The wires brought good news from
Panama. The canal is to be finished
in 1919-two years in advance of the
time set by the commission that ini-
tiated the great undertaking. No sup
plement bills of extra expenses will
be necessary and the original appro-
priation will complete the job, says
the Detroit News. This is very graft
flying to the American people who
were told that, like the French, they
would find the herculean task an i'm
possible one We were told, too, that
incapacity, errors. graft and unfore-
seen contingencies would arise to de-
lay the work indefinitely, and to swell
the estimated cost. These things were
not so. All the troubles on. Panama
were those that never happened. The
big ditch promises 10 be one of the
most creditable of our national

Hat orr to the Day spring.

The True Northerner bows in
humble submission to the opin-
ion of the Hartford Day Spring
and deputy attorney general of
the State of Michigan.
Some time ago, the True North
erner took issue with our friend
the Day Spring on the question
of the legal right Of women in
the townships to vote on the
granting of an electric railway
franchise. 1t was our cOnten-
ton that the constitution of the
state gave women in the town
ships the same right to vote on
this question that it did in the vii
lagos. That any other construct
ion would be unfair and unjust.
The Day Spring thought other
wise, and last week published an
opinion from the deputy attorney
general sustaining its conten-
ton.
The True Northerner still
maintains and believes that the
supreme court would affirm our
decision, and in this opinion we
are upheld by some Of the lead
ing attorneys Of the county. But
in the absence of a ruling from
the higher tribunal, we will
take off our hats and bow to the
ruling of our esteemed contem-
porary, and the deputy attorney
general.
