MUNcAAusgN OUTCOME.

Often IN our perusal Of the metro
poltan press we ind mis-statements
conceruiug Calumet and the copper
country generally, but the most strik-
ing collection OF untruths We have yet
seen is contained in a clipping from
the Chicago Daily News, called To our
attention today by a subscriber. In
q few lines more lies are told about
Calumet than even the Baron Nun
chauseu could have accomplished had
he been given "a commission TO make a
record for presentations in so short
a space. Here it is headed "Calu-
met AN un-AmericaH city.
The story Of Calumet. in the north
ern peninsula Of Michigan, illustrates
the immigrants monopoly of the min
ing industry in America. II is a city
OF 5000 and almost as un-American

and their children who live by the cop

native born are the ones who have

named their settlement 'Houghton.
The only semblance Of truth that
can be recognized in this story OF
Calumet is the reference to the loca-
ton Of Calumet in the northern pen
insula Of Michigan Otherwise the
STORY takes the palm for deliberate
misrepresentation. It is too bad Cal.

this. No wonder strangers come here

is 10 prohibit the manufacture. sale

pared for the purpose of being filled
with tobacco for smoking. In COM
menting on the need FOR such an act,
Rep. Dunn said:
The present law against furnish

would be hard matter 10 carry il
out fully This bill is made as strict
as possible in order 10 stamp ont the
traffic altogether. so that there will
hot be the same difficulties in tho
way Of its enforcement"
The bill. if passed, would compel
adult cigarette smokers TO send out

'makin's," which would result in q
considerable loss TO Michigan dealers.
The law would hit the juvenile smok-
ers hard. however, and this is the real !

WOMEN FOOD INSPECTORS.

state Food and Dairy Commissioner
Helme has the right idea. He pur-
poses to employ women inspectors
plenty Of them. throughout the state
to bring about an even greater i'm
provement in the work of his depart
ment.
Women inspectors are needed.
Women are the ones most interested
in the best Of food and dairy condi.
lions because these things have to do
with the home. They know what food
should be and are in the best posi-
ton to take hold OF matters and seek
out the places where impure food is
made or sold. This sort of work
can be done by women better than by
men as they are by nature and exper~
fence better fitted for it.
Mr.. Helme will put his plan into eff
feet providing he can get the permis-
sion Of the legislature to employ in
spectors without bonds. This would
enable him to put many inspectors
into the field and make il warm for
all violators Of the pure food laws.

Head of Police puts One

Men While Guard
ing Prisoner

GENOA, Aug. 30.--Porter Charlton.
under escort OF Lieutenant Franchini
and Carbineer Rizzo OF the Italian
military police, was brought ashore
here today from the steamship Re
d'Italia.
After few hours in prison he was
hurried to Como. where he is to stand
trial for the murder of his wife, three
years ago.
The strictest measures Of precau-
tion were adopted to guard Charlton,
and by strategem the newspaper
correspondents and photographers
were prevented from approaching
him.
NEWSPAPER MEN MAROONED
The head Of the police invited the
newspaper men aboard his launch.
The invitation was eagerly accepted
in the belief that this would be a
good means to reach the prisoner. The
launch set out for the Re d'Italia, but
suddenly stopped in midstream. All
protests were unavailing, even when
some of the American reporters
threatened to take the matter UP with
the American authorities.
Charlton appeared In the gangway
supported on either side by Franchini
and Rizzo.
He was handcuffed for the first
time, but tried to conceal the fact by
the use of a waterproof, which was
folded over his hands. He was very
pale and kept biting his lips.
GREAT CROWDS GATHER
Instead of Marasso prison, whore a
great crowd had gathered he was
taken to the barracks of the cara
bineers.
The crowds then rushed to the bar
racks, but the gates were closed and
guarded. After a short Interrogation
by the captain OF the carabineers
Charlton was put on the 7:45 train
for Como.
Lieutenants Franchini and Rizzo
who had resumed their uniforms, still
acted as his guards.
