Old Enallsh Lotteries.

On October IS. 1926. the last state
lottery was drawn in England. From
the time of Queen Elizabeth lotteries
had been common in this country, and
at the close of the eighteenth century
they had become established by sue
cessive acts of parliament and were
considered by chancellors Of the ex-
chequer as perfectly legitimate means
of increasing the revenue. Indeed, at
the time they were abolished lotteries
were contributing to the state sum
amounting to 100000 per annum
But it was felt that the government
should no longer participate in an un-
dertaking which had such a demcraliz-
ing effect on the people, for this legal
lied gambling impoverished many and
diverted attention from the less excit-
ing pursuit of making an honest liv-
ilg.-London Chronicle.

Surgeons Use carbonle Acid.

Military surgeons with the German
army are taking advantage OF the pain

The address Of Roger NJ Andrews
before the Calumet Business mems
club. In which he advocates separate
state hood for The upper peninsula.
has been given much publicity this
week. Mr.. Andrews isn't the first man
to uncork this fiction. As far back as
we have any knowledge of upper pen
insula history this same bauble has
been dangled before tho eyes of upper
peninsula people. We remember when
bur young lad just arrived in the
upper peninsula from Wisconsin,
Joseph Grocer, one OF Mr.. Andrews
predecessors In the editorship of the
Menominee Herald. used TO give us
periodical talks OF good republican
doctrine the future of the upper pen
insula in which he pictured this sec
ton as separate state. So, it's no
new subject.
The best we can say for the PROPOSE
ton is that it's bunk; pure bunk of the
type that listens good but does lot OF
mischief. Mr.. Andrews can do far more
for the advancement OF the upper pen
insula by advocating campaign OF
publicity I'm the lower peninsula
through which the people down there
may be made acquainted and interested
in this big empire above the straits
That Is the kind OF doctrine we need
preached in this year OF Our Lord.
The upper peninsula has just as much
chance OF getting separate statehood
as Il has OF inducing st. Peter TO set up
a branch OF the Heavenly Colony in the
Huron mountains and this talk OF cut
ting loose can only have the effect OF
prejudicing the people below the
straits against US.
We doubt very much that the ma
jority OF the upper peninsula really
bankers for separate statehood. We are
pretty we'll taken care of where we
are. The farmers OF the lower PENN
suIa are pretty good citizens and make
a pretty good balance wheel for our
body polite. Let's soft pedal this sep
arate statehood bunk and get TO touch
ing elbows with the fellows below the
straits. There's more in II for all con
cerned.

sMoKING our HYPocRITEs

In another column will be found a
statement made by one OF the deputy
sheriffs dealing with the availability
OF "dry" timber for the enforcement OF
the local option laws. II does our heart
good to expose the skulkers. When
this paper took determined stand a
few weeks ago and demanded either an
enforcement OF the law or the return
TO license regime some OF these same
gentlemen were loud in their procla-
nations that THE Diamond Drill has
been bought up.
The hypocrite is the most contemp-
tible of the societys pests. In this To-

pest but also a canker on public NOR

THOSE sENEY LANDS

Some two or three years ago The
Diamond Drill called attention to
some lands that were being extensive
ly advertised in the vicinity OF Seney,
a small station on the ID. S. s. a. A. in
Schoolcraft county. The article was
prompted by a story we heard from a
person who claimed he had been
taken in by the company selling this
land and had last all Of the proceeds
OF fine farm in Minnesota
We know more about this land mat
ter now than we did then for the arti-
Gle got the attention OF the promoters
and also Of some members Of the Up
per Peninsula Development Bureau;
We had criticised the bureau for not
taking hand TO expose the reported
frauds" II is true that there is
vast section OF land in the vicinity OF
Seney that isn't worth the cost of fill
ing deed upon Il. II is also true that
there are some swamp lands in that
region that are very promising and up
on which much money has been spent
TO drain and develop. II is unfair TO
charge the promoters with selling
wholly worthless lands: likewise il
Is not right for the promoters to con-
tend that the possession and sale of
some good land compensates for the
misrepresentation OF their poor lands.
II Is true, as the ST. Ignace Republi-
.can-News says, that the lands which
have sand subsoil under the vegetable
matter covering "A covering improper
ly described as black muck"-is very
liable TO become SO dry following the
drainage that they are apt TO catch
fire and burn up" We were told by
the former owners OF the land that be
fore this tract was sold an expert
ment was made TO test the value OF
the land. a forty acre tract was ditch

along. Another bad feature OF The
tract Is the fact that frosts occur
every month in the year that's wha'
the fellows who live there tell us
so that Il is practically impossible e

The Development Bureau claimed
that Il was not possible for its officer
or agents TO stop the sale OF the ba'
lands because OF the lack of the proc
OF fraud. We had incidents cited TO n
where the purchaser insisted upol

HIS SILVER ANNIyERsARY

Attircd in a coat of blue, the rs
canada Journal celebrated its twenty
fifth anniversary last Saturday. The
Journal has been under the manage
ment of Frank l.. Baldwin for the past
nine years and during that tima 1t has
attracted to itself more attention than
was given it in the other eighteen.
This is because Mr. Baldwin has a
back bone and punch, two elements
that give tone to any newspaper. Just
now Mr.. Baldwin is engaged in ono Of
the hardest fights OF his long career, a
fight to make Delta county a dry
county.
We don't always agree with Brother
Baldwin but we must admire him and
his paper for he is an able man and
his paper is a fine specimen Of indie
pendent journalism.

Pulp Wood Away ON

The paper mills. or rather the pulp
wood supply companies are not seek
ing material to any extent this ,.eason
and when one OF these concerns does
enter the market their quotations are
so ridiculously low that producers
can't begin to accept them. For in
stance, central Wisconsin buyers cir
cularized this section some time ago
and stated that they would pay $5.25
for spruce pulp wood. This commodity
ruled at $3.50 last year and is worth
more than that for the supply is very
limited. No offers have been made OF
any kind on Hemlock pvlpwood

lronwood is another city whose
officials are explaining the increase in
taxation this year The defense is that
the tax commission reduced the val
uation on the mining properties ana
shunted some Of the burdens that
naturally belonged there onto the
shoulders OF the local residents. Some
few years ago when Crystal Falls was
first hit some of our neighbors could
Mt see where we were justified in the
"holler" we raised We prophesied
then that some day the other fellows
would be squealing and We have had
our prophecy confirmed Now, isn't
II about time for the upper peninsula
mining sections to unite in "A protest
against the lowering OF the valua-
tions of one kind of property without
an equal reduction in the other?

Later comment upon Henry Ford
and his peace expedition takes on a
more generous tone than that made
at the time the expedition started.
The opinion seems to prevail that the
jibes shot at Mr.. Ford and the expedi-
ton exceeded in many cases good
taste. Mr.. Ford tried to do something;
that's more than many who have been
taking pot shots at him did The most
vulnerable point in the project was
the fact that in making the attempt he
did he usurped the prerogatiye that
belonged TO the president But. that
point is being overlooked and the
papers are inclined to treat Mr. Ford
more kindly than they did.
