The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-10-18

EVELETH, Oct. 17.-(Special to the
Rip-saw.)-The mayoralty campaign
in Eveleth this year promises to be
an affair worth going many miles to
see. The primary election falls on Oc-
tober q, at which time the voters will
select two opposing candidates. After
that, the fireworks really will start.
As these lines are written, there are
three opposing and aspiring candidates
for the nomination.
It is almost superfluous to state that
Ed. H. Hatch will do his durndest to
succeed himself.
Sam Owens is another willin' Bar
us, as the literary fellers say. He
is brother Of the venerable and be-
owed John Owens, now holding job
in the state grain department by the
grace Of Gov. Burnquist and, also, a
brother of Thomas Owens, superintend-
mt Of the D. & I. R. Sam, himself,
not only is pioneer on the iron ranges
ut he is yardmaster at Eveleth for
the D. & 1. R. Although D. & I. r.
man, Mr.. Owens is not considered q
pet of the powerful iron mining inter
ests. He is strong dry and Sunday
school man, therefore may be expected
to have the support Of the straighter-
laced element.
A third aspirant who is likely to
kick up aheavy dust and make mayor
Hatch hump himself is Victor Essling,
q hustling local lawyer. Mr.. Essling
has strong support and his friends de-
clare that he will put up fight that
his opponents long will remember.
The dry boys undoubtedly will make
much of mayor Hatch's failure to en-.
force the liuuor laws. It cannot be
denied that Eveleth is very much Of
IN oasis in very drv county, figura-
lively speaking, at least.
There are about 81 soft drink par
lors in Eveleth and the boys who know
beer from bingo and booze from orange
pop insist that great majority Of
them sell Intoxicating drinks.
Redlight girls and ladies are entirely
too plentiful in Eveleth, the less sporty
element maintains. The wise boys say
that at least three redlight parlors ex-
ist on the main street Of this little
city. These dumps are credited with
selling booze wisely and entirely too
we'll. The redlight business droops
and dies when booze is eliminated
from it. Red1irht talent also invades
Eveleth from Virginia.
Complaint is made that the pool
, halls, in the main, are secluded sinks
of iniouity, where young boys congre-
gate. waste precious time, hear nasty
, stories and learn sinful stunts from
those more experienced. It is charged
that more or less gambling, including
the grand old game Of poker, goes on
, in the local pool halls.
Then Eveleth is far from free Of
gamblers and gambling. The profes.
sional tinhorns furnish the game and
the suckers from city and mines fur
nish the coin to drop in these little
hells of chance.
P! When it comes to the boss gamblers.
Pete Morrisette and "Spot" Turrer
are credited with heading the list and

not handed $1,000 for an expense &C.
count; and it was not even believed by
thousands who read the stories.
If a paper ever was endorsed, the
Rfp-saw has been by the work thus far
done by Mayor Magney's special COM
mittee. 1t is needless to say that the
Food Hogs, the Profiteers and all their
many flunkeys deeply resented the
Rip-saw's pioneer articles and now the
'ater, more authoritative work of the
special municipal committee.
This committee soon will have other
reports to make. One on the milk sit
nation soon will be forthcoming. The
Rip-saw has had some enlightening
data on that, also, long ago.
Although the daily papers have made
no noise over it, the special session Of
the legislature authorized and directed
the state department of agriculture to
investigate the cost of living in Mime
sofa. Only last week, commissioner N.
T. Holmberg started his work in St.
Paul and issued subpoenas for fifty
etail grocers in the Twin Cities.
When this commission reaches Du-
'uth, it is assumed that the local in
vestigating committee will have a great
quantity Of authoritative facts which
will be placed before the investigators
Cor their benefit. With their power Of
subpoena and putting witnesses under
oath. many "a cocky Food Hog will not
q able to laugh and sneer in the faces
Of the commissioners as has been done
n some cases with the local committee.
If Duluthians really and truly wish
to keep posted on the investigation .of
Food Hogs and Profiteers, the Rip-saw
seems to be the only safe and sure
publication. The great family journal
fain would take rest if the daily pa
pers would do their full part, but it
now plainly appears that they have no
intention of so doing. Get the Rip
saw, therefore, if you are interested in
he stunts performed by greedy. Food
Hogs and selfish, disloyal Profiteers.

does remain considerable sum in the
citizens fund, the fund donated by
kindly and benevolent people in Du.
luth and from every corner Of the
United States.
The cloud Of gloom hanging over
Little Eva's head has been lifted and
lightened somewhat by the cheering
hope that the citizens fund can be
twisted, turned and utilized to give the
Little Colonel at least another year of
his card index endeavor and little
corps Of aides and helpers. There
must be five or six such left and they,
too, do not work for sweet charity's
sake.
Although the American Red Cross
has cut off Little Eva g sinecure; al.
though the state appropriations are
about exhausted; although the fire suf-
ferers have not paid up the many notes
that they gave, the dear old citizens
fund remains quite fat and substan-
tial; therefore the outlook is quite
bright that poor Little Eva will be
able to hang onto the public teat for

$4,000 from the udder of the good old
public COW.
But what will Little Eva do after
1920, anxious friends and admirers
may anxiously ask.
Keen and able dopesters suggest that
Col. Henry will cling to the Duluth
post-office until there comes a change
in president, either democratic or re-
publican. After that, it is suggested,
Col. Henry will devote all his time to
The Herald and draw one plain, simple
salary, instead Of two.
When Col. Henry let's 60 of the
post office, Col. Eva is credited with
being able to frame things up SO that
he will leave the Relief commission
and become Duluth g next postmaster.
Stranger things have happened in
this peculiar city by the fresh water

POLICEMAN SEARCHES
COMMISSIONERS CAR
Uncle Alec Fraser Suspected OF
Carrying Booze When He
Had Only Spuds.

The courthouse boys tell good story
on the venerable and beloved Uncle
Alec Fraser, commissioner of the First
district. 1t runs something like this:
Uncle Alec and his chauffeur, Roy
Onsgard, recently took the car that the
kindly county supplies the venerable
commissioner and ,honked their way to
Superior, where a moderate quantity of
2.75 per cent was absorbed into the
1ry-as-powder official system.
Following that, so some of the boys
claim, the old county boat was steered
up to Oliver, where something with a
real kick in it was secured and alb
sorbed. After that, Uncle Alec felt
able to perform any task.
"My son-in-law has some potatoes
at Fond du Lac" said Uncle Alec to
his chauffeur, "and he offers me half
Of them for bringing them down. We
will 60 get load"
The county's old boat then was
steered to Fond du Lac where several
sacks of succulent spuds were loaded
in and the old car was headed down
the pike for the Fraser home. When
Uncle Alec and Roy reached West Du.
luth, they were halted by a policeman
"What you got in that cart" was
the stern inquiry.
GA few sacks Of potatoes" meekly
"eplied Uncle Alec.
"Like you have" retorted the
officer. "Pile out of there so that
an take a look"
Both men got out and then the po
liceman made them lift out the sacks
If spuds. Not a bottle, either of beer
" booze, did the policeman find. Rath
n crestfallen, he directed the two pill
rims to load in their vegetables ani
ret away from there.
The policeman looked in the wrong
,lace for the banned beverages. n.
should have looked inside Uncle Alec.

When you get down to the Austrian

with being deacon in the church Of

keeping blind pig that produces sac
ramental milk for secular use, as well
as tiger with stiff whiskers and long,
sharp claws.
The natural assumption and whis-
pered charges by mayor Hatch's oppo-
sition is to the effect that blind pigs,
redlight ladies, gambling dens and 9th

protected by the mayor and his chief
