ANYTHING TO SAVE
GOOD IS SLOGAN
G. 0. P. Machine Swaps" Votes
With Democrats in Effort To
Elect Former Mayor.

It's anything to elect Codd with the
ex-mayor's friends in the present judi
cial campaign. And Colds friends,
in this instance, constitute the old G.
o. p. machine both in city and county
In the effort TO land Codd, the ma
chine is willing to swap votes with
the Democrats on almost any old
terms, regardless OF whom II hurts
Some of the other Republican judicial
the methods Of the Codd supporters
and their friends are preparing to re-
taiiate ip some Inanpsre,.s
is out strong for Codd. which Is to be
expected, In view of the fact that
many of the men In the department
received their appointments under
the Codd administration. The word
has gone forth among the foremen to
do all In their power for Codd, and
the foremen, In turn, are passing the
word along to the men under them.
On election day every man will be out
in his respective precinct rounding up
votes for Codd and Codd only, as far
as the Republican ticket Is concerned,
for 1t Is "plumpers" on which the
machine relies to land its man.
Take care of Codd," is the slogan.
and. in parenthesis, Never mind the
others"
Everything points TO an exceedingly
light vote this spring. Outside the
Sixth, Third, Fifth, Seventh and Sew
enteenth wards there are practically
no contests in the city. and In most or
the rural districts the election will be-
largely formality. the contests hav-
ing all been fought out In the pri-
maries. In Wyandotte, for instance,
where they are holding their first cleo
tion under the commission form OF
government, Charles n. Marr has
been nominated for mayor by both
parties.
So the dope" on the results is pret.
ty hard to figure this spring. The
outlook for the election Of at least
three Democratic judges, Murphy.
Hosmer and Hally, seems no less
promising than early In the campaign.
Some Of the more optimistic Demo-
Gratis are going so far as to say that
Charles T. Wilkins also has good
chance. wilkins stock certainly has
been coming up within the past week
or two and Wilkins talk is heard
everywhere.
On the Republican side, the wise
acres are picking Mandell and Van
Zile winners, with OFT or Codd for
third place. II four Republicans are
elected Judge Donovan has chance.
II is thought.

When Daisy Snyder. pale-cheeked
and sorrow-eyed, was led before
Police Justice Stein, Wednesday
morning, to answer charge Of sim
pie larceny, the mystery, Of numer-
Gus larcenies that have recently oc-
Cured in houses of worship here, was
solved.
The prisoner was identified by De
tectiyes Hogan and Horrigan as q girl

church thefts. When the officers con

guilt she broke down and Confessed
! Daisy has been a devout worshiper
IL seems. She has been going faith
fully to Catholic churches about the
city. She would kneel down and pray
taking care to select position neal
some other worshiper. During thS
devotions of her neighbor, she woulc
extract whatever jewelry and money
she could from the handbags OF purses
OF her victims and then depart.
From one woman, she stole dia

thefts. These were committed at vari

SENTIMENT HERE
Postal Clerks Willing To Lay Griev-
ances Before Public Opinion, Says
Vice President Schardt.

p. j. Schardt, OF Milwaukee, vice
president of the Railway Mail Clerks
association, was the speaker at the
Boar dof Commerce luncheon, in the
Hotel Tuller, Wednesday noon, his
subject being The Relation of the
railway mail service to the CONNER
cial world
The speaker described the work
ings OF the railway mail system and
the service that II renders to the
commercial world The postal ser
vice will be what the people want II
to be-" said Mr.. Schardt The man.
agement OF 1t Is in the hands Of he
people, through their representatives
in Washington. 1t Is a question that
should be seriously considered by the
people whether 1t is advisable to re-
duce tn eexpenses of the service at
the cost of reduced efficiency.
The chief cause of complaint
against the service at present is that
1t is undermined and that mail is
sometimes delayed in central cities
as long as "a hours. because there is
not the proper force to sort 1t In
transit
strike in the railway mail service. I
am glad to say that find no feelings
of that sort around Detroit, though
there is at present considerable dis
satisfaction in the northwest. Ii Is
true that overtures have been receiv-
ed from the American Federation of
Labor, asking that our organization
enter into an alliance with them, but
do not believe that We will have
to resort to coercive measures as
long as American public opinion Is
alive 10 the necessity OF what we ask
for. We are willing to trust to the
people TO grant our reasonable de-
mands. The danger Is that public
opinion VIII not pay the proper at
tention to the affairs of the service
and allow policy of false economy
to impose unreasonable restrictions
upon us.
Mr.. Schardt was the guest Of honor
and principal speaker of the annual
banquet, Tuesday evening, in the Hote'
Ste. Claire, of Detroit branch of the
ninth division OF teh Railway Mail
auxiliaries. Mr.. Schardt advocated
the utmost publicity In regard TO the
affairs of the association and declared
he had no sympathy with the move
ment TO form a secret organization to
carry all grievances of the association
to the government. The railway mail
service is not labor union" declared
Mr. Schardt. THE public are the
stockholders, congress the directors
and the postal department the man
ayers. In the past ten years the
wages in all other lines of endeavcr
have largely increased while that Of
the railway mail clerk has remained
at a standstill"

F. c. Osborn Nails the Inspectors
Who Voted Against the Peoples
Pocketbooks.

To the Editor OF The Times: In q
statement, printed on Friday last
In the Detroit Journal, on the MS
tory" of the text book controversy
not all the facts were brought Out
nor do we think that the comments
following the documentary quotations
were without bias.
There have been two distinct ques'
tions involved in the controversy on
high school books. First. the furnish
ing of the bulk of the high school
books at cost, or at an advance OIL
10 per cent on the cost, to the pupils :
second, the furnishing OF compara'
lively small number OF such books,
as can be furnished free under the
state law, which specifies that those
free books must be confined to the
following subjects: photography, spell
ing, writing, reading, geography,
arithmetic, (English) grammar, TIN
Guiding language lessons), national
state history, civil government, and
physiology and hygiene. There was
and is, also, the controversy to Sc
cure lower prices on the elementary
books which have been bought by
the board and furnished free to grades
for a number of years.
The resolution of October 2S, 1909,
passed unanimously by the board, 10
the effect that the board handle all
high school books that could not be
furnished free, and sell them to the
pupils at actual cost, was In accord
ance with the recommendation of the
text book committee, which had just
previously been urged at one OF their
meetings by Mrs. W. III. Holden and
Mrs. F. c. Osborn to do this. These
ladies pointed out that this could
be done without investment OF any
funds by the board, as the books
would necessarily all be sold In Few
days and the cash be on hand to pay
for them.
But the opportunity to do this would
net occur before the following Feb
-ruxry, when a new term would be-
gin. Observe now what happened.
A further recommendation from the
text book committee In pursuit OF the
same object as the resolution OF Oc-
tober 2S, was submitted to the board,
Ian. 13. 1910, and was intended to fur
ther definitely carry out the object
OF that resolution. This recommended
tion from the ext book committee
was signed by Inspectors Mumford,
Condor, and Cary, and was not sign
ed by Inspectors Snitgen, chairman
of the committee, and Henderson, OF
the committee. although both OF these
men signed other recommendations,
printed in these same proceedings.
Tbia committee's report was laid on
the table until the next meeting, Jan.
81. 1910, the very last meeting at
which anything could be done before
the beginning of the school term, ear
" In February.
The vote. at this time, Jan. q. 1910.
was, therefore. crucial one because
II was taken at a time when some
thing really could be done.
The vote was on the adoption OF

n. n. kohIsaat, Chicago Editor,
Testifies That Big "SIush Fund"
Was Raised BY s"lnt-rests."

the election Of William Lorimer TO

to Fl. II. Kohlsaat. editor OF the Chi
cago Record-Herald, who testified be-
fore the state senate Lorimer investi-
cation committee today.
The assertion Of Kohlsaat, which he
reiterated three times TO the inyes-
! tigators, was made when he was ask
ed regarding an editorial that appear
ed in his paper shortly after the coll
fession OF Charles A. White that he
was paid to vote for Lorimer. In
large "Slush fund" had been raised
to secure the election OF Chicago 5

did you have good grounds Tor
the statement that slush fund Was
raised to secure Lorimer's election"
asked John j. Healy, of Chicago, at
torney for the committee.
II most certainly did said Mr..
Kohlsaat.
/ "will you state the amount OF the
| fund raised to secure Lorimer's cleo
ton, according TO your information?
"One hundred thousand dollars"
Are you sure Of your information
Il am
Mr.. Kohlsaat was asked to name the
persons who gave him the information
| that the Interests" had given up
ri 90 600 TO secure Lorimers election,
but refused.
Il was given the information In
strict confidence that would not di-
vulge the name of the informer. But
I will say this much. The man who
told me is active In state politics and
Is close enough to the interests TO
know what he is talking about. The
| information is strictly reliable.
! The name of former United States
Senator Albert j. Hopkins, of Illinois,
was drawn into the investigation this
afternoon. The committee announced
they wished TO have the former Illiu-
ois senator testify and he will be sum
moned at once. Lorimer succeeded

personal files were today cited at
the White House as direct refutation
of the testimony yesterday before the

the president had urged Lorimer's

cent corn products whole OF
chopped corn with few othe,
minor accessories (oyster shells,

with some meat scraps and

good results.
Now isn't that easy, so easy
when you know how, and l am
telling you how. The amateur
has no idea how near a carnivor-
Gus bird is our common hen; but
let him keep a small flock con-
fined in a narrow precinct for a
couple Of weeks without any
meat scraps, then give them
some and he will come to the
conclusion that he is looking after
a small sized menagerie instead
of a flock of poultry.
A f~irst-class house to accom-
modate fifty Wyandottes or any
other variety about their weight,
should not cost over twenty dol
lars, including a good roof and
painting. It is not necessary to
dwell much or go into any elabo-
rate detail regarding houses for
the South, just make them big
enough, with three tight walls
and a roof. What a saving in
cost over the double tarred paper
walls of the northern houses?
Another advantage is that the
green feed may be produced in
the yards or near by, almost
throughout the entire year.
Mr.. Southern man, the oppor-
tunity is yours, grasp it. It
will make us richer. The pack
ing houses of the North and
West are taking money for poul-
try and eggs from your town
that rightly belongs to you. Be
up and doing, enlarge your plant,
double your focks, improve your
idle hours and receive good re-
Enumeration therefor. Use your
best knowledge and common
sense, read and re-read reliable
poultry literature and in a short
time you will know all that is
necessary to bring success in the
chicken business.
