WOMAN'S CLUB News

The regular meeting of the Woman's
club held Wednesday, of last
week was one of the most successful
meetings of the year. The chairmen
of committees gave excellent reports
and two new members were welcomed.
After the business meeting an inter-
esting program, arranged by Mrs.
Thos. Flagler. chairman of the educa-
tional committee, was greatly enjoyed.
Mrs. Flagfer introducing the topic of
the afternoon, woman in the Profess
sions," told how the last decade has
witnessed an ever increasing rapidity
of progress in the condition and deeds
of woman. A paper of unusual merit
presenting woman IN literature was
read by Miss Isabel Sifton. Mrs. L.
W. Bishop paid tribute 20 woman
nurses. Mrs. W. H. McClain recounted
the achievements of woman in science
and medicine.
Mrs. c. ID. Hoyt was unable to be
present and her interesting paper on
woman in law was read by Mrs. J. r.
Norton. Mrs. W. w. Rodwell gave
talk on woman educators. In contrast
ing the day of the stern schoolmaster
with the present happy condition when
elementary teaching has been placed
in the hand of woman she conclusively
proved to her audience that the art of
woman is best adapted to the training
of lives in the formative period.
Mrs. j. w. iCrites. in her charming
manner, sang two selections. She
was accompanied by Mrs. E. ID. Kan
aga.
Tuesday, January 29th, is Scholar
ship Loan Day and the Woman's
Club is preparing an orchestral Ka-
zoo concert. The Kazoo is some
thing entirely new, shiny and won
derful in the way of musical instru-
ments. 10 is even newer than the
Pathephone, and has an equally wide,
range of possibilities. 1t is adapted
to any voice. A woman can play ii
as well as man and the orchestra
is mixed one of about twenty-five
pieces, under the able instruction
and direction of Mrs. c. H. Henney.
You know Mrs Henney, do you not?
The orchestra will give varied
repertoire, both popular. and classi-
cal, and there will be descriptive
dancing and other attractive feat,
ures. You will surely miss a good
program and some sights if you do
not attend. The time is Tuesday
evening the 29th at p. M The
place is the High School Auditorium.
The admission is % cents and as
much more as you would like to
give to this worthy cause.

letter announcing the return to his
home at Milton, Ont, of nephew,
Cpl. James W. Fennemore, who, one
of the first men of his community to

demand for cavalry was limited his
troop was dismounted and saw service
in the trenches.
Up to last December Cpl. Femme
more escaped wounds or sickness, but
exposure finally brought on rheuma-
tism and lumbago. Several other in
yalided soldiers returned to Milton in
company with Cpl. Fennemore. The
soldiers Swere met by crowd of citi-
zens and escorted to prominent street
intersection, where each was presented
with a handsome gold watch.

of which Cpl. Fennemore is member,
presented him with a gold watch and
held reception in his honor.

THE PLACE TO DIE.

How little recks it where men die,
When once the moments past
In which the dim and glazing eye
Has looked on earth it's last;
Whether beneath a sculptured urn
The coffined form shall rest,
Or in it's nakedness, return
Back to it's mothers breast.
The soldier falls mid corpses piled
Upon the battle plain,
Where reinless war steeds gallop wild
Above the cory slain;
But though his corpse be grim to see,
Hoof trampled on the sod,
What recks it when the spirit free
Has scared aloft to God?
The towards dying eyes may close
Upon his downy bed,
And softest hands his limbs compose
Or garments DER him spread;
But We who shun the bloody fray
Where fall the mangled brave,
Go strip his coffin lid away,
And see him in his grave!
'Twere sweet indeed to close our eyes
With those we, cherish near,
And waited upward by their signs
Soar to some calmer sphere;
But whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the battles van,
The fittest place for man to die
Is where he dies for man.
Michael ]. Barry.

HARLEM SHADOWS.

I hear the hating footsteps of lass
In Negro Harlem when the night
let's fall
Its veil. I see the shapes of girls
who pass
Eager to heed desires insistent
All, little dark girls. who in slippered
feet
Go prowling through the night from
street to street.
Through the long night until the
silver break
OF day the little gray feet know
no rest,
Through the lone night until the last
snowflake
Has dropped from heaven upon
the earth's white breast,
The dusky half-clad girls of tired feet
Are trudging, thinly shod, from
street to street.
All, stern, harsh world, that in the
wretched way
OF poverty, dishonor and disgrace
Has pushed the timid little feet Of
clay,
The sacred brown feet of my
fallen race!
All, heart Of me, the weary, weary
&C.,. feet
In Harlem wandering from street to
street.

Entered Postoe at Duluth Mnn Second Glass Matter
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1918.

Jesuitical and unworthy an epistle
as ever was indited by partisan
pie-counter glutton. No despised
nonpartisan leagaer ever penned
a more despicable effusion. 1t
out-Herods Herod, as it were. The
cloven, Mephistopholean feet show
beneath the flashy cloak of 10y
atty, seemingly very quickly
donned.
The worst of it all is that this
is not the only letter Of the kind
that Mr.. Miller has written in con-
nection with the war. The dis
trict has been quite freely sown
with others of a similar nature.
The Rip-saw has a number, for
future publication, and has infor-
nation Of still more that, as yet,
have not been seen.
The crying shame is that a lot
of noisy partisans, fairly oozing
loyalty and even patriotism,
freely, quickly and unduly criti-
cising the loyalty and patriotism
of their neighbors, propose to vote
for the Bernstoffian congressman
who no longer is an actual resi-
cent of the district. Many of
them call themselves "business
men," but logical people consider
their position as to congressman
mighty Door business.

MILLER'S CLOVEN HOOPS.

If congressman Miller has not
actually arrived, he is bowling
along the road from Washington
to. Duluth in a big automobile to
repair his political fences in the
Eighth district. There are plenty
of rotten posts; staples have
failed to hold; the wires are down
in many places; that sturdy engi-
neer Carss, with Drawn and brain,
is smashing through all along the
line.
Congressman Miller is a partisan
first and a near-statesman next.
He has played partisan politics
whenever possible. His big mo-
tive, in part, has been the landing
of the governor generalship of the
dear old Philippine Islands.
Congressman Miller no longer
is resident of the Eighth-district.
He owns no home here; he main
tains no law office here; two years
ago, he merely rented desk room
here during the few weeks he
favored "his people, with his
presence. The present Mrs. Miller
never has visited Duluth but once
and that was when Clarence got
badly scared over mutiny in the
ranks of the G. O. P.
But the people Of this great
Eighth district do not resent Mr..
Miller's absentee landordism so
much as they do his nasty attitude
towards president Wilson. AL
though he pirates of standing by
the government and winning this
great world war, he ever has stood
ready to stick a knife between the
Wilsonian ribs.
Congressman Miller stands con-
victed by his own letters, signed
by his own hand. In another col
umn is a fac smile of as nasty,

PROFITEERING.

The following editorial from the
Labor World is most respectfully
referred to Michigan street COM
mission firms for their careful
consideration, viz:
Butter at IS cents and eggs at
so cents.
Phew!
What will prices be this winter?
The time is now right when the
government should quickly and
promptly squelch those responsible
for these high prices.
They tell us the government has
Communicated this and that, and
yet if you are willing to pay the
price it is yours for the asking.
There is food profteering going
on in the United States. In order
to win the war we must have COM
plete unity and to have this unity
the profteers should be put where
they belong-in Jail.
It is true the workers have had
wage increases, but the increases
are much lower than the increase
demanded for foodstuffs.
Let's give the profteers a dose
of Americanism, for no real
American is a profteer.
