appointment.
Perhaps few bottles of Tanlac
would be good for wha, ails Duluth's
city commissioners.
When it comes to itch, the itch for
office has the seven-year kind
backed off the boards.
Charley Calligan certainly
slammed one over the fence when he
got that raise in salary.
The proverbial tortoise was not
half so slow as those elevators in
the Manhattan building.
This itch for a place on the public
payrolls is something fairly madden
ing when it attacks some people.
Many are wondering If Judge
Cant's fine Italian hand will take a
part in the selection of chief Of police
this time?
| Odin Halden no longer is county
auditor but he still has his personal
representatives in the marble-lined
courthouse.
Supt. Hoke seems to have perked
up quite a bit since he secured a
traitor to the commoners to sit on
either hand.
Maybe a few bottles of Tanlac
would help Charley Mitchell. He
certainly needs something for his
several systems.
Now that Onkel Bernard has gone
back to the Silberstein store, who
will keep a watchful eye on Oliver
and Iron River?
Brother Schaibly and Col. LeDuc
have that old steam roller of the
Autocrats we'll oiled up and in ef-
fective running order:
The courthouse king is dead but
his spirit still lives. His withered
hand sticks up out of the political
grave now and then, too.
The Germans never did a better
job of grabbing in Belgium than re-
Gently did several of the public SER
wants in the dear old courthouse.
The people do not feel much en-
thusiasm over keeping Greene the
grave Of the county attorney, up
there in the marble-lined courthouse.
It is limited that the late commits
sioner of unsafety, Bernard Silber-
stein, dictated the retention of the
snarling Samuelson as city attorney.
Those who lost loved ones in the
terrible typhoid epidemic over a
score of years ago will not enthuse
very much over this dual water sys-
tenn.
Commissioner Murnian must have
become muddled in some way, other
wise he never would have voted for
another two years of the snarling
Samuelson.
Brother Schaibly, full German in
blood and credited with having been
born in Hunland, seems to fairly
hate native-born American of Ger
man blood.
School director Crassweller might
profit personally, if not officially, by
reading the fable of the cat that
pulled toasted cheese out of the fire
for the monkey.
Commissioner Farrell failed to Sc
cure his much desired municipal
piggery but he may find comfort in
that Salary Hoggery in the marble
lined courthouse.
Some of Duluth's sky pilots OBJ
ject to displays by air ships but they
seem to have no objection to red
light dumps and blind pigs on Sun
days or week days.
Judge Gilpin may be expected to
treat the Red Cross and Victory
loan most literally, seeing that the
kindly old legislature gave him such
generous boost in salary.
|
A 24-girl redlight house, in the old
wide-open days, had nothing on some
of the theatrical performances pre-
sented to the long-suffering patrons
of certain local playhouses.
| Il
Certain union card men declare
that commissioner Farrell promised
organized labor not to vote for Sam
uelson for the city attorneyship. His
final action was characteristic.
|
To a man up tree, 1t looks lit
tie as if the city commissioners are
trying to start another municipal
Zoo with themselves as the first
freaks of nature for the cages.
If Major Greene's spurs do not
slip, perhaps he can keep riding his
high horse until Judge Ensign lets
go of his judicial job, after which
the governor may be prevailed upon
to appoint st. Louis county's famous
"WOE" "WOE" WOE" be TN
that you were born.
