TO RedIstrlct state.

A determined effort will be made
during the present session of the legis-
lature to obtain Legislative and jul
dicial redistricting Of the state. The
republican members will take the in
itlative and will stand as unit in its
support. This party has but thirty
three members out Of total of 1872 in
the two branches, but they expect to
obtain the assistance of the labor peo-
pie and other classes in the effort.
The very fact that they have only
the fourth of the Legislature, while
their party always casts nearly half
of the popular vote in state election,
is pointed to by the republicans as an
apt proof of their assertion that they
have been heavily Disseminated
against in creating the legislative dis
tricts.

In the beginning is the Word.
~ on. FRANK CRANE
tCopyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

In the beginning Is the Word.
We commonly think of the Word as
the end. the product and eventuation of a
thought 1t is But. once uttered,
word has certain reflex action, and re-
turns to have an effect upon the speaker.
We not only say things because we
think them, We also think things because
we say them.
mere are some who tell us TO say we
are well. and never to say we suffer, to
assert happiness and success. and deny
sorrow and failure. and it will be unto
Us according to our assertion. Perhaps
we have been impatient at such advice,
and declare we will not lie nor act the
hypocrite, but will honestly say what we
teel. And possibly we have regarded peo-
pie who talk so to Us as imbeciles, trying
TO lift themselves by their boot straps.
But revise your harsh Judgment. Go
over the matter thoughtfully. and you
may perceive that these enthusiasts are
not wholly wrong. There Is modicum
of truth in their idea. They have
glimpsed the secret power of the reflex
action Of Words.
Physically, a word is sound vibra-
ton: 1t is possible to break a wine glass
oy a properly pitched tone. And spirit
aally also Word has its vibrations, and
affects the mind and feeling.
We think in Words, when we think
,learly. For when our thoughts cannot
De expressed they are quite vague and
influence us not much.
We even feel in Words. Most OF our
desires and passions run in the channels
that Words have worn.
So there Is sound psychology in saying
that Words can make US sick or well.
Talk of your diseases and they will grow.
Talk health and you will be healthy.
II is not a matter of lying. but Of
selection and suppression. Search out any
normal, happy. successful, healthy ele-
ment in yourself-you can always find
something Of the kind il you look for II
and speak Of that. And IL you have
pain, depression. fear, worry or any sort
IF gloom, turn away your mind from it
as much as possible, and at any rate %
not talk about it.
Your strong. bright words will fly back
TO you. In every one Of them is a seed
of feeling; il will fall within the garden
Of your heart and make flower.
And IL you have the yeasting Of sour
ness and bitterness within you, at least
give them no culture Of Words; batten
them down in darkness and silence, and
they will die for lack Of air.
You can always keep your mouth shut.
II may help you. II certainly will help

The Detroit Teachers association, real
ling that the increased cost Of living
has forced everybody to undergo re
renchment and privations, and believing
that teachers should bear their full share
Of this along with others, is asking only
what seems essential.
Less than what is asked for will in
jure the efficiency of the schools, because,
unless relief is granted. many excellent
teachers will find other employment and
many Of those who remain will be led

Perhaps the Japs Would
Rather Be Prosperous
Jap Premier Terauchi says /:

II
II observe with no little misgivings
that the beautiful life Of simplicity in
the countryside is in danger Of being dis
turbed by the increasing invasion of vain
and fhppant customs and manners"
What ails the Japs is war munitions
prosperity.
Industrially and financially. Japan is
convalescent from the war with RNssia-
Probably for the first time, the Japan
csc people are not thinking so much
about the glory of war and national ex-
pansion as about the glory of money
making. and when this psychological
change comes to people that never has
had much, the simple country life usually
has to take back seat while folks go TO
town TO blow themselves in on the van
tiles and Aippancies.
A transfer of popular sentiment from
the field Of glory TO the field of 25 per
cent profit naturally causes misgivings
o old warriors like Terauehi and his
class.
When the five per cent Of Japan's aris-
tocracies again call on the common folk
10 fight they may find said common folk
TOO fat and happy to do it with the old
spirit

You Can Help Toward
Living Pay For Teachers
In Schools of Detroit

The Detroit Teachers association,
which has a membership of $500. in
September. 1916, requested the Board
Of Education to grant each of the 1875
teachers now receiving s1.100 or less a
year, an increase of salary.
This action was based on careful
survey of the living expenses of teachers,
which showed that the minimum living
wage for teachers, who Of course have
b conform to a somewhat high standard,
was then $3.50.
In reply, the school board voted spe-
cial increase of 500 for each teacher re-
ceiving $1,10O or less.
The entire amount appropriated for
this purpose by the Board of Education
was therefore siS7 500, which is 1.s per
cent Of the entire school budget as asked
for 1917 or an assessment of .03 of one
per cent on the 1916 valuation Of the city
Of Detroit.
The officers OF the Detroit Teachers
Association now desire to ask your help
In persuading the aldermen and the
board Of review to allow the amount t.
remain on the tax rolls. In connection
with II they respectfully invite your at
tention to the following considerations:
Only the actual needs Of the NOR,
poorly paid teachers is to be relieved.
Nothing but what seems essential il
odded TO the taxpayers burden.
Recent increases in the cost of liv
