The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-03-09

A clerk might be the finest fell
low, personally, imaginable, but
entirely untitled through tenn
permanent, training, age or asso-
Citations for retaining his value to
his employer.
This same principle applies to
the case of Commissioner Silber-
stein and the people. Thousands
have nothing but best wishes for
him personally, but consider him
wholly unsatisfactory as a COM
missioner Of public safety:
If content to take the depart
ment of public affairs, the people
might have patiently awaited the
expiration of Mr.. Silberstein's,
term Of office before making, a
change in public servants. But
Mr.. Silberstein. was. determined ;
to wear w. A. ,Hicken's old
shoes, no matter how poorly his
feet filled them. r
There is proof, and to spare, as
ltd GoMmissi Isl herstain, s ip..
ability or lack Sf desire fo fix and,
maintain definite policies. He
has sadly wobbled, floated along
with ebh. and flow of the tides,
and leaned in every direction
with the blowing of the munich
pal winds.
Mr.. Silberstein would not en-
dure such a policy, or lack Of
policy, on tho part Of an employe
in the Silberstein store. and the
people of Duluth neither need
nor wish to permit it in their city
hall.
Of course, two of Mr.. Silber-
STEMS mistakes have been the Sc
lection Of the present city attor-
ney and the retention of the pres
ent chief of police. Both those
appointees are just as unsatisfac-
tory to a great majority Of the
people as Mr.. Silberstein, him
self.
The dumping of Walter Con
ska displeased those who put Mr..
Silberstein into office. The fact
that the city attorney threw
down his assistant to save his own
head was taken badly by the men
who made Mr.. Silberstein elec-
tion possible.
Recent events in connection
with the chief of police have
opened the eyes of the city to the
character of the man and his
methods of administration. The
people consider him highly unfit
for so responsible a position.
Mr.. Silberstein, VIXEN the Mar
mon car scandal came up, made
no effort to properly investigate
and then inform the people. He
lodged, wriggled, grinned and
made few feints and dabs with
his .whitewash brush. The people
took that incident badly, al
though they did not roar loudly.
Last spring Mr.. Snively's
friends urged him to stand for
commissioner. He started his
campaign hardly in time. Many
friends were unable to organize
and help as they wished and
should have done. But, in the
primaries, Mr.. Snively showed
the newcomers and younger gen.
Grafton how he was esteemed :
here and what manner Of man he
really is. . ....e.
| It was shame to Mr.. Snively's
friends and a great loss to the
city that he was not elected, as
he should have been and could
have been. Next June, if Mr..
Snively is willing, those friends,
assisted by others, will retrieve,
their failure Of last March.

The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-03-09

A red-hot municipal election is
in prospect for Superior.
Five mayoralty candidates are
in the field but it is believed one
of them will pull out. g.
The primaries will be held
Tuesday, March 19. The election
will come on Tuesday, April 2.
In addition to electing a mayor,
the people will vote on the wet
and dry question.
Oftcourse Mayor Konkel has
filed and expects to succeed him
self. He will run ON platform
that credits him with being per
sonally responsible for Superior's s
prosperity but, not for the world
war. He poses as the. first and
only man to solye the liquor prob
lem. So far, Mayor Konkel's arr
guments have been an appeal to
the dollar sense. Licensed sa-
looms are his great panacea for
all ills, municipal and human, :

has. filed. At one time it was ex-
pested that he would be Mayos
Konkel's only opponent of inn
.portance. Mr.. Baxter stands well
as a citizen, legislator, business
man and friend of labor. Mayor
Konkel and the brains behind the
official chair assume to belittle
Mr.. Baxter's Importance in the
campaign.
Olaf johnson, for fifteen years
chief of Superior fire depart
ment, formally announced his
candidacy Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. johnson has a wide acquaint-
ance and mapy friends. He has
been active in the Commercial
club, the Rotary club and the
Y: M. C. A. 1t is believed that
he will poll a heavy Scandinavian
vote.
Roy Arnold, chief weighmaster
for Wisconsin at Superior, has
filed for mayor. He is a univer-
sity man, a noted athlete, pos
sessed of high ideals and sterling
honesty. He is a man Of great
energy and hustle and is expected
to put plenty Of "pep" into the
preliminaries. He is an avowed
dry man, stating that he has
voted dry three times in Superior
and proposes to do so this spring.
Solon L. Perrin has been made
a candidate by friends. He was
in Milwaukee this week and,
Thursday, many believed that he
did not even know papers had
been filed in his behalf and that
he would withdraw his name on
his return. He is extremely busy
as member Of the safety com
mission.
Ellis B. Harris is the socialist
candidate. He is highly esteemed
but not looked on with high favor
as mayoralty candidate outside
of his party ranks.
TO date, Mr.. Arnold is the only
one to explicitly say how he
stands on the wet and dry issue.
Senator Baxter says that if Su-
perior goes wet he will favor Ii
censes for 60 saloons and strictly
enforce the laws. If the town
goes dry, he expects to respect
the verdict of the voters. Chief
johnson is a clean man person
ally and, if elected mayor of a
wet town, may be expected to
give the laws genuine enforce.

his position on this issue.

PRESIDENT WILL BE
ASKED TO STOP HERE
ON HIS Big TRIP
Efforts VIII Be Made to Have Presl-
dent Wilson Stop on in MaysviIle
On His Trip Across the COun-
try If He Passes Over the
C. q o. Route.

It became known yesterday that a
very special effort will be made to
have President Woodrow Wilson stop
off in Maysville for few hours to de-
liver an address in his whirl wind
trip across the continent during the
next Liberty Loan drive should he be
routed over the c. & o. line through
this section.
1t is announced from Washington
that the President will take such
trip across the country in the interest
of the drive making many speeches
but his itinery is not announced and
will not be announced until shortly
before he leaves Washington. Every
prominent city in the country is max
ing special effort to have the Presi-
dent to spend the day with them and
very special effort Is being made by
Cincinnati. Ohio, and Huntington, w.
Va. Should these two cities secure
the President for an address 1t Is
more than likely that he will pass
through Maysville over the c. & o.
road and in case he does he will be
urged to stop of in this city for
few hours.
President Wilson has never been in
Maysville and very few Maysville or
Mason county people have ever seen
him or have ever had the privilege of
hearing him speak and 1t is to be
hoped that the men who are behind
this move will meet with success in
their endeavor.
1t has Just become known that there
is being a special effort to have an
other one of our prominent citizens to
make an address in Maysville in the
very near future.
Hon. William Howard Taft, former
president and a man who has become
very popular with the people of this
section since the country entered the
war with members of both political
parties and who has always had a
great following here, will address the
West Virginia State Bankers :Asso-
citation in Huntington on Wednesday,
September 49, He will pass through
Maysville over the C. & o. either on
that day or the day following and an
effort is being made to have him stop
off here to make an address,
1t seems very likely that the former
President can be induced to stop in
Maysvllle, however, It will be definite
ly announced In plenty Of time to as
sure him one of the biggest and best
audiences he has faced in any small
town during his speaking tour over
the country on win-the-war subjects.

YOUNG MEN over
10 may ATTEND
SCHOOL FREE
County Superintendent Turnipseed
Receives Letter From State Nor
NAL School Saying That
Young Men In Draft Age
May Attend School
and Receive Pay.


County Superintendent of Schools
George H. Turnipseed yesterday re-
ceived a letter from the State Normal
School at Richmond, KY, which ex-
plains fully matter in which there
has been much interest here and
which has been discussed consider
ably all over the country.
The question was whether or not
young men in the draft attending col
lege could receive their tuition. and
at the same time receive the regular
army pay.
The letter Superintendent Turnip-
seed received yesterday says in part:
young men Is years old and over
who are graduates of four year High
Schools or the equivalent may enter
the "R. A T. c." units, be boarded,
clothed, tuition paid and receive the
pay of a private - $4,000 a month
while in college. This is great OPP
portunity."
There is now no excuse for young
man of High School education who
comes within the new draft not re-
ceiving a good Normal School educa-
ton for all expenses are paid and he
receives a good salary while he Is
receiving his eudcation.
All young men from Mason county
who desire to take advantage OF this
opportunity must be nominated by the
County Superintendent but there Is
no limit to the number of young men
who may take advantage Of the offer.
The units will be organized on DC
tober l and Prof Turnipseed yester-
day said that he was hoping that there
would be many young men from Mason
county who would take advantage of
the offer. He said he would take great
pleasure in nominating any young
man who desires to take the training
and will do so If the young men will
call at his office at the Court House.
AS the time is short before the
opening of the courses it Is urged
upon all that they make application
within the next few days so that it
can be acted upon in time for the stu
dents to begin school at the opening
of the regular term.

NO FUNDS AVAILABLE
TO PAY CITY PENSIONS
City Pensioners Must Wait on Their
Checks This Month Until Council
Authorizes the Payment Of
All Pensions.

The City Aims Committee which
has the matter of dispensing city
aims and the payment of the city PEN
sions now completely in their hands
since by action of Council at the last
meeting this matter was taken from
the City Mission, found that they had
no funds for the payment of the city
pensions when application was made
to them this week.
Several orders for the payment of
city pensions were sent to the City
Clerk and City Treasurer but those
officials could not honor the orders
from the Aims Committee because
Council had not provided a fund for
the payment of these pensions.
1t is more than likely that there
will be an adjourned meeting of the
City Council held within the next few
days when the matter will be taken
up and cared for but until that time
the city pensioners will have to do
without their regular monthly allow
ance.

5 INDICTMENTS
RETURNED BY GRAND
JURY YESTERDAY
Mason County Grand Jury Makes q
Partial Report Returning Few
True Bllls-Is In Session
Again This Morning.


The Mason County Grand Jury re-
ported into court yesterday afternoon
late returning five indictments one Of
which was not announced being with
held by the officials until the one
against whom 1t is brought is in Gus
tody, there being reasons to believe
that the party might leave upon learn
ing of the indictment and not being
under arrest.
The indictments returned and the
bail fixed by Judge Newell follow:
Henry McGarvey-carnally knowing
female under 16 years of age-bail
$500. This case grew out of charges
made by local girl against McGar-
vey, who was mate on the excursion
steamer Homer Smith. McGarvey was
in the court room when the indict-
ment was returned and will stand
trial.
William McGraw and Jake Thorpe
Grand larceny - bail $500 each. 1t
will be remembered these two men
are charged with stealing brass from
the C. & o. railroad. McGraw is in
the county Jail awaiting trial and
Thorpe escaped from Jail several
months ago and is still at large.
j. B. Allison-breach of the peace
bail $4,000.
]. B. Allison-carrying concealed a
deadly weapon-$50.
During the day the Grand Jury was
very busy investigating the alleged
embezzlement of former City Clerk
G. Wood Owens. Several of the city
officials were summoned before the
jury and the expert accountants who
are now at work en- the city's books
were also before the jury during the
day.
The jury's reporting yesterday af-
ternoon does not mean that they are
anything like finished with their work
and they will be back on the job
again this morning at nine o'clock to
take up their investigations where
they left off.
Members of the jury hoped to be able
to complete their work within the
next few days but it is understood
they have quite a job before them and
the investigation of the Owens case
alone is occupying much of their time.
Other matters, 1t is understood, are
also to come up for investigation
which will hold the jury in session for
several days yet to come.

PHYSICIAN WITH D. T.
TAKEN FROM TRAIN
Prominent Western Physician In
Serious Condition Is Taken From
Train Here When Five Men
Could Not Hold Him.

c. & o. train Number Two yester-
day was rather badly torn up by the
actions of man who gave his name
as DR.. Charles H. Kniver, of the state
OF Iowa, who was suffering from de-
lirium tremens in an advanced stage.
The physician said that he was on
his way from the West to Ashland,
KY, to visit. He had been drinking
considerably and had run out of wet
goods. His condition was pitiable and
five men were required to hold him
just before the fast train arrived at
the local depot.
The police had been advised to
meet the train at the station and they
took him to the county Jail where he
was given medical attention and late
yesterday seemed to be getting along
very nicely although very weak from
his struggle and very nervous
The man is said to be a practising
physician of high standing in his
home town but he refused to give the
name of his home town saying only
that he was from the state of Iowa.
