wv Not Call First For

The Times considers the draft . re-
flsction upon the patriotism of the coun-
try and as giving comfort to the enemy
The opinion Of our army experts that
By CONSUMPTION alone can an army be
raised and proper account given by the
country In the war, is reproach upon
the good red blood in American veins
and should be resented.
II can be resented best, Of course, by
= sufficient number of volunteers 70

r
aat kind of an idea would it be Tor
the administration to call first for vol
unteers, serving notice at the same time
that II sufficient number of volunteers
have not come forward in 80 days, the
alternative will be CONSUMPTION?
Would not this be more fair toward
the man who really has not had the
time to study the matter and decide
whether ne should take an active part
In IL on the firing line?
Would this not be more fair toward
the man who may have decided that he
wants part in it on the firing line but
who requires a few days to determine
WHISTLER he can get his affairs in shape
% that he can go?
The Times Is not taking issue with
President Wilson.
No one can deny that we are in po-
sition now where we must have men,
The question Of how these men should
b raised Ia, however, debatable.

II rests with the people whether their
legislatures are good or bad legislatures,
and generally its obituary can be pretty
closely arrived at as soon as the votes
are counted.
Legislatures are exactly the kind of
legislatures the voters choose on election
day.
In Detroit the whisky slate went thru
last November. just as 1t always did.
But the whisky slate wasn't formidable
in Lansing. because the balance of power
resting in the representation of the state
outside of Detroit held it in check pretty
mucn.
The legislature lined up on whisky just
as sentiment was found TO be 81 election
day-Detroit and Wayne county for it,
the state against il.
For the dry bin the people have no
legislator 10 thank.
They may thank themselves.
They turned the trick themselves.
They spoke with emphasis and legis-
lator has the same peculiar sense of a
creeping child when it is spoken TO en-
phatically.
Every time the people speak with en-
phasis they will get what they want.
And the same theory may be extended
with profit TO every branch Of our gov
eminent.
The Times desires in no way 10 take
from any individual any Of the laurels
he may have won for distinctive service.
Some good men developed among the
representatives-men with q very clear
understanding Of why they were sent to
Lansing and men who gave q very accu-
rate Interpretation Of public sentiment.
The representatives of privilege were
there, also.
What we have said in regard to the
legislature applies in collective sense.
The PEOPLE did fairly wen in Lans-
ing in 1917.
The PEOPLE could have done better.

DAlRYlNG DAMAGED BY
PESTS TO MILLIONS YEARLY

More than fifty million dollars is
estimated to be the annual loss to
dairying from insect pests in the Unit
ed States. This loss is caused chiefly
through irritation and annoyance to
the milk COW which results in impro.
per digestion and disturbed feeding,
thus producing a loss Of flesh and a
reduction of milk.
The OK MARBLE, which lives beneath
the skin on the backs of cattle and
causese large painful swellings occa-
sions a three-fold loss. On the as
sumption that milk cows infested with
Marbles lose 16 per cent in milk pro-
duction and that 20 per cent Of the
2O,0o0,000 milk cows in the United
States are affected. the loss amounts
to not less than ssO,OOO,0O annually.

late Stephen G. Updyke, and mother
of DR.. Robert P. Updyke of Pasadena,
Calf, died recently at the family
