Charles b. Warren Is
Deserving of the Honor

The Detroit Board of Commerce has
signally honored Charles B. Warren by
choosing him for president TO succeed
himself, this being the first instance of a
reelection to the office in the history of
the organization. The board has broad
ened noticeably so-under the Warren
leadership. A short time ago we re-
marked upon activities which indicated
a new spirit had taken hold of things
simultaneously with the choice Of Mr..
Warren as its head. We are positive of
this new spirit now, for it is conspicu-
ously present in the exercise of good
judgment which leaves the presidency in
such good hands.

A BUSINESS MAN ON
SHIP-BUILDING
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. by Frank CraneJ

i am just a plain, everyday business
man. said Florida lumber merchant to
me the other day, and perhaps my ideas
are crude. Still, I've made money on 'en.
A few years ago / was in the lumber
bushes out in Montana, and it occurred
to me that, instead of sending thousand
miles away for special sizes of windows,
doors, mouldings, and such things, had
better put in some machinery and make
'em myself.
! did II worked beautifully. / gave
employment to more people in my town,
used native products as far as possible,
kept my money at home. and so helped
the community as well as benefiting my
self. II gave additional business and
sales Of other material to the place, and
was good advertising.
Now, I'm not versed in political econ
omy and statecraft and all that, but I've
had forty years of varied business ex-
perience And if had hand in run

would most certainly start the ship
building industry of our own country.
Wed just as well make our own ships
as to buy them Of foreigners, and make
foreign enemies, whose friendship and
good will this country may need some
day. Who knows?
The strange part Of the present situa-
tion 10 me is that we have all the neces-
saries right here at home; money, men,
and material.
And God knows how badly the idle
men Of the country need work.
The ship-building industry would give
employment TO thousands Of hands, di-
rectly and indirectly. 1t would give new
impetus to the steel and iron trades, to
saw mills and lumber men, besides fur
nishing added business for the railroads
/ 1t would mean many more workers in
the copper, lead, and zinc mines. in glass
works, and in hardware. sash and door
I factories, and many others. All ramifi-
cations Of labor would be quickened. II
would start things toward prosperity.
! 1t would help toward an increased
navy, for these ships could be constructed
so that they could quickly be converted
/ into cruisers.
By employing artificial light we could
use three eight-hour shifts of labor. and
rush through to completion these splen-
did merchant ships in four months. The
European war has already lasted six
months.
II The able politicians at Washington
may know Of some reason why. when we
need ships, we don't sail in and build
'em; but | don't.

Chadsey Will Be Retained!
Votes for Women Did 1t!

We congratulate the children in the
schools of Detroit, we congratulate the
parents of children in the schools and
we congratulate every decent citizen
upon the outcome of the primaries for
school inspectors.
Which outcome insuresithe reelection
next July Of DR.. Charles Z. Chadsey as
superintendent of schools.
But that is not the full extent OF the
victory, nor the real n,for congrat-
ulations.
The result in the primaries proves that
the old power Of Martindaleism has been
broken and that the old machine has
been all but wiped out.
FOR WHICH HAPPY STATE OF
AFFAIRS: FOR WHICH TRIUMPH OF
DFCFNCY OVER CHEAP POLITICS,
PLEASE CREDIT THE VOTES Or
WOMEN.
1t was a long hard fight up to the point
where It was possible to enlist the sup
port of MOTHERS and the interest OF
MOTHERS in the future citizenship,
when il became easy.
Those loyal women Of Detroit who
have led their own sex and convinced
their opposite sex that the public school
is in danger while in the hands OF men
interested most in the political impor-
tance Of janitorship, are deserving OF
and have, we believe, the deep gratitude
Of every citizen who prides himself upon
his American patriotism.
What these women have accomplished,
great as it is, is but sample Of the pos
abilities when woman has been extended
the full rights of her citizenship and is
permitted TO vote on ALL questions.
By making sure OF the retention of Dr.
Chadsey as the head of our schools the
voters used excellent judgment and cast
their ballots in manner which indicates
fhat we are thoroughly awake in this
city AT LAST to the vital Importance OF
the school issue.
With the coming of DR.. Chadsey to
Detroit and to the school superinten-
dency, . new order of things went into
effect and the old political ring went out.
The result has been increased efficiency
and school standard of which we never
could boast before.
We are fortunate in having so compe-
tent and capable man directing the
making of our future citizens.
With but one exception, all present
inspectors who sought denomination were
successful, which indicates the care with
which they were selected at the last
election.
It indicates, further, that this board is
now body that is responsive to public
thought and sentiment, and supplies con-
vincing proof that Detroit education is no
longer in the hands Of irresponsible po-
litical highbinders.
We are selecting the right kind of men
these days for service on the school
board to insure Detroit the right kind Of
men ard women for the coming years.
The Detroit times., 1915-03-06


The Times thought Auditor Charles
A. Buhrer should have been defeated for
denomination, but handsome majority
for him over his nearest opponent shows
how far wrong We were.
The machine was working beautifully
and il looks as if Buhrer would continue
to be king, car, kaiser and everything
else of the county building for at least
four more years.
It, perhaps, is not exactly fair to
attribute Buhrer's vote WHOLLY TO the
influence he wields in the office which
hands out considerable of the county pie.
That the auditor has no mean ability
as an organizer and as a systematizer
and that he has introduced whole lot Of
efficiency into the Office is not denied
anywhere.
Many votes he received were in rec
ognition Of this ability.
The Times criticised him solely for a
tendency TO let personalities and politics
interfere with a first consideration due
the pocketbooks Of the taxpayers.
We still believe that the efforts OF
Hugh Shepherd, as prosecutor, to clean
up Wayne county would have brought us
results but for the fact that the auditor
for no good reason, refused Shepherd
the funds to finance the crusade.
VIC know tliat Buhrer has, in some
Instances, saved money for the tax.

We know that in other instances he
