One Of the most interesting social
affairs of the autumn season was Civ
en- Monday evening at the X. Of p.
hall by Mrs. Edna Kelly, in compli-
ment to her charming daughter, Miss
Ruth.
The immediate occasion Of the party
was to celebrate the birthday of the
guest of honor. About fifty of Miss
Kelly's young friends assisted in max
ing the evening one full of enjoyment
and fun. Dancing in all its newest
steps was the form of entertainment
and needless to say the music fur
nished by Miss Lillian Coll and Mr..
Butler was of the finest.
The color scheme of the decorations
was in harmony with the autumn
scenery of out of doors, corn stalks,
pumpkins, and the colors typical Of
Halloween, orange and black, were
blended into pretty picture.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL
INITIATIVE.

The Constitutional provision rela-
tive to amendments by initiatory petit
ton was only secured after years of
effort in the hope and promise that it
would be a safeguard to the liberties
of the people of the state.
The state is obliged pext Tuesday
to pass by popular vote on a proposal
that is not only vicious and obviously
framed in behalf of special interests
but that is spaciously drafted so as to
surpass the worst known attempt to
smuggle a trickish joker through a
Legislature. The proposed amendment
about applying the initiative, refer
endum and recall to fraternai insur-
ance societies, which ostensibly pur-
ports to extend these reforms" to Sc
cret orders, III reality would destroy
some of the lodges, drive others from
the state and seriously cripple the
beneficial work all are doing. This,
the first attempt to employ the init
ative would tend to fasten upon the
state law that nobody would dare
seriously to present to a legislative
body for enactment. Instead of pro-
tecting us from legislative inertia, the
promoters of the scheme seek to de-
ceive US into forging our own shackIes.
Other states which do not permit
constitutional amendments to be init
lated by popular petition are undoubt-
eddy watching those states which have
adopted this advanced step in popu-
lar government, and if it develops that
the people of Michigan give even a
substantial support to such a mani
testify unsound proposition, it will tend
to retard progress in popular govern
ment throughout the nation. For this
reason alone the people of the state
should defeat this proposal so over
whelmingly that it will be thoroughly
demonstrated that the people really
can legislate directly for themselves
as well as through their Legislative
bodies.

ceeded in applying the burden and the
loss he brought about TO some other
Michigan communities and to some
other Michigan industries.
Doremus claims to have defended
some industries of his own district
against the disaster wrought by his
own party, and he points to this SER
vice as reason why Republican votes
should be given for Democratic con-
gresham.
And just that sort of appeal applies
at this time to every Democratic can
didate soliciting Republican support
in Michigan.
Governor Ferris forgot his promise
of economy and put upon the state
the greatest tax burden ever created
in Michigan's history.
He violated completely his promises
of partisanship and appointed
only Democrats to office, even in Re-
publican counties where the vacancies
were temporary.
And, as is now declared by Demo-
cratic leaders, Ferris forgot and dis
regarded every personal friend who
had assisted in his first nomination
and gave his favor and support en-
tirely to a group of persons whom
he had himself referred to as "vote-
swapping political highbinders."
And these are the records on which
Doremus the Congressman and Fer

A STARTLING DEMOCRATIC ADMISSION
Secretary Redfed Officially Admits Democratic Tariff Has Transferred Our
Lumber and Single Industry Canada

as compared with 7S,159,S25 for the
corresponding periods of 1912 and
1913.
Practically the entire output of the
British Columbia single mills is now
exported TO the United States, the
industrial depression prevailing in
Canada during the past year having
seriously affected building operations
in the western Provinces.
"There are 43 lumber mills in Brit
ish Columbia with a daily capacity of
2,S26,000 feet b. m. The maximum
output Of an individual plant is
100000 feet and the minimum 10000
feet per day of 10 hours. American
capital is interested in of the AZ
mills, the total daily capacity of which
is $4,000.
"The lumber exports to the United
States invoiced through this consulate
general during the December quar-
ter, 1912, were 2O5,724 feet, and for
the last quarter of 1913 the exports
amounted to 1,703,534 feet, an in

last quarter of 1912 and the first half
of 1913 were 1861 100, as compared
with 12,030,799 for the last quarter
of 1913 and the first half of the year
1914, an increase of 10,169,799. The
total exports to the United States for
the year 1912 amounted to 1,009.123
feet; the total for 1913 was 4,1S6,600
feet, and for the first six months of
1914 the shipments invoiced through
this consulate general show a total
of 10,327 ,265 feet-nearly ten times
more than for the entire year of 1912,
and approximately two and .one-half
times more than during the IL months
of last year.
There is little demand for lum-
Der in western Canada at this time,
owing to the depression in the build
ing trade, and the millmen are depend
ing largely upon the market in the
United States for an outlet for their
products"

istration closed he left in the state
treasury $1,178,9 1884. And yet with
this handicap of S1,S2S, 9S9.54 to
meet the debt of a former administra-
ton and to prove good working capital
for the administration which was to
follow him, Governor Osborn's total
appropriations were almost three mil
lion dollars less than the appropria-
tions approved by Governor Ferris.
And Governor Osborn, if elected
again, promises the same economy
and the same care in behalf of the
taxpayers of Michigan that he gave
before.
Mr. Ferris publicly declares that he
accepted legislative COMMITTEES re-
ports and committee Investigations as
the only reason for attaching his sig
nature to huge appropriation bills. And
he will do the same again, he says, if
elected as a Democratic Governor by
Republican votes.
Mr.. Ferris talked much about
economy when he was a candidate
two years ago, and said it was "a
mystery to him why any one should
forget the Importance of economy
when he became the hired man of the
state"
And yet he did forget the impor-
lance Of economy and surrendered TO
others one of the highest duties the
Governor pOssesses-that of deciding
as to the withdrawal Of public money
from the state treasury
And because of fattery and prom
Uses made to him by those he then
directly favored, Mr. Ferris now says
that if elected at the coming election
he will do again just as ne did before.
With this outlook before them and
with the power Of decision yet within
their own hands, the voters of Michi-
gan can decide on Tuesday of next
week, November 3rd, as to whether
or not Mr.. Ferris will be given tile
opportunity of "doing again just as
he did before."

THEY BURDENED THE STATE
THEY NOW SEEK FAVOR FROM

Near the business center of the city
of Detroit there is at this time huge
painted sign bearing these words:
"Vote for Doremus, the Defender of
Detroit's Industries" and this, very
extraordinary explanation goes with
this big lettered appeal.
Congressman Doremus is the chair
man of the Democratic congressional
committee. He is therefore presumed
to have more influence in congress
sional circles than the average con-
gresham.
When it was recently proposed
through Democratic legislation to APP
ply special tax on the automobile
industries that would probably have
put some of the factories out Of ex-
istence, Congressman Doremus is
credited with having begged that some
industries elsewhere in Michigan be
selected to bear the burden of the
special tax he had created.
This entire special tax requirement
was of Democratic origin. The enor-
nous appropriations that made it
necessary were compelled through
Congressman Doremus' cooperation.
II was directly brought about through
the party politics he assisted and
through the tariff changes he had fav-
ored.
But now he asks for reelection from
the voters Of Detroit because he sue

No lesser authority than William G.
Redfeld, Democratic Secretary Of
Commerce, and the tariff expert of his
party, has come forward to confirm
Republican claims made during the
debate on the Underwood tariff bill
that free shingles and free lumber
would transfer both industries to
Canada.
Practically all of the big lumber
mills in the State Of Washington are
now closed down, as are the single
factories, and approximately 100000
persons, inclusive of families of mill
employees, are feeling the pinch of
poverty. In other lumber states the
situation is identical. 1t will be re-
called that the Underwood law re-
moves all of the duty which formerly
protected these industries from the
cheap Japanese and Hindu labor Of
Canada.
In the daily Consular report of Dc
tober 10, issued from Secretary Red
fields Office, there appears the follow
ing significant report from the Unit
ed States consul-general at Van
couver, British Columbia:
Invoices covering shipments Of
shingles from British Columbia to the
United States certified through this
consulate general show a large in
crease in the exports during the past
year. The exports from Vancouver
to the United States for the first
three quarters of 1913 were 53,569, sos,
as compared with 64,994,647 for the
corresponding period of the previous
year. The exports during the last
three months Of 1913 were 90,899,865
shingles, as compared with 24,590, 1920
for the corresponding period of 1912.
The exports for the first six months
of 1914 were 1854, O35, as compared
with 144,469, $40 for the entire ~
months of 1913. The shipments of
shingles from this port TO the States
for the last quarter of 1913 and the
first half of 1914, covering the three
quarter, show a total of 404, 300,
