to the Rip-saw.) III. M. McKen-
zie has handed mayor Baxter his
resignation as a member of the
fire and police board. To date,
the mayor has not made an ap-
pointment to fill the vacancy
and who his choice will be, is
only matter of conjecture.
1t is expected in some circles
over here that the resignation of
James Duffy will eventually
reach mayor Baxter's hands. In
that event, he will surely and
safely have majority of that
board in harmony and sympathy
with his administration.
Mr.. Mckenzie, by the way, who
is connected with the Northwest
ern Oil Co., resigned rather than
lose the city's trade. He became
convinced that he could not leg
ally sit as a member Of the board
and, at the same time, sell oil to
the municipality.
= Mr.. Duffy is q conductor on
the Great Northern Railway. AS
such, he is reputed to hold rail
way passes. Under existing laws,
the possessor of a railway pass is
ineligible to a city office. 1t seems
quite certain, therefore, that Mr..
Duffy will have to give up, either
his pass or his office of honor.
Many observant but not direct
ly interested bystanders look for
a big explosion in Superior some
of these days. There are conflict
ing elements here and, one or
the other, in the course Of time,
will have to take the place Of
under dog. To date, mayor Baxter
has seemed in danger Of having
to do that. and his friends say
that he has, in a way, been COM
PEELED to sit On a back seat and
eat, considerable dirt. They aver
that he does not at all like the
taste Of it, and that he will spit
out the nauseous stuff, in due
course, and pass the platter to
the other fellows. ,
It is an indisputable fact that
Superior is far. from being
cleaned up. Underworld folk are
plentiful here, if those who know
and mix with that element tell
the truth.
One wise old sport, now rus
ticating in dear old Duluth, de-
clares that the gamblers are slow
ly but steadily drifting back to
Superior and quietly opening up
their games.
Another gay old bird states
that many of the pool halls here
are doing more or less gambling
but in rather a discreet way.
None Of them have dared to start
up their wheels but poker, craps
and blackjack are not uncommon
games. Some of them also are
quite well grown, as to size.
It is alleged that anywhere
from twenty to thirty redlight
dumps exist in Superior at this
time. 1t is estimated that they
shelter anywhere from 100 to $50
redlight ladies. Some very no.
torious men. are behind certain
Of these dumps. ...
At least some of the under.
world folk are being made to be-
lieve that Max Rosenberg, alias
"Gefuellte Max, " has a big pull
with this administration. Many
actually believe that he is the
fixer and that, through him,
favors must be bought and Sc
cured. One story has it that one
Wildner is the man who IS
|reputed to stand between Rosen-
berg and mayor Baxter.
If there is anything wicked in
this world that is unknown and
displeasing to Max Rosenberg,
those who know him best would
like to know what it is. Osten-
lsibly, he conducts the Cafe Amer

Gently made the trip, tried to
"Ride With jimmy but was
asked to get out of that comfort-
able conveyance and enter one
that was crowded with Austrians,
! Negroes, Bulgarians, Yankees
and several ''perfect ladies'
''Honk! honk! Toot! toot!''
Away went the caravan of
conveyances. Behind and ahead
were motorcycles, roadsters, lit
tie Fords and seven-passenger
| touring cars, all scorching toward
the bridge, anxious to enter the
!. environs Of Oliver and to assuage
burning thirst at the various
sp;rituous springs. On the bridge
over the N. P. R. r., was an
abandoned car, minus a front
wheel.
When you cross the big bridge,
mount the little hill and really
enter Oliver, you see several
drink emporiums and a goodly
EHumber of idle automobiles.
There are several freight ear
riers, too, heavily loaded, like
vel.itable ships Of the desert,
, with cases, kegs and barrels,
either for local concerns or ready
to run the blockade for Gary,
Duluth proper or the iron range
towns, in the small, silent hours
Of the night. How those massive
freighters accomplish that is an.
other story.
The Rip-saw Inspector saw
only quiet, orderly pilgrims in
that section of the village. There
was a reasonably brisk business
but 20 drunken men and no bois-
ferrous, wild and woolly actions
going on. 1t was like a country
Sunday school in comparison
with the Bowery in Duluth dur
ing the first half of the Silber-
stein regime.
Going westward, there are sew
eral additional places, but they
seemed orderly and we'll con-
Quoted. Still further, to the west
ward Judge Rebec conducts the
exclusive retail saloon in a two
story brick. There is three
sided bar downstairs and res
taurant upstairs. There is a
goodly patronage around his
place and much good fellowship,
but no rough stuff. = A couple
Of foreigners showed signs of
having celebrated just a little
too much.
Still further up the road there
is a wholesale place conducted
by former Superior saloon talent.
There, considerable infraction of
the ordinances was seen. Many
made bold to drink right on the
premises the stuff that they
bought at wholesale. Out in the
bushes groups of men and even
one automobile top were in evi-
dence, evidently engaged in crack,
ing cold bottles. There, even was
some drinking in the street and
on the walk. Sights and scenes
there would indicate either bold
infrastion Of the law or else a
second retail place.
One pilgrim at that point very
aggressively resented attempts
to load him into an automobile,
he having absorbed deeply and
too well. Conditions looked a
bit squally around there, but the
police seemed to be keeping close
watch Of things.
A reddish -colored; enclosed
delivery wagon stood in the
street. On its, sides were these

-Four Minute Men to Disband

r. 1. Vail, chairman of the four
minute men in this city, announced
today that the -four minute men as an
Organization, would be disbanded on
December "a. as their work will be
concluded on Christmas eve.
This decision was arrived at after
a series OF consultations In which
full weight was given to the views of
the various departments OF the gov
eminent, of the National Advisory
Council of our minute men, OF the
headquarters stan representatives OF
the field workers; the results OF which
were made known to President VIII
son by George Creel, chairman of the
committee.
The four minute men have done
splendid work in keeping the morale
of the people in this country at a
high plane, and in bringing before
eminent wished to have the citizens
of the country acquainted with.
Some have thought that it would not
be wise to disband the organization
at this time of transition from a war
basis to a peace basis, but 1t Is felt
that the subjects that will present
themselves during this period will of
necessity involve economic and politi-
cal questions, from the discussion of
which it would be practically impossi-
BILE to exclude partisan Vows.
Since the -four minute men are
strictly non-partisan, 1t would net be
advisable to use them for disseminat-
ing information upon such questions.
Also the organization was created for
and by the war emergency which actu-
ally ended with the signing of the
armistice on November IL. The ap-
preparation under which II was oper-
ated was distinctly an emergency ap-
preparation and while a balance Is still
available, 1t is not felt that 1t should
be drawn upon any longer than is alb
solutely necessary.
The interest of the theatres which
have so generously and unselfishly CO.
operated in the work. a also been
given careful attention and 1t Is
thought that II would not be fair to
ask them TO continue to break into
their programs. now that the termi-
nation of the emergency might incline
some of their patrons to be less pa
tent with such Interruptions.
