Justice, of the "unwarranted attacks

know Mr.. Osborn recognize the fact
that he Is so far above the outfit
that deals out venom IN the New

But, in passing il might be noted
that our 500 friend Is simply getting a

for insinuations of dishonesty or dis

of the scurrilous attacks of the Detroit
News upon upper peninsula Legislators
may pass for the time but they
don't do any good aud generally react
in the long run
We hope that the 500 News will pro-

the future that many Of the attacks,
both It's own and rs reproductions,
