A LITTLE BIT OF HE'LL.

Have you heard the tale about the
land that lies beyond the Rhine,
And who it was discovered that home
of Huns and swine?
One day old Satan felt distressed, the
sparks flew from his eyes,
And he said: "I'll find another home
somewhere beneath the Skies"
Chorus
So old Satan found a spot on earth,
all stepped in blood and crime,
And he hollers out with all his
might: This bit of earth Is
mine!"
IT'S the land of Huns and Kultur,
is this little bit of hell
Where they butcher babes and
mothers, as they murdered
Nurse Cavell.
They sent their imps In submarines
to murder on the sea,
And the rotten Kaiser never thought
what would the harvest be;
So the Devil sent for all his mob
and shouted out with glee;
II am going to move my Demons
here" and he called it Ger=
many!
When we get through with Kaiser
Bill, they'll be no Germany!

EN- GUARDE, CITIZENS.

| From apathy IN the matter OF
legislative candidates, the situa-
ton has changed almost to hys.
terra. Where certain candidates
had prospect of no opposition,
several opponents have filed.
Where a sane, healthy competi-
ton was in prospect, a multiple
ity Of willing Barkuses greatly
befogs the situation and endan-
gers the welfare of the people.
Although Old John Barleycorn
has been banished from St. Louis
county, with small prospect of
ever being permitted to return,
his former followers are cunning
ly trying to butt into the legis-
lative situation. Even one wet
man, elected from st. Louis coun-
ty, may keep the great State of
Minnesota from getting into the
dry column and from ratifying
the dry amendment to the federal
constitution.
Then the Big Interests, the Hid
den Hands, the pie-counter le-
gion and other arrogant, selfish
forces, are trying to show the
hands of Esau, when the voice is
plainly that of Jacob.
The loyal, patriotic, burden
bearing majority should take
every pains to see that sinister
influences do not side-track those
candidates whose hearts beat for
the people and whose voices will
not be lifted up exclusively for
benefit Of the few. This year of
! all years schemers, incompetents,
willing tools for selfish interests
and hidden hands should be cut
out, plainly branded and posi-
lively rejected.
Eternal vigilance is the price
Of liberty and, along with that,
must be the wisdom of the SER
pent and the harmlessness of the
dove. When it comes to selecting
candidates for the legislature,
foresight is by far more impor-
tant than hindsight.

CAUTION Is COMMEMORATE

When the school board decided
to establish the new position of
business manager, it probably
took a wise step forward. If that
idea was original with director
LeDuc, he is entitled to full
credit for his promotion of eff
ficiency.
If, however, director LeDuc
presented his new idea at a meet
ing of the board without previ-
ously taking his fellow directors
into his confidence, he did not
show them proper consideration.
If he expected them to jump
when he spoke and unquestion-
ingly elect his personal selection
to fill the position, he was asking
too much.
John Quincy Adams, director
LeDuc's personal choice for the
position of business manager for
the school board and, apparently,
director LeDuc's only choice, is
understood to be an able, af-
fable, honorable man. No one
questions his ability as an en-
gineer and, probably, he has ex-
ecutive ability far above the Or
binary. The chief cause of delay
in accepting or rejecting him
probably was the fact that sew
eral members of the board felt
responsible to their constituents,
something that has not troubled
Mr.. LeDuc at times, and a desire
not to act hastily when there was
no emergency demand for it.
Another reason why the men,
bers of the school board should
proceed slowly and carefully is
the fact that Mr.. Adams has been
a protege and deeply in the con-
fidence of county auditor Halden,
so-called King of the Courthouse,
for some time. Every precaution
should be taken to prevent any
political faction or a secret agent
of the Big Interests from driving
salient into the affairs of the
board of education.
When director LeDuc declares
that Mr.. John Quincy Adams is
the only man in the entire city of
Duluth capable Of and available
for filling the new position of
business manager of the school
board, he endangers his reputa-
ton for safety, sanity and good
judgment. Such wild statement
also harms, not helps, the man in
whose favor it is made.
If the board of education will
give Charles A. Bronson, for ex-
ample, competent assistant Sec
rotary and then vest him with
the title and duties of business
manager, we will wager director

THE UNLAWFUL OPERATION
OF AUTOMOBILES.

The Evening Herald recently
complained editorially because of
reckless, unlawful and dangerous
driving Of automobiles on Du-
iuth's streets. Complaints also
are made, the Herald assured Us,
because the law is not enforced
in the matter Of dinners and
muffler cut-outs.
The Rip-saw desires to vote aye
with the dear old Herald in it's
protest against reckless, unlawful,
dangerous and annoying hand
ling of automobiles on our pub
lie streets. Patience soon will
cease to be a virtue. The time is
dangerously near when Charley
Mitchell's mob law may have to
be invoked to regulate the Hun
nish abuses in automobile driv-
ing and handling.
Not only does this entirely too
general recklessness endanger
life and infringe on the rights of
pedestrians, but it wofully does
damage to personal property.
When our only pair of editorial
trousers gets despatched with
muck and mire, thrown on them
by a recklessly driven car or
truck, temper, sane habits of
speech and temptation to break
the peace are strained to the
limit.
Ut course commissioner Silber-
stein and chief of police McKer-
cher are greatly at fault. Every
few days, commissioner Silber-
stein comes out in the daily pa
pers with a statement of what he

DWORSCHAK FOR SENATOR

Of the four state senatorial
candidates in the Fifty-seventh
district, we ask and urge careful
consideration of the merits and
qualifications Of Henry Dwor-
schak, Jr.
Mr.. Dworschak is young man
Of clean morals, high ideals and
safe, sane ideas for putting them
into effect. He comes of sturdy
stock from th;t great ..liddl:
class which dominates this democ-
racy. His inherited tendencies,
his sympathies and his expert
ences cause his heart to beat for
the many rather than the few.
Henry Dworschak, Jr., was
born and reared in Duluth. He
was educated in the public
schools. He learned the printer s
trade in Duluth shop. He car
ries the card Of the International
Typographical Union.
For a considerable time, Mr..
Dworschak has filled the position
OF editor Of the Duluth Labor
World. His writings have been
characterized by sound common
sense, clarity and an educational
quality Of great power. AS a
moulder of public opinion and an
Influence in the course of desir-
able legislation, this clean, ambi-
tious, virile young man should be
just as effective in the halls of
legislation as in the editorial chair.
This is the era Of young men.
They are fighting successfully
over in the trenches of Europe to
make the world safe for democ-
racy, just the same as they fought
in the War of independence to
firmly establish democracy in the
New World. Young men like
Henry Dworschak have no blot
ted pasts to regret and no en-
tangling alliances to handicap
them. The fires of real de-
mocracy must be kept burning at
home as well as at the battle
front. Henry Dworschak has abil-
ity, enthusiasm, activity and
strength that fully and amply fit

GUARD THE GIRLS,

EIIectS or war and natural
tendencies Of the times are put
ting girls and women into vo-
cations previously monopolized by
men and boys. This condition ap-
plies to operators of elevators, in
Duluth as we'll as elsewhere.
Two obstacles confront women
who replace men as elevator op-
orators. One is low wages and the
other is a tendency Of male SUI
|periors to prey on the chastity of
their female subordinates.
1t is positively stated that one
of Duluth's leading hotels some
time ago reduced the wages of
girl elevator operators to $35 a
month. A respectable a;rl with
enough ability to meet the physi-
cal stress and grave responsibility
of operating an elevator was re-
quired to clothe, lodge, feed and
entertain herself on the beggarly
wag of $35 a month. It cannot be
properly done in these strenuous
times. Any hotel that asks or
expects such an impossibility,
should be stunned by every loyal
American.
Another column contains the
sordid, startling, shameful story
OF how a poor orphan immigrant,
unable to read, write or even
properly speak the English lam
guage, was deceived, insulted and
assaulted by a degenerate male
employed by the great state Of
Minnesota.
Even to win this war, women
and girls should not be expected
to give up their honor and chas-
tity to any human wolf who may
lust after them. Parents cannot
be too careful in closely safe
guarding any daughters who may
essay the work of a man. Any
man who attempts to prey on the
chastity of an orphan girl from
strange land should be so
treated that his species cannot
be perpetuated.

DUTCH COURAGE.

A whiskey key in a cellar lay,
Full of Kentucky Pride;"
1t sprung a tiny leak one day.,
The booze dripped from it's side.
A small gray mouse in the cellar
dwelt,
A shy little mouse was he:
He shifted around and he said, as he
smelt,
"That stuff smells good to me-"
He shifted again, then he shifted
once more,
And a smile came DER his face;
He rubbered around till he was more
There was no one in the place.
For he was a clever and cautious
mouse,
And wise as you might know;
For an old gray cat patrolled that
house,
And hunted him high and low.
He crept to the key and he took one
taste,
And he smacked his lips with glee;
And he squeaked, when that stuff
goes to waste
It seems a shame to me-"
So with one more taste and one more
smile,
His bristles stuck straight out;
He Strengthened up and he wiped his
chin,
And you should have heard him
shout:
II never did feel like this before,
You can bet your life on that;
Just wait until I take one guzzle
more,
Then bring on your darned old
cat!"

In 1913 but 26 per cent of the
cost Of a loaf Of bread to the
customer went to the farmer, as

In 1913, 6S per cent of the price
