FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN
A Proposal That Was Opposed by the
Democratic Candidate For
GovarNnr

The proposal which Lawton T. He
mans as member of the state con-
stitutional convention sought to defeat
through reference to II as little
piece OF sentiment"-a proposal which
sought to especially provide in the
constitution that Michigan legislatures
should have the power to enact laws
relative to the hours and conditions
under which women and children
should be employed. was introduced
by delegate especially representing
the women and children of Michigan
who are working for wages, and 1t
was supported in the convention by
big-hearted men who employed women
and children and who knew how de
sirable and important 1t was that such
regulations should be permanently
provided for.
1t was this proposal which Mr.. He
mans opposed In speech on the floor
OF the constitutional convention, re-
ferring to 1t as unworthy of serious
attention and doing all in his power
to prevent favor for 1t.
But the proposal was approved by
the convention and later approved by
the people of Michigan and is now
permanently established in our state
constitution.
Mr. Hemans' position on this mat
ter OF so much Importance to thou
sands Of women and children in the
factories and mills and work shops of
the state is further explanation Of
why in this campaign no reference s
being made by himself or his party
supporters to the official record of the
Democratic candidate for governor.

COSTS NOTHING TO STATE.
Critics of Oil and Salt inspection
Neglected to Note This.

The Democratic candidate for gov
ernor and his political supporters are
very insistent in their demand that
the state oil inspection and state
salt inspection departments shall be
abolished. They are making this
statement so they explain, in the al
legged interest of state economy. II is
evidently not known to Mr.. Hemans
and his friends that both these de-
partmencs are sources Of net revenue
to the state rather than of expense.
They are both maintained by fees col
lected FROM the oil companies and the
salt companies and the results of
their operation through recent years
have been quite profitable to the
state. The state oil inspection de-
partment paid into the treasury more
than $4,000 last year in excess of
all its expenses. and its net profits
this year will probably be greater. It
may or may not be true that these de-
partments are lacking great practical
value to the state, but the fact that
they do not cost the taxpayers of
Michigan q single cent, but on the
contrary are sources of very COM
Portable income entirely disposes of
tr. Heplans' objection to their ex-
sfcnce.

Council Notes.

Fred Aberle rendered the deed for
property used as an alley beginning
at Comstock street, just west OF his
property, and connecting that street
with the rear of the SURROUNDINGS in
the first block east OF Washington
street. Mr.. Aberle purchased the
property some time ago to insure a
means of reaching rear of his store,
occupied by John Evans, and desir-
ing that 1t be made permanent, has
decided it to the city.
Rev. w. o. Nease Of the Holiness
Seminary on South Washington
street and a number of other citizens
living in that portion of the city
were present at the meeting and en-
tered a protest against the position
in which large piers for the L. & N.
e. company's bridge are being con-
structed across Cute street.
According to the gentlemen who
the street is but 10 feet at one point.
The city engineer was instructed to
investigate and learn whether or not
the company is living up to its con-
tract in placing the piers so. He will
report at the next meeting.
Upon motion of Alderman Refine
Ike, the council extended the time for
the completion of the Ball street
paving, to November 30th.
Justice G.. F. Friegel's report of
receipts in the municipal court dur
ing the month Of October. shows that
$45.60 was collected in civil cases
and $500 in criminal cases. This
amount Is considerably larger than
the September receipts.

TO ACCOMMODATE
A LANSING FRIEND
Mr.. Hemans Explains Why He
introduced Bucketshop Bill

Mr.. Hemans has explained that he
introduced the bill seeking to provide
for the legal existence of bucketshops
to accommodate a Lansing friend.
Possibly this same unusual spirit OF
accommodation explains why Mr.. He.
mans voted for more appropriation
bills than any other member of the
legislature and afterwards as a mem.
Der of the constitutional convention
oratorically declared that Michigan
legislatures had never been extrava.
CANT
And this spirit of accommodation
on Mr.. Hemans' part evidently con.
tinued until he became the Democrat
ic candidate for governor.
And now we see the man who
served through two regular sessions
of the legislature and one special ses
sion and as member of the constitu.
tional convention, during all of which
time he voted for Increased appropri
ations, for the establishment of new
state boards, and vigorously defend.
ed all legislative expenditures-this
man is now basing his principle claim
to favor from the voters of Michigan
for the Office of governor on the
ground that what he had done in the
past should not have been done and
that what he had said in the past
should not have been said.
Mr.. Hemans' former statements
were made as state official under
oath and bound by special obligation
to the people of Michigan TO speak
the truth.
His present declarations are being
made at partisan gatherings in behalf
of partisan policies and for a personal
purpose.
1t should not be difficult for the
voters of Michigan to decide which
series of Mr. Hemans' contradictory
declarations relating to exactly the
same matters are apparently most
worthy Of acceptance and belief.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!
Election Of Townsend as United
States Senator Can Only Come
Through Republican LEGISLATURE.


Through Republican Legislature.
Attention has been called to the
fact, but it can well be repeated, that
the election of Republican United
States senator in Michigan as the re-
suit of the coming state election can
only be accomplished through the
election Of Republican members of the
state legislature. Congressman Charles
E. Townsend was made the candi-
date OF the Republicans OF Michigan
at the primary election, but under the
terms of our state constitution the
senator from this state must be for
mally elected by the next state legis-
lature. Failure on the part of Michi-
gan Republicans to elect majority
of the legislature would result in the
defeat OF Mr.. Townsend and the cleo.
ton Of Democratic senator from
this state. Your vote for the Repub-
lican candidate for member of the
Legislature from your district will be
vote for Mr.. Townsend for United
States senator, and in no other way
at this time can the individual Repub-
lican voter assist in Mr.. Townsend's
election. 1t is important not only to
the Republicans of MICHIGAN but TO
oil who are interested in the progress
and advancement cf our state that
This matter should be kept clearly I'm

ABOUT "ORCHARD" COUNTY.

The esteemed Milton Eagle has
learned that throughout the state
there is a strong sentiment in favor
Of voting down all county division
bills Citing the slogan of the anti
jIvisionists to "vote against all county
division bills" the Eagle screams like
this:
Then why did the state constitute
on declare for certain population,
4 certain amount of wealth and so
much territory. The eastern states
are cut up into subdivisions called
counties oregon is divided into un-
equal parts, which we call counties,
but which in New England they would
be very glad to have as states. 1t is
easier to go to the eastern section of
the United States and set off county,
although they have counties there,
than IL is to have a new county carved
out Of the vast empires of which Ore
gon is composed. The only wonder
L. that Oregon ever had anything ex-
cept Portland, Wasco county and the
assembly That should have been suf-
dcient How famous this rich state
might have been. By rich. we mean
by what nature has done-but poor,
indeed. by what its citizens have
done"
But how much richer would the
people Of the east end be with Orch
ard county in existence? The farms
and the orchards of that section
would yield no more than they do at
present. The only increase would be
ir taxes. If the result should be the
same as in Hood River county the in
crease for the first year would be
something like 61.4 per cent. Would
the people Of the east end be willing
TO STAND for such an increase in order
TO be like the east?"
And now that the Milton Eagle has
broken its long silence upon this sub
ject it might be in order to ask that
paper a question or two with refer.
once to the "Orchard" county bill
Why did the men who drafted thai
bill resort to such unfairness in draft.
ing the boundary lines? Why did they
include Weston and Athena and thu
weston-Athena country? Why did
they include in the proposed new
county most Of the farming sectior
adjoining Helix and most Of the Ad
ans country? None OF that territor!
wanted to be in Orchard" county
It would work a grave injustice ol
those towns and those sections wer
they be. included in "Orchard" coun
ty.
Again the Eagle might explain tn
reason for such haste in trying I

oivisionists not wait until law is en-
acted leaving the settlement OF sue

second choice feature, to concentrate

was always a danger that made the
