Which Means That the
Dry Forces In Michigan
Should Know Their Men.

Detroit's congressman, Doremus and
Nichols, were the only two members ol
the lower house Of congress from Mich
igan 10 vote against submission of the
prohibition amendment.
The Times knows both Of these con-
gressmen wel enough to realize that they
felt in duty bound to vote as they did.
It is their admission that they owe
their places IN congress TO liquor votes
and it is their signal that they expect 10
be returned 10 their places by liquor
votes
The Times feels that if either one Of
these men felt himself indebted To the
dry forces Of Detroit for his election.
he would have voted on the dry side but
as trained and experienced politicians,
both of them are found on the side Of
booze. for which fact the dry majority
which really exists in Detroit in sent-
ment is to blame.
The whisky crowd stands by It's
friends.
The law and order crowd is generally
pretty forgetful.
However, in the votes Of these mem
bers of congress there is the cue for
Michigan in her election Of members Of
the next Legislature, before which the
prohibition amendment will undoubted-
ly be placed.
Those who go to Lansing obligated to
whisky votes will vote on the SIDE Of
whisky and against the dry amendment.
Those who go to Lansing obligated to
prohibition votes will vote against whis-
ky and for the amendment.
The fate of the amendment in this
state viii have been determined when
the votes for legislators are counted.
1t is up to the dry people of Michigan,
therefore, to know for whom they are
voting.
To know the men for whom they are
voting they will first have TO mobilize
their maximum strength in the prima-
ries.
No mistake will be made by the dry
voters if they refuse to vote for any
man who refuses to come out in the open
and pledge himself to the amendment
The next legislature will be no place
for moral towards.
1t isn't bit early in the game for the
dry forces to line up and pick their men.
The chances are that the vets have
their men in mind and have them work
ing.
The campaign is on-the drys should
be in action.

His Hard Job

This is the story of the Terror
of the Adirondacks'' and how he
was tanned.
1t is also a tale of self-saerifice
and heroic work by a preacher of
the work of God.
He is Rev. DR.. James A. Thomas
and he's known as the Lumber
Jack Preacher" throughout the
Adirondack Mountains, where he's
spending the prime of his life in
making better the men who ply
the canthook and the peavy.
This tall, gaunt man. with the
fire of a great desire burning from
his eyes, is laboring day in and
day out, summer and winter, with
out salary or other return for his
work, ministering to both the
spiritual and bodily needs of the
men of the pine woods.
He has the ability and education
to make fame and money in either
of his professions--as a clergyman
or as a physician. He is a gradu-
ate in medicine, pathology and
surgery from Louisville, Cincin-
natl and New York City Univer-
sites; in divinity, philosophy and
sociology from Rochester Semi
nary and Colgate and Chicago
Universities; in biology, neurology
and psycholotheraphy from Clark
University at Worcester.
ITO understand the work that I
have in hand" he told reporter,
you must know what kind of
people l am dealing with. There
are four classes, New Englanders,
whose forebears came to the Ad-
irOndacks 100 years ago; French
Canadians, Italians and Indians.
Besides these there are few city
reared persons who have been
driven to the wilderness, some of
them by crime, others by drink.
They are poor. Ali winter the
men work in the lumber camps.
Some of them make the money then
earned sustain them the year
round; others cultivate small farms.

they will tackle man or beast when
they are hungry. The wolf strain
shows at once when they do not
get fed at the proper time.
Dried salmon is the food that
the mail route mushers in Alaska
give to the dogs. Two pounds of
salmon twice a day is the allow
ance for each dog. In the summer
dogs are no good to you at all, for
they are poor PACKERS" and you
have t. take off the pack at every
little stream, for a dog cannot
swim with pack on his back to
any advantage. Also you have to
pack their food, for you cannot
feed them on wild meat, or they
will fight all the time and kill one
another-that is huskie's nature.
Some mushers drive their dogs
in fan shape over glaciers, river
bottoms or tundra. They are all
driven on a diffent line, so they
can take care of themselves in case
of one dog going over the side of
a trail or in crevices while the
others can, lots of times, save the
whole team.
A dog whip is made of buck or
some other good hide and is from
IA to 20 feet in length; it is very
cruel and most effective weapon,
and it's sting is we'll known to the
dogs, even the sound of it's crack
ing is enough to restore order
among them when they are
fighting.
A huskie will never make
friends with man or beast; they
will stay by themselves at all
times and fight anything that comes
their way.

fore the attack was abated. Two
singles, three doubles and an error
settled any doubts up to that time.
Carlson, Lind and Carlstrom con-
tributed the two base hits.
After the fifth inning only one
of our pastimers got as far as third
base, and that was Fan. He
reached there through a base on
balls and two stolen bases. Wells
reached the middle station once in
the same inning, but there were
two out and the last batsman per-
ished on three strikes.
In the first of the ninth the WIS.,

Beyers made his second double,

Immediately | sent word to
the wife that | would be up to
take dinner with her husband and
eat some of the venison that he
constantly had on hand. And
about noon | went up to the shack.
The husband hadn't come home
yet. The woman was very nervous
and ran out continually to see if
the man was coming. She seemed
stricken with terror. While she
was outside, the little girl came up
to me and said, My pop says that

Just then the baby started cry
ing, and picking it up from the
crib l lulled it to sleep. The little
girl regarded me with amazement.

announced. He picks it up and
says, "You brat!" and then he
throws it on the bed.'
Then the mother came back in
and she seemed literally quaking
with terror. Seeing how fright

my staying meant trouble to her.

"You know these men of the
woods who make their living with
their muscles are hard men, un-
used to most of the finer things of
life. Their supreme contempt is
reserved for the man who will not
take dare. No matter how hard
or how dangerous the task a man
is dared to do, he must do it or
forever lose caste. It was such a
dare that brought me up against
the Terror of the Adirondacks.'
This man, strong as a lion, a
dead shot with the rifle, who con-
sumed great quantities of the ter
rible whiskey that was dispensed
in the district, was one of the
worst characters possible to
imagine. One day l paid visit to
his shack on Wallace Mountain,
where he lived with his wife, his
daughter, child of five years, and
a baby.
when he heard of my visit to
the shack, he was furious and
boasted that if ever ] came again
and talked religion or gave them
medical treatment he would throw
me over the precipice behind his
place and into the West Ausable.
Then the boys at the camp thought
they would find out my metal and,

she would never ask a man of God
to leave her house.
A few minutes later the Ter
rOr of the Adirondacks' arrived.
AS he entered the door, luckily
sober, 1 announced that l had
come to dinner. He favored me
only with dark look and didn't
answer me. Then l determined to
bring things to a showdown at
once.
Say l said, do you know
what you're called all through the
camps! They call you the mean
est skunk in the Adirondacks.
Why don't you brace up and be a
man?'
''For a while he ragged about the
cabin and several times moved to-
ward the rifle hanging on the wall.
But each time he wavered. He
called me all sorts of vile names
and declared that all religious peo-
pie were hypocrites. Finally he
subsided and l began talking to
him, telling him how much happier
he could be if he lived decent. Some
of my reasoning seemed to sink in
and finally he promised to reform.
And he did.
+ THAT was some years ago. He's
now one of the best men in the

womanhood, is in Buffalo hospital, study
ing to become trained nurse. She will

BASEBALL NOTES

The Giants got off in the lead
in the National league and against
the supposedly strong eastern
teams. Brooklyn to date has made
the poorest showing in the east.
Boston is gaining slowly and will
be one of the Giants strong COM
petitors.
In the American league the
White Sox got away in front,
emulating the Giants, and as both
teams are strongly touted to win
the respective pennants, their ad-
herents are in high glee.
Eddie Cicotte, White Sox pitch
er, is credited with the first no. hit
game of the season. He performed
this feat against the St. Louis
Browns during the first week of
the season.
Speaking of no-hit games, the
game in our ball yard Saturday
came uncomfortably close, and we
hope the locals do not again go so
near hitless this season. =
Honus Wagner's announcement
of his retirement is evidently bona
fide and many fans will regret this
peerless players absence. There
are rumors that, owing to lack of
material to fill the gap, the Pitts
burgh management will soon ten
der Honus a new contract at ad-
vanced figures.

On Quitting

How much grit do you think you've got?
Can you quit thing that you like lot?
You may talk of pluck; it's an easy word
And where'er you go it is often heard
But can you tell to jot or guess
Just how much courage you now possess?
Don't boast of your grit till you've tried it out.
Nor prate to men of your courage stout,
For it's easy enough to retain grin
In the face of a fight there's chance to win
But the sort of grit that is good to
Is the stuff you need when you're all alone.
How much grit do you think you've got?
Can you turn from the joys that you like lot?
Have you tested yourself to know
How far with yourself your will can go?
If you want to know whether or not you've grit
Just pick out JOY that you like-to quit
It's bully sport and it's open fight,
1t will keep you busy both day and night
For the toughest kind of game you'll find
Is to make your body obey your mind,
And you never will know what is meant by grit
Unless there's something you've tried to quit.
