 But 3S0 Protestants joined with La- peers 31 Catholic voters and gave the Michigan city of 4,000 the first Am> erican Catholic priest-mayor. And now Lapeer is well satisfied with it's mayor-he has certainly made good.
 He has proved to the more fussy Lapeerites that a man may be a good city executive and a good Catholic priest at the same time. Father Dun igan has been mayor at the city hall and priest at the church.
 He is also organizer of Lapeers commercial club, chairman of it's exc cutive committee, and chaplain of the Second regiment, Michigan National Guards
 In the military camp Father Duni- gan is respected and loved as a big, hearty, sympathetic, red-blooded man, always is He cares for his own horse; pitches his own tent; fills his own lamp, makes his own bed; splits his own wood and asks no favors from anybody When the regiment went into camp this summer he tra- veled with his horse in a freight car, refusing the services of private That's why he is the most popular man in the "Second.''
 Citizens subscribed $6,000 unsolicit- ed to pay off a debt on Father Duni- loud in their praises of him as a priest; his soldiers couldn't be pried away from him with a battle-ax; and the rest of the Lapeerites are sure he's the best mayor they ever had.

The recent forcible lesson taught the newspapers of Arkansas through
 the poer system of getting quick and accurate returns from polling places ough to bring about united efforts to better condit ons for the future. There ought to be some remedy for the slowness of reporting returns that characterizes each succeeding elec- tion ill this state. The newspapers have exhausted their every resourca to give the, public qu.ck service in this line, but without cooperation and eff ficiency in counting and reporting election returns little can be accom- plisaed to relieve a suffering public.
