The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1911-01-28

w seat ITOm us pTcSo+$t lOCdIioii
to the Village of Baraga, it is
only fair to at first examine into
the reasons alleged in the reso-
luton recently submitted to our
Board of Supervisors.
If the chairman of our County
Board of Jail Examiners has re-
ceived notice Of condemnation
from state officials, why has our
County Board of Supervisors al
lowed such an unsafe and un-
sanitary condition to continue !?
Why has not such an imminent
danger been attended to prompt
" and with an instant and due
regard for the safety of the peo-
pie? It is no new thing for jails
or other public buildings to re-
quire repairs, improvements and
even rebuilding, and surely such
a necessity can hardly be urged
as an excuse for moving the
county seat.
Our court house is no further
from the railroad depot than are
similar buildings in about every
county in the upper peninsula,
in fact no further than the pro-
posed new site in the village of
Baraga.
We emphatically DENY that the
railroad is to be abandoned, and
any such statement emanates
from an unreliable source. AS
to our county building being too
small, we would mention the
fact of there being an unused
room on the first floor and a
large attic that the Board of SUI
pervisors has from time to time
been respectfully asked to fix up
for a jury room, as an inexpen-
sive Improvement on what is
now in use. AS to the addition
al cost our county endures for
Office room, etc., we urge that
such an expense totals less than
any other county above the
straits.
The endangering of lives by
the presence of a wall about the
court house is a new one. If
such be imminent, why has our
county board permitted it to be-
come so
The reflection of retarding
progress and growth is most in
apt. Here is an outrageous in
stance where a few people desire
to build an expensive automobile
road for the principal benefit of
people who do not reside in our
county. No application or even
suggestion has been made to
L'Anse Township board that
such a road be built by the town
ship nor has any request been
made for a division of the town.
ship. Instead of discussing the
project with the people here, the
promoters of this rich mans
scheme for an expensive road
through territory HAVING NOT
A SINGLE SETTLER IN 1T,
propose to arbitrarily take from
L'Anse Township a large portion
of land by an illegal act Of the
Board of Supervisors. Our town
ship voluntarily offered to issue
bonds in the sum Of $25, 900, to
build necessary roads, NOT for
automobile owners, but in the
interests of the people and tax
payers. Please consider the
mileage Of new roads this town.
ship has opened in the last few
years, and in fairness you must
modify the unjust criticism.
The attorney for the promoters,
while attending the recent meet
ing of the county board, would
not assert that the board has 9
legal right to divide the town
ship. If such a project is a fair
one, why not take it to the
proper place for adjustment and
not try to force by main strength
what i not allowed by law.

Like Tarvia A, this requires heatinl for application. The use of the dense tarvia makes possible the placing Of larger stones near the surface thar would otherwise be possible. Engi- neers have long recognized the desir~ ability of using as large stone as pos sible at the surface, because 1arga stone is naturally capable of taking more wear than fine stone. Former ly, however, traffic would cause q continuous grinding and turning movement of the large stone so near the surface, just as it causes an old road to travel and break up when the protective carpet of surface screen ings has been worn away. When the tarvia binder is used. however, the large stone can be held firmly to it's work near the surface and much more service is thus obtained from the same amount of stone.
 Roads built with Tarvia X do not change contour even when neglected They require occasional inexpensive surface treatment to keep them smooth and dustless. Tarvia B is frequently used to good advantage to keep the surface in frst-class condi- ton.
 Large economies result from these methods and the road engineer finds that his roads winch without tarvfa would hardly stand automobile traffic for a year show almost no deteriora- ton during long periods In this pro- 1ongationl of the life of the road lies the real cheapne9S of the road pro- cesseS.
 By these various tarvia processes road engineers have found economi- cal methods of making their roads automobile proof and these processes are now practically standard among experienced road authorities.

Large Defense
 Fund Promised
Fellow COuntrymen of Accused Murderer Will Come to His Defense, it is Said

Compatriots of Demetris Hristos, the fruit peddler held for trial before the next term of the Superior. court on the charge of murder, expect that thousands of dollars will be amaSsed to secure the leading legal talent of the State to save Hristos from the galloWS.
 Hristos' friends in this city have re- ceived replies from cable dispatches to Albania, the section of European Turkey whence the young peddler came to this country, assuring them that there will be a large subscrip- ton to save young Hristos. The ac- cused man claims he shot in self-de- fence, that his victim, Dionis An dreas, who died almost instantly, was attacking him at the head of stair way at 8 Singer avenue, On the night of Aug 1, when he shot him through the heart.
 Attorney Abe Gedulding appeared for Hristos when he was ordered held for the Superior court, in the city court, last week. In the city court today the case of Pandelis Petris, alias Charles James, a cousin of the pris- oner, was continued for week. He was arrested the night of the shoot ing, and held on the technical charge of breach of the peace. It is alleged that Petris took from the murderer the pistol with which he slew Andreas and also shot Gaurias Athanisew. The latter is repairing rapidly at St. vincent's hospital. His wound was not regarded as serious.
 Petris is at liberty in bail of $20O He had no difficulty in securing the cash.
 All parties to the affray hail from Albania Most of the friends of the victim and the accused are laborers.

1911.
 | A shellac company put on the mar ket a specially denatured grain alco- hol brown glaze" This is a confec- tioner's shellac used largely in the penny candies consumed by children The Bureau of Chemistry procured and analysed a sample of the product, and discovered that it contained the poisonous wood. alcohol. The manu- lecturers of this vicious candy ingre-
 dent pleaded guilty and were fined $50 and costs.
 Wood alcohol produces death or
 blindness. Its poisonous character is well known. There is no justification for it's use in a food product. When greed impels a criminal to kill ani rob his victim the crime is pictur- esque, and punishment is usaully comm menSurate with the eXcltem ent
 which such a crime inspires; When the same motive, greed, impels food | maker to trifle with poisons and to disregard the laws of life and death
 in his reach for profit the picturesque element is not present. The crime is slow in action. The innocent looking candy could not under the most fan tastic sweep of imagination alright the soul or fill the mind with dread. Moreover, such candy as rule be- longs to the children's world, and par ents are quite familiar with the fact 1 that children are prone to bowel dis orders anyhow. The sick chid sug- gests no mystery. The illness is taken as matter of course. It is almost expected. Hence caution is usually
 forgotten, and when a particularly heinous food crime is committed it's story rarely gets out of the court room. Fifty dollars settles the whole affair. We need new laws providing for Imprisonment. Our duty to the child makes these laws imperative. A manufacturer put on the market here in New York a product labeled: Grown Glossine, with Chocolate

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Nations whose laws are fneiastfc and unchanging, nations which come to feel that man was made for the law. die in the cords with which they have wrapped themselves. What though the common law takes no cog nizance of woman as a political entf- ty? The common law is itself but the complied recognition of what were once new conditions and imminent tendencies Yet the anticipated trou- bles will probably not be so serious if we accept transitions as normal and do not attempt to check natural and sequent processes.
 Perhaps the most tenabie of all ob- iections to granting the ballot to wo- men, and one which leaves 1t some- thing of an open question whether de- lay would be wise, is based upon the mental qualifications of the sex. Un- doubtedly women are in considerable ignorance regarding the forms and purposes of governments. Yet it is asking a good deal of any one that he should interest himself minutely in a matter with which he is allowed no direct and efffcacious concern. And to bring up examples of vomen's ab- surb and impractical notions of polfti- cal affairs is no more reasonable than to quote against men the preposter- ous legislation daily suggested or car- ried through. It were as just to make light of the average intelligence of our nations fathers because, for ex- ample, Henry Clay held three years to be ample time for protection tc place the manufa ctures of the coun- try upon their feet.
 That which seems too little consid- cred is what men themselves will gain by having woman on an equal foot ing by making of her a peer. who must be judged as such. It will go far toward putting an end to that sense of privilege and exemption upon which woman falls back more and more as advancing society 1essens ths need of work and effort, making her a parasite a creature out of touch with the realities of toll and funda- mental things.-Gwendolen Overton, in the August number of The North American Review.

Progressives
 Ask For Direct
 Primaries Law

Alderman Eugene T. Meyer, presi- dent of the organization of progressive Republicans in Bridgeport, today mail ed a circular letter addressed to the Republican Senators and Representa- tives, asking them to vote for a direct primaries bill. The bill was passed by the Senate, but defeated in the House. It is now in the hands of a committee of conference of which Sen ator Judson is member.
 The letter says, in part: "Republi- cans ought to have the right to vote directly for the candidates they want, I mean the Republicans of the city especially, because to a large extent Republicans in the towns already have that privilege.
 'All town officers and representa- tives are nominated by direct vote, with the result that the nominations represent the desire of a majority of the Republicans voting in that town.
 AS Republicans with the interest Of our party at heart, we solicit your ap- proyal of the direct primary bill, ask ing you to be equal in judgment and patriotism to the Senators who voted for the bill.'

FOOD FRAUDS.
(N. '. Press.)

The subject of food frauds is not a matter of hySteria. It is serious, Eubtle, ,far-reaching conspiracy against EGovernment, in its limited capacity, ds locating new evidences of crime tevery day. Evidently the petty fines Imposed by the courts are not effec- hive in discouraging adulteration, and la significant feature of the Govern sment's seizures and prosecutions lies An the fact that nearly every label under which the convicted food 6rauds were sold bore the words FGuaranteed under the Pure Food and Drugs act of June 30, 1906"
 As late as July 15, 1911, notices of Judgment Nos. 964 and 972 were issued by the Government describing the revolting details of two confec- rtionery frauds and further revealing the extent to which adulteration is :practiced by some candy makers in this ''pure food' year of our Lord

KNOCKED OUT BY
 BLOW WITH BELT

Joseph Sabol, of Hollister Heights, employed at the Frank Miller Lumber Co.'S blaming mill was effectually knocked out just as he was finishing his days work, yesterday, and was throwing off a heavy five-inch belt from a double plain he was operat- ing.
 The belt broke and one of the ends hit him just beneath the left ear. He dropped like log. and remained un- conscious until Dr. Krause reached the mill in the ambulance After treatment at the emergency hospital Sabol was taken home in the ambu- lance

Flavor and Harmless Color" The Government reported on this case July Is, 1911. The Bureau of Chem lstry found arsenic in the preparation intended for the stomachs of children, and the manufacturer, in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York, en- tered plea of guilty, and was fined $2OO.
 The theme is sickening. One can with difficulty realize that to make a dollar human being could so far trespass against all that is sacred and resort to such peculiarly cruel and brutal commerce as this. The facts are just as related. They are of re- cent origin. The Government notices. signed by James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture. Nos. 964 and 972, dated July Is, 1911, tell the whole story.
 These notices of judgment, num- bering about one thousand, are not read by the people. Pity that they are not! The two instances recorded are mild when compared with hun dreds of others. That is why we want Wiley to stay where he is and fight That Is why we want his enemies punished. The whole intrigue against him is a blow aimed at pure foods and drugs, aimed at the home, aimed at the health of our people.
