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

100000. Duluth's business wizards
and captains of industry do not con-
duct their own affairs in that vague,
loose and indefinite way.
Every time editor Mitchell throws
COB of mud at President Wilson,
bunch Of subscribers stop the News
Tribune. The dear old morning paper
is getting where every subscriber lost
is q subscriber badly missed and
needed.
In default of decent and elevating
theatrical attractions in Duluth's le-
Ultimate theater, Mrs. George 8. Rich
ards must be given great credit and
many thanks for filling the aching
void with so many and so super-excel
lent musical attractions.
The News Tribune frothed at the
mouth because Supt. Hoke used PAM
phlet in school work that was issued
by the League to Enforce Peace. If
the vague, indefinite Hoke had any
CUTS he would come back at the News
Tribune for printing an I. w. w. paper
in its job department.
"When union labor realizes its po-
litical power it will sweep the state,
filling every office" said Tom Van
Lear last Sunday. The "sweeping the
state" aroused no interest for it sound
ed too much like real work, but "fill-
ing every office" brought tumultous
burst Of applause.
The ancient Hebrews wandered in
the wilderness and fought the heather
for forty years, but Doc. Schaibly was
compelled to reside in the Park Point
wilderness and rub elbows with the
heather down there only about forty
days. His penance was extremely light.
If Duluth's realtors would build
more houses and raise less hell, there
might be enough jobs to keep Duluth IS
real architects busy at their profession,

Before Bro. Bentley Neff clamors
too loudly for admission of women to
the dear old Commercial club, he might
do well to line up few hundred ca.
pable, aggressive and successful bus
mess men Of the city who remain out
side the sacred precincts for some mys:
terious reason.
Little Eva intimates that he expects
to have the public teat, out there in
the armory, sucked dry by next spring.
By that time, he may be able to land
one of those $4,000 jobs recently lost
by Davis and Verify in the state high
way club.
Ransom Metcalfe complains because
it takes Burleson from two to three
days to carry mail from New Duluth
to Morgan Park. Why, in the name
of common sense, does Bro. Metcalfe
not pray for relief to Col. William F.
Henry, acting postmaster9 Col. Henry
is the boy who will talk to Burleson
and make him ashamed Of his ways.
| Why does Warren E. Greene not
quit his arduous job as county attor-
ney and grab Acton job as road en-
gineer9 Leftenant-colonel Greene is
credited with being better engineer
than he is lawyer, anyway, and exer-
else in the balsamic hinterland would
build up the gallant soldiers corporal
system after arduous work at majoring
a New York office.
When there is city business to trans
act, many plain, common citizens and
taxpayers are wondering why mayor
Magney does not insist that the gangs
come. to the city hall instead of drag
ging him and other servants of the
people out to the Kitchi Gammi club,
the Commercial club or some one Of
several semi-secret society parlors.

Many a commoner is beginning to
believe that Duluth has the club form
of government instead Of the commits
sion form. Anything that promises q
dollar or two in pickings is hustled up
to the Commercial club, the Rotary
club, the Kiwanis club or out to the ex.
elusive Kitchi Gammi club for consid-
GRAFTON and decision.
When C. Francis Colman roots Croft
& Boerner out of their position as Of.
fetal architects Of the school board
and gets architect Holstead installed
in their place, the kindly directors
should give the refugee from Eagle
River another raise in his salary as
treasurer. That depleted old treasury
might stand one more raid.

How does the dear old News Trib.
une expect to nominate and elect Gen
Leonard Wood president of the United
States while it prints an I. w. W.
daily paperf There seems to be real
work for the Loyal Legion, the 10y
atty League, the Regular Army and 9
few more regulatory organizations to
do.
