SUPERIOR REEKS WITH BOOZE AND FILTH
John Barycom
WOrkhOuse Have OverfOWed With Drink
Victims and Redlght Ladies Hold High Carnival

workhouse inmates and declared
that many Of them worked better
than many Of the men hired for
high wages.
One difficulty will =, be trans
fer of the men between their work
and their place of confinement.
This detail will be left to Charles
Cole.
Since. Old John Barleycorn
moved back to Superior that city
has seen a carnival of crime and
a flood of moral filth. When the
saloons first re-opened their
doors, no frontier town in the
numbering days ever had worse
exhibitions Of drunkenness. One
Superior citizen counted nearly
an hundred men in one alley in
different stages Of intoxication.
Duluth drinkers are credited with
spending $4,000 for booze in Su-
perior the first week the saloons
were open.
Since Old John Barleycorn an
nounced that he would once more
inhabit Superior, there have been
several murders. The red-light
district is more active, noisy and
wicked than any street carnival
ever held under the aspices Of a
fraternal order.
The better element at one time
was on the verge Of starting some
thing, so great the disgust over
the rampage of drunken people,
gamblers, red-light ladies and
their filthy solicitors. 1t is firmly
believed that the miserable old
wretch is digging his own per-
manent grave here, just as he did
in Duluth. Some of the smaller
merchants are seeking locations in
dry Duluth.
There is the usual chatter about
municipal corruption. There was
a merry war over the question of
sticking to 60 saloons only. One
| faction insisted that ten more be
added to the list. Saloon licenses
are at 2 heavy premium.
The LIQUOR dealers met and drew

SUPERIOR, Aug. 17.-(Spec-
ial to the Rip Saw).-Victims of
Old John Barleycorn in Superior
who are so unfortunate as to land
in the workhouse will be utilized
by Douglas county, Wisconsin, as
a leverage to balance, if not pull
down, the present high wages paid
to common labor.
The roads to the Douglas coun-
ty fair gronds are being gravelled.
Common labor is employed. The
men have secured two advances
in wages and now receive $3.50 a
day. Men are scarce and diff
cult to hire, even at $3.50 a day.
No wages whatever will be paid
the workfarm victims. They are
so numerous since the return Of
Old John Balreycorn to Superior
that their care and disposition is
a problem. At a recent meeting
Of the Douglas county board Of
commissioners it was decided to
use the workfarm prisoners in
road construction and mainte-
nance and in other county work,
Since booze came back to Su-
perior, the capacity of the work
house has been taxed to the ut
most. With accommodations for
As inmates, as high as 118 prison
ers at tone time have been packed
into the place. Many Of these
men could not be utilized at the
workhouse, therefore have re-
mained in idleness. The county
! Jail has had as high as Is inmates
at one time.
Many of those committed to the
jail and workhouse are victims Of
booze. When sober, they are the
best Of workers, as a rule, there
fore they prefer to work outside
rather than rust and rot in con-
fnement.
The decision Of the board of
county commissioners was the re-
suit of a recommendation by S.
P. Carlson who has charge of the
county road maintenance. He
narrated his experiences with the
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-08-18

up certain regulations for the con-
duct of saloons. Mayor Konkel
is alleged to have called the sa-
loon proprietors, before him; lee
tured them; put the fear in their
hearts; limited that if they refused
to love him that the dry people
would do so; and then grabbed
off all the credit Of putting hob
bles on the booze dispensers.
There is an increased number
Of deliveries of the "Stevens Six
automobile. The company had
heavy orders from Superior and
could not make immediate deliv-
cry. This increase in the number
Of cars of that make has a bearing
on the belief that the purchase of
"Stevens Six" from the Konkel
Automobile Agency, maintained
by members of the Konkel family,
greatly increased a mans certain
ty Of getting a saloon license.
There will be a municipal house
cleaning over here some day in
spite If the strong and clever po-
liticaE combinations being made.
When that time comes, there will
be some scrambling for the cy-
clone cellars.

The very important Second
district was "suffering' from the
selection Of T. II. Little as Tisch-
er's successor.
In 1916, the Second district was
allowed but $4,000 for road
| work. The dictatorial King Of
the Courthouse knew what he was
talking about when he said the
! district would ''suffer'' if his
royal desires were not needed.
This year, the Second district
got $4,000, but, in justice and in
| true proportion with the districts
having Halden' s tame pets COM
missioners amenable to his royal
will-the appropriation should
have been at least 100000. Even
$125,000 weHld-not have been un-
fair to the others.
The Fourth district, represented
by u. S. Grant McMahan, is much
larger than the Second district,
| but has very few roads, compared
with the smaller district. There
alse is less need and caH for new
roads. In fact, Mr.. McMahan
| once said that he hardly knew
where or how he was going to be
able to use all Of his appropria-
ton.
The voters of the Second dis
trict have deeply resented this
method of making them "suffer
and a heavy majority is sure and
certain for sending their tyran-
ical old King into permanent ex-
lie at the very minute the year
1918 comes to a close.
The Big Stick creates about as
much resentment as the deadly
Double Cross. The rural voters
of St. Louis County resent at
tempts to drive them as Morris
Thomas once drove his oxen in
the woods. =
Ed. Totman wears a big Double
Cross on his sturdy breast. His
dear old King decorated him with
but the former subject does not
like to wear it in public.
| Ed. Totman came from Maine,
where people keep their whiskey
bottles hanging by string down
in the wells and vote the straight
Republican ticket. He had voted
flor Konge Odin until it became a
sort Of chad habit and many a
rubber tire had he worn out in
carrying royal commands to the
peasants in the hinterland.
Dull days came to Totman and
his livery business. The benzine
buggies rather crowded his horses
off the driveway. He thought ii
would be fine to inspect all the
kerosene oil in this neck of thu
woods and told his King so.
"Just leave that to me, Ed
said Konge Odin, with a royal
wave Of the kingly hand.
Ed. left it to Halden and, as
might have been expected, got

The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-08-18
By JOHN L.. MORRISON.

- HBBING, Mimi, Aug. TO-
Especial to the Rip-saw)-I am
writing from The Richest Village
on Earth. One scholarly scribe
terms it The Wonder Village Of
the West. All loyal residents of
the place declare that cts the
one best town on the Minnesota
iron ranges With it's $4,000
inhabitants and 1000 acres of
area-about II square miles-it s
huge municipal island in a red
sea of iron ore-much of that
ore coming from some of the
largest iron mines in all the
world.
The village Of Hibbing was Or
ganized in 1898. It was named
for Capt. Frank Hibbing, pion-
eer mining man on the range
who died about twenty years
ago at an age when most men
begin their biggest life work.
I first saw Hibbing in 1895
when I came up here, in quest
FUf subscribers for an aenimic
little mining journal founded by
A. E.. Chantler, one Of the one
hundred-and-eleven ex-managers
Of the Duluth News Tribune.
In those days, Hibbing lacked
much Of being "a right smart
place." as they say down in
Dixie. It was only step from
hotel to swamp, muskeag or an
outcrop of rock. Many of those
steps, too, had to be taken over
a couple of plank instead Of a
cement sidewalk. Archie CHS
holm was cashier in a dinky lit
tie bank, limited in personal
purse but with soul rich in
hope. w. P. Mars, now an Off
Ger in a wholesale hardware firm
of international Importance, then
conducted a retail hardware
here and did much of the heavy
work with his own hands. On
that visit I first met John A..
Redfern. It was a warm, sunny
day and he was setting a new
boiler at the PenObscOt mine.
garbed in a red undershirt that
harmonized with his perspiring
face and his rather vivid head
of hair.
In those, days Hibbing GER
tainly was an ugly duckling. The
U. S. Steel Corporation had not
yet been organized and Victor
L. Power was wearing knee
trousers, playing hockey and
thinking over whether he better
be a sailor or a soldier.
Today, Hibbing has $4,000
souls, as stated, and is growing
steadily. 1t is served by two
railroads and some of the best
wagon roads in Minnesota. The
village has the municipal utili-
ties of many cities Of a quarter
of a million population and the
outlook is bright for more to
come. r.. ..
Today, this village that thinks
in millions, as it were, has miles
of cement sidewalks, paved
streets and every facility for TAX
ing care Of them. An automo-
bile water wagon flushes them
and ample man power picks up
all refuse.
Hibbing has a public library
building that throws Duluth s
main, library building deeply in
the shade. 1t was built by the
taxpayers without a penny from
Andrew Carnegie. Self help and
self respect have not suffered
thereby.
Hibbing's city hall would
shame the old rookery in which
Duluth's municipal business is
done. The firehalls are filled
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-08-18

with motor-driven equipment and
an ample number of well paid
firemen. There is no dearth Of
policemen and their wages would
be glad godsend for the men,
bers of the Duluth department.
Hibbing owns it's own water
and electric light plants and
talks of a gas plant. On the
principal streets there are high,
strong iron standards, each 125
/! feet apart and each bearing a
cluster of five lights with big,
| round, white porcelain globes.
There are 600 of the cluster
lights and 200 of the single
| lights. They make white ways
down the cross streets as we'll as
the main thoroughfares running
! longitudinally through the viii
lage.
Then there are Mesaba and
Bennett public parks. In the
latter there is a refectory, a
band stand, a wading pool for
the youngsters and, here and
there, iron ovens in which to
kindle camp fires to boil coffee
for those who picnic there. There
is ample shrubbery, many trees,
and flower beds that are worth
going miles to see.
Hibbing's streets are fringed
with municipal trees. They re-
fuse from the finely paved
streets is carted to a municipal
incinerator tha incinerates. There
is a municipal greenhouse with
an enthusiast in charge who
sprouts plants for the public
places. There is a detention hos
pital that makes the old shack
over the hill back of Duluth look
like crime against humanity. A
municipal day nursery recently
was opened where little Reginald.
and Lucille can be safely depos-
tied by mama when she goes
shopping. A skilled nurse guar
antees the very best of care.
There are municipal play
grounds. AS to schools, they need
an entirely separate article to do
them justice. Talent and equip
ment are provided without stint.
Inspired by the fact that Du-
luth had Municipal Fox, last
year the village Of Hibbing,
through the commercial club,
voted to buy a municipal draft
stallion and a couple of munich
pal bulls, said municipal father
animals to be maintained at the
fairgrounds for benefit of the
neighboring farmers.
| Before these lines appear, bids
will be opened and, probably, a
contract let for the erection of a
| municipal potato warehouse. This
will be 5Ox70 #. with one story
and a basement. There, for
small storage fee, homecrofters
can deposit the spuds from their
war gardens and keep them safe
ly from freezing.
And, with all these many bless
ings and despite bitter warfare
in the past, Hibbing people en-
Joy lower rate Of taxation than
any municipality in st. Louis
county.
A few years ago, Hibbing peo-
pie became tired of tramping
through the mud and stumbling
around in the dark. They were
not satisfied with the water sup.
ply. They objected to the min
ing away Of the townsitc and the
damage to property from chunks
of iron ore sent flying through
the air by heavy blasts.
The mining companies had
