at Askov about 10 years and

When only fifteen years of age
Ruth Lambert fell a victim to the
qust Of Earl Mostrom, q skunk
hunter only 10 years of age who
was a near neighbor. Mr.. and Mrs
Lambert were able and willing to
take care Of their daughter and tc
see her through her sad trouble
Judge Jamison, however, insisted in
dragging the affair into court. Young
Mostrom was arrested and tried or
statutory charge, with the result
that the young seducer and skunk
hunter was acquitted, thanks to the
canny lawyer, Dan DeLury. ~
As stated, the parents wished tc
keep the girl at home, but Jami
son insisted on committing the child
to Sauk Centre, which was done or
Oct. 8, 1923.
He assured Mr.. and Mrs. Lambert
that he would secure the unfortu
nate girls release three months aftel
her baby was born. That event, by
the way, took place before the gir
was quite sixteen years old.
When the three months had ex
pired, Mr.. Lambert went to Judg,
Jamison to secure his daughter:
release. The jurist put the father Of
with the further promise that h
would grant the request in a few
more. weeks.
April 1, 1924, in the presence
Of the father and the Child VOL
fare Board, Judge Jamison agar
promised to secure the girls release
setting the time at May l. =.
Late in May, 1924, the girl still

Ruth Lambert was not a, feeble

VIRGINIA, Oct. 23.-(Special to
the Rip-saw. i'm becoming a cam
didate for the lower house Of state
legislation, Edward c. A. Johnson,
highly respected and successful
business man of the Queen City of
the North, demonstrates that he is
another citizen who is willing to
serve for the sake of serving.
Water cannot rise higher than its
source and the same principle holds
true in politics. If men Of inferior
character and ability are the only
ones willing to run for the legisla-
ture, tie public will receive inferior
and unsatisfactory service from its
Lawmakers. The high-minded citi-
zens of the SiXty-first legislative dis
trict were, therefore, greatly pleased
and encouraged when Mr.. Johnson
won out in the primary campaign
and gained a place on the ticket.
On Tuesday, November 4, it will be
the privilege and the duty OF the
people to choose two Of the four
candidates on the ballot. It is to
their benefit and advantage to make
a wise choice.
Edward G. A. Johnson came to
the Mesaba range as boy in Sep
tember, 1893, thirty-one long and
eventful years ago. He came to Viz
ginia at that time to join his father,
Mr.. J. C.. Johnson, who was engaged
in the bakery business until he
retired a few years ago. The son
followed in his fathers footsteps,
not only by learning the business
thoroughly, but by building up a
big business on First street s., where
a modern plant not only Is recog-
nized as a model, but turns out a
product so popular that wide and
profitable trade is the result.
Mr.. Johnson's entrance in the
legislative contest was not his first
experience in politics. He has won
some enviable victories, held some
responsible offices and done some
splendid work for his fellow citi-
zens in the years gone by.
Mr.. Johnson served ably ant well
as a member of the city council in
Virginia. He was member OF the
police and fire commission, where
he did notable and consistent work.
His talents were at the command OF
the people as member OF the Vir-
ginia board of education. Perhaps
Mr.. Johnson's most valuable service
was as a member of the charter COM
mission during the formation and

county. The late unlamented Odin
Halden had the same thrifty trick
in his day and generation.
Envelopes containing naturaliza-
ton certificates usually contain
cards from deputy clerks, bearing
the behest, "Vote for J. P. Johnson,
Please" Some of the newly made
citizens actually think that voting
for j. Perky Johnson for clerk of
the district court is a part of the
red tape incident to acquiring citi-
zenship and that they will not be
fully fledged voters until they do
"Vote for Johnson"
Frank Pelto, Finnish-speaking
deputy clerk of court, who is charged
with spending much of his time at
boosting for Johnson, was compelled
to go back to Duluth as soon as the
local term of court adjourned. 1t
was impossible to find excuse to
charge his expenses to the county
after adjournment.
It is quite we'll understood that
Mr.. Johnson is trying to throw a
scare into his deputies by telling
them that all of them will lose their
positions if Joe Carhart Is elected.
Mr.. Carhart has assured his Range
supporters that he is not an Indian,
hence has no plan or desire to scalp
all the clerks and deputies. Malic-
ious, pernicious political activity on
the part of an employe will not help
him any to hold his position after
Mr.. Carhart is elected, but any
changes made, If any really are
made, will be only for the real good
of the service. There is utterly no
need of the clerks. and deputies
falling into panic.
Some of the veteran pie-counter
boys in the Duluth courthouse are
sticking to J. Perky" Johnson.
Jack Ross, with his provincial Can
adian humor, thinks it great joke
for anyone to aspire to Mr.. John
sons qife-job. Mr.. Ross's sense OF
humor is peculiar to himself. He has
occupied job in the courthouse =,
long that he actually takes himself
seriously.
3 Joe Carhart's cause certainly Is
growing ana JoHsing on the Range
and in the farming communities. A
full head of steam will be put on
in Duluth at once. The outlook for
Lieutenant Commander Joe Carhart
to become clerk On the district court
is frightening the skies like an
aurora borealis. Paste that fact in
your hat, dear old voters.

BERT JAMISON'S (JNFITNESS
DUE TO PHYSICAL REASONS
Inside Information Concerning Causes for Voting
Probate Judge Jamison Out of Courthouse
in Suffering County Of Cass.

WALKER, Oct. 23.-(Special to
the Rip-saw.)-There are natural
reasons why Bert Jamison, Judge
of probate and juvenile courts, lacks
understanding Of and sympathy for
young people who come before him
under charges Of delinquency.
Occupation and habits incident to
Bert Jamison's early life did not
prepare him for. uplift work and a
sympathetic understanding OF boys
and girls whose feet take them out
Of the straight aid narrow path. I
Judge Jamison lacks the inspira-
ton incident to welded life and
parenthood. He has peculiarities OF
temperament that make him unsafe,
unfit and unsatisfactory In deciding
cases of juvenile truancy, incorrigi-
bility and immortality. Some OF these
shortcomings may be congenital,
W lie others are due to misfortunes
that overlook his homer in his young
manhood, solely due to his own
acts. While sympathy should not be
denied such an unfortunate as Judge
Jamison, he should not receive II
at such q sad cost to the boys and
girls of Cass county.
Back in 1897. Bert Jamison was
living in Meadow Brook township,
Cass county, Mimi, with Tommy
Thompson, a brother-in-law. AT
about that time, Jamison was some
thing like 21. years of age. In COM
pany with Wash. Hall, Ole and An
drew Kenneberg. Al Lambert, William
Thompson and pilgrim from North
Dakota, the young man went to
Brainerd on business and pleasure.
Jamison, for one, also went to
secure employment in a camp along
the M. & I. Railway, north of Brain
erd.
'I have q niece in. one Of the
redlight houses here" Wash. Hall
informed the bunch. It was quickly
decided to go down to, see Uncle
Wash's redlight niece. After that
social call had been made, the bunch
took in another and larger redlight
resort, where Bert Jamison picked
out a pale, anaemic girl with a sad
cough. They retired from the madd'-
ming throng and, when young Jami-
SON came back he proudly boasted
of his licentious acts with the poor
creature.
Jamison went to the camp and
worked some weeks. When he came
back to Brainerd, one side of his
neck was badly swollen with the
effects of venereal poison. Going
to the hospital for treatment, the
abscess was lanced many times, som
say as high as eleven, leaving heavy
-,ars that are plainly visible todcv
!. Eventually, venereal infection set
tied in one of Jamison's legs with
such stubborn effect as to make
amputation necessary at the hfI
Joint to save his life. At the same
time, so it is alleged by certain
Cass county pioneers, it became i'm.
perative to at least partially emas,
culate the victim of sexual indis'
cretions.
This, dear fathers and mothers ot
Cass county, explains why Ber,
Jamison seems to especially dislike

that he gave the best that was in

counsel and fair Treatment OF all

makes him a very undesirable judge
of juvenile court. You know MOI
what day your girl or your boy may
be have to run the gauntlet Of hi!
peculiar mental and physical condi
tion.
Sixteen years ago, Bert Jamisor
was elected probate judge through
sympathy, not because Of any spe
cial fitness for the highly importan
office. Despite, his limitations, hi
again seeks support of the voters
chiefly on sympathy basis, and IL
spite Of his proven unfitness to ad
judicate juvenile cases.
During his sixteen years at tn,
Cass county pie-counter, Judge Jami
SON not only has failed to save an!
salary, but he has wasted propert.
that he acquired from other sources
and in other ways. Today, he owns
no land, no car and pays no taxes
He should be worth from $4,000
to $4,000, but he has no banl
account, no house and no family
1t may seem harsh to say 1t but
outside of his monthly official sal
airy, Bert Jamison is no better thar
a pauper. J3s~ ',t.at
Rather than support Bert Jamisol
in the courthouse at public expens'
of nearly 100000 a year, man,
taxpayers believe that he should b.
encouraged to get a job with Bank
er Staede. II that generous, big
hearted citizen will not give Jami
son q job, then these taxpayer,
declare that the latter should b.
sent to board with DR.. Wilcox q
the county house. If the problem
should be solved in that way, th'
kindly taxpayers also are in favo
of the board of county commits

worth of poker chips, so that h
can continue playing poker in Fra'

popular drink emporium. He alst

Playing poker has used up Ber
Jamison's land, house, AUTOMOBILE
and salary. Two years ago he ad
mitted to a Cass county citizen tha
he had saved nothing from his of
ficial salary.
That's too bad" was the reply
"They have turned Bacon out of tn
courthouse and you will be the mex
one to co."
Judge Jamison feels the YER
thin ice under his official foot. H
is pulling every possible string t
get votes. The sympathy racket ha
been his long suit in the past, bu
this year he even is handing ou
hints that leniency in the case o

In support of this allegation, tn
