Dor not to retain Samuelson. True
to form, he did not keep his prom
Use. Mayor Magney certainly laid
down abjectly. Why he did so, his
friends and supporters will be
pleased to find out.
Organized labor, especially, wished
no more Of Samuelson. He was
Jealous in helping dispose Of the old
Armory, while organized labor was
very much against the sale of the
city's assembling place.
Samuelson also is credited by or
ganized labor with lobbying at St..
Paul for state constabulary two
years ago and that made no hit with
the union men.
There also is a feeling that Big
Interests and men who represent Big
Interests, have the Samuelson ear
and favor, rather than the humble
citizen of no financial Importance.
There was great surprise when
commissioner Murnian reappointed
Dr.. E. w. Fahey as head of the
health department and DR.. Klein as
police surgeon. It fully was ex-
rected that DR.. Fahey would not
succeed himself.
There is great dissatisfaction with
Dr.. Klein as police surgeon. In that
capacity, ne is likely to be called in
an emergency case at any time. Very
few men in Duluth would care to
have DR.. Klein put his hands on
their women folks in case of an &C
cident, when first aid might be vital.
Cleanliness in habits, mental,
moral and physical, are considered
imperative for police surgeon.
It was taken for granted that
chief Randall would be kept at the
head Of the fire department. His
formal reappointment was satisfac-
tory to all classes.

THE LATE LEGISLATURE.

The legislature has adjourned, for
which the state has reason to be
thankful, says Geo. F. Peterson, in
the Cook Journal. Outside Of the
road Legislation comparatively no
constructive legislation was enacted.
A majority of the bills Of real merit
were defeated outright or allowed
to die in the committees. The mem
bers of the sixtieth district have ex-
cellent records to their credit,
although Senator Bessette will have
some explaining to make on his vote
Indefinitely postponing the bill that
would have unloaded the detested
anti-democracy public safety COM
mission. All hands played politics,
and the indications are that the re-
dictionary big business element came
very near committing political sui
eide by furnishing the Nonpartisan,
Socialist and other progressive ele-
ments some mighty good campaign
material.

After keeping the city on the tip
toe of expectancy for a month, COM
missioner Murnian relieved the ten
sion last Monday night by appoint
ing John Murphy chief OF police.
Acting chief Lahti will remain on
the force as chief of detectives.
John Murphy formerly was N. P.
R. yardmaster. He is Native Son
of California, being born in San
Francisco 40 years ago. He is cred
tied with coming up from a switch
man and possessing marked execu-
tive ability.
Mr.. Murphy has had his lightning
rod up for a place at some public
treasury for several years. At one
time he made a very creditable run
for commissionership. This is the
time he actually scored.
The city needs some firm police
attention and the department is a
splendid field for good organizer
and executive. Chief Murphy has q
golden opportunity to make name
for himself and, at the same time,
do the city great service.
Commissioner Murnian's future in
the city hall will depend great deal
on the record made by chief of po-
lice Murphy.
Commissioner Murnian made no
hit with the public when he stood
for the retention of John E. Sam
uelson as city attorney. Commits
sioners who have been on the city
council, therefore were fully &C
quainted with Samuelson and the
peoples wishes, made still less of a
hit. Being a new man, there were
extenuating circumstances in Mr..
Murnian's case. There were none
in the cases of the other commits
si0ners.
It is alleged that commissioner
Farrell was pledged to organized la

The city commissioners certainly
made a poor hit with the people
when they voted in favor Of the
dual water system. AS is quite we'll
known, commissioner Phillips was
the only one out of five who voted
against the wishes of the Big In
terests and in favor of perfect safe
ty for the health of the people.
Duluth once had an epidemic of
typhoid fever as a result of drink
ing water contaminated with sewage.
Many a precious life was sacrificed
to corporation greed and lack of
heart.
Under the law, a human life is
worth about $4,000. Only few
lives unnecessarily offered up to
Mammon, as a result of contain
mated city water, soon would con-
sumo any and all savings from de-
creased insurance rates.
Ninety-nine per cent Of the peo-
pie of this city value the lives Of
their loved ones more than they do
decreased insurance rates for a few
big, powerful, selfish corporations.
They do not propose to take single
chance on contagion and death from
polluted water.
Before any danger of that sort will
be endured, the people will demand
a referendum, calling for the repeal
of the resolution recently passed in
favor of the dual water system and
the double-check valve contrivance.
The plumbers of Duluth have
come out aggressively against double
check valves. There's a chap out at
West Duluth, named Edward Black
wood, who seems to have intelli-
gence, real knowledge and a will
ingness to fight for what is right.
He may not belong to the Duluth
Commercial Club, but he has power
of expression and a willingness to
appear in print. Mr.. Blackwood has
had several communications in a To-
cal daily. He was wise in using that
paper rather than the Rip-saw, for
he secured double the publicity that
he otherwise would. Let the Rip
saw first print something of interest
and value to the public and the local
dailies will not touch the subject, for
of such small mental calibre is their
editors. The Rip-saw ever is glad
and willing to support something of
value and interest, even if started by
contemporary. It has no competi-
tors.
In an issue of a local daily last
week, Mr.. Blackwood said:
I'm your issue of the 25th, C. O.
Adams, in defending the check
valves, makes use of the phrase
improved entirely new style of check
valve" but very wisely refrains from
explaining the virtues of this "new-
style" valve or wherein it differs
from the valve used.
Before writing my article of
April 20 I inquired Of Commits
sioner Phillips and also of a prom
inent plumbing and heating con-
tractor who have installed the valves
in large dual system here as to the
kind Of valve. used. To verify INV
claim that we are not using a new
style of valve, am today Informed

ment, that the checks used are the
swing gate or clapper style, with
hard rubber seat. / know OF no
check older than the swing gate.
The fact that these valves are in
stalled with gauges and test drains
is no guarantee that they may not
leak five minutes after a test.
"For several years the city has
terra destroyer; more recently the
amount used has been doubled,
showing that the danger from con-
tamination has increased. May not
this increase have been caused by
the installation of dual systems?
is it wise to wait until contami-
nation is so complete as to mean
prosperity for the undertakers?
Shall we remain blind to the records
and experiences of other cities with
regard to this check valve imposi-
tion?"
Supplementing his remarks, Mr..
Blackwood presented brief opinions
by Duluth plumbers as follows, viz:
Sturm Brothers-Absolute OPP
posed. Twelve checks are as liable
to unseating as one.
/ Henry Gazett-Personally 1 dis
approve of the double check. 1 see
no end to employment of the privi-
lege, thereby increasing the number
and chances of leaking valves.
w. G. Schoen-Very unsafe, due
to varying pressure on the checks.
Frank Farrell-Opposed. Checks
will not remain tight.
NJ. Kealy, Modern Plumbing Co.
Would hate greatly to have to de-
pend on check valves. Would favor
open or air connection, not physical.
G.. Silverness-Check valves can
not be relied upon in this case.
Fred Deboer-Simply a rotten i'm
position; thoroughly unsafe.
John Keenan-Opposed to check
valve plan in every sense.
Edward Krause-Condemn dual
check valve system Internationally.
A. j. Harker-Checks may be
tight at times but none are to be
depended on as used in the dual
water system.
Archie McDougall-I admit that
the double checks are a partial safe
guard but reject them entirely as an
absolute safeguard.
James Gorman-Object to double
check on dual system as being very
uncertain.
A. III. Wick-I don't think much
of such plan.
E. ii. Schaffer-There is no such
thing as an absolutely safe or posi-
tive check valve, as understood and
applied in the dual system.
Z. Gleason-I have fought this
silly fake and will continue to fight
1t.
Thus master craftsmen Join their
opinions and experiences to those of
eminent engineers and experts whose
opinions and experiences were so
plainly and clearly set forth in the
former issue of the Rip-saw. The
people, as we'll as the local papers,
are waking up to what selfish Big
Interests have tried to put over, with
the help of few antiquated political
nypnotists, and they will have none

Blockade booze is drying up quite
a bit in Superior. The Jesse James
gang is finding it burdensome to sup
port the police departr ent by pay
ing so many and heavy fines. A
great many of the lawless element
are planning to either jump town
or quit their lawlessness and seek
some reputable occupation.
OF course, all the crooks have not
joined the church or blossomed out
as Sunday school teachers. There
are more left than Superior needs.
But the booze swamp is slowly dry

poisonous swamp waters are steadily

less active in business.
Former mayor Konkel, now known
as jeremiah, the Weeping Prophet
declared that without saloon licenses,
Superior would go into bankruptcy,
or something nearly as bad.
From April 1, 1918, to May 1.
1919, thirteen unlucky months for
outlaws, approximately $4,000 was
paid into the city treasury as fines
by boot-leggers, blind-piggers, gam
blers, redlight dumps and other sin
full and lawless folk. Allowing %
per cent for detectives and other
purposes, the net proceeds fully meet
any loss from Punishment of licensed
saloons.
In October, 1918, highwater mark
was reached when fines aggregated
S14,O82.O0. In July, 1918, the first
month that the city was dry, fines
amounted to only $1,54S.50.

Colonel Ulysses Grant Burnside is
making excellent progress in his eff
forts to succeed Max Rosenberg as
King of the Underworld in Superior.
Some time ago, the Burnside man
sion was raided by the police and a
considerable quantity of whisky was
found stored in a secret place. The
monetary loss was heavy and Col.
Burnside groaned loudly over it. He
at first put up a bluff by pleading
not guilty but, later, acknowledged
the corn and paid a fine Of $3.50.
Lillian Peterson, the fair bar
tender in the blind pig maintained
in the Burnside candy store at 6O6
Tower avenue, also was found guilty
after putting up hard fight. Dis
play of a considerable length of
shapely leg, encased in silken hose,
interested the court but did not NIT
igate the fine.
Some days ago, the police raided
the Burnside candy store and found
a quantity IF booze concealed be-
hid the morhoards. Col Burnside
was arrestsi. as a matter of course,
and put up his usual bluff by plead
ing not guilty.
But the shoe is beginning to pinch
this Jesse James of the booze bust
ness. He went to mayor Baxter
with a whine, declaring that he did
not know any booze was there and
that, had he known it, he could
have sold it for 81 pint.
AS sort of an appeal to mayor
Bakers sympathies, Col. Burnside
told how he has purchased a pop
corn wagon on the installment plan
and that if he is caught and fined

Mrs. Foster learned Of the fact and
caused no end of annoyance. At one
time it was planned to have the
police take Foster and the woman
out Of the hotel, but the real wife
weakened.
The Charming Madam Frost.
i Some say that this siren who
keeps Foster away from his legal
wife is Mrs. Frost, who makes life
pleasant for Foster, even to the ex-
tent of taking him around town in
her automobile. Husband Charley
Frost was a Great Northern conduc-
tor who lost his job because he
brought booze into dry territory.
He is understood to be in Mobile,
Alabama, working in the shipyards
there. Madam Frost boards a nearly
grown son on Banks avenue so that
she can have her time more fully
to herself.
The latest report is that Foster
has lost his job with Whitney broth
ers and that he is going elsewhere
and proposes to take Madam Frost
with him.
For a time, Foster gave the real
wife $40 every two weeks. Then he
cut her down to $40 every two
weeks. Later, hesinformed her that
he was going to leave Superior and
that she could go to the hot place,
kept by old Satan.
That's what the Superior fashion
Of having more than one wife has
done for the Foster family.
Romantic Locomotive Engineer.
E. A. Bloomgren is another star
roomer at hotel Superior. He once
had a decent wife and a good home
but he wanted to both eat his cake
and have it. In other words, Col.
Bloomgren, who is a locomotive en-
gineer, wanted to keep a wife and
happy home but, at the same time,
frolic around town with the loose
women. His real wife refused to
stand for it and divorced him, get
ting about $1,000 from hi m in the
settlement.
Unless the Rip-saw inspectors are
deaf, blind, and foolish in the head,
Madam Tena Johnson is trying to
make Bloomgren happy at hotel Su-
perior. She lives at Allouez and her
devoted husband also is an engineer.
After a visit to Bloomgren at hotel
Superior, Madam is credited with
going to the Terminal building
where she is supposed to comfort
Harry Hammett, another lonesome
male who enjoys the society OF a
pure and kindly woman.
Police records in Duluth say, by
the way, that about three years ago,
Madam Tena Johnson and E. A.
Bloomgren were arrested and taken
out of the hotel Spalding, where they
had registered as man and wife.
Anyone seeking to join in the
,gaiety Of nations certainly ought to
find a chance around hotel Superior.
All the lawlessness and sportiveness
is not down on Third street and
North Tower avenue.
