BOOZE FLOWS IN DULUTH.

Booze is just about as plenti-
fui in Duluth as bread. It is
not openly sold over the counter
but it flows freely in entirely too
many places, wholly contrary to
law. .
Both Duluth and st. Louis
county are dry by vote Of a
majority Of the people. In Ameri-
ca, if not in Germany, a majority
vote rules. It is up to the city
and county officials, therefore,
to enforce the law, strictly and
;mpsrtially, so long as it stands
on the statute books.
Superior has "a city commits
sioner in mayor Baxter who
takes pride in his oath Of office.
He not only was elected by those
who desired dry city and law
enforcement, but he feels an ob-
legation to that majority as we'll
as to himself and his oath of
office.
During the month of October,
close to $50 violators of the
prohibition ordinance were ar
rested in Superior. Fines for that
north aggregated $4,000. About
twenty automobiles were seized
for illegally carrying booze into
dry territory.
In Duluth, the city commits
sioners are conspicuous by their
silence and inactivity. Even those
who are not in sympathy with
violations Of dry ordinance, re-
train from yelling and reading
facts into the records.
The county attorney is asleep
at the switch. Worse than that,
ne has deserted his office and
gone far afield for b war title

THE INFLUENZA BAN.

The influenza ban was lifted
last Monday morning and we
hope that grumb1ers and fault
finders are happier than they
were while it was on.
This is selfish old world and
it looks as if Duluth had it's full
percentage Of selfish citizens
While the physicians and the
city officials were doing their
best to prevent sickness and
death, entirely too many were
whining, bowling and abusing
them for such steps as they
took to remedy conditions.
Lashed by certain elements
that suffered from the ban, the
commissioners, guided by the
health physician, frightened the
restrictions instead of easing
them up. - ~.-.
We never believed that Duluth,
ians would be guilty Of the tenn
pest of criticism, complaints and
abuse that followed. The uproar
indicated either excessive selfish
ness or ignorance, perhaps a
strong combination of both.
If a ban seemed wise to the
city authorities, it was their duty
to impose one. If, after a time,
they deemed it best to tighten
the ban, then they only did their
duty in taking steps to that end.
It may be that they erred in not
making the ban tighter in the
very beginning. It is human to
err. Even the wisest and loudest
critics of the commissioners might
not have done as we'll, if in au-
thority.
In the imposition Of a strict
ban, the. city officials had only
the welfare Of the city in view.
They had no political axes to
grind nor any selfish or mer-
cenary motives. Their sole pur-
pose was to prevent sickness
and death.
We have considered it both a
duty and pleasure to undergo
inconvenience if, thereby, only
one vacant chair could be avoided
in this city. A vacant chair. in a
family circle is not a cheering
object to observe as the days,
weeks and months go by.
Our sympathy has been with
those who. lost employment but
what was their loss compared
to that Of those who lost loved
ones. The dread influenza, took
heavy toll of precious lives in
this city. Those lives never can
he restored. Employment and d
few paltry dollars can be re-
gained.
Any true, loyal genuine Dbl
luthisn should hang his head
in shame for bowling over in
fli,enza restrictions imposed by
tho anthoritieS.

LET US SMILE.

The thing that goes the farthest
towards making life worth while;
That costs the least and does the
most, is just pleasant smile.
The smile that bubbles from a beart
that loves his fellow men
Will drive away the cloud of gloom
and coax the sun again.
It's full Of worth and goodness, too,
with manly kindness blent-
It's worth q million dollars, and Il
doesn't cost . cent.

Crazed by avarice, lust, and rum.

WILL ESTABLISH
 CANDY FACTORY
S. Switow Expects. to Have Plant Ready Soon And Will Sell Pro-
 ducts To Jobbers.

s. Switow has severed his connec- ton with the Huguley-Jones Compa- ny to establish a candy factory in Newport, according to an announce ment made by Mr. Switown Monday, and he hopes to have his plant, to be the only one of it's kind in this sec ton of the state, in operation within a very short time. The factory will be located somewhere on Front street.
 MT. Switow will manufacture can dy exclusively for the jobbers, who have assured him they will handle his output. At the beginning peanut candy will be made, but later MT. Switow will take up the manufacture of other kinds.
 Mr. Switow is no stranger to the candy business. In his former home state, Kentucky, he conducted candy factories and is expert in that line of endeavor. He says his enterprise will be permanent, in which connec- tion it is we'll to announce that grow CTS of Spanish peanuts in Jackson county will find ready market here. There is money in peanuts, and far mers would do well to give few acres to the crop each year.

 Of the 63,000 officers and soldiers given by Arkansas to the American army, 42,O00 participated in the bloody battles of France and Elan ders. This was probably the record for any state in the Union according to the statement made by Gov. Chas. H. BTough Thanksgiving Day at the Camp Pike union prayer and praise service, which was the official victory celebration of the cantonment. More than $500 officers and enlisted men participated and speeches were made by Gov. Brough and Colonel Charles Miller, commanding officer. Col. Miller told of the effect of the dis ciplinary, athletic and educational training of the soldier upon his pre- paration for peace and urged the men who are so soon to enter civil life anew to carry back home the lessons they have learned so as to be leaders for welfare in their commun- ities.

AMERICANS, STILL
 FIGHT IN RUSSIA

Archangel, Saturday, Nov. 30.-- The Russo-American forces, continu- ing their advance u, the Pinega riv- CT over ice and snow covered roads, have captured, the town of Krapagor- skoi, 13O miles from the town of Pin ega, after a fight with the Bolshe- wiki. This place since the organiza- tion of the new government of Arch angel was a Russo-allied provision depot, but it was raided and captured by the Bolsheviki and since then had been the scene of much partisan fighting.
 A patrol of 70 Americans scouting yesterday along the Vaga river south of Shengursk encountered 10-fold superior force of Bolsheviki, includ- ing cavalry and infantry, with many machine guns. The Americans were surrounded, but fought their way out, losing lieutenant and 12 men killed.

You may still help us if you ever really get in. But have no fear, Ma dame, have no fear; we shall never give up while there are any of us left!"
 Then he added, his voice dropping to whisper, But there are very few of us left"
 Let the brave pathos of those words sink deep into every American heart. It is true that there are few of the fathers left, but, thank God. there are still the children, and the work we have to do is to fit them to fill the places left empty by heroic deeds.
 Is it not worth while trying to re- build, not merely church or a village or town, but to reconstruct great nation?
