WHEN THE WAR ENDS

When the war ends, which it must
sometime, United States industry will
be dependent chiefly on its home mar
ket for business to give employment
to the millions of wage workers. Not
merely will there be a cessation OF
orders for guns and shrapnel and 9TH
er munitions of war, but there will be
a shifting of the war embargo on the
manufactures of Europe, which will
re-enter the American market in more
dangerous competition than ever I'M
less some barrier shall be interposed
An intimate and familiar example
for Philadelphia, says the Daily Bulle-
tin, is the hosiery and knit goods
industry, the local plants of which
are now enjoying a rush of orders
to meet the demands of local trade.
Every manufacturer and every buyer
in the trade knows, however, that this
condition is abnormal and that it
exists only because the great factories
of northern France and Belgium,
which under ordinary conditions ship
their products into the United States
at prices with which the American
manufacturer, paying the American
standard of wages and subject to
American laws, cannot compete, are
out of commission on account of the
war. And it is an equally simple
matter of appreciation that when the
war is over and the work of rehabili-
tation begins-which will not be diff
cult because the actual industrial de-
struction has been comparatively
small-these goods will again pour
into the United States and take away
the demand for home labor.

He Came Back

Lake Observation-Disclosures excite
ment was stirred here Tuesday when
it was found that William Mathews,
who went to Grand Rapids Monday to
consult doctor, had not returned. Mr..
Mathews, who is 20 years old, had
had considerable sum of
money when he left, and it
was feared that he might have been
robbed. Accordingly the police were
asked to locate him and did so We'd
nesday morning as he was about to
board train for home. He had been
unable to see the doctor when he ar
rived in the city, and had been COM
PEELED to wait until a more favorable
time. He returned with Nate Hast
ings, Frank Stuart and his grandson
Weight Mathews who had gone down
to look for him that morning.

GYPSY LEE

1t Is a perhaps general OPINION
that last year or two has seen an I'M
usual number of wandering characters
rowing about the country. Railroad
men say tramps are very numerous.
And bands of gypsies have become
more common.
1t was reported a few years ago
that a concerted effort would be made
by the European governments to drive
these wanderers out. No doubt the
war has created poor picking for them
across the water.
The tramp community is a lower
form of social organization. 1t is made
up of the dregs of the white races, of
men who have been failures and are
too INDECENT and irresponsible to feel
any social obligation. Its utter moral
collapse is shown by the fact that
there are so few women tramps. Even
the lowest forms of womanhood revolt
from il.
The gypsy tribes are composed of
certain distinct races that have al
ways maintained an identity of their
order are primitive, they maintain
family life and look after their own
children. who are often educated at
good schools. They often own real
estate, where they settle down until
the wanderlust comes over them.
There have been many bright men
among these gypsy tribes, who dis
play business ability. As fortune tell
ers they are wonderful readers of the
human face. AS horse traders few
men beat them. Probably it is here
that they make most of their living.
There are great many men who feel
illimitable confidence in their ability
to value horse flesh, that is not de-
stroyed by many disappointments.
The lonely farm house does not wei
come the gypsies with their black
looks and swarthy faces. AS the coun-
try settles up, these people have less
and less patience with wandering ele-
ments. Moved on rapidly by the pol
ice from town to town, their life can
not be as poetic as imaginative people
think. Probably in time most of them
viii settle down to settled residence.
The sentiment against liquor and
the liquor traffic has become so strong
in this country that liquor advertise
ments were barred from publication
in college newspapers Of the United
States by the Associated College
Newspaper Publishers convention
held at Columbia University, New
York City, August q.

HUNTERS SHOULD
Be ON GUARD TO
KEEP GAME LAW
CONTINUED from Page One)

NSOHllHuSu ITOUu L age OItJ
1. Does the hunters license under
this new law authorize him to hunt on
any property regardless of the own
er's wishes?
2. If property owner invite
friends to hunt on his property by
what right does the state require a
license?
In reply to your first inquiry, l
would say that the possession Of a Ii
cense under the game law does not en-
title a hu:.--r to trespass upon the
lands of another. Such license mere
ly authorizes its possessor to take
game in places where he is entitled
to hunt. Stated Somewhat different
ly such a license confers the right TO
hunt game in accordance with the
laws of the state but does not confer
the right to interfere in any way with
the property of another without per-
mission.
1t is the underlying theory of all
legislation enacted for the perserva-
ton of game and fish, or in any way
regulating the taking thereof, that
the title thereto is in the people of
the State; in other words, the people
of the State are deemed to be the own
ers of all game and fish within the Ii
mits of the state. Accordingly such
game as may be found on the land
of any individual cannot be regarded
as the property of the owner of such
land, or as subject to be disposed of

Weather Very Warm

After the numerous storms have
visited this section and heavy rains
have fallen almost daily for the past
two weeks the skies are apparently
clearing for a period of more settled
weather. Sunday, Monday and Tues
day the temperature was almost un-
bearable. The sultry condition of the
atmosphere made it next to impos-
sible for laborers to continue their
work. Those who had inside work
felt draggy and lack of energy to
accomplish any arduous task.
Today the temperature has lowered
considerably and more seasonable
weather is expected. The hottest
weather of the summer has been fea-
tured within the week.

Muir Adopts Sneed Law

At the regular meeting Of the Muir
village board held Tuesday evening.
last, the speed limit of 10 miles per
hour as adopted by the state was
made effective in the village and an
ordinance to that effect was drawn and
entered upon the village books. 1t is
hoped this will do away with some of
the reckless driving that has been toll
Grated in the past. Signs reading "15
miles per hour" will be posted at the
corporation line on the three main
roads running into town. A sign

HOW PROSPERITY is UNDER
MINED

A Tariff law that teaches Americans
to buy European goods weakens the
foundations of permanent prosperity
in the United States. If Americans
made all goods bought by Americans
there would be no need to turn to the
export business for relief from war
depression. If the union were COM
plete, financially and commercially,
the United States and Latin America
could laugh at the threats of the war
riors Of Europe.
There is less need of Tariff Protec-
ton against South and Central Amer
lea than against any European coun-
try, because the products of Latin
America seldom compete with those
of the United States and the wage

as such owner sees fit. In accordance
with the theory above suggested, the
people of the State have the right to
say that such game shall not be taken
at all. or that it may be taken SUBJ
ject to prescribed conditions and reg
ulations. The courts of this State
as we'll as the courts of every other
state in the Union, have repeatedly
recognized and upheld this theory. In
view of the decisions along this line,
it occurs to me that the constitution
atty of such legislation is scarcely
open for attack. These suggestions
| believe, answer your second in
curry. Respectfully yours,
Grant Fellows,
Attorney General.

INTEREST IN WELFARE OF CITY

One Of the healthy symptoms OF the
times is the interest that certain cities
in different parts of the country are
taking in the welfare of the people at
large. Better sanitary conditions are
being secured, public entertainments
are being provided and a general in
terest is awakened on the part of cit
liens in the affairs of the cities. This
is an indication of progress and it is
hoped that nothing will occur to pre-
vent the carrying out of the plans.
The time is coming when the city will
have to look after the welfare of the
people in every way, and this expense,
while it will be considerable, will be
repaid many times by the higher
grade of citizenship that will be de-
veloped by the process. The city is
in reality a great family, and city Off
Gals will in the future exercise more
paternal authority over the citizens
whom they represent.

CAUTION TO THE SMALL INyES
TOR

The collapse of several important
railroad systems in the United States
should be lesson to people with small
fortunes TO invest. There is many a
case today where the only security of
little home has been the regular div
idend turning up every three months.
When that cheerful messenger of COM
fort is turned into its ominous oppo-
site, an assessment on stock, the per-
son who suffers learns lifelong les
son. But many others Of the same
type of people keep on putting money
into equally hazardous enterprises.
Like people who are called "land
poor" their properly may be so blank
eted by mortgages and debts that lot
of money must be collected and laid
out if the property is ever to be put
on a paying basis.
When corporation is distributing
securities over a wide area to the gen.
eral public, it would promote sound
finance and confidence in the company
if it would issue bonds and stock in
somewhere nearly equal proportions.
Something in the neighborhood Of a
half Of the property ought to be repre-
sented by bonds which the stockhold-
ers agree to pay before receiving any
thing for their property. Then the
rest of the capitalization can be is
sued in stock, which may be taken up
properly only by people of some veal
tn or experience in finance, and who
can afford to lose if the property goes
wrong.
There is always tendency to issue
too large part of capitalization in
the form of bonds. Realizing that the
public regards bonds as safer than
stock, many companies get around this
difficulty by issuing the great bulk of
with capital in the form Of bonds, and
with only a small quantity of stock.
You cannot make a security safe
merely by calling it bond. The eau
tious investor should carefully inquire
whether the proportion of bonds to the
value of the remaining property is alb
normal and top-heavy.

AMERICAS TRUE GREATNESS

Americans are the greatest phllan-
thropists in history. During the last
year Europe has been deluged by a
tornado of blood, but America has
been flooded with gifts of gold. Eu-
rope, staggering beneath it's burden
of hate, has fallen down on the stair
way Of progress; but America with
a passion for human service has
made bright her way by her lavish
gifts of wealth and love.
Wealthy Americans gave away
during 1914 to educational and chart
table institutions $4,000, 000-al-
most twice the amount given in 1913.
Eighteen different Americans be-
queathed sums ranging from one mil
lion to sixteen million dollars. While
Europe's surplus wealth has been de-
voted to training and equipping men
to slaughter efficiently, Americas
millions have been devoted to feeding
the poor, clothing the naked, healing
the sick and enlightening the minds
of men, and the largest, but one, of
these gifts was bequeathed anony-
mously. This "aged millionaire" ask
no other pleasure than the joy of CIV
ing. Emerson says, "A great man is
always willing to be little"
John ID. Rockefeller gave total of
$5,802,908. His largest requests were
$3,500,000 to the Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research and $1,019,908
to the University of Chicago. Andrew
Carnegie gave 100000 to Interna-
tional propaganda. Edwin CHM, the
Boston publisher, bequeathed another
million for the same work. Francis
A. Odgen, a Texan, bequeathed his en-
tire estate, valued at several millions,
to the education of the children in
rural communities. Others bequeath-
ed their millions to building hospitals
and improving the conditions of the
poor. A grand total of more than
S75,000,000 was left to the colleges.
King-ridden, hate-denied Europe is
reaping the chaos and agony of war;
but money-making, service-aspiring
America is achieving true grandeur.
Carlyle was right: "Oh, it is great
and there is no other geratness-to
make one nook of Gods creation more
fruitful, better, more worthy of God;
to make some human heart a little
wiser, manlier, happier-more bless
ed. less accursed."
