The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-01-11

SUPERIOR, Jan. lO.-(Special
to the Rip-saw)-Moral conditions
are such in Superior that there is
strong talk among certain classes
of organizing a vigilance commit
tee to help clean up the place and
hasten undesirable citizens on
their way out Of town.
Mayor Baxter is credited with
doing his best but there are con-
dtions, beyold his control, particu-
larly if the 'bett,r element" stand
back and give him no support. The
mayor has been jealous in sup
pressing blind pigs, blockade rum
ners, redlight dumps and gamb-
ling. But his efforts are beginn-
ing to look a good deal like Mrs.
Partington's attempt to sweep
back the sea-.
Many undesirables have gone to
other fields. Fines for violation
Of the dry ordinance exceed the
license receipts from open saloons
in the days Of Konkel. There is
not the noise and registering in
public that there once was.
Under the surface, however,
there are blind pigs, redlight
dumps, gambling, panderers and
other undesirable citizens. The
other commissioners feel no call to
share responsibility. Although
some of the police are faithful and
jealous, the department as whole
seems unequal to the needs Of the
situation.
Even when violators of the law
and ordinances are caught, they
at once return to their dumps,
more flagrant and aggressive than
ever, feeling a desire to quickly
recoup financial losses from being
fined.
Consistent, decent, public spirit
ed citizens cannot understand the
need of dumps such as are conduc-
ted by Max Rosenberg and his
woman, Virginia Reed. Max's
God is the Almighty Dollar and
the dirtier a dollar, the better he
likes it, for he seems to feel that it
will stick closer to his capacious
pocket. Max has served time in
Federal prison and were it not for
the hushing power Of money, he
might be there now.
Any who enter Max Rosen-
berg's place well may expect to
leave their last dollar there, if not
their life. Some desperate lieu
tenants serve "Gefuellte Max"
and they are capable Of desperate
deeds.
Max has been so successful in
soothing the politicians, police
and local officials that he thinks
any human being is amenable to
money il1f uence. Even concerning
the Rip-saw, he once said:
eff dat Rip-saw man would
come to see me, I would square my-
self NIT him. -.
Only few weeks ago, Max and
two Of his helpers were arrested.
Max paid a fine of $500 as result
Of getting caught at illegal sale
and possession of booze. He's
back at the old place and the old
tricks. If the police are too tight
ly in his clutches to make him
walk straight, a vigilance commit
tee with rope, whip and axe, yet
may decorate a telephone pole with
Max's poisoned person and turn
his dump inside out.
Joe Bedell, who was arrested
with Max, has a personal record
that warrants anyone yelling for
the police the minute he enters
city. He was on the Mesaba range
for about ten years. With his wife

THE fight againt typhus consists
mainly in bathing the men and steri-

possess oven but no coal; the Czecho-
Slovaks have coal but no ovens. Soap

so well that they take every means
to avoid disinfection more than any
thing else; to avoid being slowed at
station they get out of the trains
when they stop at the smaller stations
and enter the town in small scattered
groups which attract less attention.
The ordinary mortality of exam
thematous typhus in endemic regions

cent, at present it is liver 20 percent.
1t is true that the epidemic has not yet

DENY MISSIONARIES
CAUSED RESURRECTION

Ookio, June 5.-4(Correspondence OF
The Associated Press.)- Reports
that American missionaries melted
the Korean insurrection are quite
incorrect according to statement OF
X. Yoshizawa, counsellor of the
Japanese Foreign office, who has re
turned after an investigation of the
situation in Korea.
Speaking to Japanese newspaper
men Mr.. Yoshizawa expressed the
view that the disturbances were the
outcome of a collision between the
oul-fashioned thought of the Tend
dokyo cult and the modern though
produced by the influence of Christian
ity. Mr.. Yoshizawa continued.
"A lack of perfect understanding
between Japanese and Koreans is one
of the main causes of he disturbance
but the principal causes that led tC
the uprising is the discomfort and
complaint In the mind of the Koreans
which suddenly burst out, prompted
by the new born thought kindled by
the principle of self-determination
The simple and childish political
thought of the Korean people can be
we'll imagined from the fact that a
large number of Koreans came tC
the government general at Seoul at
the time of the disturbance in
March and April and inquired of the
officials about the truth of the all
eyed independence )f Korea
How to save the future of Korea
and Koreans is i grave question that
seriously taxes the brain of the
Japanese government"

WILL BE PLENTY OF WATER
FOR POWER THIS FALL

The great Burton reservoir, which
has been under construction for two
years above the Tallulah Falls Lake,
will be ready for storage of water
by November 1, it is announced by the
Georgia Railway and Power Compa-
ny. This reservoir, which has about
twice the capacity of the lake just
above the falls, is expected to elimi-
nate any likelihood of water scarcity
in future and prevent recurrence
of the power shortage of last summer,
when the company was forced to linn
it consumption by factories and indi-
viduals in North Georgia. The new
lake covers thousands of acres of the
watershed along the Tallulah river,
and stretches for miles up the valley.
