pIEKEMA FOR SPEAKER

one Of the week end developments
at Washington was the announcement
Of Representative Diekema that he

did not intend to allow his plans to
be made public so early, but he was
put i'm a position where he had to fish

whether he would support Speaker

to him. says the Mining Journal He
informed his interrogation that he did
not expect to be able to do so. as ne
is counting on seeking Uncle Joe's job
himself.
How irremediable the break away
from Speaker Cannon has been is
shown by the fact that at least four
members of the Michigan delegation
have announced that they will not
support him for the speakership If lie
seeks IL again. There's been nothing
insurgent about the Michigan delega-
ton. IL has been tracking along com
fortably with the crowd, and has been
well treated by both Uncle Joe and
the other powers. When n third Of

PROPOSED MICHIGAN ExPoSI-
ZION In 1912.

Mayor Breitmeyer of Detroit, has
taken the initiative in regard TO "A pro-
posed observance in 1912 of The seven
ty-nfth anniversary of the admission
Of Michigan to the union of states. It
is planned TO have the celebration Of
this event take the form of an EXPOSE
ton which shall be worthily repre-
sentative of the wonderful resources
of the Wolverine state i'm agriculture,
manufacturing, mining and other re-
spccts. The idea Is a commendable
one. and it is TO hoped that it will not
be permitted to fall short of its pur-
pose through any lack of support, Ell
Their in Detroit or the state at large.
Michigan has to it's credit a most
enviablo record i'm the way OF having
made advan cement along all lines
which make for great commonwealth
since it's advent into the sisterhood or
states on January 26, 1897, and as one

and agricultural states of the nation

revelation To the rest OF the country,
To say nothing of opening the eyes of a
great many Of its own people as TO the
vastness Of it's wealth and resources.
The opportunity which is thus pre-
scented for making such a showing
should appeal to the people of the
state so strongly as to insure the ma
terialization OF the projected eXposi-
ton.
Now that a start has been made in
that direction through the timely ac-
ton Of Mayor Breitmeyer in bringing
the matter to the attention of the
business men of Detroit, the move
ucnt should be taken up and given an
impetus i'm every city and community
i'm the state, TO the end that when the
time comes for calling upon the legis-
lature to do It's part i'm helping along
the exposition project there may be
such a pronounced ana widespread
sentiment in favor of the enterprise
as will leave no doubt Of favorable ac-
ton on the part of that body.

for some time patrons have been COM
planning and asking to have the rate
changed. Another inequality rectihed
was the charge TO saloons for lights
by the flat rate. Saloons have been
paying fifty cents per light per month
while other establishments have been
charged but thirty five cents. This
difference in price was established on
the theory that saloons habitually
break the law and keep open after
eleven o'clock. This is not the case
now and saloon lights have been
burned no longer than lights in 9TH
er business establishments.

sources of late For instance, the
municipality of Shanghai, china, lately
made an appropriation Of $500 from
the ciUs budget for an athletic field

tells of the completion of a fund of
$4,000 for an association building at

Welsh IS repnted to haye the finest
Auditorium to be found in Southwest
ern Louisiana. This SPLENDID struc'
ture was erected through the gener0s'
ity and enterprise of the people OF
Welsh, who contributed something
like Sic, 900. in order that the people
of this vicinity might have more
commodious place for public gather
ings than they had hitherto enjoyed.
Prior to the erection OF this building
the excellent lecture courses that were
provided through the enterprise of the
ladies Club, OF this place, were given
in the school auditorium, where,
although greatly handicapped by the
Inconvenience Of the building, num-
Der of high class entertainments were
furnished each season. 1t would seem
shat with the SPLENDID building that
we now have, the town should be fur
niShed with an abundance OF entertain
mentS On tue contrary we are with
out any, not even the Lecture Course
of former years. In fact Welsh pre-
sents peculiar spectacle of having a
splendid building for entertainn rntS
and people who generously patron
iZe any thing from moving picture

season, nor none booked TO be given,
