WE could not expect our neighbors
to remain long oblivious of Michigau's
horrid murder list. The Toledo Blade
thus notes it: "As a leading State, Mlchi-
gan is growing. Always bound to be at
the front, the Peninsular State is, by
the fearful and mysterious crimes con-
stantly blackening Its name, managing
TO keep there" What are We going to
do to correct this state of affairs?

exercise proper supervision over its
property, as required by the State con-
stitution. Maryland is playing TO hard
luck with a company of Democratic
