GREENS ARRIVE
IN MINNESOTA

Ely, Mimi, May 5, 1924.
Dear Mr.. Dickson:
Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Dear Mr.. Dickson:
We arrived in Ely Friday night,
bit tired, but otherwise all OK, sur
prising the Barkers as they did not
expect US to make such excellent time
coming through. We found all in good
health Will say though, that the
spring here is very backward and far
behind our own Glenwood climate; the
trees are just budding, no snow and
very dry. The Superior National for
est had three fire reports yesterday,
SO you see Mr.. Richey's "spring sea-
son" is just opening.
We met Mrs. Richey and the boys on
the train between st. Paul and Duluth
on their way to Ely, which is fine
town Of between six and seven thous-
and people. 1t is better lighted than
any town its size we have yet seen,
has wonderful schools where everything
down to pencils and paper is furnished
the twenty-five hundred ichool children
from kindergarten through the junior
college OF which there is a two year
course. Some town, indeed! Has ex-
cellent free bathing beaches supported
by the four iron mining companies
here. Minnesota as the ''Playground
of the Nation" with Ely as its "gate-
way" has 10000 lakes it apears tho
most Of them might be right here
around the city. Everyone is getting
ready for the big tourist season which
will soon open here. Last year the
tourists brought in more than $13s, 900
worth of business to Ely merchants
alone.
We are looking forward for our copy
of The Post which should arrive today.
Accept our sincere good wishes.
Yours very truly,
MR.. and MRS. G. G. GREEN.

SUCCEEDS HIMSELF ON
SCHOOL BOARD

The school election Monday after
noon for the selection of a district
treasurer to succeed ]. @. Schwarx
who has served the district for the
past three years, was a very tame af-
fair.
Although Mr.. Schwarz was the only
announced candidate, his name being
the only one to appear on the printed
ballot, there were rumors Of some op-
position and disposition on the part
of some to spring another candidate.
However, this opposition did not de-
velop although G. E. Hubbard was
mentioned in opposition to Mr..
Schwarz. Mr.. Hubbard stated to his
friends that he was not a candidate,
and advised the reelection of MI.
Schwarz.
When the polls closed there was
ample proof that the people appreciat-
ed Mr.. Schwarz's splendid service to
our schools in the past and were willing
to trust to his good judgment and
sense of fairness in the future.
The result of the election is very
gratifying, not only to Mr.. Schwarz
but to the entire board, as it can only
be interpreted as an endorsement Of
their policy in the past. The follow
ing is the result of the ballot: j. O.
Schwarz, 260; G. E. Hubbard, 16; P.
j. Kirwan, L; j. F. Mccoy, 1.

Ed. Ryan Of Rifle Telegram
Pleads Guilty to Possession
and Takes Jail Sentence
IS LONG SUSPECTED

Last FRIDAY AFTERNOON Sheriff Geo.
l.. Winters and John G. Richardson.
federal prohibition officer, arrested Ed
+. Ryan, who is employed as printer
and pressman on the Rifle Telegram,
charging him with both possession and
sale of Intoxicating liquor.
Although Ryan has been for several
months under the surveillance of tho
officers who have regarded his as THE
LEADING BOOTLEGGER OF GAR
FIELD COUNTY, it was not until
Friday that they secured positive evi.
dence of his guilt.
A search warrant was secured and.
armed with this document, the officer,
searched the Ryan residence where
they found gallon jug about half
full of whisky, which was confiscated.
The officers then went to the Tele-
gram printing office where Ryan was
employed, and placed him under arress
and brought him to Glenwood where
he was arraigned in the county court
on charge of possession, and to which
he promptly entered :. i'ea of guilty.
After the testimony OF the officers
had been taken, in which they told of
the finding of the ,iqnor on Ryan'a
premises, and also of evidence indi-
eating that this was by no means
Ryan first offense, Attorney W. r.
Noonan informed the court that he
had been called on the phone by P. W.
Dinsmore, editor of the Rifle Tele-
gram, who stated that Mr.. Ryan was
very valuable and almost an indis-
pensible employe in his office, and that
his absence from the shop would work
great hardship on the business.
MIR. Noonan said that he would not
IN any sense excuse or condone tho
infraction of the law to which Mr..
Ryan had pleaded guilty, but thought
perhaps the court might arrange to
allow Mr.. Ryan to return to his work,
under bond, SO as to work as little
hardship as possible to his employer.
Turning to the prisoner before him
Judge Bell asked Ryan if he had any,
thing to say why sentence should not
be pronounced against him. Answered
in the negative he then said "Canr
you make a living without boot
leggingi" "Well, if I ever get out
of this, I'll try it," said Ryan. "It
is inconceivable to me-" said Judge
Bell, that men are so lost to SELF
respect and decency that they will en-
gage in such business, and it seems in
cumbent on the courts to make the
penalty severe enough to stop it," to
which Ryan responded "Well, here's
one place where it will be stopped"
but scarcely were the words out of his
mouth when Judge Bell said Gwen.
III see to it that it will be stopped
for while. Your sentence will be 90
days in the county Jail, and a fine Of
5000 and costs.''
Answering the remarks of Mr.. Noo.
nan, the court said he could not take
into consideration the value Of Mr..
Ryan to his employer, but could only
consider the case in the light of an
infraction of the law, and the penalty
which the law provided for such Of.
tense. With that Ryan was led by the
sheriff to the county Jail and givea
unrestricted possession Of tho same. he
being the only prisoner in the men,.
apartment in the county bastile.

The Bonus Controversy

The tug of war over the bonus is about to
come to an end. Unless unforeseen circun-
stances intervene the question of granting ad-
justed compensation to the ex-soldiers will
come up for settlement in the House of Rep
resentatives within few days.
Thru the medium of the War Finance Cor
poration the government has granted millions
of dollars in bonuses to the big companies for
having put their organizations at the disposal
of the government during the world war To
be correct, one should state that these corpora
tons were given chance by the government
to clean up billions in profits and then were
given bonus on the SIDE
The railroad capitalists, the coal magnates,
the shipping magnates, the aeroplane manu-
facturers, and numerous other agencies of the
owning class were likewise rewarded in mil
lions for their loyalty which was so profitable
to them.
Why then all this noise about the workers
and farmers who endangered their lives dur
ing the war while the capitalists were staying
home and clipping dividends? Why is it that
the Wall Street Journal has even stopped to
call SO patriotic an organization as the Amer
lean Legion disreputable because of the soldier
bonus controversy? Why is it that bonus for
capitalists is perfectly honorable and assumed
as the natural course of business operations
Wulle the granting OF q long overdue adjusted
compensation to those who fought and bled in
the war in which they had>no interests Of their
own at stake is denounced and fought so
bitterly?
The answer to these queries is very simple
The government of the United States is dedi-
Gated to serving the employing class. 1t will
never make the slightest move in behalf of the
interests of the working and farming classes
unless it is compelled to do so by the danger
GUS pressure of these masses This strike
breaking agency of ours, parading as the gov
eminent of, by, and for the people, will not
grant bonus to the soldiers. It is too busy
granting bonuses to the employers. Some
members of Congress and the Senate may vote
for some sort of half-hearted bonus measure,
but this will be more with the idea of repairing
their own political fences than with the OBJ
jective of giving the poor ex-soldiers even
fraction of what is long overdue them. These
so-called friends of the ex-soldiers are sure
that Coolidge will veto any attempt to enact
bonus legislation hence they can afford to
pretend being solicitous of the soldiers well
fare. The whole capitalist coterie infesting
the Senate and House chambers and the White
House are playing the game of their masters
each in his own way, of course, but each using
the fate of the ex-soldier as a pawn in the
game OF perpetuating the hold of the exploit
ers Of labor on the governmental apparatus

Shonlrocks and Strikers

On ST. Patricks Day the striking garment
workers and other interested observers on
South Market Street were RECALLED with the
spectacle of Jewish bosses handing out silk
shamrocks to the Irish policemen who were
clubbing and arresting their former employees.
The capitalist class of this country has
profted greatly by fomenting dissension be-
tween the workers of Jewish and Irish birth
and extraction, but the Market Street Incl
dent is ample proof that racial and religious
differences are easily reconciled when the
bosses and their lackeys are face to face with
revolt on the part of the workers.
It has long been our opinion that an Irish
catholic employer would worship Jahveh in a
synagogue if by so doing his profits could be
increased. BY the same token Jewish boss
will cater to the most ignorant prejudices of
members of another religious sect if this will
aid him in combating workers of his own
race and religion.
An Irish policeman clubbing strike pickets
while proudly wearing in his coat lapel a
shamrock greasy from the lingering of a
sweatshop owner of Jewish birth is an exam
pie of tolerance for the beliefs of allies that
the workers would do we'll to emulate.
Capitalist Jew and catholic lackey unite
against workingclass Jew and Catholic while
the preachers of both sects hold up their
hands in holy horror when the class struggle
is mentioned.
