What's the matter with people. any

they are the salvation of the race.

Optimism is mostly a matter of adj

People with appetites are human.
Human folks are those who make lows

we labor? 1t shall be to music. Must
we exercise? l. shall be game.
It's your fat men that keep humanity
from dying of the dry rot They make

Of destiny.
Fat men have the sources Of humor in
them. Some lean persons have been
tunny, but what would they have amount
ed to had there been no fat person to
laugh at them?
Your skinny ones take themselves too
seriously. They are reformers. prohibi-
tlonistS, revolutioniSts, suffragettes.
Their gospel is Whatever is. is wrong.
Why do men admire slender women?
They nag.
Slim women are neat. orderly, every
thing-in-itsplace. They are good house

And why do women admire slim men.

The foregoing are the words of Judge
. William F. Connolly in his declaration to
the people of Detroit as a candidate for
the mayoralty.
We know Judge Connolly to be poll

We know him to be successful poll

He has been so successful that he has
been placed in the leadership Of his party

The Times believes that when Judge
Connolly makes that statement he means

Detroit that promise. he makes it as a

Judge Connolly went further in his
declaration and sealed his promise to the
people of Detroit in the following SEN
fences:
