Mr.. Straus long ago stated his

it's conquest, the British pledged
themselves to establish a Jewish

Jerusalem, and lately has reiterated
that desire.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

We firmly agree with acting chief
Lahti that a Thoroughly efficient
policeman at SIS day Is of inesti-
mable more va1ue than an ineffi-
Gent one at $3.50 a day.
We always have stood for reputa-
bic and efficient employees on the
police force and we ever have stood
for a maximum salary for the men
who guard the city, through al. sea-
sons and weathers and ever IN jeop-
ardy of dagger, both moral and
physical.
Duluth would profit richly If It
had a select police force, every
member of which was drawing SIS a
day and really worth that IN every
way.
There is any number of splendid
men on the present police force.
There are some, however, who
should be given the run withoot tn
due ceremony.

police force certainly deteriorated,
despite improvement IN salaries and
shorter hours. Conditions Of the

and the tiny "Kate Greenways"
dashed out and circled around the
stage at swift rate. Little baby
Sheppard, only four years old, per-
haps now a sedate matron, premiere
of dance, was received with great
enthusiasm.
That closed Part of the program.
The curtain next arose on a party
of clansmen in the mountains. Five
little girls presented the dance OF
"Shaun Trews," one Of the very best
hits Of the evening.
An Irish Pattinetta came next and
that was followed by a sword dance
in which Gressie Miller and Jessie
Clark received high favor. A "Peek-
a-Boo" dance by the baby ballet also
made hits That ended Part II.
Part III opened with "The Pibroch
O. Donald Dhu," by Colin Thompson,
which entranced all Scottish ears. A
Highland fling, the Jack o. Tar"
was danced with great effect.
Prof. Walker presented a most fin
ished Highland fling and that was
followed by German character
dance that made decided hit. Hazel
Runge, 10 years old, graceful and
clever, brought down the house with
a Solo dance. That was followed by
a Spanish dance.
Chief Alexander Wilson, looking
every inch a chieftain in his bare
knees and complete Highland cos
tune, danced a Scotch reel in a way
t arouse the audience to high pitch
Of emotion and excitement.
Hazel Runge and Bessie Mcknight,
representing two sailor lads, danced
the Sailors Hornpipe." Bessie
Hunter, in white costume, with
Scotch plaid draped across her shout

Runge and Bessie Mcknight then
presented an Irish character dance.
A Pickaninny dance was followed by
a Maypole dance and Gypsy dance.
The program was brought to a
happy close by the entire company
and the whole audience Joining in
singing "Auld Lang Syne."
The performance was repeated at
the Temple opera on Wednesday
night and at the Grand theater in
Superior on Thursday night of the
same week.
Duluth and her Scotch people no
longer give such grand, inspiring and
enjoyable spectacles as "The Gather

WHEN THE SCOTCH CLANS
GATHERED IN DULUTH.

OAIdEhED In DUAUlhs
Back in 1892, the Temple opera
house stood next to the old Masonic
Temple, where now stands the Or.
pheum theater. On Monday evening,
Nov. 21, 1892, a magnificent and
elaborate spectacle" staged by Prof.
Walker and designated as 'The Gath
ering of the Clans" was presented
to the people of Duluth.
Weeks had been spent in drilling
and preparing for the notable event.
The entire city was on the tip-toe OF
expectancy. Many a bonny Scot for
got to eat his porritch that morning
and many another waived picking the
bones of his Finnan haddie for dinner
that night. Some Of the Sons of
Scotia may, however, have taken an
extra large sup O. whusky to steady
excited nerves.
The neat, snug, artistic Temple
opera house was filled to overlooking.
After the overture, a medley of Scot
fish airs, Alexander S. Wilson, then
an alderman and chief of Clan Stew
art, stepped before the curtain in his
full chieftain's costume and eloquent
ly addressed the enthusiastic, expect
ant audience.
The close of Chief Wilson's ad-
dress was followed by a rendition Of
"The Star Spangled Banner" in which
the orchestra was joined by the voices
of two hundred school children on
the stage, ranging from four to TWEEN
ty years of age.
The high, clear notes of bugle
sounded. The curtain was raised and
a mighty chorus burst forth In "Scots
Wha Haze" "The scene was beauti-
full beyond description" wrote gift
ed reporter who recorded the spec
tacle for posterity.
Seated directly behind the foot
lights were the "Kate Greenways,"
twelve small girls in quaint costume.
Back of them were the "Peek-a-
Boos," little larger in size, veritable
baby ballet dancers in tartan Co.'S
tunes.
Then came Irish Patinettas, High
landers, Gypsies and others, all form
ing one grand and glorious tableau.
The chorus ended. Statuesque
tableau gave way to action, "The
Gathering Of the Clans" was on.
"Kate Greenways" scampered be-
hind the scenes. The orchestra
struck up an inspiring march and
the Draw Hie'landers, garbed in kits
and 'plaids, strobe down from hills
and crags depicted in the background,
looking very picturesque as they
, wound around and down the narrow
pathways.
When all had assembled on the
stage, line Of battle was formed and
the grand battle song, "Braes O.
Mar" swelled forth, stirring the
heart and quickening the pulse of
every Scot in that overlooking audi
forum.
An International march followed.
Representatives of clans MacGregor,
Macdonald and Campbell each had a
banner, carried by fair standard
bearer. The march was intricate and
bewildering. AS each clan passed
along in front of the stage it was
greeted with deafening rounds of ap-
plause.
The International march ended

brttal Immoral chief OF the Depart
ment had still more to do with It.
During the Si1berstein regime, the
civil service requirements were
made a joke. That made response
bi1ities easier for tie commissioner
to dodge and It pleased such local
politicians who think more of po1it-
ica1 place and pelf than they do Of
principle and efficiency.
Chief Lahti IN a recent report to
the city commissioners says that a
policeman shou1d be a man who IS
looked up to and respected by the
community. He also shou1d be a
man respected by himself and his
fellows on the force.
The department at present needs
a judicious wedding out and over
hsaling. Any policeman who drinks
while on duty or who goes on duty
under the influence of 1iquor shou1d
be dismissed without delay. He is
as dangerous as match IN pow
der factory. There is reason to be-
1ieve that there are a few such on
the force, mostly men who have
lodged the civil service examina-
ton.
No man shou1d be permitted to
stay on the police force who lacks
normal morals. Such a man cannot
be respected by himself, his asso-
ciates or the public. There Is rea-
son to believe that at least one man
now holds a position on the force
who is perverted morally and who
has been guilty of unnatural sex
practices. His employment on the
force is resented by many of the
members. There are few others
who have the reputation of being
hard men after women. Their proper
place is on Third street, in Superior.
Although commissioner Murnian,
commissioner Farrell and a few
members of Little Tammany may
have fixed up a slate on their recent
trip to St. Pau1, instead of Mile Post
81, they have made a grave mistake
# they have not picked chief Lahti
for appointment as chief of police.
This opinion does not alone rep
resent the Rip-saw, therefore shou1d
not prejudice Mr. LahtYs interests.
It Is the opinion of folly rs per cent
of the people of this city, as the
commissioners will learn IN due
course.
Du1uth shou1d and must have a
clean, highly efficient, literally paid
police force. Commissioner Murnian
will serve his city and gain great
praise for himself If he more folly
BRINGS that abotft.

THE PROPOSED MEMORIAL
TO SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

There seems to be great desire
and haste to bui1d some sort Of a
state memorial to the soldiers and
sailors who fought IN the late world
war. All sorts of ideas are being
advanced and there is more OF less
wrang1ing over the location. Some
insist on the state university grounds
and others the state capitol grounds.
We are not at aft averse to suit-
able memorial bot, with consider
able number of 1eve1-headed state
editors, believe that there Is no
hurry to decide. Time improves
many things, human ideas, as welt
as others.
There usua1fy is a dearth of orig
ina1 ideas when it comes to a special
form of HUMAN endeavor, therefore
a great majority of Suggestions fer
a memorial probably will be. FOR a
conventional monument.
Since expression of opinion seems
to be IN order, we viii suggest the
erection Of Z suitable Building on
the state university grounds, togeth-
er with a liberal endowment, for the
purpose of teaching the young men
Of this state, and even the voting
women, how tn develop and care for
their bodies. A special department
and a complete course IN physical
tra.ning and hygiene wou1d be an
investment that, in. a short time,
would return profits a thousand fold
and, IN years to come, the benefits
would be beyond computation.
What wou1d make a grander,
more practical memorial to the SOL
diers and sailors than a noble bui1d-
ing and competent teaching staff,
entirely devoted to development Of
sacred human bodies and their
proper cares Money is used with
out stint to improve the cattle,
hogs and horses on the farms, why
not Use some of It on the superior
human anima1s While making a
better grade of barnyard fowls, why
not educate the boys and girls of
the state IN ways that will decrease
street chickens?
With a great educational center,
teaching how to develop and care
for the human body, the next war,
# one comes, will see less training
required by Minnesota's draftees
and a superior grade of physical
manhood. There also will be great
er knowledge and pride in bringing
back the bodies of the battfers IN as
clean and perfect form as they
showed when going away.

JACKSON'S DINNER INVITATION.

In the winter of 1898 the Rainy
Lake boom was briskly moving along
and there was considerable travel to
the Lower Seine River gold fields by
way of Tower, Vermilion Lake, the
Crane Lake Portage, Harding and
Kettle Falls.
At that time, Col. J. S. Hillyer and
his son, George H. Hillyer, were pros
pecting the "Alice A" gold mine and
promoting it's heavier development.
Both men had been prominent in
milling circles in Minnesota and
North Dakota as well as the Flour
Exchange in London. 1t was easy
and natural, therefore, that they at
tempted to interest some OF their old
British friends and associates in
Western Ontario's gold mines.
Several Scotch and English CAPT.
talists came over and, with some
Eastern men, left Duluth for the
Northland in dead Of winter, when
the thermometer had habit Of drop
ping anywhere from 20 to 40 degrees
below zero. The capitalists and rep
resentatives of capital had no idea OF
the severity of the Minnesota and
Ontario winters, therefore appeared
in Duluth with high hats and silk
lined dress coats. They were quickly
disillusioned and provided with suit
able garb for the very strenuous rail
and stage trip to the New Eldorado
Of the North.
It was a drive of something over
20 miles across Lake Vermilion and
all hands experienced all the cold
that they we'll could endure. The
Crane Lake portage was more shell
tered but very rough and bumpy for
either stage or sleigh.
The party reached Jackson's stop
ping place where the Crane Lake
road crosses the Vermilion River. De-
Caigny lives there now but one Jack
son kept stopping place there in
1897 and 1898. All hands unloaded
and gathered around huge box stove
in former log lumber camp while
host Jackson fried up some salt pork.
baked some biscuits and brewed some
alleged coffee. When all his crude
but copious preparations had been
completed he came into the bunk
room and exclaimed:
"Take 'er!"
No one but old Alec Baker knew
what he meant or paid any attention.
All sat there quietly. soaking in heat
and wondering If they ever really
would get back to civilization in
safety.
Alec Baker was the original settler
on what now is the townsite Of Inter-
national Falls. He had been to Du-
luth for his customary semi-annual
spree. His favorite Joke was to put
the end of a five-dollar bill under his
Scotch cap, so that the long green
fell down over his face and then, en-
tering a bar-room, asking the bar
tender "Is my face good for a drink"
But that's another story.
Draw old Alec heard what Jackson
said and understood, therefore he
ambled into the dining room In the
rear. After time, Jackson came
into the bunk room and again said:
"Take 'er!"
No one paid any heed or made
move. Jackson waited in the eating
room with apron rolled over his arms
until patience ceased to be q virtue.
He finally entered the bunk room and
loudly and gruff1y exclaimed:
''Don't you sons Of dogs want any
thing to eat?"
The capitalists then got it through
their unsophisticated heads that they
had been invited to dinner.
