Have you ever committed suicide

The recruit in his new uniform was
seated at the cafe table with the idol
Of his dreams, sweet young thing
whom he had pursued for years. He
made no attempt to hide his love for
her, and after he had applied his at
tentions ceaselessly all the evening,
she said:
my dear, il you are as true to
Uncle Sam as you have been to me,
this is going to be one hell of a war"
The theatrical managers are be-
coming more thoughtful and less

In one of the new productions the
manager gives Mr.. De Soto credit for
discovering the Mississippi river,
which is used in the play. This is the
last word against stealing other
mems stuff.

The Liberty Loan Drive
by Walter S. Greenough]

With the receipt of notice from the secretary
of the treasury that the seventh federal reserve
district will be expected to return at least $50
percent of the minimum allotment in the Third
Liberty loan bond distribution, the Indiana or
ganization readjusted the clutch and is back Gin
high" 1t must remain there, too, for the re-
. mainder of the campaign, in order that the gov
eminent may have the benefit Of the $8O,O0OO0O
of bond distribution wanted instead of the $685.
10000 minimum originally fixed as the states
proportion of the three billion dollar enterprise.
Statesmen have been called in by every county
chairman and informed that their task has been
magnified-more than the mere so percent Of
additional bond distribution asked, by the neces-
sity Of their reviving interest reuvenating their
personal organizations and perhaps, in many in
stances reworking the territory once covered.
There is unanimous report of well do our
BEST" and it is upon this determination that the
Indiana executive committee is depending for the
results desired in Washington.
1t is becoming increasingly evident that the
task of raising money in Indiana agricultural
communities, feared because of the loss of the
1917 crop, is not the big obstacle in the path
way to success. The rural communities are re-
spending in a very satisfactory manner, even in
the face of the unexpectedly increased allotment
But some of the larger communities, such as
Allen, Cass, Howard, st. Joseph, Vigo and Mar
ion counties, where manufacturers, capitalists
captains of industry-in fact the prosperity of
the entire population-are dependent upon the
ability of the government adequately to prepare
for the war, are apparently unmindful of the
consequences of their failure to meet the financ-
ial requirements of the situation. 1t rests with
them largely, whether the state is to make
creditable showing in the Third Liberty Loan
drive, and no explanation will suffice to answer
the charge of Stacking
In communities where personal, political or
other jealousies, rivalries conflicts of interest
have served to obscure the loan and it's signific-
ance, the requirements of the situation are such
that patience is no longer virtue on the part of
genuinely patriotic citizens, and the obstruc-
tionists are being called upon to set all other
considerations aside and devote themselves I'M
reservedly and unstintedly to making the loan
drive complete success.

SIX YEARS.

To those unfortunate people who
are victims Of piles or rectal fistula,
the Interstate Doctors hold out hopes
of a speedy cure by their new blood
less methods. They cure piles and
fistula without the surgeons knife or
chloroform. The following letter from
a prominent Mooreland, Ind, man, is
proof of the new method. Mr.. Paul
writes as follows:
Mooreland, Ind, Sept. 81, 1916.

a sufferer for several years with piles

lea, at No. 526 Tower avenue. It
is alleged that he has redlight
women upstairs and that he sells
booze in his place at 25 cents a
drink. He is credited with hav-
ing a second bunch of redlight
women at No. 514 Tower avenue
and a third aggregation near
the corner Of Third ST.. and Cum
mings avenue.
Until recently, Jim Colt, we'll
known on both sides of the Bay,
was Rosenberg's partner. He
dropped out Of the push some
time ago and was succeeded by
Willy Stevens, a notorious char
acter from Chicago and a kim
dred spirit with Rosenberg.
Roy Hill, another notorious
character, is reputed to have a
string of five women. For time
he conducted the National hotel.
Hill is reputed to have a pull
with states attorney Mckay.
Many Of the cigar stores are
reputed to be blinds for redlight
women. Third street gets into
the dragnet frequently but some
classy places on upper Tower
avenue and tributary territory
are credited with continuously es-
Gaping. Owners Of some of the
premises are credited with pro-
tecting their sporty tenants,
through business connections
with certain officials.
The outs and many of their
friends declare that existing con-
ditions are due to a spell Of COM
placency that has engulfed mayor
Baxter. His friends declare that
there is nothing to it; that his
strict instructions to the police
have been to clean the city and
that if it is not clean, no one
is responsible but the police. They
declare that if mayor Baxter Sc
cures power enough to do a bit
of wedding on the police force,
there will be an exodus Of
gamblers, panderers, blind-pig-
gers and redlight ladies that will
make one think Of the Jewish
flight from Egypt or the foot
race to get out. of Sodom and
Gomorrah. They declare that his
inability to secure the resigna-
tion of detective Mcdonald and
others is a fair indication as to
why and how his hands are tied.
Mayor Baxter, himself, when
interrogated, merely smiles, de-
precates the idea that he, has
become complacent or fixable and
pleasantly asks his interrogators
to be patient. and await future
Developments.

GAMBLING UNDER ClDDINCS' STORE
Critical Citizens Believe Sbersten Should Clean Duluth

Critical citizens are wondering
why commissioner Silberstein

Those citizens wish to know
why he does not stop that crap

These critical citizens wish to
know how many times the decent
but humble people on st. Croix
alley have complained to Onkel
Bernard and the Big Chief about
the immoral negro women down
there and just what satisfaction
they gave the complainants?
Perhaps Onkel Bernard can
prove whether or not there was
any real reason for a bibulous
boy to say recently:
"What's the use Of going to
Oliver for booze when I can buy
it cheaper at the New Duluth
police station?"
Can Onkel Bernard and his Big
Chief prove that all the contra
band booze at headquarters is
poured into the sewer?

SERAPH|NE SLIPS.

Joseph p. Seraphine no longer is
a deputy sheriff on the iron
ranges, his commission being re-
voked by sheriff Meining last
week.
Col. Seraphine at one time was
chief of police at Ely. Later, he en-
tered the service of the Oliver
Mining company and, as result,
was deputized by the sheriff of
the county, thereby giving him
legal authority. in exercising po-
lice powers. About year ago, he
was transferred from Ely to Vir-
ginia, on the MeSaba.

clare that possession of an auto
mobile and an inclination to fol-
low in the amourous footsteps of
Bobbie Burns, chief McKercher,
Daniel Webster and Harry Thaw
really brought about his downfall.
Wise boys who make specially
of knowing the inner workings of
things allege that Col. Seraphine
went automobile riding with a
classy young girl and that his con-
duct on the JOY ride was incon-
sistent with that of a deputy
sheriff, therefore it cost him his
commission.

wagon started for the Duluth
side Of the bridge. No news of
an arrest for introducing intoxi-

heard, therefore the policemen
