THAT DEPUTY sHAKE.Ur

The Iron River Stambaugh Reporter
has the following TO say relative to
the discharge OF Phil German.
Another change in the policing OF
the West Side OF the county was re-
Gently made when Phil German. who
has been marshal OF Palatka for sew
eral years. turned in his resignation
Nov 30. John Chard, formerly mar
shall of Stambaugh, was appointed to
act as temporary marshal OF Palatka
until a permanent officer is appointed.
The resignation OF German is said
to be due to political fight with the
present township board Several
months ago the board cut Germans
salary 10 $50 a month. but he accept
cd it and held on 10 the Office until he
resigned
II knew the board was after me
when they cut my salary" said Cor
man. but made up my mind to
keep the Office until was ready to
resign or course the board thought
would quit when II reduced my sal

so and that is all there is to It."
German turned In his designation to
Supervisor wsnzer on the evening OF
Nov 20. as the latter was alighting
from a street car in Palatka
You may accept my resignation to
take effect at once" announced Cor
man.
Alright" replied Wanzer. you in
tended TO be fired anyway"
That's no news to me" retorted
German. II knew you were after me
for long time but thought would
wait until got good and ready be

X. X RATES INCREASED
Inter State Commerce Com. Grants
Increase Of FeHr-teRths Cents

Crystal Falls travellers will have 10
pay more when they travel TO Chicago
next year. The Inter State Commerce
Commission after an exhaustive hear
ing has decided that 2-cents per mile
is not remunerative rate and has
granted an increase or four-tenths OF
one per cent in the upper peninsula
and in Wisconsin. This increase is
very much different from that which
the railroads tried TO get out of the leg
islature last winter when they asked
that they be granted the privilege OF
charging Scents per mile without any
investigation being made by the state
TO show IL three-cents was needed.
The commission denied the rail
roads the privilege OF raising their
rates from 2-cents in the lower PENN
sula. the new rate effecting Clover
land. Wisconsin. Illinois. Minnesota
Iowa. Nebraska and parts OF Missouri
and Kansas but does not effect the
lower section OF Michigan. The people
of that section between Missouri and
Kansas south Of the mississippi River
Will pay 2.s ceN rate
a comparison between the old rates
and the new can be had on the fare
from this city TO Chicago The distance
is 1886 miles and the present rate Is
$3.50 The new rate will be $1.34
higher or $500.
The rate was 10 go into effect March

TRYING 1T OVER

The sheriff OF Iron county has made
another roundup OF bootleggeIs, and
the term applied to the offenders Is
trite because in one instance the booze
was found In a shoemaker's shop and a
rubber boot had been used to receive a
gallon OF old rye that the proprietor
had sought TO hide before the officers
reached him. In the last raid II is
pretty certain that the charges will
stick because the officers OF the law
took pains TO get evidence OF most
convincing character N will take a
pretty wet jury to get away from this
last effort on the part OF the sheriff and
his assistants. and we don't believe the
county prosecutor will need any aid
from the upper peninsula bacteriologi-
cal laboratory to learn what the stun
conhscated Is made up Of II will be
pronounced fre-water containing
enough alcohol to offend the law. Iron

community. II has pride in behaving
itself and possesses plenty OF good
citizens who are right willing TO come
out into the daylight to practice and TO
enforce what they preach. We never
had any doubt about Iron. IT'S new
order OF things there and IL will
naturally take little time to remedy
the evils that will naturally arise. Az

going to sleep any too we'll and when
they get before the circuit Judge after

MAYOR MuNNs REPLIES
continued froln pAgsli


true all over Iron county lie also says
that there are as many DRINKS in Crys-
tai Falls as there were before local
option.
Now. our Crystal Falls neighbor
tells what Is true when he says that we
have a great number of blind pigs
throughout the county We had blind
gigs before the county went dry and we
will always have them as long as liquor
is made and shipped in here and we
have the liquor element TO contend
with. But he is not stating facts when
he says that more liquor is consumed
and that there are more DRINKS. He
has totally ignored the other side OF
this question. for there are two sides
TO 1t, the same as any other question.
He has not told you that the great
majority OF the workingmen spend
their time at home instead OF in the
saloons, as formerly. and that on pay
days, instead OF rushing to the saloon
to cash their checks and spend their
money. they pay their bills and may be
seen going home with bundles of
groceries and drygoods INSTEAD OF
whiskey and beer bottles.
Now, Nj. Crystal Falls man. come
out i'm the open and above your own
signature tell where one-tenth of as
much liquor is consumed in Crystal
Falls as there was before this place
was voted dry. Also let us know where
those drunks are You seem 10 know
and you are about the only one that
knows. You cannot show one drunk
against twenty-five before local option
was voted. Visit our county Jail and
see II you can find as many DRINKS
there. You cannot find as many either
in our jails or on our streets.
Let us hear from you. Mr.. Crystal
Falls man. We have two papers in the
county and | am sure that either one
OF those papers are at your disposal
Mr.. Editor. you will confer a favor by
publishing this communication.
Your truly,
ROBERT NUNS.

"BY THIS SIGN WE CONQUER"

Former Speaker Cannon sounded the
keynote OF the campaign OF 1916 In his
remarks at the caucus OF the Republi-
can minority in the House OF Repre-
sentatives, December 2 AS quoted in
the Washington dispatch TO the New
York American, Mr.. Cannon said:
Tonight, after bur term OF adyer-
sity, am glad to look around me and
see this encouraging number OF old
and new faces. l am glad to say: Be
hold how good and how pleasant 1t is
for brethren to dwell together in
unity"
The former Speaker waved his arms
about and teetered on his toes in the
same old spot where years ago he was
wont TO harangue goodly Republican
majority He continued:
I'VE may disagree about some
things, some of us are wet, and some
OF us dry; some are radical, some are
liberal. some are for woman suffrage
and some are against IT, But on the
one great issue, the great economic
issue and by This sign we conquer
on the Tariff, we are all agreed"

SATURDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1918.

The report OF the inter state com
merce commission is very interesting
and important. The commission re-
commends the compulsory equipping
OF railroads with steel cars and the
enlargement OF the commission with
power to act in subdivisions similar
to the powers of our state tax com
mission. The business OF the commits
sion has increased to such an extent
that very important subjects are
dragged along because OF the inabil-
fly OF the present commission to con
slider them.
