WHEN A. M. MARSHALL, ENTERED
BUSINESS IN DULUTH

When the old Fargusson BUILDING

Time was, before the new Stowe
school was completed, that vacant
buildings in Gary were utilized as
school rooms and the outlook is that
the board will be driven to that expe-
dient again this year unless arrange
ments are made for a substantial ad-
dition to the Stowe school the present
summer. For by the time of the open
ing of the next school year the prob
abilities are that the Morgan Park
school will also be over-crowded.
Time was not so very long ago, eth
er, that the school board got in an aw-
full hurry to give away the old Stowe
school property in New Duluth. That
building would come in mighty handy
right now as temporary housing for
some Of the younger pupils Of the New
Duluth district. But it is gone, and
gone forever. Hence it is up to the
school board to provide additional room
the present year for the increased at
tendance sure to be recorded at the
Stowe this coming fall. Parents should
not be compelled to pay street car fare
that their children may attend school.
The board is continually bowling
about lack of funds and at the same
time constantly increasing unnecessary
expenses, while taxes have practically
reached the limit.
It is pretty near time for a new deal
in this school business.

SHERWOOD SHOWED ABILITY OF
A SHERLOCK HOLMES.

In the spring Of 1893, William G.
Sherwood, a pioneer citizen, booster
and capitalist Of Duluth, came from
Cincinnati to Chicago. When he left the
Pullman, he forgot a pocket book con-
tanning tickets, $50 in cash and papers
that represented property value of
several thousand dollars.
Mr.. Sherwood went back to the car.
but the Pullman porter disclaimed any
knowledge of the lost property. Asking
questions as to his fellow passengers
the porter finally remembered that he
heard two of those nearest to the Du.
luthian g seat speak the words "Haw.
thorne Park" and Traces"
Mr.. Sherwood at once assumed that
couple of members of the SPORTING
fraternity sat near him and, probably
picked up his property.
"I1l give you $50 for the return Of
my pocket-book", the Pullman porter
was informed.
In those days, Mr.. Sherwood prided
himself on never forgetting a face. he
also knew that sporting men had fav.

WHEN ISAAC S. MOORE BOWED AT
MATRIMONIAL ALTAR,

Isaac s. Moore CALAMITY went court
ing in the days of long ago, although
the kids in the American Exchange Ma
tlonal Bank may not think so. He
courted with perfect taste and Judge
ment, as well as most successfully. The
culmination of all that clever counting
came about in the First NJ. E. church
on Tuesday evening, May 16, 1893.
when Rev. E. D. Huntley united the
young banker and Miss Katie Long in
marriage.
Miss Long was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Herman E. Long, pioneers
in Duluth and people prominent in
building up and developing the City of
Destiny. She was a young woman most
fair to look upon and time has dealt
most kindly in it's demands on that
lady's beauty. With rare good Judge
ment, Mr.. Moore swore that there
should be at least one handsome menu
Der OF his matrimonial partnership and
he kept his oath.
The First M. E. church was tastily
decorated with potted plants, ferns
and ivy. The bridal party reached the
sanctuary at 7:30 p. m. Sidney Brown
pulled out the stops, turned on the
motor and set that great pipe organ to
pouring forth its thrilling tones. Then
the wedding march in Lohengrin began
to delectate the ears of those present.
The bridesmaid, Miss Flora Louden,
and six ushers, Messrs. J. H. Cook,
George Mckenzie. Arthur Mckinley,
Frank Upham, James Geggie and
Thomas Moore, came down the aisle
and separated, three Of them going to
the right of the chancel and three to
the left.
Next came the bride, down the west
aisle, on her fathers arm. The groom
came down the east aisle, accompanied
by his best man, W. G.. Hegardt.
The young couple met at the altar
rail where they were united, for better
or for worse, in the holy bands of we'd
lock, the bride being given away BY
her father. The wedding ring was be-
slowed, the clergyman offered his bles.
sing, the beautiful strains of Mendel-
ssohn's wedding march pealed forth
and the newly welded couple turned
and retired from the altar.
There was a reception at the Her
man +. Long home, after which, Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac S. Moore left on the
night train for the Twin Cities, a
visit to the Worlds Fair in Chicago
and q visit as far east as Baltimore.
A month later, they were at home on
Third avenue W., just below the church
in which they held membership and
were married.

LEvINE's BIG DEAL IN DIRT.

About May l, 1893, Sam Levine
bought the fifty feet where now stands
the Holland hotel. The purchase wa,
made from the Norton estate. and the
price was $4,000, $1,1OO per front
foot. Mr.. Levine already owned the
buildings on the site, therefore they
were not included in the deal.
An old two-story building then stood
where now stands the only really fire
proof hotel in all the city of Duluth.
Lodgings were rented out on the Sec
ond floor. That winter, the late C. C..
Brown, then reporter on the Herald,
roomed up there, among others.
The ground floor was occupied by .
saloon. During the booming days on the
old bowery, enough beer and booze
were sold in Sam Levine's old saloon to
float the German navy. With profits
made there and from wise real estate
investments elsewhere, Mr.. Levine ac-
cumulated the fortune that made it
possible for him to erect the grand no.
tel building in which he conducts 50
popular hotel and cafe business.

THE COWBOY.

The "city" is far behind,
The little small town of the plain;
| IN away from its lights and it's glare
In the darkness I'm free once again.
And the music my pony's hoofs beat
O'er the trail that winds on and on,
Is the song that will last
Till our problems are past
And we shall have entered the dawn.
This is the song of the night,
This is the song Of the stars:
"We have seen men struggle and fight
We have witnessed a thousand wars,
And ever the night brings dawn,
And men begin ever anew,
We have faith in the night,
We have faith in the right,
We believe in the dawn and yon."

Timely and Pertinent Query--Why?
The last issue Of the Morgan Park
Bulletin contained the following:
Ransom Metcalfe, in Steel Plant News.

The last issue of the Morgan Park
Bulletin contained the following:
"Owing to the very crowded condi-
ton of the Stowe school, only the first
seven grades will be given there this
semester and the twenty-five eighth
grade pupils have been received at the
Morgan Park school. The extra room
gained at the Stowe school will allow
the new sixth grade pupils to have
home training and shop work, which
otherwise would not be possible. The
pupils who come to the local school
will have the opportunity of typewrit-
ing, and domestic arts ninety minutes
day instead Of ninety minutes week,
and also electricity and French which
are not offered at the Stowe school. a."
After reading the above, the natural
question that arises in the mind of the
average citizen of this district is
Whyf
Since the Stowe school was here be-
fore the Morgan Park school was built
and as the Stowe has always had a
larger number of pupils than the Nor
gan Park school, why should the latter
have such advantages as enumeratedf
Why is one city school operated diff
ferently from anothers Why should a
younger school with a. lighter attend
ance have an advantage over an older
school with a larger attendancef

WHEN LOHR AND WOOLMAN
CAME TO DULUTH.

May 26, 1893, E. F. Lohr was elect
ed by the school board to succeed
Prof. Critchett as principal of the Du-
luth Central high school. Mr.. Lohr was
a graduate of Ann Arbor, Mich, and
had been principal of the high school
at South. Bend, Ind, for nine years.
At the same time, the board of ed
ucation also hired A. J. Woolman, an.
other South Bend high school man, to
teach biology, physics and chemistry in
the Central high school. He was con-
nected with the U. 8. Fish commission
at that time, as well as for years aft
erwards, and had been a high school in
structor at South Bend for some time.
Both Lohr and Woolman took up their
duties in Duluth the next September.

The Worker And The New Year
Labor, Washington, d. CO.

weapons of labor. Unfortunately labor
uses but one. It should use all three
of them.
Labor is using the political weapon
with success in Australia, England,
Denmark and Belgium. Labor holds
the balance of power in Australia and
Denmark. It has made phenomenal
gains in Great Britain, where it may
control majority Of parliament at
the next election.
In all countries of Europe labor
owns and operates cooperative enter
prises Of all kinds. Organized labor
through these cooperative societies
does billions of dollars worth Of bus
mess. It owns stores, factories, ware
houses, ships, banks and plantations.
It saves tens Of millions of dollars in
profits and protects itself in other
ways by its economic power.
Congressional and state legislative
primaries are soon to be held. These
are the fountain heads Of our politics.
Labor should immediately appoint com.
mittees from its unions to scan the
records Of it's representatives in con.
gress and the state legislatures. La
Dor should call local conferences with
farmers and other workers. If the
present incumbents do not represent
labor or the public interest, if they
are allied with privilege, if their rec
ords are bad, then labor should select
its own candidates.
In republican district it should run
its candidate in the republican prima-
ries. In a democratic district it should
run its candidate in the democratic
primaries. Labor should use the exist.
ing machinery. It should make this
fight within the existing parties. This
is far easier than creating new party
or running an independent ticket. This
is the plan adopted by the Nonparti-
san league Of North Dakota. It fights
its fights within the existing party
organizations. It elects republicans
and democrats, but it pledges them to
the program Of the Nonpartisan league.
A labor candidate can be a people g
candidate. For labor wants no priv.
leges, no favors.
Labor's platform should be accept
able to all save the privileged few.
And when you make your selections,
be sure to select strong men, coura-
geous men, and independent men who
will stand firm for labor and the needs
Of the nation as a whole.
The new year should see American
labor mobilizing its forces along two
new lines. It should mobilize for DO.
litical action on the one hand, and for
cooperative buying and selling on the
other. These are two means of ag-
gressive action. These, with collec-
tive bargaining and trades union or
CARNATIONS, are the weapons Of labor
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1920-02-21

What does the new year offer to the
workeri What does the new year Of.
fer to laborf That depends on labor.
He can rely on no one else. He and
he alone can work out his salvation.
There is no doubt but that the cap
italistic groups are in a complete un.
Outstanding to crush unionism. The
steel strike, the coal strike, the anti.
strike legislation Of the Cummins bill
are symptomatic Of what is being
planned.
Labor can only meet this situation
by standing fast, by perfecting its or
ganization and its power Of resistance,
and by increasing its number. Labor
must rely on organization.
One need not be very discerning to
see that class lines are being more
tightly drawn. The issue is frankly
met. Capital is more powerfully or
ganized than ever. War profits have
Increased it's reserve.
Capital is resentful of the conces.
sions made to labor during the war.
It hates. the eight-hour day, the new
dignity and sense Of individual man.
hood that has come to labor during
the past few years.
Capital is FESTIVE under the labor
shortage. There is no longer a sur.
plus Of hungry workers outside Of tho
mill, the factory and the mine, ready
to take the job Of the man within.
Labor, too, is more powerful than
it ever was before. It has a new sense
Of solidarity, new consciousness Of
class interest, and willingness to
stand by its fellow workers in other
crafts and industries.
The gains during the war strength
ened labor. They gave labor a sense
Of dignity as well.
While this is true, labor is menaced
as it never was before. It is menaced
first of all by its political weakness
and the control of the agencies Of gov
eminent by capitalistic groups. In the
second place, it is menaced by the ex-
plotting power of the profiteers who
take from labor the gains it has made
In wages as fast as they are made.
Prices increase more rapidly than does
the size Of the pay check.
Has labor no defenses
Is labor helpless before these two
powersi
Not if labor unites. Labor can only
defend itself by using the weapons
that are turned against it. Labor,
too, can enter politics. Labor can Or

ing agencies.
Political action, cooperative action,
and collective bargaining are the three

THE FLAG OF 81.

THE FLAG OF 81.
Forlorn and dark above the wall,
Against the skies Of gray,
Half staff upon the army hall
The old flag hangs today.
It's gathered folds are motionless,
Nor stars nor bars undone-
Waves to no joyful winds caress
This flag Of '61.
All day the crowded streets along
The busy life has passed,
Yet few of all that careless throng
Have seen the flag half-mast;
None but the DINNER eyes have read
The solemn message given,
None but the vet ran 8 snowy head
Has bowed in prayer to heaven.
Kind hands have placed the emblem
there
Between the earth and sky,
And kindlier love, all unaware,
Has dimmed the keepers eye
Bowed with his three-score years and
ten
He counts his comrades DER
Once captain of a hundred men,
He's keeper now Of four.
Some sleep along Potomac's side,
Some in the Wilderness;
Their graves are scattered far and
wide,
Where, none presume to guess
Nor mounds nor memory disclose
The ashes of the brave;
We only know they found repose
Within soldiers grave.
And one, whom war and time had
spared,
Decrepit, old and gray,
Has gone at length to his reward,
Has answered taps today
From life's long bivouac, a call;
A time of watching, done,
And dropping Per the army hall,
The flag Of 81.

BROKEN PROMISES.

And satins and silks for her gown;
I promised her freedom from trouble

With never reason to fr0wn;
But, oh, was young in the glad days
of old,
And little I knew what the years would
unfold.
I promised a carriage in which she
should ride
And servants to come at her call;
promised that never her heart should
be tried
And never tear drop should fall;
But little I knew in the glad days back
The hazards that lie in the pathway of
I promised her jewels to wear at her
breast,
I promised her silver and gold;
She should know life at its fairest and
best
With never bleak day and cold;
But, oh, was young in that glad long
ago
And thought could win all those gifts
to bestow.
Now I've learned that at times men
and women must weep =
And hearts must grow heavy with
care;
Though my VOWS I am earnestly try
ing to keep,
There are burdens that still she must
share
But she smiles through it all, and she
says that she knew
I was promising more than ever could
