Up in the regions of northern
Michigan where they pick up cop
per under the streets OF Calumet and
Houghton and still travel by the old
''bla2ed trail through great forests
of the finest Norway pine in the en-
tire north, there grew a congressman,
one Fl. Olin Young, who has hung to
his seat so long he has become inn
pressed with the idea of ownership,
In the election last fall VIM. j. Nc
Donald of Calumet, was candidate
and secured 243 more votes than
Young. He felt so good over the
event that he went over to Chicago
to celebrate at a herding of the
Moose. In one of the counties Me-
Donald's name was misspelled on the
ballots, and the startling news came
to him during the Chicago celebra-
ton that he wasn't to be congress-
man after all. The technicality arore
mentioned had been seized upon to
perpetuate the reign of YOUNG, who
was given the election certificate.

OF The case just before the next gem
eral election in Michigan. The beau

successful, the contestant draws the
salary and mileage for two years,
while the congressman who Is fired,

paid just the same as though he
really were entitled to receive the
salary, and there is no thought OF a
refund.

at promoting party harmony in his
own camp, but nothing delights the
ALBANIAN more than an opportunity
to blow the whistle and start the
steam roller In the direction of his
opponents There will be two NIL
nority leaders, Mr.. Mann of ILLINOIS
having been selected by the Repuh-
licans for Speaker, while the Pro-
gressives named MIR. Murdoch Of
Kansas. For over two years Mr.
Murdoch has served as a RepuDi-
can under Mr.. Mann, and though
their party organizations are now
different, 1t Is expected that there
there viii be good deal of co-opera-
ton, especially regarding the forth
coming tariff bills. Mann is regard
ed by those who have watched him
at close quarters, as a good deal of
wonder, and the chief of his op-
ponents, Speaker Clark, recently
gave his unstinted praise, declaring
him to be one of the greatest con
structive legislators in Congress for
many years" No legislation ever
catches Mann unprepared; he is a
horse to work" and in a pinch
has produced some of the most eff
fective filibusters that ever wor-
ried a majority into submission. The
regular Republicans" like him I'M
mensely, while the progressive Re
publicans" point to his record OH
the tariff and as a conservationist,
as well as the position he has taken
on dozen other things OF impor
lance, to prove that he belongs t.
them. Mann as leader Is the long
est, sharpest thorn that prods the
Democratic flesh. With his party
completely endorsed in the fedora
government, the wisdom that he can
bring to his leadership is the prin-
cipal hope of the shattered Repupli
can party.

We cannot receive all children who

is our desire to suit the child to the

partially pledged, but we desire to
find acceptable homes for all. Full
