CHARLES w. FAIRBANKS
DETRoIT's IMPRESSIONS OF MAN.

q De- HOIIS IMPRESSIONS Or a MAN,
\ Governor Hughes visit to Detroit opened the presidential campaign
\ Of 1916 and II we may forecast the events that arr to follow by the
r omens of Monday we would prognosteate an intensely warm, vivid and
d humanity interesting period In the next few months.
r Setting aside the auspices of meteorological conditions In this pro.
d vision Of the future-aLthough they are approved by numerous profess
d sionaI augurs and by a host of conmonaty as weIl-we base this pro-
4 phecy on the characteristics OF the candidate whose too brief stay with
4 US has been enjoyed by all with whom he came into contact.
4 The misguided individuals who have been expecting Charles {.
q Hughes would prove to be a cold proposition and therefore easy to
q beat are In for a shock that will make them think they have been hi by
Z an uninsuIated trolley wire. There lie nothing cold about Mr. Hughes,
3 Detroit has learned. He 10 about as intensely human a piece Of hu-
I maniy as ever captured the hearts Of a crowd, and the more people In
j the United States he meets between now and November the more
] votes will be cast for him. Az a campagner he is a revelation. He
likes his fellow beings, and they like him because they see he likes
I them
And what his personality begins his remarkable powers Of Intellect
and uteranee finish. He drives his points home with tremendous force.
= What he says sticks. There are thousands Of Americans today who
can retei every step In the arguments he made eight years ago on
the Bryan trust policy, yet In 1908 Mr. Hughes was not especially a
I prominent figure and there was no particular reason why his address
more than others should have remained clearly In the memory except
Z Of others. They are clear In his own mind first undoubtedly He knows
= precisely what he wants to say because he has reasoned II out before
he speaks II out. Probably that has something to do with the ease
with which he conveys his meaning. But It Is a very rare quality
y he possesses In his ability to master subjects SO thoroughly az to make
the most absruse simple to himself and his hearers. It Is a quality
desired In the president Of a great country like the United States.
Detroits impression Of Charles E.. Hughes 10 all favorable, The
thousands of people who have studied him at close range re convinced
that II he 10 elected president next November he will be a great presL.
dent, one of the greatest this nation has known, worthy to stand In
history with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, a custodian Of
the republics fate to whom that fate may confidently be lntruNed
II that conviction is shared by the people Of other states whom he Ia
still to meet, the outcome Of his swing around the great American
circle cannot fall to be propthous for him-Detroit Free Press.

The Case of MIR. DOud

The case of Judge Doud being
beaten by J.. E. Good presents per-
haps the saddest case of all. An
old and respected citizen having
served one term as probate judge
and then being turned down by some
one who had no claims upon the cleo
torate, presents a subject that Is not
without a tinge of sadness.

Special 70 Times Republican


Des Moines, April 15.-State Fire
Marshal Ole Q. Roe has joined the club
women of the state in promotins clean
up week In letter addressed 10 the
mayors, fire chiefs and commercial
clubs OF the various cities and towns
of the state he says:
To the mayors. chiefs of fire depart
ments and commercial clubs: The
Iowa Federation Of Women's Clubs is
arranging for statewide cleanup
week. April "a to %. 1916.
This movement should receive the
earnest and active support of all per-
sons interested in the Improvement OF
our cities. towns and villages. and es-
pecially of those who place stress upon
safety from disease and fire.
Few people consider the value of
cleanliness in fire prevention, forget
ting that the two principal causes Of
disease and fire are the same-care-
lesSnesS and want of cleanliness
The thought of cleanup week Sug-
gests the average city or town with it's
stores, warehouses, factories and
homes.
In the front of most of its bust
ness houses every thing is order and
cleanliness: in the rear are boxes. bar
rels, paper, excelsior. and other in
fiammable trash. In the basement we
find all sorts of rubbish and inlam-
mable conditions, often reinforced by
the storage OF tanks and barrels of
kerosene. gasolene, and other highly
intlammab!e oils. In the midst of this
mass of rubbish we often find a fur
mace or other heating plant improper
ly protected: we find electric wires
twisted around nails and passing thru
wooden partitions without suitable in
sulation. The chimneys and fiues are
cracked and filled with SCOT that from
time 20 time catches fire and produces
intense heat.
IN addition to this we find in most
cities and towns. old dilapidated build
ings or shacks which have become by
reason Of age and for want of repair
in such condition that they are unfit for
occupancy or habitation. In the in
terest of higher morals and better liv-
ing, as we'll as fire prevention. Amer
lean public opinion should decree the
adjustment of the shack and the slum.
To this end we should cultivate a spirit
of civic pride upon the part of the
owners Of buildings of this class
Recognizing as we must the exist
ence Of these undesirable conditions, l
would most respectfully ask the CO.
operation of mayors, chiefs Of fire de-
partments and commercial organiza-
tons in this praiseworthy movement to
the end that cleanup week may be
productive of lasting results not only
as regards the Improvement OF the
outside Of buildings. but what is more
important. both to the health and to
the safety from fire. that the base
ne1t. the attic and the storage room
should be as free from rubbish as is
the salesroom or the parlor'
