The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-05-10

Now that he has received such q
handsome increase in salary, per.
haps county superintendent O,
schools, Noah A. Young, will seeh
excuse for another pulchritudinous
nurse In his department.
Quite a number of the peoples
servants in the marble-lined court.
house must look on contracts as
mere pieces Of paper, otherwise they
would not turn salary grabbers be-
fore their terms Of office expire.
State forester Cox hardly can
boast over standing ace high with
the late legislature. He wanted an
appropriation of $650,O00 for his de-
partment and was allowed only
$4,000. Some think that was
$4,000 too much.
Some of the booze that former
congressman Miller recently stored
up in his Washington fiat would
have been appreciated by the thirsty
voters in the Eighth district last
fall, especially when fighting forest
fires with wet brooms.
Now Is the appointed time to join
the Duluth Boat Club, the most DEM
ocratic club in the entire city. BY
taking out a membership, the most
mediocre citizen can reap a thou
sand fold for self and family from
the trifling investment.
Former auditor Halden Is credited
with having a big tract Of swamp
land along the route of the D. M. &
N, hence the desire of some people
to build paved road parallel to the
D. M. & N. It certainly would en-
nance the value of the Halden lands.
It Is stated by a Chisholm man
that Commissioner O'Neil owns four
teen working teams in the winter
time, during the logging season. In
the summer time, when on county
road work, they belong to his fore
man.
Instead Of being a creditable mon
ument to the memory Of A. M. Mil
Ter, the Lyceum theater rapidly is
becoming the home of lewd, libidin-
Gus, licentious plays. This sex stuff
is demoralizing bug when it gets
into a theatrical managers head.
Now that the Minnesota Steel Co.
is running at one-fifth its capacity,
c. P. Craig and his admirers ought
to see to it that Judge Gary pro-
duces the supplementary steel mills
that he promised if Duluth would
quit yelling about Pittsburgh Plus.
The Silberstein administration
stood for dumping garbage in the
gulch near Capt. Fay's house. AS
a result, million rats now have
their feeding grounds there and the
exclusive neighborhood is praying
for pied piper with an enhancing
doodle-sack. .,h'i'fi'@
Congressman Ellsworth might as
well give up his gubernatorial in
tEdtions. The Duluth News Tribune
refuses to o. K. his candidacy. Tom
Frankson is a man more after the
heart and style of Duluth's capitals
tic daily. Tom campaigns with a
bar'l.
There is great regret expressed
that Duluth lacks theater where
real highbrow plays can be produced
and where enough cultured, refined,
educated and appreciative people
will patronize such plays sufficiently
to make booking them truly profit
able.
Sen. G.. E. Adams, a couple of
years ago, prophesied that the Rip
saw would not last long. That's
what a prophet gets for working at
the business without wearing long
whiskers. Who ever saw shaved
face prophet who was worth whoop
at the trade?
DOC. Scna1Dly IelC peeV0u because
some timid citizen wrote letter to
the News Tribune on school matters
without signing a real name, but he
found no fault with the cowardly
cur who sent anonymous letters to
the Rip-saw. Whose OK is gored
seems to cut much ice with the West
End Wesley.
Col. Murphy, proprietor Of the big
redlight, gambling and whisky house
at Gilbert, must have delivered lot
of votes to the right candidate for
sheriff last November. Here 1t is,
the middle of May, yet the proprie-
tor of the biggest, dirtiest and most
lawless dump on the Mesaba range
has neither been indicted nor ar
rested.
The Labor World claims ignorance
of the owners of the Duluth Show
case Co. Nearly everyone else In
town knows that A. M. Marshall
controls it. Mr.. Marshall, by the
way, is the same man who controls
the Clyde Iron Works and the Mar
shall-Wells Hardware Co., the lat
ter concern being an advertiser in
the Labor World.
