II OCHESTER, Mich, Aug. s.
X Michigan, the state that
- made pacifsm famous, shifts
ground almost as reluctantly as did
the President. But the farmers and
villagerswho support the Chautauqua
Lyceum movement here, within gun
shot of the Detroit Ford factories
and the busy aviation field at Mt
Clemens, now are tuning up to the
war.
One Of the score Of Coit-Alber
Chautauqua tents flies its pennants
from the rustic common in this vii
lage, and the people who voted for
the President because he kept US
out Of war" did not withhold their
applause from former Governor
Frank w. Clarke Of Iowa when he
offered them new ideals of public
duty. He is the war orator" Of the
local meeting.
Southeast Michigan is turning out
patriot every minute, or whatever
the former automobile output was,
and the example of Henry Ford in
throwing himself wholesouledly into
the war for America has had a pro-
found effect, as evidenced by the APP
plause which references to his pa
triotism elicit in the Chautauqua
tents.
Former Governor Clarke lets it be
known that he is on the warpath, and
his appeal to the pride Of the rural
people to share "in the initiative OF
this nation for establishing ideals Of
democracy throughout the world"
are not received dumbly. But the
people in this Chautauqua tent can
not be made "to see red" They ap-
plaud the ideals, they glow under
sentimental appeals, they whoop it
up industriously when the new army
is mentioned, but it seems an abb
straction to them.

So the news came to the suffrage
world that Miss Camilla Morgan, leader
Of the 29th Assembly District, had de-
fed the unwritten law Of suffrage,
which is that ne worker shall be mar

Morgan was married to Ensign James

California 8 Biggest
Problem Is Labor

To Californians the war problem Is
not one Of submarines or aeroplanes. 1t
is the problem Of labor The state has
more arabic land than Japan. 1t has
100000 acres under irrigation and IL
could have 100000. 1t is preemi-
nently the land of the tractor and the
automobile. It's progressive and ener-
getic population is keen to use every
labor-saving machine and device. Its
prolific oil wells supply power in
abundance, and the white coal of the
high Sierras can never be exhausted.
Electric power lines radiate all over
the country, and there's a gasolene
station at every crossroads. And yet
California excels in the very crops that
require an immense amount Of hand
labor, and probably always will.
Where Is the genius who can pro-
vide a machine that will pick berries

A striking proof of this is the fact that
Juvenile delinquency has Increased IN
England 81 per cent since 1914.
The general lack of interest in the
Fresh Air campaign has been felt by
the Tribune Fresh Air Fund, not be-
cause the public has withheld its con-
tributions, but because the fund has
been, and is being asked TO shoulder
the task which other organizations are
finding 1t impossible to perform. Not

begging the Tribune Fund insistently
TO send children to the country for
them. This, Of course, the fund will be

"The awful sacrifice Of life that

Of the very agony America deter
mines to do what must now be done.
The President says: 1T is fearful
thing to lead this great, peaceful
people to war But he finds our

minion of right, so as to insure that

Who is wv. HarriS:!'

Who is W. Harris? is the question
which has been bothering the prose
cutting attorney and sheriff Of Mer-
Ger county Last Saturday sometime
they got word in some way that big
shipment of whiskey was due to ar
rive at Saline on the Burlington
freight that night, and jumping into
their Fords hiked to Saline. On arriv-
al they found shipment Of 2SS pints
of whiskev on board the cars billed
to w. Harris but it seems that tn"
oldest citizen of Saline knew NOTHING
of such person.
The prosecuting attorney. sheriff
and deputy sheriff then drove on to
Gainesville arriving about mldnlgAt
and acquainted Marshal Ristine
with the "details of the matter that
he might be on the look out for the
tidal wave of booze to this city.
The booze was not confiscated at
the time as the presumption is that
the officers wanted to catch the fel-
low who had such an abnormal thirst.
AS Iowa is now bone dry the liquor
may have been ordered to Saline with
the intention of being carried back
into Iowa in suit cases, a trick which

thrown up by the waters Of the old
lake, and ever and anon sWamps,
marshes and small lakes. Most of the
soil is deep black loan mixed with
sand. There is no stone, yet in
some places gravel banks are found
in connection with sand. Before this

grass covered the entire country:
Great prairie fires swept over it and
kept it free from timber except along
the streams and marshy places where
a heavy growth of oak, elm, poplar
