PRESIDENT ELIOT DECLINES
Will Not Serve United States at
Court Of ST. James.

Cambridge, Mass, March "a. = Dr
Charles w. Eliot in an interview
said: 'Tt is true that have declined
the position of British ambassador
My years had nothing whatever to do
with my refusal to serve abroad"
Mr.. Eliot's nnwillingness to take
upon himself the duties Of ambassa
dor are probably based upon the fact
that he and Mrs. Eliot desire to spend
the remaining years OF their life at
home. While leading a rather active
life. the doctor has lived simply and
unostentatiously.

The sufsragists who are growing
about the right to vote being given to
the women Of China, know as much
about the matter as they do of the
government of this country. The right
to vote has been given to Chinese
women who own property, and who
can read and write. Very few women
own property in China, and few, other
than the aristocratic women of China
can read and write: Yet, Rev. Anna
Shaw says she wishes she was born
with a queue!

Socialism and Single
Tax Zealots Will
Gain by "Votes
For Women"

Socialism and Single Tax
stares the farmer of Michigan
In the face when he votes for
woman's suffrage on Tuesday,
November s.
Why?
Go to the cities of Grand Rap
ids, Flint, Bay City, Detroit,
for the answer.
There you will see and hear
women Socialists making cam
paign arguments on the street
corners. You will find that the
wives, daughters and mothers
OF Socialists are as active as
the male Socialist, who is &C.
lively urging the ballot for wo-
men.
Because the sturdy farmer
and the conservative business
man stand shoulder to shoulder
against Socialism. community
ownership Of property. The So
cialists are confined to the
cities, who's - oters will soon
outnumber L. voters in the
farming communities.
Votes for women will treble
the Socialist vote and the So
cialist women will get out and
vote.
Then look out for the Single
Tax which will be used by the
Socialist to tax the farmer out
of existence, forcing him to turn
his farm over to the state and
thus make possible the Socialist
program, Let the state own ali
the productive property and
operate it for the benefit of all
the people. This will put an
end to landlordism and capital
ism. The earth was made for
ALL the people and no one man
has any exclusive right to the
ownership of any piece of
land"
Do YOU want Socialism?
Look to Flint where a Socialist
was elected mayor and seven
other Socialists were elected
aldermen. 1t required a combi-
nation of Republican and Demo
cratic parties to defeat them for
reelection. If the women had
the vote, even their combination
could not have beaten the So
cialists, whose women folk are
as Jealous about voting as are
the men while the wives of their
opponents would not leave their
homes and children to dabbie in
politics.
Votes for women mean Social
ism and Single Tax.

Total 4.

Total ..................$ 9S.75
$9S.75 minus $9100 equals $7.75 or
cost of shredded slower. Since two
tons Of slower are produced on an acre,
and twenty-five acres are shredded,
fifty tons of shredded slower are Sc
cured. AS S7.75 was the cost of the
shredded slower, the expense Of doing
the work with machine when dis
tributed amounts to approximately
16 cents per ton more than the cost of
husking by hand and of stacking the
corn stalks. Besides less space is re-
quired for storing the shredded slower.
There Is practically no loss or waste
Of leaves or husks, and the stalks are
in an excellent condition for bedding.
They not only act as an absorbent, a
pound Of absorbent slower absorbing
2.5 pound Of liquid, but the vegetable
matter when returned to the soil
forms humus. The fertilizing value
of the stalks harvested on an acre are
worth about $500, or about $17eO0
worth of fertilizer can be returned IN
the field.

MOVING PICTURE
MEN MAKE PROTEST
Say Proposed State Board of
Censorship Is Entirely
Unnecessary

Moving picture men OF Michigan
will fgnt the bill introduced by Sen
ator Rosenkranz, OF Shiawassee coun-
ty, providing for a state board OF
censorship, consisting OF one man at
81, 500 and one woman at 81 1000, to
pass on all pictures that are TO be
exhibited in the state, at fee OF
$3.50 per picture
Lester Levey, secretary OF the or
Aanization OF Detroit motion picture
men, teiegrapned President >-eff, OF
the National Board OF Exhibitors,
asking for help in defeating the bill.
He received the reply that a commit
tee would probably be sent TO Lam
sing 10 lobby against the measure.
A. w. BlankmeyGr, OF the Detroit
Universal Film Co., says: The De-
troit police department gives US very
efficient censorship, and passes on 90
por cent OF the films exhibited In
Michigan. The other 10 per cent
come from Chicago, and are censored
there with even greater strictness
than is exercised in Detroit. There
Is no need OF a state censorship. 4
fee of $3.50 is exorbitant. The board
of censors in Chicago charges only
90 cents per picture. Everything ex.
iibited in Detroit is passed by the
national board OF censorship in New
York, besides being censored here

Just plain police persecution says
Harry Strauss man of many aliases

Mr.. StrauS is blond, genial. under
sized and 80 years old, and the
specially which he was working
here and which caused his arrest by
Detectives Parker and Allen, Wednes
day afternoon, was the endeavor to
take the savings of a lot OF 17-year-old
kids who answered the following

Straus, IL he should deposit $50. That
was also nipped by the officers.
Straus had only 81 when arrested.
which seems to indicate that tho
watchful officers got to him" in time.
Detective Frank Wilkinson greeted
3traus like an old friend, when
Straus was taken to headquarters.
Wilkinson Is deSe student OF pic
ture books, and he never forgets the
pictures.
Straus was raving about the way
that business men we're dragged
around by the Detroit police when
Wilkinson sauntered up to him, look
ed him over. and said: I've got your
picture in n uniform"
Mr.. Straus paled trifie, and then
clustered some more.
Wilkinson came back with not only
one picture. but several, printed In
THE Detective police magazine.
Straus. in 1908. went under the

around in uniform. and served a year

ELEVATOR BUILDER
HAS GRIEVANCE
J. X. Kissane Claims He's Dis
eliminated Against by In
spector O'Reilly

J. F. Kissane, No. 229 Maybury
Grand-ave., a builder OF elevators,
complained to Building Inspector Du.
port. Wednesday, that I. ]. O'Reilly,
elevator inspector, was unjustly dis
eliminating against him because OF a
grievance arising from personal mat
tiers.
O'Reilly ordered safety appliances
on an elevator In the building at No.
PSI Gratiot-ave., where Sol herman
conducts a clothing store. The APP
planes were those called for In the
building code. The elevator was in
stalled before the code was enacted,
and Kissane claimed that IL was Of a
type which would not permit the in
stallation OF the appliances as speci-
fed in the code. He was about to
equip the elevator with another safe
ty device, but O'Reilly stopped the
work.
Dupont sustained Kissane, but as
sured him that after the device was
installed the elevator must be proven
safe by test, and that unless IL could
stop ITSELF" new elevator would
have 10 be Installed Regarding the
charges OF unfairness Dupont decided
to appoint an expert elevator man TO
examine the elevator unknown TO
either Kissane or O'Reilly and give
an opinion az 10 whether the elevator
could be made safe with the appliance
