HALDEN IS KICKED OUT OF COURTHOUSE
SUPT. HOKE SOON WILL HIKE

E. Denfe1d was boosted out and be-
fore MIR. Hoke was given the place,
bot that the Central high school
head declined the position.
Direct inquiry of MIR. Young by
some of the present board brings a
statement that he never has been
offered the city superintendency,
bot that he wou1d accept It If Of
fered him in a proper spirit.
Mr. Young is handicapped by not
being a Co1umbia man and It is
whispered that Supt. Hoke either is
jea1ous of his Subordinate or else Of
Tended by frank, plain remarks
made to him at times by the sturdy
high school principal. The depart
ing superintendent can best explain
the truth or falsity OF these whis-
pers.
Supt. Hoke is represented as be-
ing IN doubt whether to resign or
to ask a leave Of absence. Which,
ever he does, no one really expects
to see him return to educational
work IN Du1uth. He Is getting out,
just as Mr. Noyes got out.
The school board will hold a spe-
cia1 meeting next Monday night
and It is not impossible that Supt.
Hoke then will Announce his wishes
or decision as to time and manner
of departure.

It seems quite we'll understood by
the board of education that Kremer
J. Hoke, superintendent Of the d.
10th pub1ic schools, Is all packed
and read to leave for Sunny France,
where he will serve Uncle Sam by
doing educational work among the
soldiers.
Sept. Hoke is represented as not
wishing to leave Until the influenza
lid Is lifted and the school machin-
cry IS running smoothly again. If
there Is undue delay in re-opening
the schools, however, he may decide
to depart very soon.
It also is stated that Supt. Hoke
has the manner of a man quite
anxious to dictate the selection OF
his successor. He and certain of his
staunch friends on the board of
education are credited with having
picked oct j. A. Starkweather,
present principal of the Lincoln
junior high school.
Principal Starkweathef not only
ranks we'll locally as a man and an
educator bot is a product of Co
lumbia university. His election to
the superintendency, temporarily or
permanently, not only would be a
boost for dear old Columbia bot,
also, wou1d enable MIR. Hoke and
his friends to chuck1e over the

The greatest I. w. w. killer in
the United States is Governor
Hunt of Arizona, and: he has what
would appear to our kept press
as a very foul method Of doing it.
He kills 'em by making the cop

Concerning the foregoing cir
cular letter from the "Big Four, :"
Duluth's alleged Food Hogs, the
Rip-saw's correspondent says:
"I saw a. box of pears opened
by a merchant in Hibbing which
was worth about 10 cents and a
poor bargain at that, although
consigned at the price Of 1915 a
box, strictly in keeping with the
conditions outlined in the circular
letter which I hand you. The mer-
chant has no chance Of redress, as
you plainly can see. The idea of
sending out such rotten, worthless
stuff for human consumption is
enough to warrant jamming the
rotten pears down the consignor' s
throat, box and all.
"This is not the only case of
the kind that I have noticed and
been told about. It is frequent
and common occurrence up here.
We range residents are obliged to
accept any old rotten stuff sent
out by the Michigan street monop-
olists.
Consumers and even retail
dealers up here are. praying for
relief Of some kind, from some
source. AS an autocrat, the old
Kaiser has nothing on the Mich
igan street combine.
"What, by the way, became of
the investigation started by the
city commissioners of Duluth over
a year ago?"
Michigan street Food Hogs seem
particularly fond Of cucumbers.
! Some weeks ago the 'Rip-saw told
about cucumber grower at Cedar
Lake, Aitkin Co., who consigned
four dozen of "extra fancy" Davis
Perfection cucumbers to- a Mich
igan street firm. At that time, Gu
cumbers no better, probably not SC
good as those consigned, were re-
failing at 10 to Is cents each in
the Duluth markets. The whole
sale quotation for cucumbers not
so good was 70 cents a dozen, So
dozen for hothouse product
The poor sucker shipped the eu
cumbers in a basket that cost hin
25 cents. Net proceeds from that
shipment were 10 cents for the AZ
big, fine cucumbers and an allow
ance of 20 cents for the basket.
Now comes a granger from
Meadowlands who states that he
also, consigned a basket Of cu
cumbers to a Michigan street Foot
Hog with the result that he was
allowed "a cents for cucumber
! and basket. He beat the Cedar
Lake chap by four cents.

Odin Halden, so-called King o1
the Courthouse, has been ban
ished.
The aged autocrat refused te
abdicate, therefore the people
kicked him out of their marble
lined headquarters.
Last week was a very hard one
on kings all along the line.
Following the example Of st
Louis county's democracy, th'
German >commoners served notice
on King Ludwig Of Bavaria, Kine
Friedrich August of Saxony an6
a big bunch Of lesser kings tt
pack up and 60.
The entire bunch, with a horde
of princelings, dukes and ever
duchesses, promptly gat, tarryine
not on the order Of their going.
Then Kaiser Wilhelm, the big
gest crook Of all, jumped his i'm
perial job and sneaked into Hol
land for safety's sake. ~.s.s.
Incidentally, on election day
the people of the Eighth congress
sional district of Minnesota served
legal notice on Congressman
Clarence Bernstorff Mueller tha'
his services will be dispensed with
after March 4, 1919.
William L. Carss, Proctor''

It was "some election that the
people Of St. Louis county pulled
off on Tuesday, November 5

ficers were reelected without
much expense and no opposition
Had the people really known
their power and opportunity, they
would have cleaned out at least
few Offices other than the audi
torial chambers.
Great regret now is expressed
that county attorney Warren E

so that he could more effectively

Walter Bergen defeated Odi1
Halden for the authorship by

for the fires and influenza, his ma
jority quite easily would have
been 1000.
Auditor Halden thought i
could not be done. He put up thu
greatest campaign. of his career
He was defeated signally and cas-

The big surprises Of election
were the defeats Of Miller ant

to cater as, probably, will be the
case with Frank L. Magic, his
successor.
Another big surprise was the
defeat of o. H. Griggs, in the
Sixty-first Legislative district, by
Mich. Boylan. The successful can
didate not only knew the people
but many resented the seeming
purpose Of Griggs' friends to
make political capital out of his
praiseworthy Red Cross service
in France.
At first it was believed that
Thomas H. McGilvray was elected
county surveyor in place of An

never has surveyed anything but
his paycheck while in office. The
election went to Capt. Rich, an
Eveleth man who holds job as

Another surprise to the loser
was the defeat Of senator George.
M. Peterson by Emil Erickson in
the Fifty-nintn legislative district.
The people seemed, to feel that
Sen. Peterson was too tightly tied
up with Food Hogs and Big In
terests. When Gov. Burnquist
abandoned his plan for having
special session Of the legislature
to vote relief for the forest fire
sufferers, he did so to enable
county auditor Halden to make
one of his noted grand stand plays.
Sen. Peterson wanted a special ses-

Patriotic Rally for Colored People

Last night at the colOred school a pa
triotic rally was held. The house was
crowded, and all present exhibited the
greatest interest and enthusiasm. Be-
fore the speaking a patriotic contert
was given by the school children.
Attorney Charles Strong first ad-
dressed the audience and announced
plans for the Speakers Bureau of the
county and urged the people to attend
every patriotic meeting.
Attorney George Richardson next
spoke on Thrift and War Savings, urg-
ing all to save their money and buy
stamps to help themselves and their
government.
The main address of the evening was
by Rev. E. Nash Broyles, who gave a
history of the war and explained our
motives in entering it and the problem
that confronts the country, He ap
pealed to all the colored people to have
a part in the giant undertaking. His
address was a masterpiece, and those
who heard it are urging Rev. Broyles
to deliver the same address to the
white people Of the community.

Death of Mrs. Anne Dantzler.

Mrs. Lucy Ann Dantzler, widow of
the late John L. Dantzler, died last
night at 10 O'Clock at the home Of her
son, Mr.. Emmett Dantzler. Her death
was due to old age and a general break
down as the result of a spell of typhoid
fever that she had about two months
ago. She had not been able to leave
her bed since the fever left her, and
grew weaker all the time.
Mrs. Dantzler was in her ninetieth
year, and up to a few months ago,
when she was taken i'll with fever, was
remarkably preserved, both mentally
end physically. She leaves three sons,
Messrs. Frank, Emmett and John Lewis
Dantzler, and one daughter, Mrs. Mat
tie Dantzler Cunningham. Her remains
were inferred this afternoon at the Odd
Fellows cemetery following services at
ner late residence, conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Broyles of the Methodist church.
Besides her sons and daughter, Mrs.
daughter, Mrs. Dantzler left five grand
children and six great-grand children.

(By Associated Press)

Amsterdam, Jan. 15.-Evidences of
strained relations between militarists
and non-annexationists continue to
appear in German newspapers. The
Leipsic Volks Zeitung says the meet
ing of the annexationists' Fatherland
party at Jena was broken up by In
dependent Socialists, who, after pass
ing a vote for a general peace by
understanding" threw out members
the Fatherland party.
The Munich Post supports Wilson's
attitude regarding the autonomy Of
the Slav population of the Central
Empires and said: "The whole world
will rise against us if we attempt to
impose humiliating terms upon Rus
sia."
The free citizens committee meet
ing at Frankfort Sunday adopted a
resolution to the effect that a last
ing peace which would safeguard Ger
many's economic interests would be
possible only on a basis of concilia-
ion in the sense Of peace.
A resolution adopted by the reich
stag committee expressed the hope
that negotiations which Russia might
result in a peace, which, by honest
adherence to the principles of self
determination of peoples, might ex-
clude the danger Of new conflicts.
Bernard Dernburg, former secretary
state for the colonies, told the COM
mittee that if the Fatherland party
won the war would be lost. Dern-
burg rejected annexations and cash
indemnities. He declared German was
powerles sto enforce payments by in
stallments from England or America.
He asserted that annexations to the
east would be a source of constant
danger and would irritate Russia. He
urged disarmament.

REHEARS|NG PLAY
High School Shakespeareans Are Pre-
pairing to Produce "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" With Miss Pearl
Buell. as Director of the Piece
High School News

The big dramatic production of the
year is now holding attention among
he High School students.
The date of this high class produc-
ton, Shakespeare's midsummer
Nights Dream" has been definitely
set for February %. Practice was
begun in the early part of Novem-
ber, and the production is thus given
a practice period of over three
months-not any too long, either, for
a Shakespearean Interpretation.
Miss Pearl Buell. is sole director,
and her previous experiences with the
Shakespearean drama qualify her for
he directing of the play.
While Shakespearean Interpretation
is difficult, especially with high
school amateurs, Miss Buell. is en-
husiastic about the cast she has Sc
lected, and believes that they will
lake the plays presentation comen-
able. The cast is large, and is well
representative of the four high school
lasses. The play is a Student Body
production and, with the dramatic
talent of the entire school working
ard, appearances point to COM
The director and cast of the play
re working hard in an effort to af-
ford theatregoers pleasant and in
eresting entertainment, that the dra-
matte record of the High School may
built up, instead of merely count
ing it an easy method of increasing
he amount of the High School funds.
Displaying remarkable versatility,
nd a keen Interpretation of Shake
pearean drama, George B. Williams
ntertained for an hour and hall
the student Of Central Union High
School.
