TWO SAMPLES OF JUSTICE.

A poor Jew, compelled to work
at manual labor, was tempted to
make a few easy dollars by ille-
gal sale of beer and booze. The
police found a small quantity Of
each refreshment in his home and
charged him with violating the
liquor ordinance. On advice OF
his attorney, a plea of guilty was
made, expecting, thereby, to Sc
cure the mercy Of the court.
To the utter surprise Of the de-
PENDANT and his attorney, Judge
Smallwood imposed an uncondi-
tional sentence Of sixty days at
the work farm. There the poor
fellow is now, if our information
is correct, and there he is likely
to remain for sixty long, weary
days, despite the frequent and
earnest pleadings Of faithful
wife. He has no Influential
friends and no pull in local poll
tical circles.
The way of the transgressor is
hard and stiff sentences for blind
piggery have a beneficial effect if
impartially imposed on all.
Just before Thanksgiving, Mich
ael Danculovic, a resident of the
United States for twenty-four
years, resident of Duluth for
fifteen years, a man forty-four
years old, a man experienced in
business and with broad observa-
ton as to the workings of law
and justice, was arrested for run
ming blind pig. He put up $500
cash bail and then jumped his
bail. Being hailed before the
court, he then pleaded guilty and
was given an unconditional work
farm sentence of sixty days.
But Mike Danculovic had some
thing of political pull. He was
credited with being Influential
with Austro-Americans. He
owned real estate at Gary and
had money in the bank, thanks to
fat profits from sale of booze in
kindly old America. He even was
owner of a new automobile that
cost $4,000. Why should such a
money master slave in the work
farm for sixty long, weary days,
was the thought of the willy trans
gressor.
A call for help was loudly and
quickly made. Two kindly men,
bers of Duluth s Little Tammany
fastened to Judge Smallwood.
What they said, cannot be def
nitely stated but, whatever it
was, the words worked on the
judge with fifty years expert
ence at the bar and on the bench.
Danculovich was brought in
from the wearisome workfarm.
His sentence was committed to a
fine of $75 and costs. He was re-
leased on parole and will pay his
fine in installments OF STU a
month.
All this makes us think back
about twenty years ago when a
poor widow with many children
was sent to Jail thirty days for
stealing a pound Of butter that
she badly needed, while a man
who wrecked a bank through
gambling with the depositors'
money, went entirely free.
Justice certainly is blind as
well as far from impartial. We
cannot much blame the masses
for mistrusting and even hating
those with power and pull. We
can see why men with a natur-
ally keen sense of justice become
raging anarchists.

Little Tammany had better luck
in the Danculovic case than the
politicians and merchants who
asked Judge Cutting to let up on
the Redlight ladies few years
ago.

The Fargusson building was a
popular place for lawyers, real es-
tate men and brokers in iron lands
and stocks. Thomas Dowse, Ste
phen L. Merchant, E. G. Gridley,
Judge J. w. Bull and George
Wetherby were a few of the many
whose names are remembered to-
day by the writer.
Up towards the top Of the build
ing, as near heaven as possible, j.
Adam Bede had a tripod, an i'm
posing stone and a case Of type
which he used in setting up his
new paper, the Little Citizen. j.
Adam then was a staunch Cleve-
land democrat and had just made
an unsuccessful run for the legis-
lature on the democratic ticket.
After election, John G.. Brown
and a few others clipped in coin
to start the Little Citizen, thereby
keeping brother Bede out of worse
mischief.

mated them, were devoured by the

WISE WORKING
FOR ]. c. COHEN

Nov that ali the candidates have
their hats In the political ring II is
interesting to note how they arc
lining up In the Republican camp
the competition rs much keener be-
cause Of the greater number OF can
didates for the various offices.
One of the recent surprises was the
jump of John II. Wise. Republican
candidate for sheriff, into the GoheE
camp leaving Edward Hopkins, out
for the same office, with the Lane
contingent. This split of political re-
iations has caused considerable com.
ment. II Is understood that Wise's
hackers are boosting for Cohen alone
while II Is the policy Of the Lane
men TO boost for all Republicans i'm
partially. At the first rally of the
Republicans under the banssn tree
Peter Kanae called Wise to account
and heated words ensued. Ever since
Wise has not appeared at any Of the
Lane caucuses. 81
Mayor Lane refuses TO comment
on the action OF Wise, declaring he
is absolutely neutral
