A SUFFRAGETTE BRIDGE.

Mrs. Olson became completely
Gsgusted because a.. road was
not constructed to the Peter o.
son farm, tributary to Buhl. She
tackled township road foreman
Stuart and he very ungallantly
informed the lady that if she
wanted a road to her farm, she
would have to build it herself.
Madam Olson showed foreman
Stewart what a small potato he
was in her estimation by going
ahead with the work. She first
went into the woods and hewed
out timbers for a bridge which
she constructed across a 12-foot
stream. She then built a quarter
of a mile Of road. Both road and
bridge are as good as any mere
man could make and much bet
ter than many Of them do make.
It has been suggested that c.
M. Atkinson secure Madam o.
sons services and then shame
commissioner O'Neil by putting
the Sturgeon lake road in proper
condition. .., ....-
Madam Olson seems to Be en-
tirely independent of modern
man. Like Belva Lockwood. she
probably feels able to give the
miserable males of the species
tit for tat.

mammoth Mormon car had been

car had imbibed too freely, hence
its gay and illegal, rate of@speed
through the suburbs Of staid old
Superior. Such was not the case,
commissioner Voss assures the
Rip-saws readers.
.'Capt. Fiskett's family is tax
ing an outing at Lake Nebaga-
mon," said the commissioner of
finance, ''and he wished to make
Mrs. Fiskett a visit as we'll as
take over some supplies. Chief
McKercher offered to. take the
supplies and Capt. Fiskett over
in his machine. I went along
for the ride.''
The expression on commissioner
Voss' face, however, indicated
to the Rip-saw reporter that he
really does feel that the Big
Chief drives too fast when out
on the road.

was assured that the dear old su-
perintendent could manipulate
them into place with his gentle
and skillful fingers.
These terrible facts are not yet
known to the general public in
Proctor but, when they are, if
Supt. Grubbs has the gall to come
back tar, feathers or even rope
may be his lot.
Supt. Grubbs is a married man
with two sons in the army. He
came to Proctor from another
state. His election is due to a
feud between factions and came
without proper preliminary inves-
tigation of his record in school
work. When that record was
looked up it was found that he
had not served one school at all,
which he named as a reference,
and that, in another school, his
service was short and unsatisfac-
tory.
It also is believed, that Supt.
Grubbs is habitual user of some
narcotic drug. He has not been
with many of the teachers
and nearly all Of the old ones quit
under his administration.
At the meeting Of the school
board on July 13. Noah A.
Young, superintendent of county
schools, was asked to be present.
Although Proctor maintains an in
dependent school district, Supt.
Young's counsel and judgment
were desired by some Of the di-
rectors. He strongly advised that
Supt. Grubbs be eliminated but
urged any factions on the board
not to indulge in mutual re-
proaches or blame, counseling
them to put on the soft pedal and
to keep very quiet about the ter
rible scandal.
The outlook lis, therefore, that
Proctor soon will be in the mar
ket for new superintendent of
village schools.

arrested a. couple Of weeks ago
for violating the speed laws. Of
course that mammoth Mormon car
was responsible for any infrac-
tions of the regulations in the

of the story, chief McKercher was
driving his car at an ungodly
speed through the city. A motor

mouths Of some Of the directors
and it was given scanty attention.
Now come the allegations that
Schultz regretted his resignation;
that he broached the plan for his
-, subordinates to petition for his re-
tention; that the election of all
those teachers was slated a month
henceN therefore they feared ad-
verse reports by their principal
as to their records if they refused
to sign the petition; that some of
the older, better established teach
ers refused to sign that the teach
er who carried the petition to the
clerk of the school board privately
limited to the clerk that a proper
disposition would be to pigeon
hole the communication.
AS a black mark against the
Schultz regime, those enthusias-
tica1ly patriotic point out that,
when the war first was declared
against Germany, not single boy
enlisted in the navy from the Den,
| field high. school, although patriot,
| ism ran rampant in the Central
high school, about 80 boys leaving
for enlistment.
At least one member Of the
teachers committee declares that
.Supt. Hoke never presented
Schultz letter of resignation to
the committee; The members Of
the board never saw it. Director
Firoved's inquiry into matters a
short time ago caused Supt. Hoke
to give him a copy Of the letter,
the same being published in a local
daily paper.
Why or how a man discredited
in the community. where he
worked two years, charged with
coldness against Uncle Sam and
warmth for the Huns, ever secured
a position as assistant manager Of
war contracts, cannot be under
stood by citizens outside Of Du-
luth's inner circles.
There are those who believe that
Herr Schultz secured his fat job
through recommendations by ban
ker John N. Peyton, Supt. Hoke
and, possibly, director Davis.
Many plain, common, but in
tensely patriotic citizens, would
give much to know the true facts
in the case.

A BAREFOOT JAG.

A man somewhat the worse
for a wrestle with Old John
Barleycorn recently walked into
Towers store at New Duluth with
nothing on his feet but a pair
Of German socks. He said that
he had been over to. Oliver and
that when sleeping off the ef-
fects Of his wrestie s1me one
stole his shoes off his feet.

W 0tAIOA OUlllpdlly
eff I were in your place,
would not do anything to further
Wilson's murder policy"
Those are the words T. H
Schultz is alleged to have spoke1
in reply to the teachers of the Ely
school at West Duluth who sought
his advice as to investment in the
first issue Of Liberty war bonds.
At that time Herr Schultz wa.
principal of the Denfeld higl
school at West Duluth. Today, hi
is assistant. manager Of war con
tracts for the F. A. Patrick inter
ests, at a substantial salary, Of
course.
Some Of Herr Schutte's critic!
declare that even if that gentle
man did not get any Of the Ger
man propaganda dough from
Bernstorff and others, early in the
European war, he was a strong
German propagandist without it
Herr Schutte's apologists ex
press the opinin that he wa
strongly anti-British, rather thar
pro- German.
Later, the West Duluth educator
is represented as having turned
pacifist over night.
Still later, the man who mini
mized Abraham Lincoln s sterling
qualities and boosted those of ole
Bismarck, took a hand in the sec
ond Liberty bond sale as lieu
tenant under John N. Peyton, not
only getting solidly into the good
graces of that noted financier, but
rolling up a creditable sale Of
$4,000 worth of Uncle Sans wa1
securities.
1t cannot be disputed that the
federal department Of justice had
Herr Schultz under investigation
last year. Some Of the teachers
most familiar with his expression
Of sentiments the year before had
left the Duluth schools. Others
are represented as fearing to tell
all they knew, seeing possible loss
Of their positions, Herr Schultz
standing high in the favor of a
majority Of the teachers commit
tee on the board of education, as
well as with Supt. Hoke.
Even school teachers sometimes
think more of the retention of
their positions than they do Of tes-
tifying freely against an alleged
pro-German.-
1t now plainly appears that Herr
Schultz got in extremely bad with
patrons and students Of the Den
field high school. The disparage-
ment of Abraham Lincoln at the
time Of the Father and Son ban
quet last February seems to have
been the climax. Patrons, if not
committees, ragged against his re-
tention as principal.
One old Grand Army man at
West Duluth is represented as say
ing to director Foster:
eff you elect Schultz again we
will hang him. -
There are allegations that Supt.
Hoke and at least some members
of the teachers committee knew
all about conditions. 1t is fur
ther alleged that plan was fixed
up whereby Schultz was to get a
reelection and advance in salary
with the private understanding
that he resign Immediately after
wards. School board records sup
port that allegation.
School board records also show
that a number of Schutte's subor-
dinates joined in a petition to the
board that he be retained. That
petition made pad taste in the

An imperative demand has been
made on 3. c. Grubbs to immedi-
ately resign as superintendent Of
the Proctor schools. % Z Z
This sudden action by the Proc
tor board Of education is based on
charges Of moral degeneracy in
consistent in an educator and
highly detrimental to the moral
welfare of the pupils in charge.
Shocking and sensational
charges are supported by formal
statements from at least ten little
girls in the sixth, seventh and
eighth grades, from II to IA years
of age, who allege that the local
educator is guilty of taking i'm
proper. liberties with their per-
sons.
Supt. Grubbs has just finished
his second year in Proctor as SUI
perintendent and has a contract
for four years more. If he delays
in forwarding his resignation he
can and will be removed by a
unanimous vote of the directors,
such a vote, under the contract,
having legal power to cancel the
contract.
At the present time Supt.
Grubbs is supposed to be at a
farm he owns somewhere in Ne
braska.
Supt. Grubbs had "bug" for
the physical examination Of pu-
pills in the public schools. Last
year he sadly startled a consider
able number Of parents by inform
ing them that ther children were
threatened with dread tuberculo-
sis or even were in advanced
stages Of that disease.
Needing the educators warn
ing, these parents either had their
children examined by experts or
took such added good care Of them
that alleged symptoms Of tubercu-
losis quickly disappeared. Nat
urally, all such parents felt most
kindly toward the man who took
so deep an interest in their chill
dren and gave them timely warn
ing.
One boy whom Supt. Grubbs
declared to be in an advanced
stage of tuberculosis developed.
into record-breaking athlete and
no one now believes that he ever
had tuberculosis, either incipient
or advanced. Parents formerly
frightened by the Grubby infor-
nation now believe that the alarm
ist either did not know what he
was talking about or else was de-
liberately and maliciously scar
ing them for an unworthy motive.
But the moral pervert had the
best success with young girls,
when it came to satisfying his
morbid, degenerate desire for
physical examinations.
When possible, before a phys
ical examination, he asked the in
nocent little girls to take off their
waists and skirts. He did not
dare ask that of the children Of
some parents. When he found
that he had gone too far with some
discriminating maiden he quickly
backed UP. One pupil, only II
years old, Indignantly exclaimed:
eff you touch me, pa will give
you licking
Other little girls either had ig-
norant or complacent parents, or
were so young, innocent and un-
sophisticated that they did not re-
sent the indecent advances. Then
ne would ask them questions that
only parent or physician should
ask. He laid hands on their sa-
cred little persons and took inde-
cent liberties Of various kinds. i

these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish Influenza Is
Identical with the epidemics Of innuen-
Ia of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t Is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1880 and 1890 an epidemic
Of influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
iliZed world. Three years later there
was another flare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
although the present epidemic Is
called Spanish Influenza there Is no
reason to believe that 1t originated in
Spain. Some writers who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall Of 1917"
