Dingeman's Ruling Makes
For Honest Elections

BY his ruling that the Scott-Flowers
Bill looking toward decent elections APP
plies to Detroit insofar as it does not
conflict with already existing special acts
Corporation Counsel Dingeman has taken
! most commendable step toward freeing
Detroit from the petty rule of petty poll
ticians.
The common citizen who works every
day to support his family, pay his taxes
and otherwise performs the duties of
straight and honest citizenship, has just
one chance to hold in check the selfish
schemes of that other citizen who does
not work, unless it be to work his fellows
into keeping him in public berth at
the expense Of the taxpayer.
That one chance to be heard is at the
polls on primary and election days.
How much is that chance worth when
the very men whose schemes come up
Tor review before the people, or the un-
doriings who depend on them for jobs,
~ mugly ensconced within the election
booths, charged with the official respon-
sibility of receiving and counting the
votes in which they are so many times
vitally interested?
Because the petty office-holders have
been allowed to and have to a very large
extent participated in primaries and
elections as officials is not to argue that
Detroit primaries and elections have been
lpneked or results stolen. But the fact
remains that in Terre Haute and Indian
apolis and all the rest of the cities whose
diagraceful records of election corruption
have been barred to the country job-hold-
err have run those elections.
Depriving the petty job holders of their
right to run election precincts is move
ment for cleaner elections, just as the
trainers Of the bill intended, and it is
gratifying that the city's lawyer has done
his share in making the cleanup apply

Time For Action When
Hangings Are Regarded
As Festive Occasions

There are times when one wishes that

and not have to wait for its children (the
states) to grow up and learn how One
was during the Colorado strike where it
did, finally, take hand, and now is an
other occasion, less important perhaps,
but no less significant, when we would
like, the federal government to act the
part of father or guardian and deprive
it's people of the ghoulish delight Of max

Here in Michigan We are relieved of
legalized homicide, but many other states
are still laboring under the old Hebrew
sobsession of an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth--trying to right one
wrong by committing another.
The affair in Georgia has been hushed
up by the government and all concerned
b that state. Awhile ago, in Mississippi,
there was a hanging "bee" and people

THAN more difficult, in securing d..
vorcs. The patron of the bill claimed
that the bill al drafted at the In.
stance Of the judges Of the circuit
corts of the state. to prevent the Sc
curing of divorce through fraud.
While considerable work was done
in both houses in advancing bills to
second and third readings and passing
a number Of bills, important measures
did not come UP, except in the. intro.
duction Of a r.mber of resolutions
