WOman's Suffrage Gets
Recognition and Deadly
Cigarette Gets a Bump!

With the bill providing for presidential
suffrage having passed the senate, and
the referendum suffrage bill, which will
submit the question again TO the voters
of the state having passed the house, it
is reasonably safe 10 prophesy that the
women Of Michigan are soon to have JUS
tice done them if not completely, then
in part, in Michigan.
The referendum bill is much TO be pre-
ferred. as it gives an opportunity for I'M
restricted suffrage, and if an election car
ried would dispose Of the question for
ever.
Since the saloon will be out Of bust
ness before sucn an election can take
place, there is every reason to believe
that suffrage's greatest enemy would be
out of the field and that women would
not have to put up strenuous fight as
they have done in the past, in order to
carry the day.
Suffrage is in the air and is gaining
ground so rapidly in the different states
that il is difficult to keep up with it.
Since November, 1916, Ohio, Indiana,
North Dakota and Nebraska have been
granted presidential suffrage and the
suffragists of Michigan expect to carry
the house at Lansing.
Both suffrage parties are putting their
greatest power behind the federal amend
ment and for that reason are backing
the bills for presidential suffrage rather
than the referendum.
The believe that another state cam
paign in 1918 will not be necessary.
Whether they are right or not, our
legislators are showing decided i'm
provement in the action taken. :,
There was a time when Charles Flow
ers was the only friend that the suffra-
gists had in Lansing.
Many reforms seem to be getting rec
ognition.
One of another character is the cigar
cite bill which prohibits the manufacture
and said of this menace in the state.
1t has been accepted by the house II
committee of the whole.
There has beeR l4w prohibiting its
sale to minors for many years, but 1t has
never been enforced.
An experiment was made by William
Sylvester, who has been conducting an
anti-cigarette campaign in the schools
here. and 81 boys were sent to as many
places for the purpose of buying cigar
cites.
AT only one were they refused.
The strenuous work done by Sylvester
DR.. Kress, the Twentieth Century club
and others has no doubt had its effect.

Why Brand the Country's
Patriots? Branding of Its
Enemies Would Be Quicker

Patriotism is defined by Webster a
s1ove of country"
The people Of the United States ar
intensely patriotie-unitedly so.
They are not agreed always as to the
best means of expressing their "love OF
country and do not respond in unison
always TO its promptings.
Mother and father are not always
agreed ~ 10 just exactly what is best
for son or a daughter-often are found
vide apart, in fact-but the love of one
for the son OF daughter is no greater
than that of the other.
For instance:
The days leading up 10 the extraor-
binary session Of congress which con-
vened yesterday to pronounce the fate
of the country which all of us love with
the same love, found our Board of Com
merce engaged in securing signatures to
q pledge of loyalty. The Board Of Com
merce hit upon this plan as a means OF
demonstrating the love of country and
tAs patriotism represented in our city S
biggest and leading civic body.
Some of our citizens refused to sign
this pledge and resented it.
They thought the Board of Commerce
presumed somewhat in asking some
thing like a declaration of their loyalty
before a notary public.
The patriotism Of the one was resent
cd by the other, proud Of patriotism that
called for nothing at all like tanning or
rsconsecration.
The president of the United States
called for men.
Detroit automobile owners saw a
chance to show their patriotism, and put
banners on their cars calling for 1000
men from Detroit for the navy"
We heard some comment on thsee
signs by citizens whom we know to be
very patriotic
In fact they spoke from q desire TO
make the banners on tho autos as effec-
tivs - possible.
Or Of them suggested that the ban
nsrs should read:
sThe owner of this car and 999 men
from Detroit are needed for the navy"
The acceptance of 1000 banners would
have turned the trick.
Down in Philadelphia we found pa
tsiOtim and "love of country" in an
other form.
A peace meeting was scheduled for
Sunday night
II was to be held under the auspices
q citizens of Philadelphia who from
love Of country, desired its participation
n the war held within the bounds pre-
scribed by the issue with Germany-to
the protection of our ships and citizens
On legitimate missions.
Despite the fact that the pledges Of
loyalty sent from Detroit do not mean
necessarily any such thing, they were
forwarded to Washington to impress
upon congress sentiment on the part
Of the people here for war, with no limit
suggested.
The idea Of the peace meeting in
Philadelphia was to impress upon con-
Sress the fact that there is sentiment
In this country for peace.
But the peace meeting was not per-
united. by order of the police, and the
Impression that is made upon congress
y that the people of Philadelphia are for
var. with no limit suggested.
Philadelphia is the home of the Liberty
Hell, appropriately cracked for the oc-
casion of Sunday.
