AN AMERICAN RESURRECTION.

The unusual spectacle or American
citizens in Instruction against legal
lied authority is witnessed at Calumet,
Mich. where $4,000 people paraded
the town and passed resolutions
charging the courts and prosecutors
with contributing TO the crime and
disorder resulting from the protracted
strike in the mines.
The demonstration was made under
the direction OF the Citizens alliance.
an organization Of business men and
citizens not associated with the mining
industry whose interests have been
demoralized by the protracted strike
and whose lives and property are
jeopardized by the prevailing lawless-
ness.
A condition almost amounting to
anarchy prevails. The circuit court Ia
declared TO have failed to protect the
public welfare and the justices courts
are accused Of having inflicted made
quate punishments for violations Of
the law and accepted inadequate bail.
The inference Is that the courts and
the prosecuting attorney are playing
the miners as faVorltes Tor ponucal
effect
IT is claimed the assistant prosecu-
tor has sufficient evidence TO indict
every strike leader in the district and
the resolutions adopted by the alliance
ask the governor 10 remove the pros
ecutor and put the assistant prosecu-
tor in his place. BY this means, il IS
urged. crime may be stopped and
order restored. The alliance made no
attempt 10 interfere between the
strikers and the mine operators but
sought only 10 suppress lawlessness
and protect life and property.
The situation in Calumet and "
cinity seemed TO justify the uprising OF
the people A number OF murders
have been committed and general law
lessness prevails.

THE APPOINTMENTS.

The appointments to places in the
new administration. which have been
awaited with interest as the first index
as to the kind OF administration South
Bend Is to expect under the citizens
auspices. is on the whole disappoint-
ing
me men named do not measure up
as strong as was TO be expected from
the material at hand.
Perhaps in q movement as heterO-
geneous as the citizens party, and in
Guiding so many factions. it was TO be
expected that each name as proposed
would meet warm criticism from those
OF Mr.. Keller's advisors who belonged
20 some other faction. until at the end
the strongest men in each faction
were eliminated and those only re-
manned against whom there was little
10 be said.
II is a question whether the citizens
party has put its best foot forward.
The selection OF Seebirt as city at
torney is a good one. however. Seebirt
is a good lawyer and his appointment
Is a fitting recognition to the old line
republicans who helped the citizens
party victory.
Manning's appointment as control
Ter may not arouse wide enthusiasm.
but Manning will doubtless make a
good official His training at the
Chamber OF Commerce should give
him a good knowledge of men and
measures, and OF the duties OF the
office.
Rice is active in civic movements
and acquainted with the city's needs.
Weber is an honest, earnest business
man Morris. however. must have
been named purely for political rea-
sons and the whole board looks rather
weak as a result considering the i'm
portance Of it's duties.
Augustine on the safety board is a
substantial citizen. as are Smogor and
Sen. Hibberd. but it isn't hard 10 fore
cast that the personnel of the board
Will not awaken any general acclaim.
Mayor Elect Keller, however. has
done a wise thing 20 include on his
health board a woman. Miss Monica
Makielski. and especially one with
Miss Makielskfs first hand knowledge
OF conditions in South Bend as to
health and sanitation. The physicians
chosen with her on the board are men
interested in matters Of public health
and should give good service.
One general criticism that the ap-
pointments will meet is that Mayor
Elect Keller seems TO have overlooked
the sDirft OF the law recurring bi-par-
tisan membership of the safety and
public works boards With the pos
sible exception OF SmOgor all OF them
were active members OF the citizens
party at the last campaign.

DISTRIBUTION OF ROAD FUNDS

Under the new automobile tag law
it is estimated that $25O,0OO, less the
cost of administration, will be dis
tributed among the counties of the
state.
The law provides that the fund shall
be divided into three equal install
ments. The first is TO be shared
equally by the counties. the second is
to be divided in proportion to the
number of miles OF gravel roads in
each county, and the third division
will be based on the number of auto
mobiles in each.
The first impression is that Unequal
tiles are inevitable under the plan OF
distribution. For example on the first
division Brown county. with one auto
mobile and two motorcycles. will re-
ceive as much as st. Joseph county
with it's hundreds OF machines. On
the second there is an apparent incon-
sistency giving the largest shares to
the counties having the greatest num-
Der Of miles of gravel roads, and again
on the third, as though with a view to
equalization, the division is made on
the basis of the number OF automobiles
and motorcycles.
The purpose of the tax on motor
vehicles being the creation of a fund
for the construction and maintenance
Of roads II would appear that better
plan would be a distribution based on
the road needs of the several counties.
On the contrary the law discriminates
against counties having poor roads and
in favor of those registering the larger
number of machines.
Automobiles being vehicles Of wide
range the state plan Of road building
should correspond. The money should
be expended where it is most needed.

SECOND YEAR OF

You think what?" Warren put
down his cup and glared across the
table. Helen's mother had finished
and they were alone.
Il think L shall take Winifred and
go home with mother for a visit, "
Helen repeated, quietly.
And when did you decide on that p
Last night, when you left me alone
on the street"
"Oh, l see," and he resumed his
breakfast in grim silence. 1t was this
silence that always disconnected Helen.
Whatever the circumstances it always
made her feel that she was in the
wrong.
Since we find it so difficult to get
along together. don't you think that
for me to go away for a while might
be best for us both?"
Il suppose your mother suggested
this?''
Mother invited me to go home with
her. Why shouldn't she? Is there
anything unusual in that? L haven
been home since we married.
Again the grim silence.
Surely Warren, when we've reach
ed the point where you get in such a
rage that you walk off and leave me
alone on the street, don't you think it's
time we were separated for while?"
''Oh, That's It?" He Asked

TRUST LEGISLATION.

With the tariff disposed of and cur
rency legislation approaching con-
summation the president has turned
his attention 20 the trusts. His object
is TO draw definite lines between rea-
sonable and unreasonable competition
and relieve the courts OF the burden
OF constituting laws which are eRvel-
oped IN an expansive twilight zone.
The legislation desired viii define
the various forms OF monopoly and
restraint OF trade which would be
conclusively deemed unreasonable and
IN violation OF law. IL Will place the
burden OF proof upon the defendant
prohibit interlOcking directorates and
establish an interstate trade cossimis-

sion. II will be based upon the lines
Of the Lenroot-LaFollette bill and the
Newlands interstate trade commission
bill.
The general principles OF these bills
harmonic with Pres. Wilson's policy
toward the trusts, which is designed TO
supply the deficiencies of the Sherman
antitrust law. Whether as now
drawn they will be regarded as amply
covering the ground will be determ-
ined by conferences with the attorney
general and members Of the senate
and house. which have been in prog
ress for several weeks and will be con-
tinued until the proposed legislation
is framed to the satisfaction OF the
president.
II Is hoped to have a law passed
that will take the joker out of trust
prosecutions and accomplish some
thing more than changing the form
without altering the character of
monopolistic trusts; in other words, TO
that it will not be a menace to small
business, and to check the prevailing
tendency TO Capitalization.
Pres Wilson is sincere in his desire
to accomplish something along this
line that will have a permanent re-
straining influence on trusts and re-
duce them 10 reasonable basis with
out depending upon the varying con-
structions placed by courts on what
is reasonable and what is not.

Wreck Investigation.

Editor the MissoUrian The Inter
state Commerce Commission will in
yegtigate the wreck which occurred on
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad near
Buckatunna, Miss. That will not bring
life 70 the twenty soldiers that were
killed nor will It grow any skin on the
$50 whe were injured. The inyestiga-
tion should be made and the railroad
company should he held responsible
but the investigation would not be
necessary, now, and the twenty sold
ierg probably would be alive, if an in
gpection had been made before the
trestle fell.
Rigid inspection OF bridges and
equipment will do away with great
many railway wrecks. There is a
high trestle on a Missouri railroad
which has been condemned, according
TO train crews. The railroad contin-
ues to operate trains over it. Wyh

tie before it falls? An ounce of in
