SHALL WAR PLANS HALT
ROAD BUILDING PLANS?

Following a news item conveying the
information that several states contem-
plate abandoning their road building
plans because the United States is at
war, the current number of American
Motorist, official magazine Of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association and prob
ably Americas most foremost advocate
of good roads prints a timely editorial
on the subject under the caption
Shall the War Bring Road Building to
Halt?" Says American Motorist:
"A pronounced tendency toward cur
tailment of road work during 1917 on ac-
count of war conditions is manifesting
itself. Several state highway depart
ments are arranging to reduce their
road work to a minimum and are ad.
vising counties to do likewise.
"The situation should be carefully an.
alyzed and hasty judgment should be
avoided.
IF by curtailing road work the food
supply of the nation can be markedly
increased, enlistments in our fighting
forces stimulated, or production of those
things necessary to the successful con
duct Of the war enlarged, then by al
means postpone new road work unit
next year or until the close Of the
war.

MOTORCYCLES IN
ARMIES ABROAD

One OF the most important and eff
cient units Of army equipment is the
motorcycle.
While it is not generally known to
what great extent these machines fig
ure In dispatch and scouting service in
the European armies, an idea may be
gathered of their Importance when it is
stated that there are in use at the va
rious fronts a good many thousand mo-
torcyces-all the machines available in
Europe, in fact. Despite this, every
country at war is clamoring for as
many additional thousands as it can get.
Requisitions for $4,000 have been
made by the warning European nations
while the combined output of the Eu-
ropean manufacturers will amount to
only 1000 machines. Thousands also
have been exported from the United
States, one manufacturer alone having
shipped this year in the neighborhood
of 5000 machines and hundreds of side
cars.
The widespread use Of the motorcycle
as a means Of quick locomotion to and
from any point is due to the power
swift getaway, dependability and flexi
bility of the present-day machines. They
have an instantaneous pickup from
standstill to terrible speed. They neet
no beaten patch of road, but will &c
up steep hill or over rough fields ant
through narrow openings not accessi
BILE to the automobile.
Many of them are in daily service In
the United States army. Over 300 are
in use on the Mexican border, where
in performing their duties, they have
proved indispensable, carrying dis
patches and doing relief and speed worl

tions. however. there are important
facts which must not be overlooked. One
of these is that farm labor In any given
section of the country is required in
large amount only at certain short sea
sons of the year, namely, the crop
planting and the crop harvesting times.
If a whole seasons road work is aban.
doned so that the road laborers may
be available for the few weeks they
are needed on the farm, the query nee
essarily arises as to whether this is real
efficiency.
"It Is contended also that the road
laborer is quite distinct from the farm
laborer and knows little or nothing of
farm work. This may or may not be
true. AS to the use of road laborers in
munition factories, 1t is exceedingly
doubtful whether these men could be
readily and efficiently turned into mu-
milton workers.
would II not be the part of wisdom
for highway departments to make a
survey of the situation and by confer.
ences with contractors and public Of
ficials determine with reasonable exact
ness the economic advantages and dis
advantages which would follow a con
tinuance or discontinuance of road
work for the season?
Another reason advanced for curtail
ing the work during the present season
is the enormous increase in the prices
of materials and labor. This would or
/ dinarilv seem to be q valid reason but
the same logic applies to all other con
structive enterprises.

kinds of structures, manufacturers o.

Senator Richard Jones Of Du-
luth was selected as campaign
manager for the 1913 statewide
prob bition fight at the organiza-
ton meeting of the Minnesota
Dry league in Minneapolis. The
meeting Of prohibition leaders
was called by Duluth temperance
workers.
Frank Crassweller of Duluth
presided and the formation of
the league followed. Delegates
from various dry organizations
interested in the statewide cam
paign were present from all parts
Of Minnesota. The anti-saloon
league had been invited to partici-
pate but had declined the in
vitation.
Speakers made it plain that the
object of the new league will be
to push the dry campaign to vic
tory. The issue will be the pro-
posal to amend the state consti-
tuition to forbid the sale, manu-
facture, importation or use Of in
toxicants except for certain pur-
poses, within the state of Mime
sofa, speakers stated.

piled that his patriotism did not
consist Of and depend on signing
mere card. The Canadian
super-patriot, who, probably,
would not lift a finger in behalf
of the United States and who
seemed to be over here to avoid
real war duty at home, started to
instruct the aged American as to
his duty as patriotic citizen.
There are pledges that should
be signed and then be kept. There
should, however, be a limit to this

tinues, either local or national
legislation may be required to
limit it.
Pledges signed freely and fire.
quently, without careful consid-
Grafton and, in cases, merely to
stand in with or get rid of a
pledge peddler, possess small
value.
A pledge should be considered
sacred and then be kept when
signed. The value of a pledge is
being undermined by the ubiquit-
GUS pledge peddler. These pledge
peddlers seem to feel that their
pledge peddling makes them a
superior sort of patriot.
Men who have volunteered for
service in the army have been
asked again and again to sign
patriotic pledges by people who
were under obligation to enlist
but who chose to lido their Bit
by peddling pledges and doing
other futile work, but not risking
their bodies and lives on the bat

strong tendency to blacklist any

a barrel of real whiskey. On
that basis, a barrel of booze
would return 1920, counting 800
pints at 81 each.
At ante-bellum prices, capable
dispenser of booze could sell it by
the drink so as to get a return of
about $14 a gallon. This would
mean $3.50 barrel. Drinks at only
10 cents would not realize that
much, unless very, very small
ones. But, undoubtedly, any
druggist greedy enough for the
dollar to run blind pig has tricks
in the way of dilution and the ad-
dition Of chemicals that give a
kick.
The adjoining merchants al
ways know when Swedberg opens
a fresh barrel of whiskey for he
always sends in boy to borrow
j. w. Nelson's bung-startcr.
The White Swan drug store en-
joys a trade from the Firms,
theatrical sports and even some
of the colored people from the lit
tie African redlight spot ON St.
Croix avenue. The Firms are
credited with paying extremely
high prices, it being their notion
that the higher the price, the bet
ter the medicine.
Pharmacist Helenius is repre-
sented as saying that there's no
satisfactory profit in the Amer
lean trade, that class of customers
being too well posted as well as
careful of their coin.
Druggist Swedberg is repre-
scented as not being at all fearful
Of losing his municipal license to
conduct a drug store. That
license says "drug store" not
saloon, "blind pig" or chop
joint. 1t is alleged that druggist
Swedberg recently said:
CDR. Eklund made Magney
mayor. The doctor has fixed it
up with the mayor so that I shall
not lose my license
This is the first information the
public has had that DR.. Eklund
was a "fxer" or that mayor
Magney can be "fixed."
Of course the Rip-saw under
stands that you must not always
believe all you hear.
It's dollars to doughnuts that,
if the White Swan gets away with
blind piggery, other drug stores
will try to enter the same game.

approved them without changing
a line. Further than that, Mr..
Elliott authorized director Foster
to quote him at any and all times
in favor of the firm and to say
that any work he might have in
the future would 60 to it. AS an
example of their skill and his sat-
isfaction, he stated that he was
saved the purchase Of 200 tons
less of steel than would have been
the case had he left the matter to
a steel company, itself.
The West Duluth Commercial
Club roundly applauded many of
the remarks made by the directors
who were present and spoke.
Judge tanners proposed a reso-
luton to the effect that this action
by the board would be overlooked
but advised greater caution in the
future. The club membership
would not stand for such a reso,
| luton. The outlook was that a
vote Of approval would have been
given had not two members favor
able to the architects union and
the builders union quickly moved
adjournment.
In time, the various profession
al unions that find fault with the
majority of the school board will
, discover and fully understand
that this majority has a will and
a mind Of it's own; that it does
not act hastily, foolishly and in
! ignorance; and that a lot of
clamor and pressure will fail to
hinder or make afraid.
Messrs. Croft & Boerner had
three sketches of the proposed
building ready soon after the No
vember meeting of the school
board, one of them being in har-
mony with the Duluth standard
for school buildings. Director
Brewer, in behalf of the commit
tee, selected a sketch not based on
the Duluth standard"
The members of the board who
favored Messrs. Croft & Boerner
are very confident that many
benefits eventually will accrue to
the board and the schools as a
result of employing that firm.
One of several probable reasons
for opposition to Messrs. Boerner
& Croft is that they do their own
engineering work without extra
cost and that, alone, will compel
other architectural firms to do the
same so long as this firm completes
for Duluth business. Time and
space do not, in this issue, permit
a discussion of other reasons.

PHOTOGRAPHER CARL THIEL
IS CALLED GERMAN SPY

DEFINING, N. NJ, Dec. 6.-Spe-
eial to the Rip-saw)-Some time
since, Carl Thiel, photographer
we'll known in Duluth and on the
Mesaba iron range, moved to
Deming with his family. Mr..
Thiel secured a pass to the Camp
Cody grounds and was making
speciality of photographing the
soldiers.
Some one, either maliciously or
in a spirit of fun, wrote the war
department at Washington that
Mr.. Thiel was a German spy.
Without undue delay, his pass was
taken up and further business on
the encampment grounds was ut
terly impossible.
Mr.. Thiel not only has suffered
injury but is exceedingly angry.
Through congressman Clarence
B. Miller, he is trying to find out
who made the. unjust charge
against him and, if he locates the
responsibility, proposes to sue for
heavy damages.
Mr.. Thiel was born in Germany
and his political views are quite
radical but no one who knows him
personally can take any stock in
the charge that he is a German
spy. Mr.. Thiel hates the Prussian
system as badly as any native
born American and, at heart, is
a most kindly man, utterly incap-
able of spying for the benefit of
the enemies of his adopted coun-
try.
