URGE PROMPT WORK
ON JAIL ADDITION
Which Will Be Used as Quar-
ters for Insane-Want It
Completed Jan. 1st.

That there should be no delay in
starting work on the construction of
the county custodial ward for the in
sane will be impressed on the commits
sioners at their next meeting and these
officials will be urged to take the in.
itiatory steps at once. 1t is probable
that at this meeting the architect will
have the plans completed and it will
then be up to the board to advertise
for bids.
Those who are most concerned in
having better place than the Jail in
which to confine the insane while
awaiting admttance to the asylum feel
that the work should be started in
September if possible in order that all
outside work may be finished before
cold weather sets in. The officials
hope to have the ward, which will be
located adjacent to the Jail, completed
by January 1.
Some change likely will be made in
regard to the arrangements for the
padded cell. The style planned for
and which has been used here for sew
eral years, is little more than a box
padded on the inside with six inch
pads with a small opening in the top
for the admission of air AS a conse-
Quence the padded cell is little more
than suffocating dungeon and the
authorities desire some modification
be made which will provide for more
air. They declare that to place a per-
son in the present type CT padded cell
is simply the imposition of a cruelty.

Attorney General Has Filed
Charges Against Famous
Food Expert for Paying
Out of Fees Improperly.
DOCTOR is MADDER
THAN ANGRY HORNET
His Resignation Has Not
Been Asked for, as the
President Wants to Hear
His Side of Question.
(National News Association

Washington, July 13.-President
Taft today sent to DR.. Harvey Wiley,
head of the government chemistry bu-
reau, copy of the charges and the
recommendation of dismissal contain
ed in a report recently made by At
torney General Wickersham, resulting
from an alleged secret agreement en-
tered into with DR.. r. H. Rusby, head
of the New York college of Pharmacy
whereby Rusby was allowed twenty
dollars a day for services as expert
pharmacist and fifty dollars a day for
mony for the department of agricul-
ture, contrary to the law governing
compensation.
The recommendation of dismissal
caused sensation. Wiley is fighting
mad. Upon his answer depends future
developments.
Wiley today refused to discuss the
fact that the verdict recommending his
dismissal, had been placed in the
hands of the president, but his friends
declared that a cabal had for some
time been trying to get him."
Oustins is Predicted.
That Wiley is likely to be ousted
was admitted by Secretary of Agricul
ture Wilson and officials of the depart.
ment of justice.
Attorney General Wickersham re.
Gently made a report to the president
in which he recommended Wiley be
dismissed. Along with the dismissal OF
Wiley was recommended that Dr. Rus.
by be deprived of his position as ex.
pert pharmacists and that DR.. L. F.
kebler, chief of the division of drugs
of the bureau of chemistry be released
to subordinate position. Kebler is
charged with making the fee arrange
ment with Rusby with Wiley's consent
The law provides that a per diem
compensation of such experts shall not
exceed $11 per day. Wiley, therefore
is alleked to have unlawfully paid DR.
RuSby government money and this is
the cause of the recommendation of at
torney general that the famous food
and drug adulteration expert be dis
missed. The president it was announc
ed at the white house did not go over
the papers. DR.. Wiley will have a
chance to answer the charges made
against him, it was announced at the
white house today. Wiley's resignation
has not been asked for

Librarians Place and Power" which
like her Wednesdays lecture on The
Childrens Right to Poetry" proved to
be very instructive.
The influence which librarian may
exert in community. Mrs. Elmendorf
declared, should result in a great deal
of good toward the community. Her
position makes her one of the most in
fluential persons III a community and
fer this reason her power is great
Children should be encouraged in
the reading of good poetry because it
has great influence in the broaden
ing of both the spiritual and mental
life of child. In order that the
children may have the benefit of good
poetry, it is the opinion of Mrs. Ell
mendorf. the librarian should herself
know good poetry. Some of the best
poems which are adaptable for child
reading We're enumerated by the
speaker. The children have no
greater right than every one else has.
Mrs. Elmendorf said in discussing the
subject, but when children get a con
ception of their rights, this conception
lasts all through life"
The librarians great problem-book
selection-was discussed at the after
noon session by Mrs. Elmendorf. The
process of elimination of the thousand
and one publications which are placed
on the market each year must be care
fully handled as the important feature

the needs of the library. For this rea

to personally examine each new book
her ability in selecting publications
suitable for the work is largely mat

an must study the old collection, the
purpose of the library and inquire as
to the authors and publishers. Some
authors nearly always write good
books. Mrs Elmendorf believes the Sc
lection OF new fiction is the mosS diff
ficult of book selection.

A WALL OF FLAMES.

Bay City. Mich. July 13.-An almost
solid wall of flame today is soaring
northward and threatening to blot out
the entire upper third of the Michigan
peninsula. Twenty one counties are
included in the fire zone and unless
heavy rains set in, Upper Michigan
will suffer the most appalling confla-
grafton in its history.
Gov. Osborn today is making plans
to succor the survivors with all the
resources of the state and to make des-
perate efforts to have rescuers break
through the Are wall and lead the i'm
periled men, women and children to
safety, his frst step being a proclama-
tion calling upon the people of tho
entire state to aid the stricken folk
of the Upper peninsula. A supply OF
tents and food was made ready for
shipment to East Tawas from where
they will be distributed to the starving
and homeless refugees.
Fear Of Starvation.
Starvation is adding to the fire hor-
ror. Hundreds of homeless, many OF
them women and children, have fled
to towns that have escaped the fire
ravages. In every instance they have
been welcomed with open arms by the
people. who did not know that but
within the next "A hours they would
find their homes also in ashes. The
food supply is short in all of these
towns and in many instances entirely
exhausted. Starvation is an imminent
menace facing hundreds of survivors
and unless supplies can be forwarded
to them within "a hours the death roll
will be increased.
State Fire Warden Oates today re-
ported that the fires are raging
through the following counties: Manis-
tee. Grand Traverse. kalkaska, Craw-
ford, Osceola, Altoona, Leelau, Antrim,
Otsego, Montmoreiy. Alpena. Charlie

while only three dead have been actu-
ally accounted for in. Oscoda and Au

of hope that sustained our fathers dur

their faith.
AS long as the Irishmen kept their
faith Of their God, so they wisely and
very constantly refused to lay down
their hope. If Ireland laid down her
hope in despair that high note of
Catholic character would never be in
her. The Irish people never knew they
were beaten. Year after year, day in
and day out. while the nations around
were amazed at the bulldog tenacity
of that people with two ideas, namely,
that they were Catholic and a nation
ireland never lost sight of her hope.
Ours is a race that has almost hoped
against hope. I say that comes from
our Catholic religion, the Catholic re-
ligion that tells us: you are down
today; don't be afraid, hold on, lean
upon your God, you will be up to-
morrow

WISE POLICY
The Church in this Country is No.
TrammeIed by Government.

President, Taft, in the course OF an
address to a Congress Of the Episco-
pal Church held in Washington the
other day, says the Monitor. New
ark gave very good description OF
the character OF the relationship ex-
listing in the United States between
Church and State. These are his
words: eve have no State Church,
because all Churches that are work
ing for the uplifting Of men and the
spirit are State Churches within the
protection, but not within the guidance
or control, of the Government" Vol
umes could not convey better idea
Of the attitude the American Govern
ment maintains towards all Churches
with which it is brought in contact.
Over all Of them it holds Its shield,
guaranteeing them all their legal
rights, whilst not presuming to guide
or control them in any manner.
1t is the species Of liberty the Cath
olic Church has asked some European
governments to grant her, but has
asked in vain. The French Govern
ment, for instance, even after separa-
ton, is constantly interfering in
| Church matters with which the United
States Government would never dream
Of meddling. Think for moment of
a Catholic priest being hailed before
an American court OF law for deliv-
ering sermon on the school question,
which did not happen to meet with the
approval Of the local civil authorities.
What is inconceivable as occurring in
the United States, is frequently hap
pening in France where the kind of
happy cooperation between Church
: and State, of which President Taft
speaks, is unknown and undesired
by the present rulers of that country.
