The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1920-03-20

man would swear TO the complaint.
There must be screw loose some
where in the City Of Destiny, otherwise
it would not be so difficult task to
find population of 100000 people.
There is feeling that Leftenant-
colonel Greene's war spurs should be
placed in the Smithsonian Institute for
the delectation of the eyes of poster
ity.
While the voters assume that Judge
Fesler wishes another term On the
bench, they would appreciate an early
expression of his desires and inten-
tons.
Leftenant colonel Warren E. Greene
still sticks around, waiting for father
in-law's judicial shoes. All things come
to him who waits-and successfully
pulls wires.
There's rumor that Tom Cole
thinks of buying into the Section 80
iron mine. If he does, perhaps he II
revive his membership in the Duluth
Curling club.
If, dear old reader, you believe in
the Rip-saw and wish to see it live,
grow and accomplish something for the
common veal, then send in $500 fol-
years subscription.

It makes some of the boys mad to
have the Rip-saw muck-rake their law
less friends on the iron ranges. Out
laws and lawless folk have no legal
right to closed season.

If chief Murphy will take a good
look, he can still see a number of
slackers, idlers and potential crooks
who need to get to work or accept an
invitation to get out of town.

Leftenant-eolonel Greene will do well
not to get too deeply engaged in the
congressional situation, otherwise he
may bungle up his judicial plans and
aspirations.
Mary Garden really and truly is
coming to Duluth, at last, with her in
comparable voice, but there will be no
green gardens in this City Of the Shows
to greet her world-weary eyes.

It probably will be cool in Duluth
this summer. Inform your friends in
the hot belt to that effec and urge
them to come here when it gets too
hot to stay in comfort at home.
1t has been several days since any
one was bumped off in Duluth via the
gun route. Dumping off undesirables
with guns is highly unlawful but, often,
very beneficial to community.

The Rip-saw editor does not wear a
plug hat and a frock coat, therefore
his office landlord left him out Of the
social roster Of the Manhattan build
ing in last Sundays News Tribune.
There are indications that Kremer J.
Hoke, a modern Ichabod Crane, would
take great pleasure in picking his own
successor as superintendent Of schools.
Such a thing should not be allowed.
Some of Oscar J. Larson's friends
are boosting him as candidate for
congress. If the Duluth gang rejects
him, perhaps the dear old district down
IN Michigan will put him on the ticket.
For the next superintendent of
schools, Duluth needs and desires a big,
broad, sane and sensible educator,
rather than doctah or a roarin' So
cial lion.
1t was a hopeful sign for the future
when the members Of the school board
recently engaged in exhaustive discus
sion and divided their votes. Too much
unarim,ty is as undesirable as an ex-
cess Of discord.
When able and faithful teachers are
paid so little that they are compelled
to borrow money to meet living ex-
penses, extravagant autocrats On the
school board should hang their heads in
shame.
Fads, frills and fancies, no matter
how pleasing or even profitable, have
no place in a public school system, SO
long as pupil lacks seat or a grade
teacher lacks living wage.

The -head-sawyer has strained his
eyes, looking for the coming of the
Schaiblian Knights of the Tar Bucket.
Perhaps they are planning an April
Fool party for the head of this jour
nalistic sawmill.
Mayor Joe Austin should see that his
campaign manager, Col. Bob English.
gets something good out Of the erection
of Chisholm 3 million-dollar community
building, now that the Rip-saw has
denied the good old poker games and
slot machines.

A few of the range editors seem
peeved because the Great Family Jour
nal exposes skin games and dirty law
lessness. These editors must be ad-
mired for standing by their friends, no
| matter how unworthy they are.
