RELATION OF RED CROSS
TO POLITICS

Mr.. John j. Porter,
Chairman Charlevoix Co. Chapter, i,
East Jordan, Mich.
My dear MIR. Porter:
The first general election since the
entrance of the United States in the
war, is to take place before long. The
Red Cross must be maintained a strictly
non-partisan, non-political organization.
The reasons for this are so obvious to
everyone that they need no elaboration.
Membership in the Red Cross includes
so many people and there are so many
men Of prominence engaged in its work
at home or abroad, that it is not at all
unlikely that many of them will be
candidates for office. No matter how
sincerely any Red Cross official or
worker may strive to keep seperate
his Red Cross work from possible polit-
ical ambitions which he may entertain,
he may and probably will be quite un-
able TO prevent his friends from using
his connection with the Red Cross in
order to gain favor with the voters.
While such action cannot be controll-
ed, all candidates for office who are at
heart sincere well-wishers for the Red
Cross, should realize that they must do
all in their power to prevent the public
from gaining an impression that political
preferment can or should directly or
indirectly be affected by Red Cross
work either at home or abroad. The
text of Red Cross service to mankind
is stamped by approval of the American
people, regardless Of politics, race or
religion. No taint of selfishness or
self-seeking can be allowed to creep
into the work, endangering and even
perhaps destroying its great accomplish
ment.
Accordingly, the Red Cross war
council instructs me to request that all
officials of the Red Cross, who are in
position of executive authority and
who at the same time contemplate can
didacy for public office, either to re-
sign in their official capacity from the
Red Cross or to refrain from such can
didacy. At the same time, we ask that
you give this statement the broadest
publicity and that you use every in
fl1ence of your office to prevent, in SO
far as is possible, the use of the Red
Cross or of any of its services either
directly or indirectly in the advance
ment, or in connection with the politi-
cal campaign of any person.
Yours very truly,
HOWARD w. FENTON,
Manager, Central Division.

Mayor Cross for
County Treas.
Will Be Candidate AT the
=. August Primary.

Mayor Alden E. Cross of East Jordan
has decided to become candidate for
the office of County Treasurer on the
Republican Ticket at the August Pri-
mary.
Mayor Cross needs no introduction
to the people of Charlevoix County.
He ms been a resident OF this County
for nearly twenty-five years, and has
taken an active interest in the business
affairs of both the cities of Charlevoix
and East Jordan where he has resided.
The citizens of East Jordan have shown
their confid ence in his ability by re-
tanning him as their Mayor for some six
years.
To the citizens of East Jordan the
only regrettable feature of his an
nouncement is that if nominated and
elected he will move to the County
Capitol and give the office his undivid-
ed attention.
w. w. Bailey of Boyne City as will
be seen by his announcement else
where-has decided to withdraw from
the race owing to unforeseen business
conditions. This leaves at present a
clear field for Mr. Cross. He is one OF
the strongest candidates in this pri.
mary and we believe will win the
nomination and election easily.

hundred.
When the survey of labor require
ments has been made and the aggre-
gate demand for unskilled labor in war
work is found, each State will be as
signed quota, representing the COM
mon labor to be drawn from among
men engaged in non-essential indus
tries in that State.
These State quotas will in turn be
distributed among localities. Within
each locality, employers in non-war
work, including those who are only
partially in war work, will be asked to
distribute the local quotas from time to
time amongst themselves. Quotas by
localities and individuals are to be ac-
cepted as readily as they are for Liber-
ty Loan and Red Cross campaigns.
This plan of labor quotas is a protec-
tion for all communities.
The object is to keep any community
from being drained of labor, and to use
local supply, as far as possible, for
local demand. The situation, however,
is such that in certain cases some men
may have to be transported over long
distances.
You will note from the above outline
that this is probably the most drastic
action that the Government has taken
since putting the National Army draft
into effect. The absolute necessity for
this program can be seen when it is
realized that in Pittsburgh, for instance
there are advertisements calling for
men to go to Detroit; while in Detroit
street cars there are posters asking
men to go to Pittsburgh. This same
condition is apparent all over the Unit
ed States and in the consequent shift
ing OF labor great part OF our war
effort is dissipated.
Because it is only through the press
OF the Nation that this matter can be
fully presented to the people, We are
asking that you lay this matter fully
and frankly before your readers-show-
ing them that this action is taken as a
war measure in order to protect not
only employers and the employed, but
communities as well.
Yours respectfully,
j. B. DENSMORE
Director General.

Resolution of CharlevOix County
Bar Association Upon the
Death Of Robert w. Kane.

The death of Robert w. Kane, long
an active and respected member of the
bar of this state occurred Friday July
18th. In the death of Mr.. Kane the
bar of Charlevoix County, and this
community, have suffered a distinct
loss He was known and appreciated
by his fellow practitioners as a close
student, hard and conscientious work.
er in his profession, and as courteous
gentleman. While possessing splen-
did knowledge of fundamental prin-
ciples, it noticably in his ability to
make application of the precedents in
the law that he came to be recognize ed
as one OF the strong men OF his pro-
fession. The deceased was born in
Galesburg, Illinois June 9th, 1856 and
was admitted to the bar May II, 1888.
In his earlier practice he was associated
with our present Circuit Judge, Honor
able Frederic w. Mayne at Charlevoix
Later he was identified with the late
Andrew ID. Cauickshank. During the
past twenty-five years he has kept
seperate office in the general practice.
He was public spirited citizen, TAX
ing always keen interest in the affairs
of his community, the state and nation.
Although never aspiring to public
office he was called 10 numerous
positions OF public trust, serving as a
member OF the Board of Education and
several terms of City OF Attorney OF
Charlevoix. UP to short time before
his death he was Chairman of the
Charlevoix County War Board and in
this position was markedly efficient
and enthusiastic. His patriotism knew
no bounds and his untiring zeal anC
hard work brought hearty words oi
commendation from those who knew ot
his labors and the sacrifices he hac
made. The task drew heavily upon
his physical strength, and in the opin
ion of his friends, no doubt hasteneC
the workings Of malady of long stand
ing of the existance of which even hi.
closest advisers knew but little.
And Whereas, 1t is fitting that the
members Of this Bar Association shoulC
pay fitting tribute TO the memory o.
the departed.
Therefore Be 1t Resolved, BY the
Charlevoix County Bar Association tha
we give expression of our feeling o
profound grief and sorrow in thi'
bereavement and convey to the family
and friends of the deceaseda an evidenc,
of our earnest and heartfelt sympathy
And
Be 1t Further Resolved, That thi
resolution be spread at length upon thu
minutes of this Association and that tn,
same be moved upon the records of th'
Circuit Court for the County of Charlie

of the court and a copy hereof present
ed to the family Of the deceased.

LABOR LEADER NEXT
AUSTRALIAN PREMIER
Frank Gwynne Tudor Once Worked
in Tinted States at Hat Trade.
Ministry May Be Short Lived.

MELBOURNE. Australia, January o.
Frank Gwynne Tudor. leader Of the
labor party. and member of the
house of representatives. will be the
next prime minister of Australia. The
Rt. Hon. William Morris Hughes ten
dered the resignation of the nationalist
government to the governor general
yesterday morning as a result of the
defeat, of the conscription proposals.
This was in accordance with the pledge
given by Mr.. Hughes that the ma
tionalists would refuse to govern the
country if conscription were not
granted.
Frank G. Tudor has for a considera-
BILE time been head of the labor party,
which was successful in defeating con-
scription, but this party is in the
minority in the Australian parliament.
It is believed that under these condi-
tions the Tudor ministry will be short
lived. But the political future is
clouded.
Frank Gwynne Tudor was formerly
minister of trade and customs. He
worked in England and America at
the felt hat trade, 1889 to 1894 He
introduced the trade union label into
England and the Felt Hatters' Society
in 1892. He returned to Victoria in
1894. He is strong advocate of more
extended trade relations between Aus
tralia and the United States.
