ishpeming Man Says Speeding Is
Prominent I'm Iron and Dickinson.

That the auto drivers OF Dickinson
counties have little fear OF arrest for
speeding, was evident TO me when
made trip TO that section recently"
said a car owner OF Ishpeming last
week. Il could not help notice how
drivers over there speed up on the
roads in comparison to the manner in
which the Marquette county men
drive

this year. From the way they speed
on the Menominee range they need an
officer Of his type over there.
1T Is seldom that / notice anybody
speeding in this county. while | pass
ed good many cars on the Menomi-
nee range roads that were going at
from thirty-five TO forty-five miles an
hour. We occasionally run across a
car in this section exceeding thirty
miles. while from twenty to twenty
five is the fastest most OF them travel
since they were convinced that from
bly, means business, and will not toll
crate violations of the law. also
notice that the drivers over there do
not dim their lights as they do here.
ut is much to the credit of Mar
quette county's motorcycle officer
that there have been few bad acci-
dents in this county this summer, al
though there have been a good many
minor smashups, due principally TO
the fact that the men who came to
grief were not good drivers.

had been fortunate, although a num-
ber have had narrow escapes. Quite
a number of ears have gone into the

cidents were due TO carelessness or

Mr.. Bittner, motor cycle cop for
Iron county, informed a reporter for
The Diamond Drill that since he was
appointed to the Office he noticed par
ticularly that the cars that he has
had the most trouble with are cars
coming from the iron ranges, stating
further that he held up good many
lshpeming and Marquette cars for ex-
ceeding the speed limit. "The fact
that they can't get away with It," Mr.
Bittner said, makes them sore and
when they get back to their home they
set up a holler" 1t should be remem-
bered by our Iron country brothers

Voters should Vote Against IL at
Election on November Z.

1t will be we'll for all members OF
Fraternal Benefit societies TO not
overlook voting NO on the Fraternal
amendment at the general election on
November z.
This amendment was defeated two
years ago by over 100000 majority
Notwithstanding this fact the enemies
OF Fraternalism have again succeed
ed In getting 1, before the people. In
order to confuse the voter II was their
intention to place two amendments
before him this fall, bearing on the
same question. However. IL was dis
covered that in Wayne county alone,
there was over 10000 names fraudu-
lently obtained for the petition cover
ing the second amendment and the
Secretary OF State refused to submit
II. Therefore there will be only one
fraternal amendment to be voted on.
The substance of the proposed amend
ment to be voted on is as follows:
M0Sp serious PrOpOAhL
Among other things II is provided
that the officers, upon demand OF any
five local lodges, shall be required TO
furnish complete mailing list OF their
membership for use in connection
with the exercise OF the initiative,
referendum, and recall This is the
niger in the woodpile.
II this amendment be adopted,
twenty-five members under the guise
of desiring to submit an initiative pc
tition. could require the officers OF
this society to incur the enormous ex-
pense OF furnishing one million names
and their addresses. While il is pro-
posed to guard this list by penal pro-
visions, every one knows that such
provisions are tasily violated, and
these lists of members would soon
find themselves in the hands of COM
petitors, mail order houses and asso-
Citations OF this kind

The last clause OF the amendment
giving any 500 or more Michigan
members the right TO withdraw and
form a society of their own would
not, as the trainers of this amend
ment say, protect the Michigan peo-
pie. The history of such movements
has proven them disastrous failures.
An organization composed of 500
men, many OF whom in advanced ages,
from this or any other society, could
not succeed in this state. The result
would be that in a year or two when
death claims begin TO pile up to the
extent which would be impossible for
the organization to take care of them,
that in order to get through they
would have to, il they could, reinsure
with some other organization, and
that to their sad disadvantage

The Clever Wasp.

Wasps appear to be well-nigh as In
dustrious as ants or bees. One authors
trine of the wasp is: IF any wasp will
not work, neither shall he eat"
Division Of labor is clearly seen in
the wasp's nest. Some of the workers
seem to be specially employed as for.
ayers and soldiers, others appear to
be told off as nurses and guardians.
while yet others are engaged as paper
makers and ma sons.
