 miles for the round trip
The service now furnished BY the
Great Northern and the Northern Paci-
Gc Railways is openly and notoriocs1y
discriminatory, in ali Of these respects,
against the citiess at the Head of the
Lakes, the trade territory and the travel
ing public; either by the wi11fu1 design
of the heads of these systems or through
their neglect.
We therefore demand that the entire
general state of mind of the heads of
these roads with respect to Du1uth be
changed, and that among other things
the following specific items of service be
changed:
Item No. !. Equa1 fares for the peo-
pie of Du1uth to reach trade territory
and the trade territory to reach Du1uth,
that Is furnished for the citizens of d.
10th and its trade territory to reach the
Twin Cities and other centers.

a11 its stations in Minnesota to the City
of Du1uth, which is shorter than its in
terstate line, giving service over the
shorter line wholly within the State of

charged by that road to the Twin Cities.

campaign to vote for Mr.. Samuel
son s retention.

campaign to vote for Mr.. Samuel
sons retention.
When open opposition to Mr..
Samuelson developed, after the
campaign, Messrs. Crassweller and
Hudson secured a promise from
Mr.. Voss that he would keep an
open mind as to the city attorney
ship and not make any promises.
Two and four years ago, Mr..
Voss voluntarily approached A..
W. Hunter, an able lawyer asso-
ciated with Victor Stearns, to
take the city attorneyship. Mr..
Hunter, by the way, is a tenant of
one Of Mr.. Voss's flats.
Opponents of Mr.. Samuelson.
knowing Mr.. Voss's doings two
and four years ago, asked Mr..
Hunter if he would take that
position this year. He said that
he would not pull wires for it but
would be glad to accept if the
position were offered him.
These friends then asked Mr..
Voss to support Mr.. Hunter for
city attorney. He was dazed but
evaded direct answer at that
time.
Later, a committee of Elks
called on Mr.. Voss and he re-
peated to them the promise he
made to the vets, before the cam
paign, to re-appoint Mr.. Samuel
son. The vets, not the Elks, are
entitled to credit Of saving Mr..
Samuelson's scalp.
Mr.. Voss finally admitted to
the Hunter supporters that he was
pledged to Samuelson. He also
had to inform Messrs Hudson and
Crassweller that he had not kept
an open mind as to the appoint
ment. Mr.. Hudson, at least, is
represented as making apology to
his friends for the certificate of
merit he gave Mr.. Voss before the
election.
Commissioners Magney and
Phillips would have supported
Mr.. Hunter but, when they saw
it was useless, Mr.. Magney NOM
mated Frank Crassweller. OF
course he was not chosen.

VALOR AND DISCRETION
To the Editor of The Rip-Saw:

To demand war while the war
spirit is prevalent is not a risky
proceeding. But if it requires
any bravery at all, credit for
possessing that much may be be-
slowed on Congressman Clarence
B. Miller of Minnesota. That he
is brave enough to do an abso-
lutely safe thing is demonstrated
by the following excerpt from a
letter to students of Manchester
College of st. Paul who had sent
him resolutions urging against a
declaration of war:
You say the munition manu-
facturers are conducting cam
paign to get us into war. That
is the cry of the yellow streaked
and coward soul when confronted
by duty, seeking to justify it's
welching by ascribing improper
cOuOuCC TO OCnerS.
You say the munition manufacture
ers are conducting a campaign to get
us into war. That is the cry of the
yellow streaked and coward soul
when confronted by duty, seeking to
justify its welching by ascribing i'm
proper conduct to others.
You say you deprecate the spread
Of militaristic spirit in this country.
You really deprecate Americas call
to duty, a call to her citizens when
she suddenly finds herself in gravest
peril You say you denounce the
'jingoistic, unneutral and militaristic
policy Of the press" and condemn its
''base and unreasonable treachery."
The press is preaching patriotism
and loyalty to our country, its insti-
tutions and its missions. What are
You preaching? 4
Be it noted that the students
thus addressed are residents of
st. Paul, which is outside of Con-
gresham Miller's district. Mr..
Miller had received resolutions
from his constituents in the Fed
Grated Trades Assembly of Du-
luth as follows:

DEFENDS PRIMARY SYSTEM,
To the Editor of the Rip-saw:

To the Editor Of the Rip-saw:
The Duluth News Tribune in
its issue of April 8 criticised me
for my vote against the repeal of
the primary laws. AS the only
member of the senate from St..
Louis county who voted that way,
it was inferred that I lacked
courage" in failing to vote for
the return to the only convention
system.
A non-partisan legislature is
one Of the achievements of which
Minnesota may we'll be proud.
There is nothing more senseless
than to try to decide state issues
on the national alignments of
candidates.
Take the question Of state pro-
hibition for example. What has
that to do with the view which
men have on the tariff or on
national foreign policiesf Should
we wait until we have the prohi-
bition party in power in this
state before we act on itf Of
course not. When prohibition
becomes an issue we vote for men
who represent our views on that
question regardless of their ma
tional party affiliations and this
is as-it should be.
The movement for the return
to a partisan Legislature does not
come from the people but from
a coterie of discredited party
bosses. With the aid Of few
newspapers who used to be In on

pies Of international law.
We protest against Shin carrying

therefore, insist that violations and

commensurate action in the pending
crisis.
For some reason best known to
himself, the valiant congressman
did not choose to send a reply to
these constituents like that he had
sent to students with no votes in
his district. He unquestionably re-
ceived the resolutions, for he &C.
knowledged receipt, but with re-
markable self-restraint he added
nothing to his acknowledgment
that might lose him any support.
A comment on his letter to the
students which further explains
it is furnished by the St. Paul
News. After showing that the
students had expressed their con-
victions in a manly, straightfor-
ward way, and further pointing
out that cit takes a deal more
moral courage, at this particular
time, to sign such resolutions of
honest conviction than is dis
played by the Honorable MIR. Mil
Ter Of Duluth" the News says:

FINISH WHAT YOU START.

Why do so many people in Du-
luth start things they never fin
ish?
Some months ago, a fight for
our rights was started against the
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern railways. Some heavy shots
were fired and some bad dents
made in the armor of the Hill
roads.
But the war in Europe dragged
in this coutry and, with somesnfng
new to occupy minds and hands,
the guns were silenced and turned
away from the Hill interests and
abuses.
But even the great world con.
flict fails to satisfy. A few scared
retailers, a few jealous citizens
and the daily papers now have
started a campaign against the
10-cent trolley fare to Morgan
Park.
Where something will break out
next, no one can tell. But all
along the road there are half-fn-
ished tasks that should have been
finished and some of which never
should have been started when
they were.
It is poor policy to bite off more
than you can chew and then find
you cannot even spit it out.

SOME COUNTY HISTORY.

Floodwood, Mimi, April 13, IT.
To the Editor of the Rip-Saw:
In this days issue of the News
Tribune is an editorial in praise
of H. R. No. SO4 (the "county
road committee" billy, stating
what a blessing it will be to the
taxpayers, etc.; also a letter from
Mr.. Bernard excusing Mr.. Hicken
who, according OF the News Trib-
une's own reporter, "blind-
pigged" the bill through the
House until he was arrested by
Chief Bessette.
If this is such a good bill, why
were st. Louis county courthouse
tactics used and why is Senator
Adams, an official favored by
Halden, so anxious about it that
he guards it's way through the
dark and dangerous channels?
Ever since Senator Adams
went to st. Paul, his great work
seems to be to get advances in
pay for the faithful in the court
house. The sheriff was the only
one to be sighted and that fact
stands forth to the credit of John
R. Meining and not to the man
who desired to whip him into line
for personal purposes.
The taxpayers are getting very
cautious as regards any bills or
suggestions coming from the
News Tribune. Only a. few years
ago, G. G.. Hartley, part owner Of
the News Tribune, wanted a road
completed from Floodwood to his
Island Farm. The work was
begun and clearing of right of
way completed when no more
money was available and compile
ton of the road was put over to
the following year.
Auditor Halden was in bed
with his usual illness but Mr..
Hartley invaded the sanctity Of
his home to demand the compile
ton of the road. He told the sick
auditor, I am informed, that some
of them would be looking for a
job after the next election if the
work was mot promptly put
Through.
Auditor Halden raised his fe-
vered head from the pillow and
begged that Mr.. Hartley CON-
plete the road himself and then
be reimbursed by the county the
next year. The bonanza farmer
fatty refused that suggestion and
insisted that the road be finished
by the county. The county COM
missioners meekly obeyed, with
out even being told why they
must obey. My information is
that they even feared to ask. The
road was completed that year,
money for the purpose being
fished up in some way by audi
tor Halden.

ufacturing practice. Similar readjust-
ments are being made in other lines.
The frills and fads of production, tenn
porarily at least. especially those
wherein iron and steel largely is used,
are being discarded.
That such revised methods are be-
ing pursued is due, in the main, to the
close cooperation and understanding
among manufacturers which the gov
eminent has been fostering under
wartime conditions. Producers are
counseling together and adopting such
concerted policies as they would not
have felt free to do under the anti
trust regulations of peace conditions.
And the government apparently is
sponsoring this movement with the
result that general efficiency is being
advanced greatly. That the wisdom
of intimate cooperation between gov
eminent and business and between
members of the same group of bust
ness is being demonstrated so clearly
to the nation in war creates the hope
that the prejudices and misguided
theories affecting business of the past
will not survive the coming days of
peace. If they do, the country will
have lost a great opportunity mate
rally to advance its best interests.

From the beginning of the war until
now Germany has been permitted to
fight her enemies, one at time. The
present danger lies in the possibility
that she soon may begin to make
peace with them. one at a time. There
are indications that Italy is about to
suffer the experience of Serbia and
Rumania. This would leave the leu
tons free to mass their armies on the
western front or to drive the army in
Macedonia into the sea. 1t seems en-
tireIy possible that in the end Uncle
Sam will be left holding the sack.
Germany's ability to continue the war,
and to win victories everywhere ex-
cept in the west is due to the fact that
she has seized every opportunity at
the right moment, while her oppon-
ents have always appeared on the
scene a little late. 1t may be that
Japan will yet get into the war after
the time has passed for her to do any
good.
