II Pays to Be q Booster
Of Detr0it's Prosperity

II may have been the late ]. P.
Morgan, It may have been someone else,
who said that in specializing on the
future Of America, there was only one
q aide Of the market to play-the bull side.
A similar remark might be made
4 about Detroit at the present moment.
There are few cities in the world, per-
haps none with such distinctive street.
plan Is Detroit's, which, revisited after
\ m absence of 80 years, are found
Y changed to such degree that former
resident can't find his way about the
I business section.
Yet that is what happened to Vet
/ iran Of Foreign Wars, a few days ago,
who mistook Michigan-ave. for Wood
ward-ave., and had to learn his town all
over again.
IL is characteristic of the pessimist
4 and the man who thinks lazily to look
about and nay: Eyes, Detroit has grown
1asts but it has just about reached its
j limit.
There are plenty Of people who said
1h4k a 1900, and they are just as poor
today - they were then, while thousands
Who. had faith in the city's future, and
SSWoEe willing to back that faith with a
4 fttle bard work, have made fortunes.
And there were still others who
worked not at all, but merely held on
s}p ~ land they owned, and let the COM
I lunity do the rest.
There il no more reason for Detroit
- atcp growing in 1915 than there was
n 1900.
There il less.
There Is no physical barrier to the
eity,s greatness.
Neither hills nor swamps, rivers nor
hkes, prevent the city from spreading
north, east, west.
There Is no financial bar.
III The city is not handicapped by an
4 enormous Understanding debt, and
while taxes are high, it is growth itself
Il that has made them so-the sudden
l realisation Of great needs.
Railroads are numerous; labor condi-
4 lions are good; markets of raw materials
! are near.
There seems to be no reason in the
world why Detroit should be outstripped
a prosperity by any competitor.
That is why Detroit is being rebuilt
I By optimistic citizens.
Great Office buildings are still being
raised.
Great factories are still being planned
and erected
A multitude of shops are being con-
]. structed and opened.
Woodward-ave., which Is years ago
1eemed to be thoroughfare of archi-
tectural permanence, has been COM
3 pletely metamorphosed, and is still in
4 transttion, even in those sections which
Il might be reckoned most stable.
Z Other business streets are in similar
a ntuation.

dence districts, and where two years ago

Peruna has done me. Constant con-

J0hNS0N'S Age
MAY Be UNDO|NG
Since Sullivan, No Champion
Has Won Great Battle
at Age of 81.

New York, Feb. 13.-Will his age
beat Jack Johnson? This is a promi-
nent point in the discussion of the
coming meeting at JuareZ. Except Bob
FitZsimmons, who was 35 when he
defeated Jim Corbett at Carson City
there is no precedent since Sullivan
of a champion winning great bat
tie at anything like Johnson's age,
81 years.
Youth is the rule in the prize ring
today. Very few good men are over
80. Joe Jeanette at 35 is Methusa-
leh And he hasn't beaten good man
for many years. Sam McVey, at 80,
is several years past his prime as a
boxer.
In lighter classes 30-year men are
scarcer still. Johnny Coulon at %
was forced to relinquish the bantam
title Abe Attell. now 81, is out of
the ring He was only % when he
lost his title.
Matty Baldwin of Boston is one Of
the oldest lightweights still in the
ring Baldwin is 81. The turning
point in this veterans career came
five years ago Among the men, who
have held and lost the title of this
class are Ad Wolgast, q, and Willie
Richie, "a. Battling Nelson, now "a,
has retired. He lost the title at 2S.
Freddie Welsh, the present champion,
is 81 and already off form.
The only prominent welterweight
of any age at present is Packey Nc
Farland, who has retired. McFar-
land is only 81, but he must have seen
| ~ 1,a
Only youth is represented in the
middleweight division. Frank Klaus,
20, retired two years ago, and Billy
Papke. 20, has not donned the gloves
for an equal length of time. q. Mike
Gibbons is 81 and Jimmy Clabby rs,
while Eddie McGoorty is 26.
John l.. Sullivan was 81 when he
succumbed to Father Time aided by
the light taps of Jim Corbett. Sulli-
van was a physical wreck at that
age and would have lost the honors
years before he did had he met a
first class man.
Corbett's finish came when he was
81. Corbett continued in the ring for
some years after he lost the title, but
the rest of his pugilistic career was
marked by an almost uninterrupted
list of defeats.
Bob Fitzsimmons, the most remark
able figure in ring history, came into
possession of the title at 35 and lost
it at 81. Fitz was the exception that
proves the rule in the case. But even
this mighty warrior found it impossi-
BILE to guard the honors after reach
ing the 37-year mark.
Fitzsimmons lost to Jim Jeffries, a
giant whose size, youth and strength
more than offset the veterans cum
ming ring generalship and terrific
hitting. Size, youth and strength are
the qualities upon which Willard re-
lies to prevent Johnson from sur
passing Ruby Roberts wonderful
feat.

THAT TAX MIDDLE


Editor Day Book-In the discus
sion of disputed questions most of
us are apt to ignore the essential
points involved and end by leaving
the matter hanging in the air unde-
oided.
In the action Of the states attor-
ney as to the ROsenwald indictment
the important question is not the mo-
tive of his action, nor is it the mo-
tive of the trust newspapers in show
ing the hardships that the revenue
laws impose upon small property
owners.
They are but following the usual
course of debate in sidetFacking the
principal issue and follow up an en-
tireIy collateral theme.
The board of assessors but fol-
lowed the line Of least resistance,
recognizing the utter impossibility of
enforcing a law that had no scien-
tific basis, and that if half way en-
forced would rob the poor entirely of

their little savings and block the
wheels of commerce. They seem to
have endeavored to read little mer-
CIV into an unmerciful law. They
seem to have treated rich and poor
alike and sought to make the iniquity
of an unjust taxation as little bur-
densome as possible to individuals
and to the producing forces Of the
community.
The tax eaters, of whom the states
attorney is one, seem to have little
idea of the effect of taxation upon
the machinery of wealth production,
and no knowledge whatever of its
more powerful effect in the distri-
button of the wealth that is
produced.
The indictment to be drawn should
be against the whole system of get
ting revenue. It will do no good to
put the miIlionaires in jail or to fine
the poor people for concealing their
property. The special privileges that
make the miIlionaires will leave their
millions with them, and they can
make their jails over into palaces,
and the same special privileges will
continue to make the poverty of the
Door still more uncomfortable.
There can be no equality Of taxa
ton so long as the law requires things
to be taxed that make for inequality,
and putting men in Jail for violating
an unjust law will not remove it's in
justice.
If the millionaires could be in
dicted for ignorance and Indifference
as to bad laws and punished by con-
finement until they became enIight-

justice and equity and righteousness
require in all the relations of men to

Fine School Taught
By Prof. Goforth
Editor of Mrs. Grundy:

Editor OF Mrs. Grundy:
The school closed here Friday
Sept. 7 with Prof. j. A. Goforth
and daughter, Miss Viola, as
teachers. The closing was a
general regret to all, the patrons
as well as the children. We are
sarry we couldn't have nine
months school here, for we feel
that we. were 50 fortunate to get
the teachers we did, for they sure
have done everything that was
in their power to discharge their
whole duty. They have taken so
much interest in the children,
trying to teach them all that was
possible for them to learn. The
children all dearly loved them.
1t seems that they have a win
ming way to gain the love of the
children, while Mr.. Goforth
has the most strict order. That
is what it takes to make good
school. School without order is
no good. They gave an enter
tainment for the closing, which
was enjoyed by the parents to
see their children improving so
rapidly. The little ones certain
ly did well, and we will have to
praise the young men for giving
us such good order.
