Pull Together.

No town will become good bust
ness center so long as its business men
rely on a few merchants to make the
effort To bring trade to town. Too
often the men in few lines OF trade
are about the only ones that reach out
after custom. Other merchants wait
until these men induce the people 10
come to town and content themselves
with trade that naturally drifts TO
their place. A public spirited man
should ask himself If he il dong his
part to attract people TO come to town
and trade in helping the entire bust
ness community, and no town Is a
success unless all lines are working to
extend the trade as far as possible and
trying 10 bring larger territory in
the circles in which the town Is the

Shall We Grow Fancy Potatoes?

Traverse City, Mich, Jan. l0.-A
movement has been started directed
towards the development OF a fancy
atoindustry Ia Western Michigan.
A few weeks since, a careful iDvesti-
gation of the potato situation In
Chicago was made by member OF
the Western Michigan Development
Bureau, and said Investigator has re-
10 ted that there Is increasing de-
mand among the classy hotels and
restaurants for extra fine stock for
baking purposes and that these places
are paying from ten To twenty cents
more bushel for the purpose OF get
Ting fancy lubers. AT the present
time Colorado stock is being used 10
supply this trade bnt 1t is now pro-
posed to enlist the farmers OF Western
Michigan in an enterprise TO grow
potatoes to satisfy these demands.
New seed is To be introduced and the
planting date is to be advanced so as
To get the stock fairly ripe before the
early fall frosts. Those who are back.
ing the industry are sure that West
err Michigan can meet the western
states In this matter Of supplying tor
grade potatoes for tue fancy trade.

The statement reported from Lam
sing in connection with the conven-
tion of the prosecuting a torneys of
the state that the prosecuting attor-
ney Of Calhoun county had found fault
with the operation OF the local opt ion
law ia that county and had pronounc-
ed it unsuccessful. proves TO be just
the opposite Of the statement actually
made by Prosecuting Attorney Cav
anaugh. At the Lansing meeting Of
the prosecuting attorneys Mr.. Cavan-
augh read paper in which he refer
red To some needed changes in the
local option law through which IL
would be made more effective. But
at the same time he declared his fav-
or for local option and his confidence
In its value. In the course OF re-
cent letter replying to request for
information as TO the results of the
law in his county Prosecutor Cavan-
augh stated That the effects in Cal
houn county had been surprisingly
good. There has been an increase la
the volume of general business in Bat
tie Creek and In the county and the
local option law had resulted in bet
ter circumstances for the working
men OF the city than they had ever
before enjoyed. He told OF the in
crease In the savings department of
about 81 100000 for the four banks of
Battle Creek aud OF the declaration
made 10y merchants that they could
ascribe some part OF the recent in
crease TO their trade TO the fact that
the saloons no longer were there.
Prosecuting Attorney Cavanaugh then
summed up the several phases of bet
torment OF Calhoun county with this
declaration. This all insures such
an added benefit TO the wives and
children and IL Is SO apparent that IL
Is hard TO see why any one could adj
vocate the return Of the saloon" 1t
Is quite evident that there need be no
fear OF criticism or condemnation OF
local option so far as the prosecuting
attorney of Calhoun county is con-
cerned.

About Advertising.

1t does not pay to advertise say
some merchants who have done but
little of it and that without keeping
it up. The incident Of the boy and
the pump illustrates the matter very
well. The boy was sent after pail
Of water. He poured 10 the printing
and poured out as much as he poured
in. Then he stopped to rest and the
printing ran down. After some time
OF alternate pumping aud resting he
concluded it did not pay TO pump and
quit in disgust. The merchant who
does not believe In advertising does
like the boy who did the pumping.
He advertised few weeks, then stop
ped a while and allowed the people TO
forget him and his business before he
advertised again and then concluded
advertising didn't pay.

.GOMPERS DEFIANT:
|. LABOR BOOKS OPEN
1Nohing In McNamara Case to Hide In Leaders Acts
IT, He Says-No Dodgng-Throws Gauntlet to
l.nfs Those Who "Clamor.'

Answering those who profess to be
/ 'after the men higher up" in the dyna-
hitting conspiracies, Samuel Gompers,
president of.the American Federation of
| Labor, today challenged an inquiry
into the files. records, and documents
OF the federation. President Gompery
says the books are open.
In an editorial in the American Fed
, erationist, proofs of which were made
public today. The labor leader reviews
! the Mcnamara case, teIks of the activi-
ties OF Federal officials, and throws
down the gauntlet to all who would
/ seek "the men higher up in the dyna-
T,iting cases.
I'VE have nothing to hide" says
( President Gompers. I'VE are ready at
! any time for tho agents of the law to
begin investigating. Files. records OF
all kinds-account books-everything in
documentary shape is open to them.
All that has been spoken or printed, or
written to our correspondents, IL SUBJ
5ect to their inquiries. Every act of
every official may be freely looked into.
No one Is going to dodge or rim away"
Answer to Press.
Z President Gompers says the invitation
may be considered as an answer to the
clamor for 1.-The men higher up" and
also to the repeated announcements in
the press of a nationwide investiga-
tion by Federal officials" Mr.. Gompers
says he does not know how to make
his assertions Of willingness to aid more
sweeping.
As to the position of the heads of or
/ ganized labor in the Mcnamara case,
Gompers declares the Federation stands
behind the statement made to the press
December 8. 1t Is stated there has been
no criticism of the statement that would
cause labor to change 1t.
Grit your teeth and organize" is the
parting advice given to labor men and
women everywhere, after the McNa-
haustively treated in the editorial.
Speaking Of the Los Angeles dyna-
hitting affair, President Goinpers says: !,
ITO the minds of the friends OF the
to eiscredit the established principles.
the accepted policies and procedures, or
the general body of officials of the
trades union movement.
What has happened has been a de-
plorable incident, misfortune. an ex-
cepfional course Of act'on, but which
dots not touch the essential of trades
unionism.'
Pleads for Unity.
An urgent plea is made that the real
friends of labor shall stand together as
one man In the facs of the criticism
now directed at labor and its leaders
because Of the Mcnamara case. Mr..
Gompers reiterates the statement that
labor ives deceived in the McNamaras.
. But, says Gonpere, those Who sided
against the McNamaras-or against
labor?-knew no more and no less than
those who sided with them and were
deceived. ...
The president Of the American Feder~
alton Of Labor refers to criticisms Of
the federation and its officials in cer-
tain newspapers and also for a demand
in some quarters that there shall be
changes in the policies and officers OF
the federation.
The editorial declares that at no time
in the history of the labor movement
has organization been SO essential as

Dynamiting Cases

Gompers means what he says, he may
be given the opportunity to produce
his Records" was the only comment
made today by Federal Prosecutor Mil
Ter on the declaration Of the head OF
the American Federation of Labor
that the books and records OF the or
ganization are at the disposal of the
Federal probers.
Whether this means that certain rec
ords may be called for by the grand
jury here could net be learned.
The friction between the Federal and
county authorities was more acute to-
day as the result of clash between
County Prosecutor Boxer and r. J. Fos-
ter. q National Erectors' detective.
Baker appeared before Judge Marley
in county court to apologize for the in
cident which threw, the court into an
uproar late yesterday, when the prose-
cutor took Foster before the Judge, &C.
cused him Of shadowing him. and de-
manded that he be ordered from the
building, a demand which Marley
peremptprily refused.
! The charge is openly made today by
Federal investigators that strong poll
teal influences are at work to prevent
the connection between John ]. McNa-
mara, three other members Of the exc
cuttve committee Of the International
organization of the Bridge Workers, an
official of the American Federation Of
Labor, and a coterie Of politicians, be-
coming known. 1t is alleged that Nc
Namaras dynamiting operations were
known to these politicians, and that
they reaped financial harvest by pro-

wanted by the Government. and It de-
veloped today that since he has been in
San Quentin he has been approached
and again urged 20 tell all he knows.
1t is believed here that II Mcnamara
would agree to become q Government

The situation here was more intense
today than since the probe started, and
The Federal officials. while maintaining
strict secrecy. made it plain by their
attitude that they anticipate sensational
developments in the near future.
