The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1924-10-25

Now that the Sneaky Laplander's
"leetle gerrul" has left her strike
breaking dad, Mayor Baxter will not
be boned to buy . fistful Of tickets
to the recitals that meant bread and
meat to the family of the journal
istic buzzard.
Reports indicate that there Is
nothing in the congressional situa-
ton in the Eighth district to alarm
William L. Carss. There r. firm
and general belief that he will sue.
coed Oscar J. Larson in the lower
house OF national legislation.
Despite the tendency of some peo-
pie to throw bricks at Joe Becks,
we feel and believe that he has been
an excellent commissioner for both
the Fifth district and st. Louis
county. That huge district Is a hard
one to serve and the people therein
should not make mistake by be-
coming unduly exacting.
Victor L. Power prates about
protection Of the constitution. The
worst assault ever committed on the
constitution in all northern Mime
sofa was condoned and protected by
Mr.. Power. The Little Giant also
believes in having protection of the
constitution well irrigated with ex-
tract of rye and corn.
Drunken bum Edwards no longer
Is faithful to Segrid, the adulterous
Cloquet wife and mother. The motor
ious fletcher and lewdster now lies
up with Madam Alice Royce-Patelle,
a henna-haired harlot and biindpig
proprietress in lawless Gilbert. That
notorious woman, by the way, Is a
former client Of Judge tanners, of
Duluth.
Frank A. Cutliff, candidate for
county commissioner in the Second
district, probably possesses an ad-
vantage on having his name on the
official ballot. Thomas H. Little and
Coleman F. Naughton will try to
counteract that advantage by prose-
cutting "sticker" campaign. An ex-
citing, three-cornered fight marks
the situation.
Instead of telling how the Rip-saw
has exposed some Of his fair but
frail female friends, the Chief Buzz
zard Of the Manure-Spreader better
tell how he has shamed, starved,
neglected, beaten and abused the
legal wife of his unmanly bosom.
Some of these bleary-eyed moon
shine addicts cannot see their own
blemishes when the glass is right
before them.
Louis TURF, Of Chisholm, borrow
ed $500 and loaned it to "Dapper
Bob" Felger with which to buy a
new automobile. Sheriff Magie's pet
deputy has neglected to repay the
loan, therefore TURF is reported to
have attached "Dapper Bob's" salary
as deputy sheriff. Many are wonder
ing If Madam Portia Mcknight, of
Hibbing, will act as legal adviser to
the gay young Lothario. 4
II there are any better roads in
st. Louis county than those con-
structed in the Fifth district under
Joe Becks, who has not found 1t
necessary to hire a superintendent,
thereby saving $250.00, $4,000 or
even more a month, no one has
been able to find them. Joe Becks
has done some work Of which his
district will be proud in the years
to come, if not this year Of campaign
and criticism.
J. Adam Bede probably will roast
La Toilette for not standing by the
straight republican ticket. About forty
years ago, this same j. Adam Bede,
then known as James Ambrose Bede,
bolted the congressional candidacy
of Major A. r. Anderson, repub-
lican, in southwestern Iowa, and
supported the democratic Pussy.
Major Anderson had ability and
habits quite On a par with those of
Victor L. Power. Bede's ideals are
not as elevated as they were forty
years ago.
When "Dapper Bob" Felger prom
ised to divorce his wife and to
marry Miss Agnes Oksa, she slipped
ring on his slippery finger that
was valued at SITS. After the en-
gagement was called off, "Dapper
Bob" neglected and then refused to
return the ring. A legal action may
be required to get back the valuable
bit of jewelry. It sincerely is hoped
that "Dapper Bob" did not get hold
of any Of the rare rings belonging
to. the pulchritudinous and highly
intellectual Portia- of Hibbing.
