MYSTERY IN DEATH
OF TWO MEN IN WOODS

FLINT. Mich. Feb. 24.-The police
authorities are today endeavoring 10
learn the cause of death of two men
whose bodies were found last night
lying close together in the woods six
miles from this city.
The victims. Irwin Morrish. 30
years old and Edwin Emmett. 40, both
OF Flushing. were engaged in clear
ing land by William r. Tower. q
farmer living on the Flushing road.
Nothing was seen OF the men after
they lefl the Tower home at l o'clock
Tuesday afternoon when they left to

dinner. until their dead bodies were
found by Tower.

the ground six feet TO the left of the
men. While 1t is believed by many
that the men We're caught under the
tree as il fell. there are other circum-
stnncs which lead to the belief that
they must have met death In some
other way.

FOLK APPEALS FOR
BETTER GRADE OF
CITIZENSHIP
SAYS REPUBLIC WILL SURVIVE
ONLY BY UNsELFisH EFFORTS
OF THOSE WHO CONSIDER THE
PUBLIC VEAL ALONE.

A simple. direct and forceful APP
peal for better citizenship was made
by ex-Gov. Folk, of Missouri. in his
lecture, An era OF conscience, Civ
ell in simpson NJ, K. church, Tuesday
evening, under the auspices or the
Tull Bible class. His words carried
conviction and seemed 10 make
deep impression on his hearers, for
there was much food for thought In
his remarks. Throughout the address
he emphasized the fact that good cit
liens are unobtrusiye, while the bad
element is persstently and perniciouS
~ active.
The people, the average voter. you
and |, are responsible for the future
of the government" he said. III thu
American republic is TO survive II
must be- saved by the efforts OF the
patriotic citizens who want nothing
for themselves but the advantages
advantages that will accrue from the
general public veal. III the public
learns to appreciate this. learns Ia
know the dangers that threaten our
future. and learns the strength that
rests with the voters. he funre or this
government is assured.
Il am not an alarmist, and / dc
not believe that the United States OF
America will cease to exist as a re-
public today nor tomorrow. We have
lasted 1873 years--a long time when
compared with the average period OF
one mans public activity. but short
in the history of nations. Venice had
republican form OF government for
! 200 years; Carthage endured as
republic for 700 years. and Athens
lasted 900 years through there were
intermissions during that time. Flor
ence was republic for 300 years and
Rome for 500.
I'VE are likely To- believe too strong
ly in the efficacy OF laws. Rome had
the Justinian code-said to be the
most perfect system of laws ever de-
vised by men-so good that they are
models TO this day. And yet--Rome
rotted and went to ruin even while the
| Justinan code was in full force. The
hearts of the people We're wrong The
| laws were there. but they were not
obeyed and contempt OF the laws
lsprung up that ended the Roman EN-
pire"
