VICE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

About 5000 people heard, or tried
to hear Vice President Marshall's ad-
dress at Lewiston Thursday afternoon.
The principal part Of his address was
about the war, and he most unmerci-
fully scored and fayed the traitors
and German sympathizers in this
country. He said the American peo-
pie and administration at Washington
had reached the end of their patience
with the traitors and enemies of this
country during its hour of trouble,
and that from this time on they will
be dealt with as they deserve.
Mr.. Marshall compared the miser-
able traitors to the story of the adder
which the man put in his hand to warm
and bring back to life, when it showed
its appreciation by singing him to
death. He said that most of the trait
ors in this country who are so eager to
stab Uncle Sam in the back, left Eu-
rope on account of the unjust laws and
impossibility to make a living under
such government. They came over
here because this country offered better
inducement and opportunities than
could be found in an other country in
the world. Uncle Sam received them
with open arms, gave them all the land
they needed, protected and looked af-
ter them with the tenderness a father
would show his children, and provided
for them ten times better living than
they ever had or ever could hope tc
have in the old country.
Now when he has the opportunity tc
show his appreciation of the good
treatment this government has given
him he shows it by stabbing Uncle
Sam in the back at every opportunity
Mr.. Marshall says the administra
ton, acting on the advice of the United
States supreme court, has concluded t.
put a stop to treason in this country
by DISTINGUISHING every man who il
any manner-by word or action =
shows disloyalty against our Presiden
or government, con6scate his land anC
other property and turn it into tn,
war fund. The traitors are to b,
arrested and either imprisoned dur
ing the duration of the war or shipped
back to the country their sympathy i
with, through the water where the L
boats are thickest.
The Vice President says that al
peace officers in the United State
have strict orders to arrest all persons
I who are known to make disloyal re
marks about our President or govern
ment during the war and force then
to stand trial ON charges of treason
All loyal Americans are requested t
report to their local officers any an,
all persons who make such disloya
remarks, and Mr.. Marshall says tina
if the officers fail to do their dut
they are also to be classed as enemie
of the country and will be forced t
resign their positions.
Verify, from this time on, the pat
of the traitor will not be strewn wit
roses. He has had his inning-no,
it is Uncle Sans time at the bat.

Nearly all of the blowing and
other farm work on Camas Prairie
has been done at this date. Never in
the history of the prairie section has
the weather been so favorable. Prac-

There was knock ut the door, and the
parlor maid entered.
"Mr. Strangewey, madam" she an
nounced.
Louise looked at John curiously as
she greeted him. His face showed few
signs of the struggle through which he
had passed, but the grim setting of his
lips reminded her a little of his
brother. He had lost, too, something
of the boyishness, the simple light
heartedness of the day before. In
stinctively she felt that the battle had
begun. She asked him nothing about
the supper party, and Sophy, quick to
follow her lead, also avoided the sub
ject.
Luncheon was not a lengthy meal,
and Immediately it's service was con-
cluded, Sophy rose to her feet with a
sigh.

declared. 'Tet me have the den to my
self for at least an hour, please, Lou
Use. 1t will take me longer than that
to middle through your books"
Louise led the way upstairs into the
cool, white drawing room, with its
fiower-perfumed atmosphere and its
delicate, shadowy air of repose. She
curled herself up in a corner of the
divan and gave John his coffee. Then
she leaned back and looked at him.

Louise's capacity for fencing seemed
suddenly enfeebled. A frontal attack
of such directness was irresistible.
'For mel" she repeated weakly.
''Of course" he replied. "None of
your arguments would have brought
me here. If have desired to under
stand this world at all, it is because it

The place seemed wrapped in a mys

white, 1imbless spirit, floating here and
there across the dark bars of shadow
at the calling of the melody. There
was no apparent effort Of the body.
She was merely q beautiful, unearthly
shape. 1t was like the fitting of a
white moth through the blackness of a
moonless summer night.
But her motions grew more ami
mated, more human. With feet which
seemed never to meet the earth, she
glided toward the corner where John
was standing. He caught the smolder-
ing fire in her eyes as she danced with
in a few feet of him. He felt catch in
his breath. Some subtle and only half
expressed emotion shook his whole be-
ing, seemed to tear at the locked cham
Der of his soul.
She had flung her arms forward, so
near that they almost touched him.
He could have sworn that her lips had
called his name. He felt himself be-
witched, filled with an insane longing
to throw out his arms In response to
her passionate, unspoken invitation, in
obedience to the clamoring of his seeth-
ing senses. He had forgotten, even,
that anyone else was in the room.
Then, suddenly, the music stopped.

looking very trim and neat In simple

score of 35 to 1s, in fast and furious
contest, and at Dollar Bay Saturday
evening they were again bested by the
score of 80 to 8. The local team is
weak this year at present, due to lack
of practice and the fact that there are
three new players on the team. And
again both the Calumet and Dollar Bay
floors offer peculiar situations to the
L'Anse boys that are not met with here.
On both floors out of bound rules are
enforced, something that is not used
here on account of the size of the hall,

Listen to This.

Don't take your home paper. 1t is
the most active and powerful factor in
building up your town, and to support
it would involve you in the work.
Don't pay for it if you take it.
Newspapers are run on wind, and the
editor wouldn't keep the money any
way. He'd most likely pay it on his
bills.
Don't fail to tell the editor how to
run the paper. He has nothing to do
but listen and keep his temper sweet
Don't put your name to what you
want published. It's the editors bus
inees to espouse unpopular causes and
take your chestnuts cut of the fire.
What hurts your business might also
hurt his but that's different.
Don't notify the editor when you
change your postoffice address. He
may lose track of you and you will
escape paying the last two or three
years of your subscription.
Don't imagine that the newspaper
man has anything to do. Newspapers
run themselves and the ravens feed the
printers.

TUBERCULOSIS NOT
ONLY DEATH DEALER.

Those who are engaged in the state
board of health tuberculosis survey are
focusing attention on what they term
the "by-products of the campaign" F."
The fact is urged thatnot only will the
survey reduce the number of deaths
from tuberculosis, but also the number
of deaths from pneumonia, bronchitis,
grippe and other lung diseases. If the
health propaganda should take as firm
a hold on the people as the state board
of health would like to see it take
hold, it would in time reduce material
ly even common colds in the state.
In each county visited state nurses
gather statistics of the number of
deaths that have occurred from various
lung diseases, most of which are direct
ly or indirectly due to prolonged lack
Of sufficient pure air. In nearly all
counties the death rate from the other
lung diseases is more than twice as
large as from tuberculosis itself, but
it is commonly held that many Of the
deaths from the other diseases are di-
rectly or indirectly attributable to tu-
berculosis, 80 that the death toll of
this disease is larger than the official
figures indicate.
By curbing the spread Of tuberculo-
sis the state board of health must nee
essarily at the same time curb many of
the other diseases. And while the gos-
pei Of fresh air is not new. in many
places in the state it might just as
we'll be for all the use that Is made of
It, the state health workers declare.
And by giving new impetus to this
propaganda the tuberculosis survey Is
helping TO combat the other diseases
as well - tuberculosis.

INDIANS ASK FOR
CITIZEN RIGHTS.

Civilized Indians, human heritage
OF the state from descendants of the
very early frontier life, are demanding
constitutional enactment that will
give to them all the rights and priv
ileges of citizens.
The present state constitution reads
that "civilized male Indians, who are
not members of tribes, may become
citizens and vote" The words ."who
are not members of tribes" bar sever
al thousand Indian descendants from
the elective franchise, it is estimated
by the leading citizens, who have APP
pealed to Senators Wilcox and Roberts,
representing upper peninsula counties.
A constitutional amendment, removing
the citizenship barrier, will be proposed
in both houses.
Indians who are descendants Of the
Chippewa tribe refuse to give up their
organization. They consider it as a
family heirloom. and point with pride
to the fact that their great-grandfath-
ers, grandfathers and fathers were
members of the once powerful redman
organization, and, while that tribe in
reality has no physical existence today,
the word is one with which the north
ern Michigan Indians prefer to conjure.
They want the tribe recognized by law,
but also want the citizenship barrier
removed, placing them on the same
footing with the white man.
Some of the best citizens in Baraga,
Ontonagon, Keweenaw and Houghton
counties are descendants of the Chip
pewa tribe. They are engaged in
farming, numbering, banking, mercan-
tile businesses and other professions.
