sands of dollars and many lives have
been sacrificed. our army is Withdrawn
and we decide the way to settle the
trouble is with Q commission rather
than with an army. 1t Is true that the
loss OF life Il not Is great here as in
Europe. but il those who claim Wilson
has kept US out Of war will 90 to the
border line and there see the thou
sands Of soldiers encamped; il they
will go to the homes OF the soldier
boys who have been slain; II they will
visit the homes where wives and
mothers are today performing unnec-
essary labors because their husbands
and sons are with the army. they will
have at least q passing knowledge that
We are not so far removed from war
as they think.
None OF us want any greater loss
of life than we have had. but on the
other hand a good many of us do not
the idea of any nation. and
Mexico, openly insulting us.
A single instance will show what we
mean. While Mr.. Bryan was secretary
of state an Englishman by the name
of Benton was killed by villa or Villas
men. Great Britain protested to Mr..
Bryan and he was compelled to call
Villa to account, and the answer was,
Please excuse me. When I killed
him l thought he was an American"
We are not able, after reading Mr..
Wilson's NOTES" to Europe, to de-
whether he is pro-German or
but We do know that every
thinking American is not SO much
as to when the European
war will cease as he is as to what
caused the war, who was to blame for
it, and how a like condition can be
avoided in the future: and yet Mr.
in a convention gathered to
discuss world peace, makes this state
ment:
with its causes and its objects
we are not concerned. The OBJ
scure fountains from which its
stupendous flood has burst forth
we are not interested to search for
or to explore"
This statement from a man who as
sures US that he is for peace and yet
Is not concerned enough to care what
the causes Of the present war were,
and how they can be avoided in the
future!
Wilson, Peace and Prosperity is the
cry Of the Democratic party,
but every thinking man and woman
knows that our prosperity at the pres
ent time is caused by two things
crops and high prices on ac-
count Of the war in Europe. Our con-
tinued sugar beet prosperity is caused
because the Democratic party re-
tained tariff on sugar, but from our
present prosperity we only have to
look back to the winter of 1914 and
1915 when men, women and children
starved in our large cities because of
lack Of work. Our manufactures to-
day, outside the manufacturing of
goods for European trade, are idle and |
our PEACE is exemplified by our Ma
tional Guards today being encampedI
on the Mexican border, simply to con-
vince the Mexicans that we have q |
mote writing" peaceful president.
And l shall not vote for Mr.. Wilson |
for President because he, as a public |
official, has not made good either as
Governor of New Jersey or as Presi-
dent of the United States. We do not
want this country engaged in war,
neither do we want to be insulted by
foreign countries, and with the pres
ent administration in power we have
both.

TUBERCULOSIS
EXAMINATIONS
GOOD ECONOMY

LANSING. May lit costs the
state OF Michigan less than five dol
lars per examination in the tubcr-
culosis survey that is being conduct
ed by the state board OF health. II
the present tate OF progress Is kept
w TO the end OF the campaign. cas-
lily more than 10000 persons will
have been examined when the sur
vey closes. And the actual ma kinS
OF examinations is but small part
OF the service that is being rendered
to the people of the state by the
campaign.
The low cost OF the work now be-
ing done in the interest Of public
health in Michigan is all the more
striking when placed in juxtaposl-
tiou with the annual loss sustained
by the people of the state as a re-
suit of tuberculosis. The state
board of health has prepared map
OF Michigan on which is indicated
county by county the economic loss
through tuberculosis annually. TAX.
ing the year 1913 as an example. And
the loss as given on this map totals
up to the enormous sum OF $12,659,-
TAO. That is what tuberculosis cost
the people OF the state in single
year through loss OF life, loss OF
wages, doctors bills, etc. In the IL
counties 20 far covered by the state
tuberculosis survey at a cost OF
little over s25,o00, the economic loss
from the disease in single year
was 33,149,e10, or 12s times as much
as is being expended oy the state TO
combat IL.
The figures as compiled by the
state board of health show that the
people Of Michigan are each year
paying an enormously high tubercu-
losis tar. whether they want TO or
not. The total loss. when divided
among the population, means a loss
Of approximately $500 a year for
every man. woman and child In the
state, while the present survey is
