CANNY CANDIDATE CULLUM.

When it comes to keeping the
left hand in ignorance of what the
right hand is doing, you must
hand the medal to former mayor
Marcus B. Cullum.
Mr.. Cullum, it may be well to
keep in mind, is a candidate in
the Fifty-seventh legislative dis
trict for a seat in the lower house
of the legislature. Why he is a
candidate or what he wishes to
put across in the halls of legisla-
ton next winter, he neglects to
tell the people.
Until recently, at least, Mr.. Gull
lum was on the payrolls of the
land department of the U. S. Steel
Corporation at $1,000 a year, if
information is correct. 1t must
have been a salary very close to
that for, months ago, the former
mayor stated that he had a salary
better than any political job in
the city would pay.
Citizen Cullum is represented
as saying that his name was
stricken from the Wolvin build
ing payrolls when he filed for the
legislative nomination. Even so,
there is nothing to prevent that
name from going on again, at any
old time.
If the Wolvin building interests
can afford to pay newspaper re-
porter $500 for merely keeping
watch that nothing is slipped over
on the Big Corporation during a
legislative session, then there need
be no worry over how citizen Gull

lum will fare, whether he is elect
ed or. defeated. ....
But here's the joke and an IL
lustration of how canny, cunning
and noiseless citizen Cullum can
be. He has maintained an office
in the Providence building, re-
mote from the noble Wolvin build
ing. He has gone in and come ont
without ostentation. When not at
his desk, he has met A. G. Volk's
test Of a gentleman by playing
golf.
Nearly every person in Duluth
has believed that former mayor
Cullum was clubbing along N the
real estate business. The general
impression has been that the Dasi-
ness was not going profitably with
him. Several kind-hearted chaps
have, at times, been on the point
of saying to their former mayor,
"Can you use an K a few days,
old chap"
A very few also believed that
citizen Cullum, the only man in
Duluth who admits that he assays
loyalty 100 per cent plus, has
been holding down a job under
the Federal Department Of Justice.
Even those who feared that their
former mayor was nor prospecting,
believed that he knocked about
the little golf ball to keep his
mind off his business worries.
Now, as a result of this glad
some campaign year, the synpa-
thetic people learn that poor old
Cullum has been drawing a hand
some salary for several years from
a corporation that is even bigger
than the u. S. government.
Incidentally, they are wonder
ing and wondering if citizen Cul-
lum, who fairly drips loyalty,
would have been a legislative can
didate had his name never been
written on the payrolls Of the
Wolvin building.

DW0RsCHAK FOR SENATOR.

. We earnestly suggest that the.
voters of the Fifty-seventh legis-
lative district think twice before
they fail to cast a vote for Henry
Dworschak, Jr., for state senator.
AS we have previously stated,
Mr.. Dworschak is young man of
ideals, sound principles, character
and ability. He is a man who will
60 onward and grow upward
rather than retrograde and de-
scend in his course of action and
human endeavor.
Henry Dworschak has a clean,
clear record. No Hidden Hands
clutch him. No entangling ALI
ances hamper him. He has no de-
vious, slippery, inconsistent past
to explain away or to discredit him
with citizens who desire legislative
candidates with unsullied political
character and records.
Two perennial and hardy can
ddates, H. w. Cheadle and
Charles E. Adams, ask the people
for more. 1t may be proper and
fitting that those two seasoned Of
fice-seeking veterans contest for
the pie-counter championship. It
will be interesting, if not profit
able, to see which medicine is the
stronger, the Realtor-C Commercial
Club curves or the Halden-taught
tactics of the marble-lined court
house.
There is neither sense nor ne
cessity in nominating two men of
similar kidney. The people are en-
titled to some variety in making
their choice. Although Hon.
!! George O'Sullivan is the superior
of the entire bunch when it comes
to manly beauty, physical strength
and fine raiment, his candidacy
must be considered merely a clev-
er advertisement of a Bevo dis
pensary and doughnut depot-an
outburst of Hibernian humor, cal
culated to add gaiety to the cam
paign but not to be taken serious
ly. The real choice must, there
fore, be made from three candi-
dates, Dworschak, Cheadle and
Adams.
The sound, safe, sensible proce-
dure, therefore, is to nominate
Mr.. Dworschak and then let his
competitor be the victor in the
Cheadle-Adams tourney.
Then, when the voters 90 to the
polls next November, they can
easily and positively show whether
they prefer an idealist of prin-
ciple, or a perennial, highly prac-
tical pie-counter materialist.
The decision is in the hands of
the voters of the Fifty-seventh
legislative district.

DULUTH's SCHOOL SYSTEM

Although most of the patrons,
the teachers and even the pupils,
as we'll as the leading educators
Of the country, knew it all the
time, for many years, the men,
bers of the Duluth Commercial
Club only recently found out that
Duluth has an admirable school
system.
For many weeks, the education
al committee Of the Club investi-
gated the local school system. In
stead Of going to the schools,
they had the schools come to
them through principals, heads Of
departments and supervisors, who
explained theory and practice.
Supt. Hoke, himself, with COM
prehensive charts, supplemented
by vocational director Noyes,
added the cap-sheaf to the edu-
cational information.
Soon afterwards, the .dignified
educational committee came out
with a report, setting forth the
theory Of the local system and
endorsing methods now in vogue.
An undertone in the report con-
veyed the impression that some
miracles rather recently have been
worked in the system.
How the report could have
been other than it was, cannot
be seen. In the first place, the
system retains much of it's merit
of long standing. In the second
place, the report smacks strongly
of Mr.. Edward M. Silberstein,
chairman of the committee, and
Mr.. j. R. McGiffert. Mr.. Silber-
stein has been credited with har-
boring an ambition to become a
member of the board Of educa-
ton and Mr.. McGiffert not only
is a dominant member now, but
president, as well.
1t certainly was a proper thing
for the Commercial Club to in
form its members as to the local
school system. Many of them
have had no opportunity for
first-hand information. Some are
toe deeply tied down to business
to take the time. Others no
longer have children Of school
age, hence lack deep personal in
terest. Still others care not a
whoop for the public schools, for
they hustle their own offspring
away to fashionable boarding
school in the East as soon as
they are old enough to shove out
Of the parental nest. It was high
time, therefore, that the club
learned what has been common
knowledge for SO many years.
For over a quarter of a GEN.
fury, the very best men Of Duluth
have served ably and efficiently

here. Several attempts to eradi.

had their initial development in
the labor union.

proposed legislation from the
standpoint Of the union man pri.

the standpoint of the people as a

Several members of organized
labor have filed for a nomination
for the legislature. Not a single
union man has aspired to an office
in the marble-lined courthouse. II
is only right, fair and proper that
organized labor in this great in.
dustrial county be directly repre-.
sented in the next legislature.
While we do not presume to
make personal reference or recon-

men who seek election to the halls
Of state legislation, we do ask, ad

various districts to carefully in.

accordingly. No harm and much

A PERSONAL WORD.

We are much gratified over the
many words Of approval and ap-
probation spoken to us concerning
the Rip-saw. Every week, every
day, in fact, readers 60 out Of
their way to say how they enjoy
the great family journal; how
they appreciate its policy Of CIV
ing inside information and show
ing how the wheels Of public af-
fairs revolve; how they believe
that Duluth needs such a paper as
the Rip-saw; how they cannot get
along without it.
It is a fact that the Rip-saw is
read by thousands and that it has
q powerful influence with the great
middle class. Those who dislike it
embrace a few Intellectual snobs
and some Of those who live by I'M
lawful cr devious ways.
At present, we are printing and
circulating 5000 copies an issue.
That number can and should be
boosted to 10000. This circula-
ton is effected by paid subscrip-
tions, street sales and newsstand
sales. Several dealers inform us
that close to half their counter
sales are to the very best women
Of the city.
Many who sniff at the Rip-saw
and find fault with it, thereby lay
ing foundation for a refusal to
subscribe, usually borrow a copy
of some neighbor who believes in
paying for his brain food.
A paid-up yearly subscription
list is a valuable asset. It gives a
publishing business a real back
bone as we'll as a superior influence
and argument for business sup
port. It enables a publisher to
properly plan and to make a bet
ter paper than when the support
is confined to street sales and even
newsstand sales. :.
We need, desire and solicit
heavier paid-up subscription sup
port. We ask and urge our friends
to convert their patronage into
the form of paid-up subscriptions.
Take the paper and pay for a
year if possible. If not, then do
SO for six months.
While it is not hard and fast
rule that subscriptions must be
paid in advance, they are worth
much more to us in that form.
Not only does the government ex-
pect subscriptions to be paid up
but that policy makes it unneces-
sary for us to collect. To collect
such small sums is slow, tedious
and very expensive work.
If the people Of st. Louis coun-
ty really desire such paper as
the Rip-saw, then give us paid
up subscription list substantial
enough to enable us to hire a
staff of helpers and to publish the
great family journal weekly.
We are ready and willing to
write out a receipt for you, kind
reader.

on the board Of education. Many
Of them have possessed broad ex-
perience, with a fine knowledge
of educational matters.
The former superintendent pos
sessed energy, enthusiasm and
kept abreast of the educational
times. His limitations were fin
ancial, rather than educational,
many maintain. When his con-
nection with the schools ceased,
there was enough momentum to
keep them running nicely until
the new administration became
fully familiar and effected plans
for further progress. /
The theory of the local sys-
tenn, as set forth by the educa>
tional committee of the CONNER
cial Club, has a familiar sound to
teachers and patrons who have
been intimate with the schools
for many years. \
The junior high school idea is
good one and has come to stay.
It is nothing new in Duluth. The
Washington, Irving and Lincoln
schools were organized and put in
operation under the old admins
tration.
There is nothing new here in
correlation. That idea was over
worked twenty years ago and
then permitted to seek it's pro-
per level.
Supervision has been advocated
and in use for many years, but not
the "swivel chair" variety. Ex-
pansion in supervision has been
logical and natural, with the
growth of the schools and ten
denotes Of the times. In more
cities than one has supervision
been a main stay in holding up
the hands Of an administration.
Night schools proved their
value a quarter Of a century ago,
over the opposition Of an able
president Of the board. Being
patronized chiefly by foreigners
for many years, the work was
confined to such essentials as
teaching them to read, write and
speak the English language, with
work in mathematics and book
keeping, rather than such fads
as art jewelry, clay modelling and
basketry. Growth Of population
and demands Of the day have
called for reasonable expansion.
Manual training was introduced
into the Duluth schools when the
idea was young in the United
States. It has prospered, ex-
banded and met reasonable re-
quirements. Recent advances in
the system must be commended
but costs and wastes might be
watched to advantage.
Vacation schools came long be-
fore the present administration
and before the Commercial Clubs
interest was awakened. The most
recent and noticeable develop
ment in these schools is the en-
trance to and departure from
the rooms by way of the win
dows.
To cut discussion short and sum
up sharply, we confidently assert
that no material change in the
general organization of the
schools has taken place recently.
In most cases, courses Of study
and outlines of work are quite
like what they were under the
former administration. In sup
port of that assertion, we will
stand or fall by records now
in charge Of the clerk Of the
board Of education, unless they
have been recently destroyed.
We firmly believe that those
records, covering many years,
will be found to deal fully
and tremendously with every
phase of educational suggestion
or approval contained in the
Commercial Clubs recent report.

Hooked to the listening post?
How would you like to trade your

Swapping it wrench for wrench,

When things get tough, where the

And you slip and skid when they call

When you're out of gear, where the

DRASTIC BREAO
OROER ISSUED
BY PRESIDENT
HEREAFTER PATRONS OF HOTELS,
RESTAURANTS AND DINING CARS
GET A SINGLE PORTION OF TWO
OUNCES OF WHEAT BREAD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
Two ounce bread portions were order
ed for the American people today.
President Wilson, at the suggestion
of the national food administration, to-
day ordered portions of nor more than
this weight of wheat bread be served
patrons by hotels, restaurants and din
ing cars.
This bread allowance is about the
same that is now observed in England,
and application OF the new rule is to
made Immediately.
The only exception to the rule re-
quiring two-ounce bread portions is
in instances where only one kind OF
bread, other than wheat bread, is or
dered, the portion served may then
consist of not exceeding four ounces
in weight. In no instance may rolls
served in public eating places weigh
more than one ounce.
