The Force Of Popular
VIII Steps In At lansing,
and the Rest is Easy

This idea occurred 10 us once while We
were at a circus.
Out came six or seven big elephants
and we thought for time, while they
were waiting around in the ring. that
they were doing IL of their own free will.
Eventually, however they all stood
back In q line and We noticed. prancing
along in front of them. little man in
blue Uniform with red cuffs and red
collar
The little man stopped in front OF one
Of the elephants. waved his arm around,
displaying a stick with a sharp point on
the end of it. and out stepped one of the
big brutes for an individual stunt
II the little man snapped his finger the
big elephant would sit down or he down
and do all the things he was directed to
do. and If the elephant hesitated for an
instant the little man would jab him with
the hook in the end of the stick.
We said to ourselves; IF that brute
should come to sudden understanding
of his strength, we would pity that little
man."
We thought of how easy it would be for
the elephant to pick the little man up
with its trunk and toss him through the
top Of the tent
And we said to ourselves, further:
"How like is the case of the common
people. If they only realized their
strength, how easily lot of things with
which they are dissatisfied, could be ad- |
justed to their complete satisfaction"
We have an exact case in point in Lans-
ing at the present time.
The people went to the polls last No
vember and voted the state dry.
They had reason TO believe that the ac-
ton of their legislature, based upon the
majority they piled up for prohibition,
would be just formahty.
But their legislature met and they
found q mysterious influence at work at
tempting to convince it that while the
people thought they were voting for one
thing. they were really voting for some
thing else-not for dry state, at all, but
. sort of compromise proposition between
wet and dry, on the order of half jag.
Then there arose in the legislature one
Of its members. Macarthur by name, TO
express it as his opinion that spade is
. spade when it is a spade, no matter
what it is called, and to introduce bill
based upon his conviction that when the
people Of Michigan voted for dr. state
they meant dry state.
This legislator, undoubtedly, felt quite
alone at the time of introducing his bone
dry bill.
Then suddenly he began to feel that
he was not alone at all.
He sensed some great but unseen force
back of him, supporting him, urging him
on.
So he has now prepared second bill
a dryer bin than the first one.
He feels called upon to get behind bill
that is as dry as a bill possibly can be.
He feels called upon to rout entirely
another bill that has been introduced in
the legislature and which is termed a
"one-drunk-a-month" measure.
He is positive that he has the support
Of rs per cent of the legislature.
We do not doubt it.
The legislators have been hearing from
home.
The force of popular will is being felt.
The people have sensed their strength
and refuse to be led around by little
man with sharp. pointed hook.

WITHHOLD TRAINS
 TO HURRY UP RECONSTRUCTION

With two piledrivers, two steam shoyels and several station men at work raising or lowering track to grade, not to mention the efforts un- der way to replace a couple ot worn out and dangerous trestleS, traffic over the main line of Seward is being conducted with difficulty these days
 Every effort is being bent on com pleting the cuts and eliminating trestles over the Mile 12 hill before it is necessary to start heavy traffic through to Mile 71.
 The steam shovels are hard at work removing rock already loosened, while the trains removing the material are digging back and forth over track in process of being lowered or raised.
 By shutting down on the work the train was allowed to go through to Mile 40 yesterday. The construction is more important than the traffic at this stage, however, so no more trains will be sent through before next Sun day.
 Resident Engineer A. D. Estes at Mile 52 is working three shifts of men clearing out the snow slide at Mile 53 1-2 and will probably have the line at that section open within 10 or 12 days.
 When the road over the Mile 12 hill is in condition to put the rotary snow blow across snow in the cuts from Mile 45 to 54 will be removed in short order and the line will be ready for traffic.
