The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1916-04-15

As will be- seen form perusual
Of our news columns County Com
missioner of Schools John r. Mason
this week caused the arrest of Louis
King, an Iron River township farm
er near Gibbs city, for failure TO
send his children 10 school and
Justice Van Allen OF Stambaugh fined
Mr. King 81 and cost amounting TO
$3.50 MIR Mason Is entitled TO credit
for this action, but what we would
like TO see him do Is to get after this
man John Smith. whose son was ac-
quilted lasI week by Crystal Falls

Emma Johnson. teacher OF the Iron
Lake school A more bare faced VIC
lation OF the school laws has not been

good work by getting after the John

WHO CAN CAST THE FIRST
sTONE?"
There h considerable regret ex-
pressed about the city upon the at
titude OF some of our citizens in fore
ing the prosecutors hand. II the story
that his hand has been forced through
an appeal TO the governor Is correct.
When "Hogan's Alley was abandoned
az the result OF the leaking out Of the
detective story and its publicity there
was general satisfaction expressed
but when the action was continued
and the boys arrested there Is an ap-
parent reversal OF feeling
II seems TO us that what ought TO be
sought is prevention not persecution
and II the sale or other unlawful dis
posal of liquor can be prevented in
this community, the very easiest way
10 prevent II IL the one that should be
used The very best way 10 stop the
illegal sale OF liquor is to get those
who have been selling il out OF the
business. II one is willing TO go away
and stop selling the end will be
easiest arrived at in that manner. The
action against him should not be
dropped but should be held over his
head to keep him in the straight and
narrow path.
The Diamond Drill has been insist
ent that blind plugging be stopped but
we do not favor any persecution nor
any attempt at blue law" regime.
The people will not stand for it.
Judgment should be used and by that
we do not mean TO use any such judg-
ment as will make fish of one and
flesh OF another but such judgment as
will best attain the end sought-the
prevention OF the sale of liquor in
this county while the local option law
prevails Any other course is sure to
bring about such a backward swing of
the pendulum as will put us in a worse
condition than we were before this
section went dry.

COMING TO A HEAD

II looks today, from press reports,
that the Mexican situation Is rapidly
coming TO head. This Mexican condi-
ton has been carbuncle upon the
peace and well being Of the North
American continent for five years and
is certain sooner or later 10 come 10 q
head that civilization may purge itself
of the infection. d"
Pres Wilson Is about TO reap, so II
appears. the crop that his folly in TAX
ing sides between the Mexican bandits
merits for him. Carranza will, II the
opportunity appears good to him. turn
on Pres Wilson just as any other viper
might be expected TO do. Carranza is
no better than villa or any Of the other
robbers who have set themselves up as
leaders OF Mexican factions The best
man OF the lot was rIuerta and he was
forced ont OF power because Pres, Will
son picked Carranza as the man who
represented the best sentiment among
the Mexican leaders.
II makes little difference In Mexico
what the sentiment is. The Mexican
people, especially those OF the northern
section, are getting just what they
want In this disturbed life and the
leader who survives must cater to that
disposition.
Sooner or later the United States
must intervene In Mexico and the
fiascos that have been pulled OF by this
government in sending troops into that
country and then ordering them out Is
emboldening the Mexicans TO make a
stand when the time does come for
fight.

rnAr PREsIpENrIAL PRIMARY

THAT PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
We have noticed a lot OF criticism
anent the presidential primary in this
state We have yet to hear anybody
come strong in It's defense. Those
knocking" the primary seem to have
the floor all TO themselves.
Perhaps this primary is pretty much
farce We thought that it would be
when II was first talked OF but some
OF our politicians wanted It and they
Wouldn't be happy till they got it."
They wanted IT for an immediate,
specific purpose. That emergency has
passed and now. poor thing. its spons-
ers, even have no use for II.
The bulk OF the complaint we have
noticed Is because of the lethargy that
exists Why bless you friends If it
were not for this same lethargy there
wouldn't be any primary II all the
electors turned out any old system
that gave a fair opportunity TO express
ones choice and guaranteed the ma
Jority rule would answer The fact
that the people do not turn out TO eau
cuses caused all the rumpus. The
politicians got fighting and the fellow
who was al disadvantage sought a
means to get the advantage That
was all there was 10 IT, The old sys-
TEN was o. X in 1908 when Taft was
rammed down the throats Of the re-
publican party but in 1912 when the
other crowd tried some ramming and
had the ramrod we had the primary
foisted upon us.
Who expected the people to turn
out? It's doubtful If they turn out in
force more than once in the life
time of the average individual bur
that once Is liable to compensate for
al the other misses. About the only
use for the primary is to afford an
agency through which the body polite
can blow of steam. In afGordng us
that opportunity II serves our purpose
so let the primary alone
