Some weeks ago, the Rip-saw printed
story about one Fuller, incarcerated
in the county Jail, who, while he was
shut up, prisoner Of the state, also
was down along Superior street and
even along Fourth street, peddling a
big hatch of bogus checks, very much
to the loss and annoyance of accom-
modating citizens.
Fuller is an alleged steam shovel en-
gineer from Hibbing. When he gets a
drink or two under his belt, he mag
ines he is mining magnate and starts
a carnival Of writing and passing bogus
checks.
When in the county Jail, serving a
sentence for getting drunk and annoy
ing the peace and dignity of Hibbing,
Fuller was made a trusty in the
kitchen and even permitted to 90 to
nearby shops for cigars and other little
luxuries within the power of other
prisoners to purchase.
One bright day, Fuller became con-
spicuous in the Jail kitchen by his ut
ter absence. After a few days a vic
tim Of that orgy of passing bogus
checks pointed out Fuller to a deputy
sheriff and he again was locked up.
Later, the worthless rascal was per-
mitted to plead guilty and take a sen.

TAKING THE CENSUS
BEGINS IN JANUARY
Supervisor McEWen Has Taken
Quarters and Now Seeks
Able EnumeratOrs.

Taking the census for 1920 will be
no easy task, yet the job must be done
and there will be good men and women
to do it. st. Louis county has been
divided into 146 enumeration districts.
which means that at least that many
persons will be needed to count the
people of this county and 70 gather
information about the farms, according
to William Z. McEwen, supervisor Of
census for the Eighth district, which
comprises Carlton, Cook, Itasca, Kooch-
iching, st. Louis and Lake counties
The census taking will begin on the
morning Of January 2, 1920. It has
been arranged to do the work in the
city in two weeks, while 30 days is
permitted in the country. Mr.. McEwen
IS appealing to competent men and
women in the county and district to
make application for appointment as
enumerators. Compensation is on the
fee basis; from 2 to cents will be
allowed for each person enumerated.
Not less than 20 cents nor more than
30 cents will be allowed in addition
for each farm reported. The districts
have been divided so that an active
enumeration should earn on an average
of six dollars day.
The Bureau of Census is. particularly
anxious to have town clerks, persons
who have attended agricultural schools,
former school teachers and progressive
farmers, their sons or daughters, make,
application in the rural districts. OF
course preference will be given in ap-
polntments to returned soldiers, sailors
and marines, provided they are compe.
tent to do the work. No appointment
will be made on account of politics.
Applications should be filed at once
with W. E. McEwen, Supervisor of the
Census, Duluth, MINI. Good men and
women are needed in each of the six
counties.

days later, Bolen made his mark to an
answer, prepared by John Brown, his

allegations as to marriage, age and
property ownership.

All hail the dawn of a new day break
ing,
When strong-armed nation shall
take away
The weary burden from backs that are
aching
With maximum labor and minimum
pay;
When no man is honored who boards
his millions,
When no man feasts on another's
toll,
And Gods poor suffering, starving
millions
Shall share his riches Of sun and soil.
Shame on the owner of mines whose
cruel
And selfish measures have brought
him wealth,
While the tagged wretches who dig
his fuel
Are robbed Of comfort and hope and
health.
Shame on the ruler who rides in his
carriage
Bought with the labor Of half-paid
men
Men who are shut out of home and
marriage
And are herded like sheep in howell
pen.
Let the clarion voice of the nation
wake him
To broader visions and fairer play.
Or let the hand of a just law shake
him
Till his ill-gained dollars shall roll
away;
Let no man dwell on a mountain of
plumber,
Let no man suffer with want and
cold;
We want right living, not mere aims

= We want just dividing of labor and
gold.

KNUDSEN PEDDLED BOOZE
TO HIS FELLOW PRISONERS
Is Alleged That Harry Fuller Ran Away From County Jail
and Passed Big Gris Of Bogus Checks Under Influence
Of Young Knudsen's Intoxicating Liquor.

and circulars to all the sheriffs, far
and near, have failed to locate and get
back the missing prisoner who was
awaiting transportation to Saltwater
to serve not to exceed ten years for
forgery.
Some of the prisoners in the county
bastile complain that Knudsen had spe-
cial favors while lying in Jail. They
say that while. the rank and file Of
prisoners were shut up in their cells
at 8 p. m, young Knudsen was per-
mitted to remain at large in the corri-
doris until at least 9 p. m. Others de-
clare that, because of blood affilia-
tions, jailor Hansen was especially ia
vorable to the young forger.
Now comes startling tale to the
effect that Harry Fuller quit being a
trusty in the kitchen and went down
town for wild career of passing bo-
rus checks because Of booze that he
got while in Jail. Soma of the boys
declare that brother Of young Knud-
sen was in the habit Of bringing up
booze and that the scion of the House
of Knudsen put the bottle to the lips
of fellow prisoners, Fuller among 9TH
ers. That practice, it is alleged, gave
Fuller enough liquor to make him i'm
agine he was mining magnate, hence
IS flight and deeds Of crime down

WILL WORK TOGETHER

There is a striking similarity be
tween the Presidents message and
the Republican legislative program
as outlined in these colun1s several
days ago. The President has rec
commended the enactment of legis-
lation which the Republicans already
had recognized as urgent and de-
sirable Differences will arise,
of course, between the admministra-
ton and the congressional majority,
but it is reassuring to find them in
accord, at the commencement of the
session, on questions of great mo-
ment TO the country.
Additional assurance Of co-opera-
ton is contained in a statement re-
Gently made by Representative Franz,
". Mondell Of Wyoming, newly
chosen leader Of the majority party
in Congress. The policy of those IN
control of the house. he says, will
be in full cooperation with the
Democratic executive branch of the
government in promoting legislation
for the interests of the people,
rather than aggressive pickering.
The task before u.s." he ex-
planned, lis not an easy one. First,
because the problems to be met
and solved are of tremendous may
nitude, and are perplexing in their
character. Second, because our
legislative program must be carried
out under an administration which
can hardly be expected fully to &C
quiese in our views. We trust,
however, that we may be able to
cooperate with those in executive
power in a large measure in the
settlement of all the important
questions we shall have to deal
with.
I'VE shall have, l am confident,
an earnest and harmonious Repub-
lican majority, actuated by the de-
sire and the determination to work
along sound and constructive lines.
The Republican majority in Con
gress is due, TO considerable eX-
tent, al least, to the fact that the
people have confidence that the
Republicans can be trusted to meet
in a practical and satisfactory way
the problems which arose out Of the
war and the great changes which il
produced. I am confident that the
people will not be disappointed in
their expectations in that regard
and that the party will prove the
wisdom of the popular decision
which placed legislative response
bility in its hands"
Besides being majority leader
Representative Mondell is chairman
of the steering committee, the othe:
members of which are Moore OF
Pennsylvania, Madden of Illinois
Dunn of New York, Longworth OF
Ohio, and Winslow of Massachu
sets. This committee will, with the
rules committee, take over much
of the general powers of shaping
the course of legislation formerly
held by the speaker.
