the Senator. Mob action is absolute

impossible under the recall. because
the recall cannot be invoked until

THAT OLD ROLLER TOWEL.

Along with the chestnut bell, the
prickly music box and the high
wheeled bicycle. the roller towel is
growing obsolete. Several cities have
passed ordinances barring the roller
towel from restaurants and hotels and
other public places. and the crusade
has been particularly insistent in Chi.
cago.
The roller towel Is an Institution OF
long standing, but there is not word
to be said In favor OF 1t from any
viewpoint. 1t has been the bane OF
the travelling mans existence for
many years, for there is not a small
town hotel in America that hasn't
had three roller towels hung up in a
row In the washroom. These towels
were generally put up clean on Mon
day morning. and the first three men
to patronize the Mushroom on that
day had no complaint to make. Along
toward Tuesday It be came necessary
to give the towel three whirls before
finding a place that was not damp and
discolored and when Saturday arrived
the whirl. Of the roller towels in the
Mushroom drowned out all other
sounds In the hotel and made It pos:
slble for the street cars to pass by
outside without being heard. The
constant whlrling of the towels kept
guests awake nearly all night.
With the exception Of the 81 bill,
1t, is probable that there Is no more
persistent microbe spreader in the
world than the old roller towel. 1t is
very satisfactory to note that the larg.
er cities are placing It upon the black
list and intend to keep 1t there. 1t Is
the plain duty OF the next legislature
to make the ban general In Michigan.
