Elliott's Timely Clot

Zach team theratened with a single in the opening round, but each threat was merely a flash in tfe pan. But in the sec ond. after the Lookouts had failed .o make an impression, the Barons got busy. Nc Tilvray drew walk, and when Murch t.rcw the bounder of Johnson over the head of Lister, the Barons occupied third and second Yantz then hit to More and rhe accommodating Lookout proceeded to boot the sphere. McGilvray might have scored, but had he done so, much of the glimmer of "Rowdy' Elliotts stunt would have been eliminated. So the bases were laden when the hefty puncher s,.,ared himself for the battle between the wits and wing of the pitcher and the eye and nerve of the swatter. For a whiie, 1t was an nip and tuck conflict, ani when the count was tlVeel lballs and two st..res, no one could Have secured bet ter than even money that the pitcher would triumph.
 And then on the listening ear came the smack of that clout. The eye followed tne hurting sphere and the mouth cried ul,uG the joy of the heart.

Senator Guy Miller's Work

though he must have known that II Is
a non-partisan measure, in which the
people of both parties in Detroit are
intensely interested. Equally spe-
cious was his plea that With a petit
ton circulated in the ordinary fash.
ion, 1t would be impossible TO verify
the signatures. Evidently the seia-
tor must have forgotten that a petit
ton circulated to this end several
months ago bore the signatures OF
about 10000 citizens of Detroit, and
that heroic but Intellectual efforts
were made to discredit the signers.
At that time only $4,000 were
required and $4,000 were sub
mitted to the council, while 1000
were later added.
Equally curious was the contention
OF Senator Scott, the Republican who
introduced the bill. He announced
his opposition TO the original bill sew
eral days ago on the ground that he
did not believe that a majority OF the
people of Detroit would favor mum.
cipal ownership. II the opponents or
municipal ownership are so positive
that they are or the majority inter
est, why are they so fearful OF the
submission TO q popular vote? In no
other way can the attitude Of the peo-
pie be definitely determined, yet the
men who are sure the majority would
favor perpetual submission TO the
control OF the d. L. r. show an al
most frantic opposition TO the actual
test.
Senator Miller's action must have
been highly pleasing TO the corpora
ton which is chiefly interested in pre-
venting an expression Of the public
opinion upon this vital issue.-The
Detroit News

For the sake of future illustration
let us imagine a matter Of vital in
terest before a court for judicial de-
termination. and the Judge. after look
ing over the list OF witnesses, dectc.
ing in advance that their testimony
will be Irrelevant, and OF no impor-
tance, and so refusing TO let them pc
nut on the stand For another Illus
tration suppose public election In
which public sentiment IS divided on
a single issue which is TO be determ-
ined by a count of votes, and the can
vassing board having decided on It's
own account that the majority In
clines to a certain opinion, declaring
that 1t will be useless TO count the
votes and arbitrarily declaring which
side has won the election. This is the
sort of thing that Is being done at
Lansing by men who claim 10 repre-
sent the people of the state OF Michi-
gan and the city Of Detroit.
Senator Guy Miller, a few weeks
ago, introduced measure which
would have subjected the city OF De-
troit TO an unnecessary cost or nun
dreds OF thousands OF dollars for
necessary grade separations Be-
cause of the measure that he propos'
ed II became necessary TO send spe-
cial delegation of the common council
and the Board OF Commerce TO Ian
/ sing TO undo the mischief and save
the city from private exploitation
Senator Miller is again 10 the fore
with measure TO defeat the original
intent Of the Scott home rule amend
ments. The amendment Senator Nil
Ter offered practically prevents the
citizens of Detroit from enjoying the
common right OF petition with regard
to municipal ownership Instead oi
conditioning the submission OF this
question upon the petition OF 20 pei
cent OF the electors, the Miller
amendment requires that 25 per cent
of all the electors must sign the peti

Senator Murtha called attention to
the effect OF the amendment and pro
sented the original provision as ar
amendment TO the Miller amendment
Then followed a curious exhibition
OF special pleading and specious argu

cause the framer of the Scott bill was
Democrat, that 1t was Democratic
measure and therefore had only the
backing Of the minority party, al
