LAW ENFORCEMENT.

At last the police authorities have
taken some action to enforce the or
dinances passed by the council last
spring to aid in the enforcement of
the dry ordinance which became eff
fective July /, and especially that
one prohibiting intoxicated persons
from crossing the interstate bridge
on street cars from Superior.
About a dozen DRINKS were ar
rested last Saturday night on supe-
rior cars after they reached the Du-
luth side of the bridge by special Of
ficers OF the street railway company
cooperating with the police depart
ment. Those found guilty were
fined $50 each, the municipal judges
levying the heavy fines for the pur-'
pose of preventing as far as possible
similar offenses in the future.
Although gratifying to law-abiding
citizens of Duluth, there is nothing
really remarkable about these ar
rests, except probably that this par
ticular ordinance has been violated
for some time, and such arrests
should have been made sooner
In the two and one-half months
that this city has been dry. there
have been several who have made a
practice of going across the bay to
imbibe of that liquid which tends
to make them incapable of conduct
ing themselves properly.
There is nothing illegal about that,
providing they remain to sober up
before returning. But right here is
the hitch, for most of them boarded
the street cars, becoming boisterous
and unruly, ana exceedingly annoy
ing to the other passengers. In fact,
this ribaldry became repugnant to all
sense of decency, and made it ex-
tremely en- EMBARRASSING for women and
children who we're compelled to pat
ronlxe the cars.
Conditions became so aggravated
that the authorities were forced to
take some action to curb the nuis-
Ance-with the previously mentioned
results.
Laws and ordinances are enacted
for the ostensible purpose of being
enforced, so that the public welfare
might be protected. The citizens of
this city have voted for law enforce
ment, and their mandate must be
carried out.
Commissioner Silberstein is SIM
ply doing that which he is employed
to do-merely performing the duties
Of his office.
And, generally, it pays to heed
the public will.
The policy of law enforcement
should be stringently adhered to in
tho future

THE STEEL TRUSTS POWER.

The Public: Private ownership and
control of natural resources is the
factor in the steel situation that per-
mits the manufacturers to hold out
against the government for more
than a fair price, just as it has en-
abled them to gouge the allied gov
ernments, American railroads, and
the public. A Washington dispatch
to the New York Times says: "A re-
port is current that, outside Of the
United States Steel corporation, which
controls it's raw material to a large
extent, the majority of the steel pro-
ducers have kept their prices up be-
cause of the excessive demands of
those who control their raw mater
ials. With the price of raw materials
regulated, it is said, other prices must
come down." Washington corre-
spondents have been habitually con-
cerned with politics rather than eco
Monies, and it is not surprising that
The Times correspondent gives US
this truism as a current report"
But the price of raw materials can
not be regulated without denying the
right of the owners to capitalize the
monopoly value Of their ore holdings
Those holdings were acquired for q
song. Much of the valuable ore land
F.! of the Steel corporation is still owned
by the state of Minnesota and leased
! to the corporation. Are we not a
| helpless and fatuous democracy if in
our time of need we leave this vital
| natural resource in the hands of men
| who use their control for purposes
of extortion?

GERMAN CAVALRY

Trench warfare has not diminished the

Associated Press shows the total Of
squadrons in the service to be even high.
err than il was at the mobilization in
1914 Changes, however, have been in
troduced in the mounted arm Of the
service by which some of the squadrons
temporarily have been dismounted and
utilized as infantry, while the formations
have undergone considerable variation.
AT present the German army has at its
disposal no fewer than $40 squadrons of
cavalry, comprising active. reserve, mo.

units, but of these IA have been sep
arated from their horses and used as
infantry. This figure compares with 440
squadrons on a peace footing
When war began the German cavalry
was at once formed into divisions,
each composed of six regiments of four
squadrons. Besides those there were
also the bodies of divisional cavalry at
tached to the active and reserve divisions
of infantry.
Rumania's entry into the war made
more cavalry formations necessary and
the number of organized divisions Was al
once increased to IA.
The spring Of 1917 saw The end OF the
Rumanian campaign, and with this came
a decrease of the divisional formations
to six, while the divisions themselves
were reduced from six regiments to four

THY NEIGHB0R
BY LOIS WOOD.

Lfnnelle moved into his bachelo
apartments on the 10th of the month
He had had suite down at the excIn
sive Waltermere, on Washington
square, when Aston & Co. gave hin
the order for book. II was to dea

into little neighborhood villages, es
| pecially among the poor.
Young Aston had suggested that he
move over to the East side and study
conditions among the submerged tenth
at first hand. 1t had not appealed to
Linnelle. He was not of the tramp
poet variety. Even while he liked to
be a denizen of the old Greenwich viii
lage, still his quarters were on the
north side of the square. But it
came to pass that he became an in
mate--he would not call 1t resident
Of the Diggs apartments.
At some time Mr.. Diggs had felt the
weight of millions preying upon his
mind and had placed model apart
ments for the deserving poor in their
midst on the East side.
After the third day in his new lodg-
ings the monotony palled on him. He
had prowled around the neighborhood
and made the alarming discovery that
instead of being in the midst Of thugs
and night hawks he was in the midst
of highly respectable old settlers. In
stead of their being peculiar to their
kind, they regarded him as rara avis.
He was buying green peppers and
fresh tomatoes from the little Greek
Mario at the corner and answering his
questions idly. when he became aware
of another customer who seemed high
ly amused at his inquisftion.
You stay very long7" asked Mario.
"For awhile"
"What do you do for q llvingl
Write? Play the music? Paintl
Sculp? Nor Just professor, huh?"
Llnnelle felt his face redden as the
girl smiled.
Must one give an excuse for living
here7" he asked.
And Mario let 1t pass. Hearing the
girl give her address for the delivery /
Of goods, Linnelle realized that he had
a neighbor. He caught one swift I.
glance from big gray eyes that smiled
ut him as he passed on. When his
